Chapter 36 Traces of human habitation

"Unless what?" Zhu Lan asked.

Lao Sun had a serious face, "Unless she goes out to look for Song Xiaofan."

"Did you lie to us and run away with a guilty conscience?"

Lao Sun shook his head slightly, expressing his ignorance.

What happened was such a coincidence. I was just about to come to find Ms. Wang to check some doubtful issues, but I didn't expect that she disappeared at this critical moment.

"Master, what should we do?"

Zhu Lan blinked her starry eyes and felt some kind of uneasiness in her heart.

Lao Sun scratched his fingernails and said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that she will go up the mountain alone."

"Master, do you think Song Xiaofan met Ms. Wang halfway before setting off?"

"I'm not sure. Song Xiaofan may have said hello to her mother, but Ms. Wang didn't go with her for some unknown reason. It's also possible that Song Xiaofan saw Ms. Wang, but stayed away from her." Lao Sun recalled Ms. Wang's words, Make this guess.

"Then let's go find Ms. Wang quickly!"

"go!"

They headed back home.

But when they returned to the police station, they discovered that except Xiao Feng and Xiao Li, no one else was there. After thinking about it for a moment, Lao Sun realized that he had already sent people out to monitor Cheng Fei and check on Liu Hu.

No one has come back yet.

After thinking about it, she walked into the surveillance room of the police station and shouted: "Xiao Feng, come with me to find someone!"

"Ah? Who are you looking for? Aren't I using my eyes to look for Song Xiaofan?" Xiao Feng turned his head and stared in surprise. There were five surveillance computers in front of his desk, and the pictures on the screen showed various traffic intersections in Qingcheng City.

"Oh, yes, how could I forget this?" Old Sun slapped his forehead and said.

Without waiting for the captain to give the order, Xiao Feng's eyes returned to the surveillance screen. There are many images and the switching is fast. He could only stare tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

Lao Sun stood inside the door and moved his toes out, hesitating a little. The police force is limited and she cannot call it at will. She must arrange it appropriately.

Xiao Feng felt the staring eyes behind him, and his back straightened a lot.

Not long after, I heard Lao Sun say: "Forget it, the situation is urgent, you go out with me first."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Ms. Wang!"

Xiao Feng was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Lao Sun called Xiao Li again, and the four of them set off together. Of course, Lao Sun didn't forget to bring his old partner - Lao Gou Ah Huang.

When the group finally arrived at Xilang Mountain, the sky in the mountain entered dusk. The setting sun melts gold, and the mountains and forests are covered with a golden coat, dazzling and dazzling.

Late spring is still the season of recovery of nature. In addition to the evergreen trees in the mountains and forests, there are also grass sprouts sprouting all over the ground. After investigating the archives of the villa group invested by real estate developer Lin Zhiqiang, we learned that the villa group was built in early 2016 and sold half a year later - in June 2016.

The building complex is located on the entire slope of Xilang Mountain, gradually spreading out in a stepped fashion from low to high.

There are ten villas on each staircase, for a total of twelve staircases and one hundred and twenty villas. Surrounding the villas is a circle of densely planted trees. Although they are not too tall, they are dense enough.

Each villa here has three floors, with sealed cement roofs, rough exterior walls, and door frames but no doors. All in all, they are rough houses with no decoration inside or outside. The walls are high and well sheltered.

There are stone prototypes of lions in front of the door, but they have not yet been carved. The ground in front of the door was covered with vegetation and there was no time to cement it.

Standing at the bottom of the mountain, I stared at the silent buildings.

Lao Sun ordered in a cold voice, "Search the villas." Xiao Feng took out his beloved drone, and at the same time controlled the computer to make the drone fly high, to an altitude where he could not see. The camera installed on the drone was aimed at the villa group, and the search was started from low to high.

The picture on the computer was very clear. The villa was empty and showed signs of dilapidation. In addition to overgrown grass, there are also many excavated mounds of soil, and there are dark things outside the mounds. There are no human footprints here, and there is no smell of human habitation.

"Hey, what is this?"

Everyone gathered together to take a look.

Xiao Feng lowered the drone, but he didn't expect that it was a hole made by a mouse, and the black stuff was mouse droppings.

"Why are you looking at this? Don't you think it's smelly enough?" Xiao Li yelled.

"How do I know?" Xiao Feng muttered, already ashamed. He raised the drone again and flew quickly over the villas.

After browsing the first step, the second step, and the sixth step, the situation of each villa is surprisingly consistent.

"Isn't Ms. Wang here to look for Song Xiaofan?" Seeing this, Old Sun couldn't help but suspect that he had made a mistake in his judgment.

But Xiao Feng suddenly shouted at this moment, "Oh! Look, there is something here."

Lao Sun hurriedly lowered his head to check the computer, and everyone else also squeezed their heads to look. All the weeds in the yard of this villa have been cleared away, and many green vegetables have been planted. The doors and windows were tightly covered with black plastic film, not allowing any wind to pass through, and it looked very mysterious.

There are also several wooden benches placed under the outer wall of the window. The wood is in color, and one side of the rough surface has been polished to a shiny finish. This effect cannot be achieved even after decades.

There are clothes hanging to dry above the yard, including black nylon pants, long-sleeved tops that are lighter than red and darker than pink, underwear and underwear. In addition, except for the vegetable planting area, the visible cement floors under the eaves have been cleaned spotlessly.

There are some muddy hoes and shovels in the corner, as well as straw hats and raincoats hanging on them.

"It seems that there is a man and a woman living inside, and they are relatively old." Zhu Lan said thoughtfully.

"Look at the gate of the villa quickly." Lao Sun urged.

Xiao Feng raised the drone and aimed the screen at the door of the villa. This is a wooden door, covered with dry pine leaves, which completely blocks everything in the yard from the outside. There was no door frame, so someone made a door out of wood, with a rotatable door shaft inserted deep into the ground.

Xiao Li was very excited, "Look at what level this is?"

The villas were all rough houses. After they were abandoned, all the copper house numbers were collected and sold. So far, they have not found a house number on the screen.

Xiao Feng said: "This is the seventh step."

After suspending the drone reconnaissance operation, a group of four people walked towards the villa.

They walked along the edge of the dense grove, the branches and leaves on the road stumbling. All the way to the seventh step, everyone was panting from exhaustion. Walking along the dirt road in front of the villa took another long time. Finally, sharp-eyed Zhu Lan saw the wooden door.

A door frame made of multiple wooden nails and wrapped with dead leaves, that's it.

"Who do you think would come to live in this abandoned villa deep in the mountains and forests?" Lao Sun asked.

"Maybe they are homeless people, maybe they are old people without children, maybe they are old people who have no ability to work, maybe they are parents who are seriously ill and don't want to drag their children down." Xiao Li boldly speculated.

Zhu Lan was puzzled, "You can tell they are old people just based on their clothes? Can't they be Ms. Wang and Song Xiaofan in disguise?"

"Better be careful!" A group of people took defensive postures and were just waiting for instructions.

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound coming from inside. I wonder if anyone was inside.

Lao Sun waved his hand and said, "Come in!"

Three people rushed in, with Lao Sun outflanking them at the end.

　Thanks to those who voted for it, I will continue to work hard
