At 10 noon, on the Xiaoyao Mountain cableway.

"Well, that's okay!" Simona was holding a set of fried pancakes in her hand and said while eating, "It's just like this in the 4a scenic spot, at least the air is pretty good!"

Seeing Simona eating very well, Zhao Yu was deeply impressed: "I'm more and more underestimating you. I have a big appetite and it tastes good when I eat it!"

"Don't laugh at me," Simona defended, "I haven't eaten yet at noon! What's wrong with eating a set of fried sesame cakes?"

"Not much..." Zhao Yu smiled slightly and turned his head out of the cableway window.

The scenery outside is pleasant, the air is fresh, and although the scenery is not as impressive, it has a unique charm.

However, while enjoying the scenery, Zhao Yu also habitually took a look at the system in his mind.

Although the live murder case has basically been completed, the double Gen mutation hexagram in my mind has not changed at all.

From this point of view, the "Gen" hexagram, which represents the case, is still fermenting, and I still have a long way to go and cannot relax.

Soon, the cableway arrived near the top of the mountain, and the person in charge of the scenic area and local agents were already waiting for them.

"This cableway was newly built in 2017," said Manager Liu, the head of the scenic spot, and introduced to Zhao Yu and the others, "Although no one is on duty at night, after get off work, they will turn off the power supply and lock the control room!

"Also, all entrances and exits and control rooms of the cableway station are monitored. It is impossible for anyone to move the cableway, we don't know!"

"Officer Zhao," a local criminal investigation captain named Zhou also said to Zhao Yu, "We have checked all surveillance videos in the entire Xiaoyao Mountain recently and found no suspicious situations!"

"Oh," Zhao Yu looked at the towering peaks and said, "Then let's go to the scene first! Let's talk while walking!"

So, under the leadership of Manager Liu, everyone walked along the mountain steps towards the top of the mountain.

On the way, Manager Liu told Zhao Yu about the overview of Xiaoyao Mountain Scenic Area, saying that this scenic area was mainly built around Taoist culture and natural scenery.

"All the buildings in the scenic area are newly built antique buildings," said Manager Liu. "However, although they are new, according to our research, there are indeed many secluded Taoists on Xiaoyao Mountain, as well as some valuable stone carvings from ancient times..."

Zhao Yu carefully observed the surrounding environment, and soon found that almost everything here was new, so he asked:

"As a tourist attraction, Xiaoyao Mountain was built in which year?"

"2007!" Manager Liu said the time without thinking, "The earliest one was planned and developed by the Nanyun Provincial Tourism Bureau, and later handed over to the Kangle Tourism Bureau for management. I came here in 2009, and I am a relatively early veteran!"

"Oh..." Zhao Yu asked, "So, are you Kangle natives?"

"Yes!" Manager Liu nodded, "I have been in the Recreation and Tourism Bureau, and later transferred to the scenic spot!"

"So," Zhao Yu asked, "Isn't a private enterprise in Xiaoyao Mountain Scenic Area?"

"Yes," Manager Liu replied, "We all get a dead salary by pure government investment! Haha, our Nanyun is a major tourist province, and developers develop attractions based on economic interests!

"There are not many selling points in Xiaoyao Mountain, which obviously does not meet their standards. Private investment will only lose money!

"Haha...to put it bluntly," said Manager Liu pointing to the top of the mountain, "This place is more like a park-like nature. More people come here are locals or surrounding tourists, and there are very few tourist groups!"

"Then..." Zhao Yu asked again, "Where was this place before the scenic spot was built?"

"Oh, it's just a barren mountain!" Manager Liu replied.

"Is that true?" Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked, "Is there any demolition issue involved?"

"No, no?" Manager Liu said uncertainly, "I don't think there is no. You can see it too. This place is so far from the city, and there are no villages or towns. Who lives here?"

"Yes," said a scenic spot staff member next to Manager Liu, "There are only two villages closest to Xiaoyao Mountain, Zhanghe and Liangzhai. Xiaoyao Mountain is a deep forest!

"Only the hunters nearby and all the mountain people who pick mushrooms and herbs will come here, otherwise... why did such Taoist priests choose to come here to live in seclusion in ancient times?"

"Oh..." Zhao Yu turned to the local agent and said, "Captain Zhou, please help me with something and check if anything special happened in the Xiaoyao Mountain area 15 years ago?

"For example... a criminal case, or an economic dispute, or something like that..."

"Oh, okay, okay!" Captain Zhou nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to do it now!"

"15 years..." Simona blinked, "15 years ago it was 2005. Are you talking about those two people...has something to do with Xiaoyao Mountain?

"We don't seem to know yet whether those two people have anything to do with Xiaoyao Mountain, right?"

"Yes," Zhao Yu said, "15 years ago, these two people were in Luo Wei and the other was in Baoshan. It seemed that they couldn't get along with Xiaoyao Mountain!

"But..." he said to the steep mountains, "If they had nothing to do with Xiaoyao Mountain, how could they be left here by the murderer?"

"Manager Liu," Simona asked curiously, "If it weren't for a cable car, then is there any other way to the crime scene at the top of the mountain?"

"Of course there is," said Manager Liu, "There is a main mountaineering road, from the main entrance to the top of the mountain! There is also an auxiliary road, which can also lead to the top of the mountain from the back mountain parking lot.

"In addition, there are also the plank roads, slides, etc. we built, which are basically connected...

"Of course," said Manager Liu, "Xiaoyao Mountain is not very famous, but it is not small in area! There are also many small paths that hunters often walk on in the past, which can lead to the top of the mountain..."

"We investigated the surveillance of the main road and the auxiliary road in the back mountain," Captain Zhou added, "No abnormalities were found! So, we suspect that the murderer should be someone who knows Xiaoyao Mountain more well!

"He should be walking on a certain mountaineering path!"

"Oh, you can avoid the camera at the hiking trail," Zhao Yu said, "This person is indeed familiar with the environment!"

"Don't forget, there is another key point," said Simona. "There are two more people! The murderer not only has to walk the path, but also has to drag two people. Is this..."

"People..." Captain Zhou analyzed, "Maybe it's dragging one at a time and then splitting it twice?"

"No!" Zhao Yu shook his cell phone and said, "The forensic doctor just sent me the latest news, through the autopsy of the male victim and the physical report of the female victim!

"They suspect that there may be more than 3 days between Zhang Yuyin, who has died and the rescued Qu Xiaohua!"

"Ah?" Simmona was surprised, "In other words, Zhang Yuyin had been lying out of that hole for several days, and then the murderer transported Qu Xiaohua to it again?

"This...why is this?"
Chapter completed!
