The place where the body was found was located on the northwest edge of Beijing. After driving for a few hours, if you drive a little further you can enter the county town. By the time Bai Nuo and his friends arrived, it was already afternoon.

The scene where the boy's body was found has been cordoned off by the police. Seven or eight young men in police uniforms, each holding a shovel, are searching everywhere.

Bai Nuo squatted in the small ditch where the body was found, his brows furrowed and his little face full of frost.

"There's not even a rat hole nearby." Yan Qingyun walked over and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was such a cold day, but he was sweating all over.

"Is there a map nearby?" Bai Nuo stood up and looked around.

She had never studied criminal investigation, but she had taken on several assassination missions in her previous life. The first thing she had to do was find the person according to the employer's requirements.

It's the end of the world. All the surveillance equipment on the road has already failed. Even if they are reinstalled, they will be destroyed by flying mutant beasts. Finding people can only rely on manpower and brainpower.

She doesn't know how to solve cases, but she does have some experience in finding people.

First, you have to determine the direction and look for possible clues and traces along the way.

"Yes, we found a fellow villager from a nearby production team yesterday. He runs in the mountains all year round and then delivers goods to the supply and marketing cooperative in the nearby county. He is very familiar with this area and his drawings are quite detailed." Yan Qingyun said as he took out a notebook from the bag on his back and pulled out a piece of paper that was clipped inside.

Most of the maps currently available on the market are detailed maps of several large cities. There are no detailed maps of the surrounding small towns and production teams, so they can only rely on fellow villagers who are familiar with the current environment to help lead the way.

Bai Nuo's lottery system allows downloading of detailed maps of the surrounding area, but openly she has never been here before and can't find a suitable excuse to explain that she knows the surrounding terrain.

Fortunately, most of his colleagues are reliable. Bai Nuo looked at the simple handwritten map in his hand, actually comparing it with the detailed map in his mind.

The map drawn by the mountain hiker that Yan Qingyun found was very simple, and it only marked which direction to go to which county and which production team.

But the map in Bai Nuo's mind could even detail the size of nearby county towns, the population of production teams, where there were rivers and ditches nearby, and which places in the county had sewers.

Bai Nuo followed the ditch where the body was found on the map and finally found a target.

"Captain Qiu!" Bai Nuo quickly walked towards Qiu Jun with a map in hand, pointing at it and saying, "I've observed that if we follow this river up the river, we'll reach Pingchang County. It's a large county town with good transportation. There are also many small towns and production teams below it. It shouldn't be difficult to find the Tibetans."

Qiu Jun took the simple map from Bai Nuo with a serious expression. He also had a copy of this map and had doubted it at first, but...

"I've also had my doubts about what you've mentioned, but according to the information provided by the police station, the families whose children are missing aren't that close to Pingchang County. There are two large mountains and a small county town between them. Even if they wanted to hide someone, they really wouldn't go to such great lengths to travel that far."

Bai Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his finger and simply drew a route on the map, then said: "Captain, you think so, I thought so too when I first saw this map. Do you think those people chose such an unlikely place just because they wanted to mislead me with this?

Moreover, there is another very important point. This small county town is not big. There are probably only one or two police stations. It is hard to say whether there is an armed team. It is easy to cross it openly. In addition, no one pays attention to this mountain road, so the process of transporting children will be safer and more secretive.

Besides, if a child goes missing, their family will definitely search everywhere, especially for the children from the production teams. Most rural people, if a child goes missing, half the village will definitely come out to search. Hiding the child nearby increases the risk of exposure. It's better to move the child as soon as possible to a place where it's hard to be found, and..."

Bai Nuo turned around and only thought of the stream, following it all the way to the northwest. "Yan Qingyun asked that mountain hiker, and he said that this stream dried up as you went up and led directly to a sewer. Do you think the child's body could have been washed out of the sewer? It rained quite a bit a few days ago."

“It rained a few days ago!”

Qiu Jun said the last sentence almost at the same time as Bai Nuo, his tone was even more excited, and he looked at Bai Nuo with a stern gaze.

"And…there must be rats in the sewers!"

The sewer leads directly to three nearby counties and towns. The reason why Pingchang County was not suspected was that Pingchang County was farther away, and it was not easy for the corpse to be transported there.

But what if there is a heavy rain?

And the child’s body was smaller and lighter!

Coming to the conclusion, Qiu Jun no longer hesitated and directly ordered people to get in the car.

"Yan Qingyun, take three people in the car and follow our car. The others will stay here and wait."

"Yes!"

The two cars drove forward quickly along the small ditch, one in front and the other behind. The roads here were not as easy to drive as those in the city. Fortunately, Bai Nuo's car had been modified, and the shock absorption system could fully cope with such road conditions. In order to let the old and broken car behind catch up, which was noisy except for the horn, catch up, Chen Hui kept driving forward at a low speed.

"Your car... is really nice!" After getting used to the old and broken car in the team, Qiu Jun was always envious every time he rode in Bai Nuo's car.

Bai Nuo glanced at the captain and curled his lips speechlessly: "Okay, stop being envious. When school starts and I have time to go back to the bureau more often, I'll make you a list of materials. You ask the director to use his connections at the machinery factory to buy parts, and I'll modify that old, broken car."

Otherwise, one day when you are driving to chase a criminal suspect, you may not even be able to catch up with his bicycle. If the news gets out, you will be embarrassed as well.

"real!"

Qiu Jun lay sideways on the back of the passenger seat, looking at Bai Nuo eagerly.

Although the captain looks good and would be the type to seduce a wife if he were released, after being devastated by this case, and then making this expression, it's just... unbearable to the eyes.

Bai Nuo frowned, stretched out a finger in disgust to push the head back, and nodded quickly: "Really, really, when have I ever fooled you?"

Speaking of this, Qiu Jun's face suddenly fell, and he looked at Bai Nuo expressionlessly: "Don't try to fool me, half of my salary last month was cheated away by you little bastards!"

"Well, I'm not trying to trick you anyway!" Bai Nuo turned his head embarrassedly and looked out the window, refusing the topic.

But before Qiu Jun had time to laugh, he suddenly thought of an important question.

"What about the engine? Our bureau is short on funds and can't afford to buy an N1 engine."

Bai Nuo sighed softly and looked at his captain speechlessly: "Boss, when I joined the company, didn't the director tell you what I did before? I built the N1."
