There's something wrong with my chase

The sleeping bags were all spread out, and none of them were put away. Logically speaking, if George woke up, he should pack them up immediately.

Squinting her eyes, Catherine returned to the table and looked at the poker on the table.

Texas Hold'em, but judging from the unopened hole cards, this round should not be over yet.

wrong....

George's group didn't sleep here at all, or when they just returned to the wooden house to play cards, something happened suddenly, which made the group of guys leave directly.

Walking out of the wooden house, Catherine looked towards the mountain, gritted her teeth and drove straight up.

Don't even think about tracking footprints. In the case of light rain in the early morning, even experienced hunters can't track the traces of nearly ten hours ago.

But Catherine has a new discovery.

A gray pickup appeared ahead.

After stopping the car and getting out of the car, Catherine came to the front of the pickup and looked into the cab first.

The five-seater pickup, combined with the five sleeping bags in the cabin, this should be the car driven by that guy.

But why did it stop here?

What happened to get them out of the cabin in the middle of the night and let them continue up the mountain?

Turning her eyes away from the cab, Catherine looked around the pickup again.

A dent was found on the other side, as if it had been hit hard by some heavy and hard object, and the entire concave surface collapsed into it.

At this time, Catherine was no longer as angry as before, but felt a little chilly, and goose bumps appeared on her skin.But she couldn't tell whether it was because of the chill in the forest after the rain or because of the experience of George and his party who disappeared out of thin air as if something happened suddenly.

All the signs seemed to indicate that some time after George and his party returned to the wooden house last night, something happened that made them come out, and then they didn't return all night, and the car was lost in this place.

Catherine looked around at the somewhat quiet forest, the only source of life came from the chirping of insects.The chirping of insects in the morning should have been a pleasant call to her, but this time it annoyed her.

It's more like anxiety than boredom.

Eventually she took off and walked in the woods around the pickup.

There is no need to think about the traces on the ground, they have long been washed away by the rain.Catherine looked mainly for the signs of trees and shrubs in the woods.

After a few minutes, she really found a place.

A big tree as thick as one person hugged broke.

It's just that it wasn't broken by felling. The irregular section and sporadic wood fragments seem to indicate that the tree was broken by some kind of violent impact.

Catherine didn't stay here anymore, she returned to the wooden house by the same route, and drove her own car back to the town.

She didn't go back to the police station, but went directly to the old Suo Wei's house.

Now she needs to find a reliable person to discuss.

Old Sauvy's house was in the center of the town, next to a church.

Behind it is a mansion that is obviously more luxurious than ordinary houses.

That's the mayor's house.

Speaking of which, old Suo Wei and the mayor have been playing with each other for many years.

After the car was parked by the side of the road, Catherine walked into the yard to the door and lightly pressed the doorbell.

When she rang the doorbell, Catherine looked to the side and saw that the curtains on a row of windows in the house had been drawn down, which made Catherine frown slightly.

Old Suo Wei liked to bask in the sun very much, and Suo Wei's station in the police station was also in the best position for lighting.

After ringing the bell and waiting for a long time, there was no response, and she patted the door with her hand, but there was still no response. Just when Catherine was about to make a call, a dull voice came from behind the door.

As if talking under her throat, Catherine couldn't help but think of the mayor's second son, Link, who she saw yesterday and covered herself tightly.

"who is it?"

"It's me, Uncle Sauvy, Catherine."

Hearing that it was Catherine, the people behind the door were silent for a while.

"What's wrong? Why don't you open the door..."

"I have a bad cold. The doctor said it's contagious. You still have little Ximena with you. I won't open the door for now."

"What are you looking for me for? Didn't I already tell you to ask for leave and rest at home?"

Old Suowei's attitude of not opening the door was very tough, which also made the younger Catherine not know how to speak.

However, after hearing Suo Wei's words, she still told what she found out in detail.

"No hurries..."

"Look in the town first."

"But...."

That's the truth. In fact, Catherine wanted to organize people to go up the mountain, and wanted to let Suo Wei, who had more seniority and prestige in the town than her, speak out.

Suo Wei seemed to understand what Catherine meant.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's talk about it if we haven't found George until the evening."

Chapter 140 Eight Lockdown

There is actually no big problem with old Sauvage's suggestion. George and his group disappeared less than half a day ago, so it is indeed time to look for them in the town.

It's just that the experience of going up the mountain and the signs found in the wooden house are really weird, which makes Catherine deeply disturbed.

Speaking of unease....

There seems to be something wrong with old Sauvage today.Catherine couldn't tell what was wrong, but she just felt very strange.

After returning to the police station to prepare, Catherine was going to go to George's house again, to ask about his mother's situation, and explain the matter by the way.

Then visit the homes of four of George's other friends to see if George is back.

After calming down, Catherine felt that her thoughts were much clearer.

Maybe the anxiety before was just because of the inexplicable anxiety brought about by being in the deep jungle?

After making herself a cup of coffee again, and calming down, Catherine was going to contact George's house and mention the matter of visiting later.

Then she found that the phone had no signal.

"shit!"

Catherine couldn't help scolding, it seemed that today was a bit too unsatisfactory.

However, she drove directly to George's house and met familiar townspeople on the road, and she also learned the specific reason for the signal loss.

The base station broke down and is undergoing emergency repairs.

Because Yorkford Town is close to the mountains, the signal is all provided by the only signal base station in the town.Now if there is a problem with the base station, it means that the telephone network cannot be used normally.

Moreover, the town has just made a radio broadcast in the center, and the completion of emergency repairs will have to wait until at least tomorrow.

Back at George's house, George still didn't come home, and his mother seemed to be no stranger to his son's behavior.At the same time, she was comforting Catherine, after all, Catherine was George's immediate boss.

Although for a police station with only three people, and a small town that has been closed all year round and has few foreign populations, so the townspeople know each other more or less, there is actually not much difference in position status.

It was just lunch time, and George's mother forced Catherine to have lunch.

The kindness was hard to come by, and she was really hungry after running all morning. Although she was anxious to find out the situation, Catherine still had lunch at George's house.

After eating, Catherine left George's house directly.

In fact, she wanted George's mother to call and ask the family members of George's friends if anyone had gone back.Now that there is no signal, Catherine had no choice but to give up, and spent a lot of effort to find the door one by one, but the remaining four did not go home.

Those five people have disappeared for nearly eighteen hours since they went to the mountain last night.

Did something really happen?

But if something happened... what happened to the five people.

All five of them were armed with firearms, logically speaking, even if they encountered a beast in the mountains, none of them would be unable to return.

He dragged his exhausted body back to the police station, parked the car, and came to the gate of the police station.

After unlocking the door and walking inside, Catherine lay down directly on the old Sauvy's recliner.

I'll go to the old Sauvy's house later.

She already had a plan in mind.

No matter what tonight, I have to organize people to go to the mountain to find it.

Catherine, who was rubbing her eyebrows, suddenly sat up as if she had discovered something.

wrong....

When the same morning came, one thing was missing from the old Sauvage table.

It was a photo of old Suo Wei and his dead wife before.

Old Suowei always placed the group photo in the most prominent position on the table.

Old Sauvy back?

Came back specifically to take away the photo frame that had been sitting on the table?

Catherine stood up from the recliner, walked out of the police station quickly, and walked towards the police car.

But I just saw a family driving a car passing by the road in front of the police station.

The car seemed to have seen Catherine and stopped.

The car window rolled down, and a middle-aged man poked his head out. He was an acquaintance of Catherine.

"Hey Catherine, ready to go on patrol."

"Sam, did you just come back from the city?"

"Oh, forget it."

Sam sighed and shook his head.

"The way out has collapsed, and it's impossible to get through."
