Chapter 661: Something Might Have Happened

Hearing this, all the people on the spot opened their eyes wide, full of shock and disbelief. Since Yuenan was a southern province, more than 1000 kilometers away from Ye City, they had not expected that the final location of the mobile phone would suggest such a place.

Even captain Liu felt that it was incredible.

“Why is she there?” He uttered an exclamation.

The police officer was also confused.

“Captain, it’s really there. We suspect that He Xiyan may not have left Ye City by train, plane or other means of transportation, because there is no record of her buying tickets with ID card. She may have taken a ride through Internet platforms, or taken a taxi or driven there herself in a car rented. In a word, the situation is rather complicated. I think we should contact the police in Haichuan County immediately and let them assist in conducting a large-scale investigation in the place where the last message is sent out from the mobile phone.”

The police officer suggested so. Captain Liu immediately adopted it and made the decision as soon as possible, sending several investigators to Haichuan County.

Haichuan County was located in the southern part of Yuenan Province, where the permanent population was not large, only less than 120,000, including many ethnic minority inhabitants. There were many mountains, rivers and lakes and the terrain was complex. Its southwest part faced sea. It was one of a few counties which had no rails. The basic means of transportation to and from this county were coaches.

Compared with the bustling Ye City, it seemed very backward, even primitive.

The next day, the police officers who came to investigate arrived at the intersection of National Highway 1065 and Hailin Road, the position the cell phone signals last suggested. Ye Hao also came together with the police car. Having not closed his eyes for more than twenty hours, he looked quite haggard. His eyes were bloodshot and swollen.

He bit his lips, his heart always overloaded .

And at this moment, no one was more nervous, worried and frightened than him.

When they got off the car, they saw, 900 meters away, the intersection of a highway and a national road which was not so broad. The roadsides were flanked with dense woods and rolling mountains, which were not very high, each below 200 meters. But these mountains were lush, looking like virgin ones.

“The final location of the mobile phone signal is near here. All of us search in teams. Do search carefully. We can’t leave any place unchecked within 500 meters around.” Captain Liu ordered.

He did not look good. Obviously, this case had put him under great pressure.

The police, two in each team, began to search. One team searched by the roadside, and the rest went to the surrounding hills to carry out a carpet searching.

Ye Hao wanted to go with the police, but was stopped by captain Liu.

“Mr. Ye, please wait in the car for clues.”

Ye Hao, however, could not sit there in the car. He opened the car door and stood by the roadside watching those police officers who went to search. Looking at this remote place, somehow, he felt more panic the more he watched. He really could not understand why she would come to such a place.

After a while, eyes closed, he could only pray again and again in his heart for her safety.

Three hours after the search started, suddenly, a policeman rushed over anxiously. The policeman was sweaty all over and his face was pale. One could see that he must have found something. Otherwise, he would not be so anxious.

“Captain…” The policeman pointed to a hillside ahead.
