Hu Haidong used the town police station's phone to call Xiao Weiguo's office.
Unexpectedly, I was immediately scolded.
Hu Haidong, who was completely unaware of what was going on, was stunned for several seconds, not understanding why Xiao Weiguo was so angry.
Upon hearing Hu Haidong's voice, Xiao Weiguo quickly explained.
"I'm so sorry, it's Captain Hu. I thought it was a spam call."
"Captain Hu, where are you now? How's the case over there? What about Jiao Bai?"
Xiao Weiguo was excited and asked a series of questions.
Knowing it was just a misunderstanding, and since they were all so familiar with each other, Hu Haidong wouldn't hold it against him. So he explained the situation to him in detail.
Finally, he said.
"Chairman Xiao, I've already informed Director Liu about the situation. His suggestion is to come immediately and coordinate with the local public security department to send as many people as possible to search for Comrade Jiao Bai. What do you think, Chairman Xiao?"
At this point, Xiao Weiguo could no longer remain seated. He considered for a moment and then spoke.
"Brother Hu, wait for me in town. I'll contact Director Liu right away and we'll go together. Agree to any requests the local search and rescue personnel make. I'm willing to pay any price to find them. Understand?"
"By the way, Chairman Xiao, there's one more thing."
At the end of the phone call, Hu Haidong remembered what Wei Changqing had told him.
"Wei Yulan is dead. Wei Changqing asked Zhang Damao to come back and see her one last time. Let's discuss this with Zhang Damao and try our best to get him to come."
Xiao Weiguo thought about the whole situation and wasn't sure if Zhang Damao could go back to check. So he agreed to take Zhang Damao with him later. If Zhang Damao wanted to go back, he could; if not, he could stay in town and help coordinate the search and rescue efforts, since he was the person in charge and more familiar with the situation.
After hanging up with Hu Haidong, he first called Liu Changhe.
The phone rang only once before Liu Changhe answered it.
He already knew that Xiao Weiguo would contact him and had been waiting for Xiao Weiguo's call.
The two didn't say much on the phone, only agreeing to leave now and meet on the way. Then they hung up.
Then he called his father-in-law, Liu Erzhu, and told him to make sure to take some men to keep an eye on those bastards and not let a single one of them escape, so he could deal with them when he got back.
He also instructed Liu Erzhu to send a few security guards in another car to follow him. This was so that it would be easier to get things done, and that someone could run errands for him.
Before leaving, he went to Liu Ye's office again to tell her that he was going out for a while.
Under Liu Ye's nagging instructions, Xiao Weiguo found Zhang Damao. Without having time to explain the situation, he pulled him into the car and drove straight to Zhang Damao's hometown.
Zhang Damao was completely baffled by him. On the way, he couldn't help but ask him why.
Xiao Weiguo repeated to Zhang Damao what Hu Haidong had told him on the phone.
Then I waited quietly for his reply.
Throughout the entire process, Zhang Damao's expression was unpredictable, and Xiao Weiguo couldn't discern what he was thinking.
"Well? Now that everything is clear and Wei Yulan is dead, are you going back or going back?"
Zhang Damao stared at the road ahead of the car for a long time before speaking.
"I should go back and see her. No matter what, she saved my parents. Even the deepest hatred can be forgiven this time. I should go back and give her a proper status."
"but......"
"That's all. When I go back this time, I'll bring my parents here. They can live with me from now on. Mr. Xiao, you don't mind, do you?"
Zhang Damao still harbored resentment towards the Wei family.
He will never forget the suffering he endured during those two months living in the Wei family's house.
Even now, seven or eight months later, he still wakes up from nightmares, drenched in sweat. It's fair to say that Wei Yulan has become a recurring nightmare for him. He even avoids going home during the Chinese New Year.
He was afraid to face that face again, a face that made him wish he were dead.
But to his surprise, this selfish and disgusting woman made so many sacrifices for his family, and even lost her own life in the end.
The person is dead, what grudges can't be let go of? How can he hold a grudge against someone who has already passed away, someone who saved his parents with their life?
Zhang Damao remained silent throughout the journey.
After meeting up with Liu Changhe's car, the two didn't have time to say much. Xiao Weiguo followed behind the two police cars all the way to Zhang Damao's hometown, a small town.
After getting off the bus, Zhang Damao said goodbye to Xiao Weiguo and walked into the mountains alone.
Xiao Weiguo then followed Liu Changhe into the town's police station.
When they arrived, Hu Haidong and Zhang Shan were still there.
The search and rescue operation is expected to cover a large area, so manpower is being mobilized from all sides.
This kind of work is not something everyone can do. Without any basic knowledge of wilderness survival and without proper training, going into the mountains will not only be a burden but will also be of no help.
Therefore, the town simply cannot send many people; it needs the cooperation of the county above and even other surrounding counties and cities to gather enough manpower.
Furthermore, such a large-scale operation requires a considerable amount of logistical supplies.
In this poor and remote town, it's questionable whether they can even provide these supplies.
In short, the operation is still being organized.
The head of the town's police station was a middle-aged veteran policeman named Li Zhichao.
Since the incident occurred on their territory, they were the first to contribute manpower, resources, and manpower.
