Chapter 24: Concave Riverbank! Silt!



Xiong Beibei and Xu Xinyi also read the case files.

Of course I know that the pond was designated as a key inspection area that year and was checked repeatedly several times.

So, they didn’t understand why Shen Ting wanted to return to the pond.

When they heard Chen Ting say that it might be a car dumping site, the two of them lost their composure.

Hasn't that pond been completely ruled out as a suspect?

How could it be a car dumping site?

Didn't the investigation team back then, and the task force that followed, all conclude that the criminals drove the Hummer out of the suspicious area through a hidden path?

This is why the two felt that Shen Ting had been completely wasting his time these past few days.

There is absolutely no need to explore this area again, or explore it so carefully.

Chen Ting knew what they didn’t understand, but now, he actually didn’t dare to say 100% that the pond was the place where the car was dumped.

It's not about doubting the eyesight of Kira Yoshikage and others, but doubting whether the criminal can really accomplish it. Isn't this a thrilling operation like walking on a tightrope off a cliff?

"It's just speculation!"

Shen Ting simply perfunctorily responded.

The two of them frowned even more tightly.

Just like the moods of the two people, the car's journey back to the pond seemed even bumpier than before.

After more than half an hour, we stopped by the pond!

When Shen Ting got out of the car, an abnormal smell immediately rushed into his nose.

It's hard to describe the specific smell, but it's a bit like diluted pesticide.

Although the upstream industrial area moved next door nearly twenty years ago, the remaining sewage has obviously not been completely eliminated.

Abnormal white foam can be seen in many places along the edge of the pond.

In the sunlight, the water's surface is not shimmering, but rainbow colors reflected by the flaky oil.

Beautiful but also dangerous!

Xu Xinyi stood by the pond. The water was so shallow that he couldn't even see the bottom. The water was dark.

“The metabolic capacity of the natural environment is very strong.

After so many years, the pond should be clear now.

It shouldn’t be this dirty!”

Xiong Beibei said: "You are not from Dajing, so you may not know.

The poor water quality here is not just due to sewage discharge from industrial areas.

This is mainly because there was a sewage leakage accident.

It seemed to be a copper smelter or a steel mill. The high-temperature liquid metal leaked and melted the sewage storage tank.

All the sewage flowed into the river upstream!

This incident caused quite a big stir back then!

But I was still young then, so I don’t remember it very clearly.”

So that’s how it is!

Shen Ting really didn't know about this. The memories he inherited from his original body were very limited.

Xu Xinyi and Xiong Beibei both looked at Chen Ting:

“So…what should we do now?

Contact the bureau and ask them to send frogmen to salvage it?"

"Will the bureau agree?"

Whether you are looking for a frogman or an ordinary police officer, there must be a reason!

Xiong Beibei and Xu Xinyi felt they would be called brainless if they just said they suspected this was the dumping site of the car in the Luoshui kidnapping case.

Shen Ting was also hesitant.

Because he knew that many people were dissatisfied with his role as a consultant.

If we don't handle it well this time, it's possible that we will be "brought down" by others.

At this time!

The phone vibrated, and there was new news from the crime-solving group.

Chen Xu: "Group leader, go check on the other side of the pond. There's something wrong with the waterfront over there."

The other side?

Chen Ting looked over there from afar and saw only a slender, yellow blade of grass swaying slightly in the west wind.

kiko: “(,,?? . ??,,)

Great painter, what's the problem?"

Tang Ren: "It's just an ordinary waterfront~~~"

Chen Xu: “No, that river bank seems to be a little lower.

It’s lower than when the investigation team searched here more than ten years ago!”

Um?

Can you see this?

Shen Ting looked at the dense weeds opposite and was a little surprised.

If it is bare soil, it is normal to see differences in height.

But the place is overgrown with weeds, and it's winter now.

And the crime happened in spring!

The growth conditions of weeds are obviously different.

How can you tell the difference?

Chen Xu directly uploaded two hand-drawn pictures in the group.

The paintings are naturally of the opposite river bank.

Shen Xu: “This is the bare river bank after removing the vegetation.

The riverbank 12 years ago was noticeably more concave than it is today."

Guan Hongyu: "This is normal!

After all, it has been 12 years since the last meeting. Rain erosion, river bank collapse, etc. may cause differences.

Doesn’t that explain anything?”

Shen Xu: “These possibilities do exist!

The problem is that the depression is too abrupt.

It's like a steamed bun that has been bitten by a dog.

The transition areas of depressions caused by natural causes should be smoother.”

Tang Tan Qin Feng: "You mean, someone tampered with that riverbank?

Considering the case, perhaps after the criminals sank the Hummer, they used an excavator or other equipment to dig up the soil on the shore to cover...cover the Hummer?"

Shen Xu: "Yes, that's my guess."

Tang Ren: "No, that's too cautious~~

And at that time, there were so many police officers in this area.

Do they dare to drive an excavator here?"

Guan Hongfeng (brother): “Then it was not dug up and covered up during the large-scale police investigation.

Perhaps, after the police ruled out the pond as a suspect, the criminals sank the Hummer here.

Once the investigation team disbands and the area is cleared, we will bring in excavators to further bury the remains.”
