C1014 Why Did the Scholar Leave

"I'm not sure about that either. Maybe it's because no one usually comes in here. That's why I can guarantee that the water is clean. " Moreover, there was a big pit in the past, so after cleaning it up, it can be turned into a reservoir. "

"Since the reservoir is not far away, they should go and take a look first. "Let's go and take a look. Since it is not far away, it is possible to take a look."

Regardless of whether the reservoir had any clues about Zhou Zhuo's disappearance, they still decided to take a look.

Chu Yun and the other two followed behind Zhang Yan. When they walked about 500 meters forward, they saw a natural platform that could accommodate four adults.

This platform might have become smooth and smooth due to frequent visits. There were some rough marks on it that were specially made. It was probably specially built by the villagers to prevent tourists from getting hurt.

They came to the platform and saw Zhang Yan suddenly turn to the left. If one didn't look carefully on the left, one wouldn't be able to see the road at all.

Zhang Yan gently pushed aside the weeds on the side and revealed a few steps. "Let's go, let's hurry over. We can see it from here."

They walked up the stairs. After walking up about ten steps, they saw a place similar to a cave. However, this cave was not deep. They could pass through it in an instant.

When they passed through the cave, what entered their eyes was a large reservoir filled with water. There was still a wide path around this reservoir. It was probably to make it easier for the villagers to clean and repair the water during summer.

Chu Yun glanced at the reservoir. If Zhang Yan hadn't brought them here, no one would have been able to enter. They wouldn't have been able to see the reservoir at all.

Chu Yun and the others looked to the side. The surrounding environment was natural and there were very few man-made traces. If they couldn't find this place, Heita wouldn't have come here in the dark.

Therefore, Chu Yun thought about it and felt that the possibility of Zhou Zhuo coming here wasn't high. Could it be that Zhou Zhuo was still walking up? If he did not come here, where could Zhou Zhuo go?

"Boss, what do you think? Will Brother Zhou come here?"

Chu Yun looked at Heita and sighed deeply. He shook his head gently. "If Miss Zhang hadn't brought us here, I don't think we would have been able to find this place no matter how hard we tried. Besides, it's so dark. He wouldn't have come here alone."

"But if he followed the black shadow, would the black shadow have gone to the reservoir?" Qian Bin's sudden words made everyone present nervous.

If the scholar came to the reservoir in the middle of night? The only thing Chu Yun could think of was that there was no other possibility other than suicide coming to the reservoir. After all, who would come here for no reason?

If that black shadow wanted to commit suicide, could it be that Zhou Zhuo fell into the water in order to save him? "Miss Zhang, did the police come here to investigate?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yan did not know what Chu Yun meant. "I want to ask my dad about this. After Qian Bin and I called the police that day, the police came here to investigate for two days. We did not have a village the next day, so we went back to town to wait for news."

"So I don't know if the police came to the reservoir to investigate. " But I think since Qian Bin didn't mention anything about the black shadow before, the police probably didn't come here to investigate. "

Zhang Yan was right. Qian Bin indeed didn't tell the police about the shadow before. After all, the matter of them investigating the scholar was carried out in secret. If there was no need, they didn't want too many people to know about this matter.

But Qian Bin was anxious now. He quickly ran to Chu Yun's side. "Hey, boss. Do you think it will affect the best opportunity for the police to find Brother Zhou because I did not tell the police about the black shadow?"

"If Zhou Zhuo was harmed because of my concealment, Qian Bin probably would never forgive himself for the rest of his life. But now, they were unable to know if Zhou Zhuo was in this reservoir.

"Right," Wang Yao said. Miss Zhang, do you know why the scholar leaves every year?" Chu Yun felt that he might be able to find some useful clues from the scholar.

At least, Chu Yun felt that knowing the reason why the scholar left, it was possible to know why Zhou Zhuo had come here. Perhaps he could roughly guess if Zhou Zhuo had fallen into the reservoir.

"The scholar leaves every year to pay his respects to someone." Zhang Yan didn't even think about it. As she spoke, she followed Chu Yun and the others back to the path of climbing the mountain.

"Pay his respects to someone?"

"Yeah, I heard him mention it to my dad before. It was probably two years ago." Zhang Yan stopped and thought for a moment. "Oh, I think so. It was three years ago. It's the new year, isn't it? That was about three years ago. "

"At that time, the scholar seemed to have just returned from outside. My father invited him to drink at home. When we were eating, I heard my father ask him. " He goes out every year. What exactly is he doing? "

Actually, he didn't say anything in the book at that time, but after a few glasses of wine, he probably got drunk. So he started chatting with my dad and mentioned his lover along the way. He also said that he left for the sacrifice. "

"It was also at that time that we knew that the scholar would leave at this time every year and go to a place to pay his respects to his family, but I don't know if he was his lover or not."

"Moreover, the scholar would only leave every year for about three to five days. If the scholar didn't return tonight, he would probably return tomorrow as well."2

Zhang Yan's words reminded Chu Yun. Previously, Zhang Yan's father said that the scholar would usually come back after three days, but now Zhang Yan said three to five days. Where exactly did this scholar go? Would he come back?

If it was really as Zhang Yan had said, that scholar was coming back tonight, would their actions be discovered? Chu Yun was also calculating in his heart.

"By the way, Brother Chu, do we still want to go up?" Zhang Yan pointed at the road in front of them. "Because the people from the village have come here before. There was snow here before, but there were no shoe prints on it. That's why everyone said that Brother Zhou would not come up the mountain."

Chu Yun looked to the side and saw some snow that hadn't melted yet. He thought about the scholar's home, so he asked, "Is he the only person in the scholar's house?"

"Yes, he is the only one in the scholar's house for so many years. In the front yard outside, the scholar used it as a shop. He lives in the house at the back."
