At noon that day, in the wilderness of Luling city, Xijiang province.
Luling city was adjacent to Beicang city, less than 50 kilometers apart. It was named so because the Luling River, a tributary of the GaN River, the largest river in Xijiang province, flowed through this place.
Zhao Yu and his team arrived here, led by the local experts. If the clues they found were right, then the location where Yun Duo’ er killed Wei Qiqi and the video was taken was in this area.
“The turret collapsed in 2010!” As the group entered the search area, Miao Ying explained to Zhao Yu,”the guardhouse was indeed built during the Anti-Japanese War. We found a local modern history expert, and according to the information they provided, we can almost be sure that the building in the murder video is this kind of guardhouse!
“Among them, a collector has provided us with the location of all the turrets and their specific information. According to our analysis, the one closest to the video is right here!”
Following Miao Ying’s introduction, Zhao Yu, who was standing at a high point, could see a large river flowing in the distance. On the east bank of the river, there were dense bushes, and on the edge of the bushes, there was a vast forest area.
As soon as he arrived, Zhao Yu felt the blood in his body flow faster, because the plants in the forest before his eyes were very similar to the scene in the video of Wei Qiqi’s murder.
Not long after the group entered the forest, Zhao Yu saw a plant called the winter silver flower among the low bushes. This plant had white oval-shaped flowers, and its appearance was indeed very similar to dandelions.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but feel even more excited. His heart was filled with hope. It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the answer that they had been dreaming of!
After a quarter of an hour, the group passed through the forest and came to a higher place near the river. They finally saw the ruins of the turret.
Only the base of the collapsed turret was left. There were gravel and rubble everywhere. Against the damp and cold air by the river, it looked particularly bleak.
“In the video of Wei Qiqi’s murder, you can see some stars on the upper left side of the turret …” Miao Ying continued.”Through the identification of the astronomers, they recognized that a few stars belonged to the Western Pisces constellation. That is to say, the location where Wei Qiqi was killed should be on the east side of the turret!
“Look …” Miao Ying showed Zhao Yu a set of data on her mobile phone.”This is the approximate distance calculated by the experts based on the video.
“Based on this distance, we have narrowed the search area to less than 10000 square meters. Someone has already checked it just now, and the vegetation covering that area matches the height of the scene in the video!”
“Mm …” Zhao Yu nodded and said,”that is to say, we can start now?”
“Right!” Miao Ying said,”all the departments are ready. Zhang Peipei’s forensic team has also arrived at the scene. Once they find any suspicious bones, they will deal with them and compare them immediately!”
“Very good,” Zhao Yu said, waving his hand.”Then what are you waiting for? Make your move!”
With Zhao Yu’s order, the police and scientific researchers, who were already prepared, got into action. They carried out a detailed search in the designated area.
“I don’t know if this is considered lucky …” Miao Ying said to Zhao Yu after the construction started.”I just asked the hydrology and environmental experts, and they said that the river in the distance is called the Taiping River. Because of its remote location, there hasn’t been much change in the past 20 years. It’s almost the same as before!”
Hu … Hu …
The cold, wet wind by the river blew across Zhao Yu’s cheeks. Zhao Yu pouted, looked at the scenery in front of him, and said,”
“There’s no one here. This place … Is really a good place to kill!” His eyes were filled with sorrow as he sighed.”No wonder Yun Duo’ er could be so calm even when she was killing people in the wild!
“Not to mention that Wei Qiqi’s mouth was sealed, even if she really screamed, no one would be able to hear her, right?”
“Amitabha, Amitabha!” Upon hearing this, cui Lizhu clenched her hands and prayed again.”I hope those girls will help us find Wei Qiqi!” She said.
“As long as we can find Wei Qiqi, we can help you clear your name …”
Zhao Yu observed the local environment carefully and said,””This place isn’t close to the road, and the ground near the forest is a little soft. It doesn’t seem easy for a car to drive in!
“If …” He pondered and said,”Wei Qiqi was carried into the forest by Yun Duo’ er, then … She couldn’t have gone too far!
“Let’s go!” Then, Zhao Yu walked towards the search area and said,”let’s go over and see if we can help.”
The reason why Zhao Yu was so eager to try, of course, had another purpose. His so-called help was not to give advice, but because he had more powerful skills that he had not used.
As soon as he entered the search area, he immediately turned on a new invisible tracker, ready to use the tracker to sniff out the smell of the chemical and then find the bones.
However, just as he put the tracker on, he suddenly heard a bright and urgent whistle from somewhere in the search area!
If someone blew the whistle, it meant that something had been found there. The people nearby immediately surrounded the place where the whistle was blown …
I’ll cut!
Zhao Yu still wanted to show off and show off! However, he didn’t expect that the limelight would be stolen so quickly …
Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, and cui Lizhu quickly ran over. When they arrived, they saw a technician with an electronic device in his hand, measuring something in a Reed field.
However, there were reeds as tall as a person there, blocking most of the People’s vision. When Zhao Yu got closer, he realized that there was an oval-shaped dent at the roots of the reeds.
There were also reeds growing in the collapsed area, but they were obviously not as thick as those in other places. Moreover, the shape and size of the collapsed area also looked like a pit used to bury corpses!
Could it be …
Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that the experts had said that, because the soil in West River was soft, the surface of the body would have a special depression after being buried for many years.
Could it be …
At this moment, the device in the technician’s hand flashed. The technician was excited and hurriedly waved to the police officers.
The next second, the rumbling sound of an engine was heard from behind the crowd. An excavator that had been prepared long ago rumbled over!
But …
Zhao Yu followed the crowd and retreated to the side, but he was still mumbling in his heart.
Although the technician’s electronic pulse device found something unusual, Zhao Yu’s invisible tracking device didn’t have any reaction.
Hence, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but wonder if he would make any mistakes. Or did he find the wrong body?
As time passed, not only Zhao Yu and the others, but also the other search personnel at the scene were all gathered there, waiting nervously.
“Stop!”
When the excavator had dug to a certain depth, the personnel at the edge of the pit immediately shouted to stop the excavator.
Next, three or four workers entered the pit with hoes and shovels and began to carefully excavate.
As the location was low-lying, during the excavation process, a lot of muddy water gushed out from the ground. In order to prevent any possible damage to the bones, the workers could only use the water pump to draw water while digging carefully.
“Tsk tsk …”
At this time, Zhao Yu heard Zhang Peipei smacking her lips, who was next to him. He saw that Zhang Peipei’s expression was serious and she looked extremely worried.
Zhao Yu knew that the water leakage in the pit was serious, and it would definitely destroy the evidence on the bones, which would be very bad for the evidence collection work in the future.
If the evidence had really been destroyed, then even if they found Wei Qiqi’s body, it would probably not be of much use …
“Oh oh oh … Stop! Stop! Quickly stop!” Just as Zhao Yu was lost in thought, he heard a worker’s shout from the pit,”look! There’s something here!”
