"Love and hate are in a moment, raising a glass to the moon and feeling like heaven..."
A familiar song came from the bumpy Great Wall Haval car. I don’t know whether it was because of the severe bumps or the poor signal, but the song was squeaky and intermittent.
However, Zhao Yu still felt a little strange. Because the car was driving on the vast plateau of Tharstan, and he was already in a foreign country thousands of kilometers away.
However, the Chinese elements that can be seen everywhere here make him feel as if he is still in China.
The car was an old-model Great Wall Haval, and the song played on the radio was also the popular and original "The Drunken Concubine" without even a foreign translation.
In addition, the driver's mouth was full of Hongtashan and he was wearing Bosideng, which did not make him look like he was abroad at all.
Here, only the occasional plateau villages and some road signs on both sides of the road give it a slightly exotic look...
The cold wind howled outside the car window, and the huge temperature difference caused a layer of water vapor to cover the window glass.
Zhao Yu, who was sitting in the back seat, wiped off the layer of moisture and looked out the window.
But what I saw outside was endless open wilderness. There were some green grass and cattle in some places, but most of the places were desolate and barren.
"Hahaha, I have admired your name for a long time." At this time, a young man sitting in the passenger seat said to Zhao Yu, "My hometown is in Jin'an, and I have been familiar with the case of the headless female corpse since I was a child. So profound!
"I really didn't expect that such a difficult case would be solved by you. You are worthy of being an unsolved case collector. If you have a chance..." the young man said with a sincere face, "Can you tell me about it? Although I I’ve read the briefing on the case, but I think the real case would be more thrilling, right?”
This young man's name is Bian Dong, and he is an assistant specially sent to Zhao Yu by the Secret Service Office.
This person is a support staff member of the Secret Service stationed in Tharstan and is not an official agent. However, he has lived in Tharstan for many years and knows the situation here well.
"Well, there's a chance!" Zhao Yu said perfunctorily and asked straight to the point, "Now tell me, how did Talstan react after the disappearance case emerged?"
"Okay, okay..." The young man had already handed Zhao Yu a cigarette before. He knew that Zhao Yu didn't smoke, so he lit one on his own and said, "The two countries have close relations. If such a big thing happened, Talstan Naturally, the top brass of the company attached great importance to it. They had already sent troops to search the mountainous areas near the exploration team.
"But..." Bian Dong said unfavorably, "As you know, the Tauz Plateau occupies almost one-third of Talstan's land area. There are large areas of uninhabited land and mountains, with complex terrain and uninhabited areas.
"So, the difficulty of the search work can be imagined! Did you know?" Bian Dong took a puff of cigarette intoxicatedly and said, "There are only 25 civilian helicopters in the entire Tarstan, and 10 of them have expired. It can’t take off!”
"oh… "
Zhao Yu agreed, but he was thinking in his heart that if the disappearance of the exploration team was really related to terrorists, then searching alone would be difficult to achieve.
“I don’t know how many military ones there are, but I hear what they mean,” Bian Dong added, “They should all be sent out to help!
"They were really scared about this incident!" Bian Dong said, "Two-thirds of the 12 people are Chinese. If something happens, no one can bear the responsibility!
"Now is the sensitive period of the general election. The opposition parties and conspirators are ready to take action. Maybe it will really become a trigger and get out of hand!"
Listening to Bian Dong's introduction, Zhao Yu silently looked at his watch. At this moment, he had come out of the Capital Airport in Tharstan and had been in the car for more than two hours.
Because the journey is too long and the road conditions are too bad, it will take at least five hours for them to arrive. The sun is about to set now. In any case, it will be late at night when they arrive at the exploration team base.
In fact, if it weren't for the time difference, it would already be midnight in China. If it were a normal case, Zhao Yu should rest one night in the capital of Talstan and set off the next day.
However, the exploration team's case was extremely urgent, so Zhao Yucai decided to travel overnight.
At first, he applied for helicopter assistance, but the conditions in Talstan were too limited to meet Zhao Yu's requirements, so he had to drive there.
"By the way, Officer Zhao," Bian Dong remembered something again and said mysteriously to Zhao Yu, "I haven't been to the scene since the accident, but I heard from my colleagues at the front that the disappearance of the exploration team this time ... It seems to be a bit evil!"
"Huh? Evil family?" Zhao Yu was surprised. This was the first time he heard such a statement.
"Yes!" Bian Dong whispered, "Although the exploration team is small, there are armed guards, and almost everyone has a gun!
"Moreover, among the missing people, four are specifically responsible for security. Two are outstanding soldiers from your peacekeeping force, and two are police officers from the Talstan Border Defense Department.
"These four people are carefully selected security personnel. They take turns on duty every day to ensure the safety of the exploration team!"
"Oh..." When Bian Dong said this, Zhao Yu immediately understood why some people thought the disappearance case was a bit strange.
"Look," Bian Dong continued, "the exploration team is all in movable simple houses. The 12 people do not live together. Plus there are people guarding them. It seems that it is not easy to kidnap these 12 people at once. Easy thing right
"They have mobile phones, telephones, and communication equipment. Once something happens, they should at least have time to call the police?" Bian Dong said so excited that he even smoked very hard, "But what about the scene? Have you seen the scene report? Already
"There are no signs of fighting, no blood, no calls to the police, no clues for help, and no personal belongings have been moved. It gives me the same feeling as my colleagues..." Bian Dong said with wide eyes, "It's like, It seems like the people from the exploration team left the base on their own!"
Regarding what Bian Dong said, Zhao Yu had already seen clearly from the information. It is really hard to understand that 12 people disappeared silently in the wilderness exploration base in the middle of the night.
If there was an armed kidnapping, there should at least be some traces of a struggle.
“The most incomprehensible thing is,” Bian Dong added, “The weather was particularly good that day. If a car entered the location of the exploration team, it would definitely leave tire marks.
"That's 12 people. It's either a big car or several small cars. But why... I searched all around the base and couldn't find any traces
"These 12 people have disappeared from the world, right?"
