Chapter 536 Client
Late at night on October 10st, in the desert.
The three people from Yinchuan wrapped their heads with silk scarves and set up a tent deep in the desert as a temporary resting point for tonight.
The strong sandstorm made it difficult for them to move, and the exploration progress was very slow.
The moment the tent was set up, the three of them got in tacitly. Yinchuan turned around and quickly closed the zipper, thinking that they would finally not be bothered by the dust anymore.
He pulled off the scarf, but did not dare to shake it hard, for fear that the part close to his nose would also be stuck with sand.
The other two imitated his movements. They knew that supplies in the desert could not be replenished and many details had to be taken care of.
Just as Yinchuan took out his sleeping bag and prepared to finish today's work, Lu Yi called.
"…Hello? Brother Ichi?"
"Yinchuan, I just came out of the Alliance Building. Are you with Alei and Guangzhi? Now I will share the case information with you."
Hearing this, Alei and Guangzhi came over immediately.
"Be together, you say!"
"Okay." Lu nodded, and then explained to the three people what he had seen and heard here, as well as Miss Junsha's ideas for solving the case.
"...That's it. I'm going to go to Fuchen Company tomorrow morning to see how things are going over there."
"Not so good." Yinchuan said with a sneer. "We started from that mountain and moved forward towards the desert, but there were too few residents along the way.
We searched for most of the day and only saw three households in total. Two of them were empty, and the other one was occupied by an elderly person who was not aware of the car incident.”
Hearing this, Lu Yi frowned and replied, "Have you carefully investigated the two empty houses?"
"No." Yinchuan blinked blankly.
"We don't have a search warrant from the police, so we don't dare to break into people's homes! That's illegal!"
"That's right." Lu nodded. No one else would dare to enter an empty house rashly.
"Where are the two empty houses approximately? Are they on that hill?"
Hearing Lu Yi's question, Guang Zhi was stunned, and immediately came up and replied: "Huh? It really exists! The two houses we found at the beginning are both on the mountain! One of them is the house of the left-behind elderly, and the other is a vacant room!"
"Give priority to checking those two houses!" Lu Yi said firmly.
"Brother Yi, have you found anything?" Yinchuan looked at the phone with confusion, not understanding what Lu Yi was thinking.
The latter explained: "First, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed. It is A Feng, the second in command of Fuchen Company. It takes about 3 hours for him to drive from Qiuye Town to the crime scene.
You know, Afeng contacted his lover Xiaoying before leaving, and everything was normal.
Assuming that the first victim was Xiaoying, it means that the murderer would not have taken more than three hours in total to kill her, dismember her body, take away her legs, and then ambush the scene on the mountain road in advance.
But there is one thing we need to pay attention to. The new clues that Miss Junsha shared with us are enough to rule out many areas. That is the message that Afeng sent before leaving, asking Xiaoying to "take a shower in advance and change into the right clothes."
But Afeng was riding in a car, not a desert off-road vehicle. If Xiaoying lived in the desert, how would Afeng pick her up?
Walking into the desert? I don't think a rich guy who was just going to meet his lover could do such a thing.
What if Xiaoying walked out of the desert and met on the mountain? What was the point of Xiaoying taking a shower in advance? She would be covered with sand by then! And in the hot season more than a month ago, crossing the desert would make you sweat a lot!
Therefore, Xiaoying is most likely living on the mountain! Even if it's not the two houses you have already discovered, it must be somewhere not far away!"
After listening to Lu Yi's analysis, A Lei and Guang Zhi were shocked! Yin Chuan replied: "I see! Then we will leave immediately!"
"Brother Chuan, wait a minute!" Guangzhi, who was thinking, grabbed Yinchuan, who was about to hang up the phone.
"Brother Lu, I have some information I want to tell you first, and I want to hear your opinion!"
"You say." Lu nodded.
Guangzhi said, "Do you remember? We first came here and found the car because we received a commission! The other party claimed that they saw a guy who looked like an elf hunter near this mountain, secretly searching for a target!
This person claimed to be a nearby resident and promised us a high reward. As long as we can help protect the surrounding wild Pokémon, identify the group of guys and drive them away, we will be given a commission of 10 yuan!
Sister Lina thought this commission was a good deal, and with Brother Chuan in charge, ordinary hunters wouldn't pose a threat to us, so she accepted it.
But when we arrived here and prepared to meet with the client, Sister Lina sent a message saying that the client had withdrawn his request, saying that the group of suspicious people had left and that she was sorry for making us make a wasted trip.
Just like that, for unknown reasons, Sister Lina told us not to rush back, as if she was busy with something at the research institute and could not accept new commissions for the time being.
After hearing what Sister Lina said, Brother Chuan simply took us for a walk around the area. He thought that since it was a rare opportunity for everyone to come to the desert, we could climb mountains together, watch the sunrise, and just treat it as a vacation to relax!
But who would have thought that we would run into that car after walking for a while..."
As Guangzhi spoke, his brows tightened, and he asked Xiang Lu, "Brother Yi, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the commission, but after listening to you share the clues just now, I always feel that something is wrong!"
"Tell me what you think." Lu Yi looked at Guangzhi seriously.
"First, the client claims to be a local resident, but the young and middle-aged people near the mountains are basically working in Qiuye Town, and most of those left at home are the elderly, women, and children, who rarely go out on weekdays.
If he was really a local resident, how could he have only seen the elf hunters but not passed by that mountain road and spotted the car? Unless he had not walked in that direction for more than a month!
But this is the second doubt. Since this person can afford the commission fee of 10 yuan, it proves that he not only loves nature and has a sense of responsibility, but more importantly, he is not short of money!
With so much spare money, would he stay in the mountains for more than a month without going to the surrounding cities? What does he eat? What does he use? Is he really an invisible rich man who loves rural life? Then he shouldn't stay in the mountains near the desert!
With such strong sandstorms every day, the vegetables and fruits he grows won't survive for a few days, right?"
After Guangzhi finished his analysis, Lu Yi smiled and nodded, saying, "Your idea is very correct. There is a big problem with this client. Let's do this. You go investigate the two houses first. I will ask Lina about the commission. Wait for my news later!"
"Okay!" Guangzhi and the other two said in unison.
