"Where are your other friends?" Xia Tong asked.

Qu and Dong gave an overview of the situation in a few words.When he said this, the relaxed atmosphere just now changed suddenly.

Hearing this, Zhou Che's expression faded from the carefree expression just now, and became a little more serious.Xia Tong raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Four people, two men and two women, logically speaking, the chance of accidents together should be very small, so don't worry. How about this, I'll call the hotel owner first and ask him if the four of them have returned." Zhou Che After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call immediately, and asked the boss about the whereabouts of the four people in a familiar tone.In the end, it was learned that the four of Gao Long and Lu Yan never returned to the hotel.

Now the atmosphere became more serious.

"When is the latest time you agreed with them for this round?" Xia Tong asked.

"At the latest, it's almost twelve o'clock now." Luo Luo looked at the time.

"Well, if you are really worried, leave one person here to wait, and the others will go to the Canfang to have a look."

"Then I'll go with Yu Bing, Luo Luo, you stay here and wait." Qu Hedong made a quick decision, it's better for boys to do the running.

"Then... so be it, be careful. Should we call the police?" Luo Luo hesitated for a while and said.

"Why call the police? Am I not a policeman? First things first, let's go and have a look first. If there is really a problem, it's not too late to call the police." Zhou Che smiled when he heard the words. It's better not to call the police lightly.

"I'll go with you and drive my car there." Zhou Che put away the slightly cynical smile on his face, pondered for a moment and cast his eyes on Xia Tong.

Xia Tong frowned, his gaze fell on Xia Yubing vaguely, and he didn't speak.

"Then let's go now." Xia Yubing stood up from his seat.

"Let me go with you too. I am much more familiar with this place than you." Xia Tong said after thinking for a moment.Zhou Che looked at him with surprise in his eyes, as if he suspected that he had a hearing problem.

"Then thank you all." Qu Hedong said.

A group of people went to Canfang according to the plan.

On the way, the car passed by the neighborhood near their hotel. Xia Yubing looked at the end of the street outside the car window, and then at Zhou Che who was driving. He rubbed his temples and said, "I've been having some inexplicable dreams recently."

"Huh?" It was a black off-road vehicle, Zhou Che was driving, Xia Tong was sitting in the passenger seat, and Xia Yubing and Qu Hedong were sitting in the back seat, Qu Hedong looked at Xia Yubing upon hearing this.

"Well, recently I always dream about that gray van on the corner of the street." Xia Yubing paused and said softly, "I always dream that someone throws a big moving bag into the car, and then drives away."

Xia Yubing didn't miss the suspicious gazes of the two in the rearview mirror. Qu and Dong were taken aback when they heard the words, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "It's a little numb for you to say that now."

Xia Yubing went on to say: "It's true, so I always feel numb when I see such a car recently. But I just said it casually, there is no other meaning, don't think about it."

Zhou Che said: "Now you children are really, you are thinking wildly all day long, and you don't know what nonsense you are thinking about, just like my sister."

Hearing this, Xia Tong looked at him hesitantly: "Your sister? No..." He looked at Zhou Che's eyes and didn't continue speaking.

"Why do you always call us 'kids'? Your sister is about the same age as us." Qu Hedong raised their foreheads.

Zhou Che shook his head with a smirk, and began to tell many interesting things about his sister.The dullness in the carriage was quickly broken, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"Turn left at the intersection ahead." Xia Tong said.

"Hey, did you see, it's a real navigation." Zhou Che joked, pointing at him.Xia Tong looked at him and didn't respond.On the contrary, Qu Hedong in the back row smiled helplessly.The same is true for Police Officer Zhou, he himself is the real "children".

There was a lot of traffic at noon, and the car moved forward stumblingly. It usually took less than half an hour to travel, but now it took nearly an hour to arrive. When it arrived at the destination, it was already a little closer.

The four searched around the Canfang separately, but they didn't see a shadow of any of them.

"Tell me about their morning schedule," Zhou Che said.

"We left at 9 o'clock in the morning, and they should have rushed here as soon as they left," Qu Hedong said.

"Depart from the hotel at nine o'clock in the morning and walk for about 15 minutes to reach the public bus point. At that time, the traffic flow is not very large, so according to normal conditions, it takes about 40 minutes to get there by car. Walk from the nearby bus stop It takes about 5 minutes to get here, which means they will arrive at the entrance of Canfang at about 10 o'clock." Xia Tong analyzed it quickly after hearing the words, and then looked at Zhou Che with a calm expression.

Xia Yubing looked at Xia Tong after listening to these words, thinking how did he know that he was leaving from the hotel, who among them told him?It was Zhou Che who told him, but looking at these two people, it really doesn't look like they have a particularly good relationship.

"You mean to let the surveillance camera at the entrance take a look?" Zhou Che asked.

Xia Tong nodded: "Yes, didn't you bring your ID?"

Zhou Che snorted and laughed: "That's not true."

Qu and Dong on the side were a little confused. How did these two people read information from each other's eyes?

Zhou Che found the monitoring room of Canfang without hesitation, and showed his police ID to watch the surveillance video around 10 o'clock at the main entrance of Canfang.

When the first batch of tourists entered in the morning, there were not many people, so it was easy to find. Soon, they found four people from the somewhat blurred video.

"I saw four of them, around ten twenty in the morning, enter through the main entrance."

During this period, Zhou Che asked the staff to find out the approximate time of the peak period for the inflow and outflow of people in the Canfang visiting area.

"The first batch of tourists usually enter at this time, and then visit for about half an hour to an hour. Around eleven o'clock, there will be the peak period of the first outflow of people, and they come to 'collect the wind'. It is estimated that The visit time is longer than that of ordinary tourists, and you have made an appointment to gather at the restaurant on the pedestrian street before 11:30 p.m., so it is speculated that they will leave the park around [-]:[-]. Let’s take a look at the video of each entrance and exit at that time Let's see if they come out."

The four people checked the video of that time period, and finally Xia Yubing found two familiar figures first: "You guys came to see these two people, aren't they Gao Long and Xiao Xiao?"

"They seem to be taking an old man with them," Qu Hedong said.

Xia Tong was taken aback when he heard this sentence, as if he had thought of something, his expression was a little dazed for a moment.

"After sending the old man to the exit, they went back!"

"What about the other exits? Didn't you find any of the four of them?" Zhou Che asked.

Everyone in the monitoring room shook their heads.

"When did you first call them?" Zhou Che asked.

"It was asked Luoluo to call, and the time was about 11:[-]." Qu Hedong said.

"At what point did you find Gao Long and Xiao Xiao at the exit?" Zhou Che asked again.

"The time shows around 11:15." Xia Yubing replied.

"The time turned backwards, and none of them appeared at the exit until 12:[-]," Zhou Che said.

Qu Hedong took out his mobile phone and called Luo Luo, then shook his head at everyone: "They didn't go to the restaurant either."

"In other words, they may still be in Canfang. It is also possible that they have gone out where we can't see." Xia Tong turned his head to look at Zhou Che.

Zhou Che squinted at him: "Are you talking about the car?" He used a declarative tone.

"Call the police, you may have a windfall." Xia Tong was noncommittal, but sighed after finishing speaking.

"There is something in the words." Zhou Che glanced at him coldly.

The atmosphere in the monitoring room was extremely tense because of the tension between the two, or Zhou Che's unilateral tension.The expressionless Xia Yubing and Qu Hedong looked at each other.

This Xia Tong is not simple.Xia Yubing's gaze fell on Xia Tong with a probing gaze.A young and handsome bun shop owner, a young and handsome old steamed bun shop owner who came to Yunshui Town for work-this matter itself is suspicious.And that steamed stuffed bun shop was considered an early shop, and it closed before 10:[-] in the morning. The day was so long, what was he doing the rest of the time?And he was pretending to be deaf and blind, so why did he expose himself to him when he went to buy breakfast?And looking at this person's food and clothing, he doesn't look like the owner of a steamed stuffed bun shop in a small place at all.Why did Zhou Che, a policeman from City B, come all the way to Yunshui Town?Why does Zhou Che, a rogue policeman who looks unreliable but is still conscientious and conscientious at work, pester him?How did he judge from the existing clues that they needed to call the police?What does the windfall in his mouth refer to?

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Che turned his head and took out his mobile phone with a blue face, dialed 110, and then specifically asked them to wear plain clothes and not drive a police car, so as not to startle the snake.Afterwards, they asked the staff to call out the managers on duty and asked them to do a good job of communicating with the police.

It was nearly two o'clock when the police arrived.The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties.He is overweight, with a beer belly, big ears, and a greasy look all over his body.Behind him was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, he looked dumbfounded, not like a member of the criminal investigation team.

"Hello, everyone. I am the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Yunshui Town. My surname is Chen." The middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a smile.

Chief of Criminal Investigation Department?Xia Yubing and Qu Hedong looked at each other, and they both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes. Things seemed to be developing in a direction they didn't want.

Zhou Che raised his eyebrows, reached out to him, and reported his origin: "Hello, Captain Chen, I am the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade in City B, surnamed Zhou, and I am here in Yunshui Town." Tourists, the four missing people happened to be some of our friends."

"It turns out that you are comrades from the urban area. It's a pleasure to meet you. You can come to our area for a tour, which makes people feel very prosperous..." Captain Chen said with a haha, and the two shook hands formally. .

"Captain Chen should have sent someone to block the entrance and exit of Canfang when he came, right? The person in charge here has also communicated." After some pleasantries, Zhou Che interrupted the other party while restraining his impatience. .

"Oh, this, I was negligent, I will arrange someone." Captain Chen said haha, then turned his face and said sternly: "Xiao Guo, why don't you notify them?"

"Ah? Notified our team? They—" Police Officer Guo, who was like a big boy, widened his eyes and was at a loss. You go and you go!"

Guo Liancheng obviously didn't understand what the leader was asking him to do, but seeing Team Chen's appearance, he could only leave in a daze.

Hearing this, Zhou Che raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people in front of him, and then at Xia Tong who was standing by the side leaning on the table and watching with cold eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible anger in his brows.Pretending to be a fool and coming to him?This shows that it doesn't cooperate?

"Hey! Wait," Zhou Che called to stop Guo Liancheng, "Isn't this just a matter of a phone call? There's no need for someone to come, Captain Chen?"

"Oh! It's true, look at my memory!" Captain Chen patted his head pretending to be annoyed and said, then took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Hello? Xiao Li? Hurry up and send someone to block the exits of Canfang .”

"Let them carefully check the vehicles coming in and out," Zhou Che said.

"Yes, yes, according to what Vice-Captain Zhou of the urban area of ​​City B said, let them carefully check the vehicles entering and leaving to see if there are any traces of suspected kidnappers and suspected victims." Captain Chen said proudly He babbled a lot to the people on the phone, and Xia Yubing, Qu and Dong, who were listening to their conversation, looked a little ugly.

"What can we do now?" Qu Hedong said.

Captain Chen, who hung up the phone, said with a smile, "It's best not to get involved with non-police personnel. We, the police, will handle the matter."

"Then where are your police officers now!" Xia Yu shouted in a cold voice, her slightly raised peach eyes were burning with anger.

"Eh? Little friend, what are you talking about? Do you look like a high school student or a college student?" Captain Chen started his long speech again with the attitude of an elder and the captain of the criminal investigation team.

Qu Hedong, who had a bad complexion, said from the side: "Is this how your police do things? What time is it now? There's still a lot of nonsense here."

"It would be great if your execution ability is as good as your ability to speak big words." Xia Yubing said sarcastically: "Now my friends are still missing, maybe they may be waiting for our rescue in some corner, Captain Chen, you What are you doing again?" He was really irritated when he heard this man talking, is this the captain of the criminal investigation department?Are you okay?There is no such thing for a vegetarian meal!

"If you don't let me go, I will go." Xia Yu said coldly.Seeing this, Qu Hedong also followed, saying that he was not disappointed with the policeman, it was definitely a lie, and he still had to rely on himself at the critical moment.

"I'll go too." Xia Tong looked at Xia Yubing and said to the people behind him, "I'll just pretend that I'm a temporary staff member of the police." After he finished speaking, he smiled at Zhou Che, the meaning of the smile was unclear.

Zhou Che glanced at Captain Chen who was choked by the hairless child, and said, "Captain Chen, I think I have to go first too." He was smiling, but he was cursing in his heart , Who the hell is this!

"Guo Liancheng, why are you still standing there stupidly? You still can't keep up!" Captain Chen shouted at Guo Liancheng.
