In the open space deep in the woods, a Wuling Hongguang van parked there quietly. The license plate number was Zhang Guifu's "Jiang a-2g309".

Su Le and Xiao Li circled around the car and found no abnormalities. They took photos with their mobile phones. There was no one in the car and there was no debris. The seats in the rear row were removed, as if to load more goods. Su Le put on gloves and pulled the handle of the car door, and the car was locked.

"Let's search for the situation around the vehicle separately." Su Le said to Xiao Li.

Ten minutes later they returned to their original place.

"Have you found anything? Brother Su." Xiao Li asked.

"Walking forward a few dozen meters from here, there is a stone step up the river embankment. I guess the driver parked the car here and hiked to the river embankment." Su Le replied.

"Then let's go up and take a look?" Xiao Li asked.

"Okay, let's go."

Su Le and Xiao Li climbed up the river embankment one by one. This section of river embankment is a section that has not been developed or greened. The width of the river embankment is about 3 meters, basically maintaining its original appearance. There is no moon in the sky. The lights in the distance look like fireflies standing on the river embankment. The wind wrapped in water blows from the middle of the river, pouring into people's necks on June night, bringing coolness. Weeds are growing on the river embankment, and the traces left by people's walking can be seen with the light of their mobile phones. The two walked back and forth carefully on the river embankment, but did not find any suspicious places.

"It's impossible. If someone comes up to fish, there will always be some traces." Xiao Li muttered in confusion.

"Look, look here, Xiao Li." Su Le squatted down and pointed to a place with few weeds on the inside of the river embankment.

"What's wrong, what did you find?"

"The weeds on both sides grow relatively evenly, but there are fewer grasses in this area. It should be traces of frequent passing by people." Su Le said, looking at the dark river water in front of him.

"Can you go down from here? But you can't see anything, it's pitch black in front." Xiao Li also shone the light of his phone here.

"You stand here, I'll go to the side to take a look." Su Le said to Xiao Li.

"Be careful! Pay attention to your feet!"

Su Le held up his cell phone and walked slowly towards the edge of the river embankment. The sound of the river pouring down from afar came from the distance. Not far upstream here, there seemed to be a drop on the river surface. The edge of the river embankment was bare because you could not see the scene in the distance. Every step you took was like walking towards the abyss.

Su Le squatted down and tried to let the light of his phone shine on the ground in front. He walked forward step by step, and the ground in front was cleaned step by step. At the edge of the bare ground, a stone that had been carved appeared. Su Le took another step forward and found that there was a stone step leading to the bottom.

Su Le greeted Xiao Li to follow. They walked down the stone steps for more than 30 steps. At the end of the stone steps was a huge rock protruding to the center of the river. The huge rock was very flat, just like a viewing platform built by artificially. The huge rock extended about 3 meters from the bottom of the stone steps, with a width of about 5 meters, and the entire huge rock can be more than a dozen square meters. There is a circle of artificial railings on the edge of the huge rock. The wooden railings are a bit worn, but they are still strong.

It's night now, there is no light around, so you can't see any scenery in the distance from the boulders. If you come here during the day, stand on this boulder protruding to the middle of the river, and look at the rushing river water, how refreshing it would be.

"Xiao Li, come and see." Su Le pointed to the edge of the boulder near the railing.

"Fishing rod! It turns out that there are really people fishing here. That old man is right." Xiao Li said in surprise.

The two fishing rods were leaning against the railing, and each had a bracket fixed under them. Su Le knew a little about fishing and recognized that this should be a sea rod. From this position to the water surface, it was at least ten meters away, and ordinary fishing rods could not be used.

A folded chair is placed behind two sea rods. A fixed rack is extended on the legs of the chair. The top of the rack is an LED lamp, which should be used for lighting. Next to the chair is a canvas bag. The canvas bag is opened, and there are some fishing gear inside. On the other side of the chair is a plastic bucket with some bait inside. The outside of the plastic bucket is thrown at the fish guard and a net. The fish guard is empty, and it seems that the fisherman has not opened yet.

"Brother Su, come and see." Xiao Li had already walked to the edge of the right side of the boulder at some point.

In front of Xiao Li, there was a smooth stone standing. The three magnificent characters "Guanjiangtai" were engraved on it. The red paint in the strokes of the three characters has almost peeled off, but you can still feel the shock brought by calligraphy.

"Guanjiangtai, I seem to have heard of this place, but I have never been there." Su Le said to himself.

"Brother Su, what should we do next?" Xiao Li asked.

Su Le looked at the dark river surface, then looked at the cell phone whose power had already been called to the alarm, and said to Xiao Li:

"We followed us all the way, Zhang Guifu must have been here to fish. But why did he disappear out of thin air? The fishermen would not throw the fishing gear here and leave. There were no signs of a fight at the scene. Could it be that Zhang Guifu fell into the river? Or he jumped into the river by himself?"

"No, it seems that the fishing is good, how can I fall into the river? Besides, the railings here are quite high and dense, which is very safe for those who are familiar with this place. We just came down carefully because we were not familiar with the situation." Xiao Li seemed to regret their care.

"Let me do this, I'll call Team He and ask her to send someone over. Maybe I can find some clues from the vehicle and fishing gear. You go to the roadside to wait for them, and I'll be here to take care of the scene."

20 minutes later, He Xiaohui, the captain of the criminal police brigade of Dongcheng Police Branch, brought his subordinates and technicians to the scene. After the emergency lighting equipment rack was on, the entire scene was illuminated as if it was daytime.

After He Xiaohui's people arrived, Su Le became idle. He stood beside the stone wall engraved with the Guanjiang Platform, watching the colleagues in the criminal police team carry out their work in an orderly manner.

"Team He, find a bunch of keys in your bag." Someone reported to Team He.

"That's great. Maybe there's the key to the van inside. You can take it down and try it." He Xiaohui was walking around the scene, lowering her head and thinking about something, without raising her head.

The person who found the key quickly climbed up the steps and went under the river embankment. The people at the scene were still busy taking photos, registering certificates and extracting fingerprints.

"Su Le, what do you think?" He Xiaohui suddenly walked to Su Le's side and asked.

"I remembered it!" Su Le said excitedly to He Xiaohui.

"What did you remember?" He Xiaohui asked in confusion.

"I know why the name of that dumpling restaurant is called Hongqu dumpling restaurant!"

"Why?"

"Fishing in the red canal in autumn, the immortals are waiting for Su Shu." Su Le said proudly.

"Oh, this is a poetic one."

"Yes, it's a poem, "Fishing Poems" by Li He of the Tang Dynasty. I just Baidu again, it's really Li He's fishing poem."

"What is Su Shu?" He Xiaohui asked.

"Su Shu refers to fish in this poem," Su Le explained.

"Oh, so that's the case. It seems that Zhang Guifu is still a tasteful person."

"But..." Su Le stopped talking.

"But what?"

"From the information on the ID card, Zhang Guifu is a farmer in a remote city and county in Jiangbei Province. He doesn't match his style of understanding Tang poetry and liking to fish." Su Le said thoughtfully.

"Well, it makes sense, you continue to say it." He Xiaohui answered.

"I saw the fishing rods on the scene, which were expensive. If it weren't for fishing experts, there wouldn't be such high-end configurations. A person who came here from Jiangbei Province to open a dumpling restaurant, even if he likes fishing, would he be willing to buy such expensive fishing rods? Wouldn't he send the money he had worked hard to earn back home? Unless..."

"Unless he has no family or relatives?" He Xiaohui asked.

"Well, this may be consistent with what Lao Sun said. Lao Sun said that he had never heard Zhang Guifu talk about his family in ten years, and even Zhang Guifu's dumpling restaurant was open as usual during the Chinese New Year."

"Oh, it's really unreasonable to see this way." He Xiaohui continued Su Le's words.

"Team He, the key in the bag successfully opened the van under the river embankment, and the site below has been surveyed." A colleague from the branch came up to report to He Xiaohui.

Looking at his colleague who was packing tools on the boulder, He Xiaohui said:

"Okay, then stop the team and get the van below back into the bureau."

After arranging the work on site, He Xiaohui turned around and showed an undetectable smile on the corner of her mouth, saying to Su Le:

"Okay, Lele, the analysis is very clear. It seems that it is really a pity to put you in the police station."

After hearing what He Xiaohui said, Su Le quickly approached He Xiaohui and said in a low voice:

"Sister Hui, please transfer me over."

"Okay, tomorrow morning, you and Director You will go to the branch for a meeting. Let's study Zhang Guifu's disappearance." He Xiaohui agreed readily.

"That's it! When will I receive the official transfer order?" Su Le quickly asked.

"The transfer order? I'm going to go to your mother!" He Xiaohui fell down and walked towards the river embankment with big strides.

"well!"

Su Le sighed helplessly, looked at the dark river surface, and followed He Xiaohui and climbed up the river embankment. However, Su Le was still very satisfied with the harvest tonight. Zhang Guifu's disappearance finally made progress, and he could also participate in the work of the criminal police team. Compared with the dull and boring life before, Su Le was already very content.
Chapter completed!
