Teno’ clock in the morning, the exploration team’s base.
Li Jing, who had rushed over after hearing the news, was listening to Zhao Yu and the others “case analysis.
“The hot air balloon can be disassembled!” Bian Dong stood in front of a laptop and pointed to the information on the screen.”If the robbers put the hot air balloon parts in the back of the pickup truck and covered it with other goods, we wouldn’t be able to see it from the video!
“This also explains why we haven’t found any suspicious vehicles for such a long time!
“Our eyes are all focused on the large vehicles that can carry 12 people …”
“Indeed,” a local police officer who could speak Chinese said.”Twenty years back, hot air balloons were the iconic product of our area. Almost everyone of the older generation had sat in hot air balloons!”
“Hmm …” Li Jing nodded thoughtfully. She then pointed to the map next to her and asked,”I want to ask, can hot air balloons be used at night?” What’s the maximum distance it can travel?”
“Of course, it’s best to fly during the day! However … As long as you are familiar with the environment, flying at night is not a problem!” The local police officer replied,”not to mention, the technology is more advanced now. With simple turning and infrared equipment, an experienced expert will definitely have no problem!
“As for the flight distance, that’s hard to say! Hot air balloons are mainly affected by the weather. If there is enough fuel and the weather is good, you can fly as far as you want!”
“I think … It shouldn’t be too far, right?” Bian Dong raised an objection.”When I was traveling in Egypt, it only took an hour to fly!
“Also, since hot air balloons are no longer popular, it would be very eye-catching if people saw a hot air balloon flying in the sky, right?
“The hot air balloon is on fire and can be seen at night! The robbers were carrying out a kidnapping, so they wouldn’t be so ostentatious, right?”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately snapped his fingers at Bian Dong.
“Yes, detective Zhao had already thought of it,” Bian Dong quickly replied.”I have already contacted the local Meteorological Department. On the night of the exploration team’s disappearance, it was a northeastern wind. If the hot air balloon was raised, it would definitely fly Southwest!”
“Southwest?” Li Jing walked quickly to the map and drew three circles in the air.”There are only three large towns Southwest of the base, yelmaz, bakeller, and suwuli,” she said.”But these are the areas we’ve been investigating. We didn’t find any suspicious traces …”
“No!” Zhao Yu suddenly said,”Captain li, it can’t be these three cities! Think about it, it’s only a few dozen kilometers. Is it necessary to use a hot air balloon?
“Besides, if the robbers could think of the hot air balloon, it means that they are not stupid! It’s impossible for them to hide in these three cities and wait for the police to come and search!”
“Hmm …” Li Jing thought for a moment, then nodded and asked,”where do you think the hot air balloon will go?”
“That’s not difficult,” Zhao Yu said confidently.”The robbers wanted to use the hot air balloon to go to a relatively safe place that we can’t think of!
“There … I think their target is here!”
As Zhao Yu’s finger pointed at the map, everyone at the scene was shocked.
The place that Zhao Yu was pointing at was none other than Death Valley, where he had fought the terrorists earlier!
“The Neya Valley?” The local police officer said in surprise,”that … That’s already within the borders of vachery … Isn’t this a little …”
“We know the wind direction that day, but we also need to know the wind speed!” Zhao Yu said,”according to the calculation of the wind speed that day, if the robbers took action at midnight or 1 o’ clock, they would have had enough time to drive the hot air balloon into the Nelia Valley before dawn!
“Look, this route doesn’t even need to make a turn!” Zhao Yu gestured on the map and said,”from the base to the Nelia Valley, they can fly straight without passing by any cities or villages, so they are not worried about being seen by others!
“And when they reached the valley, there was no one there, so they didn’t have to worry!”
“You mean …” Li Jing’s brows were tightly furrowed.”The real criminal is from valkries?” What is their purpose?”
“Is he … Trying to frame me?” Bian Dong’s expression changed as he clicked his tongue.”They want to use the exploration team to stir up internal conflicts in tarstan, or a conflict between tarstan and our country?
“That … That would be troublesome!”
“No, you’re wrong!” Zhao Yu retorted decisively,”if that’s the case, why go through so much trouble? Directly killing the exploration team members in the camp, isn’t that the best way to frame them?”
“Hmm … Oh …” Bian Dong quickly recovered from his confusion.”That’s right! In that case, he wouldn’t have to waste his energy to use hot air balloons to bring her back to vachelia!
“This is strange. What are they doing?”
“I don’t care what they’re going to do!” Zhao Yu said,”if they were really taken away by hot air balloons, at least … The exploration team members are likely to be alive!”
“But …” Li Jing pointed at the map again.”The valley is so big. How do we know where they took the people?”
“That’s right. The sakra’s party, the Kashmir sect, and that terrifying banner organization are all entrenched on the south bank of the Neya Valley,” Bian Dong said.”The armed forces of tartein can’t set foot there at all! Even if we know where the exploration team has been taken, I’m afraid there’s no effective way!”
After Bian Dong finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.
To the locals, vacheria was synonymous with “danger”. For many years, the two countries had been in constant conflict, and the conflict was deep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf the exploration team members were really captured and brought to vachery, then this matter would be very difficult to solve!
“Zhao Yu …” Li Jing looked worried. She pulled Zhao Yu to the side and whispered,”we don’t have a base in vachery, so I can only ask my superiors for instructions!” Let’s see if there are any other channels that can help us find out more information!”
“Vacheria isn’t a country.” Seeing Li Jing’s expression, Zhao Yu asked,”is it not easy to use diplomatic channels?”
“Right! This mission is indeed very difficult …”Li Jing said awkwardly.” I’ve been an overseas commander for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve encountered such a difficult mission.
“At the very least, we have to be sure that the exploration team must be there before we can apply for diplomatic channels!
“Otherwise … The higher-ups would not rashly negotiate with them!”
“Hmm…Understood!” Zhao Yu nodded, his heart throbbing. Now, he finally understood what the big event represented by the hexagram poem was!
Such a difficulty level had indeed exceeded everyone’s imagination.
“Qian Kun Gen!”
In an instant, this shocking and mutated hexagram flashed through his mind again. A long-lost passion slowly rose in his body, and many images flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
Among them, Miao Ying had reminded Zhao Yu not to risk his life.
There was also the hope in Division Chief Jiao’s eyes before she left.
Of course, there was also his bet on the 700% completion rate …
What to do?
In the face of an earth-shattering change of hexagram, in the face of an unprecedented major event, how should he choose?
