Chapter 22: Arrival at the Camp
Miss Zhou drove the way, she had Mr. Zhou's route map and knew the route Mr. Zhou was taking, so she directly led the team and followed Mr. Zhou's route, which was also arranged by Jiang Ningyu, he wanted to know Mr. Zhou's route, mainly to see if there was anyone behind Mr. Zhou.
It is difficult to find traces outside the mountain, but it is different after entering the mountain, it is easy to leave traces after entering the mountain, Jiang Ningyu can know whether Mr. Zhou is being followed, which is also a basis for him to judge whether Mr. Zhou has been kidnapped.
Before entering the mountain, everyone brought their own equipment, and Miss Zhou also followed her own navigation and began to look for Mr. Zhou's walking route.
Although three days have passed, there are no people in the mountain, and the footprints and various traces left are very clear, and the security guards that Miss Zhou is looking for also have scouts from the background, and it is easy to find the traces of Mr. Zhou's advance.
After finding the traces, Jiang Ningyu asked everyone to disperse and began to check if there were any traces of other people's haunts, but everyone looked around, but they found nothing, only traces of some small animals.
"Let's go, follow the footprints, it's easy to find Mr. Zhou's campsite, even if they are really missing, there won't be no clues." Jiang Ningyu said to Miss Zhou.
Miss Zhou looked at the navigation in her hand and asked, "Shall we follow the footprints?" Don't go straight to camp? ”
"Well, what if you see other people's traces on the road, Mr. Zhou's disappearance is likely to be a kidnapping case, and it is best to find the traces as soon as possible." Jiang Ningyu said what he thought.
"Okay, follow Mr. Jiang's method, everyone will move forward according to the original route, pay attention to the traces on the road, and report immediately if you find anything." Miss Zhou brought a lot of walkie-talkies, one for each person, which could be used for communication.
So all the people in the security team were scattered, all of them were from the army, not to mention anything else, it was still possible to find a little footprint traces.
But everyone went all the way, until they came to the first camp and didn't find anything abnormal, Miss Zhou looked at the sky, it was almost dark, so let everyone camp and rest, such a big mountain, not a day can be found.
Everyone is a warrior, and it is still very professional to build a camp.
Jiang Ningyu took Miss Zhou to look around, then pointed to the map and said, "This is our location, this is the location of Mr. Zhou going up the mountain, where is their destination?" ”
Miss Zhou thought for a while and said, "It should be in Devil Crying Ridge, this is it, the positioning coordinates that my brother sent me are near here." ”
Ghost Cry Ridge is a mountain range halfway up the Lingyun Mountain, where you can often hear the sound of ghosts crying wolves, according to the investigation of "experts", it is because of the sound of the wind, the rapid wind blows through the mountains, causing such a sound of ghosts crying wolves among the rocks.
"Halfway up the mountain? Brother Zhou, they didn't go to the top of the mountain? Jiang Ningyu asked.
"They're on the top of the mountain, but their camp is near Devil's Cry Ridge, and the top of the mountain is windy, so it's not suitable for camping." Ms. Zhou explained.
"I know, I'll talk about it when I get to the camp tomorrow, I haven't found anything yet." It's okay to let Jiang Ningyu investigate anything, but it's not good for camping, Mr. Zhou thinks about it very comprehensively, the camp is halfway up the mountain, they can go wherever they want every day, and it's easier to go down the mountain and return.
After walking around the neighborhood, they didn't find anything, so Jiang Ningyu and the others returned to the camp, where someone had already lit a fire and was cooking.
Everyone began to rest after eating, and tomorrow they still need to go up the mountain to find someone, so everyone rests and sleeps early.
The next morning, around five o'clock, everyone got up and began to pack their things.
Jiang Ningyu looked at the weather forecast, fortunately, it was sunny in the past few days, it would not rain, and the traces on the mountain would not be washed away by the rain, which was very convenient for them to find someone.
So they continued to follow Mr. Zhou's route up the mountain, and found nothing along the way, only traces of Mr. Zhou and their ascent up the mountain.
In the afternoon, they came to Mr. Zhou's camp, where there was no one in the whole camp, and seven tents were erected alone.
Before everyone entered the camp, they were stopped by Jiang Ningyu, and he turned back to Miss Zhou and said, "Seven tents? Isn't there just six of them? ”
"I don't know, huh? My brother said there were only six of them. Miss Zhou was also surprised to see this.
Jiang Ningyu took a closer look and said: "Everyone is camped on the flat ground next to it, don't enter the camp, I need to investigate and collect evidence." ”
After saying that, Jiang Ningyu went to Mr. Zhou's camp, and the others heard that Jiang Ningyu did not follow him, but went to camp next to him.
Jiang Ningyu cautiously came to Mr. Zhou's camp, from the outside, the whole camp was very calm, except for one person, there was nothing abnormal, Jiang Ningyu walked around the camp first, there were many footprints around, Jiang Ningyu carefully distinguished, it looked like it should be a very ordinary footprint, not scattered, it looks like it should be Mr. Zhou's footprints left by their usual movement.
There is no problem with the footprints, so Jiang Ningyu opened a tent, there was a big backpack inside, as well as sleeping bags, food, it looked neat, Jiang Ningyu looked around one tent after another, six of the tents were about the same, and the other tents were not what they thought at the beginning, there was one more person, and there were some equipment in it, what kind of solar panels, water heaters, condensers and other equipment, and they should be afraid of damage when placed in the tent.
Jiang Ningyu looked around the entire camp, there was nothing abnormal, it seemed that Mr. Zhou and they were not missing in the camp, but disappeared when they went out.
Jiang Ningyu only found a satellite phone in the camp, but it was not Mr. Zhou's, and it seemed that someone else had left it behind.
When I opened the phone, there were two missed calls on it, and I checked it, they were all the same number, and they should be the same as Miss Zhou, and the family should contact them.
With the phone in hand, Jiang Ningyu returned to the camp, and Miss Zhou hurriedly greeted him when she saw him coming back.
"How?"
"There are no clues, Mr. Zhou, they should not have disappeared in the camp, I checked, everything is normal in the camp, but the people are missing, it looks like they should have disappeared when they left the camp to go to other places." Jiang Ningyu said his judgment.
"This, what to do?" Miss Zhou was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of footprints around the camp, they should have been to some places in the past two days, we can look for them along the footprints they have walked, I will go to take pictures later, compare the footprints, and see if there are other people's footprints." Jiang Ningyu comforted.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Jiang, if there is anything you need my help with, just say." Miss Zhou said.
"Yes, I will, I'll take pictures first." After Jiang Ningyu finished speaking, he took the camera and left.
