It was six in the morning when Zhao Yu woke up in his sleeping bag.
That night, he slept very badly.
It was too cold!
Even with the shelter of the house and the warmth of the sleeping bag, Zhao Yu still felt cold!
In fact, the temperature outside had not reached below zero degrees, but for some reason, Zhao Yu felt very, very cold.
At this moment, when he woke up in the morning and looked out of the wet window, he finally realized where his cold came from!
It turned out that this kind of cold did not come from the body, but from the heart.
When he stared at the vast wilderness outside the window, his loneliness was magnified infinitely, making him feel cold …
At that moment, Bian Dong, who was sleeping in the same room as Zhao Yu, was still snoring and curled up in his sleeping bag. The young man was not a field worker, so he rarely suffered this kind of pain.
Hu …
Zhao Yu calmed himself down, and the first thing he did was to check his system interface.
Although more than a day had passed, the three big characters “kun Gen Li” were still firmly occupying the hexagram area.
He didn’t know why, but now that he was looking at the three words carefully, Zhao Yu suddenly felt a sense of malevolence.
Tsk tsk …
What was going on?
Did he sense something amiss?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was right …
Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and quickly realized the answer. That’s right, the reason why he looked at the hexagram poem was because he was worried that the disappearance of the exploration team would have a bad result!
When a kun hexagram was used, there would definitely be a dead person!
This was Zhao Yu’s conclusion from his long-term experience. So, as time passed, he became more and more worried about the safety of the missing exploration team members.
She had promised Division Chief Jiao that she would do her best to save the hostages and her brother-in-law, kun Peng, but the case before her was obviously not as simple as she had thought.
As it had been cold the night before, Zhao Yu had been unable to survey the outside of the base, so he had no choice but to check every room of the exploration team.
It was just as the report had described. Except for the person’s disappearance, everything in the room was normal, as if he had really evaporated into thin air.
So many people, where did they go?
Oh, ah …
Zhao Yu got out of his sleeping bag, stretched, and put on his down jacket, then went out to investigate the scene.
The cold wind was still blowing in the early morning on the plateau.
Zhao Yu walked around and found that the ground was made of hard gravel. In such a terrain, it was indeed difficult to leave any traces.
Along the way, he did find some tire marks, but they were not too obvious and could not be used for evidence.
Moreover, since the incident, the vehicles of many departments had passed by here, and the exploration team also had their own vehicles. Therefore, the probability of finding the whereabouts of the missing people from the traces alone was very low.
Zhao Yu also tried to use his own footprint identifier, but it still ended in failure.
“There must be a car!” Just as Zhao Yu was checking the traces, the female tartein officer named Anna suddenly appeared. She showed her sweet and friendly smile and said to Zhao yu,”China’s detective, you’re up early! How did you sleep last night?”
“Very bad,” Zhao Yu responded, then raised his head and asked,”what did you just say? What Car?”
“I say, if the criminals wanted to abduct twelve people, they would definitely need a suitable means of transportation!” Anna said,”it’s a pity that we can’t determine where their car came from and where it’s gone!”
As she spoke, Zhao Yu noticed that Anna was holding a stack of documents.
“This is the work log of the exploration team, and some documents,” Anna quickly explained.”I’m worried that there might be other reasons for the disappearance!”
“Yes, I’ve thought about that too,” Zhao Yu said.”Maybe it’s impolite to say that, but to be honest, I think you have to look into the two security guards from tartein.
“For the kidnapping case to be done so cleanly, there’s a great possibility that there’s an internal cooperation!”
“I’ve already thought of that,” Anna said bluntly.”I’ve already sent people to investigate, but … To be honest, those two people were transferred from the border defense Department. They are the kind of colleagues who are hard-headed and can be trusted.
“Their wives and children are all in tashiian (the capital of tarstein). I believe that they will not betray us easily!
“But …” Anna continued to smile sweetly.”I’ll tell you the truth again. I also think that there might be someone with bad intentions among the hostages.”
“That’s why I got their work log!”
“No way? “Did you think that they did a Geological Survey, found some treasure, and then …” Zhao Yu shook his head.”Your imagination is too wild.”
“I hope so too. I’m the one with a rich imagination!” Anna pouted.”Because if I’m right, then these 12 people are really doomed!”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu’s heart thumped, and the ominous feeling rose again.
“So …” Zhao Yu pointed at the documents,”did you find anything?”
“I haven’t seen it yet!” Anna said frankly,”also, my Chinese is still a little weak. I’ll let my assistant read it!
“By the way,” Anna suddenly thought of something and hurriedly pointed in the direction of the camp.”You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?” Come, let’s go eat some of our hand-grabbed mutton, you’ll definitely like it!”
“Yi!” Zhao Yu grinned.”It’s so early in the morning. Aren’t you tired of eating mutton?”
“Don’t worry, there’s still mutton soup and white cream!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh, that’s more like it …” Then, the two of them walked towards the campsite. Zhao Yu couldn’t help but say,”there’s one thing I have to remind you of. If it was really done by a mole, it’s also possible that the mole had something to do with the food and drinking water. I’ve encountered a similar case last time!”
“There’s no need for that,” Anna said.”Officer Lu sent someone to test it yesterday. The food and water are fine!”
“Oh, one more thing …” Zhao Yu said.”Have all the missing people’s personal belongings been checked? Especially their phones and laptops, maybe there’s something unusual on them?”
“We’ve checked everything,” Anna replied.”We’ve checked everyone’s phone numbers, emails, and chat records. There’s no problem at all!
“The way I see it, the biggest hope now is that the Army will find something! “Of course,” she said, pointing to the documents in her hand,”and these work logs!”
……
Twenty minutes later, Zhao Yu had a bowl of hot mutton soup in his stomach, which made him feel very comfortable. The chill that had accumulated in his heart seemed to have been mostly dispersed.
“Officer Zhao, this is the map you wanted. Take a look!” At this time, Anna unfolded a huge map in front of Zhao Yu and explained,”this is the base of the exploration team. With this as the center, there are a total of forty-six villages, five small cities, and two big cities in the area with a diameter of one hundred kilometers.
“Now, our Army is focusing on searching the villages and small cities, while the two big cities are handed over to the local police to deal with.
“But, to be honest,” Anna shook her head and said,”if I were the kidnapper, I would never hide in these places!
“Either we go further, or we find a hidden cave and hide in it. That would be the most appropriate way!
“I’m not exaggerating, but there are at least 100000 caves in the Tautz Highlands!”
“These two big cities …” Zhao Yu looked at the map carefully and asked,”the one on the left seems to be at the border of the country.”
“That’s right,” Anna nodded and replied,”outside the country is Vakra, an unclaimed territory. It’s not a country of a country!”
“Oh … So it’s Vakra!” Zhao Yu suddenly realized,”no wonder those English letters look so familiar! Sigh …”
Not sure what he was thinking, but when he heard the name vachery, Zhao Yu seemed to be touched by something …
However, at that moment, Lu Kaixuan suddenly walked in quickly from outside. As soon as he entered the room, he knocked on the door anxiously and said to Zhao Yu and Anna,”
“Quick, you two get ready, the helicopter will be here soon! There’s a new situation …”
