Chapter 201: Temple, Solving the Case (asking for monthly ticket)

After returning to the place arranged by the township government, Luo Dun tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

There is no doubt that the township head and local officials are enthusiastic.

Roton was not surprised by this.

To this township, he was indeed a leader from Delhi, a big shot from the capital, which was very rare.

The village head was also very cooperative and talkative.

This all seems perfectly normal.

But Luoton always felt that something was wrong in his mind.

After thinking it over, he found that the problem was still with the reservoir, but this problem gave Roton a headache because he couldn't grasp the clue. He just had a vague feeling that he couldn't explain.

Until he woke up early the next morning, Luoton still didn't figure it out. This feeling of something being wrong kept lingering in his mind and he couldn't sort it out.

Luoton soon recruited Huheya.

Then early in the morning, Luoton and Huheya walked around the village together. This was considered a field investigation, and they asked the local people about some situations.

When asked about the reservoirs, many people hesitated to speak, with a look of panic on their faces. In the end, most people said that the reservoirs were fine, both of them were good.

Hu Heya didn't know why Luo Dun was still asking these questions?

They had already visited the reservoir yesterday, weren't they all there? Therefore, Huheya was very puzzled by Luo Dun's behavior.

Returning to his residence, Luoton frowned.

These villagers were obviously hesitant to speak. There was something hidden inside, probably because they were threatened or something.

Make them afraid to tell the truth.

Is it related to the reservoir? Or some other case?

He didn't think that the officials in this village were any good people, even the talkative village chief, who flattered him in various ways when he followed him.

But he is still a local tyrant in the local area.

How could Roton not know how these guys treated the people below?

They are all a bunch of scum who deserve to be cut into pieces.

I walked around the village but gained nothing.

Considering these circumstances, Luoton felt that those villagers who were hesitant to speak might have something they were afraid to say.

However, the biggest possibility is that there are some quality issues due to cutting corners at the reservoir. However, under the threat of the township government, they dare not speak carelessly about these matters, especially to outsiders.

The township government is fully capable of issuing this kind of gagging order.

Especially since the township government must have some connection with Lawserpi, it is not difficult to prevent these villagers from speaking out.

In other words, the report of building one less reservoir is obviously nonsense.

Roton's vague feeling that something was wrong with the reservoir was somewhat shaken.

"Hurry up, don't you have any special feeling about those two reservoirs?" After coming back, Luoton asked unwillingly.

"Sir, I don't understand what you mean," Huheya replied, "Aren't the reservoirs all there?"

"Indeed." Rawdon sighed.

This is what Luo Dun couldn't understand. This thing is clearly there, why is he still struggling? Even if a villager came to him and told him that there was only one reservoir, he probably wouldn't believe it.

After all, the village head had brought him there openly yesterday, so what was there to doubt? "Mr. Mahesh, can I say a word?" Yunando said.

"Go ahead."

“Actually, I also feel it’s a bit weird,” said Yunando.

"Really?" Hearing Yunando's words, Roden's eyes lit up and said, "Tell me what you think."

If other people really didn't have any special feelings, Rotten really wanted to say that he was too sensitive and overthinking.

But Yunando also said so, and he really wanted to hear Yunando's opinion.

"This? I'm sorry, Mr. Mahesh. It's hard to explain. It's just a feeling. I can't really put it into words." Yunando said a little embarrassedly, "Maybe it was because it was too late at night, so I couldn't see clearly."

"Oh, that's right." Hu Heya smiled, "The last time we went to investigate, it was around this time. It's definitely not as clear as during the day. But the reservoir is so big that we can see it even at night. It doesn't matter."

What Hu Heya said made Luo Dun's heart move: "You said that the last time you went there, it was almost evening? What about other things, such as the time for the government and police to investigate?"

"It's almost evening." Hu Heya shook his head slightly. "As for the investigations that the government and police have done, I'm not sure. It seems that most of the time is in the afternoon, so it should be getting dark soon. Sir, do you need me to confirm it?"

"Hurry up." Luo Dun's face darkened and he said, "Well, you should keep a low profile on this matter and don't let everyone know about it."

"Understood, sir." Hu Heya immediately went downstairs to ask someone.

Roden thought for a moment, looked at Yunando and asked, "I remember you took pictures, right?"

"Yes." Younando smiled, "I imported the photos taken along the way to my computer last night. The scenery is pretty good."

“Any photos of the reservoir?”

“Yes,” Yunando answered immediately, “but it was late, so I didn’t take many photos.”

"Let me see."

Unando quickly brought the laptop over.

Roden began clicking through the photos taken by Yunando one by one.

"This is where you can see the Monkey God Temple, on the mountain road leading to the first reservoir." Yunando explained to Roton one photo at a time.

"This is the first reservoir. It's not completely dark yet, so there are more photos here than those of the second reservoir," said Younando.

"Is this the second one?" Roton quickly clicked on the one below among the photos.

"Yes, it was completely dark, so the only place we could take photos of was the area illuminated by the street lights," said Yunando. "Oh, by the way, I noticed that although the two reservoirs are very similar, they also have differences. The stone tablet with the name of the first reservoir is on the east side, while the second one is on the west side."

The water-blocking dams of the two reservoirs are both oriented east-west.

Of course, Luo Dun also noticed these. The village chief even pointed out to him the inscriptions with the names of the two reservoirs.

In addition to the reservoir name inscription, there are also some names of government officials at that time. These are their political achievements, and they engraved their names on it.

This is very common and popular in India.

For example, building a bridge or a road.

Local officials or politicians would erect various monuments or signs with their names on them.

This is a political achievement, but also a good way for politicians to win votes.

It seems like he is saying, look, I am really working to gain benefits for you, I am really working to seek welfare for the people, please choose me next time.

"These are not photos of the reservoir dam. I just took some random photos of the mountains in the distance at night. It was basically black and you couldn't see anything." Seeing that Roton continued to click photos, Younando said again.

Roden did not answer, but just kept clicking and scrolling.

Yunando didn't say much. He realized that Roden seemed to be looking for something, so he didn't want to disturb him.

Suddenly, Roton cried out in surprise, and the mouse, which had been clicking backwards, immediately moved back again.

Then a photo appeared on the laptop screen, and Rawdon quickly enlarged it again and again.

Yunando looked confused, not knowing what Rawdon was trying to do.

This is a photo he took at the second reservoir facing the opposite mountain. The reservoir can be seen from the close point, and the distant scene is pitch black. Of course, there are stars in the night sky.

"This?" Rawdon pointed at the photo on the screen.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Is this a star?" Younando blurted out as he watched Roden pointing at a barely noticeable bright spot in the photo. "Oh, no, that's not right. It seems to be in the mountains, not in the sky. Whose light is this?"

"Take a closer look," said Rawdon.

Yunando leaned his head in front of the computer screen to take a closer look. After a while, he showed surprise and said, "This seems to be the tall pillar of the Monkey God Temple. There is the outline of the Monkey God statue on it. I remember the village head said that at night, the lights will be turned on there, and the scene is very spectacular."

"Yes, it's the temple." A smile appeared on Roden's face. "I finally understand what the strange feeling I had before was."

“Mr. Mahesh, I don’t understand what you are talking about,” Unando asked curiously.

"We've been deceived and fooled." Roton's face darkened and his voice was filled with chill. "What a great acting skill! We were fooled before. We are being fooled!"

"Cheated?" Yunando still didn't understand what Roton meant.

"There is no second reservoir at all. These bastards only built one reservoir and embezzled the construction cost of the other reservoir." Roton said coldly.

"What?" Yunando's eyes widened. "This is impossible. Didn't we see two?"

"So we were all deceived." Roton said, "Have you forgotten that when we went to see the first reservoir, we could see the Monkey Temple. We could see the Monkey Temple from the other side of the reservoir. And the second one, look at the angle and location..."

After hearing Roton's explanation, Yunando's face soon showed a look of enlightenment.

"They~~they actually fooled us like this?" Yunando said in disbelief, "That is to say, the second reservoir we saw was actually the first one, but we were in the east the first time and in the west the second time."

"That's right, we are just in a different location." Roton said, "They really have good intentions. We were almost fooled by them."

"This? How dare they fool you, Mr. Mahesh? You are now an investigator of the Central Bureau of Investigation. Aren't they afraid of being exposed on the spot?" Although Yunando now knew the truth, he was still extremely shocked.

We were so easily fooled. It was clearly the same reservoir, but we treated it as two different ones. It was simply outrageous.

These guys are really too brave.

If it were him, he would definitely not dare to do that.

"So they took us to see it at dusk. When we saw the second dam, it was already night. At night, many things are not clear, especially in the distance, it is very difficult to really see the surrounding environment, which can easily lead to illusions." Luo Dun said, "Also, after we saw the reservoir for the first time, we walked around in the mountains for more than an hour with their guidance, and we had no idea where we were. We are not locals and are not familiar with the people and the place, so after such a long detour, everyone's first impression was that we walked a long way and must have been to another faraway place. In addition, we stood in different positions, saw different surroundings, and the names on the stone tablets of the reservoirs were also different. Even though the reservoir dams were similar, no one doubted it. These were all planned by them."

Especially the village chief was really an actor. When he brought his people to inspect the reservoir, there was no trace of panic on his face.

And they also actively cooperate in various ways.

This performance gave Roton the first impression that the other party was not at all guilty.

In other words, the two reservoirs should exist. If not, there must be something fishy going on. Otherwise, how dare they bring us to check? I have to say that these guys are really brave. They used reverse thinking to trick me.

In this way, you will have a preconceived idea and feel very good about them, and basically believe that they will not lie to you.

Add to that the fact that it was night and there were detours, and due to these multiple factors, people like me who came to investigate basically believed that they really built two reservoirs, but they just looked similar.

After all, the village chief also had a very reasonable explanation for this. The design plan for the two reservoirs was the same, so there was no doubt that they were similar.

Luoton dared to say that Huheya and others who came to investigate must have fallen into this trap.

As for other government investigation teams, some of them may have been deceived.

Some of them are probably in the same group as these people. If we let these people investigate, what can they find out? The conclusion must be correct.

"Yunando, I have a task for you." Roton said with a serious expression.

"Just as you command." Yunando said hastily.

He was very excited, it was indeed big news.

Not to mention what happened against that charlatan, just based on what happened yesterday, he felt that it was enough to make a movie, it would be absolutely wonderful.

The previous investigation teams were actually fooled like this. You have to know that there are people from the Central Bureau of Investigation in them, who are generally experienced in handling cases.

Such people all fell into trouble here.

If Mr. Mahesh had not been so careful, he would have almost missed it.

In his heart, Younando felt a little respect for the village chief and his gang. They were truly talented.

However, these guys did not use their cleverness in the right way and did some sneaky things, and they will be exposed one day.

And now they have met Director Mahesh. It is their bad luck that the case has been solved.

"Go to the reservoir again and confirm it. Remember not to alarm anyone, especially the people from the township government. Act secretly." said Luoton.

"Isn't this confirmed?" Yunando asked doubtfully.

"To be absolutely sure," said Roden. "After all, this photo cannot completely prove that the second reservoir is the first one. What if there is a second one, and the Monkey Temple can also be seen from the angle of the second one?"

"You've thought it through." Yunando's eyes lit up and he said, "I'll go right away."

Yunando thought about it and it made sense.

Although this possibility basically does not exist, we must be rigorous in handling cases.

Especially with these major cases, we cannot be careless.

I didn't expect that this Monkey Temple would become the key to solving the case.

"I will send two armed policemen to follow you and protect you." Luo Dun said, "If you are discovered, we will first control them. If they are from the township government and dare to resist, we will kill them directly. Do you still know the way?"
