Just after four in the afternoon, Zhao Ruxue called, saying she and Ye Qiu were going out to look around, and that she would be continuing her night shift tonight.
Ye Qiu drove to the entrance of the residential complex, waiting for a while until he saw Zhao Ruxue, dressed in casual clothes, coming out.
"Ye Qiu, what are we going to see?"
"You'll know in a moment."
Zhao Ruxue knew Ye Qiu was a top investigator; he must have found something out, which was why he acted this way.
They drove again to the road near Mountain Lake, parked the car, and saw that most of the water pools at the foot of the mountain had dried up and likely flowed into the nearby rivers.
The two climbed up from another side.
Up at the lakeside, they saw that most of the lake water had receded, leaving a significant amount of mud yet to be cleared, which likely would prompt the authorities to send people to clean it up; otherwise, there could be an impact on the suburbs and urban villages nearby.
