Qin Yuan followed the traces here. He observed that the scene here was relatively well protected. He squatted down and inspected the ropes. The material of the ropes was also very ordinary. It can be said that even their special combat ropes were Not really.
He turned to look at Li Erniu and asked, "By the way, how long did it take for those armed police to come here?"
"They had to wait and then search for almost more than an hour before they came over."
Qin Yuan nodded. He probably understood what was going on. Then he waved his hand and asked Wang Yanbing, who was already hanging on the rope, to come up first.
Wang Yanbing only climbed a distance of two or three meters, which was not very far. There was still a distance of more than ten meters below.
"Brother Qin, how about I climb down in one breath and see if I can find any clues. If it's our special operations team, they will definitely leave clues on the cliff."
Qin Yuan shook his head and told him to give up as soon as possible. Basically, this possibility would never happen. Then he said something that shocked everyone.
"Give up, they didn't come this way at all. There are probably only a few who came this way, local armed members, and the rest were evacuated from other places."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. When the armed police came up and started a careful search, how could they not find it? And this is somewhat unlikely from other places.
Qin Yuan's analysis is not unreasonable. According to the current situation of the rope, it cannot bear so many people. And judging from the wear and tear of the rope, according to the armed police at the time, there were about thirty people in this criminal base. Plus the number of their special operations team is at least 40 people.
However, the wear of this rope is very light, with only a slight wear and tear. In addition, ordinary ropes cannot withstand so many people wandering down, so the possibility of them going down from here is too low.
Although there were traces of trampling on the cliff, they were the first group of people to go down, probably four or five.
When everyone heard what he said, they immediately reacted. They had preconceived ideas before and really did not analyze this matter. Because there is a primitive jungle extending out from under the cliff, so it seems that everyone is focusing on that primitive jungle. , everyone is looking for it there.
The primitive jungle is too vast, and it is in a border area, so investigating them is really troublesome.
So far, there has been no progress at all. Qin Yuan's analysis is currently the most reliable. He feels that these people just wanted to deceive others, create the illusion that they were going down from here, and then put all the investigation directions Go this way.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan turned around and began to look at the surrounding terrain. To be honest, it was very complicated. Opposite the cliff was a hillside, and the hillside was undulating and connected to several mountains. It was very likely that they were hiding there. That location.
He pointed at that place. Now everything is just a guess. Go there and have a look first, but he is bringing himself in. If he wants to take so many people from here, the most likely possibility is to climb over. That mountain.
Because it takes a lot of time to climb over that mountain, and there are so many armed police members behind them, in order to get rid of these people, they must find a way to attract their attention first, and they can definitely pass in the remaining time.
In this way, Qin Yuan and the others came to the opposite hillside. As expected, there was nothing unusual in front of them, but they could see some tiny footprints along the hillside at night. Because it was raining that day, the soil was relatively soft. , so the footprints still exist.
Li Erniu was completely stunned when he saw this. He gave Qin Yuan a thumbs up in admiration. I have to say that Qin Yuan's reaction and attitude of analyzing things are really admirable.
And it can be ruled out that these footprints were left by their armed police members. At present, those armed police members mainly wear combat boots. The footprints are very shallow and basically leave no traces. However, the footprints now are very deep, and they are basically those Left behind by criminals.
As we walked down the hillside, we could see some deliberate traces and some broken branches.
At this time, He Chenguang, who was walking at the front, even exclaimed. He saw a watch. The name engraved on the back of the watch belonged to one of their special forces members.
Everyone was very excited about this discovery. Qin Yuan also quickly informed Long Xiaoyun and the others, asking them to stop wasting time in the primitive jungle and come over quickly to invest in the investigation here. Maybe they could find clues.
Soon Long Xiaoyun and Gao Shiwei arrived. Gao Shiwei was also very worried about the sudden disappearance of the team. Unexpectedly, everyone was fooled and was diverted from the direction.
Soon everyone, led by Qin Yuan, arrived at the top of the mountain. Here they could see large traces, indicating that their special forces team members may have struggled at this place, because here you can see the situation below, and it is possible. They were all hiding here at that time.
Fortunately, apart from signs of struggle, no blood was seen, which meant that the special forces members were still safe, but they were under some kind of coercion.
Finally, we followed these walking traces and came to a tributary below. Many tiny footprints can be seen on the shore. It seems that they uploaded here and then escaped directly through the rivers on both sides of the cliff. There are no traces at this location. People discover the situation.
The armed policeman who was investigating along with him was also very regretful. He did not expect that these criminals would escape right under his nose.
He slapped himself hard, "I'm sorry, it was indeed my mistake this time. I wasted so much of everyone's time, and I haven't found the key to the problem yet."
Qin Yuan shook his head. This is not his fault. The main reason is that these criminals are too cunning. Now that this tributary extends out, there are too many places to go. It is too complicated to investigate like this.
In fact, it was mainly a matter of time. If Qin Yuan could come here earlier, he might be able to track it if he found out immediately. However, the climate in this place is also special. It rained all day and night. So far, any smell has been gone. Completely washed away.
Everyone could only try their luck and start searching on the tributary in a small boat. It was still a main tributary at the beginning. There were no clues on this kind of river.
But at least it is clear that they will not disembark here, because there are cliffs on both sides and there is no place to stay.
If they go further, there will be many branches extending. The water below is also very extreme. It is unknown where they can go. Gao Shiwei also took the risk and directly divided into groups of two and sent out twenty or thirty people. A small boat.
Qin Yuan had no choice but to randomly choose a route and follow it, but there were too many places to stop along the way.
The place where the footprints were found before was blocked by trees, so the footprints existed until near the subsequent detention areas. They were all exposed and almost washed away by the rain.
Reading with rice balls
I kept searching like this until night, but there was no whereabouts. The storm was still coming. In this case, it was too dangerous for the boat to walk in the tributary.
Gao Shiwei had no choice but to issue an order to retreat. He could not let everyone go out to take risks, and this retreat was also suggested by Qin Yuan. At present, the current here was too fast.
Qin Yuan could not control his strength, let alone the other teams. For the sake of everyone's safety, everyone had no choice but to return and arrived at the designated location.
But when everyone came ashore, they discovered that a bunch of people were missing. These people were brought out by the captain of the armed police. He took four people out with him.
Gao Shiwei felt a little strange. He used the walkie-talkie to report again, but there was still no response from the other party. He had an unpleasant thought in his heart. Could it be that the water flow was too fast and they encountered some emergency?
Qin Yuan didn't think much and jumped on the boat. The others originally wanted to follow him. He turned his head and gave stern orders to everyone not to act rashly. He knew what the current flow meant. Others did not have the ability to come up. It will only add to the chaos in the future.
Qin Yuan had just jumped onto the boat, but the water upstream had already washed down. He could only try to control his body. Now it was too late to ask the people above to let go of the rope.
Everyone could only watch him slowly disappear in the darkness. Gao Shiwei was also very nervous. Although Qin Yuan was relatively safe when doing things, the current situation was really dangerous and he didn't want anyone to get involved. matter.
Qin Yuan held the walkie-talkie in his hand and kept calling the captain of the armed police, but there was no response after a long time. Soon he crossed the main stream, mainly because he didn't know which branch they were branching out from.
At this time, the walkie-talkie finally responded, but the signal on the other side was not very stable, and there was a rustling sound.
"Captain Qin! Come on, our captain is in very bad condition. Our boat was overturned by the current just now, but we can't get on. We are currently holding the boat and stuck in the tributary here, but I probably won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”
"Which direction did you come out from just now?"
"East...south...left side..."
At this point, the contact was completely cut off. Qin Yuan kept calling from behind, but there was no response. He did not hesitate and quickly inserted into the left side of the shunt.
He began to analyze his memories carefully. When he set out before, he probably glanced from behind and saw that Long Xiaoyun also left and Li Er and the others were left.
He recalled each team carefully and instantly understood which route they were taking. His memory was really amazing. Among so many different routes, he could remember them so clearly.
At this moment, on the other side, the armed police captain's situation was no longer very good. They were holding the boat and struggling to support it. Now the boat was stuck in a small tributary and a stone wall.
It was basically impossible for them to climb up. The water kept hitting them on the face. The worst thing that happened was that the armed police captain's hand seemed to be injured.
It can be seen that the wounds on the shoulders have been soaked in the cold water, and the condition of several other people is not very good. Everyone is holding on to the boat tightly, not daring to let go, otherwise they will be washed down if they are not careful.
The captain of the armed police blamed himself even more at this moment. Originally, he had brought all these people out, but unexpectedly, an accident happened midway because the water flow was too strong.
"Brothers, I'm really sorry for causing such a situation. I didn't expect that the boat would roll over."
"Captain, what do you mean by this? How can we blame you? Besides, if we just wait, rescue will be here soon."
The armed police captain gave a helpless smile. He knew what it meant. First of all, the walkie-talkie had completely lost its function because it had been soaked in water. Just now, they didn't even have time to tell their location. With so many people, how could they wait for rescue.
In addition, the hull is now completely unstable. The weight of the four of them is stuck on the small boat, and the stone walls next to it are somewhat loose.
The main thing was that the water kept lapping at the surface of the boat. According to this situation, they really couldn't hold on anymore, and he was also making a decision in his heart.
If it doesn't work anymore, he will be the first to let go, which can relieve the pressure on everyone and leave them with hope of survival.
He turned his head and looked at the team members next to him as if to explain the aftermath, "Xiao Zhang, what I say now, you must remember, no matter what happens while waiting for the goods, you will hold on to the ship tightly. You can't Let your body shape deviate in any way, do you understand?”
"Captain, what do you mean by this!"
"Silly boy, listen to me, this boat can no longer hold up. If I can't hold on any longer, then I will choose to let go. Don't worry, I'm very good at water. If I wash off, I'll still be alive. I hope you guys can survive." Just stay here and wait for rescue.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately raised objections. With such a fast current, no matter how good the water quality is, even national athletes would not be able to survive in such conditions.
But the captain of the armed police knew that if he didn't make this sacrifice, everyone would be doomed. Looking at the stones next to him gradually falling in, he knew it was time to prepare.
Xiao Zhang next to him held him tightly and refused to let go. Just when the two were in a stalemate, suddenly a light came from a distance. It was the light on Qin Yuan's boat.
"Captain, look, that seems to be the person coming to save us!"
Everyone instantly saw hope and started shouting over there. Qin Yuan also saw their situation. Now he had to find a way to get over. The main reason was that the current was very fast. He had to find a way to control the hull, otherwise if he didn't pay attention, it would be very difficult. Might knock them off.
