Chapter 15: A First Look at the Crime Scene

Liu Xiaodong walked around the neighborhood a few times and took some photos. In front of me is a vast and empty desert, three people, a car, and a few Yadan...... Anything that is put into this all-engulfing desert seems so small.

Liu Xiaodong saw Guo Yixin standing up, so he walked over to her, he wanted to see this sandy land.

Guo Yixin turned around slowly, she suddenly thought of something, looked back at Ma Jin's portrait and said to herself: "Are you trying to tell us something...... Then why don't you say it in your dreams? ”

Liu Xiaodong, who had just walked nearby, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Guo Yingxin stared at her boyfriend's portrait without taking her eyes off, and said quietly: "Why did you take me here in your dream?" ”

"Oh......" Liu Xiaodong touched his chin, thinking that this is the so-called thinking day and night.

He crouched down, stroked the sand on the ground with his hand, looked up and asked, "Where did you feel the loud sound and the light coming from?" …… For example, from the sky, or from the underground? ”

Guo Yixin didn't hear Liu Xiaodong's words, she continued to immerse herself in her thoughts, and Liu Xiaodong called her.

"What did you just say?" Guo Yixin turned her head. Liu Xiaodong asked again.

Guo Yixin looked up and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know!" That's half a second......"

Liu Xiaodong stood up and continued to observe. This sandy area is more than 20 meters away from the panda Yadan, and about 10 meters away from the front right of here, there is a Yadan that is smaller than the panda Yadan, which looks like a large oval stone. Farther away, there is a Yadan that is much larger than the panda Yadan, and that Yadan is big at the top and small at the bottom, giving people the feeling that the center of gravity is unstable and may topple.

"I remember, it was like something like sand hit my hand when it exploded." Guo Yixin said suddenly.

"Something like sand? …… Explosion, you say? Liu Xiaodong frowned.

"Questions? It takes an explosion to stun people! ”

Liu Xiaodong nodded: "That's right, you also talked to the police...... The feeling of an explosion? ”

"Did!"

"Maybe it's the sand that hits your hands!" Liu Xiaodong squatted down again, stuck his hand in the sand and pulled it.

"You mean the explosion came from underground?" Guo Yingxin's eyes widened.

"I'll just say that, the police have been here, and they must have carefully inspected this sandy area." Liu Xiaodong stood up.

Guo Yixin stroked the hair on her forehead and said, "I checked here the day I brought them." ”

Liu Xiaodong stood there clasping his hands, squinting, thinking. The more unbelievable it became, the deeper he got into it.

If the "explosion" is real, those opals are the bait to attract the victims!

"Were the opals still there when you brought the cops?"

"There were only two, unlike many of the ones I saw at the time, when I saw at least dozens of beautiful stones......"

Liu Xiaodong subconsciously dug up the sand with his hands, and after a while, he dug a big hole.

"What are you looking for?"

Liu Xiaodong shook his head: "No...... I'd like to take a few pictures like this. ”

He knelt on the ground and took a few pictures of the pit. Liu Xiaodong has already conceived the accompanying text: "This is the location of the accident, and the pit was dug up by the reporter......"

After about five or six shots, Liu Xiaodong was about to put the camera back, when suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be a yellow thing in the sand pit.

Liu Xiaodong carefully picked it up and looked at it carefully, it was a small piece of wire. It looks like a very ordinary household wire, but instead of the neutral wire and the live wire being entangled, it is a separate one.

Guo Yixin was curious and leaned over: "How can there be such a thing here?" ”

"Yes! I also find it strange. ”

Liu Xiaodong carefully looked at the yellow rubber wire, which was about two centimeters long, and there were many scratches on the surface of the rubber, which looked very old.

"This thread must have been buried in the sand for some time!" Liu Xiaodong felt that this thing could not provide any clues.

Under the action of high winds, this small wire can be blown from the town of Lop Nur to anywhere in the heart of the desert. Still, Liu Xiaodong put the wires in a small plastic bag he had brought.

Guo Yixin looked at him, if Liu Xiaodong wore a pair of white gloves at this time, he would simply be a plainclothes policeman who was handling the case.

Liu Xiaodong smiled at her: "Let me tell you, readers who like to watch the Discovery Channel like these details very much, whether it is useful or not, bring it back first!" ”

"Hey, Brother Xiaodong, I have a big discovery here! Come here! I only heard Wang Zhong shouting from the side of the car.

Liu Xiaodong turned around and found Wang Zhong squatting on the left front wheel of the jeep, holding something in his hand. He and Guo Yixin trotted over and saw Wang Zhong holding a battery in his hand.

"What you found here?" Liu Xiaodong took the battery, which was a No. 5 battery, but the outer wrapping paper of the battery was missing, revealing the zinc shell that had been eroded by the wind and sand. After looking at it for a while, Liu Xiaodong blurted out: "It's strange! ”

"Haha, what's so strange about this, brother?" Wang Zhong grinned. He shouted and called Liu Xiaodong over, just joking.

"This place, it's unlikely that someone will come in normal times, how can there be batteries left here? Can a strong wind blow this battery here? Liu Xiaodong looked over and over at the battery in his hand.

Wang Zhong disagreed: "Brother Xiaodong, you don't know this, there may be people in any place in the entire Lop Nur!" Some come to play, some to explore, some to pick up stones, and some to work, such as you, such as those who are engaged in exploration, and by the way, those GIs......"

Guo Yixin also felt that this was the reason, and nodded slightly.

Recognized by the beauty, Wang Zhong continued to analyze proudly: "You think, this No. 5 battery is a commonly used thing by people, it's not strange to throw it here when it runs out, and you can't smash flowers and plants here, besides, our troops have also dropped atomic bombs here!" ”

Liu Xiaodong was amused, it seems that it is indeed not surprising that there are batteries here.

Liu Xiaodong wanted to go farther away to observe the surroundings, but Wang Zhong chased after him. At this time, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zhong was worried that there would be an accident on the way to Loulan, and the most likely thing was that the car was stuck in the sand, so he could only hurry forward.

Li Xiaodong got into the car, asked Wang Zhong to drive the car to a higher place, took a few photos of the desert from a distance, and then the jeep returned to the sidewalk and drove in the direction of Loulan.
