Chapter 1632 - Investigation Report (2/2)
Sophie smiled. She got up, poured a glass of warm milk and handed it to Li Du. “Stop trying so hard to smile. What had actually happened? Do I need to know about it?”
Upon hearing his wife’s thoughtful inquiry, Li Du stopped keeping it a secret. He cut to the chase and said, “Elson doesn’t know where Steve has gone. He has disappeared. Mr. Elson came to find me, hoping that I could bring a group of people to search for him.”
Sophie instinctively asked, “He had disappeared? What do you mean, he is missing? Did he meet with any trouble when he was having his adventure?”
Li Du nodded and said, “It must be so.”
Sophie frowned and said, “Did Mr. Elson bring his adventure route map? I will analyze it for you…”
Li Du waved his hand and smiled sadly as he said, “You misunderstand me. What I could not decide about is not where he disappeared, but whether to look for him. Because it might be dangerous this time, and you are pregnant now, and I don’t want to leave.”
Sophie looked surprised. She took Li Du’s hand and smiled as she said. “Are you hesitating about this matter? I don’t think it is necessary. First, I am a doctor. I can take care of myself. Second, with the help of satellites and all kinds of high-tech tools, you just have to protect yourself and you will be safe.”
Li Du said, “Do you mean you are letting me go and help him?”
Sophie said, “Mr. Elson must have known about my pregnancy. To come to you at this point means he really has no choice. You are his last choice. So I think if you don’t help him, he will be desperate.”
That was what Elson meant, and Li Du understood that he knew, and now that Sophie had given him the green light, he had to help.
He promised to Elson that he would help him, and then he asked Brother Wolf and the elite group to band together. Godzilla did not return to Myanmar after attending Li Du’s wedding, and he was just in time to join the team to explore.
Soon he pulled up a team. Brother Wolf and the others prepared all kinds of tools and supplies, and Elson sent him Steve’s expedition map and route that he had investigated. All was ready except the east wind.
According to the map of the expedition, Steve and his team went to Nunavut Kivalliq in Canada, in the far north of the continent of North America.
Their traces were last detected in a body of water called Angikuni Lake, 320 kilometers west of Hudson Bay and 437 square kilometers in area. There were islands in the middle of the lake, and the island where Steve had supposedly gone was 63 square kilometers in area.
Elson wasn’t quite sure if they had gone to the island or anywhere else, so he needed Li Du to go to the lake area first.
With the private jet, they flew from Los Angeles to port Churchill airport in Canada, where they were transferred by helicopter to the Angikuni Lake area.
On the plane, Brother Wolf handed a book to Li Du and said, “Boss, you should see this information.”
Li Du took over to have a look. The cover of the book read: The Year 1930 Lake Angikuni Inuit Villagers Disappearance Report.
He opened the book. The first page read: in the winter of the Year 1930, in November, the hunter Joe Rabel dragged his tired body to walk in the snow. If he could not find prey it meant that he would not be able to survive the winter, but just then, he was exhausted needed to find a place to rest for the night…
After a search, Rabel found smoke curling from cooking fires outside the forest. Unable to contain his excitement, he ran out of the woods and saw in the snow an Inuit village just beside Lake Angikuni. However, when Rabel arrived at the village excitedly, he found that there was no one, not even a dog to be found…
