Back in Taiping City, not far from Qinling, Li Heng first went to a photo studio.

Hand a very old roll of film to the boss and let him see if he can wash out the contents.

"Boss, you're really an antique."

I didn't expect Li Heng to come up with such a super old thing, and the store was shocked.

"Washing must be able to wash out, the film is almost the same, but your maintenance is not very good, and there are not many estimates that can be washed out for imaging."

Li Heng nodded, he naturally knew how well the things that had been buried under the ground for seventy or eighty years could be preserved.

After getting a positive answer, Li Heng asked him to wash as much as he could, and get as much information as possible.

After all, he was really curious about why a legendary folk explorer like Alle Jones would come all the way to the hinterland of China, and did not hesitate to risk his life to go deep into the Qinling Mountains, and finally died in it.

Combined with the rumors that he was going to make a big deal out of the way before his last expedition, it's hard to say that he didn't witness something unbelievable that made his decision.

The explorer more than 80 years ago, the forbidden land of the White Lotus Sect, the wonders in the underground space, the mysterious Jizo spirit and the landform that resembles a human brain, the missing [Pressing Dragon Sword], and the persistent immortal seeker who doesn't know if he really became an immortal......

Although everything was completely buried in the landslide, Li Heng knew that all this was not over yet, and he only saw how much he could explore.

After several hours passed, the store tossed for a while, changed various different cleaning methods, and consulted some veteran colleagues who had long since retired, and then cleaned the film that Li Heng gave him.

"Boss, I'm sorry, you're really too old, and there's only a few that can be washed out in the end, take a look."

There are only three or four photos that can be washed out for visible imaging, and they are all black and white photos that are not so clear, and the store does not think that this kind of photo can be of any use.

But it was enough for Li Heng.

After scanning these photos into relatively clear electronic files, Li Heng took them to an express hotel, took out the laptop computer he had stored before, and after many days, he lived a life with the Internet again.

In these blurry black-and-white photographs, at first glance there are inconsequential things that don't matter, nothing more than mountains, forests, or stones, and some buildings that look like pagodas.

But if it came under the camera of Ale Jones, there must be some special meaning in it.

When Li Heng pretended to be a student of various universities and various researchers on the Internet, he also came into contact with many more advanced and new gadgets, including software for image restoration and all-round search with the help of AI.

Li Heng also retains some backdoor links, and can also log in to "steal" those powerful AI functions.

By using the electronic files of those photos for AI restoration and color filling, Li Heng got relatively clear and complete color photos, and then he logged into another AI system responsible for all-round search and transferred one of the photos to it.

This is an ancient mottled photo of the pagoda, how tall the tower is, because there is no reference, Li Heng is not clear, can only say that purely visually, it is definitely not short.

And what really makes Li Heng heart is a special structure in the center of this pagoda - a diamond-shaped groove!

This groove was very similar to what he had seen on the rock wall next to the "Poisonous Dragon" crack under the Qinling Mountains, and it was the groove where the [Pressing Dragon Sword] had been placed!

Although the diamond shape is a common symbol in all kinds of civilizations, this diamond shape is almost the same as the one under the Qinling Mountains in terms of shape and side length, and it is difficult for Li Heng to think that this is a coincidence.

In addition, Alle Jones also came for this, otherwise he would not have marked those three words in Chinese in his notebook.

All kinds of clues can almost conclude that this pagoda must be related to the missing [Pressing Dragon Jian] under the Qinling Mountains.

So the first thing he searched for was this pagoda.

Surprisingly, however, even though the AI ran for more than ten minutes, it still failed to find a matching target building from the huge global image library.

This made Li Heng a little surprised, how could it be?

Could it be that this stupa is a fake?

But there was no photoshop in ArleJones' time, so where did the fake photos come from, or did the stupa have been destroyed before it was preserved by the world?

Or is it ...... To this day, the stupa has not been discovered by anyone but Ale Jones?

In any case, Li Heng will definitely not get the desired result for a while, which makes him slightly disappointed, the most promising clue in these photos is this pagoda, after all, the landmark is very high.

The remaining three photographs, one of which is the outline of a mountain, looks very ordinary, and feels like the earth is everywhere, and the remaining two feel even more useless, like portraits taken along the way.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Li Heng sent the photos of this mountain to AI big data for searching, and then there were really a lot of mountains that could be matched.

It's just that there are all over the world, so it's hard to tell which mountain it is.

At this time, Li Heng's eyes lit up, and he also restored the two portraits just now, looking for details from them.

"This kind of costume seems to be the characteristic costume of a certain ethnic group in Southeast Asia...... Visually, it looks like the Ta people of Laos, or the Shan people of Shan Biao Country......"

Through this round of analysis, the scope can be further narrowed, directly from Southeast Asia to the border between Laos and Shan Biao, which stretches for nearly 1,000 kilometers of primeval forest.

After adding limited search conditions, AI big data quickly gave the only result - the ancient land of Champa, the mountain of savages!

"It's a ...... in the mountains"

This is the junction of the Shan Biao Kingdom, Laos and Borneo, is the top three mountain ranges in Southeast Asia, and is a wild land that has not been developed so far, covered by a huge tropical primeval jungle, perennial fog and miasma, basically a place to bid farewell to human civilization.

Therefore, it is said that there is a wild man group in that mountain forest, hence the name.

Alai Jones was able to enter this kind of poor mountain and bad water alone and return intact, which shows that his title of legendary explorer is not in vain, but he died under the land of Qinling, which is embarrassing.

"This does make sense, if it is that kind of place, it is indeed very likely that it has not been discovered so far, and the Shan Piu country is also known as the country of a thousand pagodas, and there are countless pagodas and temples in the territory."

Li Heng nodded, this information at least provided him with a direction.

Otherwise, if you want to pursue this secret, you will probably have to travel across the ocean to the Oriental island country to find the whereabouts of the unknown [Pressing Dragon Jian], but in that case, there will be fewer clues, after all, after the end of the world war, the Oriental Ocean has experienced too many changes, and it is difficult to say where that thing ended up.

After some results, Li Heng had the bottom of his heart, closed these AI tools, and opened his mailbox.

In this short period of time, there has been a backlog of emails, most of which were sent by his "netizens".

However, Li Heng didn't want to see these now, he ignored the hundreds of unread letters, and directly found an email from an account in the inbox that had no notes and no personal information.

This is the account Yang Lin used to contact him.

When he saw this email, Li Heng, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but take a deep breath slowly, as if the content of it was also extremely important to him.

Click to open, and the first sentence that comes up is - "Li Heng, Ling's guess is correct"

At the same time as seeing these words, Li Heng's face slowly froze, and an invisible chill gradually spread out around him.

"You want me to help with the results of the investigation have come out"

"The death of your parents ten years ago was not a simple accident, it involved a key person - Ma Hongtu"

Followed by a portrait photo, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat and bald face, looks quite honest.

Li Heng also has a slight impression of this photo, one night when he was still in high school more than ten years ago, a middle-aged man was a guest at home, and his father asked him to call his uncle at that time, and not long after that, Li Heng's parents said that they would go out to work to earn money and save him for future college tuition.

That's the person in this picture.

Ma Hongtu is a work intermediary, introducing jobs to migrant workers in various places, including but not limited to construction sites, mines, chemical plants, farms and pastures...... But most of them are not very formal work sites."

"This man left the country about 10 years ago on the pretext of doing business in Southeast Asia and has not returned to China since"

"Originally, this was not a big deal, there were many people who went abroad in the early years and did not return, and some settled abroad directly, especially in some countries where nationality and residence are not strict, but in the sorting out of cases in recent years, I found an abnormal place, through visits and investigations, I found that the casualty rate of migrant workers introduced by Ma Hongtu is very high!"

"Although most of the employing enterprises he introduced are not safe and formal, the proportion is still too abnormal, coupled with the incomplete policy protection of migrant workers in the early years, this phenomenon is hidden in a large number of materials."

"It wasn't until the recent opening of some bankrupt enterprise general information, many of which were once confidential economic lawsuits, that I discovered that there was a big problem here!"

"Because those compensation disputes after the employment accident and the enterprise were negotiated by Ma Hongtu, the intermediary introducer, some of them went to the public and Taiwan lawsuits, and there were also a large number of private settlements, and Ma Hongtu was responsible for them without exception."

Seeing this, Li Heng himself was able to deduce the latter conclusion, but he still had to read it word by word.

"There is a dark truth hidden under this abnormal situation, a thief was arrested in Liao Province this year, coincidentally he was once one of Ma Hongtu's intermediary gangs, and after interrogating him, we learned that those accidents were largely not pure accidents, but they were artificially created!"

"After they secretly cause fatal accidents, they will immediately negotiate with construction sites, mines and other employment enterprises as employee representatives, strive to deal with the accident in a private way, and then defraud high compensation, and these enterprises often dare not resort to law because of their own non-compliance, and basically accept private affairs."

"In this way, the gang led by Ma Hongtu extorted 13 construction or mining enterprises across the country in this way, causing at least 20 casualties, 38 people died, 12 people were seriously injured and paralyzed, and the amount of fraud was as high as 7 million, and this person was very vigilant, and when he was not traced, he escaped from China with this money ten years ago and went abroad."

"It is likely that it has long since changed its face and settled in a certain country in Southeast Asia under a different capacity"

"This is part of the information currently available to the domestic side......"

This is followed by some packages that need to be looked at in detail.

Bang –

The glass that had been pinched in Li Heng's hand finally couldn't withstand the explosion into a crystal firework.

He finally understood why it was so difficult for Lu Bo to go to other provinces to help him deal with his parents' death and ask for compensation, in addition to the embarrassment of the company and Lu Bo's own low level of education, the bigger reason was that this was a terrible conspiracy!

A ghost in human skin, using other people's lives to collect money for himself.

"Can you help me arrange the exit process?"

Li Heng replied to the email.

Soon, the email arrived in less than two minutes, with a simple sentence: everything is ready.

There was not even a hint of greetings, not even a hint of expression to make him more careful and take care of himself on the road.

But Li Heng's cold face showed a rare smile, and he immediately replied: "Thank you"

There is nothing too expressive, this is how communication is done between two men who identify with each other.

"What a coincidence......

Gently spitting out these words, Li Heng stood up and turned to the world map hanging in the room, and twisted a dart from a frisbee.

Laugh at!

There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the dart was unmistakably deep into the map between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
