Chapter 31 Meeting
After saying goodbye to Lao Chai, Xia Mufan came out of the woods and immediately found Yue Yuan to report his work.

This time, the serious crime team selected five people from the serious crime group six to participate in the investigation near Zheng'an Station. Yue Yuan personally dispatched and directed the work, and used the large conference room of the Zheng'an Town Police Station to complete the daily work handover and reporting.

Yue Yuan was promoted to deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Hui City Public Security Bureau, and everyone's way of addressing him changed from "Team Leader Yue" to "Captain Yue".

Seeing Xia Mufan striding into the conference room, Yue Yuan, who was standing by the phone, raised his head and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

The case of Xia Mufan looking for his mother has the support of the entire Public Security Bureau. This time Yue Yuan was in charge personally. All the members of the serious crime team who participated in the investigation showed a high degree of unity and cooperation. From the Xinzhang Town Police Station, Rongyang Town Police Station to the Zheng'an Town Police Station, they all gave the green light to this case.

This kind of atmosphere made Xia Mufan deeply moved.

Without everyone's help, she would never have been able to track down the clue of Lao Zou so quickly.

"Captain Yue, I want to adjust my investigation strategy."

Yue Yuan noticed the excitement in Xia Mufan's voice, nodded, raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling her to take a breath and speak slowly. After such a long time of contact with Xia Mufan, Yue Yuan knew that she was sensitive, flexible, and daring. Now her eyes were shining with eagerness to try, and it was obvious that she had a good idea.

"I checked the place where Yao Yanfei abandoned my mother. The slope there is steep and long. If someone falls down, they are very likely to get hurt. If it was just a leg injury, my mother could call for help, but if it was a head injury, she might fall into a coma."

Yue Yuan confirmed Xia Mufan's speculation: "Yes, it is possible."

There is a high probability that Xu Shumei is still alive.

It is precisely because of this speculation that the current focus of the investigators is to visit nearby old residents with Xu Shumei's photo, hoping to find eyewitnesses. Unfortunately, due to the long time, coupled with the decline of Zheng'an Station, the surrounding people have been moving away, and there is no result after two days of questioning.

However, as long as people are alive, they will definitely leave traces.

Through on-site investigation, Yue Yuan found that the missing location was seven or eight minutes' drive from the train station and there was a railway track passing nearby. He focused his investigation on the railway workers.

He had already contacted the Archives Center of the Railway Administration and had just obtained the information of the railway employees at Zheng'an Station in the two years around 1980. He was planning to look for suspicious points among these employees when Xia Muchan, who had been traveling outside, came back.

"Yao Yanfei saw my mother at around 12:30 p.m. and drove for two or three hours before dropping her off at around three o'clock. At this time, people were either at work or working, so few people walked this road. If my mother was unconscious, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find her for a while."

According to the information provided by Lao Chai, the workers at the railway station were hammering on the rails with wrenches every day. This type of work should be track maintenance workers. What she had to do now was to draw out the clue of track maintenance workers through on-site analysis.
