"Hello, hello…"
The head of the Criminal Investigation Unit, Zhang Yang, quickly reached out his hand and shook everyone's hand."You've worked hard. You all rushed over today, right?”
"We received news from your provincial office this morning. We immediately set up a team of experts to rush over.”
The old man in the lead had a head of white hair and a solemn expression on his face."Tell me about it. What's the situation now?”
"To be honest, I've been a criminal investigator for twenty-five years and I've never seen anything like this.”
Zhang Yang pulled a long face and fumbled for a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He gave it to the others and lit one for himself.
" The salvage team arrived at eight in the morning. It's been seven hours since then. Ten bodies…"
" Each of the corpses died in the same manner. There weren't many wounds on their heads, and almost all the flesh and blood on their bodies had disappeared, leaving only piles of white bones…"
" According to the forensic doctor's opinion…"
At this point, Zhang Yang paused and whispered,""It doesn't seem man-made."
"Zhang Yang, pay attention to your identity." " You're a police officer," Bureau Chief Wang Yaogang quickly reminded him.”
"Chief Wang, I understand…"
Zhang Yang took two puffs of smoke in frustration."We have contacted the flood control headquarters. The news is that the flood has suddenly occurred. The Yellow River upstream of Gulan County is the same as usual.”
"Now that we have unified the media, we must block this information.”
With his hands behind his back, Wang Yao led the expert group to the bank of the Yellow River and said,""According to the County Cultural Relics Bureau, Gulan County has a special geography, especially in the Dragon Ridge area. There are many ancient tombs, which involve a lot of underground water.”
"We can't rule out the possibility that the flood is caused by the rising of the underground water.”
A geologist opened his mouth and looked up at the upper reaches of the Yellow River."How's the flood resistance?”
"Currently, the Yellow River embankment has been reinforced. Thousands of flood-fighting soldiers have been fighting all night. If the water level does not continue to rise, there is no need to worry about the risk of the embankment bursting.”Wang Yao said.
"Old Xu, has your field ever been involved in this kind of geological anomaly?”
At this moment, an archaeology professor beside him slowly squatted down and examined the corpse. He was so scared that he quickly covered it with a white cloth.
The white-haired old man called Old Xu nodded."Why not? Tsunami is one of them…"
"The Yellow River can also erupt with a water howl?"
The archaeologist was stunned." Let's talk about the facts. Gulan County has no signs of earthquakes. Only the Yellow River section has occurred. Don't you think this is beyond the field of geological research?”
"Old Ma, do you think there are ghosts?”The white-haired old man was immediately unconvinced.
"You don't say."
The archaeologist pointed at the row of corpses and said,""Before I came here, I did some research. Since the Yellow River entered the Yellow Plateau, there has been a lot of silt. Gulan County is the section with the most silt. In such a place, it is impossible for anyone to dive into the water and commit murder.”
" Old Ma, you're a materialist after all…" The white-haired old man reminded him angrily.
"In this world, there are too many things that science cannot explain.”
The archaeologist said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,""I just asked the female reporter named Su Mi. She told me personally that last night, before boarding the sheepskin raft, she saw an ancient corpse by the river.”
"There is such a thing…"
Captain Zhang Yang added,""According to her description, if it's true, the corpse was most likely washed out from a tomb.”
"See, this is what I wanted to say…"
"None of the ten bodies belong to the 1182 archeological team," the archeologist said with a gloomy face."In other words, the thirteen archeologists are still missing.”
"Thirteen are not the only ones missing now.”
Bureau Chief Wang Yao took a deep breath and said,""According to our understanding, the 1182 archeological team entered the Dragon Ridge area by boat. There were two crew members on board. Now, both the crew and the boat have disappeared.”
"And the three young men from last night.”Zhang Yang also reminded.
"In that case, at least eighteen people have gone missing.”
The archeologist's face was extremely gloomy as he looked at the rolling Yellow River."This makes me have to mention Professor Peng Jiamu.”
"Old Ma, you're going too far…"
The white-haired old man hurriedly interrupted him and said in a deep voice,"Professor Peng Jiamu disappeared in the desert. The biggest possibility is that he was buried by a sandstorm. Today, there are 18 people who disappeared alive.”
"What was the result?" " Humph!" Old Ma snorted." There's only one answer. There's something underground in Dragon Ridge, and it's something that we can't explain at all."”
"Why don't you just say that there's a ghost?”
"How are we supposed to report to the higher-ups?" The white-haired old man became even angrier. Could it be that there's a ghost in the Yellow River and we can't give a solution?”
"I have a plan…"
Old Ma was unyielding. He raised his hand and pointed at the canyons on both sides of the Yellow River."Find some Feng Shui masters who understand the Book of Changes and the Eight Trigrams. In this aspect, they are much better than us.”
"Isn't this nonsense?"
The white-haired old man was so angry that his entire body trembled. He spread out his hands and said,"The whole country is paying attention to this matter now. Look…how many media reporters are outside? What would it look like if we resorted to feudal superstition at this time? Are you going to perform the God Soul Ferrying here?"
"I can't convince you, but I'm telling you, if you don't do this, something bigger might happen.”
Old Ma seemed to be too lazy to argue. He waved his hand and left angrily.
