"You mean..." Miao Ying thought carefully about Zhao Yu's words, "the trees in other parts of the forest are very tall, but the trees on the hillside where the well is located are not tall and lush?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded.
"In other words, the problem is with the hillside where the well is located, not the well itself?" Miao Ying asked again.
"Yes!" Zhao Yu said seriously, "Of course, there should be problems with the well itself."
"Then tell me," Miao Ying said, "What's wrong with the hillside? Is it because the trees there are not tall and lush
"Do you think we need to test that hillside?"
"Team leader..." Zeng Ke interrupted, "The trees in the forest can't all grow uniformly! The hillside has a shady side and a sunny side, and the composition of the soil and the types of trees will cause the trees to be uneven, as if Is there nothing wrong with it?"
"But don't you think the hillside where the well is located is too far away?" Zhao Yu said, "The big trees elsewhere are more than twenty meters tall!
“But there are small trees only ten meters high on the hillside
"By the way, the thickness of the trees are also different! The trees elsewhere cannot be hugged by one person, but the ones on the hillside are very thin!"
"People are born, old, sick and die, tall, short, fat or thin, and trees are the same!" Miao Ying said, "If there are old trees, there must be new trees! Especially in the virgin forest, this is normal!"
"No!" Zhao Yu said, "I have remembered everything now. The hillside is on the sunny side, but there is not a single big tree there, they are all small trees!
"I don't think this is a normal phenomenon. There must be something wrong with that hillside!"
"Okay... what do you think will be a problem?" Miao Ying retorted, "Is it because of logging that all the old trees on the hillside were cut down and a wave of new trees were planted
"What does this have to do with our case?"
"No," Zhao Yu said resolutely, "The hillside where the accident occurred is located deep in Tuoshan Mountain. There is no road at all. If you leave the trees outside and chop down the ones inside, why don't you chop down the trees inside?"
"Well, maybe..." Zeng Ke scratched his head and said, "That hillside used to have precious trees, so they were cut down? Is this indiscriminate deforestation?"
"I don't know," Zhao Yu shrugged, "You can ask."
"Okay, okay..." Zeng Ke nodded hurriedly, "I'll ask right away!"
"Not only do I want to ask about the hillside, I also need photos of the scene," Zhao Yu said. "It's best to take aerial photos with a drone! Since we haven't found clues from the microscopic level, let's look for them from the macroscopic level. Well!"
"Okay," Zeng Ke hurried back to his desk, "I'll contact them right now!"
"Meow meow," Zhao Yuze turned around and held Miao Ying's shoulders, asking extremely seriously, "Do you remember the Golden Buddha case? What are the names of those old experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau? Is there someone named Tian... Tian..."
"Tian Dongmin!" Miao Ying grinned, "Zhao Yu, what do you want to do? Why do you suddenly ask about the Golden Buddha case? You... you don't think there is... below the hillside... "
"No grass even grows on the mound of soil surrounding Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum!" Zhao Yu said, "I think the trees on that hillside grow very regularly, as if someone planted them deliberately.
"Tian Dongmin is an expert in this field, why not wait for the aerial photos to come and let him take a look!"
"I think you are a bit too whimsical!" Miao Ying shook her head, "How could you connect the well case with the tomb
"You don't think that the well is not a well, but some kind of robbery hole, do you
"We've dug all the wells!"
"You didn't dig deeper!" Zhao Yu said, "Otherwise, I really can't figure out why there would be a well there!"
"Zhao Yu, you are really obsessed," Miao Ying said seriously, "Tuoshan and Qinshan are so close, you should know that there are no historical cities nearby. Where are the tombs?"
"Isn't there a Xixia royal tomb in Xixia Province?" Zhao Yu asked seriously.
"Please, how did you learn geography?" Miao Ying shook his head, "The tombs of the Xixia kings are in Helan Mountain! On the other side of Xixia Province!"
"That's right," Zhao Yu refused, "The royal tombs of the Western Xia Dynasty are for the use of kings. Isn't it okay if Tuoshan is used by ministers?"
"Can you please be serious?" Miao Ying shook her head and sighed, "You have grown up, have you ever heard of any tombs found in Tuoshan?"
"In the case of the Golden Buddha, weren't there some tombs of Ming Dynasty governors discovered in Yunyang County?" Zhao Yu still insisted on his opinion.
"Yunyang County... my God... you really think..." Miss Miao pinched her waist, "Yunyang County and Tuoshan are thousands of miles apart!"
"Team... Team leader..." Miao Ying had just finished speaking. Zeng Ke suddenly stood up in the distance, holding a phone in one hand and saying to Zhao Yu, "The people at the forest ranger station said that they also noticed the trees on the hillside. Low problem.
"They said they suspected that a landslide had occurred in that place!"
"What?" Zhao Yu opened his mouth wide, "Landslide?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke explained, "the rangers said that they had seen similar situations before and suspected that the possibility of a landslide was very high!
"They also said that the trees on the hillside should have been artificially planted. It may be that after the landslide occurred, the forestry department planted trees from the hillside, so the trees there are relatively shorter than other places. .”
"Artificial planting..." Zhao Yu pointed to the phone in Zeng Ke's hand, "Ask them, how old are those trees?"
"I asked," Zeng Ke replied immediately, "They said that based on visual inspection, the trees should be about 30 years old."
"Did you plant it 30 years ago? Tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips and sighed, unable to hide his disappointment.
Because the well case occurred five years ago, and the trees there were planted 30 years ago, it means that Zhao Yu’s hillside theory is likely to be untenable.
There is indeed a problem with that hillside, but this problem has nothing to do with the case. It just happened to be chosen by the murderer...
However, Zhao Yu obviously did not give up, and said in a serious tone: "Do you think it was because of the landslide that the tombs buried underneath were exposed
"So... um..."
Zhao Yu grabbed his hand, obviously unable to continue.
"Wait..." Unexpectedly, Miao Ying did not take the opportunity to attack Zhao Yu. Instead, she suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Yu, "Zhao Yu, how deep is that well?"
"5.5 meters." Zhao Yu answered without thinking.
"How high is that hillside?" Miao Ying asked again.
"Well..." Zhao Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.
"It must be at least more than 100 meters, right?" Zeng Ke guessed and replied, "Because the trees are blocking it, it may be higher than what is visually estimated."
"That's right!" Miao Ying clapped her hands and said in surprise, "There has been a landslide in that place, which shows that the mountain there is not a completely solid rock structure. In this case... In this case... "
"My eldest lady..." Zhao Yu pressed, "What kind of thing is it?"
"If you open a well on the mountainside where there has been a landslide," Miao Ying said, "how can there be water in the well? Is there something wrong with the person who built the well?"
"Huh?" Zhao Yu scratched his head, "That's really true. It seems that the well... is not used to draw water at all!"
"If you don't fetch water..." Now it was Zeng Ke's turn to wonder, "What's the use? It's not just for burying people, right?"
"That's right!" Zhao Yu and Miao Ying said almost in unison, "That well should be used for burying people!"
