At noon that day, in a wilderness in Luling City, Xijiang Province.
Luling City is adjacent to Beicang City, less than 50 kilometers apart. It is named after the Luling River, a tributary of the Ganjiang River, the largest river in Xijiang Province, flows through this place.
Zhao Yu and his party arrived here under the leadership of local experts. If the clues they were looking for were good, then the place where Yun Duoer killed Wei Qiqi and shot the video was in this area.
"That blockhouse collapsed in 2010!" As everyone entered the search area, Miao Ying introduced to Zhao Yu, "The blockhouse was indeed built during the Anti-Japanese War. We found local modern history research experts, and based on the information they provided According to the data, we are almost certain that the building that appears in the murder video is this kind of turret!
"Among them, there is also a collector who provided us with the locations and specific information of all the turrets. Through our analysis, the one closest to the video is right here!"
Following Miao Ying's introduction, Zhao Yu, who was standing at a high place, could see a large river flowing in the distance. On the east bank of the river, there were dense bushes, and just on the edge of the bushes, An extremely vast forest area.
As soon as he arrived here, Zhao Yu felt that the blood in his body was flowing faster, because the plants in the forest area in front of him were very similar to the scenery in the video of Wei Qiqi's murder.
Not long after everyone entered the woods, Zhao Yu saw a plant called Winter Silver Flower appearing among the low trees. This plant has small white oval flowers, and its appearance is indeed very similar to a dandelion.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be even more excited, and his heart was full of hope. It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the answer they dreamed of!
A quarter of an hour later, everyone walked through the woods and came to a higher place near the river, and finally saw the ruins of the turret.
But when I saw the collapsed turret, only the base part was left, and there were rubble and rubble everywhere. It looked particularly desolate against the damp and cold air by the river.
"In the video of Wei Qiqi's murder, you can see some stars in the upper left corner of the turret..." Miao Ying continued, "Through the identification of astronomical experts, we recognized that several stars belong to the western constellation Pisces. In other words, Wei Qiqi's original The place where he was killed should be located to the east of the turret!
"Look..." Miao Ying showed Zhao Yu a set of data on her phone, "This is the approximate distance calculated by experts based on the video.
"Based on this distance, we have narrowed the search area to less than 10,000 square meters. Someone has just checked it. The vegetation coverage there is consistent with the height of the scenery in the video!"
"Well..." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "In other words, we can start?"
"Yes!" Miao Ying said, "All departments are well prepared. Zhang Peipei's forensic team has also arrived at the scene. Once suspicious bones are found, they will handle and compare them as soon as possible!"
"Very good," Zhao Yu waved, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's do it!"
Following Zhao Yu's order, the police officers and scientific researchers who had been prepared all started to conduct a detailed search in the specified area.
"I don't know, is this a kind of luck..." After the construction started, Miao Ying said to Zhao Yu, "I just asked hydrology and environmental experts, and they said that the river in the distance is called Taiping River. Due to its remote location, In the past 20 years, not much has changed here, and it almost remains the same as it was back then!”
Huhu...
The moist cold wind by the river blew across Zhao Yu's cheeks. Zhao Yu pouted, looked at the scenery in front of him and said:
"Sparsely populated and deserted, this... is really a good place to kill people!!" He lamented with a look of sadness in his eyes, "No wonder Yun Duoer behaves so calmly and calmly when killing people in the wild!
"Not to mention Wei Qiqi's mouth is sealed, even if she really screams, it won't be heard, right?"
"Amitabha, Amitabha!" After hearing this, Cui Lizhu clasped her hands and prayed again, "I hope those girls have spirits in heaven and help us find Wei Qiqi together!
"As long as we find Wei Qiqi, we can help you redress your injustice..."
Zhao Yu carefully observed the local environment and said: "This kind of place is not close to the road, and the ground near the woods is a bit soft, so it seems difficult for cars to drive in!
"If..." he pondered, "Wei Qiqi was carried into the woods by Yun Duo'er, then... she would not have gone too far!
"Let's go!" With that, Zhao Yu walked towards the search area and said, "Let's go over and see if we can help?"
The reason why Zhao Yu was eager to give it a try, of course, had another purpose. What he calls help is not to give advice, but because he has more powerful skills that he has not yet used.
When he entered the search area, he immediately turned on a new invisible tracker, preparing to use the tracker to smell the chemical smell and then find the bones.
However, he had just used the tracker when he suddenly heard a bright and rapid whistle coming from somewhere in the search area!
Someone blew a whistle, which meant that something was found there, and people nearby immediately gathered around the place where the whistle was blown...
I click!
Zhao Yu is still thinking about showing off his face and showing off! But I didn’t expect to be robbed of the limelight so quickly…
Soon, Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, and Cui Lizhu also ran over. When they arrived, they only saw a technician with an electronic instrument in his hand, measuring something in a reed field.
But there were reeds as tall as a person growing there, blocking most of people's sight. After Zhao Yu squeezed forward, he discovered that there was an oval-shaped depression at the roots of the reeds.
Reeds also grow in the collapsed area, but the reeds there are obviously not as strong as those in other places. Moreover, the shape and size of the collapsed area are particularly similar to a pit used to bury corpses!
Could it be...
Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that experts said that due to the soft soil in Xijiang River, special depressions will occur on the surface of corpses after they have been buried for many years...
Could it be...
At this time, the instrument in the technician's hand flashed, and the man became excited and hurriedly waved to the police officers.
The next second, the sound of a rumbling motor suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, and an excavator, which had been prepared long ago, rumbled over!
But…
Zhao Yu followed the crowd and stepped aside, but he was muttering in his heart.
Because, although the technician's electronic pulser detected an abnormality, there was no response on Zhao Yu's invisible tracker.
Therefore, Zhao Yu had to mutter, wondering if there would be any mistakes? Or maybe we found the wrong body
Time passed by minute by second, not only Zhao Yu and others, but also other search personnel at the scene gathered there, waiting nervously.
"stop!"
When the excavator reached a certain depth, the personnel at the pit immediately shouted and signaled the excavator to stop working.
Next, three or four workers entered the pit with hoes and shovels and began to carefully dig by hand.
Due to the low-lying location, a lot of muddy water gushes out from the ground during the excavation process. In order to prevent damage to the bones that may be found, workers can only use water pumps to pump water while digging carefully.
"Tsk tsk..."
At this time, Zhao Yu heard the smacking sound coming from the mouth of forensic doctor Zhang Peipei beside him, but saw Zhang Peipei's serious expression, looking extremely worried.
Zhao Yu knew that the serious water seepage in the pit would inevitably damage the evidence on the bones, which would be very detrimental to future evidence collection work.
If all the evidence is really destroyed, then even if Wei Qiqi's body is found, it may not be of much use...
"Oh oh oh... Stop! Stop! Stop quickly!!!" As a result, when Zhao Yu was lost in thought, a worker's shout came from the pit, "Look... there is something here!?"
