The 23-year-old man lost contact for 8 days, his family is looking for
Li Maoning lost contact with his family on January 11.
According to their father, Mr. Li, they are from Langzhong, Nanchong. Their son is 23 years old this year. He has graduated from college for a year and works in a company in Chengdu; he and his wife work in Wenzhou, Zhejiang.
"Usually we contacted via WeChat and phone, but on the 11th, he didn't reply whether he sent WeChat or called."
Mr. Li introduced that on the night of the 11th, even after midnight the next day, he called his son many times, but no one answered the call.
"Usually if he didn't receive the call, he would come back later, but he never answered the call that day."
On the 12th, Mr. Li still did not wait for his son's call back, and his son's call was still unanswered.
Subsequently, the phone has been turned off.
"There has never been such a situation before, (we) must be a little worried." Mr. Li introduced that until the 13th, he still couldn't contact his son.
Later, Mr. Li contacted the company where his son worked in Chengdu, but the company informed his son that he had left the company earlier.
"At this time, (we) definitely can't sit still anymore." Mr. Li immediately reported to the police in the jurisdiction where his son lives, and he hurried from Wenzhou to Chengdu to look for his son.
And until January 19, the son was still not found.
The last figure appeared in Qingcheng Mountain
After calling the police, the police reported an important clue to Mr. Li.
After inquiring about Li Maoning's identity information, the police found that on the 11th, he had purchased a train ticket from Chengdu to Qingcheng Mountain.
The police speculated that Li Maoning was probably visiting the Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area.
After receiving the news, Mr. Li hurried to Qingcheng Mountain and sought help from the local police station and scenic spot.
With the help of the staff in the scenic spot, Li Maoning was finally discovered.
The monitoring screen showed that Li Maoning entered the ticket gate of the scenic spot at 11:22 am on the 11th, and then visited the Shangqing Palace, Ciyun Pavilion and other scenic spots, and then appeared at a pavilion in the Siwangguan area at 14:16.
This is also his final scene in the scenic spot.
"Only the scene of him entering the scenic spot was photographed, but there was no scene that came out, indicating that he may have been inside or out of the scenic spot from other places." Mr. Li introduced, "The place where he appeared last is up or down. None of the surveillance cameras caught him."
Mr. Li judged that his son probably walked into the blind spot of surveillance in an area where he looked around, and finally lost contact.
According to the introduction from the staff of the scenic spot, Siwangguan has an intersection leading to Yuanming Palace and Yuqing Palace, but because it is not a scenic spot, it has not been opened for the time being and there is no monitoring.
As a result, the surrounding area with the four-view area as the center of the circle became the place Mr. Li focused on.
The Chengdu Commercial Daily-Red Star News reporter learned that the staff of the scenic spot, rescuers of the Blue Sky Rescue Team and local police are still searching inside and outside the scenic spot.
Father: He has a strong ability to live independently
Why did Li Maoning lose contact in this way?
Has it encountered any pressure and difficulties?
In this regard, Mr. Li introduced that he had thought about whether he had encountered problems at work, but the possibility was unlikely.
My son graduated from junior college in 2019 and worked as an intern at a company in Xiamen. He came to Chengdu to work in 2020.
"He said that the salary is not very high, and he wants to resign, change around in Chengdu, and then go back to his hometown early to celebrate the Spring Festival. We also support his idea, and the family conditions are relatively good. It is okay for him to resign and go back sooner. It just so happened that he didn't return home because of the internship last Spring Festival, so it's good to go back early this year."
As for whether his son is under any pressure, Mr. Li cannot say.
In his view, in the previous contact, his son has not shown anything unusual, and at the same time, his son has a strong ability to live independently and is unlikely to be easily defeated.
"He lived on campus when he was in middle and high school, and when he was in college, he has always lived on his own, is very independent, and can handle many things on his own."
Currently, the search is still going on. If you have seen the guy in the photo, you can get in touch with Mr. Li: 15858834101.
