The fire in the cabin grew stronger, and the heat wave rushed towards Lin Zhiyi.
Fang Sisi screamed in pain.
Jian Xi shouted from outside the door, "Auntie, the wall is about to collapse!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Sisi glanced back and seemed to understand something.
Her eyes were red as she looked at Lin Zhiyi, crying bitterly.
"It’s not me, it’s really not me."
"The cemetery, the cemetery..."
Finishing her words, she abruptly let go of her hand.
Due to inertia, Lin Zhiyi stumbled backward and fell out of the cabin.
Jian Xi rushed over, "Auntie, there’s noise around."
Lin Zhiyi regained her senses, recalling the shadow that had knocked them unconscious.
She quickly climbed up and led Jian Xi into the forest.
Under the cover of weeds, Lin Zhiyi saw several shadows emerge from the dark.
The leading figure pressed down on his hat brim and glanced at the small wooden cabin.
"The people have escaped, put out the fire quickly, don’t attract attention, Lin Zhiyi shouldn’t have gone far, resolve it on the spot when caught."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi covered Jian Xi’s mouth and slowly retreated towards the dense forest.
Little did she know, once in the dense forest, the signal from her locator disappeared.
...
Gong Chen and Captain Xing arrived at the foot of the mountain based on Lin Zhiyi’s signal source.
At this moment, the weather turned cloudy, the mountain misted over, looking like rain was imminent.
As Gong Chen prepared to ascend the mountain, Captain Xing stopped him.
"Third Young Master, this mountain needs a local guide, otherwise it’s easy to get lost."
"Is that so?"
Gong Chen raised his eyes.
A buzzing sound arose, and over a dozen drones flew directly over everyone’s head.
Captain Xing pursed his lips, "Pretend I didn’t say anything."
"These are the newest drones, considered my sponsorship to your police team, I have only one request..."
"Lin Zhiyi must be okay, I understand, I understand."
Captain Xing looked up admiringly at his, no, their newest drones.
With Lin Zhiyi having a signal source, coupled with the drones, it’s simply unbeatable.
Before Captain Xing’s smile could spread, a colleague ran over.
"Captain, the signal is lost."
"..."
Captain Xing’s eyes widened, fearing the worst.
He walked to the front of the car and unfolded the map.
With years of experience in handling cases, Fang Sisi choosing this location must have a reason.
"Half of this mountain is used by villagers below to plant trees, the other half remains undeveloped."
"Around the plantation area, there are villagers’ rest cabins, it’s not the busy season, villagers only go up once every two weeks, it’s the best hiding spot, if anything happens, the mountain fog conceals, making it hard to detect."
Upon hearing this, Gong Chen looked at the people controlling the drones, pointing to one of the villagers’ rest cabins.
They immediately manipulated the drones to fly towards the cabin.
Gong Chen gazed at the foggy mountain, his expression stern.
Where are you, Lin Zhiyi?
He forced himself to calm down, aimlessly rushing into the mountain would just waste time and energy, even alerting the enemy.
"Captain Xing, how is the investigation I asked you to do?"
Captain Xing turned to Gong Chen, his expression suddenly serious.
"This lawyer is indeed unremarkable domestically, but he studied psychology abroad, even following a hypnosis master for a long time, no wonder Fang Sisi’s mental state is increasingly unstable, we treat her while he gives Fang Sisi psychological suggestions."
"Fang Sisi was only recently rescued and has been under your watch for so long, do you think she could know about such hidden places?" Gong Chen retorted.
"The lawyer!" Captain Xing blurted out, "No wonder Fang Sisi escaped so smoothly, turns out there was a lawyer helping."
"Fang Sisi and the twins have no enmity." Gong Chen reminded.
"I’ll immediately have colleagues investigate the lawyer’s connection with the Jiang Family."
Captain Xing turned and waved to his colleague.
At this time, the drone operators ran over.
"A wooden cabin has burn marks, seems like someone is trapped inside..."
Before finishing his sentence, Gong Chen was already rushing over.
Captain Xing shouted loudly, "Why are you standing there? One team guard the surroundings, another team go up with me."
"Yes!"
...
On the mountain.
Gong Chen didn’t stop for a moment and finally arrived at the cabin.
What met his eyes was the half-burned cabin.
