Inside an office at the scenic area.
Across from Ye Yuan sat a uniformed middle-aged man who looked to be around forty.
"We already know about the situation.
We sent people out to search this morning.
But since the location of the incident is already inside the Protected Area, it isn't part of the scenic area.
So the search will take time."
When Ye Yuan and Ye Hui arrived at the hotel, they were told that the police had already taken the phone.
The two of them then came directly to the scenic area police station.
After explaining who they were, they heard the previous exchange.
"Is there no other way? Could you check the surveillance footage and see what exactly happened?"
Ye Yuan looked at the uniformed man as he spoke.
"I'm sorry. Although surveillance cameras have been installed in the Protected Area,
they don't provide full coverage, and the place where the incident occurred happens to be outside their range!"
The uniformed man gave a bitter smile and shook his head. If there had been footage, they would have checked it long before Ye Yuan asked.
Despite repeated warnings that tourists were forbidden from entering the Protected Area, plenty of people still sneaked in every year.
They called it wilderness survival, but in reality, they were just looking for trouble.
No one understood the dangers inside the Protected Area better than they did.
Not to mention the dense jungle.
Even the wild animals inside the Protected Area were not something ordinary people could handle.
They had put some measures in place to deal with this sort of thing, but there were simply too many people.
Every year, the number of people sneaking into the Protected Area was frighteningly high.
Fortunately, most of them only moved around the outskirts.
