China's famous detective Jiangnan: There are ghosts on campus

Chapter 87 Another step slower (1)

The food in this restaurant is really good, I picked up a piece of chicken wing and ate it.However, I have a small appetite and I don’t like to eat greasy things. A bowl of rice with some vegetarian dishes and a few pieces of meat is enough for me.

Zhang Xiaoqi, on the other hand, was still eating.I shook my head and stood up.

"What are you doing?" Seeing me standing up, Zhang Xiaoqi asked curiously, "These dishes don't suit your appetite?"

"No," I replied, "just going to the bathroom."

"Oh." Zhang Xiaoqi ignored me and continued to enjoy the food.

I went to the toilet and settled the bill at the front desk casually. Because I didn't have much cash, I had to swipe my bank card.

I don’t usually spend a lot on material things, and I often spend a whole year lazy going to the street to buy clothes. The thick down jacket I’m wearing now was bought for me by Aunt Qing a few months ago, because my parents are martyrs and graduated from college. Before that, there was a monthly subsidy, and I lived with Aunt He Shuqing’s house since I was a child, so I didn’t need to spend any money. As for tuition fees, I have always had excellent grades, all thanks to scholarships.Therefore, I have never had any concept of money.

After all, sometimes money is not everything. When you lose something more important than money, you may realize that money, like clothes, is only necessary for life.

Back at the table, Zhang Xiaoqi had almost eaten, and was leaning on the back of the chair with her eyes closed to digest. 
After waiting for a few minutes, I said to her, "Let's go after eating."

"Yeah." Zhang Xiaoqi stood up staggeringly, and said with a smile, "This meal is really comfortable!" 
After leaving the restaurant, she was about to call a taxi when Zhang Xiaoqi's phone rang.Zhang Xiaoqi took out her mobile phone to look at it, and said to me, "It belongs to Uncle Luo."

"Well, you can take it." I nodded.

However, after the connection, Zhang Xiaoqi's expression seemed to be getting worse and worse.

I frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Luo said that Zhou Shengrong's call records were all deleted, and nothing was found." Zhang Xiaoqi said disappointedly.

"What?" I reached for her phone, "Let me talk to him."

"What's going on?" I asked in a deep voice on the phone.

"We were one step too late." Officer Luo's helpless voice came from inside, "Zhou Shengrong's cell phone was never found that day, and the call records inside the mobile company were hacked and erased the day after Zhou Shengrong's death."

"Is there no way to restore it?" I asked calmly.

"No." Officer Luo said with a wry smile, "Their deletion method is very thorough."

"I see." I resisted the disappointment in my heart and turned off the phone.

Still one step slower!
Seeing my disappointed expression, Zhang Xiaoqi comforted me, "Jiangnan, it's fine. We can find another clue."

"Yeah." I nodded, although I was disappointed, but I was also prepared to be disappointed, "Let's go, the car is here, let's go back first."——
Tomorrow will be next year, happy new year everyone.Also, I am finally on vacation, and starting tomorrow I will have more time to conceive the plot, write, and update more.In addition, I can't help but sigh with emotion, time flies so fast, everyone is one year older, ha ha.
