Chapter 82: Watching Footage on Your Show (Please Support, Second Update)

"Pfft— hahahahaha, Teacher He felt like he'd been backstabbed."

"Wow, that woman is so hateful, just like that she destroyed a guy."

"But you can't really blame that woman either. The guy himself couldn't handle it—who can he blame?"

"Exactly, it takes two to clap."

Here, Teacher He changed the subject and said, "So later, did they catch the robber?"

"They caught him. He was caught for another case, and then he himself confessed to the robbery. Only then did this side realize they'd caught the wrong person. At the time, they apologized and gave compensation, but that kid was really angry and went straight for the kill."

Damn, this is way too creepy.

"Bride price?"

Chen Fan asked another term.

Old Zhou said, "Now I get why you'd have haters. Every single thing you ask about is some socially awkward topic that people don't want to chat about. How about it, stirring up conflict, you happy?"

'Just tell me yes or no.'

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

Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement—could it really be like this?

Bai Lu said, "I saw a piece of news before. A guy was hitting a woman, and an old man on the side stopped him. The guy said this woman's family wanted three hundred thousand, and he couldn't come up with it, so they should break up. But the woman wouldn't have it—she insisted on making a scene, forced the guy to marry her, and even had her uncle and relatives go hassle him and beat him up."

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

"I don't know. Who can really figure out feelings?"

Chen Fan didn't bother responding. He took out his phone and started fiddling with it.

Meanwhile, several trainees on site organized the evidence and handed it to Old Liu.

Old Liu gave the trainees their scores.

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

Xiang Qinqin's score wasn't high.

Meanwhile, Xu Xintong was clever—she found a hidden strand of hair that had been left at the scene.

Xiang Qinqin noticed the difference in the blood and got extra points, but she didn't know how to do the DNA comparison, so no points were added or deducted.

Everyone got their scores, and Old Liu handed the evidence to Li Tian.

Li Tian rubbed his head and said, "Exactly the same as before. Looks like this case really is a dead end."

In the office, in front of the camera, Old Liu and Li Tian sat face to face.

"This case—you've been chasing it for seven years. Merging cases requires a lot of pressure, and the higher-ups can't just merge cases because of one word from you. The cost is too high. That's a forest, such a huge area. If you spread people out, how many would you need? Even if you pulled in every cop from every nearby province, 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 right now. You know what my criminal profile came up with?"

"What?"

"I found the top ten criminal profilers in the country and got one answer: these people are desperadoes. Remember—these people."

Desperadoes.

Assassins living deep in the mountains? 》

|"Then go chase wildlife. These people in the mountains can't just be killing people, right?"

"Kill people, my ass. I looked into poaching—nothing. Can't find a damn thing. Too many people."

Old Liu said with a dark face, "Out with it. It's definitely nothing good. Go on, what else is there?"

"I want to take people into the mountain."

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

"Around that cave, more bodies were found, but they'd already rotted. The medical examiner determined they died last week. This is the closest I've gotten. I feel like I could still find something else at the scene—we just didn't look carefully enough."

Going up the mountain takes four or five hours one way. That distance alone makes a second inspection very difficult.

Old Liu said, "You covering food and drink?"

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

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

Old Liu found the trainees and said, "Do you want to go into the mountain?"

"Into the mountain?"

Everyone looked at Old Liu.

"Just as you've seen with this case, Li Tian wants to investigate again, so he's hoping you can go help out. The journey is pretty far—four or five hours on foot up the mountain, and there's no vehicle."

Everyone looked at each other.

"I'll go."

Xiang Qinqin stepped forward on her own initiative.

With the first one out, the rest nodded one after another, saying they could do it.

Old Liu looked at everyone with satisfaction and said, "You haven't disappointed me. Good. This time, everyone gets five extra points. However, Xiang Qinqin gets seven—two extra points for being the first to step forward."

"I've always taught you to be rational, but some bottom lines can't be given up. So, you need to gauge the limits yourselves. Understand?"

Everyone nodded.

Once the decision was made, they moved.

They checked in with the production crew here, and several cameramen chose to follow the livestream with their phones.

Rather than cameras, because lugging those around would probably kill them.

The drive to the destination was over an hour.

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

There was no time to eat, so everyone could only push themselves harder and rush toward the mountaintop.

A four-hour trek—there's no telling whether these young people can handle it.

"So the hell why am I even here? Give me an explanation, hey."

Chen Fan grumbled angrily off to the side.

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

"I told you, 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."

Although a free trip might have made him worry these young people would resist, these new recruits were completely delighted.

They genuinely loved photographing nature.

When they reached the location, Li Tian said: "If you don't want to suffer twice, investigate thoroughly this time—climbing mountains is just too tiring."

The new recruits began digging around everywhere.

Qu Yiling silently calculated, then followed the direction of her earlier hypothesis, stepping forward along the path of the blood.

Then she began searching everywhere.

"What are you looking for?"

Qu Yiling said: "I think there's a bullet. My gut tells me there's a bullet."

Instantly, the live stream fell silent, and Li Tian became delighted.

If there's a bullet, this case isn't small.
