Chapter Ninety-Five: Disappearing
They drove at almost maximum speed. Seeing that it was about to get dark, he was about to enter the mountains, and if he hadn't seen the van before this, Yu Xi was afraid that it would be really unlucky.
Francis' heart was pounding, his fingers were trembling almost uncontrollably, and his heart had been praying, he had never believed in this, but now he prayed silently, hoping that Yuxi would wait for him.
He was nervous when the phone rang suddenly, and he glanced at the car in front of him.
"Brother Dong, turn around, I saw the car, just drove past us. As soon as the words fell, they turned around almost at the same time, so fast that there was a screeching sound of brakes on the road.
Within minutes, they stopped the car.
Fang Jidong quickly got out of the car, dragged the driver from the car, and handed it to Lu Yuan. He shouted Yuxi's name and got into the van, where another man was lying in a seat, with a head wound, wrapped in a T-shirt and still oozing blood. Probably lost too much blood, and the person was not very conscious.
There was no shadow of Shen Yuxi inside, Fang Jidong's heart was cold, he got out of the car, and punched the person who was dragged down just now, and he used all his strength. Lu was far behind the man, and he even heard the sound of bones shattering.
The man screamed and fell to his knees with his face covered.
Fang Jidong couldn't stop, returned to the car, took out the gun in the locker, pointed it against the man's temple, and stuck the man's neck with one hand, the man couldn't breathe, and his face was bruised.
Francis's cold voice reached the man's ears like a ghost: "What about people, say it, I will spare your life, if you don't say it, I will let you go to Hades now." ”
The man knew who he was asking, but he was so pinched that he couldn't speak, and his hand was scratching in front of him. When Fang Jidong finally let go of his hand, the man breathed in fresh air again, and couldn't help but breathe heavily.
The man was frightened, but he didn't expect to provoke the big man, and his body trembled like a sieve. After a long while, he said in fear: "She...... She...... She jumped out of the car. ”
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Francis's heart was broken, and his head began to hurt without warning, and his temples thumped.
He almost rushed over again, slashing the man with a thousand knives, but he was tightly held by Lu Yuan. The man was afraid that Fang Jidong would really kill him, so he hurriedly said: "I gave her sleeping pills and tied her hands and feet, but I didn't expect her to wake up halfway, I don't know when she cut the rope, and smashed my eldest brother's head with a wrench in the rear compartment, she asked me to stop, I didn't stop, she jumped out of the car." It was all hillside, and I went down to look for it for a while, but my eldest brother's injuries were quite serious, so I turned around and went to the city to treat my eldest brother's injuries. ”
"Are you telling the truth?" Lu Yuan asked.
The man was beaten so hard that his face was already a little sunken, and he nodded hurriedly: "It's all the truth." The truth of the speech touched the nerves of the face, and it was about a pain, and the man's face twitched. is also a coward, tears and snot flowed down his face.
"Where did she jump in the car?"
"About three kilometres ahead, there's a speed limit sign, and there's a billboard. I've said everything, can you spare our brothers' lives, my brother will die if he doesn't go to the hospital. The man fell to his knees and cried.
Fang Jidong looked at the man coldly, then looked at Lu Yuan, turned around and got into the car.
Lu Yuan said to the policeman who followed: "Team Liu, these two people will be handed over to you first, we have to find someone first, and when we come back, we will make a handover." Also, leave a few brothers for us, we don't know this place after all. ”
"That's fine, but now it's getting dark, you better be careful. ”
When they got to the place where Yuxi jumped the car, the ravine was not very steep, but a little deep. They went down with flashlights, and there were rocks and weeds everywhere. I didn't go far before I found that the grass had indeed been crushed, and there were obvious blood stains in some places.
"That's right, Brother Dong, if we follow these seals, we will definitely be able to find Yuxi. ”
After looking for Yuxi for so long, he finally had some hope, and the heart that Fang Jidong had been carrying finally eased a little.
It's just that he didn't expect that until he reached the bottom of the ditch, he didn't see half a figure. They searched for the bottom of the ditch for half the night, and almost searched all over the place, but they didn't find any trace of Shen Yuxi.
Fang Jidong's head hurt again, and the flashlight in his hand was slammed against a stone. He had not eaten or drunk a day, and with the added fear of his heart, he looked haggard, pale, and his lips were dry, as if he had experienced a serious illness.
"Brother Dong, we've searched it all, it's too dark now, or we'll wait until tomorrow to find it. Lu Yuan was worried about Fang Jidong's situation and persuaded him.
"No, we can wait, Yuxi can't. ”
"Mr. Fang, I also think that it is better to wait until tomorrow, we are just working in vain now. There is a village not far ahead, let's go there to rest, and by the way, we can also inquire, that Miss Shen may have been rescued by the villagers, or maybe. A local police officer advised.
"Brother Dong, it's not impossible to do so. Besides, you haven't eaten for a day and a night, and if you collapse, how are you going to find Yuxi?"
They followed a path to the small village, which was probably a frequent tourist and there was a small inn at the entrance of the village.
The owner, a local villager, was sitting in the house napping. Seven or eight people came to the house, including the police, and he woke up in an instant.
"I'm in a serious business, and I'm not doing anything illegal. ”
"Don't be afraid, we're here to stay at the hotel. Lu Yuan said in a gentle tone.
"Oh, then I only have one room left here, but it's a bunk inside, do you live there?" the boss said slowly, looking them up and down.
"Can a few of us stay?"
"Yes, it can accommodate ten people. ”
"Okay, let's live. Besides, can you please ask the boss to prepare some food?"
"You'll have to wait a while, my wife is sleeping, I'll go and call her up, let her do it for you. However, you have to add money. ”
"Money is not an issue, bother you. ”
The proprietress was fast, but in an hour, the meal was served. A very simple porridge side dish, served with hot white steamed buns.
Everyone was busy in the middle of the night, and they didn't care about politeness and image, so they devoured it.
Fang Jidong had no appetite, only drank a bowl of porridge, and lay on the bed. His heart felt like he had been late, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe. The blood stains on the grass made him frightened, Yuxi must have been injured, I don't know if Yan is serious?Where did she go, what if she met a bad guy again?
She didn't know what kind of suffering she was suffering, how could he sleep peacefully?
He got up and walked out of the house, where the owner of the shop was sitting on a chair, as if he was not sleeping.
He walked over, the boss opened his eyes, he handed over a cigarette, and said, "Ask you something?"
The boss took the cigarette and took a look at it in the dim light, and it turned out to be the Yellow Crane Tower. He had never smoked such a good cigarette, and he had only seen it at the village chief's house before.
Fang Jidong wanted to light a cigarette for him, but he didn't let him, took it under his nose and sniffed it again, and said happily: "You ask, I must know everything and say everything." ”
He took out another photo of Yuxi from his pocket and said, "This girl fell down the hillside over there, we didn't find anyone, this is the closest to the hillside, I wonder if she will come to the village, I don't know if you have seen it?"
The boss looked at it seriously for a while, and said: "There should be no, my place is a necessary place to enter the village, there are some people coming, how many come, I know best, I have never seen this girl." ”
Endless disappointment rose in Fang Jidong's heart, could it be that something went wrong, why did Shen Yuxi disappear out of thin air again.
"However, there is another village to the south of us, and I will ask you tomorrow if you have gone there?" said the boss after a moment's thought.
Fang Jidong took out the whole box of cigarettes from his pocket, stuffed it into the boss, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you then." ”
The boss took it with a smile and said very happily: "Our two villages often have tourists coming, and everyone is extremely hospitable. Unlike those mountainous areas in the east, they are poor and backward, and the people are fierce, and they always do some improper things. If this girl falls here, you can rest assured that nothing will happen to you. ”
Fang Jidong smiled reluctantly, this is fine.
Fang Jidong was almost half asleep all night, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to see Yuxi, covered in blood, and looked at him in despair and cried, tears like a broken embankment. His liver and intestines were broken, and his heart ached.
Before dawn, Fang Jidong got up. The air in the mountain village was very fresh and refreshing, but his mood was extremely heavy. If you can't find Yuxi today, I'm afraid something really happened.
The proprietress was making breakfast in the kitchen, and the smell of rice in the room was bursting. When the boss saw him come out, he smiled and handed him a cigarette, which didn't seem to be the cigarette that Francis gave him last night, like an inferior cigarette rolled by himself.
Fang Jidong waved his hand and refused, and the boss was a little embarrassed, and took out the box from last night's pocket . Fang Jidong shook his head: "That's for you, you can keep it for yourself." ”
The boss was not very reluctant, but when he heard him say this, he immediately put it in his pocket like a baby.
Lu Yuan and the policemen got up one after another, and they had breakfast together. While eating, the boss came over and said, "I just called a friend in the next village, saying that I haven't seen a strange girl in the village, and I haven't heard anyone say it." ”
Fang Jidong was overwhelmed by disappointment, he could no longer sit still, he couldn't take care of breakfast, and he got up to leave.
"Brother Dong, don't worry, after eating, let's go down the hill to look for it. It was so dark last night that we missed something. Lu Yuan said.
"I'll go first, and you'll go after you've eaten. ”
They searched the hillside again, and finally found Shen Yuxi's bracelet next to a stone, and there were dried blood stains on the chain.
"So Yuxi really fell here, but the person is gone, presumably someone must have taken her away. But where will it be taken?" Lu Yuan said.
Fang Jidong clutched the bracelet tightly, frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time said, "There are only two villages here, she must still be in one of them, we have to ask again." ”
They divided into two groups and went to two villages to ask questions. In the end, he returned in defeat, almost everyone in the village said that they had never seen Shen Yuxi, and such a big living person suddenly evaporated from the world. Fang Jidong didn't even have a temper anymore, he didn't know what was wrong, obviously Shen Yuxi should be here, but he couldn't find it. Despair swept over him like he had never felt before, and he felt tired.
