If not for the fact that they had found a bunch of license plates in the commercial vehicle involved in the accident, the investigation would have taken an even longer time.
“The accident was extremely serious. Of the two vehicles involved, one of them was a Volkswagen Santana in which the driver died on the spot. According to the vehicle record, the driver should be the only person in the vehicle at that time. The other vehicle was the commercial vehicle ferrying your sister. The driver too has passed away. There was an accompanying medical staff who is currently unconscious. We deduce that the three of them should be the only people on the vehicle.”
Shi Guang looked at Ye Chongjun nervously. “Based on your understanding, everyone present at the scene should have been accounted for. Two of them are dead, and one of them is deeply unconscious. But what about my sister? Where could she have gone to? She is a vegetable. If everyone else is accounted for, there’s no way she could have left by herself! Could she have awakened?”
“We can’t exclude that possibility.”
Shi Guang bit on her lips. Right now, the only way to know of her sister’s whereabouts was with that accompanying medical staff.
“When will that medical staff wake up?”
“Not sure,” After Ye Chongjun replied with those two simple words, he could clearly feel the despair that was building in Shi Guang’s eyes. Mulling for a moment, he continued, “Once I receive the news, I’ll send someone to go seal the scene of the accident. We will head down to the scene in the afternoon to check it out ourselves. If there are any leads to your sister’s whereabouts, I’ll inform you at first notice.”
“Can I tag along?” Shi Guang looked at him hopefully. That was her sister’s last known location, and she really wanted to go take a look.
“Erm…”
“Captain Ye, I’m begging you,” Shi Guang’s sincere face caused Ye Chongjun to be stumped, not knowing how to reply.
Looking at how worried she was, Lu Yanchen spoke as well, “We’ll just observe from the side and will not interfere with your work.”
Initially, Ye Chongjun had just thought that Shi Guang was the only one going along. But, since Lu Yanchen was going as well, he was naturally more than happy to have them. After all, someone was once a special forces soldier. Who knew if he might be able to spot some clues at the scene.
“Alright, we’ll all go together then.”
Shi Guang was immensely grateful and could not wait any longer.
Ye Chongjun brought with him an assistant and the four of them left in two vehicles to the road that wound around the forest in the suburbs.
It was a really harsh road with tight meanders, such that most cars would face much difficulty traversing through these compact roads. Without any signs of people around, the deeper they approached the forest, the creepier the aura of the place got.
Because this was truly quite a secluded area, it took quite some time after the accident before someone reported it to the police.
The scene was rather well maintained as it did not affect current traffic conditions. Hence, other than those people involved being moved away, the vehicles were still on the scene.
Lu Yanchen, Ye Chongjun, and his assistant stood at the side, inspecting and discussing how the accident could have happened and the reactions of the drivers when they collided as though they were present at the scene themselves.
Standing at the side and listening in on them silently, Shi Guang could almost visualize her sister coming out of the commercial vehicle with her fixated glare.
Not long after they were discussing, Lu Yanchen said to Shi Guang, “There’s a village up ahead. I’ll go check it out with Chongjun and ask if anyone witnessed the accident. Stay here with Little Li.”
Little Li was Ye Chongjun’s assistant who had to stay and continue taking notes, and hence could not follow them.
The temperature was starting to dip. Even though Shi Guang had already worn a thin outerwear, one needed a thick jacket to maintain their warmth in the forest areas. Hence, Shi Guang went into the car and sat down.
