"This hole was previously covered by stones!" Bian Dong translated for the person who had discovered it. "If you hadn't been looking for it deliberately, it wouldn't have been easy to find it!"
"Yes …" Zhao Yu nodded as he measured the distance between the two small holes and the relationship between their positions. After weighing the pros and cons for a few seconds, he raised his arm and said concisely, "Look again!"
So, everyone began to search the ground again.
Although no one knew what these two small holes represented, everyone became more and more enthusiastic in their search.
After a while, another police officer raised his hand and said that he had found another small hole about ten meters away on the other side.
Soon, good news came one after another. Including the one that Zhao Yu had discovered, they had found a total of five identical small holes in the open space!
Zhao Yu quickly discovered that the positions of the five small holes were not irregular, but there was a faint pattern to them.
Among them, in the middle of the hole that he had found when he had released water, there were four small holes surrounding it, each located at the four corners. If they were connected to the middle, there would be a slanted cross!
This …
"Detective Zhao …" Bian Dong also saw the problem and said to Zhao Yu, "With such a long distance, if it was used to fix some kind of equipment, then … the size of the equipment must not be small, 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 isn't heavy, right?"
"Then …" Bian Dong really couldn't figure out what the small holes were used to fix.
"Let's ask the professionals again!" Zhao Yu said. "I don't know if it's a common equipment used by the exploration team."
"Mm …" Bian Dong nodded, then thought of a possibility. "Do you think that the exploration team held a bonfire party to fix the bonfire or something?"
"I haven't seen 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, then show it to me on a map as soon as possible!
"Also …" Zhao Yu said, "Send someone to search the campsite and see if there are any tools like piling. We have to at least confirm whether these small holes were made by the exploration team.
"If not, then it may be related to the missing persons case!"
"Understood!" Bian Dong nodded. "I'll hurry up and arrange it …"
After that, Bian Dong began to gather people and did as Zhao Yu had instructed.
Hmm …
Zhao Yu looked at the small hole under his feet with a worried look on his face.
Although the five holes were novel to him, he still couldn't connect it to 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?
Not knowing what he was thinking, he picked up a slender, withered branch from the ground and stuck it into the small hole in the ground, wanting to test the depth of the hole.
In the end, the withered branch was too brittle and broke before it even reached the ground.
That's it!
Zhao Yu remembered that there was an invisible measuring device in his system that was specially used for measuring. After a long period of accumulation, he had accumulated close to a hundred of these low-level tools.
Zhao Yu had always been depressed about this. He was not in the construction business, so he did not know what the measuring device was for.
From the looks of it now, it would be a waste not to use it!
The measuring device was quite useful. After Zhao Yu aimed the measuring arrow, the depth of the small hole quickly appeared on the screen.
43 centimeters …
Almost half a meter …
Zhao Yu pondered. What could this data represent?
Hey?
Just as he was thinking seriously, under the illumination of his Invisible Flashlight, he suddenly found a new suspicious situation.
He found that on the ground on one side of the small hole, the gravel there seemed to be separated by something, leaving a slender mark in the middle …
Oh …
Zhao Yu suddenly thought of a term — rope!
If he guessed correctly, that should be left by the friction of the rope on the ground.
Right!
Zhao Yu stood in front of the small hole and an image appeared in his mind.
Someone was hammering a sharpened iron rod into the hard ground.
Then, he tied a rope to the iron rod in order to fix something in the distance.
After the fixing was done, he stood at the iron pole to retrieve the rope. That was why the rope left such a mark on the ground.
But … because it had been a long time, the mark was not as obvious anymore …
From this, it seemed that his previous speculation was correct. The use of the small hole was to fix something!
But … what exactly was it fixed?
Could this fixed thing 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 table lamp, staring at the sketch on the paper. He was still stubbornly analyzing the five small holes that he had suddenly discovered.
Bian Dong had already consulted the relevant experts, but the experts could not determine what the small holes were used to fix.
Cross …
Zhao Yu connected the five small holes and drew a crooked and flat cross. He found that the distance between the four small holes on the outside and the small hole in the middle was about the same, between seventeen to twenty meters.
If looked at separately, the two holes on the left and the small hole in the middle could be drawn to form an equilateral triangle.
Zhao Yu understood that this was the legendary triangle fixing. In this way, the thing fixed in the middle of the triangle would be more stable!
The five small holes could form two equilateral triangles.
In other words, the five small holes were used to fix two objects of equal size!
If that was the case …
Zhao Yu could not help but feel disappointed. No matter how he looked at it, the fixed objects looked like tents! It was very likely that someone had left the five regular holes in order to fix the two tents!
Moreover, only tents would be suitable for such small iron or wooden stakes. If it was a large machine, then the holes left on the ground would not be small.
It seemed …
Zhao Yu took a deep breath, and an idea gradually formed in his mind.
Maybe the exploration team had obtained a batch of supplies, and in order to protect the supplies, they had set up two tents in the open space of the camp, which was why the five strange holes were left.
But … not long before the exploration team's accident, the supplies had been transported away, so the exploration team tore down the tents, so …
Wait a minute …
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu suddenly had a new idea in his mind.
That's right!
He thought excitedly, I have the mobile phones of the exploration team! If I look for photos related to the camp from the mobile phone, will I be able to confirm the problem with the tents?
Genius!
Zhao Yu slapped his forehead, and was ready to find the mobile phone to check the photos.
But at that moment, his mobile phone rang first.
He took it out and saw that it was the alarm clock that he had set himself, reminding him that it was already midnight, and he could open a new hexagram.
For the past few days, because Zhao Yu could not find any clues, all of his adventures had ended early, and today was no exception.
So, when he saw that it was midnight, he opened a new hexagram without hesitation!
But, for some reason, when he opened the hexagram, Zhao Yu suddenly felt like he was being electrocuted, as if he had been struck by lightning.
The next second, when he looked at the hexagram that had already been opened, his whole body instantly stiffened!
