Chapter Sixty-Eight: Silver Cow Lake

The comrades did not have time to watch the excitement, and the car continued to move forward.

The road is already very narrow, plus there are many fishermen's bicycles parked on the side of the road, and you can occasionally see a few motorcycles.

Therefore, the car can only move slowly.

There was not a single car in sight on the road.

Director Ji said: The lakeside road of Yinniu Lake is only a dam of the reservoir, not a road in the general sense, so it is difficult to see cars on this road.

"Team Zhao, you see, the further north you go, the fewer people are fishing." Linghu Yunfei said.

Zhao Zimeng also noticed this.

If the murderer wanted to throw Duan Chunsheng's body and his bicycle into Yinniu Lake, they would definitely avoid people's eyes, and they would never choose a place where people were fishing.

"Director Ji, since it's fishing, you can go anywhere, why are most of these anglers concentrated in the southern half of the reservoir?" Linghu Yunfei said.

"You see, the slope of the reservoir is steeper and steeper the further north it goes, and it is almost impossible to stand on people." Director Ji said as he slowed down the car.

Zhao Zimeng stretched out his head to take a look, and the lake embankment was really steep, not only steep, but also very high.

"In the past, there were people fishing here, but since the incident, anglers are afraid to come here to fish, and the reservoir management station has also put up warning signs in this area."

Director Ji stopped the car, and several people got out of the car.

"Captain Zhao, look, there's a warning sign in front."

Several people looked in the direction of Director Ji's finger.

A few paces away on the side of the road, a large wooden sign with wire tied to the trunk of a tree with two lines of striking words written in red lacquer:

The first line reads: "The slope here is steep and the water is deep!! ”

The second line reads: "No fishing, cherish life!" ”

"If you fish here, you can't catch a fish, because the embankment is too steep, and the key is that the lake here is very deep." Director Ji said, "In the past, when there were accidents, they all happened when they caught a fish. ”

"Director Ji, is this road a U-shaped road?" Zhao Zimeng said.

"No, it's two kilometers away, and if we want to get to the west shore of the lake, we'll have to turn around and go back." Director Ji said.

"You mean the car has to turn around at the end of the road?"

"Definitely going to turn around. Normally, there are no cars here. ”

"Team Zhao, our car has to turn around, and the murderer's car has to turn around as well. The road is so narrow that if you want to turn around, you will definitely leave a wheel mark on the side of the shelter forest on the east side of the concrete road. Ling Hu Yunfei and Zhao Zimeng thought of one place.

With that, the three of them began to search for wheel prints along the edge of the shelterbelt.

The reason is very simple, but not everyone can figure it out, the question is whether they can think of it.

If Duan Chunsheng was really killed and the murderer dumped the body here, then looking for a corpse in such a large area would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

But if you can further determine the specific directions, things will be much simpler.

Director Ji is right, since the car drove up the embankment, there has not been a single car.

If the van mentioned by Chef Wang had been here, it would have left wheel prints on the land at the edge of the shelterbelt when it left the site of the dumping.

The place where there is a wheel mark may be the place where the murderer dumped the body, at least in the area near where the wheel print appears.

Everyone went all the way north, looking carefully.

After the warning signs, there are no anglers in sight, and bicycles and motorcycles are no longer visible on either side of the road.

When a few people found it near the gate of Yinniu Lake, Ling Hu Yunfei suddenly said loudly: "Team Zhao, Director Ji, come here!" ”

Ling Hu Yunfei looked excited.

Ling Hu Yunfei was at the forefront, and he was the first to discover the wheel print.

Zhao Zimeng and Director Ji rushed forward quickly.

Linghu Yunfei half-squatted on the side of the road: "Team Zhao, look at ......"

The two of them followed Ling Hu Yunfei's finger and looked: there were some sparse bargen grass on the ground, and there were obvious wheel marks on the soil layer between the bagan grass.

To the naked eye, the width of this wheel print is comparable to the width of the wheel of a regular van.

This is a wheel print in the shape of a "person", which is an obvious reversing print.

"You see, there are cement ...... here," Director Ji said.

At the end of the word "person", there are some detached cement fragments, which should be the part of the road surface of the lake embankment that the car ran over in the process of reversing.

Although the lake embankment road is made of cement, the quality is acceptable, which shows that the murderer was in a hurry to leave here after doing something, and it was simple and rude when reversing to cause such a result.

Zhao Zimeng stood up and looked to the east of the shelterbelt, which had turned yellow and had fallen leaves on the ground in the early autumn season.

Looking east, there is not a single village in sight, but undulating hills.

Who will come here when the night is quiet?

Therefore, this should be the ideal place to dump the body.

Everyone walked to the other side of the road, the slope protection side of the embankment.

The murderer threw the body into the lake, and he must have tied stones to the body. In this way, the body does not surface.

Although the slope of the embankment is relatively steep, there is a certain slope, and there is a slope, and the corpse tied to the stone will definitely slide down the slope - or roll over.

The stone should have weight, and it is estimated that most of the stones have been prepared in advance if they are not made locally.

If the stone rolls down and slides, it will rub against the cement stone slope protection, and if there is friction, it will leave traces.

In addition to the corpse, Duan Chunsheng's bicycle will also be thrown into the lake.

Bikes are sliding down the cement slope – or rolling over.

Protruding places such as the faucet, back seat, pedals and legs of the bicycle are bound to leave traces of friction on the cement and stone slopes when sliding down – or tumbling.

Although the murderers have a strong sense of anti-investigation, they may not be able to foresee the occurrence of these situations.

It is estimated that they are in a hurry to dispose of the corpse and may not pay too much attention to these small details.

Or by the time they hear the sound of stones and bicycles rubbing against the slope and realize that something is wrong, it is too late.

The incident was sudden, the situation was urgent, and the murderer did not have time to make full and careful consideration.

Soon, Ling Hu Yunfei made an important discovery about five meters in front of him.

Zhao Zimeng and Director Ji followed.

At this time, Ling Hu Yunfei was lying on the cement guardrail and looking down.

Zhao Zimeng looked in the direction of Ling Hu Yunfei's finger.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not too dark, they saw a clear scratch about three meters below the guardrail, which ran through the three stone slabs and the cement joint between the three stone slabs.

The scratches are straight and thin. Only when an object falls vertically can a straight line be left.

This relatively thin scratch is supposed to have been left by a sharp part of the bike.

The height of the lake is about 10 meters from the concrete fence.

Zhao Zimeng immediately took out the small blessing machine, dialed Director Wang's phone, made a brief report to Director Wang about the current situation, and asked for support from the bureau.

Director Wang immediately promised to contact the salvage team of the Jingxi Port Authority immediately, and call back immediately after the results.

Zhao Zimeng hung up the phone, looked at Director Ji and said, "Director Ji, can you get a boat?" ”

"No problem, I'll go to the reservoir management office, there are boats in the reservoir management office."

That's what Zhao Zimeng meant when he invited Director Ji to come.

"Director Ji, after you negotiate with the management office, wait at the reservoir management office for a while, and then I will lead the salvage team over. There's no way to go down to the lake. ”

"Okay."

"It's going to be dark, if only there were lights on the ship."

"No problem, I'll arrange it." Director Ji immediately walked towards the car.

After a while, Director Ji drove the car north.

At the northernmost end of Yinniu Lake there is a row of buildings, which should be the reservoir management office, and on the shore of the lake below the buildings are several wooden boats, as well as a motorized boat.

In about two minutes, Zhao Zimeng's little blessing machine rang.

It was a call from Wang Ju: "Zimeng, I have already told Captain Luo of the salvage team of the Jingxi Port Authority, and I will personally take them over." ”

"Great, thanks to the king."

"Captain Luo of the salvage team said that the slope of the silver cowbeard is high and steep, and you should prepare a boat."

"Boat, we already have it."

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei waited patiently on the side of the road.

Two people and the police car parked on the lake embankment attracted the attention of people in the distance, only a blink of an eye, some fishermen and people watching the excitement slowly gathered in front of the car, the originally dense fishermen on the shore of the lake, suddenly thinned out a lot, and the nearby anglers all put away their fishing rods.

These onlookers didn't care, and looked at Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei with interest, as if they had foreseen that there was a "good excitement" that they couldn't miss.

Forty minutes or so, an Iveco drove slowly.

At this time, the veil of night unconsciously covers everything near and far.

Two men greeted them.

Iveco stopped abruptly in front of Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei.

The car door opened, and two people jumped out of the car, one of them was Director Wang, and the other was Captain Luo of the salvage team of the Jingxi Port Authority.

Zhao Zimeng and Captain Luo had dealt with each other a few times before, so they knew Captain Luo.

Zhao Zimeng shook hands with Captain Luo.

At this time, four people came down from the Iveco - they were all divers.

The salvage team of the Jingxi Port Authority is the only water salvage team in western Beijing.

The car drove up the embankment of Yinniu Lake, and Zhao Zimeng thought of Captain Luo's salvage team.

Yinniu Lake is a reservoir, not an ordinary river, and if you want to salvage something, you must use the salvage team of the Jingxi Port Authority.

Zhao Zimeng shook hands with the four of them one by one.

Zhao Zimeng led Captain Luo and the four people to the guardrail above the falling point, and explained the situation while gesturing.

Regarding the point where the body and the bicycle fell into the water, Zhao Zimeng said that he was not very sure.

Captain Luo understood what Zhao Zimeng meant, and he said that as long as the corpses and bicycles were in this area, they would definitely fish them up.

"Zimeng, where is the ship?" Director Wang said.

"Director Ji is waiting for us at the reservoir management office, let's go, we'll go over now. Yunfei, are you ...... here," Zhao Zimeng pointed to the guardrail above the scratch.

Ling Hu Yunfei comprehended and beckoned.

The group went to Iveco.

The car drove towards the reservoir management office.

On the pier below the reservoir management office, there are two people, one is Director Ji, and the other is Station Manager Liu of the reservoir management station.

The motor boat has been launched. A worker pulls wires on a boat.

Night is about to fall, and a few lights must be pulled on board.

Director Ji had already seen Iveco driving on the lake embankment here, and also saw Zhao Zimeng shaking hands with Captain Luo and others one by one.

After Director Wang, Zhao Zimeng and Stationmaster Liu shook hands, Captain Luo and others got on the motor boat with diving suits and diving equipment.

The motorized boat travels south along the waterway seven or eight meters away from the shore of the lake.

The motor boat is about ten meters long and four meters wide, with the rear half being the cabin and the rear half being the deck.

Captain Luo and four divers are wearing wetsuits.

After a while, all four lights came on at the same time.

At this time, the night was calmly covered with a black veil, and the Yinniu Mountain revealed a black and rough outline against the backdrop of the night, and the Yinniu Lake was gloomy and tight, like a monster with a big mouth of a black hole.
