A distance of 15 kilometers was nothing in normal circumstances. But in the bumpy mountain valley, it was a different story.
The Secret Service team drove carefully for two hours before they gradually approached the village full of armed forces that Yuri had mentioned.
Just as everyone parked their car in a secluded area and was ready to explore the situation … Pu Jiayou suddenly received a message from Officer Li Jing.
"Detective Zhao," after reading the message, Pu Jiayou quickly explained to Zhao Yu, "after the exploration team's accident, the local police checked the images of the cars captured at the nearby intersection.
Because the initial focus was all on the large vehicles, there was a deviation in the early investigation and no suspicious vehicles were found.
However, when we focused on the hot air balloon, the local police also shifted the focus of the investigation and focused on the ordinary vehicles that might be carrying the hot air balloon! "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded. "The hot air balloon travels with the wind. The criminals couldn't have gone in the hot air balloon and returned in the hot air balloon after kidnapping people!
They must have driven the hot air balloon to the exploration team's camp in a car and assembled it on the spot. After kidnapping people, they also had to take back the frame and other things. "
"Two hot air balloons that can carry at least 10 people are not something that can be done with one or two ordinary cars! So … "Pu Jiayou pointed to his satellite phone and said," The local police used the most primitive method. They checked all the vehicles that could be captured in the video!
As a result, a total of 10 suspicious vehicles were found. These vehicles were either unregistered or missing. Here … "He handed the photos on the phone to Zhao Yu." It's all here! "
Zhao Yu browsed through it and found that the vehicles were all pickup trucks.
He knew that because the area was located in the highlands, many residents relied on animal husbandry for a living. So, when choosing a car, pickup trucks were the first choice. They could carry people, goods, and livestock.
"Although Yermaz has a sentry post in Haiya Valley," Pu Jiayou said, "because the valley is relatively open and the terrain is complicated, there are still many paths that can bypass the sentry post! So … "
"So, after so many days, the car that transported the hot air balloon may have returned to its destination!" Zhao Yu said.
"Yes!" Pu Jiayou shrugged. "In the eyes of the locals, cars are very valuable. They won't give them up easily!"
"Oh … That means …" Gao Ya pointed straight ahead. "If we can find the vehicle in the photo from the village in front of us, we can confirm the whereabouts of the exploration team?"
"It's not that simple!" Yang Feng said, "That Ukrainian man just said that the village has been fortified. We don't have any drones, so it won't be easy to get in!"
"But I think …" Gao Ya blinked her eyes and said shrewdly, "It's because they're full of armed fortifications that makes them even more suspicious. What a blatant lie!
"Besides, I've checked the information," Gao Ya said. "On the map, there is indeed a village there, but it's so small that it's negligible. It's half the size of the unnamed town we saw before!"
"Indeed!" Yang Feng nodded in agreement. "For so many armed forces to suddenly appear, there's definitely something fishy! The missing exploration team member might really be here! "
"Don't speak so early!" Pu Jiayou said cautiously. "Now that Wakria and Tarstan are in a state of panic, it's very likely that the armed forces are there for political purposes!
"So … Let's not talk about it on paper!" Captain Pu pointed straight ahead. "Let's go there and see the situation first!"
So, the group parked the car in a hidden corner. Wu Diqiu and the injured Guan Ying stayed behind, while the rest of them were fully armed. They walked along the bushes on the side of the road, heading towards the target.
In order to get detailed information, they had to bring the arms dealer Yuri along. Before that, they had already gotten the box of weapons from the arms dealer through Yuri.
Inside were the latest Russian weapons, most of which were rifles, submachine guns, and grenades.
According to Yuri, their contract also included a lot of heavy weapons. However, because it was inconvenient to carry them around, they only brought a sample of the picture, not the real thing.
Just like that, under Yuri's lead, the group smoothly arrived at the target village. When they looked in front of them, they couldn't help but frown. They all felt the seriousness of the situation.
What kind of village was that? It had turned into a fortress!
In front of the valley, there was a small city tower about three meters tall. On the city tower, there were armed people patrolling back and forth.
"F * ck!" Looking at the scene, Gao Ya couldn't help but curse. She then said to Yuri, "What's wrong with your eyes? These are not villagers, they are clearly soldiers! "
With Gao Ya's reminder, the group finally understood. Indeed, although the people who were carrying rifles and carrying bullets were dressed very shabbily, and their uniforms were not uniform, looking at the way they were holding guns, it seemed like they had undergone formal training.
"Gao Ya, can you tell which faction they belong to?" Pu Jiayou asked.
"I can't be sure," Gao Ya said. "According to the original data of Wakria, this part of the valley is under the jurisdiction of the Sakru faction!
But, Flag and the Kashmir gang are also active in this area, so we can't say for sure! The only thing I can be sure of is, "Gao Ya said." These people are definitely not Wakria's regular army! At least, I don't see any tanks! "
"Captain," Tang Long, who was in charge of the reconnaissance mission, came back from the front and reported, "No, the obstacles near the village have been removed. We can't get close at all!
"There!" He gestured with his hands. "The whole valley is blocked by them!"
"Mm …" Pu Jiayou thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we can only wait until nightfall! Tang Long … "He pointed to the cliff on the right and asked Tang Long," You can see the situation in the city from there. Can you climb up? I mean at night … "
"No problem!" Tang Long nodded. "Don't worry!"
"Okay, then we'll wait for the evening … Mm … Mm …" Just as Pu Jiayou was talking, he suddenly realized that one person was missing from the team. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Everyone, where is Zhao Yu? Where's our detective? Why is he gone? "
"This …" Everyone looked at each other. Indeed, Zhao Yu was gone.
"F * ck!" Pu Jiayou cursed angrily. "Who was watching him before? Why is this guy so … "
"Captain, captain … Look …" Before Pu Jiayou could finish, Gao Ya saw a figure jump down from the cliff on the right.
Then, as the figure approached quickly, they saw that it was Zhao Yu! Zhao Yu was holding a pair of binoculars in his hand.
"It can't be, right?" Tang Long looked at the steep cliff and exclaimed, "Can he fly? How did he reach the bottom? "
