Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh emergency situation
Xue Chen heard the news about the missing child in the car just now, but he was not sure about the details.
"I saw in the news that one of the two children was from a local rural area and the other was visiting relatives from other provinces. The local child took the other child to play outside in the snow. Later, both children were nowhere to be found. According to the scene on the snow
The footprints left behind by the two children may have gone into the mountains." Jiang Huilan felt the same, with a worried look on her face. If her second girl was lost, she couldn't imagine it.
Xue Chen glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was just after twelve o'clock, and the dark time in Haicheng City was around six o'clock. If they couldn't find it before six o'clock, the two children would be in bad luck.
Without it, it would be impossible to spend the night on the mountain in this kind of weather, and search and rescue at night would be even more difficult.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Chen, who was feeding the golden eagle beef strips, suddenly saw a police car parked at the door of the villa, and four police officers got out from below, two men and two women, one of whom was from the criminal police team.
Squadron leader Liu Qingshuang.
The four police officers all wore extra thick clothes and had hats on their heads, but they seemed to have been outside for a long time, and their faces were a little blue from the cold.
Xue Chen went over and opened the door.
Liu Qingshuang blinked her eyes, gasped a little, and said: "Xue Chen, my colleagues and I came to your place to keep warm and take a rest, don't you mind."
"Come in." Xue Chen nodded.
Liu Qingshuang and her colleagues were the first to walk into the yard after nodding. When they saw the golden eagle standing on the snow chewing beef, they were obviously surprised: "Xue Chen, is this?"
"Oh, I raised it." Xue Chen walked over and picked up the empty plate, touched the golden eagle's feathers, and watched it spread its wings and soar into the sky amid the flying snowflakes.
"This is a golden eagle, right? It's a nationally protected animal." Liu Qingshuang squinted her eyes and whispered with emotion.
Xue Chen thought he hadn't heard anything yet and ignored it.
Liu Qingshuang and three other police officers entered the living room, and they all immediately collapsed on the sofa, breathing heavily. Jiang Huilan saw several people shivering from the cold, and hurriedly brought them some ginger syrup.
four people.
Looking at the four people drinking ginger syrup, Xue Chen's thoughts moved and he sat aside and guessed: "Are you... searching for the missing child?"
Liu Qingshuang put down the bowl in her hand, sighed, and nodded solemnly: "Not only us, the entire Haicheng City police stations and branches at all levels dispatched more than 300 police officers to the mountains to search for the two missing children. The four of us
I was assigned to a mountain next to the lotus pond, and I have been searching the mountain for six hours. I really couldn’t stand it any longer, so I just...sigh."
"Do you have any clues?" Xue Chen asked next.
The other three police officers all shook their heads with gloomy expressions. Liu Qingshuang said helplessly: "Today's weather is too bad, which has brought many difficulties to the search and rescue. Even the search and rescue dogs were injured because the heavy snow covered the breath of the two children.
It is difficult to play its role. We haven't found it yet. We have found the children's footprints, but they were covered by the newly fallen snow not long after we followed them. It is certain that the two children did enter the mountains, and
The direction I'm walking in seems to be lost."
"It's more than ten miles away from Jinshui Village. How can two children walk here?" Xue Chen hesitated.
Another female police officer spoke up and said in a very professional manner: "Yes! There are many cases of disappearances. The missing people often keep moving because they are nervous and disoriented. When they are found, they are far away from the missing people."
It’s very common for the starting point to be more than ten kilometers away.”
"Can we find it? There are more than three hundred of you, so it should be fine." Jiang Huilan couldn't help but ask with concern.
Liu Qingshuang glanced out the window and saw that the sky, which was originally gloomy because of the snow, was now even darker. She said a little feebly: "It's not certain whether we can find it. There are more than three hundred people, which sounds like a lot, but Jinshui Village
The surrounding mountains and forests are one after another. There are more than 20 named mountains alone, and there are even more small hills without names. More than 300 people can't completely cover these places. Can they be found? No one can now.
ensure."
After resting for about fifteen minutes, Liu Qingshuang was the first to stand up and prepare to leave. Although the four of them had not recovered, time was running out.
Xue Chen sent the four people out, and it happened that Xiao Jin came back from outside again. He looked around with keen eagle eyes and squatted on the rockery in front of the door. There was a bloody dead rabbit under his paws, and it was still hot.
Angry, it was obvious that he had just been killed.
Xue Chen happily walked over and took the dead rabbit over, and then the golden eagle spread its wings and flew away again.
"Is it hunting for you?" Liu Qingshuang asked in surprise.
"Uh, yes." Xue Chen squinted at the golden eagle flying away. Xiao Jin would eat beef every day, and he would catch a rabbit for him every day or two.
, or the speckled pheasants and wild birds came back, which made him feel very happy. He felt that the children he had raised since childhood could not only live independently, but also make money to support the family.
"What a smart golden eagle." Liu Qingshuang also raised her head and looked at Xiao Jin flying in the sky. Suddenly, her eyes trembled and she blurted out, "Xue Chen, can you help us search for the missing golden eagle?"
Two children?”
"Ah, what did you say?" Xue Chen looked at Liu Qingshuang unexpectedly.
"I mean, since it is so smart, can it participate in the search and rescue?" Liu Qingshuang's breathing quickened and she stared at Xue Chen unblinkingly, full of hope.
The other three police officers were also shocked.
"This..." Seeing that Liu Qingshuang hoped that Xiao Jin would also participate in the search and rescue of the missing children, Xue Chen hesitated. He had never thought about this and was not sure whether it would work. After all, Xiao Jin was not a specially trained search and rescue dog.
"Xue Chen, it will be dark in less than two hours! You can't find me before it gets dark. You should understand that it is difficult for two children who have no ability to save themselves to survive until tomorrow in this kind of weather." Liu Qingshuang
There was a little water in his eyes, and he bit his lips tightly and said with difficulty.
"Then let me try." Xue Chen let out a long breath, whistled, summoned Xiao Jin back, and put it on his arm.
But looking at Xiao Jin in front of him, he was in a dilemma again. Xiao Jin could be trained to hunt because it was his instinct in life, but how could he be asked to search for the two missing children and tell him directly? I'm afraid Xiao Jin wouldn't
If you are proficient in the foreign language "Chinese", it is just like a chicken talking to a duck.
He took a guess and asked, "What color clothes are those two children wearing?"
Another female police officer was a little confused by Liu Qingshuang's sudden idea and Shenjun's little golden eagle, and blurted out: "The two children changed into new clothes before they got lost, they are the same, both are dark red!
"
"Crimson..." Xue Chen turned around and walked to the villa, found a piece of crimson cloth and waved it in front of Xiao Jin's eyes, "Xiao Jin, go find the child in red clothes." It didn't matter whether Xiao Jin understood it or not.
The horse is treated like a living horse.
Xiao Jin's sharp eagle eyes flickered on the red cloth in Xue Chen's hand, and then flew high into the sky.
At this moment, the local TV stations and radio stations in Haicheng City were reporting the disappearance of the two children and following up on the search and rescue efforts of the police in real time.
Haicheng City Traffic Radio: "After 300 police officers and eight hours of search and rescue, the two missing children have not been found and rescued. According to the weather station's records, there are still one hour and fifty-three-five minutes until dark. Once it gets dark,
Black, the difficulty of search and rescue will increase infinitely, and two children who have no ability to save themselves..."
On the Haicheng City Public Television Channel, a female reporter stood at the foot of the mountain at the entrance of Jinshui Village and conducted a live broadcast. Behind her were more than a dozen snow-covered police cars. From time to time, tired and cold police officers came out of the mountain.
Brings disappointing news.
Haicheng University also formed a support team of thirty people, mainly delivering hot water, instant noodles, and chocolate to the police officers to temporarily restore their physical strength.
Many enthusiastic citizens took the initiative to go into the mountains to help search for the two missing children, but were dissuaded by the police because they were worried that more accidents would happen.
Heavy snow weather and complex mountain and forest environment make search work difficult for even police officers who are in relatively good physical condition. After six hours of high-load search and rescue, 300 police officers have already lost five people.
They slipped and fell and injured their sprained feet. Three of them suffered from collapse, and quite a few suffered frostbite.
What's more, these hot-headed ordinary citizens may be tired and frostbitten without being of any help. If they disappear again, it will be even worse.
Many ordinary citizens are praying, whether they are taxi drivers doing work, supermarket cashiers taking a break from their busy schedule, or housewives cooking, they are all paying attention to the progress of the search, praying that the two men can be found before dark.
The child was brought out of the mountain safely.
Even the mayor Zhao Mingquan was alarmed and personally issued an order to contact the local troops and ask the troops to send more soldiers to join the search operation, demanding that the two children must be recovered!
But as time went by, and the sky became darker and darker, everyone gritted their teeth anxiously, but they had not yet heard the good news they had hoped for. The two missing children still had no news, and no one knew that they were now lost.
where.
At this moment, Liu Qingshuang and the three police officers had left and continued to search into the mountains. Xue Chen stood at the door of the villa for a long time, staring at the gray sky.
Chirp!
A loud eagle cry suddenly sounded in the sky, and the golden eagle, the overlord of the sky, soared from a distance. It gradually turned from a small black dot into a giant with a wingspan of two meters, and suddenly landed in front of Xue Chen with its wings flashing.
, the wind stirred by the wings rolled up the snowflakes. (To be continued)
