As the convoy traveled through the mountains and forests, the roar of the engines broke the silence of the mountains and startled the birds along the way.
The team of people who entered the mountains obviously knew that it was difficult to be completely secretive with so many people working together, so they didn't bother to cover up their movements.
The drivers of the convoy were not as skilled as Zhang Heng, but with the superior performance of the off-road vehicle and the help of a team of engineers, they successfully arrived at the place where Zhang Heng's Polo was.
The three people in the lead SUV got out of the car. Looking at the river in front of them, the man wearing sunglasses said, "I don't think his Polo can make it. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by driving skills."
"Where's his car?" A tanned man looked around and asked.
"It may have been washed down." Another person pointed in the direction of the waterfall.
"Send someone to descend and take a look," the man in sunglasses finally said, "I have a hunch that he should be nearby."
Fifteen minutes later, the diver who descended to the bottom of the waterfall returned and reported that he had indeed seen the wreckage of the car underwater. So the people in the convoy also got out of the car, forming teams of six, and began to carefully search for traces of human activities nearby.
This time, the three major guilds were fully prepared. There were many experts in the convoy who were good at tracking footprints, and they even brought hounds with them.
The dog trainer gave Zhang Heng's belongings that he found in the school to the hounds. After that, he released the hounds, and the group soon found a cave on the cliff.
The man in sunglasses led the two teams into the large cave that was slightly lower in elevation.
They were very careful along the way, and they waited for the sniper to aim at the entrance of the cave before poking his head in. In the end, they only saw an old man inside.
The man in sunglasses looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else in the cave, he put away the rifle in his hand and swaggered in. At the same time, he said to the old man who was mending clothes in front of him, "Old man, have you seen a man? He is about the same height as me. Well, his face is always expressionless, and he looks like a tough guy."
The old man raised his head, his expression somewhat blank and fearful, but he still shook his head.
The man in the sunglasses burst out laughing. He walked to the stone table in the middle of the cave and picked up the bottle of Good Saving Multivitamin from it. "Don't tell me you bought this online. Even the postal service can't get it in here."
On the other side, the two teams that came with him also searched the cave. After a while, they found more things that they had brought from outside, including but not limited to a bag of beef jerky, Amoxili pills, and a blanket.
However, one of them returned to the man in sunglasses. "I didn't find any toiletries. It seems like he doesn't live here."
The man in sunglasses did not say anything when he heard that. He just walked up to the old man, squatted down, and smiled. "Old man, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. On the contrary, the person who gave you these things is the real bad guy. He has killed a lot of people, and his hands are stained with blood. He fled all the way here to escape the punishment of the law. For the safety of you and your family, we hope you can cooperate with us and bring this dangerous thug to justice as soon as possible."
However, the old man still shook his head and pointed to his mouth.
"Are you mute?" The man in sunglasses moved his eyes to the old man's injured leg. "Or, did he take care of you and you don't want to betray your savior?"
The man in sunglasses said as he reached out and knocked on the wooden board opposite the old man. "How long has it been? Did you get injured when you met him? Don't be fooled by him. Based on our understanding of him, he's very cunning. Maybe he was the one who injured your leg. Ha, I know what you're thinking, but believe me, if he wanted to scheme against someone, most ordinary people wouldn't even know how he did it until they die.
"Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Your leg was injured, and he just happened to appear and save you. So, you brought him to your place. Little did you know, you led a wolf into the house."
The old man kept shaking his head.
The man in sunglasses finally lost his patience. Just then, another person walked into the cave. "The Hound found another cave. That should be his residence. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Of course." The man in sunglasses stood up and retracted his gaze from the old man. "There's nothing else to investigate in this place. Leave a team here to prevent him from sneaking back. The rest of you, follow me."
The group walked along the cliff and soon came to another cave. This time, the man in sunglasses finally showed a look of surprise. In fact, he was not the only one. The rest of the team behind him were a little stunned when they saw the scene in the cave.
"Did he … dismantle his car?" the man with tanned skin said in surprise.
"Why did he move the engine and the fuel tank here? Hmm, even the back seat was removed to make a bed, and the reading lamp was used for illumination. He really didn't let go of any parts that could be used, "another person said.
Other than that, they also found some sharpened branches under a stone wall. It seemed that someone wanted to make arrows out of them, but they didn't have time to finish it. A set of clothes, a set of toiletries, and a half-empty bottle of mineral water. Other than that, there was nothing else in the cave. It was ridiculously clean.
"He already knows we're here," the man in sunglasses said. The man wearing sunglasses said. He picked up the bottle of mineral water and sniffed it, only to find that it actually smelled like peaches.
"This is not surprising. After all, we made a lot of noise when we came here. But if this is the case, is he planning to hide in a deeper place in the mountain to avoid me?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as he appears in my sight once, he won't be able to escape again," the man in sunglasses said confidently.
But after that, he looked at the engine and fuel tank in the cave again. He was a little confused. If Zhang Heng just wanted to light up the cave, why would he spend so much effort to dismantle so many things from the car and carry them back?
However, the search operation had already begun, and there was no time for him to think about such questions. The man wearing sunglasses asked someone to bring the hounds in, and they sniffed the smell in the cave, especially the smell left on the clothes. The six hounds soon began to bark, and one by one, they rushed out of the cave.
