Huang Lili immediately returned to the driver's seat and started driving.
Five minutes later.
The vehicle stopped at the next intersection.
Guan Feng got out of the car and, just like when he checked the first tire track, he lowered his head and carefully examined it. After a moment, he stood up, shook his head, and said, "No vehicles have passed by!"
Huang Lili frowned and asked, "How could that be? There's that camera right ahead. Is there another way?"
Tan Kai then reminded him, "Captain Guan, there's a pond not far from here on the way. It doesn't look very big, but it's very deep. People around here say it's a mass grave, and it's really deep. Do you want to go take a look?"
Guan Feng said, "Is that so? Let's go take a look!"
The group then drove back.
A moment later, a pond appeared before everyone's eyes.
Guan Feng understood why he had overlooked it earlier. The pond was small, and with the surrounding aquatic plants, the exposed water surface was only about four or five square meters, just enough for a minivan to enter and exit.
He subconsciously felt that if the van fell into the water, there would definitely be traces.
He asked, "Has anyone tried going that deep?"
Tan Kai said, "I heard from the villagers before that they tried to dig the water down with a four- or five-meter fishing rod, but they couldn't reach the bottom."
Guan Feng frowned and said, "Then this is deep enough!"
Tan Kai nodded and said, "Yes! It was because of this that I suspected it might be possible here."
Guan Feng said, "Whether it is true or not, it's commendable that you thought of this. Let's get out of the car and see what's going on." With that, he opened the car door and got out.
As soon as he got out of the car, his brows furrowed. He hadn't noticed it from the car, but now that he was by the roadside, he immediately saw signs that the grass had been trampled. He pointed to several places and said, "Here, here, and here! The grass has been trampled by heavy objects, and the soil here has also been damaged. The weight must have been considerable."
Huang Lili asked, "Captain, should we contact the salvage team?"
Guan Feng said, "No rush! Let me check the situation further."
He continued examining the document.
After a moment, he frowned more and more as he looked, and pointed directly to a certain spot and said, "This should be the tire mark left when the vehicle rolled over. You can see the tire tread right here. Judging from the tire tread, it should be a minivan."
Huang Lili said, "Isn't that right?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "We can apply for a salvage team to come now. Also, please make it clear that the pond is deep, and the salvage operation may be very difficult."
"receive!"
Huang Lili immediately made contact.
Upon receiving the news, the city's salvage team immediately contacted the Liancheng Bureau.
Half an hour later.
A heavy-duty salvage vehicle carrying advanced equipment arrived at the scene.
The personnel in charge of the salvage operation shook hands with Guan Feng and asked, "I heard it was a minivan?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "That's right! But this pond is very deep, so you need to be careful."
The salvage manager laughed and said, "Don't worry about that! We're professionals! We won't go down first; instead, we'll use an underwater detector to determine the underwater situation. Captain Guan, you'll see for yourself in a moment!"
Guan Feng said, "You guys are definitely professionals at underwater salvage."
The person in charge smiled and then had someone bring over the underwater detector.
It's something that looks like a frisbee, with a camera on each of the four sides: front, back, left, right, top, and bottom.
The person in charge threw it into the pond, and Guan Feng saw the relevant surveillance footage, which showed the water quality around it and even the aquatic plants.
But this is diving; what about deep water?
As Guan Feng continued to question, the probe continued to descend. When it reached a depth of two or three meters, the underwater visibility dropped rapidly. At this moment, the person in charge of the operation turned on the light. The light, which was only about the size of a flashlight, suddenly illuminated the path ahead, and everything around was clearly visible.
The probe continued to descend.
3 meters!
4 meters!
5 meters!
When the detector came within 6 meters, a silvery-white object appeared on the monitoring screen. The operator immediately moved the detector to the relevant area and, after illuminating the surroundings, confirmed that it was indeed a van.
Guan Feng said, "Move the detector forward and check the license plate."
The operator moved the detector forward to display the van's license plate number.
Guan Feng glanced at it and immediately recognized it as the van that had carried Wang Lianfei. He said confidently, "It's this van. Can we salvage it?"
The person in charge said, "No problem! We have the professional technical means."
He then instructed his operators to begin the operation.
Two more probes were launched into the water. This time, the probes carried steel cables and circled the van continuously until the two cables were tied to the van. At the same time, a turntable tensioning device was used to tighten the relevant turntables.
A moment later.
The relevant preparations are complete.
The rescue vehicle lowered its traction device to enhance its pulling ability and began to lift the van out.
After several tentative salvage attempts, the car was finally retrieved directly from the water.
Splash!
The van was constantly surging downwards, and some fish and shrimp even fell out of the open windows.
Ding!
Once the van landed safely, Guan Feng immediately went up and opened both doors on both sides of the van.
Splash!
A large amount of water gushed out.
There were even some fish and shrimp jumping on the road.
The person in charge of the salvage operation picked up the fish and shrimp one by one, put them back in the plastic bag, and placed them on the vehicle.
Guan Feng then stepped forward to examine the marks on the car.
Although the car had been submerged in water, only the driver's side window was open, so the items inside the car didn't show much change. Guan Feng only glanced at it before determining that the car was of Iraqi condition.
He dialed Lao Wang's number directly in the technical department and asked, "Lao Wang, how's the situation on your end?"
Old Wang from the technical department said, "We extracted hair and tissue from four people in the room. As for the bodies, it's been too long, and I haven't found anything yet. We can only wait for the forensic department's report."
Seeing this, Guan Feng said, "That's perfect! Come over here. We found the van the deceased was riding in. You can check the clues."
Old Wang from the technical department immediately said, "No problem, send me the address."
Guan Feng said, "I'm not familiar with this area either. I'll have someone from the town's police station tell you." He then handed the microphone to Tan Kai.
Tan Kai took the phone and briefly explained the directions to Lao Wang from the technical department.
Old Wang from the technical department immediately said he would arrive right away.
Five minutes later.
A car drove up from a distance.
When the car stopped in front of him, Old Wang got out, frowned at the wet van, and asked, "Did they abandon the vehicle and run away?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Very likely!"
