Chapter 319: Search and Rescue (1st Update)

Jiang Ke couldn't help but shudder, and his eyes wandered elsewhere.

"Jiang Ke." Zhou Cangbei's voice was not loud, but it was very stern.

Let Jiang Ke not dare not pass.

Waiting for people to come to him, Zhou Cangbei spoke: "Lin Mengmeng asked you how to go to the small shop under the mountain?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Ke could only answer stubbornly at this time, where did Lin Mengmeng go, she really didn't know. Seeing Zhou Cangbei's concern for Lin Mengmeng in the evening, she couldn't help but lie, she felt that Lin Mengmeng must have been out of the army, so she wanted Zhou Cangbei to see how unreliable Lin Mengmeng was.

Now that it's dark, Lin Mengmeng still hasn't come back, and she suddenly regrets lying.

In case Lin Mengmeng was snatched away by Sun Hongwu, she inadvertently became an accomplice.

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Cangbei's eyes: "I hope you can bear the consequences of lying." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Jiang Ke, although he was not as powerful as Zhou Cangnan, and he could see through people's inner thoughts. But when he participates in professional training, there is psychology among them, and when a person lies, his microscopic expressions reveal his inner thoughts.

For example, the current Jiang Ke clenched his hands into fists at his side, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he was lying at first glance.

Concubine Tao stood aside, listening to the conversation between Zhou Cangbei and Jiang Ke, and couldn't help but walk up to Jiang Ke: "You didn't speak well to Lin Mengmeng last time in the tomato field, is this afternoon the same as last time?" ”

Jiang Ke pursed his lips and didn't speak, looking at the distant mountains: "I don't know where Lin Mengmeng went." ”

Concubine Tao believed that Jiang Ke had lied, and she also believed that Lin Mengmeng's disappearance had nothing to do with her, because Jiang Ke was a member of the division, and she didn't have the ability to make a big living person disappear out of thin air.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the full moon is in the sky.

There were dots of light on the mountain, and it was the soldiers who were looking for Lin Mengmeng with flashlights.

After twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhou Cangbei couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked Concubine Tao to go to the room to rest, and he personally went up the mountain to find Lin Mengmeng.

Concubine Tao originally wanted to follow, but when she thought that she was not familiar with the mountain roads, she was not good at mountain climbing and exploring, and if she went, she would cause trouble to Zhou Cangbei, so she could only go back to the room and wait.

For convenience, Zhou Cangbei did not wear a military coat, only a fleece jacket under a camouflage uniform, and the night wind blew, and the cold wind was biting.

The mountains were even more cold and unusual, and the mountain wind was howling with a ghostly roar.

After Zhou Cangbei entered the mountain, he carefully searched for changes on the path with a flashlight.

If it was really Sun Hongwu who kidnapped Lin Mengmeng, he would definitely not take the path that people often pass by, and Sun Hongwu must be very familiar with the terrain of the back mountain, and he has been a soldier for many years, and his anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, and he will definitely not leave traces in the places he has walked.

Zhou Cangbei stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, thinking about the most likely place for Sun Hongwu to take Lin Mengmeng.

The mountains here are different from ordinary mountains, the camp is to the south, and the mountains are covered with green pines and cypresses. On the north side of the mountain, there is no grass and all gray-white rocks.

Then there is the vast Gobi Desert, which stretches for dozens of kilometers.

If Sun Hongwu took Lin Mengmeng into the Gobi Desert, the target would be too big and easy to be discovered.

So they must still be in the mountains.

Zhou Cangbei called out to a soldier: "Is there a water flow or a cave in the east-west direction?" ”

"Report to the division commander, there is a small river 20 kilometers to the east, and there are many caves and temporary wooden houses left by the herdsmen."

Zhou Cangbei called a few soldiers to follow him all the way to the east, and the rest of the people continued to disperse and search carefully.

Two kilometers to the east, it is out of the range of the army camp, no one walks all year round, and the forest is full of thick fallen leaves, and if you step on it, you will sink into it.

Zhou Cangbei squatted down and carefully illuminated the changes in the road surface with a flashlight.

The night was too dark, and the forest was even darker, and the five fingers were missing, which brought great difficulties to the search.

"Divisional commander, no footprints have been found in this area." Several fighters also searched carefully, and the pine and cypress leaves on the road were thick and there were no traces left by people or animals.

Zhou Cangbei frowned and looked at the pine leaves on the ground, his vision was trapped, so he could only continue to track forward for a while.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Zhou Cangbei and the others arrived at the river.

The line of sight was also wider, the creek was very narrow, and on both sides were wide wetlands, and the grass had withered because of the cold weather.

Finding people here makes it even more difficult.

Zhou Cangbei ordered a few soldiers to find a wooden house to rest first, and then look for it when it was dawn.

He stood in front of the wooden house and looked at the full moon in the sky, and inexplicably felt very familiar, this night was very similar to the night four and a half years ago, even the moon in the sky.

It was also so cold that night, and it was also in front of the mountain, and he watched the hostages fall from the mountain into the river below the cliff.

The morning sun is dewning, and the fog is shrouded.

Zhou Cangbei stood in the cold dew for half the night, his clothes were already wet with mist, and his indifferent eyebrows and eyes were covered with a layer of moisture.

He didn't realize it, he just hoped that the sun would come out, the fog would disperse, and Lin Mengmeng could be found smoothly.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the dense fog in the mountains cleared, and the vision became clear.

Zhou Cangbei divided the six warriors into two groups and scattered to search, not letting go of the caves, wooden houses, and bushes.

After combing it through, there is still nothing to gain.

Is it a mistake in judgment?

Zhou Cangbei stared ahead, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

On the ground three or four meters ahead, among the dark yellow dead grass, there were golden beads the size of soybeans scattered among them.

It is the same color as the surrounding weeds, and it is not easy to find without paying attention.

Zhou Cangbei squatted down, reached out and pinched the bead, his brows furrowed even tighter.

He also had one of these beads in his hand, which he had picked up in the mountains and forests four and a half years ago.

It seems that the person back then was really Lin Mengmeng.

"Send one person back to assemble the team, and the others will disperse a kilometer to continue the search." Zhou Cangbei held the golden bead in the palm of his hand, suppressed the anger in his heart, and commanded several soldiers.

Soon the troops gathered a battalion of officers and soldiers to come over and conduct a carpet search of the area.

Until noon, there was still nothing.

Sun Jian and Concubine Tao also followed.

Concubine Tao didn't sleep all night, and looked at Zhou Cangbei with red eyes: "Big brother, will the person who kidnapped Lin Mengmeng no longer be in this mountain?" ”

Zhou Cangbei looked at Sun Jian: "Is there any movement in Sun Hongwu's house?" ”

Sun Jian shook his head: "No, all the intersections have been blocked, unless they went down the mountain before yesterday evening to leave, or they are sure to still be in this mountain." ”

Zhou Cangbei clenched his fists, if Jiang Ke had seen Lin Mengmeng at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, then Sun Hongwu kidnapped Lin Mengmeng after three o'clock.

He took Lin Mengmeng with him, and he had to cover up the traces all the way, so he couldn't get here before dark.

"They're still in the mountains, look for them again! Even if you split the mountain, you have to find people today! Zhou Cangbei's voice was angry, I don't know if it was because he was angry with Sun Hongwu or because he was worried about Lin Mengmeng.

Concubine Tao's heart was in her throat, it was so cold at night, was Lin Mengmeng abused.
