How and why did Hu Xinyu leave the campus?
The Chengdu Commercial Daily-Red Star News reporter sorted out the main doubts in the case, and more relevant information is yet to be announced after investigation and inspection by the police and professional technical personnel.
Doubt/1
Why were the remains found near the school?
On the night of Hu Xinyu's disappearance, his family immediately rushed to the campus to look for him after learning the news. The school also organized personnel to search inside and outside the campus, but no trace of him was found.
The next day, the police and all sectors of society participated in the search and rescue.
In the next 100 days, the scope of search and rescue expanded to surrounding villages and towns, and the number of people participating in the search and rescue continued to increase, but Hu Xinyu was never found.
The reporter saw on the map that Jinji Mountain in Hekou Town, where Hu Xinyu's body was found in the report, is located near the high school of Zhiyuan Middle School, less than 100 meters away from the school.
According to Orange Persimmon Interactive news, on the morning of January 29, after the police issued a notification, a relative of Hu Xinyu expressed doubts about the location where the body was found, "This area should be behind Zhiyuan Middle School. However, our family members have also searched, but there is no trace of Xiao Hu. This matter is very strange."
At 11:41 p.m. on October 14, 2022, after receiving a call from the school, Hu Xinyu's father rushed to the school immediately, and Hu Xinyu's mother who worked in Fujian also rushed to the school the next morning to look for the child.
The staff of Zhiyuan Middle School said in an interview with the media that on the night of the incident, the school organized teachers to search the hillside, teaching buildings and outside the fence in the school, but no trace of Hu Xinyu was found.
On October 15, the principal organized all the teachers in the school to search the school including rooms, pools, roofs, attics and septic tanks, and drained the artificial lake in the school, but there was still no trace of the child.
According to the previous report of the joint work team of Jiangxi provincial, city, and county public security organs, at about 8 o'clock on October 15, 2022, Hu Mouyu's family members and teachers went to the public security organ to call the police, saying that Hu Mouyu was in Zhiyuan Middle School on the evening of October 14. He went missing within the night and searched for him all night but failed.
After receiving the alarm, the public security organ immediately accepted and dealt with it, mobilized police forces and mobilized social forces to search and issue assistance for investigation.
Emergency management, fire rescue, education and sports, urban management and other departments, in conjunction with security police, blue sky rescue, green boat rescue and other social forces, continued to search for Hu Mouyu's trace.
The reporter learned that after Hu Xinyu disappeared, 30 to 40 members of the Qianshan Green Boat Rescue Team participated in the search operation.

They also posted missing person notices and distributed missing person leaflets, but there was still no news of Hu Xinyu.
It was the dry season, and the artificial lake in the school and the pond in the park near the school were not deep.
The police and search and rescue personnel also focused on the school and the area along the river based on the two situations of active and passive loss of contact.
Actively losing contact means that Hu Xinyu may "run away".
Centered on the school, the search and rescue personnel searched the parks, abandoned factory buildings, and residential areas around the campus, and the search range radiated to several kilometers around the campus.
They also went to neighboring townships and counties to search for missing persons.
As for the passive loss of contact, that is, the situation where Hu Xinyu may be controlled by others, the search scope is mainly in the school, and the police will intervene in the investigation.
Mr. Yang said that there is a wall behind the campus, and some students had previously climbed over the wall and left the school.
Outside the wall is a hill, which can be climbed in about half an hour to reach the railway line behind the hill.
The hill is not too high, and there are not many vegetation on the hill.
Search and rescue personnel have searched on the mountain and along the railway line, but have found no signs of climbing over the wall or climbing the mountain.
According to City Express, in January this year, the local police organized a large-scale search.
Online videos showed that the search team was huge, including police officers, people in camouflage uniforms, and ordinary people.
It was raining, and the people who participated in the search were all in the dark, many of them holding umbrellas, sickles, sticks and walking sticks.
According to the report of the joint work team of the Jiangxi provincial, city, and county public security organs on January 7, around Zhiyuan Middle School, search and rescue personnel used a variety of professional technical equipment to organize and carry out 4 rounds of cross-investigation, covering 12 buildings on an area of about 90 acres in the school. 884 rooms, 11 underground pipes, 10 septic tanks, 10 hot water tanks, 9 storage tanks, 5 wells, 5 outfalls, 3 storage tanks, 2 ponds, 2 parks, 2 places 1735 biological inspection materials were extracted and inspected at the playground and a garbage dump; all students, 226 teaching staff, and 98 accompanying parents were checked by comprehensive means of various means; 82 vehicles passed by the school; 231 people including Hu Mouyu's family members, teachers, classmates, and neighbors were interviewed to learn about his study and living conditions.
Through the investigation, no trace evidence of Hu Mouyu's murder, suicide, or accident in the school was found, and no suspicious circumstances such as conflicts between Hu Mouyu and others were found.
The search and rescue personnel also searched about 589 acres of woods and hills on the south side of the school, about 200 kilometers of the Xinjiang River section from Yanshan County to Yugan County, and about 22 kilometers along the Fengfu Railway; visited 2,238 residents near the school, 159 enterprises, Drivers of 951 vans, 226 temples and Taoist temples, 25 elderly care institutions and 1 rescue station in the county; 72 ponds were investigated, and 3 reservoirs were investigated with sonar; 6471.5 hours of surveillance video were repeatedly checked and cross-checked and more than 317,000 traffic checkpoint snapshots; 4 times sent personnel to Fujian, Zhejiang and other areas where Hu Mouyu lived or may go to search.
The Qianshan County Party Committee and the County Government have extensively mobilized village cadres, mountain guards and forest guards, and the general public, and carried out three rounds of search work throughout the county.
At the same time, authoritative criminal investigation, criminal technology, video technology and psychological experts were invited to participate in the investigation and search work, and a clue investigation report was issued to 25 provincial public security organs, and 378 clues were excluded from the verification.
