Chapter 17
The only possibility
Cu helped Wu Xie check all the camera wreckage to see if there were any intact memory cards. The professors seemed to be completely out of the way of doing these things, but just kept watching them.
They finally removed six SD cards that might still be usable. After plugging/into the computer, there were problems with the first few pictures, and only two of them could be recognized by the computer.
Li Cu thought to himself: If these people want to destroy the camera, they should be in a very panic state, because if they are very calm and just want to destroy the photos inside, they just need to burn the SD card.
But he soon realized that he was wrong.
In both SD cards, there are a large number of photos, and the number is amazing. Most of them are landscape photos, and few people are taking photos. Obviously, the owners of these two SD cards are professional photographers, not ordinary travelers taking photos everywhere. If all of these photos are to be introduced, it is a waste of time. There is only one type of introduction. The soldiers of the followers will tell them when they see those photos. All the scenery in these photos are the scenery of Gutongjing.
Sure enough, the owners of these SD cards have been to Gutongjing.
Li Cu asked at the time: "Where is Gutongjing?"
As soon as he finished asking, everyone looked at him, and a student-like person said, "You haven't seen the information? You don't know where we are going?"
Wu Xie looked at Li Cu and said in a teasing tone: "Yes, you actually ask such a question."
Li Cu was embarrassed for a moment before thinking about the solution and said, "I'm not saying that I don't know where that is, I just sighed." Then he pretended to say again: "Where is Gutongjing?"
Wu Xie patted him and said, "If you don't do your homework well, don't pretend. The professors are there, let the professor tell you."
When Wu Xie said that, he looked at a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked over 50 years old, but his muscles were very developed and he didn't look like a scholar at all. Li Cu remembered that the information stated that this man seemed to be the leader, named Wang Daming.
Wang Daming's name sounds like a person from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but in fact he is from Shandong and seems to be an expert in remote sensing. When he heard Wu Xie say this, he said: "In fact, the definition of that place is quite vague. I only know that Gutongjing is an area surrounded by three seas, and the three seas are in the shape of a font. Those three seas are also elusive. Even in this era, they are often not found using satellites. They seem to be alive. It is said that someone saw it once in the Qing Dynasty and cast a signal flag, but when he searched, he only found a desert and did not see the three seas."
"Is this the legendary Haizi who can move by himself?" Li Cu asked.
Wang Daming nodded: "Many people think so. Perhaps the three lakes will not move, but will appear at some point. After that time, they will sink into the bottom of the desert."
"So that's the case, why is the place we are going to be called Gutongjing?"
"That's where the plane cast its signal flag at that time." The person next to Wang Daming said: "Did you not read the information at all?"
For the first time, Li Cu felt a little embarrassed in this group and stammered: "I don't have a good memory."
"Don't discuss these things, you have to know to go back and continue reading the information." Someone in the team said again, obviously a little unhappy. Li Cu looked over and said that person also had an impression of that person, but when he was reading the information, he felt that this person was not a good role to be with. He was a very inconspicuous person with no characteristics to describe. If you have to talk about characteristics, this person's hair is naturally curly, and he was under 30 years old. He was one of several students, but it is said that he had achieved some success. Therefore, he also had an equal status with the professors on weekdays.
He couldn't remember the name of this person, so he decided to call him Curly.
Curly continued: "These photos are normal. It is impossible for ordinary landscape photos to burn the camera because of these photos. And why do they have to bury them?"
"If Dongzi is not the photo inside the camera, is it the camera itself?"
"You mean, they suddenly became disgusted with the camera collectively?"
"Is there any disease like camera phobia in this world? I haven't heard of it."
"I tell you that anything can happen in this world, and people are afraid of hair. Hitler had body hair phobia. Except for his mustache and hair, all his hair was shaved."
"But it is impossible for so many people to get sick at the same time."
After everyone was talking and talking, Li Cu felt a little embarrassed. His knowledge was obviously unable to participate in such discussions. After all, he was still a student and pretended to be 27 years old. His previous habits still made him dare not discuss issues with adults easily.
Wu Xie ignored him and just flipped the photos over and over again. At the end, he tskated and calmed everyone down. "There is only one possibility that such a thing will happen." He said.
"What?" asked Curly.
"Everything buried in this pit is camera. There is nothing else, which means it has nothing to do with load, robbery or discarding goods. This matter must only be about the camera itself. However, there are so many cameras here. If every camera owner has the idea of destroying the camera at the same time, or someone instigates the action to destroy the camera, the chance is also very small. In other words, it is impossible for everyone to think that the camera must be destroyed at the same time, and the travel group will not have a leader saying that all cameras must be destroyed, because there will definitely be no one who obeys such orders."
"What is your conclusion?" Professor Wang asked.
"The conclusion is that the people who destroyed these cameras will not be the entire tour group, but may be a small group of two or three people. They took all the cameras, checked and destroyed these things." Wu Xie said: "We can restore the passing of the time. There was a team or several pairs of tour groups. When they were stationed in a certain place, someone stole or took away the cameras of these tour groups in some way, and checked the contents here and then destroyed them."
"This is also a conclusion. If so, then they may think that with so many cameras, one of them may have taken the Dongzi they wanted." Professor Wang said: "So, have they found the photos they are looking for?"
"When we were searching for the camera just now, did we find that there is a camera without a memory card?" Wu Xie asked.
Li Cu and Wang Meng both shook their heads, and Li Cu mustered up the courage and said, "I think since they will burn all the cameras instead of just burning memory cards, even if they find the photos they are looking for, they will take away the cameras containing the photos."
"It makes sense." Wu Xie took a few sips of cigarettes, fiddled with the wreckage a few times, and said to Wang Meng: "Check it again to see if there will be any omissions." Then he said to the others: "Everyone should go and do things first. If you are interested, you can stay and help. Don't stay and ignore the serious business, and it will cool down soon."
