Metropolis: My Reasoning Is Too Strong

Chapter 123

“Perhaps you can ask Erhanzi, he should know something.” The owner of the farmyard suddenly said next to him.

“Who is Erhanzi?” Zhao Daqi asked strangely.

The owner of the farmyard sat on the small bench and began to explain.

“Erhanzi is a young man in the village. He looked stupid when he was a child, so everyone called him Erhanzi.”

“His parents died early, so they dropped out of school early and didn’t go out to work, so they planted a little bit at home to maintain their living.”

“But the young man learned to pick medicine from his father, and sometimes he would go up the mountain to pick some medicine in exchange for money.”

“About a few years ago, when he was collecting medicine on the mountain, he met a fellow traveler with an injured foot, so he distributed a bit of dry food to the fellow traveler, and relied on his strength to carry the fellow traveler down the mountain. At that time, he walked for almost a day. One night!”

“As a thank you, my travel friend gave Erhanzi all the cash he had, which is almost a few thousand yuan!”

“From this time on, Er Hanzi seems to have gotten awake.”

“Every time he sees a donkey go up the mountain, he prepares dry food and water, carries the medicine basket, 04 also follows the mountain, and follows the donkey from a distance.”

“This kind of behavior like stalking makes the donkey very awkward, but after all, the mountain is not yours alone. You have to let others go, so you can’t say anything.”

“If there is nothing wrong with the donkey, Er Hanzi will gather the medicine by himself.”

“Once the traveler encounters any trouble, Er Hanzi will appear immediately to help solve the problem.”

“Don’t say, Er Hanzi can really get a lot of thank-you fees, plus the medicine he picked, and the little days will go happily!”

“I didn’t pay attention to whether Erhanzi followed Li Xu when he went up the mountain, but I saw him in the village these days.”

“You can ask him.”

……

Everyone couldn’t help but shine after listening to the owner of the farmhouse.

This is a very important message.

If Er Hanzi followed Li Xu up the mountain from a distance that day, then no matter what happened to Li Xu, he should know everything well.

Immediately, Zhao Daqi rushed to Erhanzi’s home with a few team members.

“We are the police, and now I want to know some things about the loss of the travel friends in Donghushan.” Zhao Daqi said straightforwardly.

Erhanzi obviously didn’t have much preparation for the sudden arrival of so many policemen. After being surprised, he scratched his head and said, “Then you can ask.”

“We understand that you often follow your travel friend into the mountain from a distance. Then there was a travel friend named Li Xu who came into the mountain the day before yesterday. Have you followed him up the mountain?”

“No! I caught a cold a few days ago and felt uncomfortable, so I stayed at home and didn’t go out.”

Erhanzi’s answer made everyone frowned.

Didn’t follow into the mountain?

“Then, can anyone prove it to you?” Zhao Daqi asked in a solemn expression.

“I’m the only one in my family, and no one can testify to me!” Er Hanzi was anxious, “Besides, why do I need someone else to testify? I won’t break the law while lying in my own house!”

Er Hanzi certainly knew what was going on. The travel companions lost contact, and there has been a lot of trouble these days. There are many people in the village, including the police, forest rangers, and reporters.

The appearance of Er Hanzi inevitably made Zhao Daqi suspicious.

Is it possible, what is he hiding?

In Zhao Daqi’s mind, Er Hanzi was already assumed to be a suspect.

It’s okay if Er Hanzi didn’t lie, but if he panicked, then it’s very likely that something happened to Li Xu.

Suppose, when Li Xu went up the mountain, Er Hanzi followed him, but in the end Er Hanzi came back, but Li Xu did not come back…

If Li Xu had a natural accident, then even if Er Hanzi couldn’t save him, he should report a letter after returning instead of assuming that nothing happened.

Could it be that Er Hanzi acted on Li Xu and murdered Li Xu in the mountains?

As for the criminal motive, there seems to be nothing more than money.

Although this assumption is completely unfounded, it may not be unfounded.

So Zhao Daqi’s brows have become a ball.

It is still unclear whether Li Xu’s specific situation is really lost or murdered, so he cannot be filed as a criminal case for investigation. Naturally, Er Hanzi, who is suspected of a certain crime, cannot be brought back to the Criminal Investigation Brigade for further questioning.

After thinking about it, Zhao Daqi felt that there was no point in staying, so he hurried back to the Criminal Investigation Brigade with the team members.

“Hong Liang, if you are on a business trip, go to the city to find the travel companion who you met with Li Xu to climb up, and check all the participants in his contract negotiations that day to see if he really broke the appointment because of something.”

“Wang Yi, expand the monitoring range to see if you can find Li Xu’s whereabouts.”

“Liu He, you go to the village to squat guard, do a good job of coordinating with the police station and the forest protection team, and also showed me that Er Hanzi, who is not allowed to leave the village for the time being, you can find the captain to make an execution order! ”

Zhao Daqi arranged the work, but did not name Ye Feng.

Obviously, he felt that these trivial matters did not require Ye Feng to go out and let Ye Feng do it. It was a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

Ye Feng didn’t take the initiative to ask Ying what to do. He suddenly recalled what he heard from the couple at the table next door during dinner with Li Yanfei the other night.

Before Donghushan, there have been several cases of missing travel friends, and the final result is very regrettable, and the lost travel friends have not been found.

Ye Feng couldn’t help but wonder.

Is Donghushan really that dangerous?

Feeling that it is necessary to link up the previous incidents of loss of contact, Ye Feng went directly to the archives room to retrieve the previous case files.

When Ye Feng separated the stack of case files one by one, five case files were placed side by side on the table. Each case file meant the disappearance of a travel companion and the disappearance of a living life.

Opening the case file, Ye Feng quickly scanned the records above.

“Zhou Faqiong, male, 35 years old, entered the mountainous area of ​​Donghu Mountain early on August 6, 2013 and lost contact…”

“Li Changming, male, 32 years old, entered Donghu Mountain on July 14, 2015 and lost contact…”

“Li Feng, male, 40 years old, entered Donghu Mountain on September 12, 2017 and lost contact…”

“Wang Chenghui,…July 5, 2018…”

“Liu Hongzhang,…June 26, 2019…”

From August 2013 to June 2019, the time span of the five lost travel partners has reached 6 years.

If you count Li Xu, it would be eight years.

In eight years, Donghushan swallowed six fellow travellers, it was as if Donghushan could eat people!

Ye Feng frowned. He felt as if he had touched something, but it was vague and unclear.

All of a sudden, Ye Feng’s brain began to spin rapidly.
