Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

Wang Wanjuan's cell phone kept ringing along the way. People from all walks of life got his number from nowhere, asking about the situation and his location.

No one identified themselves, but he felt the majestic pressure through the phone.

"I want to call uncle..."

Cheng Jixin's voice was slightly choked. He had already passed the place where he met Xie Jianjia in the afternoon, but he found nothing. The further he went, the more panicked he became.

"The vice-principal has already called us, he should be here soon."

Finally, Wang Wanjuan added: "After all, your uncle is not your legal guardian. The vice-principal also beat your parents. They should be on their way here."

Hearing that his parents were coming, Cheng Jixin shivered uncontrollably.

"what is this?"

The voice of the patrolling police officer came from the front, and several people immediately stepped forward.

Cheng Jixin saw what the police officer was holding and said, "This is the bag Xie Jianjia is carrying today!"

Police officer: "Are you sure?"

Cheng Jixin nodded: "I'm sure, she... is different from other girls who like bright colors. She only likes black and white."

The four police officers were divided into two groups. Two were in front to explore the road, and the other two used lighting probes to carefully search the place where the schoolbag was found.

"It's so strange. Why is there only an empty schoolbag? What's in it?"

The police officer wondered, this group of students were on an autumn trip, so they must have brought snacks in their bags, and even if they were in trouble, they would have brought some water, but the muddy schoolbags were empty.

Cheng Jixin took a step forward and looked at the empty schoolbag. "No, when I saw her in the afternoon, her schoolbag looked bulging. There was definitely a lot stuffed in it."

Another police officer squatted down and illuminated the road and the hillsides on both sides with a light.

"There are only dense and messy footprints, and a little shoe print can be seen. This kind of pattern should be left by the mountain carriers who live on the top of the mountain."

Because a lot of wood and stones in the scenic area need to be transported by manpower, the profession of mountain lifters has emerged. They frequently go up and down the mountain, so the shoes are basically non-slip, wear-resistant and cheap Jiefang shoes, with easy to identify patterns.

The two police officers who were scouting the road in front called again.

"Is this a snack bag?"

Leave one officer to mark the spot while others come forward to check.

It is indeed a snack bag. All the snacks inside have been eaten, leaving only an empty shell like the schoolbag. Could it be that Xie Jianjia ate the snacks and left the bag here? Hope arose in everyone's heart.

The police officer’s next words broke everyone’s beautiful illusions.

"Be mentally prepared. This thing was not picked up on the road. It was hung on a tree branch, and -"

After speaking, he pointed to the cliff on the other side of the mountain road, "Have you seen it?"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

"The wind was very strong today, and a lot of garbage was blown to the gentler areas here. It would be unrealistic to arrange for people to search for the garbage based on its location."

Panyun Mountain is in the season for viewing fallen leaves. There are many schools like City No. 1 Middle School that arrange for students to climb the mountain. Everyone has brought snacks, and there are countless phenomena of littering everywhere. It is too difficult to use the method of searching for people through garbage bags. .

Wang Wanjuan sighed deeply, and the police officer made a second mark where the garbage bag was found.

As we were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, the police phone rang.

Police officer: "Director Liu."

The caller was Deputy Director Liu of Panyun Police Station.

Director Liu: "Where have you been?" Police Officer: "We'll reach the top of the mountain in about ten minutes."

Director Liu: "Are you taking the third branch?"

Police officer: "Yes."

Director Liu: "You four clumsy-eyed people! You don't even know when you have passed by. I took Xiao Zhang and the others behind you. About three-fifths of Panyun Mountain, I found something wrong. There was something wrong on the side of the steep slope. Traces of objects rolling down!”

The police officer scratched his head and said, "Director Liu, we really didn't see..."

Director Liu: "You four are taking the missing girl's class teacher and a boy to guide you, right? Send two to the top of the mountain to ask the mountain pickers, and the other two return the same way."

Police officer: "Copy that!"

After hanging up the phone, the police officer told the truth about the call.

There were traces of friction on the steep slope... Wang Wanjuan became increasingly uneasy, God, please don't let Xie Jianjia fall down.

……

On the other side, Dong Ming and Ye Xuechao met at the foot of Panyun Mountain.

Zhou Chunyan and Dong Ming were surprised for a moment when they saw the young man following Ye Xuechao and Ye Yong, but now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so they put their thoughts on hold for the time being.

The director of the Panyun Branch was communicating with the vice principal of the city's No. 1 Middle School. He saw two groups of people coming and informed several people of the latest progress.

"The people we sent found traces of objects rolling down a steep slope, but it was too dark and there were no lights, and the mountain lawn was thick and the light was not clearly illuminated. In addition, the mountaineering search team also found several things, except for a schoolbag. Except for the others, it is uncertain whether they are missing persons.”

Zhou Chunyan didn't care about anything else and rushed to the director and asked: "Where are the things? Let me see, she is my daughter, I can recognize everything!"

Seeing that she was agitated, the director quickly comforted her.

"Two police officers have been sent to bring him down, and the others continue to search."

Zhou Chunyan raised her head and glanced at the nearby mountains. The wind was howling in the dark night. The mountain seemed to be a man-eating monster, trying to swallow up all the remains of human flesh and blood.

"Da Ming, I, I'm flustered."

Dong Ming was also extremely anxious. He patted Zhou Chunyan on the shoulder, looked at the director and said, "We, as a group, will go up first. When we meet the police, we will verify whether the things belong to Jiajia."

The director stopped a few people with a look of embarrassment and pointed at the dotted Panyun Mountain.

"It's not that we deliberately stopped you from going up. It's just that there are too many people going up this mountain. The road is very narrow and it's night. If there is a stampede, the consequences will be disastrous."

Seeing the police stopping her, Zhou Chunyan looked at Dong Ming helplessly like an ant on a hot pot.

Ye Xuechao looked serious, "There are only five of us here, why don't we all go up?"

The director shook his head helplessly.

"None of you have professional equipment. All our bureau personnel have been sent to patrol the mountains and surrounding areas. It is absolutely impossible to let you act alone on the mountains. It is too dangerous. In addition to the main road, Panyun Mountain also has many forks. The same However, they are very narrow. In order to prevent night tourists from slipping in the air, special staff will clear people out from 5pm on the opening day. You are not professionals. I advise you not to go in hastily. If you get lost, it will seriously affect us. Search progress."

For this reason, a few people can only worry.

Within a few minutes, the chief's phone rang again.

"Old Qian, what's wrong?"

"Director, a shoe was found at the root of a tree on a slope halfway below the waist. After identification by the missing person's class teacher and classmates, the shoe was confirmed to belong to the missing person."
