The Rio Grande River is the fifth largest river in North America, with a drainage area of ​​445,000 square kilometers.

The Rio Grande is not only the mother river of Colorado State, it is also the largest ecological river in the Gulf of Mexico. Klein saw that a single-plank bridge that could have gone directly to Nanshan was submerged by the blocked Rio Grande.

The half-meter-wide river surface actually reaches a width of nearly 7 meters, and the depth of the turbid river bottom cannot be seen at all.

When Klein saw this, he explained to Tao Xi helplessly: "If you must go to Nanshan to find Amal, this is the nearest road."

Tao Xi frowned and looked at the rapid flow of water and the rising water level on the river without saying a word.

Aksha turned to confirm with Russell: "This was a creek before, right?"

When Russell heard this, he turned around curiously and asked, "How did you know?"

Aksha put his hand into the river with confidence when he heard Russell's words, grabbed a handful of dirt and explained: "Look, I pulled this handful of dirt out of the river. If this

If a large river had existed a long time ago, the soil would not have been kneaded into a ball, because the geology of Mount Antero is mainly shale, supplemented by soil."

After hearing this, Taosi suddenly said: "How often does the upper reaches of the Rio Grande get clogged?"

When Russell heard this, he immediately cursed angrily: "It was a week after the car of aquamarines was robbed! It was originally an ordinary small waterhole. When the rainy season comes, the waterhole is okay.

Rowing on it."

"But soon after Aquamarine was robbed, the water level in that pool rose rapidly in just a week."

When Akshay heard this, he immediately calculated the season in the Antero Mountains and the water storage capacity of the Rio Grande with a serious look on his face and summed it up directly: "It is the rainy season in the Antero Mountains recently. I guess it is a water pool.

The silt accumulation there and the blocked river channel caused the bank to burst directly and flood the downstream areas."

Tao Xi immediately asked after hearing this: "Didn't you say that Antero Mountain is mainly composed of shale and supplemented by soil? Why did silt accumulate there in a short period of time? There is a problem! There must be a problem there!

We have to go there and take a look!”

After Tao Xi said this, without waiting for the other three to express their opinions, he walked upstream along the swollen river.

Instead, Aksha stared at the river in a daze. It was not until Russell turned around and called Aksha's name that Aksha followed him in a hurry.

It is not difficult to walk along the Rio Grande on Mount Antero. Occasionally, Taosi can see the ruts of some cars when walking through some sections of the road.

Klein saw Taosi squatting on the ground staring at a rut in a daze. Klein immediately explained: "At the junction of the Rocky Mountains and the Antero Mountains, the Colorado State Government built a winding mountain road. At first, the state

The government wanted to build a sanatorium at the junction of the two mountains, but later the state government was forced to give up because of the harsh environment of Nanshan. This road can allow some more skilled pickup truck drivers to drive to the top of the mountain."

"OK!" Tao Xi already had a basic judgment in his heart when he heard this, but he could only know the specific situation when he arrived at the pool.

When the sun gradually set, Tao Xi finally saw the small pool that Russell described!

"what the fxxk!"

"Roselle! Are you sure you are not kidding me!"

"Is the small water pool you mentioned so big?" Tao Xi pointed to the basin below that was originally surrounded by four mountains and was actually covered by a vast ocean. If Russell told him that this was a reservoir, Tao Xi would believe it!

Klein was stunned when he saw the situation here. As for Russell, he picked up a dead fish that had already been worried about on the bank of the river and stopped saying anything.

What Tao Xi originally wanted to know was whether the missing aquamarines were under that small pool!

If the river is not very deep, Tao Xi might be able to go down and see what's going on. But when a small pool turns into a natural reservoir in just a few days, you just give Tao Xi 100

How brave, he doesn’t dare to go down!

Akshay, who had been silent all of a sudden, tugged on Tao Xi's collar and whispered: "If I say that I have done a similar experiment in Professor Edmund's laboratory, do you believe it?"

Absentmindedly, Tao Xi said "Uh-huh-huh" for a long time without paying any attention to Akshay.

Aksha was not worried when he saw Tao Xi ignoring him. Instead, he walked around this natural reservoir with no end in sight. When Aksha came to a spring, he pointed his hand at the dried spring.

After playing with it a few times, water began to flow out of the spring.

"Taosi!"

"If I said that the formation of this natural reservoir was man-made, would you believe it?"

When Tao Xi heard this, he frowned and looked at Aksha again. Aksha looked at Tao Xi bravely and shouted: "Russell! That small pool was in trouble in the days when the water level suddenly rose.

,Does it thunder often here?"

When Russell and Klein heard this, they looked at each other in surprise and nodded to Aksha in tacit understanding.

"Taoxi! I don't know what you are looking for or who you are looking for!"

"But I am certain that the formation of this natural reservoir is man-made, and the thunder that Russell and Klein heard was because someone blew up a water outlet in an underground cave near the pool, causing the water level here to rise."

"Because I saw a 1:100 model at the Edmond Research Institute!"

Aksha seemed to be afraid that Tao Xi would not believe him, so he went to a large willow tree hanging on the water and said: "Right here, right here, there is a 3-meter-deep cave! I am on the model

Saw it!"

"If you want to find something, you can go inside and take a look."

When Tao Xi heard this, he glanced at the wooden boat that was being dragged aside and had its bottom dug through. Then he looked at the location of the big willow tree and suddenly realized that it would be most appropriate if a person was left nearby to maintain the water level of this natural reservoir.

At that time, it was completely possible to hide the 36 million aquamarine here.

Who would suspect that a sudden appearance of a natural reservoir would contain an aquamarine worth 36 million?

Aksha didn't know that Tao Xi had so many psychological thoughts. Aksha still said to Tao Xi in an emotional tone: "As for what you just thought, it was just that someone hid something at the bottom of the pool. Your idea is not valid.

of."

"There are many caves at the bottom of the pool. 40% of the Rio Grande is underground river. Do you understand? Those caves are uncontrollable factors! God knows when the water level of the underground river rises, those things will be swept away!"

[36 million aquamarines were robbed] and [Blood Gang godson Tao Xi left the California base camp and went to Denver County in person]. These two events were like a curse that made Klein's head buzz.

His brother-in-law Russell also reacted and kept looking at Klein and blinking.

As soon as Klein saw his brother-in-law's dead state, he knew that he had fallen into his old habit!

"You'd better take back those thoughts you shouldn't have!" Klein hinted to Russell in an inaudible voice, but Tao Xi didn't notice the movement here and instead walked directly above the huge willow tree to take a look.

Then he asked Klein: "Did you know there is a hole here?"

"I don't know. It used to be just a small pool. Normally I wouldn't pay attention to the environment above me."

Russell rolled his eyes at Tao Xi and whispered: "Yes, yes, yes, there once was a homeless man who died in that hole."

Tao Xi turned around again and walked near the damaged wooden boat and saw a series of footprints. The owner of the footprints looked fat and tall, and he was left-handed.

Because his left footprint looked larger and deeper than his right footprint, Tao Xi followed this string of footprints to a gap composed of two large rocks.

There were not only domestic garbage but also a bonfire in this gap. Tao Xi put his hand in and touched the temperature at the bottom of the bonfire and whispered: "It just rained yesterday! This bonfire was at least three days ago!"

"

"Okay! I think we can take a temporary rest here tonight. We will continue heading towards Nanshan tomorrow. Amal is a very important clue!"

Tao Xi lay on the huge rock and looked at the blue sky. The natural reservoir not far away rumbled and released its water downwards. Akshay was still dangling on the river bank not far away.

Instead, Russell took over the tasks of setting up tents and boiling water. Klein kept wandering around the rock where Tao Xi stayed.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask!"

After hearing this, Klein quickly climbed onto the rock in Taosi and asked softly: "Are you looking for the 36 million aquamarines that were stolen?"

"Yes! I accepted Bastian Lang's employment, and I am now helping him solve a very difficult matter."

Klein was stunned when he heard Tao Xi's answer. Tao Xi is the godson of the Blood Gang! How did he end up working as a private detective? But you can't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Klein knows this.

"Where is the gem? What should I do with the gem?"

Tao Xi turned over nonchalantly when he heard Klein's words, but Tao Xi's action startled Klein.

Tao Xi looked at Klein who was acting defensively and laughed out loud: "Okay! Don't worry, you won't be short of what you should take. If you don't take what you shouldn't, you will take it."

Damn it! I am the most reasonable person!"

When Klein heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy. Tao Xi pushed Klein away from him and said with disgust: "You are [Sisi] in the underground boxing match in Los Angeles! Can you have some dignity?

While you’re at it, you’d better think carefully about where Amal will be hiding!”

The night gradually deepened, and raindrops began to float in the night sky again. The four old men huddled in the tent and no one spoke.

The water level of the reservoir outside rose again. Fortunately, Russell set up the tent on top of two rocks at Tao Xi's suggestion. The rumbling sound of the natural reservoir was louder than during the day.

"Tao Xi! Tell me about your plan! The three of us here know the cause and effect of the whole thing. I hope you can share everything you know with me, so that I can use what I know in the past.

Go find the clues you want!"

Tao Xi stuck his head out of the tent and took a look at the rain that was falling harder and harder, and sighed helplessly: "Actually, the thing is very simple. If Aksha remembers it correctly, the 36 million aquamarine must be hidden there!

Moreover, Aksha’s mentor, Professor Edmond, was also involved in this matter. As for whether Bastian is the victim or not, I don’t know!”

"We need to find Amar first! Then find Professor Edmund!" Taosi said while sharing all the information and photos he had with these three people.

"Bastian and Professor Edmond have a relationship of interest. I thought the stolen gems were stolen by the [Antro Hunters Gang] at first, but I don't think you look like this. You are even more...

Like a poor man who has been framed!"

"So I still need to find out who committed this case. The most suspect among them is Professor Edmond, but I don't know his motives."

After Tao Xi said this, he glanced at Aksha meaningfully. Aksha blinked innocently and did not defend himself.

The 1:100 model of the laboratory is placed there. Although the small pool has turned into a natural reservoir due to terrain reasons, there is no evidence that explosives can be found, but that model can send Edmond to prison, but it is not available yet.
