"Isn't this the water tower?" Zhao Yu opened the picture on his phone and looked at the screenshot of the water tower in the video of Wei Qiqi's murder.
"That's true …" Cui Lizhu leaned over and said, "I heard from my dad that the purpose of building a water tower in the past was because tap water wasn't popular yet. The residents needed to solve the problem of drinking water, so they had to build a water tower.
"It's used to extract underground water and store water …"
"So," Zhao Yu nodded, "water towers are usually built in places with human settlements, where the population is densely distributed, and where it is difficult to get water!"
"But the Big Moon Bay is full of water systems," Cui Lizhu explained. "There's no need to build a water tower! People only needed to go to the river and they could easily get water. Moreover, this place was not a densely populated place!
"Yun Duo Er wouldn't choose a densely populated area to attack, so we must have made a mistake …"
"The building in the video is too blurry," Zhao Yu said, pointing at the picture on the phone. "If it's not a water tower, then what else could it be?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Cui Lizhu said without hesitation. "If it's not a water tower, it can only be a lighthouse! Although Xijiang Province is not close to the sea, it is the place with the most rivers and lakes in our country. Shipping is very developed there. The thing in the video is very likely to be a lighthouse that directs ships! "
"In other words …" Zhao Yu said, "There was a river where Yun Duo'er killed Wei Qiqi? Or … the lake? "
Cui Lizhu frowned and said, "To be honest, if we can't recognize which lighthouse this is, then our actual search area hasn't been reduced by much!
"Let's take the Northern Cang as an example. There are hundreds of big and small lakes. How do we find it?"
"There should be … a chance, right?" Zhao Yu pondered. "Regardless of whether it's a river or a lake, the lighthouse must be built very close to the dock! We only need to search the past waterways and docks. Won't we be able to find it? "
"That's true …" Cui Lizhu nodded. "The number of lighthouses is much less than that of water towers, right? If we check them one by one, do you think we won't find anything? "
"Yes!"
Zhao Yu looked at the Invisible Tracker in his head. It had long since expired.
After all, the number of such items was limited. If he could narrow down the search area and use the tracker to find them, it would be much easier.
So, Zhao Yu told Cui Lizhu to go back and search the next day.
Unexpectedly, something depressing happened. The battery of the electric scooter had run out. The two of them had no choice but to contact the local police. When they returned to the Xijiang Provincial Office from the wilderness, it was almost dawn.
…
The next morning, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu drank a bowl of hot tea and felt a little warmer.
Last night, the two of them were tired and cold. They had suffered a lot.
"Something's wrong!" Then, Miao Ying, who hadn't slept for the whole night, suddenly came to the two of them. She passed a document to Zhao Yu and said, "Last night, we investigated all of the lighthouses in Bei Cang City, but …
"Look …" Miao Ying pointed to the report on the last page of the document and said, "Whether it's the height or the shape, they are all very different from the buildings in the video!"
"Oh?"
Zhao Yu looked at the report carefully. Indeed, the river lighthouses in Xijiang were generally more than ten meters tall, which was much higher than the buildings in the video.
Moreover, most of the lighthouses were cylindrical, which was obviously different from the buildings in the video.
"Local experts told us," Miao Ying said. "Although Xijiang is densely covered with water systems, the people who sailed boats for generations didn't use lighthouses much.
"Only a few open channels near Poyang Lake are used, so …" Miao Ying said solemnly. "The possibility of it being a lighthouse is very small!
From the shape, the probability of it being a water tower is still very high! "
"If that's the case …" Zhao Yu frowned and guessed, "Could it be? That thing is actually a water tower. The water tower was originally built in a human gathering place. "
"But, because of geographical reasons, the human gathering place disappeared, and the water tower was abandoned.
"Look …" Zhao Yu pointed to the picture and said, "Although we can only see the outline, it seems that the thing is very old. Maybe the water tower was built before liberation?"
"Hmm …" Miao Ying thought for a moment, then said, "In this case, we have to find some historical experts to investigate in detail! Look around Beicang and see if there are any abandoned human gathering places or large factories … "
"Hey? Wait! " Suddenly, Cui Lizhu stood up and grabbed Zhao Yu's mobile phone. She pointed to the picture and said, "This thing … This thing … Is it that thing?"
"Huh? What? What? "Zhao Yu squinted.
"Didn't you just say that it looks like it was built before liberation?" Cui Lizhu said. "Do you think this thing is a gun tower?"
Zhao Yu and Miao Ying were shocked at the same time. Zhao Yu blurted out, "Gun tower?"
"Yeah, Xijiang is an old revolutionary area …" Cui Lizhu said. "It's not strange to have a gun tower, right? Do you know? When I was in Nanjiang, my dad was chased by people, and he took me to live in a gun tower! "
"This …" Zhao Yu looked at Miao Ying, feeling a little surprised.
"I think it's very likely!" Cui Lizhu said. "Take a closer look at the shape of this thing. Doesn't it look like a large grenade? Isn't that what a gun tower looks like? "
"It's true …" Zhao Yu said. "Because it looks like a water tower, when we first saw it, we all thought it was a water tower! But in fact … "
"Oh … If it's a gun tower …" Miao Ying said. "Then it'll be easy to find! There are specialized research organizations among the people and the government. I'll contact them now … "
After that, Miao Ying couldn't wait to leave the office.
"Wow …" Cui Lizhu said excitedly. "Boss, if I guessed it right, did I make a great contribution again?"
"It's too early to be happy. We haven't even started yet! " Zhao Yu sighed. "To find the gun tower, we also need to find Wei Qiqi's bones. Once we find Wei Qiqi's bones, we also need to find evidence of Yun Duo 'er. Our future is still very uncertain!"
"Mm …" Cui Lizhu clenched her hands and prayed. "Wei Qiqi, you must work hard! We promise you that we will try our best to find you, but we also hope that you can bring us a surprise! Let's bring the murderer who killed you to justice and avenge you … "
Looking at Cui Lizhu's sincere face, Zhao Yu wanted to say a few more words, but he suddenly received a new message on his phone.
This time, the message was from Ran Tao, who was in the capital.
Ran Tao told Zhao Yu that he had followed Zhao Yu's instructions to go to Tsinghua University Affiliated High School with Wu Xiumin to ask about Li Feifan and his wife's son, Li Xinghong.
Zhao Yu believed that, although Li Xinghong was still a 15-year-old high school student, they couldn't ignore this important person.
So, he asked Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin to go to Li Xinghong's school to ask about him in detail.
However, the result of the inquiry wasn't ideal.
Li Xinghong had been attending boarding school since he was in the fourth grade of primary school. His vacations were often filled with training classes. He would only go home during the holidays or on special days, so he didn't spend much time with Li Feifan and his wife.
The child had already confirmed that his parents' relationship had broken down. Both sides were just maintaining the family in a formal way, letting outsiders think that their family was harmonious.
As for the rest of the situation, the child didn't know anything.
Li Xinghong said that he had never seen his mother use a video camera, nor had he found anything special about Yun Duo 'er.
Therefore, Li Xinghong didn't provide any important clues in this case.
Zhao Yu had just finished reading the message that Ran Tao had sent him, when Miao Ying called him.
"Hey, Team Leader," Miao Ying said excitedly. "Come to the technical room now! The building in the video might really be a gun tower. Maybe … We already know where Wei Qiqi is buried … "
