Chapter 269 The Vast Gobi Desert
As the car drove from Kang'an City to the vast Gobi desert, Cen Lian suddenly felt absurd that he had been sent to the frontier.
"It's over, I don't know which one is more desolate, this place or Ninggu Pagoda." Tang Hua muttered as he drove, "Are these the legendary camel thorns on the roadside?"
"We have been to Ninggu Pagoda," Wu Qiushan reminded him, "these are indeed camel thorns, as well as plants like Salix."
Wu Qiushan explained skillfully and looked at the time, "It seems we can't get to Liangzhou until dark."
"I used to look at the map and say that the terrain here is long and narrow, but now I know that it is really long." Tang Hua changed his position and continued driving. "Would you please replace me in the next service area? I can't drive anymore."
It was already afternoon, and they had been speeding on the highway for seven or eight hours.
"Looking at the Gobi Desert along the way, what do you think now?" While taking a rest and eating in the service area, Cen Lian skillfully added water to the instant noodles while looking up at a few people with haggard heads and brains.
The Liangzhou Municipal Bureau was very sincere and planned to book a flight for them and fly there directly, but Cen Lian refused.
Since this case happened in the Gobi Desert, they should get familiar with this environment as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to find any new entry point to solve the case for a while.
"The idea is that these colleagues in Liangzhou are really unlucky," Tang Hua whispered. Qi Yunlong and the others were making noodles not far away. It was not polite to be heard. "We encountered two strong winds along the way. This corpse has already The bones have turned to such an extent that it’s hard to tell where it came from.”
Wu Qiushan looked at the weather outside.
"The environment here is very dry. Does the corpse turn into bones slower?" He asked Lin Xiangqi.
"It's much slower. Have you heard of the Loulan mummy? Some corpses will not turn into bones at all due to severe dehydration. Therefore, the time of death given by the forensic doctor of the Liangzhou Municipal Bureau is very vague and cannot be used for investigation." Lin Xiangqi With some disgust, he put aside his uneaten and fatty Roujiamo, and also thought about what other ideas he could think of in this case.
Ququhan saw that she didn't seem to want to eat the meat buns, so he took it over naturally and talked about what he had been doing today while eating.
"I was looking for missing persons in several nearby cities in the past two years on the road, and I found something really strange in it," she said vaguely before dumping a list in the group, "I checked it out. , the number of young adults among the missing people slightly exceeds the standard, and the proportion of people engaged in occupations such as tour guides and drivers in last year's list of missing persons is higher than that of other cities in their province. This data is higher than that of our Kang'an City. "
This data successfully made everyone vigilant.
"It's higher than our city. This is indeed a bit of a problem." Wang Yuanteng took a sip of hot tea and opened the data file. "Our city is considered a popular tourist city. The proportion of tourism-related employees in the population is already higher than that of other cities. The number of missing people The proportion of employees in related industries should be high, after all, the base is large. Although the cities in Long Province are also tourist cities, at least the proportions in the cities near Liangzhou should not be higher than that in Kang'an City. "
"Is there a case report that the tour guide or driver was killed?" Cen Lian looked a little solemn. "If there are really no clues in this case, we can try to look in this direction."
