Zhang Qichao has often complained with people over the years, his 4S store has been smashed, and his car has been burned, but in the past two years, his life has been very peaceful, and his enemies have also stopped.

He also didn't understand why his son disappeared suddenly, and the most likely suspect was his competitor, Li, who was also the owner of a 4S store.

This person had a big fight with him for agency in the past, and the relationship has always been at odds.

Although Zhang Qichao said a lot, Tang Tao and Sophie didn't listen much.

At this time, they didn't have any interest at all, Zhang Qichao's matter could be handed over to the Tonghe County police to deal with, they didn't have the energy, and they didn't want to interfere, but because of Director Zhu's face, they still responded.

But Tang Tao has one condition, that is, the Tonghe County police must cooperate with him in investigating Zhou Shuzao's case.

Director Zhu immediately responded, and now that this matter has been stabbed on the Internet, the pressure on the police in Tonghe County is very great, and a master like Tang Tao is willing to come out to help, so they naturally can't ask for it.

The first thing Tang Tao asked them to do was to investigate in detail the situation on the day of Zhou Shuzao's disappearance, and record all the places they had been to and what they had bought.

Before the dinner was over, Tang Tao and Sophie left the table in a hurry, and the two went to the food stall together, ordered Coke and barbecue, and Lao Guo also came together, and the owner of the food stall was his old acquaintance, and for this purpose he also specially roasted Sandro's favorite pig tail.

Now that the Zhou family has been alarmed, it is not meaningful to go to the village to investigate again, the key to this case is Zhou Shuzao, and everything can be solved by finding her.

After eating the barbecue, several people drove to Qiaodong Road again.

Late at night, Qiaodong Road is still lively, and the vegetable sellers have started wholesale transactions since this time, and there are people inside and out.

The direction of the investigation of this case is particularly important, whether Zhou Shuzao was an accident or a murder, although they are both deaths, but the connotation is very different.

Accidents can happen anytime and anywhere, there is no foresight, and the place where the accident occurs may be a very remote place, or it may be a downtown area.

The location of the murder must have been in the middle of nowhere.

In this way, the relatively lively places in the area of Qiaodong Road are excluded.

When a few people passed by the door of a barbecue restaurant, they found an acquaintance squatting on the side of the road on the phone, white shirt, suit pants, smoking cigarettes and swearing, isn't this Director Wu?

I really wanted to come to something, Tang Tao was about to go to Director Wu, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to appear, and quickly stopped and leaned over with Sophie.

"You let him come, I've been afraid of anyone, I'll fight one when I come."

Director Wu was bragging about being patted on the shoulder when he turned around and was about to scold, when he saw that it was Sophie, he was immediately stunned.

"I still have something to do, hang up first." Director Wu hurriedly hung up the phone, burped and said, "Several, I've said everything I should have said, why are you still looking for me?" ”

"Of course I'm chatting with you, do you remember the pair of grandchildren? Take us to the place where you speak, of course you can refuse, if that is the case, then we can only ask you to go to the police station. ”

Sophie twisted Director Wu's neck and stuffed it into the car.

Director Wu dared to refuse, and obediently led everyone to a meadow behind Qiaodong Road.

"That's it, I swear, I ...... I just shoved him, but I didn't really hit him. Director Wu couldn't laugh or cry.

"What? You also pushed it? Sophie glared at Director Wu again.

"I really pushed it, it was very light, I just scared him."

Tang Tao glanced around, the location of this place is relatively remote, there is a small river behind it, the river is full of trees, and there are several garbage cans on the side, the smell is stinking, basically no one comes.

"And then, where did they go?" Tang Tao asked.

Director Wu pointed in the direction of Xiaohe and said, "Went that way." ”

Tang Tao didn't say anything and quickly walked towards the embankment.

"Where does this road lead?" Sophie asked.

"By the river."

"Nonsense, I said go along the river."

Director Wu pointed to the front and said: "In front is the bank leading to the Luo River, and then it will go out of the city, and then it will be out of the city, and behind it is the Qingquan Reservoir, which was originally the drainage ditch on the right side of the reservoir." ”

Reservoir?

Sophie had looked at the map before, and there didn't seem to be a reservoir in this place.

Lao Guo understood Sophie's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "The Qingquan Reservoir was dug in the last century, and now it has basically been abandoned, and most of it has dried up and turned into farmland, and there is still water in a small part. ”

Not far away, Tang Tao also stopped, and a rusty warning sign stood in front of him.

There is a line on it: There is a reservoir ahead, and it is forbidden to stay overnight here!

There were also some discarded tents and charcoal by the river, and seeing that there were often people camping by the river, Tang Tao turned on the flashlight and walked upstream.

Sophie grabbed Director Wu and followed.

This river is more like a ditch than a river, it is four or five meters wide, the river is full of silt, the river water is also very shallow, and you can clearly see the swimming fish at the bottom of the water under the illumination of the flashlight.

Director Wu was pulled over reluctantly, and kept saying that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Sophie yelled at him a little annoyed, he was honest.

However, although this guy is annoyed, he is indeed very familiar with this area, and he can tell what lies ahead and where he will pass before he arrives.

The more you go inside, the more remote it becomes, large areas of farmland begin to appear on both sides of the riverbank, the fields are full of straw, black like black giants, Director Wu is frightened and his legs and stomachs turn around, and he keeps saying that people have drowned in this river, and there are lonely ghosts and ghosts everywhere.

"Let's go back, there's really nothing to see here, it's uphill in front, and then there's a reservoir, there's no one, they won't come to this kind of place." Director Wu shrank his neck and rubbed his hands, and the wine was also scared awake at this moment, only to feel a chill on his back and his hair to stand up.

"Did you search these places?" Sophie asked.

Lao Guo nodded and said: "Searched, you also saw that the river is so deep that it is impossible to drown, and Zhoujiabao said that the child may have fallen into the river, and we have always focused on the Luo River." ”

From the point of view of accidents, the river is indeed out of the consideration, it is too shallow for an accident.

But if it is not an accident or murder, then it is undoubtedly the best choice to take this path in a way that is both hidden and safe.

"We always thought it was an accident, and now I think so......"

"Not an accident!" Tang Tao interrupted Lao Guo's words and said: "Everything is not an accident, it is murder, you have all been deceived by Zhou Jiabao, after learning that Lan Xiaocao was sick, he thought about everything, the Zhou family couldn't make up the high medical expenses at all, he was very anxious, he kept thinking about how to make money, he found a loan shark, and then borrowed the entire building. ”
