At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Domineering rushed into Jiangzhou city in a storm.

Sure enough, there was severe water accumulation in many sections of the city, and many cars were flooded in the water.

Fortunately, Qiao Liang and the others drove the domineering, and with the village chief's experience, they rushed all the way, passing several sections of deep water and heading straight to the mental hospital.

When Domineering passed by the gate of the courtyard, Qiao Liang said to the village chief: "Brother, stop the car."

The village chief stopped the car and looked back at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang looked at Shao Bingyu: "You get out of the car and go back to the dormitory first."

"No, I'll go find someone with you." Shao Bingyu said.

Qiao Liang shook his head decisively: "You don't need to find someone."

"But..." Shao Bingyu was about to say something, Qiao Liang said anxiously, "Okay, don't cause trouble at this time, get out of the car and go back quickly."

Seeing that Qiao Liang was a little irritable, Shao Bingyu pursed her lips and knew that she could not argue with him at this time. Then she opened the car door and got out of the car, put on a raincoat, stood under the car, and looked at Qiao Liang worriedly.

Qiao Liang felt that his attitude seemed a little too much, and nodded apologetically at Shao Bingyu. Shao Bingyu didn't say anything else, and then turned around and walked towards the apartment community.

Seeing Shao Bingyu enter the community, Qiao Liang said to the village chief: "Brother, go to the city mental hospital."

The village chief nodded, then stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the mental hospital.

Qiao Liang's eyes were staring at the heavy rain outside the car, his heart was filled with worry and nervousness, and his extreme anxiety caused by various difficult speculations.

The car drove to the gate of the mental hospital and stopped. Qiao Liang expressed his gratitude to the village chief and asked him to find a hotel to stay in. He would wait until the rain stopped tomorrow before returning to the mountain. The village chief shook his head: "No, Mr. Qiao, the rain is too heavy tonight. The mountain torrent broke out. The village will definitely be affected by the disaster. I have to hurry up and rush back overnight to organize everyone to fight the flood and rescue..."

The village chief is a good village official who cares about the safety of the people.

After hearing what the village chief said made sense, Qiao Liang no longer insisted and told him to be careful on the way back and to pay attention to safety. The village chief nodded and agreed, then took out an umbrella from the car and handed it to Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang was wet all over at this time, but it was the same with or without an umbrella.

But the village chief's kindness was still necessary. Qiao Liang took the umbrella and got out of the car. He watched the village chief turn around and waved at the village chief. The village chief honked the horn and then drove away.

Qiao Liang opened the umbrella and was about to walk in, when a cry came from behind him: "Lao Wu..."

Qiao Liang turned around and the third brother wearing a raincoat ran over panting.

The third brother ran here from the place where the car was shut down. The distance was not close, and his legs were so tired that they were weak.

"Why are you here now?" the third brother said dissatisfied.

"I rushed back from the mountains." Qiao Liang said simply.

The third brother understood, Damn, it was so heavy that he rushed back from the mountains, and Qiao Liang was really risky to do this.

Then the third brother was dissatisfied again: "You will leave Jiangzhou early tomorrow morning. You are sick. Are you still staying in the mountains tonight?"

"Okay, stop talking, hurry up and go in." Qiao Liang said anxiously.

The two then walked into the mental hospital. The hospital was dark and there were no lights in the street lights or buildings.

The old three followed Qiao Liang and said, "It is probably a lightning strike that caused this power outage..."

Qiao Liang walked quickly without saying a word.

The two entered the ward building, which was pitch black inside. They took out their cell phones, turned on the flashlight, and went straight to Zhangmei's ward.

When I arrived at the door of Zhangmei's ward, the door was open.

The two went in and quickly illuminated the room. They didn't even let go of the bathroom and the balcony, and did not find Zhang Mei.

"What's going on? What about Zhang Mei? Where did she go? Where would she go? Where would she go? Where would she? Where would she go!" Qiao Liang said irritably.

The third brother frowned and looked a little nervous.

Qiao Liang then started dialing with his mobile phone.

"Who are you going to call?" The third brother looked at Qiao Liang.

"Dean, ask him." Qiao Liang said while dialing.

"Yes, but after opening, don't tell him that we know that Zhang Mei is missing. You just say that it's because we are leaving tomorrow. I want to come over to see Zhang Mei tonight, but when I arrive, I find that Zhang Mei is missing." The third brother said quickly.

Qiao Liang understood the meaning of the third brother's words. He was worried that his words would cause the director to suspicion, and that the director would know about the safety monitoring in Zhangmei's ward.

Qiao Liang nodded, then the phone was answered. Qiao Liang told the dean about Zhang Mei missing as the third brother said.

The dean was already lying down to rest. After hearing Qiao Liang talk about this, he pondered for a moment: "Mr. Qiao, don't worry, I will arrange for the dean on duty to take people over..."

Judging from the dean's tone, he didn't seem nervous and did not intend to come here in person.

With Qiao Liang's job transfer and his identity change, the dean's attitude towards Qiao Liang involuntarily changed. In the past, when Qiao Liang followed An Zhe, if something happened, the dean would rush to the hospital as quickly as possible and personally directed the search for Zhang Mei. But now, Qiao Liang is already a marginalized person, so he certainly would not pay much attention to it. Besides, the mentally ill people living in the hospital often run away due to the bad weather. It is not a big deal for Zhang Mei to disappear. Just arrange for the dean on duty to take people to look for it.

After hanging up the dean's phone number, Qiao Liang asked the third brother: "Did you see Sister Li in the surveillance?"

"No." The third brother shook his head.

"Sister Li is the special guardian of Zhang Mei arranged by the hospital. Where is she now?" Qiao Liang said.

"I don't know." The third brother shook his head again.

At this time, several flashlights came, accompanied by the chaotic footsteps, and several people walked quickly.

The dean on duty and several security guards came here.

The dean on duty greeted Qiao Liang, then went into the ward to take a look, frowned: "Oh, where will Zhang Mei go in this bad weather? Mr. Qiao, I will arrange for someone to find him..."

"Don't be busy." The third brother said.

The dean on duty looked at the third brother, and the third brother said, "Go to the hospital monitoring room first."

The third brother reminded Qiao Liang: "Yes, look at the surveillance first."

The dean on duty shook his head: "It's useless. It's not dark yet and before it started raining, the surveillance camera broke."

"Ah?" Qiao Liang was stunned, "How was it bad?"

"It was strong wind before the rain, and a tree in the yard was scraped down, breaking the main signal line connecting the camera outside the monitoring room. The maintenance master got off work and could repair it tomorrow." said the dean on duty.

Qiao Liang stared at the third brother in a daze, and the third brother nodded, which meant that this situation was very likely.

Qiao Liang was anxious and the surveillance was broken. The greatest hope of discovering Zhang Mei's clues was shattered.

Qiao Liang then looked at the dean on duty: "Then, where is Sister Li, who is responsible for guarding Zhang Mei? Where is her now?"

The dean on duty said: "Because there is a storm tonight, Xiao Li's child is still young, and her husband is on a business trip again. She is worried that the child is afraid of being at home. After Ang Zhangmei went to bed, she asked me for leave and went home to take care of the child."

The dean on duty seemed to be indecisive.

Qiao Liang glanced at the third brother again, and the third brother frowned and said nothing.

The dean on duty continued: "Based on the current situation, I think I can only use the most primitive method to find someone quickly and find them in the hospital first..."

Qiao Liang thought about it, so he nodded.

The dean then said to a security guard: "Go and notify immediately and ask all the staff on duty in the hospital and the security guards who are sleeping to come here to gather immediately..."

The security guard agreed to run and notify him. Soon a group of on-duty personnel and security guards came. The on-duty dean arranged for everyone to divide into several groups, spread them in the yard, and search them separately, emphasizing that you should pay attention to searching for blind spots.

Just as everyone was about to start the action, the third brother said, "Everyone, as long as you can find Zhang Mei, you will be rewarded with a lot of 100,000 yuan."

Qiao Liang was very moved when he heard this. The third brother was very pleased.

When everyone heard this, they felt as if they were injected with chicken blood. They suddenly had their eyes lit up and their enthusiasm was high. The dean on duty was also attracted by the 100,000 yuan, and became energetic. They personally led a group to find someone.

Qiao Liang and the third brother also participated in the search separately.

At this time, the rain outside became weaker, which created favorable conditions for finding people.

After a while, I called and the yard and the building were brightly lit, making it easier to find someone.

According to the division of labor, we searched one floor after another, and we did not miss the storage room, bathroom partitions and space under the stairs. We did not miss any dark corners in the yard.

We kept finding it at 3 a.m., and we met in front of the ward building, and we were disappointed and found nothing.

Qiao Liang felt a strong sense of ominousness in his heart at this time. Could it be that Zhang Mei was not missing herself, but...

When Qiao Liang thought of this, he felt scared and dared not think about it anymore.

"Mr. Qiao, since there is no in the yard, we don't have enough strength to find it outside. Otherwise, call the police..." the dean on duty tentatively.

Qiao Liang looked at the third brother, and the third brother thought for a moment and said to the dean on duty: "I suggest you search the yard carefully. If you still can't find it, then call the police again."

"This..." The dean on duty was a little hesitant. Looking at everyone, everyone was a little discouraged.

The third brother continued: "The remuneration is doubled, 200,000 yuan."

When the third brother said this, the dean on duty lit up his eyes and everyone was immediately energetic. Damn, 200,000 yuan, it's so exciting, so let's look for it again. What if there is something missing just now, what if?

So the dean on duty led people to search again.

After they left, Qiao Liang looked at the third brother: "What do you mean?"

"Follow me." The third brother raised his foot and left.

"Where do you go?" Qiao Liang followed the third brother.

"Go to my company." The third brother walked quickly.

"What are you doing when you go to your company?" Qiao Liang asked quickly.
