Xu Mingzhi followed him to the factory building on the outskirts of the city.
More than a dozen people stayed there for more than two hours and almost turned the factory building over. They found a few iron blocks, but they were not the same as those fished out of the reservoir.
By the time they came back it was daylight.
When Xu Mingyi walked into the office angrily, Yu Guang was lying on the table and had just fallen asleep. After being awakened, he rubbed his brows and raised his body. After closing his eyes to calm down, he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Mingzhi. Seeing his gloomy face, he knew that there was probably nothing gained from this trip.
He frowned slightly, but he wasn't really surprised.
After all, if it was hidden in Liu Jinye's place, that place would definitely be discovered once Liu Jinye died.
Thinking of this, Yu Guang suddenly recalled that most of the information he had seen about Zhang Xueyi's itinerary in the past few days was blank.
If Zhang Xueyi had already thought about discarding the chess piece Liu Jinye, then he would most likely have made preparations in advance. In other words, the thing may have been hidden there originally, but he later moved it.
Thinking about it, he took out that part of the information from the table, read it again, called Xu Mingzhi, and told him what he had just thought.
After Xu Mingzhi heard this, he pondered and did not speak immediately.
The failure just now made him think that Zhang Xueyi might not have put anything at Liu Jinye's place at all. After all, judging from their current understanding of him, Zhang Xueyi should not trust anyone except himself. It was impossible for him to put such an important thing with Liu Jinye.
However, he has no other clues at the moment. Instead of wasting it, he might as well follow Yu Guang's instructions and touch it, just in case!
So, after taking two sips of tea, he left the office again. Lao Wang was not outside, so he personally went to the technical department and asked them to check the surveillance near the factory in recent days. This was a lot of work.
Although the factory building is not far from the main road, there is no surveillance at the intersection where you turn. If you want to check, you can only check the surveillance on both sides of the intersection and then compare it.
And that road is the main road into the city, with huge daily traffic volume. This comparative volume, even with the advanced technology, is enough to keep them busy.
The technical department is also very busy. Because of this case, the people in their department have been off work for several days in a row.
However, no one complained. After all, they were busy, and Xu Mingzhi and the others would only get busier.
After returning from the technical department, Xu Mingzhi went to Zhang Liangcheng's place again.
He was in a daze when he was woken up by Xu Minzhi.
After seeing that it was Xu Ming, he quickly woke up.
"Your brother's girlfriend has been found." Xu Mingzhi pulled out a chair opposite him and said as he sat down.
Zhang Liangcheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xu Mingzhi meant.
However, Xu Mingzhi immediately added: "She is currently being rescued in the hospital. Her condition is not very good and she may not be able to survive."
This time, Zhang Liangcheng understood, and his whole face turned pale.
"Did he do it?" He probably still didn't give up and couldn't help but ask.
Xu Mingzhi glanced at him but didn't answer. But the meaning is obvious.
Zhang Liangcheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, tried very hard to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and asked: "What about him?"
"Downstairs." Xu Mingzhi replied.
"He...recruited?" Zhang Liangcheng looked at him and asked hesitantly.
Xu Mingzhi smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhang Liangcheng's face turned pale again. In fact, they all know that Zhang Xueyi cannot recruit.
The two sat opposite each other, each in silence.
After a long time, Xu Mingzhi stood up, looked down at him with pity for a while, and then asked: "Besides that farm, is there any other place where Zhang Xueyi can go?"
Zhang Liangcheng shook his head without any surprise: "Even if there was, he wouldn't let me know."
Xu Mingzhi glanced at him, turned around and left.
Zhang Liangcheng sat there blankly, not moving for a long time.
Maybe he could never figure it out for the rest of his life, why his brother, who was so well-behaved when he was young, turned into a devil when he grew up?
Back in the big office, Lao Wang was back and was answering the phone. When he saw Xu Mingzhi coming in, he immediately raised his hand to stop him.
"The Hyundai car at the farm has been brought up. They didn't find Zhou Jiaoran's luggage in the car. They also searched the farm and found nothing," Lao Wang said.
Xu Mingzhi was already used to this kind of result. After saying lightly that he understood, he continued to walk to his small office.
After walking a few steps, the phone rang. Xu Mingzhi took it out and saw that it was He Yu's phone number, so he quickly picked it up.
On the phone, He Yu said that Zhou Jiaoran's parents had arrived and Zhou Jiaoran had just woken up, but her condition was not good and the doctor said she would leave at any time.
Xu Mingzhi seemed to only hear Zhou Jiaoran wake up.
So, he turned around and walked out again. He even shouted: "Yu Guang, Zhou Jiaoran is awake!"
When Yu Guang came out of the office, only Xu Mingzhi's back was left, and he quickly chased after him.
Twenty minutes later, the two rushed into the hospital.
Zhou Jiaoran has been transferred to the intensive care unit. When Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang ran over there, Zhou Jiaoran's parents were hugging each other and crying.
Zhou Jiaoran's mother kept complaining about her husband while crying. She felt that when Zhou Jiaoran was getting divorced, he not only refused to help him, but also kicked her out of the house, forcing her to divorce them.
After Xu Mingzhi listened for a few words, he was ready to go find a doctor.
He wanted to see Zhou Jiaoran while she was awake. No matter what, he had to confirm from Zhou Jiaoran that the person who took her away was Zhang Xueyi.
As a result, just after he found the doctor and had not exchanged a few words with each other, Zhou Jiaoran's parents noticed him, ran over, started to pull him, and kept asking them what happened to their daughter...
It took a lot of effort for He Yu and Yu Guang to pull the two people away and comfort them.
Finally, after communicating with the doctor, Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang changed their clothes and entered the intensive care unit. Among the rows of machines inside, they found Zhou Jiaoran, who was full of tubes and dying.
At this time, her face was as golden as paper, and her whole body was like a candle that was about to burn out. If there was a slight disturbance, the flame that was barely hanging on would be extinguished.
Xu Mingzhi called her several times by the window, and finally there was some light in her dull eyes. After moving with difficulty, her eyes finally landed on Xu Mingzhi's face. After a little doubt flashed through, her lips wriggled. For a moment, no sound came out.
Xu Mingzhi bent down and came up to her. After introducing himself loudly, he immediately got to the point.
When the name Zhang Xueyi was mentioned, Zhou Jiaoran suddenly became excited. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she raised her hand and grabbed Xu Mingzhi's clothes, causing him to stagger and almost pounce on Zhou Jiaoran. Ran body.
"He...he..." Zhou Jiaoran stared, trying hard to say something, but no matter how hard she tried, the words stuck in her throat could not be uttered smoothly. She became more and more anxious, and her eyes even turned red.
The machine suddenly screamed.
Nurses and doctors rushed over, and Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang were pushed away.
Zhou Jiaoran's eyes followed him, and the eagerness in her eyes was ready to come out.
But no matter how hard she tried, those words couldn't come out.
Then, without even catching a breath, Zhou Jiaoran's eyes suddenly turned pale, and her whole figure went limp all of a sudden like a doll with its strings cut off. The hand that had been trying to grab something also hung down feebly. .
The beeping sound of the machine became even more crazy.
Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang retreated helplessly under the nurse's reproachful gaze.
They waited outside the door for a long time, and finally received good news that was not good news at all.
The doctor said that Zhou Jiaoran's condition has stabilized temporarily, but they don't know when she will wake up again. In addition, her condition is very bad now, and their opinion is that even if she wakes up, it is not recommended that they see her again.
When Zhou Jiaoran's parents next to them heard this, their eyes suddenly didn't look good.
No matter how eager Xu Mingzhi was, he was not an unreasonable person, so naturally he couldn't force anything at this time.
When I came out of the hospital, it was already past seven-thirty. The two of them had only eaten one meal since yesterday, and they were already a little dizzy from hunger. So I randomly found a breakfast shop next to the hospital, had a random meal, and hurried back.
Before the car entered the compound, the technical department called and said they had made a discovery.
Xu Mingzhi has been hit too many times, and he doesn't dare to hold out hope easily anymore.
On the afternoon of the 5th, when the traffic volume was at its peak, the technical department spotted a van coming out of the branch road leading to the factory. After circling the city for half an hour, it went to a storage yard in the east of the city.
They had contacted the person in charge of the storage yard and confirmed with him that someone had indeed been there on the afternoon of the 5th, but he didn't see anyone, just an extra van.
The van was a junk car. The car was equipped with some spare parts and several large iron blocks.
At first, the person in charge only said that the car only had some spare parts, but the person who contacted him told the truth after a few threats.
Lao Wang has already sent someone to pull things.
After Xu Mingzhi listened to the report, he still didn't feel relaxed. His intuition told him that this clue might not be fruitful.
