"Confused... confused..." Zeng Ke put down the phone in his hand and said, "You mean, the murderer made such a well in order to bury the four victims together
“This well has nothing to do with fetching water, but is just for burying people
"But... but... forgive me for being stupid..." Zeng Ke scratched his head and asked, "Doesn't this mean that the problem is back to the original point? We still don't know why the murderer did this?"
"No... it's different!" Zhao Yu said, "Now that we know that the well was specially designed to bury the dead alive, the nature of this well murder case has become more clear."
"Yes!" Miao Ying nodded, "The murderer was so determined and not afraid of trouble. He insisted on burying the deceased alive in that well. For this reason, he had to build a well himself. There seems to be only one reason left for him to do this!"
"The reason is—sacrifice!"
Zhao Yu spoke out the answer word for word. As soon as the word "sacrifice" came out, a hair-raising chill suddenly filled the office.
"Sacrifice... sacrifice..." Zeng Ke's lips began to tremble, "Sacrifice for... why?"
"If your guess is correct," Zhao Yu said meaningfully, "the answer should be under that hillside! This is really... far away in the horizon, but close in front of you."
"Team leader," Miao Ying realized the importance of the situation and immediately discussed with Zhao Yu, "do we have to make things bigger this time?"
"Don't be anxious yet," Zhao Yuqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly, "Before taking action, we must do enough homework.
"Let's do this, Zeng Ke..." Zhao Yu said to Zeng Ke, "find a geological expert and a plant expert to conduct a comprehensive survey of that hillside and give us the most detailed report!
"Let's see if there really was a landslide there, and was there really someone planting trees on the hillside?"
"Oh..." Zeng Ke nodded, but still a little confused.
"Also..." Miao Ying took out his notebook and wrote on it. "We also need to check the information from 30 years ago. At that time, Tuoshan was under the management of the Xixia Forestry Bureau. If there had been a landslide, they might have There will be records.
"Those trees on the hillside may have been planted by their organization..." After writing, she nodded to Zhao Yu and said, "I will take care of this!"
"In addition," Zhao Yuze said, pointing to the photo of the well, "you have to find Zhang Peipei and ask her to check the construction time of the well. When was the well built
"I can just handle this myself."
"Oh... I finally understand!" Zeng Ke opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Team leader, Sister Miao, are we... going to dig mountains!?"
Zhao Yu and Miao Ying looked at each other and did not answer Zeng Ke's question.
"I kind of understand now..." Zhao Yuze said thoughtfully, "After the murderer killed everyone, why didn't he fill up all the wells!
"Maybe... this is his real purpose?"
"You mean, the murderer hopes..." Miao Ying's eyes became dark and deep, "We dig out the things under the hillside
"Then...what will be there down there?"
…
At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the office of the special investigation team, Zhao Yu and others were anxiously waiting for news.
A joint exploration team sent by the Qinshan Police Station, the Institute of Geology and several related departments has been in Tuoshan for a long time. They will use advanced detection instruments to thoroughly explore the hillside where the water well case is located.
If there really is something buried beneath the hillside, it's likely to be detected.
Otherwise, there is no need to excavate the hillside.
"Team leader," Zeng Ke said to Zhao Yu with a report, "the forest ranger station invited some old experts to look at the situation on that hillside.
“They are 100 percent sure that there was indeed a landslide on the mountain.
"And they are 100 percent sure that those trees were artificially planted."
“This is the habit of the older generation of forestry bureaus,” Miao Ying said. “In order to reduce natural disasters, trees will be planted in places where landslides have occurred.
"However, due to the restructuring, the files from the Xixia Forestry Bureau can no longer be found. We still don't know the specific information about landslides and tree planting."
"Zhang Peipei has detected the age of that well," Zhao Yu said, "That well should have been built five or six years ago!"
"It coincides with the time when the first deceased was murdered!" Miao Ying nodded, "It seems that we are more certain that the builder of the well is the murderer!
"I just don't know how many murderers there are..."
"Da da da da..."
As soon as Miao Ying finished speaking, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open by someone, and Cui Lizhu, whom she had not seen for a long time, appeared at the door.
"Everyone, I'm back, okay..." Cui Lizhu put the big and small bags she was carrying on the table, and then shouted to everyone in a lively manner, "How are you, do you miss me? Hmm? Hmm... "
Only then did she realize that two people were missing from the room.
"Huh? Where are Brother Tao and Sister Wu? Where did these two go?"
"Xiao Cui, don't talk nonsense as soon as you enter the door..." Zeng Ke hurriedly clarified, "There is nothing wrong with them. Sister Wu even had a blind date a few days ago!"
"Hehe, it doesn't hurt when you stand and talk, but you and Doctor Zhang are living together," Cui Lizhu said with a smile, "The boss and Sister Miao are a couple, you and Zhang Peipei are a couple, when Brother Tao and Sister Wu become a couple, Come on, I’m the only one left!”
"Don't worry!" Zhao Yu said, "I will definitely introduce you to a good one later. Do you remember the famous Wang Can? Didn't you just flirt with each other before
"I've already asked. Wang Can has just broken up with his current girlfriend. It's a good opportunity for you to get involved!"
"Wang Can?" Cui Lizhu scratched her head, "Why do you suddenly mention this person? I almost have no memory at all!
"Hey boss," Miss Cui pouted her little mouth and said angrily, "Am I that kind of person? What do you mean by flirting? What do you mean by meddling?"
"Okay, I made a mistake. Why don't you change it to a sinister look?" Zhao Yu smiled evilly.
"Hmph, you are really good at complimenting people," Cui Lizhu looked at Zhao Yu with contempt and said harshly, "I am so kind and have no reward for my kindness. I actually spent money to buy you so many good things!"
"Wow," Zeng Ke hurriedly ran to those big and small bags, "These are for us, do you have any for me?"
"Yes, everyone has a share! This lady is not a stingy person!
"These are all local specialties from Beicang, as well as cosmetics and so on..." Cui Lizhu picked up a box of cosmetics and handed it to Zeng Ke, "Give this to your forensic goddess, I'm sure she will like it..."
"Thank you... thank you..." Zeng Ke beamed with joy.
"Boss, Sister Miao," Cui Lizhu grabbed another beautifully wrapped gift bag, "I also bought you two a couple's outfit. It's loose and very comfortable to wear...
"Here..." She took out her clothes and said to Miao Ying, "Even if Sister Miao is pregnant with the baby, she can still wear it!"
"..." Miao Ying scratched her head and blushed.
"Okay, you are good at talking!" Zhao Yu was helpless.
"By the way, I heard that an interesting case happened here," Cui Lizhu put down the gift and finally got to the point, asking, "How is it? Has our cold case sweeper solved the case?"
"Um… "
Before Zhao Yu had time to answer, Cui Lizhu suddenly saw the whiteboard. She slapped Zhao Yu on the shoulder and said excitedly: "Look, the whiteboard hasn't been removed yet! It means the case is not over yet. I came back just in time!"
Jingle Bell…
As soon as Cui Lizhu finished speaking, the phone in the office suddenly rang, and Zeng Ke hurried over to answer the call.
"Oh... oh... oh..."
After nodding several times, Zeng Ke put down the phone, raised his head and said to Zhao Yu and Miao Ying:
"Two team leaders, you guessed it right, there is indeed something under the hillside," Zeng Ke said with a complicated expression, "I think we can start the mountain!"
"My dear grandma Xiong!" While the others were still doing nothing, Cui Lizhu suddenly jumped up and said with wide eyes, "Kaishan!? You... what kind of case did you encounter?"
