At 3:27 in the afternoon, the search was still ongoing.
Xiao001 drifted downstream along the south side of Zhuangming Island. Han Yu, observing the situation on the spot, asked Deputy Captain Liu of the Zhuangming Police Department's Security Team, who boarded the ship in the morning, to contact the police on the shore to organize forces to assist in the search.
Zhuangming Island is large, with many rivers on the island and many waterways leading to the river along Yanjiang.
Every day, thousands of ships of various sizes traverse the river, and the waves created by the large ships can sweep the floating objects on the river to the shore and even into the river channels.
This meant that the search must not only be conducted on the river but also consider the river channels leading to the river.
