Sheng An Ning was not in the mood to attend class. She waited anxiously until noon and called again, but still no one answered.
She couldn't sit still any longer, so she hung up the phone and said to Lin Wanyin, "No, I need to take a leave to go to Nanshan Town. If Xiaowan is fine, I'll take it as a vacation."
Lin Wanyin still disagreed with Sheng Anning going to see Mu Xiaowan: "I have no objection to you going to see Mu Xiaowan, but you can't go alone. What if it's really like in your dream? Wouldn't it be buy one get one free? You'll lose another. Go back and ask Zhou Shixun if he agrees. Unless he agrees, he will go with you."
"Otherwise, if something happens to you, what do you want us to do? Think about Shi Xun and the three children."
Sheng An Ning suddenly calmed down, thinking about Zhou Shixun and the three children, and how Zhou Shixun survived the time when she was unconscious.
He exhaled and said, "Then I'll go back and discuss it with Zhou Shixun, or find Chaoyang to help. She knows a lot of people in Jing City, and maybe she knows someone in Nanshan."
He hurriedly asked for leave and went straight to Zhou Chaoyang's unit to find her.
Zhou Chaoyang was slacking off at work. Ever since Lu Changfeng left, her attitude towards work had become even less positive. Finally, she applied to move to the archives room, a less busy department where she could slack off openly.
Basically I spend the day with a cup of tea and a newspaper.
When she heard Sheng An Ning was looking for her, she had an excuse to go out. She looked at Sheng An Ning happily and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here? When you left this morning, Mom asked if you had encountered something."
After saying that, he realized that Sheng Anning's face looked very bad, and he exclaimed: "Could something really have happened?"
Sheng Anning was also very anxious: "I dreamed that Xiao Wan was in a bad condition, trapped in a cave and covered in injuries. I called the unit over there, but couldn't get through, so I was very worried. Do you know anyone over there? Can you ask them to help look for her?"
Zhou Chaoyang felt that it was not a big deal and comforted Sheng Anning: "Sister-in-law, it's okay. Dreams are just dreams. I often dream that I am dead, floating in the air and watching my body being eaten by wolves. Moreover, I also dreamed that my second brother died, and he was fine."
After saying that, he patted Sheng Anning's shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, these are not a big deal, don't take it to heart."
"I couldn't get through to Xiaowan and his friends on the phone. It might be because of the strong winds in the mountains recently, and the line there was cut off, so they couldn't be reconnected in time."
Sheng Anning was not so optimistic: "But the transfer operator didn't say there was a problem with the line over there."
Zhou Chaoyang was very calm: "They may not know everything. I will ask someone later to see if I can contact them."
Sheng Anning was very anxious: "Hurry up, I'm really worried about Xiao Wan."
She always felt that her dreams sometimes carried a sense of foreboding.
Seeing Sheng Anning's look, Zhou Chaoyang also became nervous: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this, you make me scared, and besides, Xiaowan went there with her classmates and teachers. If something happens, the school will definitely know about it, and they will call the police immediately."
However, he also took Sheng An Ning's words to heart.
After returning to the unit, I asked people around about the situation of Nanshan Appraisal Center.
Fortunately, many of my comrades were assigned to the public security system after retiring from the army, so the investigation was quick.
Finally, they contacted the Nanshan Police Station, who then went directly to the Identification Center to inquire about Mu Xiaowan's situation. As a result, they brought back news that was unclear whether it was good or bad.
Mu Xiaowan took sick leave and hasn't reported for work yet.
Zhou Chaoyang realized the seriousness of the problem. As far as she knew, Mu Xiaowan had been gone for four or five days. How come she hadn't reached Nanshan yet?
Without thinking too much, he asked for leave and went back to find Sheng An Ning.
Sheng An Ning, who was already worried at home, couldn't sit still after hearing the news Zhou Chaoyang brought back: "No, we have to go find Xiao Wan. Wait for your eldest brother to come back and ask him what to do."
Her mother was right. If she went there, not only would she not be able to find Mu Xiaowan, she would also not be able to rescue Mu Xiaowan, and she might even die in the end.
What would Zhou Shixun do if she had another accident?
Zhou Chaoyang was really anxious at this moment: "I'll go too. I just don't believe that a living person can just disappear like this."
After Zhou Shixun came back, Sheng Anning briefly explained the situation: "Now it seems that the school thinks she took a leave of absence, and Xiaowan has no relatives, so no one would know even if she is missing. We have to look for her quickly."
Zhou Shixun was much calmer: "We need to determine whether Mu Xiaowan has left Beijing City. Where did she disappear?"
Sheng An Ning slapped her forehead. How could she have overlooked such an important matter? If something had already happened in Jing City, what was the point of them going to Nanshan Town?
Zhong Wenqing listened to the conversation of the three children and understood some of it: "You mean Xiao Wan is missing? How could she disappear? Did she offend someone? Her relatives are always watching her house. Could it be that they did it?"
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "This possibility is very low. If they could get the house by killing Xiaowan, they would have done it a long time ago, instead of waiting until Mu Xiaowan is this old to find a way."
"It means that although her relatives want the house, they don't have the courage to do it too drastically. After all, they are afraid of losing themselves in the end."
Sheng An Ning thought it made sense: "I think so too, and Xiao Wan's relatives haven't made trouble with her for a long time."
It's not worth killing someone just for two houses.
Zhou Shixun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the station tomorrow and ask. If you have a photo of Mu Xiaowan, ask the driver and the conductor on the Nanshan Line. After all, Mu Xiaowan is very recognizable."
Sheng An Ning and Zhou Chaoyang nodded. Mu Xiaowan was indeed a very eye-catching presence in the crowd and it was easy for her to leave an impression on people.
The next morning, Zhou Chaoyang and Sheng Anning both took leave, and then went to the station with Mu Xiaowan's photo to inquire.
Zhou Shixun also reminded them that no matter what they discovered, they should come back to discuss it with him, and they must not make decisions on their own, and must not easily listen to others and take them to find someone.
Sheng An Ning and Zhou Chaoyang originally thought that it would take some effort to find out some information.
Unexpectedly, after asking two or three people, a driver stared at the photo for a long time and said excitedly: "I have seen this girl. She was on my bus six days ago. We found a body halfway. She got off the bus with a man and said they wanted to stay to protect the scene."
"Then I'll call the local police."
Sheng Anning glanced at Zhou Chaoyang: "Man? What kind of man?"
