Chapter 48

"Pfft, hahahaha, Teacher He feels like he's been backstabbed."

"Wow, this woman is so hateful, ruining a boy just like that."

"But you can't blame the woman entirely; the man couldn't hold his own, who can you blame?"

"Exactly, it takes two to tango."

Teacher He changed the subject and asked, "So later, was the robber caught?"

"Caught. He was caught for another case, and then he confessed to the robbery. That's when they realized they had caught the wrong person. They gave apologies and compensation at the time, but that kid was truly furious and took ruthless action."

Damn, that's too chilling.

"Bride price?"

Chen Fan asked another term.

Old Zhou said, "Now I know why you'll have haters. The things you ask about are all topics in society that aren't convenient to discuss. What's the matter, are you happy causing conflict?"

"Just tell me if it's true."

"Yes. The girl's parents looked down on the man, but the girl didn't want to let him go."

Everyone sighed; it could be like this?

Bai Lu said, "I saw a news report before: a man was hitting a woman, and an old man nearby stopped him. The man said the woman's family wanted 300,000, and he couldn't come up with it, so they should break up. But the woman wouldn't have it; she insisted on making him marry her and even had her uncle and relatives go to harass and beat him."

Chen Fan said, "Guess why they were making such a scene?"

"I don't know. Who can understand emotions?"

Chen Fan ignored her and took out his phone, starting to fiddle with it.

Here, the students at the scene organized the evidence and handed it to Master Liu.

Master Liu gave the students their grades.

Chen Ti and Qu Yiling could have gotten good grades, but both started making mistakes, so points naturally had to be deducted.

Xiang Qinqin's score wasn't high.

Additionally, Xu Xintong was clever and found hidden hair; this hair was left at the scene.

Xiang Qinqin found the difference in the blood, earning extra points, but she couldn't perform the DNA matching, so no points were added or deducted.

Everyone got their scores, and Master Liu gave the evidence to Li Tian.

Li Tian rubbed his head and said, "It's exactly the same as before. It seems there's really no hope for this case."

In the office, in front of the camera, Master Liu and Li Tian were face-to-face.

"You've been chasing this case for seven years. Combining cases requires a lot of pressure, and the higher-ups won't combine them just because of your word. The cost is too high. That's a forest, such a huge place—how many people would you need to spread out? Even if you brought in all the police from nearby provinces, it wouldn't be enough."

Li Tian rubbed his bald head and said, "Sigh, it's a thorn in my heart. I want to pull it out now. Do you know what my profiling result was?"

"What?"

"I found the ten best profilers in the country, and I got one answer: this group of people are desperate criminals. Remember, this group of people."

Desperate criminals.

Killers living deep in the mountains?

"Then why are you chasing wild animals? This group of people in the mountains can't just be there to kill people, right?"

"Kill people my ass. I checked the poachers, but it's useless; I can't find them at all. There are too many people."

Master Liu had a dark face and said, "You coming here definitely means nothing good. Tell me, what else is going on?"

"I want to take people into the mountains."

"Are you crazy? What if something happens? These kids can't handle that kind of hardship."

"Bodies were also found around that cave, but they had already decomposed. The forensic report says they died last week. This is the closest I've ever been. I think I can find something else at the scene; we just weren't careful enough."

Going up the mountain takes four or five hours; just the journey alone makes a second inspection very difficult.

Master Liu asked, "Are you covering food and drink?"

"Yes, I'll pay for your food and drink out of my own pocket."

"Fine, I'll go ask these kids."

Master Liu found the students and said, "Do you want to go into the mountains?"

"Into the mountains?"

Everyone looked at Master Liu.

"Just like the case you saw, Li Tian wants to investigate further, so he hopes you can go help. The journey is quite long; it takes four or five hours to go up the mountain, and there are no cars."

Everyone looked at each other.

"I'll go."

Xiang Qinqin stood out proactively.

With the first one, the others nodded one after another, indicating they could do it.

Master Liu looked at everyone with satisfaction and said, "You didn't let me down. Fine, this time, I'll add five points to everyone's score. However, Xiang Qinqin gets seven points—two extra for being the first to stand out."

"I've always taught you to be rational, but there are some bottom lines you cannot lose. So, you have to grasp the scale yourselves, understand?"

Everyone nodded.

Action followed words.

They notified the production team, and several cameramen chose to follow with mobile phones.

Instead of cameras, because carrying those would probably exhaust them to death.

It took over an hour to drive to the destination.

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, it was already past nine in the morning.

There was no time to eat; everyone had to rush to the top of the mountain.

Whether young people can handle a four-hour journey is completely unknown.

"So, damn it, why am I following? Give me an explanation, hey."

Chen Fan complained angrily on the side.

Li Tian said, "Because these kids don't know as much as you do."

"I said, I don't know forensic investigation."

"Do you think I believe that?"

"Then tell me, what do you want?"

Chen Fan said, "I don't know, we'll talk about it later."

However, it was a government-funded trip. Originally, they were worried these young people would be resistant, but these newcomers were actually very happy.

They were genuinely fond of nature and taking photos.

When they reached the location, Li Tian said, "If you don't want to suffer twice, investigate clearly this time. Climbing the mountain is really too tiring."

The newcomers began digging around.

Qu Yiling calculated silently, then followed the direction of her previous guess, moving forward step by step along the location of the blood.

Then she began searching everywhere.

"What are you looking for?"

Qu Yiling said, "I think there are bullets. My intuition tells me there are bullets."

Instantly, the livestream went quiet, and Li Tian was happy.

If there were bullets, this case wouldn't be small.
