"This is Lian's phone. He wouldn't just throw his phone away for no reason. He really did have an accident," an unprecedented sense of panic and fear overwhelmed her, and her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.
"Search the area quickly," Officer Xing immediately gave orders, "Call the police station immediately and ask them to send people over."
Huo Lan You looked around blankly. In the dark night, there was no trace of him. She had just been in his arms last night, and only this morning had they reluctantly parted. Why had he disappeared in just one day? She pushed through the crowd and walked towards the riverbank.
After the heavy rain, the water in the small river was more turbulent than usual.
She had only taken a few steps when she slipped and fell to the ground.
"Xiao You, are you okay?" Duan Xu anxiously ran over to help her up.
"I'm fine," Huo Lan You shook her head absentmindedly, propped herself up with her hands on the grass, and when she raised her hand, a pool of blood appeared on her fair hand.
"It's not mine," she muttered, her eyes wide open.
Everyone hurriedly turned on their flashlights and looked at the place where she had just fallen. Although the rain had washed away a lot, the pile of blood that had not dispersed was still clear.
"Xiao You—" everyone looked at the dazed Huo Lan You, with the phone and the blood, everyone naturally guessed what had happened.
"Is he dead..." After a while, Huo Lan You uttered these six words with difficulty, and it seemed as if all her strength was drained.
"No, we can't determine life or death without seeing him. From the current situation, it seems he was pursued and attacked. Xiao You, you need to calm down first. Think about it, does he have any enemies?" Officer Xing anxiously comforted, "Only in this way can we continue the investigation."
"I don't know, I don't even know his name," Huo Lan You held her head, "I only found him near Ming Yue Manor a month ago."
"Then we will start from that area immediately. You go back first, we will send people to search tonight. Xiao You, your matter is our matter."
"No, I want to stay here and look for him."
"You won't be able to help like this," Officer Xing reprimanded.
After everyone's persuasion was ineffective, Duan Xu had to forcibly take her home.
The night was already very deep. In the living room, there were fallen wine bottles and leftover food.
The strong atmosphere of the party not long ago still lingered. In the closed children's room, Xiao Xun was still sleeping quietly.
But Huo Lan You was clearly very tired, even exhausted, but she couldn't close her eyes.
"Why don't you go to sleep for a while? Maybe there will be news when you wake up," Duan Xu took out a wet towel from the bathroom and handed it to her, "Wipe your face first."
Huo Lan You took it but didn't move. She just shook her head, looking out of the window, "No need," since she couldn't sleep at all, why bother sleeping.
"If Xiao Xun wakes up tomorrow morning and sees you like this, he will definitely be worried. It's always good to close your eyes for a while. You don't want the child to worry," Duan Xu sighed.
Hearing his words, Huo Lan You hesitated for a while, but she obediently went back to her room.
