Hexi Province is located on the southwest border, with many mountains and rivers and very complex terrain. And because it is on the border, the situation of people in the province is also very complicated.
Xiyong City is located in the northwest corner of Hexi Province. Although it is not close to the border, it borders Pinghai City, which is located on the border. Most of the area bordering the two cities is mountainous.
2016, May 11, 8:18 pm.
A dark green jeep with a Jiang B license plate drove out of the Xiyongnan Expressway, and then drove quickly towards the southwest mountainous area.
According to the information previously given by Xu Mingzhi, after the van came off the Xiyongnan Expressway, it went directly to the southwest. The last place it disappeared was in the mountainous area bordering Pinghai City.
The mountainous area is very large, the terrain inside is complex, and there is basically no monitoring. Although Xiyong City found that the van entered this mountainous area, it was not sure where its final destination was. It's even possible that this mountainous area is just a transit point. It's possible that he went directly to Pinghai City, or it's possible that after wandering around, he changed cars and returned to Xiyong City.
When I reached the outskirts of this mountainous area with my peripheral vision, it was three minutes to nine in the evening.
After driving almost all day and all night, he was already very tired.
In the night, the vast mountains looked like giant beasts dormant, exuding a dangerous aura.
Out of the corner of his eye, he parked the car in an open space on the roadside near the surveillance camera that last photographed the van. After taking a water bottle and drinking some water for himself, he picked up his cell phone from the seat next to him and saw that there were seven or eight missed calls.
No need to guess, you can tell who it is from the corner of your eye.
After a glance from the corner of his eye confirmed his guess, he threw the phone back on the seat.
Outside the window, the woods are dark, and when the mountain wind blows, there is a rustling sound, as if a beast is passing through the dense shrubs and approaching here.
After looking at it out of the corner of his eye, he closed his eyes.
In fact, after receiving Xu Mingzhi's message and finding the map of this area on the Internet, he no longer had any hope of finding Liu Liu.
If he had some confidence that he could find Liu Liu when he saw the message left by Liu Liu, then after he saw the map of this place, he was only 1% confident.
And this one percent is luck.
But Yu Guang still came here.
Maybe he wanted to give an explanation to Sister Wen and the others, or maybe he wanted to give an explanation to himself many years ago.
Suddenly, the phone buzzed, breaking the silence of the night.
I took it out of the corner of my eye and saw that it was my mobile phone number.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up. The person who came over the phone was, as expected, Xu Mingzhi.
"Where are you now?" Xu Mingzhi asked impatiently before Yu Guang could speak.
He raised his eyes out of the corner of his eye and cast his gaze towards the dark woods outside the window, and replied lazily: "I just arrived in Xiyong."
"There is a Four Seasons Hotel in Xiyong City. Our people are there. I will send you a mobile phone number later. You can contact him and meet him. I can be there in two and a half hours at most." Xu Mingzhi said. The speed was very fast, and I was afraid that I would hang up the phone if I had another disagreement with Yu Guang.
But this time Yu Guang was very obedient. After listening silently to what he said, he said: "Okay."
On the other end of the phone, Xu Mingzhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, Yu Guang had already hung up the phone. Lao Wang, who was driving next to him, noticed that he looked strange and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Xu Mingzhi looked at his phone and said, "Nothing, he agreed."
"Isn't that a good thing!" Lao Wang laughed.
Xu Mingzhi felt vaguely uneasy. Yu Guang is not a peaceful person. It is really abnormal for him to be so obedient now.
After thinking about it, Xu Mingzhi was still worried, so he urged Lao Wang in a deep voice: "Hurry up."
Lao Wang glanced at the dial. At this time, the speed of the car was almost close to 140. Any faster and the car will drift.
However, Lao Wang stepped on the accelerator with a little more force.
On Xiyong's side, after Yu Guang hung up Xu Mingzhi's phone, he did not leave for the Four Seasons Hotel immediately. Instead, he set a two-hour alarm on his phone, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Two hours later, Yu Guang was woken up by the alarm clock. After he calmed down, he got out of the car and enjoyed the mountain breeze for a while. When I got in the car again, I was quite awake.
There were two more missed calls on the phone, one from Xu Mingzhi and one from Da Liang.
After ignoring them all without hesitation, he started the car, followed the navigation on his mobile phone, and turned around and drove to the Four Seasons Hotel.
Ten minutes later, before Yu Guang reached Xiyong City, Xu Mingzhi's call came.
"Where are you?" Xu Mingzhi's voice roared anxiously, with suppressed anger.
"Still on the way, I'll be there in thirty minutes." Yu Guang said and hung up the phone.
Thirty-seven minutes later, Yu Guang walked into the Four Seasons Hotel with a feeling of exhaustion. As soon as he entered, he saw Xu Mingzhi standing in the corner of the water bar talking on the phone.
As he was about to go over, another middle-aged man who looked a little older saw him and immediately stood up from his seat and waved to him.
Yu Guang walked over, and the other party smiled and stretched out his hand: "It's Yu Guang, right? I'm Wang Dawei. I'm here with Captain Xu. Just call me Lao Wang."
Yu Guang shook hands with him, said a few polite words, and just sat down. Xu Mingzhi finished the phone call. When he turned around and saw Yu Guang sitting there, he finally relaxed his worries.
The person had already arrived, and Xu Mingzhi didn't bother to settle accounts with him. After giving Lao Wang a gesture to indicate that he was optimistic about Yu Guang, he turned around and walked out of the hotel without even saying hello to Yu Guang.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he was a little surprised by Xu Mingzhi's reaction, but he still sank into the soft sofa and didn't move.
Seeing that he didn't move, Lao Wang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know Yu Guang's identity very well, but he just looked at Xu Mingzhi because of this man's impatience, and felt that Yu Guang might have a close relationship with Xu Mingzhi. Moreover, he had just observed carefully and found that Yu Guang looked quite similar to Xu Mingzhi in his eyebrows and eyes. The two might be related by blood!
If such a person really wanted to follow Xu Mingzhi just now, he really didn't know how to stop him.
Seeing Xu Mingzhi walk away and disappear completely in the lights outside the hotel, he turned around and asked Lao Wang: "Is there any new progress?"
After thinking about the possible relationship between Yu Guang and Xu Mingzhi, Lao Wang replied: "It is said that some clues were found in Pinghai City. They are almost here, and Captain Xu is going to pick them up."
Pinghai City?
Did those scum really go to Pinghai City from that mountainous area?
But when I thought about it again, I felt it was impossible. If those scum really went to Pinghai City, then it was not the people from Pinghai City who came here to find Xu Mingzhi, but Xu Mingzhi who went to Pinghai City to find them.
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Yu Guang's mind. He looked at Lao Wang and continued to ask: "Do you think it is possible to find him back?
When Lao Wang heard this, his expression turned serious. He pondered for a moment and said: "Yu Guang, I'm telling the truth. Don't be angry after hearing this. I have been a criminal police officer for almost thirty years. Over the years, I have been involved in several human trafficking cases. In so many cases, I have been Dozens of people have been trafficked, but over the years, no more than ten have been recovered. Most of them were reported to the police in time, and the traffickers were stopped before they could take them out of the city. Those who were taken out of the province , very few can be recovered. And..."
Lao Wang paused as he spoke, glanced at Yu Guang's face, and after seeing that his expression was quite calm, he continued: "These traffickers will use drugs in order to control them easily. Young people are less likely to use drugs because they are easier to control. Those who are older will basically use it. Over time, it will cause mental damage. Therefore, the longer the time is delayed, the possibility of normality will be very small even if it is recovered."
In fact, Lao Wang has tried his best to hold back what he said.
Those who only use ordinary sedative drugs are often the most ordinary human traffickers. But what Liu Liu encountered this time was probably not of this type.
The people in Pinghai City that Xu Mingzhi is picking up now have always been in charge of the 'D product' case. In other words, the group of people who took Liu Liu away were probably still engaged in the 'D-grade' business.
So, in order to control Liu Liu, it is self-evident what means they will use.
He has even seen those scum using these little girls to try out the new 'D products'. Those new 'D products' are often very toxic, structurally unstable, and have rapid onset. A slightly larger dose can be life-threatening, and many innocent people have lost their lives.
However, Lao Wang did not dare to say these words to Yu Guang. He still wanted to leave him some hope so that he wouldn't do anything impulsive when he got emotional.
However, Lao Wang didn't say it, but it didn't mean that Yu Guang didn't understand.
He lowered his head slightly: "Do you have anything to eat?"
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he immediately responded with a smile: "Yes." As he said that, he got up and picked up his backpack from the sofa next to him. He took out two loaves of bread from it and said, "I was in the service area earlier. If you buy it, you need to pay for it first."
Yu Guang was not polite, took it and started eating.
After just two mouthfuls, Xu Mingzhi came back with three people.
