under the vortex

Chapter 97

At this time, in the lobby of the Maritime Safety Administration, the family members relaxed a lot after knowing that everyone on board was alive.

Today is Tuesday, the fourth day since they lost contact with the people on board.

When Wu Peng came out of the community in the morning, he happened to meet Jia Wenjun's parents.

"Good morning, Xiaowu." Jia's father and Jia's mother lived in their daughter's house last night, thinking about others when they saw things, and Jia's mother was busy cleaning the house.

First, Mother Jia wanted her daughter to have a clean and tidy environment when she came back, and second, because she was afraid that she would think wildly when she was free. Although they are still alive, the boat has run aground. Do they have anything to eat?Will the water overflow into the boat?Is it safe?When will the rescue team bring them back?

Thinking of this, Mother Jia couldn't calm down. Only by keeping busy at hand could she stop her messy thoughts a little bit.

Fortunately, after working until midnight, both couples were exhausted, so they slept through the night, and their spirits improved a little the next day.

"Morning, uncle and aunt." Wu Peng greeted and said, "Have you had breakfast? If you haven't, there is a good steamed stuffed bun shop outside the community."

"Okay, okay, let's go eat together." Jia's father and mother got up early in the morning and went out without waiting for breakfast.

A few people bought breakfast at the bun shop, and just sat down to eat, when they saw that Dr. Chen had just come out of the community,

Just as Mother Jia was about to ask him to come over for dinner, Dr. Chen stopped a taxi and left.

"Is there any news? Why is he leaving in such a hurry?" Jia's mother was so anxious that she couldn't eat anymore.

Wu Peng stuffed the bun into his mouth with one hand, took out his cell phone with the other hand, and glanced at it: "I haven't received the staff information."

As soon as the voice fell, I saw that I didn't know when I was pulled into a family group called Search and Rescue, and the person who pulled the group was the staff of the Maritime Safety Administration, and the other party asked all the family members to come over quickly.

"There is news." After Wu Peng finished speaking, he didn't bother to eat, and hurried out to stop the car, and several people rushed to the office hall in a hurry.

Everyone received the news, and soon the hall was full of people.

When Wu Peng and the others arrived, there were already several family members waiting, but they did not see Dr. Chen who had hailed the car and set off earlier than them.

That Bai Xun was still wearing a baseball cap, standing alone by the side.The boy was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and sweatpants. His thin figure showed the youthfulness and restraint of a young man.

Wu Peng had seen the message he left on the staff before, and knew that he lived with his father, Baimashan, and was going to take the college entrance examination this year. He didn't know how the child survived such a big blow alone.

Thinking of his unreliable father and his mother who came to see him every few years, if it weren't for his grandfather, Wu Peng would feel like an orphan.It is precisely because he was lonely in his childhood and adolescence that Wu Peng always took extra care of this silent young man.Not only did I add him on WeChat alone, but I also sent him a copy when there was news.

It's just that every time he sent a message to him, Bai Xun only replied with an "OK" expression.Wu Peng doesn't mind either, he understands when he's adolescence.

Wu Peng knew that the search and rescue team had gone out to search for people yesterday, so today the staff called their family members over, probably talking about this matter, and there must be something to gain.

"Someone is here, someone is here." Father Jia saw a staff member in charge of this matter coming out of the office inside the hall.

"Everyone follow me into the office first."

The family members who were talking in twos and threes just now followed the staff into one of the offices in an instant.

After everyone sat down, the staff cut straight to the point: "Let's talk about the key points, everyone, please listen."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at a piece of paper in his hand and said: "After the last storm ended, we sent a search and rescue team to search for the missing 'Shell'. Two fleets, fan-shaped search, and now the first team has Returning to the port, the second team has also returned due to the weather this morning and is still on the way. The first team brought back some effective clues. Near the original destination of the Shell, they searched for a A lady's dress, the photo has already been printed. Please circulate it to see if it belongs to your relatives."

"Clothes?" Mother Jia's heart tightened, Father Jia patted her clenched hand lightly, and went to look at the photo.

Everyone scrambled to look at it, and the thin paper was in everyone's hands.

Afraid of being torn apart, the staff hurriedly said, "Don't worry, everyone can see it."

Some people looked at the picture and breathed a sigh of relief. This is a thin pink windbreaker for women. Jia Wenjun’s parents took a few glances and determined that this style is not what their daughter would like, and the daughter has high requirements for this kind of jacket for going to sea. They've seen those pieces before, and they're all from the same brand, so this one definitely doesn't belong to their daughter.

"Comrade, what do you mean by clothes?" Wu Peng asked.

"Calm down, everyone. This is just a clue. It doesn't mean what happened to the owner of the clothes. Our colleagues didn't see the corpse nearby. Please don't be nervous."

Having said that, everyone knows that if it didn't fall into the water, how could the clothes be in the sea?Even if the body can't be found, it's probably bad luck, but no one speaks out.

All the family members whose missing relatives were female circulated the photos, but none of them admitted that the clothes in the photos belonged to their relatives.

"Are all the relatives of the victims present?" The receptionist did not expect this to be the case. He counted the number of people with his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Where are Zhao Di's family members? Are Zhao Di's family members here?"

Everyone whispered and looked around: "It seems that I didn't come yesterday."

"Wait, here, here, here." Two old men and a young man ran in from the corridor, and the three who came belatedly were Zhao Di's husband Lin Yang and his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Knowing that suspicious women's clothing was found this time, the three quickly took the photos.

With just one glance, Lin Yang recognized that the clothes in the photo were exactly the sun protection jacket that Zhao Di wore when he boarded the boat.

"Ah? It's really my daughter-in-law's clothes, then my daughter-in-law is really gone!" Zhao Di's parents-in-law burst into tears.

Lin Yang was also stunned and speechless.

"Family members, don't get excited. Just finding a piece of clothing in the sea doesn't mean something really happened to Zhao Di." The receptionist hurriedly comforted him.

But the two old people didn't listen, and Zhao Di's mother-in-law pulled her son: "My son, why are you so miserable? You have just married and become a second marriage, and you have to pay off so many mortgages yourself ,This is how to do ah."

The more everyone listened, the more they felt that something was wrong. The crying and shouting of each sentence were all grievances for their son, and none of the words cared about the missing Zhao Di.
