One thirty in the middle of the night.
Zhao Yu and others finally arrived at the location of the exploration team base, which is a barren wasteland. The mission of the geological exploration team is to help tarstein find minerals on this wasteland.
The base was built on one side of a huge rock. Although it was leeward, the temperature near zero still made Zhao Yu feel the cold of winter in advance.
During walking, people's breath can form a white fog
Under the leadership of Bian Dong, Zhao Yu went straight to the simple house of the exploration team and met with the commanders of China and Tajikistan.
The commander sent by China is Lu Kaixuan, who has always been the head of the secret service in Central Asia. At the time of the incident, he was attending a meeting in neighboring Kazakhstan, so he arrived one day earlier than Zhao Yu.
Moreover, due to different levels, Lu Kaixuan flew directly from the capital of talstan by military helicopter, which naturally saved more time than Zhao Yujie.
To Zhao Yu's surprise, the commander of talstan turned out to be a female officer in her forties, whose name was ANAR.
This woman has the typical characteristics of a central Asian woman, tall, long legs and strong physique. She has thick eyebrows, long eyelashes and big eyes. She is also very beautiful.
Although from the army, the smile makes people feel very sweet.
"Thank you, officer Zhao!" When Zhao Yu entered the room to meet the people, Lu Kaixuan took the lead in shaking hands with Zhao Yu and saying hello, "in fact, we met each other last time in Fengping. But I was sitting behind the director... "
"Oh..." Zhao Yu recalled carefully. He seemed to have some impression. He opened his mouth and asked, "did you seem to be wearing glasses last time?"
"Yes," Lu Kaixuan nodded, "you are a detective. You have a good memory! I'm old and have some eyesight, so I need to wear reading glasses to read documents.
"That time, the officers all appreciated detective Zhao!" Lu Kaixuan complimented, "it's really rare for a talent like you to be proficient in both literature and martial arts.
"It's very kind of you to help me this time!
"Come on, let me introduce you," said Lu Kaixuan, pointing to the beautiful officer. "This is the commander of talstan, ANAR!"
As she spoke, the female officer took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Zhao Yu.
"I've heard a lot about your name," said annal in authentic Chinese, "just call me Annah! Our detection level of talstan is really limited. I hope officer Zhao can give more guidance! "
"You're welcome, you're welcome..."
In fact, despite Zhao Yu's eloquence, she was very resistant to these official communications. Therefore, after a few simple greetings with the two commanders, she directly entered the subject and discussed the case with them.
"During the day, we have checked the environment near the exploration team," Lu Kaixuan said. "We haven't found any suspicious traces.
"The ground here is hard, the climate is dry and windy all year round. For ordinary vehicles, it is difficult to preserve traces, which is very unfavorable to our investigation!"
"We can only initially suspect that someone controlled and kidnapped 12 exploration team members while sleeping late at night, and then took them away.
"But..." ana pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said, "they may have fled to any direction. The tauz wasteland is vast and extends in all directions. It is also difficult to find it."
"What about monitoring?" Zhao Yu asked, "didn't the exploration team monitor?"
"No," Lu Kaixuan replied simply, "they are simple mobile houses, and there is no need to monitor them at ordinary times."
"Our plateau highway equipment is also very rudimentary," Anna added. "Only a few checkpoints have surveillance. I've sent someone to fetch all the surveillance videos I can find!"
"To tell you the truth, this case is really a little strange!" Lu Kaixuan said suspiciously, "we didn't find any signs of fighting from the base. Everyone's rest room looks normal.
"No one turned over their mobile phones, wallets and other personal belongings. Obviously, they came for people!"
"Yes," said Ana, "I have handled several armed hijackings in China. The scene generally looks very chaotic. All valuable properties will be robbed together. It shouldn't be like this!
"The sleeping bag is open and the clothes are missing. It gives people the feeling..." ana frowned. "It's like they put on their clothes and went out!"
"I doubt..." Lu Kaixuan said, "the hijacking was done by a professional team. Someone hired an expert! After all, we have four experienced security personnel among them. If we are hijacked, at least what clues should be left... "
"Master?" Zhao Yu thought quickly and seriously. Is Lu Kaixuan's idea correct?
"We were just discussing this issue," ana said bluntly. "I also agree with Mr. Lu's speculation that it may not be difficult to hijack 12 hostages, but it's not so easy to be silent!"
"The general election of talstan is coming, the situation will be good, and the undercurrent will surge," Lu Kaixuan added. "I think someone must want to use the disappearance of the exploration team to achieve their own goals!"“ There are so many Chinese citizens missing in China, "ana said." this is bound to make the ruling faction very embarrassed and criticized, resulting in their defeat in the general election“ Therefore, our goal now is to start with who is the biggest beneficiary after the ruling faction steps down. Look... "Ana pointed out several cards on the table to Zhao Yu." these are the most powerful opposition factions in China. We plan to use our intelligence agencies to find clues from these factions! "“ Wow... So much? " Zhao Yu picked up the card and looked at it. Although she couldn't understand the words, she could see the number, as many as six“ Among them, these three factions are the current hot spots, "ana took out the three cards and said," this is also our primary investigation goal now... "Listening to Lu Kaixuan and Ana's introduction, Zhao Yu thought in her heart, but it was completely in another direction. He always felt that the disappearance of the exploration team seemed to have nothing to do with what factional struggle! Because it seems reasonable to use 12 explorers as chips to threaten the general election, but if you think about it carefully, it is not suitable for the situation of multi-factional struggle in talstan. Just imagine, if the incident was really committed by an opposition faction, they may use it to get the ruling faction to step down, but how can they guarantee that they will come to power? Moreover, kidnapping the Chinese is no small matter. Once the incident breaks out, it is bound to be destroyed and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, Zhao Yu is more inclined to terrorists. Perhaps this case is just that some terrorists want to kidnap and extort money from the authorities on the occasion of the election! But... If terrorists did it, why hasn't anyone called to blackmail? Moreover, the level of terrorists is limited. Can they do it so cleanly and quietly? Also, they are all poor owners. They don't even take their cell phones and wallets? Tut tut... Suddenly, Zhao Yu remembered what captain Si Rui said. It seems that this kidnapping case about the exploration team is really not that simple!
