Chapter 458 - Our Initial Speculation Was Incorrect
Panda Novel
Three hours later.
A Cadillac sped along the mountain road and suddenly braked.
The wheels of the car scraped against the ground, making an ear-piercing sound.
Before the car could come to a complete halt, the door of the backseat opened.
Mu Yichen, dressed in a black suit, strode out. On his handsome and cold face, there was a rare expression of anxiety and panic.
“How is it? Did you find any clues?”
“Young Master, you’re here!”
Brother Liang quickly went over to greet him.
He even subconsciously glanced at the sports car behind Mu Yichen.
‘We’re very far away from T City’s city center.
‘I was already driving very fast when I brought the security department over, but it still took me nearly five hours.
‘Yet, now, it has only been three hours since I called Young Master Mu.
‘Did… Did he fly here?!’
“What’s the situation? Hurry up and tell me!”
Mu Yichen frowned and urged impatiently.
Brother Liang came back to his senses and said hurriedly, “Young Master, we have already fished out a black car at the bottom of the freshwater lake. Compared to the surveillance footage we have, this should be the car the other party used to kidnap Young Madam!”
On both sides of the mountain road, one side was along the mountain wall, and on the other side was a freshwater lake. It was also a famous tourist spot in the area.
However, no one could hide in the lake water.
Therefore, from the beginning, the direction that Brother Liang and the others searched was mainly towards the people who had appeared on the mountain and in the nearby small towns.
On that day, the tourists who went fishing by the freshwater lake noticed a strange commotion.
They followed the sounds and became suspicious. They then sent people to the bottom of the lake to fish out the sunken car.
When Mu Yichen heard this, his expression suddenly changed and his voice trembled.
“The car sank to the bottom of the lake? Then, inside the car…”
Brother Liang could hear the fear in his words, he hurriedly explained, “Young Master, please don’t panic, there was no one in the car. Based on the traces around, it doesn’t seem to be caused by a murder or accident. Most likely, the kidnappers pushed the car into the lake to destroy the evidence.”
Mu Yichen said in a deep voice, “Bring me there to take a look.”
Brother Liang brought him to the wreckage of the car.
The car had been seriously eroded by the mud and water at the bottom of the lake. From the exterior of the car to the interior of the car, it was all in tatters.
However, it was indeed impossible to tell how much man-made damage there was in the car.
It seemed that when the car sank to the bottom of the lake, there was indeed no one in it.
Mu Yichen secretly heaved a long sigh as he could finally calm down and think, “It seems that this is why we only saw the car entering the highway from the surveillance cameras, but not out… This means that our initial speculation has been incorrect. The murderer didn’t kidnap Luo Chenxi to a nearby town. He must have done the deed halfway, or switched to another car…”
‘This makes it even more complicated.
‘At first, we thought that we would know Chenxi’s whereabouts once we found the black car, so they focused on searching the nearby towns.
‘But now, it seems that the murderer was just using it as a smokescreen.
‘There’s more than a 90% chance that he’s left with Chenxi through other means.’
“Continue to search. This time, the focus is on the other cars that entered and exited this section of the road that night!”
Brother Liang hurriedly responded.
“By the way, Young Master, there’s one more thing…”
