Chapter 288: She Must Be Here

What's going on?

The siren of the fire truck approached, and almost everyone standing in front of the mountain road was attracted by the sound, but when they looked around, not to mention the fire, there was not even smoke.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Xu Chengyan's mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was a call from a superior leader.

He answered the phone and listened to the voice on the other end of the line with a serious face.

"Yes, I see. ”

After a few words, Xu Chengyan hung up the phone, the expression on his face slightly stiff.

"Boss, what's wrong? Is there any news?" Pei Pei on the side furrowed his brows and couldn't wait to ask.

Zhigao and Xiaotiao next to him also followed suit.

Although Qiu Lan has not worked in the forensic department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau for two months, they all like her very much after being contacted in the case.

After hearing the news of her disappearance, everyone's hearts hung in the air.

"It's not Dr. Qiu's business, it's the fire truck's business, just now Director Pan said that thirty kilometers away from our investigation, there is a ravine, there is a fire there, because the terrain is not good, the fire truck is huge, so let us lead the way. Xu Chengyan frowned and repeated what he heard on the phone.

As soon as they finished speaking, a fire truck stopped in front of them.

"Excuse me, are you police officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau?" The thick-eyed fire captain jumped out of the fire truck and landed firmly in front of Xu Chengyan.

"Yes, I just received an order to help you clear the way in front, by the way, what is the situation on the other side of the fire, how can I let you go? Shouldn't you go to the nearest fire station?" Xu Chengyan twisted his brows, and a trace of doubt crossed his eyes.

"There were very few people living there, and it was a large reed lake, which was a humid area, so it should be difficult to start a fire, so it was not built. The fire brigade pursed his lips and said in a majestic voice, "However, ten minutes ago, we received a call from the residents to call the police, speaking of the fire, we are also very puzzled, it stands to reason that this day is not hot, and the sun is not enough to cause a natural fire." ”

He shook his head and whispered, "Let's go to the scene and investigate." ”

Li Shanghan, who was standing on the side, lowered his eyes, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he suddenly thought about his words in his heart.

No man's land, reed lake, inexplicable fire?

Could this be a signal?

And that place was thirty kilometers away from their investigation, and it happened to be the same road.

"Is there such a coincidence?" Li Shanghan muttered, his eyes exuding a cold light, "Officer Xu, I'll go with you?"

As long as there is any suspicion, he will not let it go.

Listening to Li Shanghan's words, Xu Chengyan stared at him meaningfully, "Okay, let's get in the car, let's rush over as soon as possible." ”

The mighty convoy drove into the muddy mountain road.

The mountain road was difficult to navigate, and it took them an hour to walk the 30-kilometer distance.

Turning over the last hill, Li Shanghan saw a large reed lake, and could vaguely smell a choking smell of smoke, but he didn't see a little fire.

On the winding mountain road, they drove for about ten minutes, and only saw the fire.

Li Shanghan frowned, his face heavy.

Nearly ten kilometres long and wide, this reed lake resembles a huge pool between two high mountains.

If Qiu Lan was really trapped here, she would definitely not be able to escape without the help of others, and even if she barely found her way in this reed lake, she would not be able to climb the steep hill at all.

What awaits her may be just a dead end.

Suddenly, Li Shanghan's heart was more entangled.

He wished Qiu Lan was here, but he was afraid to see her here, because the fire here had burned for about two kilometers, and the whole sky was covered with gray-black smoke.

If he was really here, he didn't know if she was okay now, but if she wasn't here, then where would he go to her?

On the shore of Reed Lake, three fire trucks lined up one after another, two stationed at both ends of the fire to cut the fire, and the other drove to the center and broke off.

Li Shanghan couldn't wait to find Qiu Lan, so he directly followed the second car to the middle of the most severe fire, and Xu Chengyan and Qi Mo were also worried about her, and followed here.

On the shore, firefighters hurriedly opened the fire hose and poured water directly into the lake to extinguish the fire.

The high-pressure water gun sprayed strongly, and the splash of white flowers covered the burning flames little by little, which effectively extinguished the fires.

Fortunately, this is a reed lake, the reeds are flammable, but after wetting, they are isolated from the fire, and it is easy to extinguish, and this is a lake, which can directly take water and recycle, but the scope here is too wide, and the process of extinguishing the fire lasted for a long time.

Li Shanghan, who was standing on the shore, stared at the scene ahead, and his footsteps continued to move forward with the shrinking of the fire.

Suddenly, he stepped on a stiff object under his feet, he thought it was a stone and didn't care, but he unintentionally lowered his eyes to see that it was a mobile phone.

He leaned over and picked up the phone, blew away the dust on it, and when he looked closely, a cold light immediately burst out of his dark eyes.

This is Qiu Lan's mobile phone!

"Qiu Lan is here, she must be here!" Li Shanghan frowned, his tone cold and hard.

Listening to his voice, Xu Chengyan and Qi Mo, who were not far away, rushed over one after another and stood in front of him.

"This, this is Xiaolan's mobile phone. Qi Mo bit his lip and took out the mobile phone in his bag, "This pendant is the same as mine, we bought it together." ”

"Xiao Lan, is Xiao Lan in this sea of fire?" she glanced at the burning reeds next to her in horror, her heart suddenly tightened, and her voice trembled, "No, no, Xiao Lan must be fine." ”

Xu Chengyan, who was frowning, was extremely heavy in his heart, and he couldn't say a word, but turned around and walked to the side of the fire chief, hurriedly admonished a few words, and then found a few more police officers.

Not knowing what he said, the officers turned and drove away the way they came.

"Qiu Lan. Li Shanghan clenched his mobile phone, his eyebrows were deep, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the fire.

He looked forward to finding the figure, but there was nothing but a sea of fire in front of him.

After another half hour, the firefighting work finally made progress, and the fire in the neighboring area was finally extinguished, and only the blackened reed poles remained.

"Quick, put down the fireboat, search for the flames that have not been extinguished, and then look for a woman in her twenties, she is the forensic doctor of the police station, just now Officer Xu specifically said, she is very likely to be here, everyone must be careful." The fire captain roared with a loudspeaker, and the firefighters around him immediately did the same.

"I'll go too. Li Shanghan's eyes sank, and he strode over, completely ignoring the danger of a resurgence of fire, and got on a boat without hesitation.
