Everyone was a little surprised when they saw these two rows of wheel marks. Wen Qingshan immediately squatted down and examined them carefully without saying a word. After a while, he raised his head and said, "These two rows of wheel marks should be this one."
It was left over two days ago, and judging from the width of the wheel marks, it should be a modified mountain off-road vehicle."
Basang immediately turned around and asked Tashi Dorje: "Who drives an off-road vehicle in this area?"
Tashi Duoji shook his head: "No, the villagers here basically travel by horseback. What's more, it's more than ten kilometers away from the nearest road, and the road is not easy to walk. Who would drive here if they have nothing to do.
"
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "Maybe they are self-driving travelers. Some people like challenges and are not willing to walk along the road."
Jianjian stared at the two lines of wheel marks for a while, then raised his head and said, "Do you think the father and daughter followed someone else?"
Wen Qingshan nodded and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out! The two of them must have encountered wild beasts such as snow leopards here, but maybe at the critical moment, someone happened to drive by here and drove away the wild beasts, saving them both.
.However, because there is no communication tool in Daga Doma Village, they were unable to contact us and tell us the truth, so we thought they were missing."
After listening to Wen Qingshan's analysis, I thought about it carefully. In fact, this is also the most likely explanation. Their horse died in this lake. If it is said that they were also harmed, they were not found.
It would be too mysterious to say that their bodies were taken away by a snow monster, not to mention that no trace of the snow monster was found around the lake. Thinking of this, I almost despaired.
A glimmer of hope was rekindled.
Wen Qingshan continued: "If someone really rescues them, there is a strong chance that they will take them to Nagqu County. We must get in touch with the Nagqu police as soon as possible. Maybe we can find out their whereabouts."
As soon as he heard that he needed to contact the Nagqu police, Basang immediately said: "I have a guy at the Nagqu County Public Security Bureau. I can contact him and ask him to help us keep an eye on it."
"That's great! Without further ado, let's rush back to the village now. There is a satellite phone in Brother Hai's car. Maybe we can contact the Nagqu County Public Security Bureau."
Hearing that we were rushing back to the village, Tashi Duoji immediately blew a loud whistle. The horses that were grazing on the grass not far away got the command and ran towards us. A group of us were about to get on the horses, but I
Suddenly I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a line of text in the mud next to the two rows of wheel seals!
Out of curiosity, I stepped forward and looked down, and I saw that it was actually a line of text! However, the words were very small and rather sloppy. They must have been written in a hurry. In addition, this line of text had been written by someone's feet.
I've stepped on it, so I can't see clearly anymore.
I hurriedly called Wen Qingshan and others over. We all looked at the line of characters for a long time before finally identifying two of them: cult!
When he saw these two words, Wen Qingshan's face changed slightly, he suddenly raised his head, looked at me, and said in a daze: "Could it be someone from the cult who kidnapped Professor Dong and his daughter?"
"What!?" Bianjian and I were both shocked, while Basang and Tashi Duoji looked confused.
"Why do people from the cult appear here!?"
Wen Qingshan pondered for a while, then took a deep breath and said slowly: "It seems that we are probably being followed by someone from a cult."
"Following? This is impossible. We didn't see any car following us all the way!" Jianjian was very puzzled.
Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "Maybe they installed a tracking device on our car. We will find out when we go back and check the vehicle later."
"What are they doing here with us?" Jianjian asked in confusion.
"It's most likely that it's for the human skin map in our hands! The people in the cult must have found Zheng Wei, so they know that the human skin map has fallen into our hands. If they rob it openly, they are not completely sure, so they dare not
He acted rashly. So he kept following us, waiting for the opportunity to strike again."
Listening to Wen Qingshan say this, my head started to buzz. If it was really done by someone from a cult, then Professor Dong and Dong Xiaodan would be in danger. And in my impression, people who fell into the hands of a cult
, either his body was poisoned, or he was turned into a walking corpse.
Thinking that they might end up in such a miserable end, I was like an ant on a hot pot. I was so anxious. When Wen Qingshan saw this, he hurriedly comforted me and said, "Don't be anxious. If it was really someone from a cult who did it, he
The two of us may not be in danger for the time being."
"How do you say this?" I asked hurriedly.
Wen Qingshan said: "People in cults are very purposeful in doing things, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. But on the other hand, everything they do is to achieve a certain purpose. The reason why they
They kidnapped Professor Dong and his daughter for nothing more than this human skin map. They will not rashly kill them before getting the human skin map."
"You mean, they plan to exchange Professor Dong and Xiao Dan for this map!?"
Wen Qingshan nodded and continued: "So, as long as the human skin map is still in our hands, the people in the cult will not hurt them."
I thought it right. If the cult members really wanted to attack Professor Dong and his daughter, there would be no need to kidnap them.
After learning that someone might have maliciously kidnapped Professor Dong and his daughter, Tashi Dorje and Basang seemed very angry, especially Tashi Dorje, because the cult members not only kidnapped people, but also killed two horses.
The horses were killed and thrown into the lake. In the plateau area, horses are a very precious resource. Our trip to the Gesang Valley yesterday has caused the village to lose several horses. Although Wen Qingshan expressed his willingness to compensate at double the price,
But Tashi Dorje could not help but feel distressed. Now he did not expect that someone would deliberately kill the horse. Naturally, he was very angry, and he could not understand the behavior of people in the cult.
Wen Qingshan believes that the reasons why people in the cult do this are, firstly, to create the illusion that Professor Dong and his daughter were attacked by wild beasts to confuse our sight, and secondly, because the two horses will return to the village on their own.
Moreover, this lake is not far from Daga Doma Village. Once the villagers discover the situation and come out to look for the person, the cult members may not be able to escape in time. Therefore, they kill the horse and throw it into the lake. In this way,
By the time we found out, they were already gone.
Judging from the current situation, the second possibility seems to be more likely. The question now is, where will the people in the cult take Professor Dong and his daughter?
Wen Qingshan took out a map of Tibet from his backpack and analyzed it. People in the cult could only drive on the highway, but if they walked along the highway, there were only two directions to go. To the west was Nagqu County.
, and to the east is Suo County. It happened that Basang had acquaintances in the public security bureaus of Naqu County and Suo County, so Wen Qingshan asked him to contact the public security departments of the two places to closely trace the cult members.
The few of us were discussing countermeasures when suddenly there was a sound of a walkie-talkie calling. At first I thought it was the sound coming from my walkie-talkie, so I quickly took out the walkie-talkie, but it was not, and it was not Wen Qingshan's.
Walkie talkie.
Everyone listened carefully, and the sound seemed to come from the grass on the side. Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and soon found a walkie-talkie in the thick grass.
When I saw this walkie-talkie, I couldn't help but be slightly startled, because this walkie-talkie was not the one used by Professor Dong, so it was most likely that it was left behind by someone from the cult who kidnapped Professor Dong and his daughter!
Wen Qingshan hurried forward, bent down to pick up the walkie-talkie, and asked coldly at the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Who are you?"
"Hey! It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you are in my hands."
When they heard the other party say these words, everyone was surprised. The other party actually knew that he was talking to us. That means that this walkie-talkie was deliberately left by someone in the cult. Moreover, these guys
It is very likely that they are hiding nearby and watching our every move, otherwise they would not know that we picked up this walkie-talkie.
Everyone immediately looked around, but when they looked around, there was not a single person around. However, there were several rising peaks five or six miles away from here. It cannot be ruled out that the cult members were standing on them.
We use high-powered telescopes on the mountain to observe our every move. But from such a long distance, we can't see what's going on on the mountain.
Wen Qingshan calmed down and said as calmly as possible: "We have no grievances, why did you kidnap my friend? If it was for money, just leave..."
Before he could finish his words, the other party interrupted him and said straight to the point: "Don't pretend to be stupid. You know we are not here for money, but for the human skin map in your hand. You put it
Hand it over and I will release you!"
It really made us guess, these guys are really after the human skin map!
I was busy shouting: "You have to let us hear their voices first!" I just want to make sure that Professor Dong and Dong Xiaodan are still alive.
After a while, Dong Xiaodan screamed "Ah" from the walkie-talkie. When I heard it, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie from Wen Qingshan's hand and shouted: "You bastards!
If you dare to hurt Xiaodan, when I find you, I will tear you into pieces!"
The other party was not annoyed at all by my yelling and scolding. Instead, he smiled on the other end of the intercom and said: "Hey, it seems that this girl is very important to you, so you have to get the human skin map as soon as possible, otherwise the girl may not be able to wait."
It’s been so long.”
"What the hell do you want!?"
The other party said calmly: "Don't worry, we haven't done anything to her yet, but if we don't get the human skin map on time, it will be hard to say. You should have seen our methods!"
