The People Inside the Walls - Extra Chapter 2: The Child Without Household Registration

Ten years ago, after Gao Zhenwei disappeared, the Gao family did not report it to the police, nor did they leave a complete missing person record. The more Teacher Zhang investigated, the more something felt wrong, because she was certain that Gao Zhenwei had existed, and that he hadn't left on his own. She found a piece of paper in the records with Gao Zhenwei's handwriting: "If I disappear, please protect Zhenxiang." Meanwhile, Gao Zhenwei was not actually dead. On the night of his disappearance, he was taken away from the Gao residence by K. "I need to go back, my brother is still at home." But K stopped him: "If you go back now, you'll both be in danger." Gao Zhenwei had no choice but to leave a note: "Zhenxiang, your brother isn't abandoning you." However, this letter was never delivered because someone was tracking Gao Zhenwei and warned K: "Don't let that child come back, and definitely don't let him talk about what happened ten years ago." At the same time, Teacher Zhang received anonymous threats but continued her investigation. She discovered that before Gao Zhenwei disappeared, he had actively sought help, stating that his brother was being harmed and that someone was constantly monitoring him. She also found a clip from campus surveillance footage. The day before Gao Zhenwei disappeared, a man wearing a black ring stood outside the school gate, watching him from a distance. Ten years later, Wang Jing'an was flipping through photos left by Teacher Zhang when she suddenly heard three knocks from behind the wall. Knock. Knock. Knock. Then, a child's voice softly said: "Brother didn't leave on his own." Wang Jing'an asked, "Then who took him?" There was no answer from behind the wall. She finally understood. Gao Zhenwei was not dead. He had simply vanished from everyone's sight. And the man wearing the black ring has still never truly appeared.
