Chapter 52
When Li Yang went downstairs, he heard Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian say:
“This is good.”
“Changbai Mountain is also good.”
"It's too far. I think the tour groups in the neighboring city are also good. You can enjoy the snow by the river and soak in hot springs in the mountains..."
Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian were browsing through these dazzling projects.
The winter for the Khans is fried chicken, beer and romance, while the blood awakening for the Chinese is an eternal farming game: "Wow! In the neighboring city, you can go ice fishing and pick cream strawberries in the greenhouse! I want to go there!" Lu Xiaoguo slammed the table.
Wu Qian looked at the page on her phone and nodded: "Yes, it's good."
Lu Xiaoguo was very motivated to have fun, so he immediately added the contact person on the travel platform and asked for a plan and itinerary.
Lu Xiaoguo forwarded it to Zhou Du and urged, "Leader, please check if it works!"
Zhou Du opened the file, glanced at it, hummed, and agreed.
Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian high-fived, picked up Li Dongqiang who was passing by and gave him a mua, "Thank you, our dear boss!"
Li Dongqiang covered his face in confusion, "Why did you thank Xiaozhou for kissing me?"
Lu Xiaoguo kissed him a few more times: "I want to kiss you! I want to kiss you! You smell so good, little winter melon!" He sucked Li Dongqiang like a pervert.
In short, the team building for this semester was quickly finalized.
The location was chosen, and it was time. Lu Xiaoguo would mutter to himself as he thought, "It's almost December, why don't we wait until New Year's Day? I saw the description above saying that there are still strawberries in January."
"Will there be too much traffic?" Wu Qian.
"Let it be congested. There is always traffic jam now." Lu Xiaoguo retorted.
Liang Tang and other colleagues who were listening in also agreed: "Okay, then January."
"Okay." Although it was basically Lu Xiaoguo's own opinion, Lu Xiaoguo felt that this was a decision made by everyone.
As the concurrently financial manager of the kindergarten, she allocated funds to herself, ordered the number of teaching staff for the entire kindergarten, and leaned back in her chair with satisfaction.
Li Yang didn't come back late last night, but he definitely didn't go to bed early either, so he ordered a cup of coffee made by Zhou Du, took a sip, and frowned.
Zhou Du asked: "Bitter?"
Li Yang nodded.
"Triple concentrated, what do you say?"
Li Yang regretted it, but drank it all without wasting it.
Zhou Du made another cup and asked teasingly, "Do you want more?"
Li Yang thanks you for the invitation.
While eating a sandwich for breakfast, Li Yang received a message and took a look at it.
It was sent by Taoist Principal Ying Yi: the principal of Kangnan Primary School asked him to find Li Yang.
President Kang Nan has several former alumni who are now working in universities in Nanjiang University Town, and asked him if he knew any great people.
Because they encountered some strange incidents in college, they reported the case, but after the investigation they remained silent and said that they had arranged for brothers from other departments to take over.
However, the presidents of several universities felt uneasy. After hearing the experience shared by the principal of Kangnan Primary School, they all asked him to recommend Li Yang to them.
But Principal Kangnan did not add Li Yang's contact information, so he could only find Director Ying Yi, who then found Li Yang.
Li Yang asked the old Taoist priest for the address, only to see that Taoist priest Ying Yi circled the names of several schools in the university town. From the map, they were all adjacent campuses.
In response to a video call request from a Taoist priest, Li Yang walked to a quiet place and answered the call.
The old Taoist priest's white beard moved slightly as he opened his mouth and explained what happened in the four universities.
More than 70 students disappeared within three days. Surveillance footage showed that these students had never left the campus, which means they disappeared within the school.
Then today, two people appeared. They were the people who had been missing before. When they were found, they had mentally collapsed and kept hurting themselves. They had been sent to the hospital for treatment.
"I know the special department that the case was transferred to, and I believe that it was a reasonable transfer. But several principals don't know the reason, so they don't understand and are not reassured. They are afraid that without an answer, the more than 70 students may not come back, or if they do come back, some will go crazy or get injured."
"Have you been to those four schools?" Li Yang asked.
"I went there...but I didn't see any problem." Director Ying Yi spoke the truth.
Li Yang had never been to the site, so he had no way of analyzing the situation. He could only ask, "So they want me to find the missing students?"
Ying Yidao nodded, "Yes."
Li Yang was not in a hurry to refuse, nor was he in a hurry to agree. "I can only go to the university town first to take a look, and then decide whether to take this case based on my ability."
"My friend, you are too modest." Although Master Yingyi didn't know Li Yang very well, he also felt that this self-humility was a bit inappropriate.
What Li Yang thought was very simple.
More than seventy people were missing, and if he could solve it, he would.
If he can't solve the problem, he won't try to force it and waste his prime time.
I went upstairs to change out of my pajamas and packed my equipment. When I went downstairs, I saw Zhou Du taking the car keys from the cabinet in the entrance hall.
"Do you want a car?" Li Yang stopped at the stairs.
"Aren't we going to the university town? Let's go together."
"University town?! I want to go there too! I want to go to Nancheng University!" Lu Xiaoguo, who had been thinking about going to Nancheng University to see the snow, jumped out without saying a word when he heard the key words, and called his relatives and friends: "Wu Qian, let's go together!"
Wu Qian: "Okay."
"Then I want to go too!" Li Dongqiang said.
Li Yang replied to Li Dongqiang: "There is a treasure in the kindergarten. If you find it before I come back, you will be rewarded."
“Yeah!”
Li Dongqiang was sent away.
At the same time, Zhou Du replied to Lu Xiaoguo: "We are on official business."
Lu Xiaoguo blinked his eyes at first to think and buffer his brain CPU, then blinked again, this time with understanding, and said: "Oh, I know, you guys do your work, we are just hitchhiking, just drop us off at the university town, and we will stay with you on the way."
Li Yang went down the stairs and came to Zhou Du. Zhou Du had already thought it over and agreed with them, "Change your clothes quickly. You only have to wait for three minutes."
Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian went upstairs to change their clothes.
Li Yang and Zhou Du walked out together first, and on the way they explained their tasks to each other.
"How did you know I was going to the university town?"
"Master Yingyi asked me if you were free before he came to see you, and told me about the university town."
"Then why are you going there too?"
"Unfortunately, I was appointed as a consultant for this missing case by the special task force ten minutes ago." The two of them did not hold an umbrella, and snowflakes fell on their shoulders. "So, we have to work together for this operation."
In this case, information sharing is necessary, and the task force's information will always be more effective.
Li Yang: "What did you find out?"
"I've read the latest files today, and there's still no clue." Zhou Du handed him the car keys and went to the car to sweep the snow off the hood.
Li Yang started the car and used the wipers to clean the windshield, leaving a visible area.
Li Yang agreed to drive, closed the door, adjusted the seat, and fastened his seat belt. Zhou Du saw this and quickly got on the passenger seat. The warm temperature melted the snow on their coats, soaking the shoulders of their coats and drying them quickly.
The two continued with the previous topic.
“It’s not clear how serious the danger is because the number of missing people keeps increasing.”
"Has it been increasing?" Li Yang repeated.
Zhou Du nodded slightly. "The missing persons file updated today shows that five more people have lost contact since yesterday."
"So when we get to the scene, please follow closely."
Li Yang hummed, "I will cooperate and not cause any trouble."
The rear door was opened and cold wind blew in. The two girls got in and closed the door. The car heater quickly dispelled the cold.
Li Yang turned up the heating a little more.
"It's freezing cold." Lu Xiaoguo breathed out, and stretched out his hand to warm himself in the gap between the front seats. "Xiao Li, let's go!"
Li Yang couldn't drive fast today because the first snow fell just right yesterday and today is the weekend. Too many people drove with their families or friends to various mountains and lakes. The highways and city roads were full of cars. There were a lot of drivers who drove more recklessly and did not follow the rules than Li Yang. If there were no traffic police standing guard at the two intersections, these roads would be paralyzed.
When they arrived at the university town, Li Yang still sent the two girls to the main gate of Nanjing University and let them go.
Thinking about the four schools that Nanda University is close to, Li Yang said, "Be careful, don't go to remote places with few people."
Lu Xiaoguo nodded and got off the car with Wu Qian.
Three minutes later, Li Yang drove the SUV to the gate of Qingjiang University, and Zhou Du said, "Drive in."
Li Yang did as he was told and was stopped by the security guard, but he was stopped by a young man who had been waiting at the school gate for a long time.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou." The young man handed over a work badge through the lowered car window, which read 'Special Consultant of the 11.29 Task Force'.
He pointed out another road to Li Yang and asked him to drive there.
When Li Yang arrived at the location, it was the student dormitory area. There were three buildings nearby, two for girls and one for boys. There were two police cars guarding the downstairs, flashing red lights.
The police officers assisting in the investigation were taking statements, and there was a long line of people waiting to give their statements.
They were all roommates of the missing person, and there were also many people watching.
They were worried about their classmates and were also afraid that they would disappear and face unknown dangers.
People are in panic.
Zhou Du and Li Yang got off the car, and a group of people in casual clothes came over. One of them, a man in a brown leather jacket, patted Zhou Du on the shoulder warmly: "Old Zhou, long time no see!"
"It's been a long time." Zhou Du half-turned his body and introduced: "This is Captain Ma, you can call him Captain Ma."
Li Yang raised his eyelids slightly and said indifferently: "Hello."
"Why are you bringing a child with you to investigate a case?" Ma Dui said in a careless and teasing tone.
Li Yang showed no expression.
Zhou Du was a little surprised. The surprise was that he was not like when he first came to the kindergarten, he was thorny with everyone, either impatient, lazy, or got angry without caring about other people's lives, especially about age.
Li Yang was a little unhappy, but not very unhappy. He was just used to it and even acted like a bad person: I am just younger than all of you and can live a few years longer, so what?
In addition, since the person was someone Zhou Du knew, he could tell that the other party's ridicule was not malicious.
In order not to embarrass Zhou Du, he pretended not to hear it.
"This is Li Yang, our school bus driver. He was invited by the presidents of four universities."
"Hello, Driver Xiao Li." The members of the task force came forward and shook hands with Li Yang and Zhou Du.
The presidents of the four universities arrived late and were stunned when they saw Li Yang.
So small… ?
It was the president of Qingjiang University who spoke first: "You are the Master Li that Master Yingyi mentioned, right? Nice to meet you. Please follow us to the office to discuss the situation in detail."
The other three principals also came to their senses. Even though they couldn't trust him completely because of his age, he was invited by them after all. How could they not embarrass him?
"Yes, have a cup of tea and listen to us first."
Li Yang's dark eyes swept over the four people, "Going to the office won't help us find the missing students."
The four principals looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "That's right, I'm afraid we can't tell you anything useful."
They are now like headless flies stuck on the glass, unable to find the exit. They just want to hear if Li Yang has noticed anything wrong and if he has any solutions after coming here.
But Li Yang made it clear that he also wanted to analyze the specific situation.
The situation is not concrete at the moment, so we can only investigate with the task force.
