“Isn’t it the water tower?” Zhao Yu opened the picture on his phone and re-opened the screenshot of the water tower from the video of Wei Qiqi’s murder. He then looked at it carefully.

“That’s true …” Cui Lizhu came over and said,”I heard from my dad that the purpose of building a water tower in the past was because tap water was not yet universal, and the residents needed to solve the water shortage problem, so they had to build a water tower.”

“It’s used to extract underground water and store water …”

“So,” Zhao Yu nodded,”water towers are generally built in places where there are human settlements, in places with a dense population distribution and difficult to get water!”

“But the area around the crescent Bay is filled with water,” cui Lizhu said.”There is no need to build a water tower at all! People only needed to go into the river to easily get water. Moreover, this place was not a densely populated place!

“Yun Duo’ er wouldn’t have chosen a densely populated place to attack, so we must have made a mistake …”

“The building in the video is too blurry. It flashed past in the video, and it was far away in the dark of the night …” Zhao Yu pointed to the picture on his mobile phone and said,”if it’s not a water tower, then … What else could it be?”

“Do you still need to ask?” Cui Lizhu said without hesitation,”if it’s not a water tower, then it can only be a Lighthouse! Although Xijiang province isn’t near the sea, it’s the place with the most rivers and lakes in our country. The shipping industry is well-developed, and the thing in the video is very likely a Lighthouse to guide the ships!”

“That means …” Zhao Yu said,”there’s a river where Yun Duo’ er killed Wei Qiqi? Or … By the lake?”

“To be honest,” cui Lizhu frowned and said,”if we can’t recognize which Lighthouse this is, then our actual search area has not been reduced by much!

“Take bei Cang for example. There are hundreds of lakes of different sizes. How do we find them?”

“There should be … A chance, right?” Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then said,”regardless of whether it’s a River or a Lake, the lighthouse must be built very close to the dock! We just need to search the waterway Pier, and we’ll be able to find it, right?”

“That’s true …” Cui Lizhu nodded.”The number of lighthouses should be much less than the water tower, right? We’ll check them one by one, do you think we won’t find anything?”

“Right!”

Zhao Yu looked at the invisible tracking device in his brain. It had already expired.

After all, the number of this device was limited. If he could narrow the search area and then use the tracker to find it, he might be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Hence, Zhao Yu immediately told cui Lizhu to return home and continue the search the next day.

However, something depressing happened. The battery of the electric car had run out. The two of them had to contact the local police. When they returned to the Xijiang Provincial Office from the wilderness, it was almost dawn.

……

The next morning, Zhao Yu and cui Lizhu had a cup of hot tea, and felt a little warmer.

Last night, the two of them were tired and cold, and they had suffered a lot.

“Something’s not right!” At this time, Miao Ying, who had also not slept all night, suddenly came in front of the two of them and handed a document to Zhao Yu. She said,”last night, we investigated all the information on the lighthouses in Beicang city, but …

“Look …” Miao Ying pointed to the report on the last page of the information and said,”whether it’s the height or the shape, there is a big difference from the building in the video!”

“Oh?”

Zhao Yu looked at the report carefully. Indeed, the lighthouses in Xijiang province were generally more than 10 meters tall, much higher than the buildings in the video.

Moreover, lighthouses were mostly cylindrical in shape, which was obviously different from the buildings in the video.

“The local experts told us,” Miao Ying said,”although Xijiang province is densely covered with water, the boatmen have passed down the lighthouses for generations, so there are not many places where lighthouses are used.

“It’s only used in several open sea routes near Panyang Lake, so …” Miao Ying said solemnly,”the possibility of it being a Lighthouse is very small!

“Judging from its appearance, the probability of it being a water tower is still very high!”

“In that case …” Zhao Yu frowned and guessed,”could there be such a situation? That thing was actually a water tower. The water tower was originally built in a human settlement.

“However, due to the geographical environment, the human settlement disappeared, and the water tower was abandoned?

“Look …” Zhao Yu pointed to the picture and said,”although I can only see a silhouette, it seems that the thing is very old. Maybe the water tower was built before the liberation?”

“Hmm …” Miao Ying thought for a moment, then said,”in that case, we’ll have to find some historical experts to investigate in detail!” Take a look around Beicang and see if there are any abandoned human settlements or large factories …”

“Eh? Wait a minute!” Suddenly, cui Lizhu stood up, grabbed Zhao Yu’s phone, and pointed at the photo.”This … This … Could it be …”

“Eh? Which one? What?” Zhao Yu squinted his eyes.

“Didn’t you just say that she looked like a pre-liberation woman?” Cui Lizhu said,”do you guys think that this thing is a cannon?”

“What!?”Zhao Yu and Miao Ying were shocked at the same time. Zhao Yu blurted out,”a cannon?”

“Yes, Xijiang province is an old revolutionary area …” Cui Lizhu said.”It’s not strange to have a turret, right? Do you guys know? When I was in Nanjiang, my dad was being hunted down and he even brought me to live in a turret!”

“This …” Zhao Yu looked at Miao Ying and was a little surprised.

“I think that the possibility is very high!” Cui Lizhu said,”take a closer look at the shape of this thing. Doesn’t it look like a large grenade? Aren’t all the cannons like this?”

“It’s really …” Zhao Yu said.”Because it looked so similar to a water tower, at first glance, we all thought it was a water tower! However, in reality …”

“Oh … If it’s a guardhouse …” Miao Ying said.”That’ll be easy to find! Both the government and the public have their own specialized research organizations. I’ll contact them now …”

Then, Miao Ying left the office in a hurry.

“Wow …” Cui Lizhu said excitedly.”Boss, if I’m right, does that mean I’ve made another great contribution?”

“Isn’t it too early to be happy? The eight words haven’t even taken shape yet!” Zhao Yu sighed.”To find the turret, we have to find Wei Qiqi’s body. If we can find Wei Qiqi’s body and Yun Duo’ er’s evidence, our future will still be bleak!”

“Mm …” Cui Lizhu clasped her hands together and prayed,”Wei Qiqi, you have to work hard!” We promise you that we will do our best to find you, but we also hope that you can bring us a surprise! Let’s bring the murderer who killed you to justice and avenge you …”

Looking at cui Lizhu’s sincere face, Zhao Yu wanted to say something more, but he suddenly received a new message on his phone.

This time, the message was from Ran Tao in the capital.

Ran Tao told Zhao Yu that he had followed Zhao Yu’s instructions and went to Tsinghua University’s high school with Wu Xiumin to ask li xinghong, the son of the Li Feifan couple.

Zhao Yu felt that, although li xinghong was still a fifteen-year-old middle school student, they could not ignore this crucial person.

So, he asked Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin to go to li xinghong’s school for a detailed inquiry.

However, the result of this inquiry was not ideal.

Li xinghong had been attending a boarding school since he was in the fourth grade of elementary school. His holidays were often occupied by many training classes. He would only go home on New Year’s or special days, so he did not spend much time with li Feifan and his wife.

The child had already confirmed that his parents ‘relationship had broken down, and both parties were just maintaining the family through the process, letting outsiders think that they were living in harmony.

As for the rest of the situation, the child had no idea.

Li xinghong expressed that he had never seen his mother use any video recorder, nor did he notice anything special about Yun Duo’ er.

Therefore, li xinghong did not provide any important clues for the case …

Zhao Yu had just finished reading the message that Ran Tao sent him, when Miao Ying called.

“Hey, team leader,” Miao Ying said excitedly,”come to the technical room now!” The building in the video might really be a turret. Maybe … We already know where Wei Qiqi is buried …”
