”Right.”
”I can't contact him, but it doesn't mean he's missing.” Song Zhengming said as he smoked a cigarette. Qiao Mu waved his hand to indicate that he would not smoke.
”I was just speculating, so I decided to go over and take a look.”
”Did Zheng Huili take you guys there?” Song Zhengming smiled and asked.
”Yeah, I didn't know at the beginning either. She probably joined our club to ask some experienced people to help her find her family in Flower Snake Village.”
”That woman …” ”I really …” Song Zhengming showed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, ”However, it's because she no longer has any confidence in us, there were a few times in the past where he was directly kicked out of the main door by us.”
”She's from the Flower Snake Village?”
”Yes, her parents and big brother all live in the Flower Snake Village. I heard that there's even a big sister. She died a few years ago.”
”Then she is the only survivor of Flower Snake Village?”
”It should be... But you can't say that they were survivors, and that group of villagers did not confirm their deaths. They might have really gone to other places, that much is unclear, and after Zheng Huili matured, he did not stay in the Flower Snake Village, but went out to work. ”
”Oh, does she have any other relatives?”
”It seems that there are still two nieces that belong to her sister's family. I don't know where they live, and they aren't in Flower Snake Village anyway.”
”Alright, then that's about all I need to know. Sorry for troubling Superintendent Song. I need to go to the Flower Snake Village as soon as possible, your side … You can't provide any help yet, can you? ” As he spoke, Qiao Mu stood up.
”Yeah, you have to make sure they're missing before you can report them. What if they're fine and can't be reached, don't you think? And they usually don't have enough time to file a case unless there's a special situation. ”
”Mm, alright. I'll be leaving first. I'll contact you again if there's anything else.” Qiao Mu knew that the police always followed the rules and regulations, so speaking any further would be useless.
However, just as Qiao Mu moved, Song Zhengming said: ”Wait …. ”How about this, I'll accompany you.”
Qiao Mu was stunned and said: ”Oh, alright.”
”After all, I was in charge of the previous case. It's good for me to understand and understand.” Song Zhengming said as he stood up.
Qiao Mu nodded. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was actually filled with gratitude.
Just when the two of them went downstairs, Song Zhengming said: ”Wait a moment, drive my car, you're not familiar with the mountain roads here.”
Very quickly, Song Zhengming drove the police car over. Just as Qiao Mu was about to get on the car, someone patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Yang Jie.
Yang Jie wore pink casual clothes and jeans and smiled at him.
”Why are you here?” Qiao Mu was shocked.
”I'm here to go with you. See, I've changed into my work clothes.” Yang Jie said.
”Did you come by taxi?”
”No, I got our television station's driver to help deliver it. He's back now.”
Song Zhengming rolled down the window and asked: ”Who is it?”
”Oh, my wife was the one who contacted you from the beginning, Little Yang.” Qiao Mu said awkwardly.
”That's right. Hello, Superintendent Song. Would you mind bringing me along?” Yang Jie laughed.
Song Zhengming nodded his head, then replied: ”Then get on, quickly.”
When the two of them got on the car, Yang Jie had even secretly made a face at Qiao Mu. ”Qiao Mu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He knew that although Yang Jie was a lot younger than him, she wasn't considered young either. However, sometimes she behaved like a child.
However, he also understood that Yang Jie was worried, especially since she had learned from Guo Yong's mistakes. Yang Jie always said that for someone like him, it was fortunate that he had her as her wife. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how she would live her life, it was actually the same for Yang Jie, the two of them couldn't live without each other. Thinking of this, Qiao Mu's heart felt warm.
The police car drove on the winding mountain road. Qiao Mu found that the road in this area was indeed not easy to drive. No wonder the bus would overturn.
”Did you find the person on the bus?” Qiao Mu suddenly remembered and asked.
”No, the rescue team has been searching continuously for three days already, there isn't even a shadow left.” Song Zhengming replied. Of course he knew about the local accident.
”Three days? Didn't something happen the day before yesterday morning? ” Yang Jie who was seated in the back row asked.
”How could that be? The news was released the day before yesterday. Actually, it happened more than a week ago. At that time, the higher-ups pressured us, saying that we can temporarily put this matter under control.”
”Really? Then where did all the rescue teams go?” Yang Jie asked again.
”Near the Flower Snake Village. Most of them are also from the countryside, so they are, after all, a little afraid of the village and do not want to be contaminated with bad luck. So when they come to the Flower Snake Village, they will only do a symbolic search, basically searching the area outside the village, and will definitely stop before it gets dark. ”
”Are they still looking for me today?” Yang Jie asked.
”You can't find it right? What are you looking for?”
”What about the other 20 people?”
”What can we do? Let's deal with it as a missing person.” ”Sigh, if you want to open up, that's how our country does things.” Song Zhengming said as he frowned.
Qiao Mu listened and thought: This Song Zhengming person is not bad, he will tell them everything.
”At that time, when you were dealing with the Flower Snake Village case, was it the same?” Yang Jie asked curiously.
”Not really, Flower Snake Village was a big case at that time, after all, there were at least a hundred people who went missing. ”After we officially set up the case, we immediately reported it to the County Bureau. The County Bureau then reported it to the City Bureau, and in the end, the City Bureau sent people down to cooperate with us and investigate.”
The police car was already on a flat road, Song Zhengming suddenly interrupted their conversation and pointed ahead: ”We're almost there, in front.”
Qiao Mu stuck his head out of the window and looked around. Feeling that it was a little strange, he asked Song Zhengming: ”Can the carriage go in?”
”No way!” Song Zhengming shook his head, ”Look at these small paths, there's no way to open them.”
Qiao Mu then turned to ask Yang Jie: ”If we can't drive in, then where are Zhou Yang and the others' cars?”
”Yeah.” Yang Jie was also aware of this problem.
