At noon that day, in the wilderness of Luling City, Xijiang Province …
Luling City was adjacent to Beicang City, less than 50 kilometers away. Luling River, a tributary of the largest river in Xijiang Province, flowed through this area.
Zhao Yu and his team arrived here under the guidance of local experts. If the clues they had found were correct, the place where Yun Duoer killed Wei Qiqi and took the video must have been in this area.
"That gun tower collapsed in 2010!" As everyone entered the search area, Miao Ying explained, "The turrets were indeed built during the Anti-Japanese War. We found a local modern history expert, and according to the information they provided, we are almost certain that the building that appeared in the murder video is this kind of turret!
Miao Ying then added, "There was also a collector who provided us with the location of all the gun towers and specific information. According to our analysis, the one that is closest to the one in the video is here!"
As Miao Ying explained, Zhao Yu could see a big river flowing in the distance. On the east side of the river, there were dense bushes, and on the edge of the bushes, there was a vast forest area.
As soon as they arrived, Zhao Yu felt the blood in his body flow faster, because the plants in the forest in front of him were very similar to the scenery in the video of Wei Qiqi's murder.
Not long after they entered the forest, Zhao Yu saw a plant called Winter Silver Flower in the bushes. This plant had small white oval flowers, which looked very similar to dandelions.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel excited and hopeful. It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the answer they had been dreaming of!
After a quarter of an hour, they passed through the forest and came to a higher place near the river. Finally, they saw the ruins of the gun tower.
They saw that only the base of the gun tower was left, and there were rubble and debris everywhere. Under the damp and cold air of the river, it looked very sad.
"In the video of Wei Qiqi's murder, you can see some stars on the upper left side of the gun tower …" Miao Ying continued. "According to the identification of the astronomical experts, they recognized that these stars belong to the western constellation Pisces. In other words, the place where Wei Qiqi was killed should be on the east side of the gun tower!
"Look …" Miao Ying showed Zhao Yu a set of data on her mobile phone. "This is the approximate distance calculated by the experts based on the video.
"Based on this distance, we've already narrowed the search area to within 10,000 square meters. Someone has already checked it just now. The vegetation cover there matches the scene in the video!"
"Mm …" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "In other words, we can start?"
"Yes!" "All departments are ready, and Zhang Peipei's team has also arrived at the scene. Once suspicious bones are found, they will immediately deal with them and compare them!"
"Very good." Zhao Yu waved his hand. "What are you waiting for? Do it! "
Following Zhao Yu's order, the police officers and researchers, who had been waiting for a long time, started to search the designated area carefully.
"I don't know if this is a kind of luck …" Miao Ying said. "I just asked hydrologists and environmental experts, and they said that the river in the distance is called Taiping River. Because of its remote location, there hasn't been much change in the past 20 years. It's almost the same as it used to be!"
Huff huff …
The cold and humid wind from the river blew across Zhao Yu's cheeks. Zhao Yu pouted and looked at the scenery in front of him.
"There's no one around. This is really a good place to kill people!" He sighed sadly, "No wonder Yun Duo Er was so calm even when she was killing people in the wild!
"Wei Qiqi's mouth was sealed. Even if she really shouted, no one could hear her, right?"
"Amitabha, Amitabha!" Cui Lizhu clenched her hands and prayed again. "I hope that the girls in heaven can help us find Wei Qiqi!
"As long as we find Wei Qiqi, we can help you clear your name …"
Zhao Yu carefully observed the local environment and said, "This place is not close to the road, and the ground near the forest is a bit soft. It doesn't seem to be easy for cars to drive in!
"If …" He pondered and said, "Wei Qiqi was carried into the forest by Yun Duo 'er, then … she couldn't have gone too far!
"Let's go!" Then, Zhao Yu walked towards the search area and said, "Let's go take a look and see if we can help."
The reason why Zhao Yu was so eager to try was because he had another purpose. His so-called help wasn't to come up with a plan, but because he had a more powerful ability that he hadn't used yet.
When he entered the search area, he immediately turned on a new invisible tracker. He was going to use the tracker to sniff out the smell of the chemical and then find the bones.
However, just as he was about to use the tracker, he suddenly heard a loud and rapid whistle from somewhere in the search area!
Someone whistled, which meant that something had been found there. The people nearby immediately gathered around the place where the whistle had sounded.
What the f * ck!
Zhao Yu was still thinking of showing his face and showing off! He hadn't expected that his limelight would be stolen so quickly.
Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, and Cui Lizhu quickly ran over. When they arrived, they saw a technician holding an electronic instrument, measuring something in the reed field.
There were reeds that were taller than a person, blocking most of their view. When Zhao Yu squeezed in front of them, he found that there was an oval-shaped depression at the root of the reeds.
There were reeds in the depression, but the reeds there were obviously not as thick as the ones in other places. Moreover, the shape and size of the depression looked like a pit that was used to bury corpses!
Could it be …
Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that the experts had said that because the Xijiang soil was soft, the surface of the corpses would have a special depression after being buried for many years.
Could it be …
At that moment, the instrument in the technician's hand flashed. The technician was excited and hurriedly waved at the police officers.
The next second, there was the rumbling sound of a motor behind the crowd. An excavator that had been prepared for a long time rumbled over!
But …
Zhao Yu retreated with the crowd, but he had some doubts in his heart.
This was because, although the technician's electronic pulse device had found something unusual, Zhao Yu's invisible tracker didn't have any reaction.
Therefore, Zhao Yu couldn't help but wonder if there would be any mistakes. Or, did they find the wrong body?
As time passed, not only Zhao Yu and the others, but the other searchers at the scene were all gathered there, waiting anxiously.
"Stop!"
When the excavator dug to a certain depth, the people at the side of the pit immediately shouted to stop the excavator.
Then, three or four workers entered the pit with hoes and shovels, and began to dig carefully by hand.
As the location was low-lying, during the excavation process, a lot of muddy water gushed out from the ground. In order to prevent them from damaging the bones that they might find, the workers could only use a water pump to pump water while they dug carefully.
"Tsk tsk …"
At that moment, Zhao Yu heard Zhang Peipei, who was next to him, smacking her lips. He saw that Zhang Peipei's expression was solemn, and she seemed unusually worried.
Zhao Yu knew that the seepage of the pit was serious, and it was bound to cause damage to the evidence on the bones. This would be very disadvantageous for future evidence collection.
If the evidence was really destroyed, even if they found Wei Qiqi's bones, he was afraid that it would be of no use.
"Oh oh oh … Stop! Stop! Stop!!! " In the end, just as Zhao Yu was lost in thought, a worker suddenly shouted from the pit, "Look … There is … something here!?"
