The destination of this mission is located in a certain area in the southwest. The location is extremely remote, and it is more than 300 kilometers away from the nearest prefecture-level city. Therefore, after we got off the plane, we had to rent a car and drive for about two days.
.
At that time, there were no mobile phone navigation software as convenient as today. Lin Qianyi and I could only rely on the map highlighted for us and follow the directions on the map.
However, after running all the way for most of the day, towards the evening, Lin Qianyi and I found helplessly that we were lost.
At that time, because of the long distance, I was afraid that Lin Qianyi would be tired, so I took the initiative to ask for me to drive, while she sat in the passenger seat and looked at the map to give me directions. However, a few hours later, I felt that I
I decided to regret it.
Just as I was following her instructions, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, because our destination this time was clearly in the west, but the direction Lin Qianyi pointed was actually south, and I had seen the map before, and along the way
Although the roads are not expressways, they are all on national highways. How can it be like now, where the roads are getting more and more deviated.
Finally, I couldn't help but stop the car on the side of the road, and then asked Lin Qianyi to check the map, only to find that she actually pointed me in the wrong direction.
"Did I really see it wrong?"
When I told her that she pointed the wrong way, Lin Qianyi still didn't believe it: "That's right, isn't it? Look, Sijiu, if you keep driving forward for a while, there should be an entrance to the highway."
"But Sister Lin, if we go along the highway, we will go directly out of the province, but the excavation site is within the province? Besides, if you really follow the direction on the map, the highway entrance you just mentioned, we
You should have passed by ten minutes ago, right?"
"Ah?" After hearing what I said, Lin Qianyi finally realized that she had really taken the wrong path. Her pretty face suddenly turned red and she said, "Then, what should we do now?"
I looked at the map, then looked at our current location outside the car, and sadly discovered that after Lin Qianyi’s previous misleading, I was no longer sure where we were now. Because right now we
We were on a winding mountain road, and there were no road signs anywhere, making it impossible to confirm our location.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but want to complain a few words, but before I could say anything, seeing the aggrieved look on Lin Qianyi's face, I could only swallow my words back, release the handbrake and restart the car.
, return along the way you came.
I remember that on the way here, I saw a road sign saying that there was a small town nearby. It was getting late now, so my plan was to stay in that small town today while I searched for
Find someone to show us the way.
After driving along the road for another hour, we finally arrived at the town I saw before before the sun went down. The town is not big, but the surrounding scenery is good, and occasionally you can see it.
I saw some tourists who looked like travel companions coming and going.
After first finding a guest house in the town and getting a room, Lin Qianyi and I headed to the local police station without stopping.
Isn't there a saying in the past that if you have trouble, go to the police? Lin Qianyi and I planned to go to the local police station for help, hoping that they could point us to a way to the excavation site.
When we asked where the police station was, the sun had already set. We were afraid that the people at the police station were about to get off work, so we couldn't help but quicken our pace.
Fortunately, when I arrived at the door of the police station, there were still noisy voices coming from inside. When I walked in, I found a man arguing with several policemen inside the police station. Although I couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about, I
But I heard the words "wife" and "missing".
At this time, seeing the two of us coming in, one of the policemen immediately walked towards us as if he was running away, saying "Hello, I am the director here, what can I do for you?"
We were taken to an office at the back door.
In the office, in order to avoid trouble, I took out my ID card from the Ministry of Public Security. Just when I was about to speak, I saw the director was startled and said, "Two comrades, are you here because of that man? But
He’s just a lunatic, how come he’s even alarmed within the headquarters?”
Lin Qianyi and I looked at each other and then said, "Comrade, what do you mean?"
When the director heard my question, he glared: "Aren't you here because of that man outside?"
"That man outside?" Lin Qianyi pointed to the door and said, "Are you talking about the man we just saw? What happened to him?"
"No, no, it's nothing." The director quickly waved his hand and said, "That man is a lunatic. You two don't need to worry about him. By the way, what's the matter with you?"
After hearing that we were just asking for directions, the panic on the director's face completely faded away. He then enthusiastically pointed out our current location on the map and which way to take to the excavation site. He was afraid that we wouldn't be able to get there.
Remember, he even asked us if we wanted to send a policeman to guide us. We were afraid of inconveniencing him too much, so we said no. Upon seeing this, the director wrote another road guide in hand for us, and we walked on it.
Which roads and which bridges we cross are clearly marked for us.
Finally, the director reminded us that it was getting late now, so it was best to stay in the town for one night before leaving. If we had no place to stay, he could help us contact the guest house in the town.
We quickly said no, and after thanking each other again and again, we took our things and walked out of the office.
When we went out, the man who was making trouble in the police station had disappeared. Lin Qianyi and I didn't think much at the time and said goodbye to the police chief.
The director didn't hold us back, he just walked us out the door and asked us to walk slowly from a distance.
After leaving the police station gate, Lin Qianyi and I were discussing where to go for dinner at night. Suddenly, a man rushed out from the corner of the road. As soon as he came up, he stopped us and asked: "Two comrades, are you too?"
Police?"
Lin Qianyi and I took a closer look and realized that this man was actually the man who had caused a scene in the police station just now.
Thinking that the director just said that this person was crazy, I didn't want to talk to him. However, Lin Qianyi took the initiative to answer: "Sir, do you have something to talk to us about?"
"Sister Lin..." I couldn't help but pull Lin Qianyi and use my eyes to signal her not to make trouble. However, Lin Qianyi gave me a look that said, "She wants to understand the situation first."
On the other side, the man suddenly became excited when he saw that Lin Qianyi did not deny our identity as a police officer. However, he did not answer Lin Qianyi's question immediately. Instead, he looked past us and glanced in the direction of the police station.
Then he said furtively: "You two, it's not very convenient here. Let's talk in detail somewhere else."
I frowned, looked around, then pointed to a small restaurant on the side of the road and said, "Sister Lin, we happen to be having dinner. Since you want to talk, let's go over there and talk while we eat?"
The man also said: "Did you two not have dinner? It doesn't matter. I'll treat you to this meal. As long as you can listen to what I have to say."
Just like that, we entered the small roadside restaurant and asked for a small private room. The restaurant owner seemed to be very familiar with the man, and asked him a little teasingly why he hadn't left yet, and how many days he wanted to stay at the police station.
?
The man was so angry that he glared at the boss, sat down, covered his head, poured himself a cup of tea, and then said nothing. It wasn't until we ordered the food and the boss left the private room with the menu that the man spoke.
He talked about his own situation.
This man claimed that his surname was Xu and his first name was Yuanlong. He stopped us this time because he was hiding outside. When he saw the director of the police station escorting us out very enthusiastically, he thought we were also policemen and wanted to ask us to help him.
something.
I said, "Mr. Xu, if you have something to call the police, why don't you go directly to the police station? Although we are police, we are from out of town. If you have any problems, we may not be able to help you."
"
Mr. Xu said with red eyes: "You two, if those policemen were willing to help me, I wouldn't bother you? In fact, no one would believe what I said. I was desperate, so I had no choice but to trouble you."
Lin Qianyi asked him: "Mr. Xu, what difficulties do you have? You might as well tell us. If we can help you, we will definitely help."
"Great! Two police comrades, please save my wife!" Mr. Xu said anxiously after hearing Lin Qianyi's words.
I told him not to be impatient and to speak slowly.
Mr. Xu took a deep breath and drank another cup of hot tea before he finally regained his composure and told us everything.
It turns out that Mr. Xu came to find us both specifically for the sake of his wife whose whereabouts were unknown.
