recently, a short video blogger named "mengsheguojiang" released a video saying that he accidentally found ma mouyuan, a 25-year-old man who lost contact in early july this year while biking the "aotai line" in the qinling mountains in shaanxi. on september 3, a red star news reporter learned from the huangbaiyuan police station of the second branch of the shaanxi provincial forest public security bureau that ma mouyuan had indeed been found, but unfortunately he had died, and the police had ruled out the possibility of a criminal case.

on the 3rd, red star news interviewed mr. meng (pseudonym), the blogger who discovered ma mouyuan. according to his recollection, at noon on august 12, he rode a bicycle from the pond mouth of the "aotai line" and found ma mouyuan's tent when he was 4 kilometers away from aotailiang.

in the missing person notice issued by ma mouyuan's family earlier, it was mentioned that the suspected location of his disappearance might be near the "2900 aoshan" location. "the suspected location of the missing person, '2900 aoshan', is only seven or eight kilometers away from aoshan, but that location is nearly 30 kilometers away from where the tent was found," said mr. meng.

mr. meng mentioned that there was no mobile phone signal at the place where ma's round tent was found. in order to report his findings to the local police, mr. meng crossed a section of abandoned forest road and waded through the river carrying a bicycle. his video showed that he even encountered black bears and wild boars during this journey. in the end, it took about 4 hours and about 20 kilometers of mountain roads for mr. meng to reach a place with mobile phone signal.

"i rode for about another hour to reach the police station and handed over the photos and videos of the victims and the location where they were found to the police." mr. meng said that although he saw a reward of 100,000 yuan on the missing person notice for ma mouyuan when he entered the mountain, he took the initiative to give up the reward for various reasons.

"aotai line" is the name given by hikers, which is a main line running between the two main peaks of qinling mountains, aoshan and taibai mountain baxiantai. the straight-line distance is more than 40 kilometers, and the actual distance is more than 170 kilometers. because it is located in the core area of ​​taibai mountain national nature reserve, it is illegal to cross it without authorization. red star news reporters checked relevant information and found that as early as 2018, mei county and taibai county in shaanxi province jointly issued an announcement to completely ban the "zhengtai crossing" activity.

on september 3, the police from the huangbaiyuan police station of the second branch of the shaanxi provincial forest public security bureau confirmed to the red star news reporter that the missing ma mouyuan had indeed been found. "it was an unnatural death, but the possibility of a criminal case has been ruled out, and the case has been closed."
