Previously, Zhao Yu had a question. Why would Yang Wentao appear near the Qinshan Reservoir?
He thought about it for a long time but could not figure it out. But after Detective Zhang's curse, he suddenly figured it out! The mystery was in those two words — familiarity!
Yang Wentao chose to kill and dump the body at the Qinshan Reservoir, and after escaping, he came to this place. What did this mean? It meant that he was very familiar with the area!
That's right!
He knew this place too well. He knew that this was a good place to hide from the police!
Zhao Yu looked at Yang Wentao's information. He was not a Qinshan local, nor did he have any relatives living near the reservoir. He was not a fishing enthusiast, nor was he an outdoor sports expert! Logically, he should not be familiar with this place!
Then … what was the reason for him to be familiar with this place?
Thinking along this line of thought, Zhao Yu quickly thought of another word — work!
Yang Wentao was a member of the Science and Technology Bureau. Could it be because of work that he was so familiar with this place? Zhao Yu had never been a civil servant, so he knew nothing about the Science and Technology Bureau.
But his phone could go online. After a simple search, he quickly understood the work of the Science and Technology Bureau. Although the Science and Technology Bureau basically did research in the office, after some large research projects were approved, they still had to do a lot of field research.
Environment, hydrology, medicine, agriculture — as long as there was a research project, it could be linked to them.
Could it be … Yang Wentao had done some research project related to the Qinshan Reservoir? For example, the fishery environment of the reservoir, water management, and so on … That's why he was so familiar with this place?
Then … did he know that there was a place near the reservoir that was especially suitable for him to hide, and that he was hiding there?!
After thinking about it, Zhao Yu felt that he might have found the key point.
So he immediately called Peng Xin and asked her if she had any information on Yang Wentao's work history, and if he had participated in any large research projects, especially ones related to Qinshan.
Hearing Zhao Yu's question, Peng Xin was surprised. She did not understand why Zhao Yu wanted these things.
Since Yang Wentao had committed murder, and it was a crime of passion, Peng Xin had no need to investigate Yang Wentao's work history.
After Yang Wentao escaped, she basically put all her energy into Yang Wentao's interpersonal relationships, and did not consider his work!
Zhao Yu wasn't sure if his train of thought was correct, so he told Peng Xin his suspicions. Peng Xin agreed with Zhao Yu's idea and immediately sent people to investigate.
Zhao Yu thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but when he drove to the gas station, Peng Xin replied.
On the phone, Peng Xin seemed very excited. "Yu! You're really too amazing! We just called Yang Wentao's colleague and asked about it. Guess what? His colleague said that five years ago, Yang Wentao was in charge of an old silver mine exploration and transformation project in Yinpan Mountain!
"That project lasted for three years. They came to the site countless times! But in the end, because of funding issues, it was put on hold! "
Silver mine!?
Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows. He had thought that it would be a project related to the Qinshan Reservoir! He didn't expect it to be a silver mine.
Wait a minute …
Yinpan Mountain?
Yinpan Town?
Zhao Yu tried to recall, and he was immediately shocked!
Holy sh * t!
Isn't this Yinpan Mountain's Yinpan Town the place I'm planning to go to today? It was located on the east side of the reservoir!
Oh …
Oh my god!
Zhao Yu had goosebumps all over his body. Could it be … Yang Wentao had been hiding in the abandoned mining area of Yinpan Mountain?
Yinpan Mountain was very close to the reservoir. If he walked, it would only take a few hours …
Just as Zhao Yu was thinking, Peng Xin spoke.
"Yu, what a pity! If only we had thought of this earlier. That guy must have been hiding in the mining area, but now he's heading west. He's definitely not there anymore! "
Zhao Yu wanted to say something, but because he wasn't sure, he didn't say it.
"How about this!" Peng Xin said. "We have limited manpower right now. I'll send Da Fei and Xiao Li to the mining area to investigate. Bro, you can go and investigate as well. The three of you can split up and see if you can find anything."
"Okay!" Zhao Yu nodded. Actually, even without Peng Xin's instructions, he had already planned to go to Yinpan Town.
Zhao Yu felt that his decision to go to the east side of the reservoir in the morning and the reminder about the mining area might not be a coincidence!
Plus, the system had given him a "Gen" hexagram, which represented work. Maybe he could really get something from going to Yinpan Town!
So, after filling up the tank, he headed straight for Yinpan Mountain.
Detective Zhang was right. Although the mountain was not too high from Yulangdian to Yinpan Mountain, there were quite a few cliffs on both sides of the road. Zhao Yu had to be extremely careful while driving.
Zhao Yu didn't even have time to eat lunch. He drove to his destination, Yinpan Town.
Yinpan Mountain got its name because there was a silver mine in ancient times. It was located at the beginning of the Qinshan mountain range, and there were no tall mountains. It was said that the silver mine was still being mined until the eighties, but the scale was very small. After entering the twenty-first century, it was completely abandoned!
Yinpan Mountain's land was barren, and the vegetation coverage was extremely low. As far as the eye could see, there were barren mountains everywhere.
Yinpan Town was also pitifully small. There was only one main street in the town. There were not many restaurants, and the hygiene was extremely bad. Zhao Yu could not stand it, so he bought a few packets of instant noodles to fill his stomach.
At that time, even though it was almost sunset, Zhao Yu still carried out his investigation. He took Yang Wentao's photo and started going from house to house.
After he had visited half the street, the sky was completely dark. Zhao Yu found the best hotel in the town to stay in.
Although it was the best hotel, it did not even have a bathroom to shower in. Washing up and using the toilet had to be done in public.
Zhao Yu felt that the room had a sour smell. After a quick dinner, he squatted at the entrance of the hotel and drank beer while thinking about his investigation.
After the investigation, no one claimed to have seen Yang Wentao. It seemed that Yang Wentao had never been here. He was most likely hiding deep in the mining area.
According to the information, although the mining area of Yinpan Mountain was sparsely populated, the area was not small. In the entire mountain, there were mines and caves everywhere. Some of the caves could even be traced back to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The caves were also interconnected. Even the people living in the mountains did not dare to go in.
Yang Wentao had done research on the mining area before, so he must have a deep understanding of the situation. If he went in headfirst, how could he find him?
The night in the mountains was extremely cold, and the air was chilly. There were not many street lights in the town, and many of them were broken. This made the dusk even darker.
He didn't know when, but a German Shepherd had wandered over from the back of the hotel. When it saw Zhao Yu, it looked at him weakly. Without barking, it curled up its body and lay down next to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu glanced at it. The wolfdog was not small. It had a yellow body and a black head. Its body was covered in mud, and it was very dirty.
What was worse was that one of the wolfdog's eyes seemed to have been severely injured. It was tightly glued together. It looked like it was blind!
"Blind dog?
Sigh! "
Zhao Yu shook his head, and could not help but feel pity for it. He remembered that there was still half a bag of beef jerky in the car, so he got up and took it out. He tossed the remaining beef jerky to the half-blind dog.
The half-blind dog was probably starving, and immediately began to gulp down the food.
Zhao Yu found that the car seat was quite comfortable, so he sat down and turned on the radio. Unexpectedly, an old song called "The Waves" was playing on the radio.
"Can't see, can't hear, can't think, can't touch, can't rely on two people …
"One person, one dog, one glass of wine, one night, and grow old in an instant …"
"One person, one dog?"
Zhao Yu looked at the half-blind dog outside the car window and shook his head. "This song is quite appropriate …"
"Hey?
Wait a minute … "
