The next day was Friday. That morning, the county government held a party meeting as usual. The meeting was chaired by the acting county head, Bo Yubing. The other people in the meeting were all deputy county heads, so there were no outsiders.
Bo Yubing looked even more haggard than yesterday afternoon. The luster on her face had disappeared, and it was as if she had suddenly aged ten years. She took out a document issued by the municipal government and studied the spirit of the document with the other deputies. After they finished studying, they each spoke and discussed with each other. The meeting was almost over. This kind of learning meeting was more or less like this.
When Bo Yubing was reading the contents of the document, Li Rui noticed that she made several mistakes. The most ridiculous one was that she actually skipped from the previous line to the next line. The content was not connected at all, but she did not react to it. It was obvious how distracted she was.
After the meeting ended, the deputy county heads left one after another. Bo Yubing sat on the chair with a sullen expression.
Li Rui waited for the last deputy county head to leave the meeting room before he went to Bo Yubing and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Bo Yubing sighed, "What else can it be? It's just my sister."
Li Rui was surprised and asked, "That can't be. You didn't contact her last night?"
"Not to mention last night, I couldn't even contact her this morning." Bo Yubing said angrily. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If she saw Bo Yuxue now, she would definitely go up and bite her.
Li Rui felt that it was very strange and asked, "Didn't you say that she returned to Jingnan? Why can't you contact her? Her husband didn't see her either? "
Bo Yubing couldn't say that she didn't contact Bo Yuxue's husband. She sighed faintly and said, "I'll wait for another day. If I don't hear from her tonight, I'll go back to Jingnan to look for her tomorrow."
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, I'll bring my wife and child to the provincial capital to visit my in-laws. If you need help, you can contact me. I have some connections in the provincial capital. Maybe they can't be compared to your family, but they might be able to help."
Bo Yubing stood up and said, "Well, thank you for your kindness. If I really need help, I will contact you." After that, she hurried out of the conference room.
Li Rui watched her leave and sighed inwardly. So what if she was a county magistrate? With such an unruly and unruly younger sister, she would still have a hard time. Therefore, God was still very fair and would not let anyone enjoy all the benefits. More or less, he would find some trouble to annoy you.
Time flew by, and it was Saturday in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Li Rui and Qingman set off from their home in the city with Little Bowen. They went to the provincial capital to visit Lu Zhouxing and his wife. Bo Yubing, who had not received any news from her sister for two days, fulfilled her promise to Li Rui and asked the driver, Xiao Liu, to drive them back to Jingnan.
Not mentioning Li Rui's side, just talking about Bo Yubing, after she returned to Jingnan, she rushed to Bo Yuxue's house, found Bo Yuxue's husband and directly asked him if he had been in contact with Bo Yuxue these few days. At this time, Bo Yubing had no scruples. Even if she intentionally or unintentionally exposed her sister's scandal, she did not care. Her priority was to find her sister.
"No, what's wrong?"
Bo Yuxue's husband, who was the man who had a conflict with Li Rui in the guest house of Shuanghe County when Bo Yuxue and her husband helped Bo Yubing move, answered her sister-in-law's question with a puzzled expression.
Bo Yubing asked again with a serious expression, "Then have you seen her?"
"No, isn't she staying with you in Shuanghe? Where can I see her? "
Bo Yubing panicked when she heard this and shouted, "She checked out the day before yesterday and left. I thought she came back home. I haven't been able to contact her for a few days!" With that said, she briefly recounted the process of looking for her and not being able to contact her. In order to not scare him, she did not dare to tell him that his father-in-law had dreamed of Bo Yuxue.
Bo Yuxue's husband found it strange but did not think it was a big deal. He asked casually, "She didn't go back to her parents' house?"
"No, if she went back to her parents' house, would I not know?"
Bo Yuxue's husband's expression changed slightly. Only then did he feel afraid. He said helplessly, "Then … then what should we do now? Mobilize the whole family to look for her in the city? But the city is so big, who knows where she went? "
Bo Yubing was a county head after all, so she was quite intelligent. After thinking for a while, she already had an idea. She said, "How about this? You first call those close friends of Yuxue's in your family circle and ask them if they have contacted Yuxue recently. I'll call our cousins and ask them about it. "
After the two of them divided the work, they each made a call. After a series of phone calls, it was already half an hour later. At this time, the two of them looked at each other and could see the heavy disappointment on each other's face.
"What should we do? No one contacted Yuxue. Where could she have gone? Could it be that there was a traffic accident on the way back … "
Bo Yuxue's husband was already a little flustered. He did not know whether it was good or bad.
Bo Yubing glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'll ask Jianbo again. He saw Yuxue before she went missing."
Bo Yuxue's husband asked curiously, "How did he see Yuxue?"
Bo Yubing briefly told him what happened that night and took out her phone to call Qiu Jianbo.
Bo Yuxue's husband did not take it to heart. After all, what Bo Yubing said was very normal. It was very common for a sister-in-law to help mediate when a couple quarreled. There was nothing to be suspicious about.
The call went through. Bo Yubing asked Qiu Jianbo in detail about Bo Yuxue that night but did not get anything useful. Finally, she said helplessly, "Yuxue is missing!"
Qiu Jianbo exclaimed in shock, "No way? How is that possible? Yuxue was still fine that night. She was even joking with me. How could she be missing? "
Bo Yubing sighed and said, "To be precise, she's lost contact. No one can contact her now. We can only call the police."
Qiu Jianbo said, "Don't worry. I'll go find you now. Where are you? This is very important. Let's discuss it together."
Bo Yubing was worried and afraid. She was afraid that something had really happened to her sister. Therefore, she was particularly upset and said angrily, "What's the use of you coming? Can you find Yuxue just by coming? Run your company well. I'll report it to the police. Also, don't tell our parents about this. They're old … "
After the call, Bo Yubing suddenly realized that ever since she had known Qiu Jianbo, she had never thought highly of him. Even though she had married him and lived with him for many years, she still did not think that he was worthy of her. Now that she had encountered such an important matter, she did not want him to get involved. Rather than saying that she did not trust his ability to help, it would be more accurate to say that she had never treated him as part of her family.
Thinking of this, she shook her head and threw away this unruly thought because there were more important things waiting for her to do …
At around one o 'clock in the afternoon, Bo Yubing, who had reported the missing person case at the police station, called the Jingnan City branch company that the ETC card on Bo Yuxue's car belonged to. They wanted to use the data to determine if Bo Yuxue had really driven back to Jingnan to further narrow down the scope of her disappearance.
"Found it. The day before yesterday morning, no … it was already noon. The BMW car with the license plate number you said got off the highway from our city's Jinggang Expressway exit. I have the record of her payment when she left the expressway and passed by the ETC exit. The time shows that it was 11: 57. "
The female staff member who answered the phone explained the payment record of Bo Yuxue's BMW 750 to the police officer and Bo Yubing over the phone. The phone was set to speaker mode, so Bo Yubing could hear it too.
Bo Yubing was slightly relieved and said to the police officer, "My sister really did return to Jingnan. That means that even if she went missing, she went missing in the city. She couldn't have gone too far."
The police officer ignored her and asked the other party, "Did this car leave our city again later?"
The female staff member said, "In the past three days, I only found this expressway payment record, nothing else."
The police officer thanked her and hung up the phone. He said to Bo Yubing, "We still can't say for sure that your sister went missing in the city. She might have driven back to the city on the expressway and left the city through the provincial road to go somewhere else. She wouldn't have left any expressway payment record. She could also have left by plane or train. It's hard to say."
Bo Yubing asked, "Then let's call the airline and the train station to ask?"
The police officer shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Let's first confirm if your sister was alone in the car when she came back. I suspect that she might have been hijacked or kidnapped. Let's go to the city's expressway traffic police detachment now and get the video of your sister driving on the expressway. "
Bo Yubing felt that his words made sense, but she still couldn't believe it. She muttered, "Hijacked or kidnapped? How is that possible? If she was kidnapped, the kidnapper would have called for ransom long ago, right? "
Next, the two rushed to the Jingnan City's expressway traffic police detachment and went to the surveillance center to find someone to get the video of the moment Bo Yuxue left the expressway exit. The police officer looked at the time when the BMW left the expressway and easily found the video when it went through the ECT exit. He watched it and took a clearer picture for the two to see.
The picture was clearer, but the front windshield of the BMW was covered with a film, so the interior of the car was a little dark. Fortunately, at first glance, they could roughly see. Bo Yubing saw that the woman sitting in the car was wearing sunglasses and was wearing the clothes that her sister wore in Shuanghe County. She shouted, "It's my sister, it's her!"
The police officer carefully checked the front passenger seat and the back seat of the car. After looking, he shook his head and said, "She's alone in the car!"
