The red moon returns

Chapter 62 Secret Base
  After leaving the archives, Lynch kept looking back.

Just now he watched Mr. Kling very professionally wrap the photos in crisp paper and put them in a special glass box.

The transparent pastry paper is as thin as a cicada, and becomes very crispy once it is set. Any unpacking will damage the pastry paper, thus exposing the unpacking behavior. The transparent glass box allows you to observe the internal conditions at any time, according to Klin. According to the rules set by the husband himself, a dedicated person will check in pairs every two hours to minimize the risk.

They have a set of fixed procedures for handling mysterious documents, and they look very professional at first glance, but Lynch is still a little worried, after all, what Klin said just now is too dangerous.

"You don't have to worry, Lynch. Mr. Klin has rich experience in handling matters. In the entire Rand Kingdom, his level of mysticism is at least among the top three. Sometimes the capital headquarters will send people to ask him for advice. As long as he is willing to take over, , which is a guarantee that the task has been completed. We are all used to it, just wait patiently."

"I hope nothing goes wrong."

Lynch sighed. He had a guess. The photos in the front may contain what happened to Maya, which was also very important. But the real problem that caused Donnie's death was actually the photos in the back, and this 'big problem' ', is the core of the entire Nolin-Rhine Railway case.

Now that part of the data has been burned, the only records left are likely to be these blurry photos of Maya. Now we can only look forward to Klin's interpretation results to find out the problems inside.

"In the meantime, we still have to find Maya."

"Actually, it doesn't mean much." Officer Natalie said solemnly, "She is deeply involved in the mysterious incident. Her life has entered a countdown. It makes no difference whether she can be saved or not. But since she is a key figure in the case you want to investigate, then Let's go look for it, why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing. I have a friend. She said similar things two days ago, and then she kept talking harshly while working with me until now. And... oh, my shoes are only 3 pounds."

Although Lynch was jumping in the club's underground passage with his feet in his arms, he actually wanted to find Maya.

Intellectually, of course, there are countless explanations, but in reality there is only one reason.

Sympathy.

They were all ordinary people who were involved in mysterious events. Lynch could imagine how desperate Maya would be now. That night a few days ago, if a woman who spoke very harshly hadn't rushed over to give her a hand, I'm afraid she would have lost her life. There is no way he can survive now.

So he also wanted to help other people in the same situation, that's all.

"If you want to do it, just do it." The police officer bit her lip, with appreciation hidden in her eyes, and lightly punched Lynch on the arm, "Now that we have found out what the secret base is, we will find her in a moment. "

"Huh?" Lynch looked at the photo. There was only a small wooden house in the background. He checked carefully and found that there was no house number and no reference objects around. He had no clue. "Do you know where this place is?"

You might also say you don’t know. The police officer showed a silent smile, pulled Lynch and ran outside. She hesitated for a moment on the fork in the road to the stables. Instead of calling the police carriage, she rented a public car directly in front of the train station. carriage.

Target, Qingmai District.

As soon as she climbed onto the carriage, the police officer made a gesture to silence herself. Lin Qi understood and immediately turned on the ability to mute.

"I really didn't expect you didn't know this place. This is the Anna Hills on the outskirts of Qingmai District. It is a forest with a very large area. Many middle-class people from the Rhine like to buy a small piece of land to build forest cabins there, and wait until the end of August. When it’s hot, you go in to escape the heat. It’s very distinctive and you can recognize it at a glance, don’t you know?”

You ask a person whose total cash assets are only six pounds, does he know this kind of thing? Lynch rolled his eyes and turned his gaze out the window to avoid looking at this hateful guy.

The carriage is heading towards Qingmai District, which is the largest urban area in Rhine City. It is located in the eastern part of Rhine City. This urban area occupies half of the area of ​​Rhine City. It is also connected to the outer suburbs of Rhine City. As soon as you enter Qingmai District, you will see everything. As far as the eye could see, there was endless farmland, green wheat growing all over the field ridges, and several huge waterwheels creaking and squeaking half-deadly on the edge of the fields.

"In the past, fields were divided into pieces. Since the land purchase order was issued, many fields have been concentrated and planted uniformly. It is said that steam pumps will be introduced for irrigation in the future, and the output will continue to increase. But farmers who have lost their land are having a hard time. I have no choice but to go into the factory and work hard. It seems that many people in your King District have moved there like this. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

Lynch smiled and declined to comment. This itself is a change brought about by the tide of the times. It does not matter whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, it is just happening. According to the experience of the earth, it has just begun now. Similar behaviors will become more and more common in the future, until most of the land is concentrated in the hands of a few people. , most people were driven to work in factories. But that will be a long time later. Unless he successfully completes the road to immortality, he will have little chance to witness it, so he should take care of the present first.

After more than an hour's drive, there were fewer and fewer tall buildings outside the car, and the view became wider and wider. Even buildings rarely appeared anymore, leaving only vast fields and farmhouses dotted in the fields.

Smelling the aroma of soil and plants outside the window, the carriage lurched forward on the dirt road in the countryside. From time to time, cattle and sheep walked leisurely by the roadside, and a few chickens that were disturbed by the wheels flapped their wings and flew across the road and into the fields.

In the thick rural atmosphere, a dark shadow appeared at the end of the field of vision. It was a large undulating hilly area covered with trees, and the woods extended into the mountains in the distance.

"Anna Hills has been a forest area for thousands of years. It used to be the private property of the Venn family. Civilians were not allowed to trespass, otherwise they would be whipped for poaching. But now times have changed. Parliaments have spread all over the country, and the lords have also changed their names. He has become the governor. Although he just changed his name to a nicer name and the essence remains the same, superficial changes are still necessary. The real estate in the forest can also be sold to civilians. Although it only has a few decades of use rights, it is used to escape the summer heat. It’s really good.”

Lin Qi suddenly realized the key issue and looked at the police officer with horrifying eyes: "You know so clearly... You are not one of the rich people who bought the cabin in the forest, are you? I misjudged you. , Natalie, Angel.”

"Ha...it's really quiet there, especially now that it's not the summer season yet. Apart from the local farmers, it's hard to see anyone else outside the woods. As for the woods, it's even purer. You may not see a single person for a month. .”

These hateful rich people, this corrupt and degenerate life.

Only strong-willed time travelers like us will not be corrupted by corruption. I despise you.

Lynch curled his lips and decided not to be angry with these degenerates anymore. He took out the photos of the secret base again.

This is indeed a fairly vast hilly area with endless trees. There may be dozens or even hundreds of similar forest huts hidden inside.

It's actually not easy to find.

But there is still a reference in the photo, and that is the mountain peak in the distance.

This forest is quite vast. A forest cabin for wealthy people cannot be built deep in the forest. That would be suicide, not a vacation. Therefore, the target is likely to be on the outside of the hilly area, and the mountain peaks are far away, and the hills are undulating. There are not many directions where you can actually take pictures of distant mountains.

The two of them worked together, using Lynch's clues from another world to analyze ideas, combined with Officer Natalie's experience in this world, and quickly identified several possible locations.

When he finally arrived at one of them, Lin Qi realized that it was not like the dense virgin forest he imagined. The trees here were relatively sparse, and there were roads that could be used by carriages. If you think about it carefully, this is reasonable. Otherwise, those idle people must have brought a lot of daily necessities with them when they come to escape the summer heat. If the carriage cannot get in and has to be carried on people's backs, it will not be a summer escape but a coolie.

And this is what Officer Natalie relies on to confirm that she can find the reporter Ms. Maya.

It's too far here, and Maya has a distinct smell, so walking by herself will attract more attention. To be on the safe side, she will most likely choose a carriage, and it will also be a box-type carriage.

With the weight of a box carriage, driving on the road in the forest will inevitably leave obvious wheel marks, which will not be easily covered after only a few days. In May, there will be no interference from other vehicles, so it is easy to find traces of entering the forest.

Sure enough, when the fourth possible location was found, an obvious rut ​​appeared on the ground, extending deep into the forest.

To be on the safe side, the two of them searched for several other targets, and after confirming that only there were wheel marks here, they asked the driver to wait in a nearby village to avoid being followed using the same method.

After sending the driver away, the two looked at each other and quietly followed the ruts into the forest.
