The next morning, Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, Wu Xiumin, the forensic doctor Zhang Peipei, and Zhang Yaohui took a helicopter and flew into the Qinling Mountains.
Although Tuoshan was located in Zhangze City in the Xixia Province, it was closer to the mountain from Qinshan.
Looking down from the helicopter, one could see that deep in the mountains was a lush forest. It was a fresh, green, and primitive scenery.
Tuoshan was a famous wildlife reserve in the country. Every year, the mountain would be sealed and visitors were not allowed to enter. Only scientific research teams were allowed to enter.
However, Zhao Yu wasn't enjoying the beautiful scenery of the forest on the helicopter. He was focusing on the miracle system in his head.
Coincidentally, today was the day when the system's hexagram section thawed, so Zhao Yu could open another hexagram.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so he opened a hexagram as soon as it thawed.
The Gen-Xun hexagram. Looking at the hexagram, Zhao Yu could only describe it with one word: "Average."
Gen represented the case, and Xun represented his family. It seemed to fit Zhao Yu's situation perfectly.
Then …
Zhao Yu had lost confidence in betting on points and devices.
Because there was no Qian and Kun hexagram, the completion rate wouldn't be high. If the completion rate wasn't high, there was no point in betting on points.
For example, if he bet 1,000 points on 200% completion rate, he wouldn't even get 300 points. For Zhao Yu, who was used to thousands of points, it wasn't attractive at all.
Betting on devices was the same. Since he felt that he couldn't get a super high completion rate, there was no need to bet on some powerful devices.
Take the stealth aircraft as an example. The requirement to select it was 1483 points, and the completion rate needed to exceed 500% to obtain it. Obviously, the more than 1,000 points were wasted.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yu chose a Universal Lock Pick. It seemed like he could still play with it. He only needed 300 points, and the completion rate was over 300%.
Although the Universal Lock Opener was cheap, it was very useful. 300 points was a good deal. Even if he lost it, he wouldn't feel bad.
Hence, Zhao Yu immediately made a bet on the device. Once the adventure completion rate was over 300%, he would get an extra Universal Lock Pick.
The speed of the helicopter was very fast. After Zhao Yu finished his selection, the helicopter was already looking for a landing spot before he had time to discuss the case with his companions.
On one side of Camel Mountain, there was a place where a landslide had just taken place. The trees had become sparse, and the plane could use this place to hover at a low altitude.
When the plane was close to the ground, Zhao Yu and the others jumped off the plane and went to the hillside.
Then, the helicopter flew far away, waiting for Zhao Yu and the others to finish their inspection before flying back to pick them up.
However, although they had arrived at Camel Mountain, there was still a certain distance from the crime scene. They needed to walk for more than half an hour to get there.
On the hillside, there were already a few workers waiting, including the police officers sent by Zhang Ze City and a few local forest rangers acting as guides.
The two of them got to know each other, then the guide led the way to the crime scene.
The forest was filled with towering ancient trees, lush vegetation, and fresh air. Walking through the forest was a fresh experience.
"Aiya, it's true!" Zhao Yu looked at the surroundings and said, "In such a big forest, who would be able to find the body if he simply buried it somewhere?
But the murderer chose a well. I really don't know what he was thinking. "
"Yes, officer," a police officer from Zhang Ze City said. "Even if he buried the body in the well, if he buried it deeper, it wouldn't be exposed and discovered!"
"No," Zhang Peipei said. "When the murderer buried the last victim, he must have buried it deep enough, but he neglected the problem of soil subsidence.
"The soil was originally fluffy, but after being washed by the deep water or rainwater, as well as decomposing naturally, the soil will flow and sink. That's how the body was exposed!"
"Oh …" The police officer scratched his head. He had obviously never heard of such professional knowledge.
"In other words …" Zhang Yaohui analyzed. "After the murderer buried the last victim, he never went to the well to take a look?
"If he came, he would definitely add more soil!"
Mm …
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Bro," Zhao Yu asked a guide on the way, "is it possible to drive a car into the crime scene?"
"No, officer!" the guide replied. "There's no road here! If you drive, you can only drive to the artificial forest on the south side of Tuoshan, then you can only walk to Wufeng Ridge. "
"Then, how long does it take?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"If you're not familiar with the environment, it would take one and a half to two hours, right?" the guide said. "But for us, it would take less than an hour!"
More than an hour, carrying a person …
Zhao Yu pondered. It seemed that his fourth doubt still existed.
"Leader …" another police officer from Zhang Ze City quickly said to Zhao Yu, "After the crime, we also considered this problem. We think that the murderer most likely used animals to transport the victims in!"
"Animals?" Zhao Yu was surprised. "Horses?"
"Horses, cows, donkeys, mules, anything is fine!" The guide said quickly. "We also have horses at the forest. If we need to walk a long distance, we will ride them!"
Oh …
Zhao Yu nodded. It seemed that the transportation of the suspect had been solved.
"If that's the case …" Miao Ying said, "If the murderer used horses, does that mean that he is familiar with the environment here?"
"I can't say for sure!" The guide said straightforwardly. "Probably. Tuoshan is so big, and there's no road inside. If you're not familiar with the environment, it's easy to get lost!"
"Then … What about the well?" Zhao Yu asked again. "Have you seen it before?"
"No …" the guide answered quickly. "I've already asked my colleagues at the forest, but no one knows about the well. It's a remote place, so we rarely go there!"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded in response. He was thinking quickly, then asked the guide, "Do you usually patrol the mountain?
Have you noticed any strangers in the mountains? "
"You're stumping me," the guide said, scratching his head. "As forest rangers, of course, we have to patrol the mountain, so we meet a lot of strangers!"
"There are hunters who sneak into the mountain to hunt, donkey friends, scientific research teams, and even people who dig for game. Even when the mountain was sealed off, there were many of them!"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded again.
"Okay, we're almost there." At this time, a police officer pointed at a tall mountain in the distance. "The crime scene is over there!"
