"Love and hate in an instant, raising a glass to the moon …"
A familiar song came from the bumpy Great Wall Haver. Zhao Yu didn't know if it was because of the strong bumping or the bad signal, but the song was intermittent.
However, Zhao Yu still felt a little strange. The car was driving on the vast plateau of Tarstan, and he was already thousands of kilometers away in a foreign country.
However, the China elements that could be seen everywhere made him feel as if he were still in China.
The car was an old Great Wall Harvard, and the song playing on the radio was the popular and authentic "The New Drunken Concubine." There wasn't even a foreign translation.
In addition, the driver was smoking Hongtashan, and the Bosideng that he was wearing made it impossible to tell that he was in a foreign country.
Here, only the plateau villages that appeared from time to time on both sides of the highway, as well as some road signs, looked slightly foreign.
The cold wind whistled outside the car window, and the huge temperature difference caused a layer of water vapor to form on the car window.
Zhao Yu, who was sitting in the back seat, wiped off the layer of water vapor and looked out the window.
Outside was a vast and boundless wilderness. There were some places with green grass and herds of cows, but most of the places were barren and desolate.
"Hahaha, I've heard so much about you." Then, a young man sitting in the passenger seat said, "My hometown is in Jin 'an, so I've heard about the Headless Female Corpses Case since I was young. It left a deep impression on me!
"I didn't expect such a difficult case to be solved by you. You deserve to be called the Cold Case Cleaner. If there's a chance …" The young man said sincerely, "Can you tell me about it? Although I've read the introduction of the case, I think the real case must be even more thrilling, right? "
The young man's name was Bian Dong, and he was an assistant specially sent by the Secret Service to Zhao Yu.
He was a logistical staff member of the Secret Service stationed in Tarstan, not an official agent. However, he had lived in Tarstan for many years, so he knew the situation here like the back of his hand.
"Well, if there is a chance!" He then went straight to the point and asked, "Now, tell me, how did Tarstan react after the disappearance of the missing persons case?"
"Okay …" The young man had already handed Zhao Yu a cigarette before. He knew that Zhao Yu didn't smoke, so he lit one for himself and said, "The relationship between the two countries is very close. With such a big incident happening, the higher-ups of Tarstan naturally attach great importance to it. They have already sent troops to search the mountains near the exploration team.
"But …" Bian Dong did not look too optimistic. "You also know that the Tauz Plateau occupies almost a third of Tarstan's land area. There are large areas of uninhabited areas and mountains. The terrain is complex and desolate.
"So, you can imagine the difficulty of the search! Do you know? " Bian Dong took a drag of his cigarette and said, "There are only 25 civilian helicopters in the entire Tarstan, and 10 of them have expired and can't take off!"
"Oh …"
Zhao Yu agreed, but he was thinking that if the disappearance of the exploration team was really related to the terrorists, it would be difficult to rely on the search alone.
"Although I don't know how many military helicopters there are," Bian Dong said. "They must have sent all of them out to help!
"They're really scared out of their wits about this!" Bian Dong said. "Among the 12 people, two-thirds of them are China people. If something really happens, no one can bear the responsibility!
Now is the sensitive period of the election, and the opposition parties and conspirators are ready to take action. Maybe, it will really become a fuse, and it will get out of hand! "
Listening to Bian Dong's introduction, Zhao Yu looked at his watch silently. At that moment, he had already left the capital airport of Tarstan and had been in the car for more than two hours.
Because of the long distance and poor road conditions, it would take them at least five hours to arrive. Now that the sun was about to set, it would be late at night by the time they arrived at the exploration team's base.
In fact, if it weren't for the time difference, it would already be ten o 'clock in the evening in China. If it had been an ordinary case, Zhao Yu would have stayed in the capital of Tarstan for the night and set off the next day.
However, the exploration team's case was very urgent, so Zhao Yu decided to travel overnight.
At first, he had applied for helicopter assistance, but Tarstan's conditions were too limited to meet Zhao Yu's requirements. So, he could only drive there.
"By the way, Police Officer Zhao …" Bian Dong thought of something and said to Zhao Yu mysteriously, "After the accident, I haven't been to the scene, but I heard from my colleagues at the front that the disappearance of the exploration team seems to be a little strange!"
"Huh? Strange? "Zhao Yu was surprised. This was the first time he had heard such a thing.
"Yes!" Bian Dong whispered. "Although the exploration team is small, there are armed guards, and almost everyone has a gun!
Moreover, among the missing people, there are four people in charge of security. Two of them are excellent soldiers in the peacekeeping force, and the other two are police officers of the Tarstan Border Department.
These four people are carefully selected security personnel. They take turns to be on duty every day to ensure the safety of the exploration team! "
"Oh …" Hearing Bian Dong's words, Zhao Yu immediately understood why some people thought the disappearance case was a little strange.
"You see," Bian Dong continued. "The exploration team's houses are mobile, and the twelve people don't live together. Plus, there are guards. It doesn't seem easy to kidnap all twelve people at once.
"They have mobile phones, telephones, and communication devices. Once something happens, they should at least have time to call the police." Bian Dong was so excited that he even smoked hard. "But, what about the scene? Have you seen the scene report?
"There were no signs of fighting, no bloodstains, no calls to the police, no distress signals, and no personal belongings were touched. It gave my colleagues the feeling that …" Bian Dong's eyes were wide open. "It was as if the exploration team had left the base on their own!"
Zhao Yu had already seen what Bian Dong had said clearly in the information he had obtained. It was indeed difficult to understand why twelve people had disappeared in the exploration base in the middle of the night.
If they had really been kidnapped by armed forces, there should have been at least some signs of struggle.
"What I don't understand the most," Bian Dong said, "was that the weather was very good that day. If a car had entered the exploration team's location, it would have definitely left tire tracks.
"There were twelve people, so it would have been either a big car or several small cars. But … Why couldn't we find any traces of them after searching all around the base?
