Did Wang Liping come out from another intersection?
If so, the amount of checking work would be enormous. Thousands of hours of video surveillance, with only the three of them, they simply couldn't finish it in a short time.
As for whether to ask others for help to watch together?
Better forget about it.
People are usually busy enough with their work, you think they'd drop everything to help you watch surveillance footage?
Do you think it's the director's daughter who's missing? Such a big favor?
"Thank you, for taking up so much of your time."
Li Xiang sincerely thanked him, after all, from yesterday afternoon to this morning, they had taken up a whole day of his time, it indeed felt a bit awkward.
"No problem, it was the right thing to do, it's just that we didn't find anything, which is a bit regretful."
"It's already very good, at least you've helped us narrow down the area."
After leaving, Li Xiang immediately gathered everyone in their group.
It was time to put them to good use.
"Got it, assembling right away."
This time Brother Long was quite proactive, immediately responding in the group.
Seeing Brother Long's response, others also replied in confirmation.
Li Xiang and his team arrived at the alley where Wang Liping was last seen and sent the coordinates in the group. Twenty minutes later, Brother Long and his team drove over with the van from yesterday, followed by a group of spirited youngsters on Ghost Fire electric bikes.
"Holy crap~"
Sun Zhidong was stunned.
The few people who got out of the van looked like they were mixed up with society, people Li Xiang had fought with before.
"Call him Brother Li!"
As Brother Long got off the van, he immediately introduced Li Xiang to his guys, and indeed, he hadn't exaggerated the previous night.
"Hello, Brother Li."
"And this is Brother Sun."
"Hello, Brother Sun."
Being called "brother" by everyone felt truly satisfying, and Sun Zhidong unconsciously puffed out his chest.
No wonder everyone wants to be the boss.
"We need to hurry up, those who haven't joined the group yet, join in, and I'll explain the situation. We're looking for someone, I'll send her details in the group, this is where she disappeared. In a bit, we'll divide the area and do a grid search. If there's any news, notify us in the group immediately."
After assigning the tasks, Brother Long immediately assured him: "Don't worry, Brother Li, your task is my task."
He then addressed his fellows: "Whoever finds a clue today, there will be a heavy reward."
"Alright."
"Let's go!"
They scattered like monkeys, and Li Xiang placed his last hope on them.
After the crowd dispersed, only Brother Long was left, Li Xiang nodded in satisfaction at his actions:
"You did well today, I didn't expect you to gather so many people."
He had only thought Brother Long was bluffing the night before, but today was a pleasant surprise.
"It was necessary, to be able to do things for Brother Li, is something I can't ask for more, from now on, I, Chen Long, am willing to follow you. Just call me Xiaolong in the future."
Uh,
Li Xiang immediately refused: "I'm not a local, I'm just here to find someone, once I find them I'll leave Jinling."
Chen Long looked disappointed, but then spoke again: "No worries, it doesn't matter where, I just want to be your subordinate."
Last night, after returning from the hospital, Chen Long thought about it all night. He had made a minor name for himself in Jinling, but further progress was incredibly difficult. With no money, he could only resort to scams to make a little money for play.
And also rely on some subordinates' tributes.
After being beaten thoroughly by Li Xiang, he instantly felt that Li Xiang was the real boss, his own bravery was nothing but child's play in comparison. Even with so many people and weapons, they were utterly defeated by him. Now this was a real expert.
If he could become his subordinate, then he wouldn't have to stoop to petty schemes anymore.
Li Xiang looked at him speechlessly, who begs to be someone's subordinate?
"We'll see, if we find the person I'll consider it, if not, what use is there for useless people?"
Counting on them to find the person, Li Xiang didn't say no bluntly. Sure enough, Chen Long perked up after hearing this, "Really?"
With a "pop", Sun Zhidong smacked Chen Long's head: "Would Brother Li lie to you?"
This time Chen Long didn't get annoyed, he felt the spot where he was hit and smiled foolishly: "Right!"
"Then I'll go supervise, even if I have to dig three feet, I'll find this person."
Ultimately, Chen Long also left, leaving only Li Xiang and Sun Zhidong.
"Being the boss is really great, just delegate tasks and that's it. In this cold weather, no need to run around yourself."
Recalling running around all morning yesterday, exhausted and asking countless people with no clues, Sun Zhidong felt a wave of emotion.
Li Xiang had the same feeling, perhaps agreeing with Chen Long wouldn't be a bad thing, but worry was he might be unreliable, and if anything happened and he sold me out, wouldn't that be a disaster?
No, no.
Someone like him can only be used, definitely can't be their boss.
The two found a café, stayed warm, drank coffee, and waited for updates, feeling quite cozy.
By around eleven, there was finally news in the group; someone said they had asked a person who claimed to have seen the person in the video.
"Where?"
Li Xiang replied immediately.
Soon, that person sent a location in the group.
"Stop drinking, we got a lead, let's go."
Li Xiang quickly called Sun Zhidong and headed to the location in the message.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the given location.
By this time, many spirited youths who saw the group message had also gathered here.
The person claiming to have seen the girl was a grandmother in her sixties. Seeing so many people suddenly appear, she was clearly a bit frightened, the wrinkles on her face appeared deeper.
"Please go away for now, don't scare the granny."
"Yes, Brother Li."
After the young ones left, the granny relaxed a bit more. At this point, Li Xiang took out a photo and showed it to her: "Granny, I heard you've seen her? She's a friend of mine and is currently missing. According to surveillance, she was around here before she disappeared. Have you seen her?"
"I have, about a few days ago, but I don't remember the exact date."
"Where did you see her?"
"That day I was going out to buy groceries, I saw someone similar to the person in your photo at the entrance of the Sunshine Stationery Factory, wearing a red jacket and pulling a suitcase. They went inside with a man, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the person you're looking for."
