"One week ago, someone saw my friend walking by the river. It was an afternoon." Meng Xing spoke after the waiter left. "The witness didn't think of anything and since he had something to do, he didn't pay attention. But, who knew - " he took a deep breath. " - my friend was never seen again after that." He told Lin Ze.
"Did your friend say where they will be going?" Lin Ze asked.
Meng Xing shook his head. "No." He answered. "Or else, I would go there and look for them." He said.
Lin Ze nodded. "How about who was with them?" He asked.
Meng Xing shook his head again. "They left alone." He answered and sighed.
"What about their family?" Lin Ze asked again.
Meng Xing looked at Lin Ze. "She is an orphan." He answered. "Like me." He added.
