"No." Li Zhizhi pushed his face away indifferently, walked a few steps forward, suddenly remembered something, turned around again, and said, "Unless you help I caught a pink panther."

Ah Wang was taken aback for a moment, watching his lightly leaving figure go farther and farther, and hurriedly pushed the shopping cart to follow. "Don't Zhizhi want to play by himself?"

"No." Li Zhizhi wrinkled his nose childishly, "Don't you remember the last time I invested 50 coins and got nothing? I don't want to be mad." Every time he does this action, he will habitually He puffed up his cheeks, as if he was really angry with the memories.

The two were talking about the ten claw machines placed at the west exit of the supermarket.This supermarket is close to their home and not far from Li Zhizhi's school, and almost all the daily necessities of the two are contracted.Since the introduction of the claw machine a few years ago, Li Zhizhi couldn't help but want to play every time he came to the supermarket.

—But none of them were caught.

Ah Wang is slightly better than him, and occasionally catches one or two, which makes Li Zhizhi jealous and envious.But in the end, all those Ah Wang caught belonged to him. Li Zhizhi, who was keen on being a robber, didn't feel guilty at all: Ah Wang didn't like these things, so he might as well let him play.

"Okay, help you catch it." Ah Wang couldn't help touching his head, and his fingers slid from top to bottom to the back of his neck, pinching like coaxing a cat.

Itching to death.Li Zhizhi gave him a warning look, shook his wobbly hands away, got up his spirits, and pulled him to turn in a direction: "We're going now."

It just so happened that the shopping was almost done, and he couldn't eat snacks now, so he skipped this step that he loved most before his death and went to pay.

Fortunately, it was not at night, and there were very few people queuing up at the cash register, which was exactly what Li Zhizhi wanted.He dragged Ah Wang to the self-service cash register closest to the exit. The man in front of them had already paid, and when he heard someone behind him, he speeded up.

Li Zhi took a step forward, put out the items in the shopping cart, and suddenly thought, no, this person looks familiar.He raised his head, just in time to see the profile of the man turning away, that familiar face made Li Zhizhi cry out in surprise.

"Professor Zhang! Why are you here?"

The man who turned his head was also obviously surprised. He stopped, turned around and looked at Li Zhizhi carefully, and called out his name with some uncertainty: "Li, Li Zhizhi?"

Li Zhizhi nodded, the surprise on his face had quickly put away, and he smiled politely and showed his white teeth, "It's me. Does the teacher also come to this supermarket to buy things?"

"Yeah, hey——" The man seemed to want to stretch out his hand and scratch his head, but when he raised his hand, he found that he was still holding a big shopping bag in his hand, and couldn't help showing a wry smile. "Have you graduated for two years? Time flies so fast."

"Yes," Li Zhizhi nodded sympathetically, sitting under the podium and listening to the professor's class as if it was yesterday.

Professor Zhang's full name is Zhang Tao, and he taught them pathology.Of course, for professors like them, taking classes is just a side job, and most of the time they still spend most of their time in the laboratory doing research or working in the hospital.In the five years of Li Zhizhi's undergraduate studies, I have to say that Professor Zhang's class is his favorite and the one he listens to most carefully.

Li Zhizhi dare not comment on his research, but the lectures are indeed humorous and fascinating, not to mention the friendly style of not calling names and drawing key points at the end of the semester. There is almost no one in their class who dislikes this professor, even He does not roll names, and every class can fill a classroom.And because of the relationship of the student union, Li Zhizhi often went in and out of the department's office for a while, and often met with this professor, and also ate with him at the department's dinner party.

The professor still looks the same, but he seems a little haggard. I don't know if it's because he has been busy with the subject recently.Li Zhizhi noticed that the collar of his shirt was a little messy, his hair was slightly raised, and his eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that he hadn't rested for several days.

"Is the professor busy recently? Is the teacher okay?" Li Zhizhi asked with concern.The professor and his wife are deeply affectionate and well-known in the department.

His words seemed to press some switch, Zhang Tao suddenly sighed, "Busy...not really. Your teacher's wife..." He opened his mouth, with a trace of uncertainty in his expression, hesitantly said: "Your teacher's wife disappeared."

"What?" Li Zhizhi was taken aback.The professor's wife is the teaching secretary of their school. She is kind and kind, and students will ask her for help if they have anything.How could it be missing?

Zhang Tao smiled wryly and said, "Are you and your friend going to have something to do? If not, go to my house." He lifted the bag in his hand, "It's not good to stand here and block the way of others."

Zhang Tao's house is very close to here, in a high-end residential area nearby, almost all of which are single-family villas.Li Zhizhi put the things back into the car with Ah Wang first, then followed the professor and followed him home.

The original plan of catching dolls turned into a visit to the former teacher's house, but Li Zhizhi actually wanted to refuse.But out of curiosity, and because this is a professor who has always loved and respected, he agreed.

Ah Wang obeyed him unconditionally, and at this moment he just followed them silently, listening to the occasional chat between Li Zhizhi and Zhang Tao.

Turning a few turns on the small road full of flower fragrance, Zhang Tao stopped and turned to face them: "Here we are, this is here."

This is Li Zhizhi's first visit to the teacher's house, and to be honest, it's still a bit new.He raised his head and looked at the building standing in the afternoon sun in front of him. This is a two-story European-style villa. The surrounding open space is planted with unknown flowers and plants, surrounded by grass walls that are one and a half tall. .

Entering the house, all the European-style decoration is very stylish, and the furnishings are also grand and noble.The first floor of the villa has floor-to-ceiling windows with good lighting. Sitting in the living room and looking to the left, you can just see the flowers planted outside.Sitting on the sofa, Li Zhizhi's eyes were always attracted by the scenery outside the window, and he didn't turn his head straight.

Zhang Tao just left, Ah Wang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Does Zhizhi like floor-to-ceiling windows?" The two of them discussed the renovation of the apartment they lived in at this time, but he never knew that Li Zhizhi liked floor-to-ceiling windows.

Li Zhizhi didn't seem to hear his words, turned his head after a while, and said softly: "My house used to have floor-to-ceiling windows. My dad opened up the balcony." In fact, he doesn't really remember what his home was at that time It looks good, but the image of the balcony shining into the floor-to-ceiling windows is very impressive, and it will appear in his dreams from time to time.

"...If Zhizhi likes it, we can also live in this kind of house in the future." Ah Wang replied seriously.

Li Zhizhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and reached out to touch his forehead helplessly, "Forget it, it's fine where I live now." Otherwise, he was really afraid that this person would say that he would move in a few days.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Tao took the tea back to the living room, and was a little surprised to see the two talking together.In his impression, Li Zhizhi was a good student who got along well with everyone, but he was always a loner in school. Who knew that when he saw him today, he had such a close friend.

"It's nothing, I'm just envious that the professor can live in a mansion." Li Zhizhi replied, while getting up to help him clean the table and start making tea.

"What kind of mansion is this? You should go and see Professor Lin's house. It's amazing." Zhang Tao laughed a few times, then stopped suddenly.

The kettle was working quietly, and a few wisps of smoke drifted out from the slender spout, drawing several inexplicable shapes in the air, but finally dissipated invisible.

Sitting across from them, Zhang Tao seemed to be unable to hold back the smile on his face anymore, and his eyes became somewhat depressed.

"Your teacher's wife disappeared at the end of last month. I reported the case and made a missing person notice. I have been searching for several weeks, but I still haven't found it..." He rubbed the center of his brows irritably. For the first time, he showed anxiety in front of the students.

"It's so good, why did it disappear?" Li Zhizhi was puzzled, looking at his expression, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious for him. "What's going on?"

"A few days before her disappearance, she sent a text message to me and a few friends saying that she was on vacation and wanted to go to relax by herself. She has always had a hobby of traveling alone. I also heard her say that she wanted to go to the famous glass plank road for a few days. After two or three days, she kept contacting me, until one day, she neither called me nor sent me a text message to report that she was safe. It didn’t feel right, and as a result, the person disappeared and could never be contacted again.”

It can be seen that Zhang Tao and his wife have a deep relationship. During the narration, he kept frowning, his eyes were full of deep worry, and his anxious tone made people worry.

"Actually, this is my private matter, and I shouldn't tell you. But now... I really have no choice. I think that even if there is someone who can help, it is a hope. I hope that if you have any news, you can contact me." He He took out two A4 missing person notices from the table and handed them to Li Zhizhi and A Wang respectively.

"Okay, we will." Li Zhizhi nodded solemnly.

He glanced briefly at the missing person notice, and there was a photo of two people printed on it. In the photo, the man was smiling elegantly, and the woman with her mid-hair and arms around her shoulders, who was also smiling, was Zhang Tao and his wife.

Search notices:

I and my wife Tian Jing (30 years old, female) lost contact at the end of June and have been confirmed missing.Maeda Jing left home wearing a white top, denim trousers, and Adidas sneakers. Her physical features are shown in the photo on the left.I implore everyone to help find it. If anyone provides clues, we will definitely thank you!

There is also a line of contact information printed in bold below.

Li Zhizhi looked at the familiar face in the photo, and recalled that the last time he saw Teacher Tian, ​​he was still smiling and encouraging him to successfully defend his defense, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the world is impermanent.

If accidents can be predicted, how can there be so much sadness in this world?

The author has something to say: Professor Zhang: I didn’t expect Li Zhizhi to have such a close friend. Hello, hello.

Ah Wang: Yes, there is one and only me. (Happiness is written all over the face.jpg)

Li Zhizhi:?Why are you so proud all of a sudden?

Ah Wang: Well, indeed, this is not something to be proud of.

Li Zhizhi: How can you admit your mistake so honestly today? !

Ah Wang: (Suddenly serious) I will be proud when I become Zhizhi's only lover.

Li Zhizhi: ... What are you talking nonsense about! (suddenly shy)
