Xuanwu City.Liquan Town.

Xiantu Xiaoxie is a homestay on the edge of Liquan Town, close to Baishui Village, the location is relatively remote, so there are not many tourists even during the New Year holiday.

Zhu Jiangjiang had called in advance, and as soon as she got out of the car, she saw the innkeeper waiting at the intersection.

"Sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you to pick it up at such a late hour. I don't know if there is an extra room. I met a friend on the way and said he wanted to live here too."

Zhu Jiangjiang smiled politely.

It doesn't matter if you don't, at most, you can drive Lin Zihan to sleep with Shi Chong.

"It's just a little effort. I usually sleep late. The location of our inn is hard to find. If I don't come out to pick you up, I probably won't find it."

The innkeeper's name was Luo Ding, a tall and thin young man with a pair of black-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose and a mole on his chin.

He was wearing cotton slippers and wrapped in a thick military coat, looking friendly and easy-going.

"There are not many rooms, but there are still beds. Although the whole bed is not as comfortable as a single room, it is cheaper. It only costs 25 a day."

Rodin breathed a sigh of relief and made a 25 gesture.

"The bed is good, I haven't tried sleeping in a Datong bunk yet!" Lin Zihan was eager to try.

As for the safety of his belongings, he was not worried, so he directly gave Zhu Jiangjiang his documents and wallet.

After walking for about 10 minutes in the winding alleys, I finally arrived at Xiantu Xiaoxie.

There is flowing water on the small bridge in front of the gate, and there are red lanterns hanging on both sides.

The gorgeous and blooming firecrackers are all over the wall, like clusters of dancing flames, which look antique and interesting.

Pushing the door open, you will find a courtyard with carved tables, chairs and swings. The house has two floors around the courtyard, and it is an antique wooden building.

"There are four suites in total, and three are upstairs. You came late, so you can only live downstairs." Luo Ding handed Zhu Jiangjiang a key.

Zhu Jiangjiang looked up, and unexpectedly found that a room upstairs was still lit.

Just as he was thinking about calling Shi Chong for a try, the window of the lit room suddenly opened, and a familiar figure appeared in the window.

"Jiang Jiang?"

Uncle Da was smoking a cigarette in a daze, completely ignoring the lighter in his hand.

"Uncle Da, are you still asleep?"

Lin Zihan waved excitedly, and ran upstairs regardless of what Luo Ding said.

Seeing that Zhu Jiangjiang also walked up on his own, Luo Ding guessed that several of them knew each other well, so he didn't bother to make fun of himself.

Anyway, the deposit has been collected, and what needs to be said has been said, and he yawned and went back to his room.

"Why did you two come here? I knew that Lan Bo didn't have a doorknob."

Uncle Da rubbed his scorched and curly beard on his chin, and greeted Lin Zihan with a warm hug.

Now that the matter has come to an end, he simply told the two of the ins and outs of the matter——

Uncle Da's hometown is in Xianghai, while Sao Da's hometown is in Xuanwu.

Because Xianghai is relatively close to Qinglong, Dashu and his wife will return to Xianghai first and then Xuanwu every Spring Festival.

Unexpectedly, a few days before the new year, Mrs. Da suddenly received news from her family that the old man had fallen ill, and she was so anxious that she simply returned to Xuanwu ahead of schedule.

Uncle Da was worried that his wife would take their daughter to go out alone, but it was difficult to go away if something happened at home.

Coupled with Mrs. Da's repeated insistence, he had no choice but to stay in Xianghai, thinking of rushing to Xuanwu to join his wife and daughter immediately after the ancestor sacrifice on the first day of the new year.

"In the past few days, we have been talking on the phone sooner or later. On the first night of the first day of the new year, her phone suddenly stopped working. She called her brother, but no one answered the phone either."

"Rural people go to bed early, and I didn't think much about it. I thought she was tired from playing and forgot to charge."

Uncle Da looked remorseful, and rubbed his face with calloused hands, his eyes were bloodshot.

That morning, Mrs. Da revealed on the phone that she would go to the town to go to the market in the afternoon, so Uncle Da didn't think much about it.

"How did you know that in the morning of the second day of junior high school, the phone still couldn't get through."

Dasao's younger brother finally answered the phone, saying that her sister hadn't come back all night.Uncle Da became anxious immediately, and immediately bought a plane ticket to Xuanwu.

It usually takes more than 24 hours for a disappearance to be filed. In order to find out the whereabouts of his wife and children faster, Uncle Da immediately thought of seeking help from Shi Chong, who has a wide range of friends.

"First of all, we can be sure that Mrs. Da's disappearance was definitely not voluntary."

As Shi Chong spoke, he turned on the laptop on the table, and on the screen was the surveillance video just sent by Lan Bo.

Since there are many ancient villages in Liquan Town and the monitoring is not widespread, it took Lan Bo's effort to search for Mrs. Da's whereabouts from the extremely limited monitoring images.

This is a piece of surveillance from the entrance of the Liquan Police Station. In the picture, Mrs. Da hurried across the road opposite the police station alone.

When passing the police station, she paused for a moment, but turned around and left within four or five seconds.

"When she stopped, she deliberately looked at the door of the police station, as if she was looking for a camera?" Zhu Jiangjiang pointed to the picture where her footsteps stopped.

"Yes, we think so too. It feels like she is implying something, but we haven't seen it for the time being, so we are planning to go there for a while." Shi Chong pondered.

"And Mrs. Da took her daughter with her when she went out, but she was alone on the surveillance, which is obviously unusual."

No mother will leave her child in a strange environment unless there is a compelling reason.

……

Liquan Town.Torreya Road.

The silver moon is like a hook, and the townspeople stop their cars.

Except for the brightly lit bars, all the doors of other shops were locked, and the street was lonely and deserted.

In order to facilitate movement, Shi Chong went to rent a car as soon as he got off the plane.

There are very few traffic lights in Liquan Town, and the drive from Xiantu Xiaoxie to the town police station was smooth, but it took more than ten minutes.

There were still police officers on duty at the police station at night, so Shi Chong and Uncle Da went to inquire about the situation.

Zhu Jiangjiang ran to the opposite side of the road and turned around, trying to figure out the purpose of Mrs. Da's stay here.

There is a row of tall birch trees planted by the roadside, which is a common street tree in the southwest.The trunk is straight, less pests and diseases, and tenacious vitality.

"What are you looking for? It's been a whole day. Even if Mrs. Da had left any news here, she would have been picked up by street sweepers long ago."

Lin Zihan looked at Zhu Jiangjiang, who was groping around with the LED lights on, with a puzzled face.

But if he didn't understand it, he still cooperated with him to find it.

Zhu Jiangjiang was looking for it on the side of the road, while he was looking for it at the door of a shop facing the street, and soon found a camera in front of an optical shop not far away.

"Look at the direction of this camera, it should be able to take pictures of Mrs. Da." Lin Zihan quickly sent a message to inform Shi Chong.

It's a pity that this camera is private, so if you want to see the surveillance content, you may have to wait until tomorrow.

On the other side, Zhu Jiangjiang recalled Mrs. Da's every move under surveillance, and always felt that something was wrong.

After much deliberation, she couldn't figure it out, so she simply replaced herself in the role of Mrs. Da, and started from scratch.

Go forward step by step...

Here it is, stop!
Then, Mrs. Da looked at the police station and put her hands on the tree trunk...

Zhu Jiangjiang's slender fingers stroked the birch tree, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration!
