C25 (1/2)

When he couldn't open the door, he took a key from his pocket and asked me to go in first.

He then called Tian Lu, but no one answered.

Tian Ze obviously became more anxious. I remembered that Tian Lu said that she would help me find Cao Mu today, so I asked Tian Zhiming if he knew about Cao Mu and his family.

”It can't be that we're really going with that brat, right? That brat is really boring.”

I said I would go with him, Tian Zhiming acquiesced. However, just as we were closing the door, we saw Tian Lu walk out of the elevator at the other end of the corridor, heading this way.

He lowered his head, looking extremely depressed.

Tian Zhiming walked up to her and asked her where she had gone to. It was so late at night for a girl like him to not be at home.

Tian Lu ignored him. She walked around Tian Zhiming and headed towards me. When she looked at me, her nose twitched and her eyes reddened.

I asked what was wrong with Tian Lu. She pulled me into the house and said to Tian Zhiming at the door, ”I'm tired today. You should leave first. Don't disturb our rest.”

After that, he mercilessly shut off Tian Ziming from the room.

Tian Lu looked at me with a wronged and apologetic expression. A hint of worry rose in my heart.

”It can't be undone?” It was the best of the bad results. So I chose to think so.

Tian Lu shook her head.

”All the documents have been lost?” It seems to me that this is the worst possible outcome.

Tian Lu still shook her head in disappointment. Then, she opened up her right palm, revealing a small piece of debris in her hand.

”Cao Mu is gone. The entire house is empty. It is as though he had disappeared from the face of the earth. I found this on the ground, a fragment of your sister's cell phone. ”

My heart sank. All my hopes collapsed in an instant. My only evidence and clues.

I walked mechanically out of the room. Tian Lu pulled me and asked me where I was going. I said I wanted to be alone.

Tian Lu no longer stopped me. I stood in the night wind and let them pierce through my clothes.

Without this crucial piece of evidence, there's only one last way left for me, to continue being a young lady, like the top floor coming together.

I thought of the hands that were on me, and I felt an inexplicable nausea, but it was hard to escape.

I don't have anyone to talk to. I don't know who I want to tell after I lost Sister Su.

Then I thought of Shang Qirong, the policeman who let me go today.

I took out my cell phone and called him. I heard the voices of other colleagues around him as he picked up the phone.

”I am Su Mo.”

”I'm on duty tonight. Where are you? ”How about this, tomorrow at noon, coffee around the island, I'll be waiting for you there.”

”Alright!”

”Is this your cell phone number?”

”Yes.”

”Alright, I understand.” Shang Qirong hung up the phone. When he spoke to me, his voice wasn't very loud. I didn't know why I chose to trust him. Perhaps it was because he suspected my sister's death. I didn't make a verdict on my sister Su's death so quickly like the other policemen did.

When I returned home, Tian Lu was still awake. Seeing me return, she sat up on the quilt.

There was still guilt in Tian Lu's eyes as she apologized. She did not expect Cao Mu to suddenly disappear from the face of the earth. She also promised me that wherever Cao Mu went, she would help me find him.

However, Tian Lu was still somewhat ignorant. She asked me what kind of important document I was talking about and how I cared so much about it.

I told her that it was a memento from my sister, and that it contained my sister's last memento.

I saw that Tian Lu was blaming herself even more, so I didn't say anything more. I advised her that it wasn't her fault, so there was no need to apologize to me.

The next day, when I got up, Tian Lu was still sleeping. I found that on my clothes rack, besides my seductive skirt, there was only a set of sports clothes and last night's uniform.
