Breaking the ice to search the river now is definitely not realistic.
But the murderer must have left traces when he cut into the ice.
Searching the ice for traces of excavation might yield some results.
Shen Ting had already told the trio that the high-probability zone he circled was based on the assumption that the four missing people had been murdered.
Therefore, when the trio narrowed down the search area, finding the location where the body was dumped was naturally their first priority.
"Baihe?"
After reading the message from the three-person team searching for the body, Shen Ting frowned slightly.
Just as Jigsaw said, if the body really was thrown under the ice...
It's practically impossible to search for it now.
Although the Baihe River is not as powerful as the Yangtze or Yellow River, it has carved out the Baihe Canyon, and its water volume and river width are still quite considerable.
The body was thrown into the river and has long since been washed away to who knows where.
This means that even if the ice surface where the hole was cut is found, the body still needs to be searched downstream.
But it's impossible to break the ice completely from such a large frozen river.
We can only wait for it to thaw naturally.
That would take at least two or three months.
Shen Ting can't afford to wait!
The families of the missing persons cannot wait any longer.
"If this Baihe River is truly a place where corpses are dumped."
Then we'll have to find other methods for the follow-up investigation.
Ideally, the body shouldn't have been dumped in the Baihe River.
Shen Ting wasn't hoping for a lucky break.
Several days of heavy snow and low temperatures have caused the ice on the river to freeze very thick.
It is actually quite difficult to carve a hole large enough to fit a person completely into such an ice surface.
Even more difficult is!
The holes that were drilled will freeze again.
If the murderer disposed of the body alone, then at least four holes would have been drilled.
The workload is too much!
Moreover, there is a risk of being witnessed by others while chiseling ice on the ice for an extended period of time.
Therefore, sinking corpses in the icy river is an excellent idea.
However, there are many limitations in its implementation.
More than an hour later, the officers returned to the police station and began to rest.
Nothing more was said that night!
The next day, before dawn, Shen Ting and the others got up and assembled.
We set off now, heading towards the destination we scouted yesterday, just as dawn broke.
However, on the way, Shen Ting discovered...
Xu Xinyi, who was in the front row, stopped writing and drawing in her little notebook.
Instead, he repeatedly observed Shen Ting through the rearview mirror.
Even the police officers around him looked at him with somewhat strange expressions.
Something must have happened.
Shen Ting asked curiously:
"Sister Xu, what are you secretly looking at?"
Tell me, what happened?
Xu Xinyi immediately looked away, feeling guilty, and said:
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
"It's just because you look particularly handsome today!"
"Sister Xu, I remember you said that before."
When I lie, I say "uh" or cough, right?
Actually, it's quite obvious when you lie.
Your neck, and even your body, will straighten.
Shen Ting laughed:
Something must have happened.
Tell me, what exactly happened?
Xu Xin touched her straight neck and thought to herself, "Is it that obvious?"
Then, helplessly, he said:
You probably haven't seen today's trending topics, have you?
You're trending!
See for yourself the front page headline!
