Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

"There's no point in notifying them since they're already in the barracks. Even if we did, it would be pointless. The army is very strict, and they can only come on weekends. That would be really frustrating and would only delay the work of our fellow soldiers!"

"Jiang Yan doesn't return home or to school late at night. If something happens, it's hard to say. It might even damage the relationship between the two families. It's better to notify them. Even if they can't get out, what if they can call a few people they know and have them look for her in Liufeng City? Wouldn't it be faster with more people? Even if Jiaying goes to the police station, he might not be able to mobilize many people. Didn't I hear you say that the police station's Rong is not good enough?"

Mr. Lu was reluctant, but after hearing what Mrs. Lu said, he thought it was reasonable and got up to make a phone call.

Lu Qinghuan was held down by Mrs. Lu at the table and ate a few bites. After Mrs. Lu finished her call, she immediately stood up and went over: "I want to call Sister Mianmian!"

Xie Mianmian had left the phone number of their university dormitory. You can call her and ask someone to ask Xie Mianmian to answer the phone. It's night time now, so Xie Mianmian must be in the dormitory.

She called, but it took a long time for the call to be connected. She waited for a while longer before she could talk to Xie Mianmian.

Xie Mianmian's gentle voice came over: "Huanhuan, you called me so late, did you miss me?"

"Sister Mianmian, my third sister skipped class—"

Lu Qinghuan immediately spoke up to complain. She didn't know if it was because Xie Mianmian's voice and tone were too gentle, but she seemed to really have an older sister whom she could rely on closely. She felt wronged and anxious when she spoke about this, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"Skipping class?! Why?" Xie Mianmian was so scared that she almost stuttered. After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Another person who was also terrified was Si Cizhan, who was in the army. He had just hung up the phone, his heart already in his throat.

Due to some special reasons, Si Cizhan's office phone was connected to another line directly to his dormitory.

However, you can only receive calls in the dormitory but not dial calls.

When the phone rang at this time, Si Cizhan thought it was some urgent task. When he heard it was Mr. Lu's voice, he was slightly relieved, but then he had a very bad premonition and asked hurriedly:

"Mr. Lu, is there something wrong with Jiang Yan?"

The usually cold voice sounded a little more anxious. Old Lu said:

"There's something going on, but don't worry. Jiaying and Lu Ze are already busy. Huanhuan just came home and said that Jiang Yan skipped classes and left school this afternoon and evening. She hasn't returned to school even after the dormitory door was closed. We asked Lu Ze to go over to the house over there to check, but there was no one there."

Si Cizhan felt as if a bomb had exploded in his mind, making him almost want to throw away the phone and rush out of the barracks to find someone.

He quickly calmed down, his frown becoming sharper, and he thanked Mr. Lu first:

"I understand. Please ask Brother Lu and Lu Ze to spend more time looking for it. Jiang Xiaowen and I will find a way to contact some people to help find it."

The call was quickly hung up. Si Cizhan picked up the military uniform he had just taken off and strode out of the dormitory, heading straight for Jiang Xiaowen's dormitory.

Jiang Xiaowen had just come back from taking a shower. Seeing him coming with such a fierce and imposing aura, people would immediately retreat away from him.

He had never seen Si Cizhan like this before. He was like a ferocious beast about to be released from its cage.

Jiang Xiaowen quickly put on his shirt and picked up his coat and asked, "What happened? Is there a new mission?"

I was mentally prepared to take emergency action.

Si Cizhan said, "Let's go in and talk."

As the two of them went in and closed the door, Si Cizhan's voice was filled with subtle worry and helplessness:

"Your sister Jiang Yan skipped classes and ran out of school. She's now missing."

Jiang Xiaowen was stunned the moment he heard the news. Then he was completely shocked and turned around anxiously:

"Why did Yanyan skip class? Was she bullied? Did you see anything unusual about her when you went there last week?"

****

Before taking a break, Si Cizhan and Jiang Xiaowen found a way to call a few brothers they knew in Xiaoyu City and asked them to help find someone.

Even though they were extremely anxious, it was already the army's designated sleeping time.

They were destined to have a sleepless night. Jiang Xiaowen sat on the edge of the bed, shaking his legs anxiously and impatiently, thinking about Jiang Yan skipping classes, and his whole heart was filled with anxiety.

He made various guesses, such as being bullied, falling in love, or being led astray by classmates, etc., but no matter how he thought about it, none of these seemed likely.

But apart from these reasons, what else could make his usually well-behaved sister skip classes?

Jiang Xiaowen couldn't figure it out, and felt even more depressed. He simply stood up and did a few sets of boxing in the dormitory. He worked up a sweat and just suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, but as soon as he stopped, he couldn't sit still again.

Si Ci Zhan lay down on the bed, and all he could see was Jiang Yan's figure when he closed his eyes. He wondered why she skipped classes and left school, and what dangers she might encounter. The scene when he met Jiang Yan during the previous mission to rescue someone came to his mind.

He looked disheveled, his hair and face were dirty, and his hand holding the gun was a little unsteady.

Why do you stay out all night?

He was afraid that something might happen to her, so he thought about it over and over again, pondering the hypothesis, and finally sat up in bed.

I sat on the bed in silence for a while.

Si Ci Zhan quickly put on his clothes and shoes, then leaned against the door to listen to the noise in the corridor, then opened the door and went straight to Jiang Xiaowen's dormitory.

Just as I reached the door of Jiang Xiaowen's dormitory, it opened before I even pushed it.

When Jiang Xiaowen saw Si Ci Zhan at the door, he quickly let someone in. The two of them closed the door and looked at each other in the dark in the moonlight outside the window.

They were both dressed neatly, not wearing a short-sleeping shirt or shorts as they would when sleeping, or even without a shirt at all. It was obvious that both of them were ready to go.

Si Cizhan didn't wear the white shirt he usually wore on holidays, as that shirt was too eye-catching at night.

He changed into a dark-colored, loose, casual long-sleeved shirt.

After all, they were friends for many years, and he instantly realized that the other party's plan was the same as his, and they were both preparing to sneak out of the army to look for someone.

"You can't go. If both of us leave, who will cover us in the army?" Jiang Xiaowen immediately persuaded Si Cizhan.

But both clearly wanted the other to stay.

Si Cizhan said, "I'll go. If we're discovered, I've done more than you and can handle this better than you. Making a small mistake won't be a big deal."

The possibility of being discovered is naturally small, but it must be taken into consideration.

"That's my sister!" Jiang Xiaowen said immediately, "If I'm found out, I have to go too. You stay in the army to provide support."

Si Ci Zhan couldn't refute this statement.

Indeed, no matter how good his relationship with Jiang Xiaowen was, Jiang Yan was still Jiang Xiaowen's sister, not his.

It would be most reasonable to let Jiang Xiaowen find it.

But he couldn't wait for news in the army. He was anxious and panicked. When he thought carefully about the possibility that Jiang Yan might have been in trouble, he even had difficulty breathing.

Si Cizhan glanced at Jiang Xiaowen and walked straight to the window. The expression on his face was as grim as the silvery moonlight.

He said, "Any delay of even a minute or a second is a waste of time, and perhaps that is the most critical time."

"Don't dawdle. I'm leaving now. I'll be back before reveille. Go wait in my dorm. I'll call you if anything happens."

Si Ci Zhan pointed to the watch on his hand. He usually doesn't wear a watch, but he put it on specially this time.

It’s to better control time.

Jiang Xiaowen was a little angry, but he was really moved by Si Cizhan's words. Who in the army could be faster than Si Cizhan now?

Isn't it because they are afraid that something might happen to Yanyan that they are sending out troops so late at night?

Save time whenever you can.

"Okay. After you find Yanyan, you can scold her nicely - no, you can't scold her, teach her a lesson - no, you can't hit her, just give her a few words."

Jiang Xiaowen spoke in a roundabout way at a very fast pace, but Si Cizhan didn't respond to him.

He looked at the situation downstairs, then climbed out the window and went downstairs.

The two people's dormitory is on the second floor, and this height is not difficult for Si Cizhan at all.

He was also familiar with the sentries in the military camp. It took him some time to avoid people in the military area. He could not walk on the main roads near the military area to avoid being discovered.

Si Cizhan crossed mountains and rivers and got a little far away from the troops before quickly returning to the main road and rushing to the county town.

He arrived at the county town as quickly as possible without taking a break, and then quickly found someone he knew to borrow a car.

The county seat here is some distance away from Liufeng City.

This person was from a long-distance convoy, named Mingyang. Si Cizhan was originally more familiar with this person in the convoy, but he had an accident on the road at the beginning of this year and had already quit.

When Si Ci Zhan found Ming Yang, he scared him.

"Brother, why are you outside?!"

Mingyang quickly pulled Si Cizhan into the house.

The people in the Xiaoyucheng team are quite familiar with Si Cizhan and Jiang Xiaowen, but they are not very clear about what these two people do.

All we know is that he is from another place and is a bit elusive, but he can bring some useful information to the team from time to time, mainly about safety, where the accident happened, and which roads the team cannot go to.

These two people are very well-informed, and sometimes they also remind the former team boss Zhao Erge of some very obscure things.

Brother Zhao quit the team because he wanted to make more money, but something went wrong. He made money in the end, but he also lost a hand.

The Zhao family members followed Brother Zhao Er and withdrew from the convoy.

Mingyang is both worried and happy to see Si Cizhan now.

Mingyang and Si Ci Zhan were not very familiar with each other before, and they are still not very familiar with each other now, but he has a very good impression of Si Ci Zhan, and he really wants to call him "brother" when he calls him that.

As for who is older between Si Ci Zhan and him, Mingyang doesn't care.

Even though Si Ci Zhan is older than him, it doesn't matter if he calls him brother.

"It's an urgent matter..." Si Cizhan simply and clearly explained the matter of borrowing the car.

Ming Yang immediately said:

"Brother, you came at the right time. If you were a day later, you would have to find someone else to get a car. We are going to leave tonight. Come on, you have a big deal, let's go now."

Originally, Mingyang planned to sleep a little longer and then go out around one in the middle of the night to meet up with the rest of the team at Liufeng.
