_2 Lin Yuan had been missing for a while, and the last data exchange between her mobile phone and the communication base station in the town was at approximately 11:54 p.m.
After that, no base station received any data signal from her phone, which ant that the phone was either destroyed or had been manually turned off.
A perfectly healthy person, teaching at a rural village school in the depths of the mountains, had suddenly disappeared in broad daylight.
Who had kidnapped her?
Why wasn’t there a single eyewitness?
The culprit must have used a vehicle, but what make and model, and where they were heading…
Everything was unknown.
Upon receiving such news, Fang Qingya was completely bewildered.
What to do?
At the scene of the cri, the search and rescue efforts had already ceased.
The several large mountains nearby had been searched completely, yet no one was found.
Police and search dogs from different places and teams had all been brought in, but they stopped at the sa spot on a highway and would go no further.
If this had happened with just one dog, it might have been a mistake.
But these were police dogs from various departnts of the province, city, and county, as well as search dogs from teams used for mine disasters and earthquake rescues.
They had arrived in succession and could not possibly have conspired in secret.
In any case.
It was certain that Lin Yuan had been kidnapped and had been missing for over ten hours.
From that village school where the incident occurred, it was a half-hour drive to the town, three hours to the county seat, and eight hours to the provincial city…
If the abductors acted swiftly and efficiently, by now she might have already been sold off to another province.
Even if she had not been taken out of the local city or county and had been hidden in another village deep in the old Lin’s forest, she would still be very difficult to find.
The vast mountains, rolling and undulating.
The saying ‘the mountains look close but are far to walk’ was not just talk.
What looks like two nearby mountains, to actually get from the top of one to the other without any road but by foot, would take at least one or two days of climbing.
In such a rugged wilderness, how easy could it be to find soone who had been deliberately abducted?
Moreover, the fact that soone could silently take away Lin Yuan without alerting anyone or leaving any traces…
It clearly showed that the culprits must have scoped out the area and observed in advance.
They were familiar with the school and the daily routines of the many teachers who ca to assist, as well as the topography surrounding the school.
Their actions were undoubtedly precise and ruthless, leaving Lin Yuan no chance to scream for help or to struggle and leave traces for criminal investigators to find.
The entire process from action to extraction must have been very fast, taking very little ti.
The shorter the ti, the lower the risk of exposure, which also explained that the perpetrators were definitely not acting alone.
Even though Lin Yuan was delicate and slender, she would have weighed at least several tens of kilograms.
If one person lurked near the school, waiting for the opportune mont when Lin Yuan was alone, suddenly drugged her to knock her out, and then carried her over the back mountains and down the slope to the roadside halfway up the hill…
The descent and the trek through the woods would have sapped a lot of energy and slowed the movents considerably.
Had it been two people working together, the job would have been done much more quickly and easily.
Unfortunately…
The local mountainous area in October was already in the dry season with little rain and a lot of wind.
The ground was dry and hard.
Furthermore, after Lin Yuan’s disappearance, teachers and volunteers at the school were all very anxious and searched everywhere.
Even if there were footprints, they would have been destroyed by now.
In this case.
How the hell could they continue the search?
Where to find Lin Yuan who had been abducted?
Her social circle was very simple, usually just the school, her ho, the welfare ho, an everyday routine.
During weekdays she was at the school during the day, at ho in the evening, and at the welfare ho or doing other part-ti activities on the weekends.
Economically very independent, she would utilize her talent with traditional musical instrunts like the zither and guqin, along with her decent singing voice, to earn money by participating in activities.
Bai Fengling often arranged acting jobs for her as well.
With such a simple social circle, and being an orphan.
What vendettas or debt disputes could there be?
But the question was…
How did such a professional burglar co to kidnap Lin Yuan?
At the ti of the incident, there were other female teachers in the school, but compared to them, she was indeed more beautiful and charming.
Since the “Poverty Area Study Aid Journey” was a charity event, the volunteers who signed up and were selected were naturally teachers.
They taught various subjects, including Chinese, math, English, and physical education, while Lin Yuan was chosen as an ‘art teacher.’
For each event, they would go to a specific remote and backward school and stay for a month.
The selected teachers would receive notifications before departure.
Informing them of the event’s ti and place, as well as various precautions.
For example, they were advised to bring extra warm clothes as the areas were remote and underdeveloped.
The advance notice was also for the convenience of these active-duty teachers so they could arrange their schedules early on.
Like Lin Yuan, when she received the notice, she negotiated with other teachers at her school to exchange and substitute classes, and she also spent quite so ti preparing luggage.
From warm clothes to common dications, from cell phones and computers to toys and teaching materials, she packed several large boxes…
Such an event had already been successfully held three tis before.
Each ti, the Auxiliary Business Association’s event official website would feature special reports and announce the next event’s ti and location, as well as the list of volunteer teachers who were successfully selected, for the convenience of volunteers who wished to apply.
In any case.
Lin Yuan’s participation in the “Poverty Area Study Aid Journey” was no secret.
If soone had been plotting against her, knowing she would be coming to this poor and remote village school to volunteer, and followed her all the way here, lurking in secret to observe for a few days before suddenly kidnapping her…
This hypothesis was not impossible.
But the problem was, Lin Yuan, who was always gentle, humble, and polite, had no disputes or grudges with anyone.
Who would do such a thing?
…
Around 3 a.m.
Fang Qingya received news that the various search and rescue teams had begun to withdraw.
Since it was confird that Lin Yuan had been abducted, there was no point in continuing the search throughout the mountains.
The local police departnt had already classified the case as a criminal one and would soon issue a reward notice both locally and online.
Anyone who could provide a clue would be handsoly rewarded.
They implented strict controls at local bus stations, train stations, and highway toll stations.
They kept a close watch on her mobile phone number and bank accounts.
However, with such results, Fang Qingya could only offer a bitter smile, speechless.
Abducted by professional burglars with a strong awareness of anti-investigation tactics.
Wouldn’t they be aware and guard against police investigation thods?
If they could abduct and drive her away, how could they possibly take a bus or a train?
More than ten hours had passed, and roadblocks and checks were undoubtedly too late.
Where then could this stunningly beautiful woman have been taken?
