After hanging up the phone, Xu Mingzhi called two policemen over and prepared to take a walk upstream along the Lushui River.

It can be inferred from the scene where the corpse showed waxing all over the body that the corpse should have been submerged in the water after being dumped. However, although the Lushui River is called a river, the amount of water is actually not large, and there is no water for most of the year, and the water flow will only be greater in spring and summer. Therefore, the previous inference of the Lushui Town Police Station should be correct, and there is a good chance that the body was brought down by the water when the Luzhuang Reservoir was released two days ago.

However, under the impact of the huge current, even if something is brought down together, it is basically impossible to find it. It's just that although there is little hope for this trip, it is still necessary to go.

Yu Guang was also bored, the most important thing was that the smell in the air was really a little unpleasant, so he also got out of the car, planning to follow Xu Ming upstream.

The floodway of the Luzhuang Reservoir is not directly connected to the Lushui River, and there is an unnamed river in the middle, about two kilometers long.

Yu Guang and Xu Ming, under the guidance of two policemen, first walked upstream along the Lushui River for more than a kilometer before turning into the nameless river.

On both sides of the river is a hillside overgrown with shrubs, and although there is a dirt road on the other, there are still shrubs more than a person high between the dirt road and the river.

After the reservoir was released two days ago, there was still a lot of water in the river, and the lights swept through at night, and it was dark.

The four of them walked for an hour, and finally reached the end of the river, the spillway of the reservoir dam.

In the dark, the cement floodway looks like a giant mouth, which is daunting.

Xu Mingzhi swept around with a flashlight, then turned his head and asked the police: "Can I go in inside?" ”

This Luzhuang Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Yuehu City and a major source of tap water in Yuehu City. There is a water plant under this dam, and the spillway is also within the wall of the water plant, so if you want to see what is going on, you have to enter the water plant.

After the Lushui Town Police Station arrived at the scene and deduced that the body may have come down from the reservoir, it had already contacted the water plant. Therefore, the security guard on duty at the door has been waiting for a long time.

When the four of them came over just now, the security guard saw the light of the flashlight, and he was already looking at the door of the security room.

After the four of them entered, the security guards followed.

Xu Mingzhi didn't stop him, and the other two policemen didn't open their mouths when they saw this.

Xu Mingzhi went to the floodway first, and under the back and forth of the flashlight, the long floodway could only see a little moss, not even a stone, let alone anything else.

Although Xu Mingzhi didn't hold out much hope, he still turned his head and asked the security guard who followed behind: "Have you found anything here in the past two days?" ”

The security guard shook his head and said no.

Seeing this, Xu Mingzhi pondered for a while, and asked him again: "When was the last time this reservoir was discharged?" ”

The security guard was mistaken and replied, "Just two days ago, on the morning of the 4th, it seems to be around ten o'clock." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the policeman next to him had already reacted, so he took over: "We asked before, the last time was in August last year, and the specific date will not be known until tomorrow when they check the information after they go to work." ”

Xu Mingzhi nodded, then looked up at the towering dam in front of him. It was like a colossus lying between the mountains, silent and dangerous.

"If you want to go to the dam, you have to go to the other side, and the road here is broken in some places, and it hasn't been repaired yet, so it's not easy to walk." The security guard next to him saw Xu Mingzhi looking at the dam, so he spoke cautiously.

Xu Mingzhi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's go up and have a look." When the words fell, Yu Guang glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the words back.

So, the five of them followed the darkness to the other side of the dam and began to climb up the steps. The dam was steep and towering, and the five of them walked for seven or eight minutes before finally reaching the top.

Compared to the other three who were out of breath, Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang only took two breaths to calm down.

Xu Mingzhi glanced at Yu Guang with some surprise, but thinking that he was able to escape from the Yongtai Gang's stronghold alone in Xiyong, he was not so surprised by the physical strength he showed at this moment.

The Luzhuang Reservoir is very large, with a total capacity of more than 80 million cubic meters, in the dark night, at a glance, you can't see the edge, only to see the black and swarthy water surface, shining faintly under the light of the flashlight.

Such a reservoir is a murder that happened at least half a year ago, and it is basically impossible to find any clues from here, and it is unlikely that even the place where the body was dumped can be determined.

It seems that we can only hope for Director Yuan.

Xu Mingzhi looked at the water, sighed secretly, and prepared to return.

At this time, Yu Guang suddenly opened his mouth and asked the security guard next to him: "Is there usually a boat in this reservoir?" ”

Xu Mingzhi glanced at him in surprise.

The security guard replied: "Normally, except for our own work boat, no other boats can be launched. However, there are always unruly ones, and this reservoir is too big to look at. Just last month, there were people who drove a boat to the middle of the reservoir at night to steal fish, and they were not afraid that if the boat capsized, they would even take their lives into it! ”

When Yu Guang heard this, he asked: "Is this situation often happening?" ”

The security guard thought for a moment and said, "It's not often true, but in the summer, it's more like this." ”

"Do you know who came to steal the fish?" Yu Guang asked again.

The security guard shook his head: "No one has been caught, but nine times out of ten, it is from the nearby village." Even if people in the city come at night, they usually just fish on the shore and dare not go into the water. ”

After hearing this, Yu Guang fell silent. After a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked him, "Do you know how much the flood discharge is this time?" ”

The security guard was stunned, and then shook his head: "I don't know about this person who has to ask the person in charge of this piece." ”

When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he immediately turned his head and instructed the two policemen: "After their staff goes to work tomorrow, remember to ask." ”

The police immediately nodded.

Yu Guang looked at the surface of the water again, and in the faint light of the night, under the seemingly calm water, no one knew what was hidden.

"Let's go." Xu Mingzhi saw that Yu Guang had no other problems, so he led people down the dam. On the way to the outside of the reservoir, Xu Mingzhi asked the security guard: "Can outsiders come in here except for your staff?" ”

"Generally, you can't come in. However, there are also staff members who will bring family and friends to play, and we generally don't stop them in this case. The security guard replied.

"What about the night?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.

The security guard immediately shook his head: "Except for the staff on duty at night, no other personnel are allowed to enter and exit at will." ”

Outside the reservoir, Lao Wang was already waiting. When he saw someone coming out, he immediately greeted him.

"Director Yuan has already gone back with the corpse first, do you still want people to guard the scene?" Lao Wang asked Xu Mingzhi.

After thinking for a while, Xu Mingzhi turned his head to look at the two policemen walking behind, and said, "You work hard tonight, and arrange two people to guard the scene." After dawn, you can withdraw after carefully searching from the scene to this side to confirm that nothing is missing. In addition, Wang Chunfa, the villager who found the body, needs psychological counseling, so you can arrange this matter as soon as possible. ”

"Okay." Among them, the older policemen nodded busily.

Immediately, five people got into the car. Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang sat in front, and Lao Wang and the two policemen crowded behind. Xu Mingzhi first sent the two policemen back to the scene, and then took Yu Guang and Lao Wang to the city.

By the time the car entered the city, it was already early in the morning.

Yu Guang was still what he ate when he came out of the Qingshan Town Police Station in the afternoon, and he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. It happened that Xu Mingzhi and Lao Wang were also hungry, so the three of them found a roadside stall and parked the car.
