Returning to the ward again, Fang Zhiqiang's eyes were downcast and his expression was depressed.

In the past year, too many things have happened, making Fang Zhiqiang feel that everything is so unreal.

But the reality is like this, time cannot stop running because of someone's accident, and things cannot stop changing because of someone's accident.

This is exactly what is meant by the saying that time and circumstances have changed.

Just when Fang Zhiqiang was at a loss what to do, a text message suddenly came to his phone. When Fang Zhiqiang clicked on it, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

The content of the text message showed a photo, which showed the profile of a woman who looked about thirty years old.

It was obvious that she was a pregnant woman. It looked like she was only four or five months pregnant.

But these are not the point. The point is that pale side face. Fang Zhiqiang instantly saw that that person was Li Xiaoxiao!

There is a line of small red text below the photo, the content is very simple: "Countdown: 23 hours and 59 minutes."

Fang Zhiqiang's head was buzzing and he fell into chaos. This simple message, but it revealed the flavor of threat, making Fang Zhiqiang at this moment as if he had lost his soul and was at a loss!

Nie Qian and others also noticed something was wrong with Fang Zhiqiang, and immediately came over one by one. When they saw the photo, they were all shocked.

Nearly half a year has passed since Li Xiaoxiao left. During these six months, no one has seen Li Xiaoxiao, not even a photo of her.

However, looking at Li Xiaoxiao in this photo, Nie Qian felt unreal and incredible!

Although Li Xiaoxiao was twenty-nine years old six months ago, her delicate skin, rosy fair cheeks, and always wearing casual clothes made her look like a young girl.

However, the Li Xiaoxiao in the photo has a pale face, a simple rural woman's attire, and a figure that has long been out of shape, making her look exactly like a rural woman!

The difference between before and after is so huge that it is hard to believe that this is the same person!

However, it is impossible for Fang Zhiqiang to admit his mistake about Li Xiaoxiao's face, and it is impossible for Nie Qian to admit his mistake!

"Qiangzi..."

Nie Qian subconsciously turned her gaze to Qiangzi aside. Looking at Fang Zhiqiang who was stunned at this moment, Nie Qian knew that he must be extremely nervous.

The purpose of this text message is to intimidate!

Fang Zhiqiang looked at the photo over and over again, the pale side face, the bloodless lips, and the slightly bulging belly. Involuntarily, Fang Zhiqiang slowly reached out and touched the phone screen.

Tears were already dripping on the screen unconsciously. Fang Zhiqiang quickly wiped away the tears with his fingers and continued to stare at that face, unwilling to blink, staring intently.

In half a year, Fang Zhiqiang missed Li Xiaoxiao so much, so much!

This is the only photo of Li Xiaoxiao’s current situation that Fang Zhiqiang has seen in half a year!

"Xiaoxiao...you have suffered..."

Fang Zhiqiang touched "Li Xiaoxiao's side face" and said with a choked voice.

"Qiangzi, do you know who sent it?"

Nie Qian knew that Fang Zhiqiang was in a bad mood now, but since the matter had already happened, she naturally had to find a way to solve it, so Nie Qian immediately reminded Fang Zhiqiang.

Hearing this, Fang Zhiqiang sorted out his emotions and stared at the photo again, observing it carefully over and over again.

Next to Li Xiaoxiao is a willow tree. It seems that it should be by the river. The shooting distance is not too far, but it can be seen that the photo was taken secretly.

There are fragments of sunlight cut by willow leaves on the ground, and the yellow soil looks particularly pure under the sunlight.

The most eye-catching thing is obviously the line of red fonts at the bottom.

Fang Zhiqiang guessed that the countdown meant the last time the other party left for him. As long as this time passed, Li Xiaoxiao would be in danger!

Twenty-four hours, in such a short period of time, it was impossible for Fang Zhiqiang to even determine Li Xiaoxiao’s location!

Therefore, at this moment, Fang Zhiqiang also realized the seriousness of this matter and immediately launched a careful investigation.

But even if Nie Qian and others studied the photos together, it was impossible to determine the location or even find Li Xiaoxiao in such a short period of time.

So Fang Zhiqiang simply sent this photo to Lin Shan and asked her to help study it together!

Lin Shan observed the photo for a long time after receiving it, but she also frowned with confusion. Just from this photo, there was no clue at all. She could only see that the location in Li Xiaoxiao's photo was

The location should be a rural area.

However, this is consistent with Fang Zhiqiang's previous speculation, but even so, it still has no helpful effect on her investigation work.

Behind Lin Shan, Bi Luochun also stared at the photo with a solemn expression for a long time. He was rubbing his chin and looked particularly serious and solemn at the moment.

"Mr. Lin, can you tell where this place is?"

Bi Luochun asked Lin Shan while frowning at the photo.

Lin Shan shook her head, and then said without hesitation: "I can't tell anything from this photo."

"Qiangzi asked us to focus on investigating xz. Do you think this is xz?"

Bi Luochun continued to rub his chin and continued.

"It's not like xz. Most of the places there are plateaus, and there are very few scenery like this. It looks more like the south."

Lin Shan thought for a while and then shook her head. She had a certain understanding of the landforms of xz. Although the photos had great limitations, they were only guessing and reasoning based on the photos, so assuming

They are also very bold.

The most important thing is that the time limit is only twenty-four hours, so they can't rule out all possibilities one by one.

As Lin Shan finished speaking, Bi Luochun's eyes suddenly widened, and then he stared at Lin Shan. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "I have been to the southern Yunnan base, and this place seems to have a lot of flavor there!"

"Southern Yunnan?"

Lin Shan frowned when she heard Bi Luochun's words. After repeating it, she seemed to realize that this was indeed southern Yunnan!

Looking at the whole of China, in line with what Fang Zhiqiang said, Li Xiaoxiao is a person who likes quietness, so it is very likely that she will go back to some remote rural areas.

The plateau and southern Yunnan are both places that fit this point!

Judging from this photo, xz has been temporarily excluded, so the remaining ones are most likely southern Yunnan!

And judging from the soil quality and weather in the photo, it does match the current weather in southern Yunnan!

"I'm calling Qiangzi!"

Bi Luochun and Lin Shan looked at each other for a long time. Bi Luochun suddenly took out his mobile phone, said with excitement, and dialed Fang Zhiqiang's number.

"Qiangzi, I think that place should be southern Yunnan!"

After answering the phone, Bi Luochun said without any nonsense.

Fang Zhiqiang frowned slightly when he heard this, and at the same time, Bi Luochun was also ready to explain.

He had been to southern Yunnan and knew the climate there, so he made this inference, but he needed to explain the reason clearly to Fang Zhiqiang.

"That's right, I have been to the southern Yunnan base..."

However, just as Bi Luochun spoke, Fang Zhiqiang interrupted: "No reason is needed. According to your guess, go directly to southern Yunnan! We still have twenty-three and a half hours!"

Fang Zhiqiang's decisiveness was beyond Bi Luochun's expectation. After all, Fang Zhiqiang used to act in an orderly manner and would definitely make a careful plan before taking action. But this time, his haste made Bi Luochun feel a little...

inappropriate.
