“We still can’t confirm the situation on Xiaotao’s side. Moreover, we’ve lost contact for less than 24 hours. It’s against the rules to rashly send the police.”
Feng Jing also wanted to mobilize the entire police force to find Yin Tao, but he couldn’t be sure if Yin Tao was in danger. As the captain of the detective team, Feng Jing couldn’t openly abuse his power.
“Go and see where Xiaotao’s phone is first. If Xiaotao isn’t at the scene, come to the suburbs immediately and meet me. If there’s really an emergency, ask for additional police support.”
Feng Jing could only make this arrangement. Ji Yu and Xia Jin could join in the search for Yin Tao because of their personal relationship, but if they mobilized too many police officers, it would definitely alarm the bureau chief. It would be hard to explain his action if it turned out that nothing had happened to Yin Tao at all.
Feng Jing, who was in the car, looked at Yin Tao’s location information on his phone as he started the car as quickly as possible.
Along the way, Feng Jing had been praying that nothing would happen to Yin Tao. Only when he heard Feng Ya say that Yin Tao had gone missing did Feng Jing realize how important Yin Tao was to him.
“Nothing will happen…” Feng Jing let out a long sigh and accelerated the car to the maximum speed.
…..
As the police station was not far from the alley where Yin Tao had been kidnapped, Ji Yu and Xia Jin quickly arrived at the location of Yin Tao’s mobile phone.
It was late at night and very few people passed by the alley. Further, most of the street lamps were already broken. Such an environment made it much more difficult for Xia Jin and Ji Yu to find the phone.
“Try calling Sister Xiaotao again.” Xia Jin turned off the flashlight and carefully listened for the ringtone of the mobile phone in the depths of the alley while checking if there was any light on the phone screen.
“Let’s go over there and take a look.” Xia Jin felt that there seemed to be a trace of the unique smell of rust in the air. He gestured for Ji Yu to follow him further in.
“Why is there blood here?” With the light from the flashlight, Ji Yu also noticed that there seemed to be blood stains on the cement floor of the alley that had yet to completely solidify.
Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, Xia Jin and Ji Yu became nervous. If these bloodstains were really left by Yin Tao, it meant that she must be seriously injured.
“It’s a little chaotic here, and the security isn’t good. It might be left behind from some hooligans’ fight.” Ji Yu seemed to be comforting Xia Jin, but he was actually trying his best to convince himself not to think of the worst case scenario.
“But looking at the state of these bloodstains, they should have been left behind today.” Xia Jin frowned. Although his tone was still considered calm, his heart was already in a mess.
“Let’s go over there and take a look.” Ji Yu pointed at a darker fork in the road. There were many miscellaneous items piled up there. There was a lot of renovation waste and broken furniture that had been abandoned.
“Xiao Xia, there’s a motorcycle here!” Ji Yu saw a relatively new motorcycle beside a large pile of waste. He recalled that Feng Jing had told him that Yin Tao had accidentally lost contact while chasing after a thief.
“The motorcycle shouldn’t be left here. Quick, call him again!” Xia Jin also realized that something was wrong. This was a relatively poor and remote area. It was impossible for anyone to throw away such a new motorcycle.
As the call was dialed, Xia Jin and Ji Yu held their breaths and quietly listened for the ringtone.
Due to the tension between the two of them, even the air had become much colder. Finally, after the two of them kept searching, the faint sound of a mobile phone vibrating came from a spot not far from the motorcycle.
“Found it!” Xia Jin finally found his phone in a large waste center.
“Brother Yu, this is Sister Xiaotao’s phone!” Xia Jin was a little excited when he saw Yin Tao’s phone. But he felt even more uneasy at the same time.
“Let’s go and find Captain Feng. Something must have happened to her.” Ji Yu looked at the shattered screen of Yin Tao’s mobile phone and his breathing became heavier.
Feng Jing only took less than 20 minutes for a journey that usually needed 30. Because he was a police officer, Feng Jing was very familiar with the terrain of City A. As he set off, he had already thought of the smoothest route.
As soon as he got out of the car, Feng Jing received a call from Ji Yu.
“Have you found the mobile phone?” Feng Jing asked directly after picking up the call.
“1 found it. There’s also a motorcycle nearby.” Ji Yu was a little hesitant, but after all, this matter concerned Yin Tao’s safety. In the end, he decided to tell Feng Jing what they had discovered..
