At first, no one believed this claim.
Eight tourists—six men and two women—from the smog-ridden country, the flag-white country, the country that chose sides, and the beautiful country, have mysteriously disappeared...
This is a fact that no one would believe!
Putting everything else aside, just looking at her fighting skills, this seemingly delicate and weak girl doesn't look like someone who could take down six foreign men!
But if you say this matter has nothing to do with her...
Unfortunately, she was the only survivor.
Just as the police were conducting a full investigation into the tour guide, a new report came in.
This time, it was a four-person expedition team from Russia that went hiking in the Shun Ning Mountain area, which they had only entered at the beginning of the year. However, they lost contact with the staff who were responsible for receiving them outside shortly after they entered.
The staff did not dare to be careless and quickly contacted people to search the mountains. They only found a few backpacks scattered in a clearing in the jungle, but they did not see a single person from the Russian country!
"In order to avoid causing panic, both of these matters have been suppressed by the higher-ups! But now the pressure is all on our police station!"
We mobilized our entire team and practically searched every inch of the land in those two incident locations, but we still couldn't find a single trace!
Those foreigners vanished into thin air, without a trace! It's truly bizarre!
Huo Yuankai felt extremely overwhelmed, so when he saw Song Mengmeng, who might be able to help him, he didn't hide anything and simply told the whole story to this very capable young girl recommended by Hu Yue.
Since you're asking for help, it's best to be as honest as possible.
Huo Yuankai was well aware of this.
Song Mengmeng tapped her finger lightly on the armrest of the seat, and after a long while, she spoke softly, "Would it be convenient for you to take us to the scene of the crime?"
She didn't think the request was unreasonable.
After all, Hu Yue had just texted her, hoping she could lend a hand and help Huo Yuankai, who was already in a terrible predicament.
However, you can't just listen to a couple of sentences and draw a conclusion about whether someone needs help.
To truly understand the cause and truth of the matter, it's best to go to the scene and see for yourself.
Huo Yuankai had already intended to ask Song Mengmeng for help, so when he heard her say this, he was naturally more than happy to do so and readily agreed, saying that he would personally drive Song Mengmeng and the others to see the scene later.
Now, the most urgent task is naturally to fulfill our duty as hosts, settle Song Mengmeng and the others into their accommodations, and then invite them out for a welcome dinner.
During the banquet, the purpose of Song Mengmeng and her group's visit was naturally mentioned.
Despite being busy with official duties recently, Huo Yuankai clearly did not ignore this matter, but took it very seriously and investigated it for them.
"To be honest, it's incredibly difficult to investigate things that happened over fifty years ago now. To put it bluntly, back then, Baiyue City was just a small market town hidden in the mountains!"
As Huo Yuankai spoke, he handed the file bag he had been holding when he left to Song Mengmeng: "Here are some things I found for you these past few days after I got the news. Take a look first. There are many cases of trafficking in women from previous years that were not filed in the archives. This is all I could find."
However, based on the clues you provided, I think those kidnappers must be quite familiar with the villages in the area, so I dug into that area and also dug up some old cases and related leads for you.
"We should visit the villages along those routes more often; we're bound to get some clues."
Although the amount of information Huo Yuankai provided was substantial, it was organized very neatly and appeared effortless. Song Mengmeng quickly scanned it, then handed the documents to Yan Di, who was sitting next to her: "Take a look!"
Huo Yuankai had only been eating with Song Mengmeng and the others for half the meal when he received several phone calls urging him to come back. Remembering Song Mengmeng's earlier request to see the scene, Huo Yuankai decided to suggest, "Hey, didn't you say you wanted to see the scene? We're going into the mountains again later, do you want to come along?!"
"Yes!" Song Mengmeng nodded. It was rare to encounter a colleague who was so efficient, so she naturally cooperated fully.
Actually, everything else was fine, but she was really curious about the owner of that smell.
Hearing Song Mengmeng nod, Huo Yuankai's smile deepened, and the group ate much faster.
After finishing their meal, Huo Yuankai quickly drove the way, leading Song Mengmeng and the others onto the road out of the city, and soon they were on a winding mountain road.
After driving at high speed on the winding mountain road for about an hour, the jungle on both sides of the road became denser and denser, and the jagged rocks on both sides made people who had never traveled on such mountain roads subconsciously feel a little scared.
However, Song Mengmeng was not afraid of anything. She leaned against the window with great interest, watching the scenery rushing by outside, and seemed to have a feeling of not wanting to leave.
"Once this matter is settled, I'll take you inside for a stroll!" Of course, Emperor Yan didn't miss the longing in the little guy's eyes. Little cubs always have an inexplicable fascination with places like mountains and forests.
Seeing Song Mengmeng's longing expression, the first thing that came to the mind of the divine beasts in the Heavenly Realm must have mistreated her! Otherwise, the little one wouldn't have shown such anticipation and longing just from seeing a forest.
"We'll see when the time comes!" Song Mengmeng turned back to look at Yan Di and smiled, not showing too much disappointment. She snuggled closer to Yan Di, her eyes filled with a hint of flattery, her purpose was self-evident.
"What's wrong?" Yan Di pretended not to see the little scheme in the little one's eyes, and calmly watched her pretend to be confused, cooperating with her to continue the performance.
"If, I mean if I can handle the demons we're encountering this time, could you please not interfere?!" Song Mengmeng reached out and tugged at Yan Di's sleeve, slowly shaking it as she cautiously made her request.
She still remembered the time she went to see Shuten-dōji to save Li Ruyi. They had agreed to go together and come back together, but this person in front of her was wicked. He knocked her unconscious when they arrived at their destination!
When she woke up, it was all over! They went together and came back to a lonely end!
