Chapter 47 The Child Is Lost
A few sneaky shadows lit a lighter in the darkness.

"Boss, if we just leave this child here, will anyone find out?"

The speaker was a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

There was a cigarette in his mouth, and he looked worried at the child who was slowly sinking.

"What are you afraid of? With the support from above, we can't control anything even if we have evidence."

The other strong man looked hard and snorted.

"Who told them to offend Secretary Lu? If the superiors find out, it will cause trouble."

After saying these words, the last trace of worry in Skinny Monkey's heart was offset.

He was right. Secretary Lu was a favorite in the eyes of his superiors.In the remote Qinghe Village, there is a local hegemon.

As soon as Secretary Lu was dealt with, all the disgraceful things he had done were brought to light. What happened to this child was also a warning to that Commissioner Laoshizi.

The two finished smoking and heard a noise not far away.I know someone is here.Not daring to stay any longer, he ran away along the path.

The team responsible for the search paused here and found nothing unusual, so they had to leave.

On the other side, Dong Jiao didn't know what was happening here.

She and Du Zhong searched separately. They even searched Xiao Er's secret base before, but still couldn't find anyone.

"That's really weird!" Dong Jiao muttered to herself, looking at the satellite navigation in her hand.

Every child in the orphanage has a chip implanted in their wrist before reaching adulthood.

The purpose is to prevent children from getting lost or being taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions in society. This is a kind of protection for children.

With the existence of this chip, this child will have a location no matter where he goes.

But today, the monitor seemed to be broken and there was no display at all.

Dong Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad guess.

The possibility that the satellite is broken is very small, so the only possibility is that something really happened to the waiter again.

"How's it going? Is there any news?" Dong Jiao's expression became extremely grim, and she happened to meet Du Zhong who had returned from searching for a while. Both of them had the same solemn expression.

Shaking her head, Dong Jiao clasped her hands together tightly.

"Still no leads."

"I guess it's the man named Lu who did it!"

As soon as these words came out, Eucommia ulmoides also gritted its teeth.

In such a remote mountainous area, strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes.

Even if their people deal with the criminals immediately, there will still be mistakes.

The Lu family's comrades counterattacked, but they had no choice.

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die!" Dong Jiao's eyes tightened.

If they don't miss the best 24 hours for rescue, it means they still have a chance.

"Qinghe Village is located between mountains. If they really want to discard the corpses and eliminate traces, they can disappear without anyone noticing at any time."

Du Zhong frowned and analyzed the current situation.

"If they just want to demonstrate to us, they will definitely put the child in a conspicuous place where they can be easily found."

In the darkness, the two people suddenly looked at each other and read each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.

The obvious yet hidden place…

"Xiao Xiwei!" The two of them said almost in unison.That place is the intersection with the creek mouth. Because of the terrain and soil, that area is densely covered with jungle and filled with swamps.

If an adult falls into it, he will suffocate to death in half a day.

And because the place is very dangerous, there are dedicated people responsible for cleaning up the swamp every day.

It is to be able to find the body of the person as soon as possible, or to rescue the person in distress.

"Will it be there?" Dong Jiao was a little unsure.

"Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

We have reached this point. We have searched everywhere we should and should not, and we have even lost the satellite navigation and positioning.

The worst outcome is this.

Dong Jiao pursed her lips and said nothing.

Even if the two reached an agreement, they rushed to the swamp with the life-saving robot.

The closer she got to the swamp, the more uneasy Dong Jiao felt in her heart. When she saw the two rows of fresh footprints on the shore clearly, the uneasy feeling was amplified to the extreme.

The strong light rod instantly pierced the darkness, and the surrounding area shone like daylight.

Dong Jiao paused for a long time before she got used to the bright light.

Eucommia ulmoides directed the rescue robot to pull out all the unsightly weeds nearby. When the site in front of it was completely cleared, the surrounding area became empty.

A familiar thin shadow suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"Little Er!" Dong Jiao's pupils shrank and she was about to rush forward.

Thanks to the sharp eyesight and quick hands of Eucommia ulmoides next to him, he was able to stop him.

"Don't go there, this is a swamp. If you fall in, you won't be able to rescue the waiter, but you will also cause trouble for everyone."

Dong Jiao calmed herself down, gritted her teeth and took a deep breath before suppressing the shock in her heart.

Xiao Er was lying on his back on the swamp. Except for his head and half of his chest, other parts of his body had sunk in.

His eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't know if he had stopped breathing.

The rescue robot has already gone down.

This is due to their own machines and their heavy bodies. One or two of them were stuck in the quagmire and could not get out. They could only make some sharp and piercing alarm sounds.

In such a place, neither manpower nor science and technology can defeat nature.

Seeing Xiao Er falling further and further, Dong Jiao couldn't bear it any longer.

"I have learned some ways to survive in the swamp." Dong Jiao said calmly, staring at Eucommia ulmoides, "I am light, and there are branches and wooden boards of larger trees nearby."

"Tie the rope around my waist, and I will slide down slowly. I will be able to catch Xiaoer and rescue him."

"You!" Eucommia saw the determination in her eyes, and her black eyes suddenly trembled.

"It's too late to think too much. Xiao Er won't be able to survive the arrival of the rescuers, and you and I are Xiao Er's only life-saving straw now!"

Du Zhong understood what he meant. At the critical moment of life and death, it was the best solution for Dong Jiao to make such a decision.

"Okay!" Nodding heavily, Eucommia ulmoides reached out and took off the rescue rope from the last robot. He pulled it in his hand. After confirming that there was no danger, he put one end firmly in the palm of his hand and put the other end in his hand. On Dong Jiao's waist.

"No matter what, don't be brave. If you encounter danger or find yourself sinking, you must tell me."

Before going down, Eucommia ulmoides took a deep look at her and warned her.

Dong Jiao nodded, then lifted up a huge piece of bark from a century-old tree nearby, used a hard iron rod as a support, made a simple raft, lay on it, and slowly moved down.
