Chapter 143: Where Are You From?
The desolate and dilapidated area of the equipment depot has not changed much despite the passage of 22 years.
It is said that due to over-exploitation in the past, not only could it not be built here, but there was even serious pollution.
Today, you can only see small processing plants or warehouses built here everywhere you go, but they are still sparsely staffed.
When Lei Yiting drove the police car into this area, Li Xiaoxian, Kong Wang and others had already arrived at the scene.
After 10 minutes of searching, under the guidance of the driver Xiao Liang, the police car stopped on a brick and stone path!
The path is overgrown with weeds, but behind the weeds is a warehouse area, and there is a small restaurant with a yellow stall on the edge of the road.
The hotel's roller shutter door was closed, and some vines and plants almost covered the walls, looking like they had not been tended for many years.
"Yes, yes, it should be here!" After getting out of the car, Xiao Liang pointed to the intersection in the distance and introduced, "Less than 100 meters from that intersection, there is not much change here, I was the one who hit it from here back then!"
Oh......
When Zhou Tang observed the environment, Lei Yiting was introducing the previous situation to Li Xiaoxian and others, and told them all of Xiao Liang's confessions word for word.
"You can be more detailed," Zhou Tang asked, "Your car is coming from the side of the intersection?"
"Yes!" Xiao nodded, "At that time, there were street lights at the intersection! This is a side road, although it is not easy to walk, but it is closer to the city, I often walked here before the accident, and almost no one could see it!"
"Well," he said, he had been next to the closed hotel and the warehouse in the distance, "there were no such things back then, and there was wasteland on both sides of here!"
"Were you turning on the headlights?" asked Zhou Tang.
"Of course!" Xiao Liang said, "They rushed out really suddenly, and I thought about it later! In such a dark place, my car drove over, and the lights were very bright, as long as they had a little common sense, it was impossible for them to rush out!"
Oh......
Before, Zhou Tang also thought about it, and from the feeling that Xiao Qi was either running away from something with the people in front of him, or he was chasing the people in front of him!
"Then ......," Zhou Tang asked, "Do you remember, was the first one to rush out, a woman or a man?"
"I don't remember!" Xiao Liang shook his head and said, "At that time, I rushed out all at once, and I almost subconsciously turned the steering wheel, and I didn't have time to take a closer look!"
After speaking, Xiao Liang recounted the scene of the year, pointing out that the first person fell into the bushes after being swept away, and then knocked Xiao Qi out from the other direction!
He was really impressed, he knew exactly where Xiao Qi fell and where the car turned and stopped.
"So......" After all of them understood, Zhou Tang pointed in the direction of the warehouse behind him, "Did they all come from that side at that time?"
"That's right!" Xiao nodded and repeated the sentence just now, "There was no house over there at that time, it was a wasteland!"
Wasteland......
Zhou Tang began to speculate, why did Xiao Qi and that mysterious person run over from the wasteland back then?
Thinking of this, he took out the phone and called Chu Juntao, who was staying in the office.
"Peeling," he ordered, "you send me a map of the area of the equipment depot 22 years ago, and then you can search for anything in the northeast of the auxiliary road at that time?"
"Okay," Chu Juntao replied, and said almost without pause, "I'm looking at this picture now! Brother Tang, 22 years ago, there were more than a dozen abandoned oil wells in the northeast, as well as the main plant of the equipment warehouse, all there!"
"Oh?" Zhou Tang immediately grasped the point, "The main plant?"
That's how the name of the equipment warehouse came from," Chu Juntao said, "The warehouse where the oil production equipment was placed back then was in the northeast!"
"Oh...... Got it!"
Zhou Tang turned on the satellite map on his mobile phone, searched carefully, and sure enough, from 500 meters away from the northeast, he saw rows of buildings.
"Peeling," Zhou Tang asked Chu Juntao again, "22 years ago, what was the situation with those warehouses?"
"I've asked about this," Chu Juntao replied affirmatively, "It has been abandoned since the 70s of the last century, and it must have been in ruins in the 90s!"
"Oh......" Suddenly, Zhou Tang seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed with excitement, and asked, "Can you help me take a look again, 22 years ago, where was Liu Xitang's home?"
"I remember that his family lived in Huaxi Villa at the time, is Huaxi not far from the equipment warehouse?"
"Wait...... Wait a minute!" With the sound of rapid tapping on the keyboard on the phone, Chu Juntao quickly replied, "That's right, Brother Tang, it's only a little more than two kilometers from the main road of the equipment warehouse to Huaxi Villa!"
"This ...... ...... put it this way."
"Hmm!" Zhou Tang nodded and said, "I suspect that the place where the bandits kidnapped Liu Shuangshuang was in the equipment warehouse!"
"I just don't know, what the hell happened to them......"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tang saw that Xiao Liang was squatting in the place where Xiao Qi was hit, and he was still in deep remorse.
Seeing Zhou Tang finish the call, he asked pleadingly: "Officer, I have confessed everything I want to explain! I want to ask, what happened to the child I bumped into now?"
"Isn't it...... He's no longer good?"
Hearing Xiao Liang's question, Zhou Tang didn't pay attention to him at all, but turned his head and signaled to Xiao Liang at Lei Yiting.
That obviously means that Lei Yiting is going to guard Xiao Liang.
Then, he turned around and walked on foot in the direction of the equipment hangar!
Seeing this, Li Xiaoxian hurriedly followed Kong Wang, and asked at the same time, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go inside and have a look," after Zhou Tang replied, Chong Kong Wang asked, "Kong Wang, do you have a drone in your car?" I want to take a good look at the situation here!"
"No, ......no," Kong Wang replied, "I came in a hurry, and I got on another car......!" Si Rui is driving that car, and he should be there in ten minutes or so!"
"Okay!" Zhou Tang ordered, "You contact her, let her come to us with a drone when she arrives......!"
The so-called stepping on the field is the meaning of stepping on the point, which was originally the jargon of fraudsters, and Zhou Tang pouted casually.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoxian and Kong Wang didn't hear clearly, and the three of them immediately walked through the weeds together and headed northeast.
The area of the equipment warehouse is not small, although you can directly see the abandoned oil well support, and the equipment warehouse that has become ruins, but you really walked over, but it took more than 20 minutes!
When they got closer, they were in ruins, and the air was filled with a rotten and oily smell.
When I looked up, I saw that many of the already tall warehouses had collapsed into ruins, and the rest were all isolated walls, looking crumbling!
"Don't say it......" Zhou Tang looked at the ruins in front of him and said, "This place is in a good location, easy to observe and easy to evacuate, it is indeed a good place to hide!"
"That's right!" Li Xiaoxian echoed, "Back then, the Z bandits should have tied Liu Shuangshuang here, but ...... There are so many warehouses, I don't know which one it is?"
