Kapitel 6

I immediately added, "Mr. Luo, do you remember Mr. Guo, the one you hit with his car?"

Luo Ding was suddenly jolted again: "Yes, he's missing!"

The news of Detective Guo's disappearance was quite sensational, and he naturally knew about it.

I added, "You naturally know how he disappeared, right? There was something I didn't know when I was with him."

I've mentioned it to people, but no one would believe it, but it's true that Mr. Guo was in the elevator for at least fifteen minutes from the time he entered until he exited.

Long!"

Luo Ding's face turned even paler, and he murmured, "More than fifteen minutes, really more than that!"

I seized the opportunity to ask, "What's the situation? For the past fifteen minutes, or even longer, the elevator has been going up."

?

Luo Ding's expression was one of utter terror; his face was twitching, his eyes were wide open, and even his pupils were dilated.

His lips trembled, and his expression made me reluctant to ask any further questions, but I had to understand.

the truth.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Yes, the elevator kept going up, kept going up."

I stood up, walked up to him, and looked him straight in the eye. I hoped he would appear calm, because I truly...

There are many issues I want to discuss with him.

I said, "Mr. Luo, we are all adults, and all mentally sound and educated people. You..."

Do you think this is possible? In nearly twenty minutes, the elevator could ascend several thousand meters!

Luo Ding murmured absentmindedly, "I don't know, I don't know."

I then asked, "So, Mr. Luo, what happened after the elevator finally stopped?"

I thought that my question would trigger Luo Ding's memories of his ordeal, making him even more terrified and fearful, perhaps even causing him to...

I couldn't hold back any longer. But, to my surprise, he immediately calmed down and said, "Nothing happened."

"What!"

After saying that, he seemed to realize that what he said was somewhat inappropriate, so he added, "Then from now on..."

I've told many people at the hospital what happened, and Mr. Guo knows about it too. I don't want to say anything more!

I heard Xiao Guo mention him after the elevator finally stopped; he entered a residential unit.

Once on the balcony, looking out, there was nothing but a gray expanse, neither reaching the sky nor touching the ground.

Originally, I had absolutely no reason not to believe Xiao Guo's account. And at this point, it wasn't that I didn't believe Xiao Guo's account either.

I simply had doubts about Luo Ding's original account.

I have a strong feeling that Luo Ding is hiding something, and I can deduce that what he is hiding is...

The thing he was hiding happened after the elevator finally stopped and he got out!

This was evident from the moment I asked him what happened afterward, when he suddenly became calm, and from his initial statement, "No."

"What is it?" He later added, but still remained evasive and unable to articulate it clearly.

.

At this point, I naturally couldn't point it out directly, so I could only ask, "Mr. Luo, could you tell me more about this?"

"Where?"

However, Luo Ding had already given him the order to leave, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm very busy. Your business has been finished!"

"

I still said, "Then, could you talk to me about this in your private time? Because Xiao Guo is..."

My best friend, I need to know what happened to him!

Luo Ding laughed awkwardly: "The doctor has already explained my situation to me; it's because of being busy and stressed."

Urban life caused me to experience a kind of mental confusion due to excessive stress. I agree with this statement. Mr. Guo's loss...

"This has nothing to do with your whereabouts, please don't bother me again!"

He was making excuses, and his purpose in doing so was clearly to cover up some truths he was concealing.

Those truths must be closely related to Xiao Guo's disappearance, and I naturally refuse to stop here.

However, at this point, I could no longer continue the conversation with him, because he had already strode towards the door and walked out.

I watched him walk out, so I had no choice but to walk out too. But I was patient; I parked my car downstairs at that commercial building.

I waited in my car until it was time to get off work.

Many senior employees came to the parking lot to pick up their cars after get off work. I saw Luo Ding; he seemed to be interacting with the others.

There was no difference, and judging from his expression, he didn't seem to notice me at all.

I watched him get into his car and drive away, and then I followed him out of the parking lot.

To be honest, at that time, I followed him without any particular purpose. I wanted to find Xiao Guo, which was probably completely unrelated to Luo Ding.

It doesn't matter.

However, I feel that if I had a deeper understanding of Luo Ding's actual experiences, I might be able to find the answers even when I was completely clueless.

We might find a clue.

The traffic was very congested. Sometimes I was far from Luo Ding's car, and sometimes I was very close to him.

The car headed east, and after a while, the road became a bit less congested. I continued to follow him, and I saw him in front of a bakery.

He stopped the car, and someone from the bakery handed him a cardboard box. He took the box and continued driving.

There's no doubt about that; the box contains either cake or bread, which could be for his own consumption, or it could be something he eats every day.

Buying some on the way home to make breakfast for the kids is a normal action for a father in a normal family.

Luo Ding's car stopped on a side street. He got out, and several people greeted him. He must live on this street.

.

I stopped my car and watched him walk into a three-story building, the kind of building without an elevator.

When he walked into the house, he seemed perfectly normal, with nothing suspicious about him, which made me not want to get out of the car and continue following him.

I'm following him because he told me to stop bothering him.

However, apart from finding some clues about Xiao Guo's disappearance on him, there was no other way.

In the car, I thought for a long time before deciding to get out and go into the house. I knew he lived on the third floor; I had always...

Go up to the third floor, where there are two residential units. One of them has a bronze plaque nailed to its door.

The words "Luo Residence" are engraved on it.

I rang the doorbell, and the person who answered was Luo Ding.

Luo Dingyi's face immediately darkened when he saw me: "Mr. Wei, what do you mean by this?"

I knew perfectly well that my actions were wrong, so I had no choice but to plead: "Mr. Luo, I've come to ask you for help."

Help me!

Luo Ding's face grew even longer: "I can't help you with anything. I'm warning you, don't you dare bother me again!"

I heard a woman's voice inside the house loudly asking, "Who goes there?"

Luo Ding replied, "I don't know either, what an annoying guy!"

As he spoke, he slammed the door shut.

In the split second just as the door was about to slam shut, I impulsively wanted to break down the door and rush in!

But I didn't do that. I just stood silently in front of the door for a while, then turned around and went down the stairs.

The next morning, a police officer woke me up early. He warned me with a very serious expression, "We've received..."

They filed a complaint saying you were harassing a Mr. Luo.

I paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile: "I only asked him some questions, hoping to find clues and search..."

The missing Guo…

I was led here when the police officer waved his hand, interrupting my conversation: "That Mr. Luo accepted the doctor's advice..."

He then came to complain to us, bringing with him a doctor's certificate proving that he was extremely neurotic.

He is weakened; any disturbance will have an extremely detrimental effect on him, so please cease all actions against him!

I paused for a moment before sneering, "Actually, this Mr. Luo has been mentally unstable for a long time; it wasn't me who caused it."

He suffers from neurasthenia; I think you know about his story in that building, in the elevator?

The officer shrugged: "That's his problem. In short, he doesn't want anyone to bother him!"

I had no choice but to agree: "Okay, but I hope you'll go back and mention it to Mr. Jack. I think this Mr. Luo..."

He harbored a secret, and this secret would be helpful in resolving Xiao Guo's disappearance.

Colonel Jack of the police force specializes in handling extremely unusual cases. I know that Xiao Guo's disappearance case has...

It was handed over to him.

Colonel Jack and I were practically inseparable, but ever since the first time I met him...

To this day, they maintain this relationship, except on certain occasions when they meet.

However, I won't go to him, and he won't come to me. This is naturally because both of us are extremely strong-willed people.

Upon meeting, they hardly had anything to do besides arguing.

When I mentioned Colonel Jack, the officer immediately said, "By the way, the colonel summoned me before I came to see you."

He gave me a few instructions.

I raised my eyebrows.

The police officer said, "The colonel asked me to tell you that he knows you and Mr. Guo's staff are working hard, however..."
