Chapter 4662: Clues in Despair

"This is a waste of time. We can't wait." Lin Yi said:

"Since this method doesn't work, let's change our thinking and look for where the cave entrance might be."

"Actually, I think there might be something wrong with that crack." Ning Che said:

"Now, assuming that there are ruins inside, then that crack is most likely the closest place to the ruins. If we chisel it a few times with tools, maybe a crack will appear, thus opening a passage and entering the ruins."

"If we do this, we will be exposed. Even if we do find it, we won't be able to get the things in the ruins."

This is the mainland of the United States. If a conflict breaks out here, even with Lin Yi here, he will not be their opponent, so this must not be done.

"Normally, if there is no large-scale mountain movement, there must be ruins with an entrance leading to the interior, so the entrance must be hidden, but we haven't found it yet."

"Then there is only one way left. Call Jenna and ask her what Sapkins did when he came here that day. Then, based on his movements, we can focus on investigating. Maybe we can get some reliable clues."

Ning Che's opinion was affirmed by others, and then the four of them returned to the car, and she called Jenna.

"Hello, Ms. Jenna, I'm Lola, from the police station, and I want to know more about your husband."

Ning Che's English is very standard, and Jenna's anti-reconnaissance ability is not that strong, so she can't hear any clues.

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know what your husband Sapkins did when he came here on vacation. Can you tell me in detail?"

"It's been a while, I need to think about it carefully."

"Don't worry, you can think about it slowly."

"He didn't do anything, actually. He accompanied us to set up the tent for a picnic, and then we had a barbecue here. Then he went fishing and looked at the surrounding scenery. After fishing, he said he was a little sleepy. We didn't leave in a hurry. He slept here for a while, and we left in the evening."

After hearing what Jenna said, Ning Che seemed to realize something.

"You said he had a dream at that time. Was that dream had at this time?"

"Yes, he slept for more than two hours. I was still complaining that he was on vacation and why he had to sleep here, but he just said he was too sleepy."

"We are investigating the truth of this matter. The more detailed information you provide, the clearer our investigation will be and the faster our progress will be. So you can think about it again to see if there is any information you have missed."

Jenna on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.

"No, he really didn't do anything that day. He was always in my sight and didn't go far."

"Okay, thank you, we'll look into it as soon as possible."

"I also hope that you can find out the results as soon as possible."

"Will do."

After saying that, Ning Che hung up the phone and looked at Lin Yi and the others.

"The situation at that time didn't seem to be anything special. After he came here, he didn't go to check out Mount Zork. From this point of view, he should not have any interest in this place."

Ning Che, Cai Dongyi and Sheng Wenjing were all feeling a little depressed, because there didn't seem to be any useful information in it and they had no way to make use of it.

"He went to sleep after fishing. Something is wrong here." Lin Yi said.

"What's wrong?"

"We can plan the time. They are here for vacation, so they won't leave too early. Let's assume they leave at 10 a.m., and it takes about an hour to drive here. They will arrive here at about 11 a.m., and then they will set up the tent, prepare the ingredients, and start the barbecue. This part of time will be counted as two hours, so now it is 1 p.m.."

Several people nodded and agreed with Lin Yi's speculation.

"Fishermen are a very peculiar group. Once they catch a fish, they won't stop too early. According to Jenna's description, they go back at sunset. In this season, the sun sets around 5 p.m., so they go to bed around 3 p.m. The fishing time is only between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., and I haven't counted the time when they eat, go to the bathroom, or hang out. Otherwise, the fishing time would be even shorter."

After listening to what Lin Yi said, Ning Che felt that he had grasped a clue.

"You mean the problems that occurred during the fishing process?"

"Yes, because he said he felt sleepy after fishing, and then he had that dream." Lin Yi said:

"The fishing trip definitely didn't last more than two hours, which doesn't fit the fisherman's logic, so I think something must have happened that forced him to stop fishing."

Ning Che's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:

"While he was fishing, he may have been under the influence of hallucinogens. He thought he was sleepy, so he went back to the tent to sleep, and then he had the dream."

"That's right!" Lin Yi said:

"Make another call to confirm where he caught the fish."

"it is good."

Ning Che dialed the number again.

"Hello, Ms. Jenna, I want to confirm with you where Sapkins fished at that time. Do you still remember?"

"I know where it is, but I don't know how to describe it to you. Let me think about it."

"Ok."

After a while, Jenna suddenly said:

"I took a photo of him at the time. You can take a look at the photo and you should be able to find it."

Ning Che was about to speak, but Lin Yi mouthed his words to her and she instantly understood what he meant.

"I also want to ask, approximately how long he fished."

"It'll only be about half an hour."

The expressions of several people became serious, because this guess was almost the same as what Lin Yi said.

Ning Che looked at Lin Yi, confirmed that he was alright, and said:

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, we will investigate the results as soon as possible."

Ning Che left Jenna an email address, and not long after, Jenna sent the photos to him.

Because they had been searching the surroundings for two consecutive days, the four people knew everything around them very well. The moment they saw the photo, they were sure that the place in front of them was the one in the photo.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the place where the Sapkins fish were, on a large rock.

From a fisherman's perspective, this is an excellent fishing spot. Even if I am not very fond of fishing, if I find such a good spot, I might stay and fish for a while.

But Sapkins left after fishing for less than two hours. There must be something wrong!
