“This hole was previously covered by a stone!” Bian Dong translated for the discoverer.”If we don’t look for it deliberately, it’s not easy to find!”
“Yes …” Zhao Yu nodded as he measured the distance between the two small holes and their positions. After weighing the pros and cons for a few seconds, he raised his arm and said,”keep looking!”
Thus, everyone began to dig the ground again.
Although no one knew what these two small holes represented, everyone was looking more and more enthusiastically.
After a while, another police officer raised his hand. He found another small hole a dozen meters away.
Very quickly, the good news came one after another. Including the one that Zhao Yu had found, the group found a total of five identical holes in the open space!
Zhao Yu quickly found that the positions of the five small holes were not irregular, but there was a pattern to it.
Among them, the one he had found in the middle was surrounded by four small holes on the two sides, located at the four corners. If it was connected to the middle, there would be a slanted cross!
This …
“Detective Zhao …” Bian Dong also saw the problem, and said to Zhao Yu,”such a long distance, if it is used to fix some kind of equipment, then … This equipment must be quite big, right?”
“But …” Zhao Yu pointed to the small hole under his feet and said,”the hole is so small, which means that the thing that needs to be fixed is not heavy, right?”
“Then …” Bian Dong really couldn’t think of what these small holes were used for.
“Let’s find another professional to ask!” “I don’t know,” Zhao Yu said.”Is it the usual equipment of the exploration team?”
“Mm …” Bian Dong nodded, and then thought of a possibility.”Do you think it’s a bonfire party held by the exploration team to fix the fire rack or something?”
“I don’t see any traces of fire on the ground!” Zhao Yu shook his head, then ordered,”hurry up and send someone to measure the distance between each small hole, and then present it on the map as soon as possible!
“And …” Zhao Yu said again,”send someone to search the camp to see if there are any pile driving tools. We have to at least make sure that these small holes were not made by the exploration team.
“If not, then it might be related to the missing person case!”
“I understand, I understand!” Bian Dong nodded.”I’ll … I’ll go and arrange it …”
After that, Bian Dong began to gather his men and did as Zhao Yu had instructed …
Hmm …
Zhao Yu looked at the small hole under his feet, his face still full of worry.
Although the five small holes were novel to him, he still couldn’t associate them with the kidnapping case.
After all, this was the base of the exploration team. It seemed normal for a few small holes to appear on the ground, right?
He seemed to have thought of something. He picked up a thin branch from the ground and stuck it into the small hole in the ground, trying to find out the depth of the hole.
In the end, the branch was too brittle and broke before it even went down.
There was!
Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that there was an invisible measuring device in his system, which was specially used to measure. After a long period of accumulation, he had accumulated nearly a hundred of these low-level props.
Zhao Yu had been depressed about this. He wasn’t in the construction industry, so he didn’t know what the measuring device was for.
Now, it seemed that it would be a waste not to use it!
The measuring device was quite easy to use. After Zhao Yu aimed the measuring arrow, the display quickly showed the depth of the hole.
43 centimeters …
Nearly half a meter …
Zhao Yu pondered, what could this number represent?
Eh?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly discovered a new suspicious situation under the light of his invisible flashlight.
He found that on the ground on one side of the hole, the gravel seemed to have been divided into two sides by something, leaving a long and thin trace in the middle …
Oh …
Zhao Yu suddenly thought of a noun,”Xuanji rope”!
If he guessed correctly, it should have been left behind by the friction of the rope on the ground.
Right!
Zhao Yu stood in front of the hole, and an image appeared in his mind.
One of them used a hammer to hammer a sharpened iron rod, and the iron rod was hit into the hard ground.
Then, he tied a rope to the iron bar to secure something in the distance.
After fixing the rope, he stood at the iron pile to retrieve the rope, which left such a mark on the ground.
However … Since it had been a long time, the mark was not so obvious anymore …
From this, it seemed that his previous speculation was correct. The use of the small hole was to fix things!
But … What was it?
Could this fixed object be related to the disappearance of the exploration team?
……
A few hours later.
Late at night, Zhao Yu seemed to be possessed.
It was almost midnight, but he was still sitting in front of the lamp, staring at the sketch on the paper. He was still stubbornly analyzing the five small holes that had suddenly been discovered.
Before this, Bian Dong had already consulted the relevant experts, but the experts were unable to determine what the small hole was used to fix.
The cross …
Zhao Yu connected the five small holes and drew a crooked and flat cross. He found that the four small holes on the outer edge were about the same distance from the middle hole, between seventeen to twenty meters.
If one looked at it separately, the two holes on the left and the hole in the middle could form an equilateral triangle.
Zhao Yu understood that this was the legendary triangular fixation. In this way, the thing that was fixed in the center of the triangle would be more stable!
The five small holes could form two equilateral triangles.
In other words, the five holes were used to hold two objects of the same size!
From the looks of it …
Zhao Yu couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Because no matter how he looked at it, the object that was fixed in place looked like a tent! It was very likely that someone had left these five small holes in a regular pattern in order to secure the two tents!
Moreover, only tents were more suitable for such thin iron or wooden stakes. If it was a large machine, then the ground would not be left with small holes.
It seemed like …
Zhao Yu let out a heavy breath, and an idea formed in his mind.
Perhaps, the exploration team had once obtained a batch of supplies, and in order to protect them, they had set up two tents on the open space of the camp, thus leaving behind those five strange small holes.
But … Not long before the exploration team’s accident, the supplies were transported away, so the exploration team tore down the tents, so …
Wait a minute …
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu suddenly had a new idea.
That’s right!
He excitedly thought that he had the phones of the exploration team members! If he looked for photos related to the camp from his mobile phone, would he be able to confirm the tent’s problem?
A genius!
Zhao Yu smacked his forehead and was about to summon up all his energy, so he quickly took out his phone to check the photos.
However, his phone rang first.
He took it out and saw that it was the alarm clock he had set to remind him that it was midnight and he could open a new hexagram.
For the past few days, as Zhao Yu had no way to solve the case, the side adventures he had opened every day ended early, and today was no exception.
Therefore, when he saw that it was already 12 o’ clock, he did not hesitate to open a new hexagram!
However, for some unknown reason, when he opened the hexagram, Zhao Yu suddenly felt an electric shock, as if he had been struck by lightning.
The next second, when he looked at the hexagram that he had already opened, his entire body instantly froze!
He saw three big words appear in the middle of the system: “Qian Kun Gen”!
