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.
“Don’t worry, Lynch, Mr. Klin has rich experience in handling matters. In the entire Rand Kingdom, his occult level is at least among the top three. Sometimes the capital headquarters will send people to him. Please tell me, as long as he is willing to take over, it is a guarantee that the task has been completed. We are all used to it, just wait patiently. ”
"I hope there won't be any problems."
Lynch sighed. He had a guess. The previous photos may contain what happened to Maya, which was also very important. But when something really went wrong, Donnie It was actually those photos that died, and this 'big question' was the core of the entire Nolin-Rhine Railway case.
Now that part of the data has been burned, the only records left are probably 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."
"It actually doesn't mean much." Officer Natalie said solemnly, "She is deeply related to the mysterious incident, and her life has entered a countdown. It makes no difference whether she is saved or not, but since she is the key figure in the case you want to investigate, you might as well try to find her. "
"It's nothing. I have a friend who met her two days ago. He also said something similar, and then he continued to work hard with me while being tough, and now... 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.
Of course there are countless explanations that can be found intellectually, but in fact there is only one reason.
We have sympathy for each other.
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 wants 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 do it in a while. Go find her.”
"Huh?" Lynch looked at the photo. There was only a small wooden house in the background. He checked carefully. There was no house number, and there were no reference objects around. He had no clue. "Do you know where this place is?"
You can also say that you don’t know. The police officer showed a silent smile, pulled Lynch and ran outside. He hesitated for a moment on the branch road to the stables, did not call the police carriage, and rented it directly in front of the train station. Got a public 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 a forest there. The hut, you can go in to escape the heat during the hottest time in August. 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, if he knows 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, the fields were separated one by one. 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 those are gone Farmers on the land have a hard time, they can only work in factories to 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.”
Lin Qi laughed. Laugh, no comment. This itself is a change brought about by the tide of the times. It does not matter whether it is right or wrong, it is just happening. According to the experience of the earth, it has just begun. 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 staggered forward on the dirt road in the countryside. From time to time, cattle and sheep walked leisurely by the roadside, and a few chickens flapping their wings were disturbed by the wheels. Flying over the road and disappearing 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, and the Parliament Throughout the country, lords have also changed their names to governors. Although they only changed their names to better-sounding names and the essence has not changed, superficial changes are still necessary. Forest real estate can also be sold to civilians, although it will only be used for a few decades. Right, but it’s really good to escape the heat.”
Lynch suddenly realized the key issue and looked at the police officer with a horrified look: “You know so well... you can’t buy it too. One of the rich people in the cabin in the woods, 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 decadent life.
Only determined 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 quite vast hilly area, with no end in sight of the 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. It is suicide and not a vacation. Therefore, the target is likely to be on the outside of the hilly area, and the mountain peaks are relatively far away. , coupled with the undulating hills, there are not many directions in which you can actually photograph distant mountains.
The two worked together, using Lynch's clue analysis ideas from another world and combined with Officer Natalie's experience in this world, they 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.
This place is too far, 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 carriage.
And with the weight of a box-type 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 all the way 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.
