Chapter 101: Small Path

"When I came last time, I considered this problem. Of course, at that time, I didn't know Li Sanqiu was shot to death."

"Killing and abandoning the body is a basic operation that modern people understand. In the mountains with such a good environment, dragging the body to the front of the mountain cave is too wasteful."

"There are few people here, which is true, but after a period of time, someone will always pass by. And it is not easy for the body to be eaten cleanly. After it rots, animals won't eat it..."

"Even if it is thrown into the downstream of this mountain stream, it is better than putting it like this. The probability of being discovered will be much smaller."

Liu Jinghui stood at the entrance of the mountain cave, muttering constantly.

Jiang Yuan, who was busy in the mountain cave, soon couldn't listen anymore. In his view, this kind of reasoning without evidence is like playing a game. Even if you guess it right, you still need the support of evidence.

Since this is the case, shouldn't the first consideration be evidence?

However, Comrade Liu Jinghui is a fourth-level senior police officer, and Jiang Yuan shouldn't let people shut up like this. After listening to it, he simply said: "Why don't we try it?"

"Try what?" Liu Jinghui attaches great importance to Jiang Yuan's opinions now.

"I heard before that a prosecutor from the procuratorate, in order to prove that a large suitcase can hold a body, lay in it himself, and used the evidence suitcase that had contained the body..."

Before Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Liu Jinghui actually understood.

Liu Jinghui touched his chin and pondered: "You mean, let's get a body here and try throwing the body?"

Jiang Yuan clearly saw the guide not far from the entrance of the cave retreating.

"You play the body, and let the two guides help throw the body." Jiang Yuan sized up Liu Jinghui's body and said: "I see you were so tired climbing just now. Even if you count the work of throwing the body, forget it."

"En... what you said makes sense." Liu Jinghui nodded slowly, and then explained: "I mean, throwing the body is too tiring, this might be the reason, let's try it."

After speaking, Liu Jinghui called the two guides over and stated his request to act as a body and be thrown by the two.

The more experienced guide breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the more eager younger guide with his hand, and said: "Carrying and walking is more tiring than dragging and walking. This is different from what we agreed."

Liu Jinghui nodded repeatedly: "I know, this is an uninvited request, because the case is now encountering..."

"Need to add money." The more experienced guide interrupted him.

Jiang Yuan smiled, turned and entered the mountain cave, and continued to dig the bottom of the cave. There were rotten grass and mud here. In some places, the soil was poked with a finger, and it was all black. Occasionally, a centipede or something crawled out, and he had to be glad in his heart: it's not bad to know it.

In the distance, Liu Jinghui screamed.

His weight was also 150 or 160 pounds. Once he completely relaxed, he was quite heavy. And as long as he left this platform, the environment around him was all kinds of undulating hills, tree stumps, roots, shrubs, vines, etc.

The two guides didn't spoil Liu Jinghui either. One grabbed his arms and one grabbed his legs, and they bumped him from various gentle or uneven places.

After bumping hard several times, Liu Jinghui couldn't take it anymore, struggled to get up and said: "No, I can't do it. Change someone, I'm responsible for carrying people... I'll add money! Adding more money is fine!"

About an hour later, Liu Jinghui returned to Jiang Yuan, his whole body dirty as if he had just been kneaded by Goddess Nüwa, his cheeks mixed with mud and water, roasting by the fire, his body trembling slightly.

"Too tired?" Jiang Yuan sorted out the evidence bag.

"Tired. Very tired." Liu Jinghui exhaled, but his eyes were bright, and he said: "But it proves a problem even more."

"Oh?"

"As long as you have a certain amount of energy and physical strength, throwing the body is not a problem." Liu Jinghui said: "And the energy and physical strength I mentioned, anyone who can successfully arrive here should be equipped with it."

This logical judgment is a bit interesting.

Jiang Yuan stopped his movements and looked at Liu Jinghui.

Liu Jinghui rubbed his painful shoulders, big arms, elbows, small arms, wrists, as well as chest, waist muscles, hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, toes, and said: "My conclusion is that these people have the ability to throw the body, but they don't bother to throw the body."

"Consistent with your previous judgment?" Jiang Yuan meant, you suffered this crime in vain.

Liu Jinghui understood, smiled calmly, and said: "Not bothering to throw the body and not having time to throw the body are different."

"Isn't it that there is no time to throw the body?"

"Not necessarily. Walking on the mountain road is not that tense, it's a matter of two steps fast or two steps slow. We didn't do well just now, 30 or 40 minutes is enough. If we do it faster, 20 or 30 minutes is enough."

Jiang Yuan nodded slowly. Indeed, if you want to walk faster on this kind of mountain road, there are ways. It's nothing more than crawling and rolling, being dirtier and injured, but compared to the risk of the body being discovered, this kind of thing is easier to accept.

Liu Jinghui likes this state of being recognized the most. His whole person is comfortable, and the injuries on his body... still hurt, but he said firmly: "Another thing, the problem I have been considering all day yesterday."

Jiang Yuan cooperated with an "En" this time.

Liu Jinghui said: "If they consider it thoroughly and want to throw the body, they can completely hold a gun and force Li Sanqiu to climb by himself. Climb to a place they think is safe and suitable for throwing the body, and shoot him to death."

Jiang Yuan listened and started to think. If you want to say it, Liu Jinghui's reasoning still makes some sense.

Liu Jinghui hadn't finished speaking, and then continued: "Looking at the result, I feel that they may not even have the intention to hide the fact of killing with a gun."

"According to what you said, these are desperate people." Jiang Yuan said.

"That's right, they are desperate people." After Liu Jinghui sighed, he picked up the satellite phone and dialed.

For him, finding the direction of the "Wu Long Wild Man Case" was the greatest achievement. Liu Jinghui had originally prepared for a protracted war.

"Where are you? Can you make it in time? Okay, then you pay attention to safety, and it's okay to come up in batches." Liu Jinghui exhorted, and then said: "When you come up, bring a few big roosters. Just buy them from the village at the foot of the mountain."

The police on the other side of the phone were obviously nervous: "Did you encounter anything unclean? Do you need to bring donkey hooves or something?"

"I just think the big roosters raised at the foot of the mountain are delicious." Liu Jinghui laughed.

The opposite side hung up the satellite phone in anxiety and incomprehension.

Liu Jinghui ended the call, made a victory gesture to Jiang Yuan, and said: "Don't worry, you guys do the investigation well, we will walk this road again, and we will always find clues."

Jiang Yuan was a bit surprised by Liu Jinghui's confidence, but having a confident person in charge of the team didn't seem to be a bad thing. Moreover, he even thought of buying big roosters.

"Bring the seasoning up too." Jiang Yuan reminded: "Our bags are full of evidence bags and investigation boxes, and there is no seasoning."

"Received." Liu Jinghui made an OK gesture again, and then called the satellite phone, showing the generosity of sufficient funds.

For the next three days, a total of more than a dozen people dug the mountain cave and its surroundings.

Ate 10 big roosters.

They were all big roosters for more than a year. They were stewed in the morning and eaten at noon. The soup was soaked in rice, and the taste was excellent.

If it weren't for the mountain stream water not being able to keep up and the logistics not being replenished, the life near the mountain cave would have become quite interesting.

By the third day, the two police dogs and two colleagues from the provincial bureau arrived. Liu Jinghui reorganized three search teams, led by three senior police officers from the provincial bureau, two teams forward and one team backward, slowly searching.

Even if a long time had passed, since it involved firearms, even if it was just going through the motions, they would search the surroundings again.

Liu Jinghui changed into a training suit, but still led the team with mud all over his body.

The road in the mountains would not become easier to walk because of many people. On the contrary, when encountering places where it is easy to fall, one fall is a whole string.

But everyone still buried their heads and marched.

When they said they were going into the mountain, the police from all sides were unwilling, but now that they had already entered, there were fewer people talking nonsense. The police are always a disciplined force. They usually have some room for tolerance, but in this complex environment, those with clear minds know that the leaders at this time will really be decisive.

The team walked for another day, stationed in a smaller platform mountain cave, and ate two big roosters.

Liu Jinghui found the two guides again and asked: "The small path here, we walked for three or four days last time, and we were all turning around in the mountains. Let's find another road to walk."

"There are so many of us." The guide said embarrassedly: "This road is the hunter's small path before. Walking other roads will only be more difficult, and I don't even know some roads."

"Is it so complex in the mountains?"

"That's for sure. This is still the periphery of the primitive forest. It is more dangerous inside the primitive forest."

Liu Jinghui's heart moved, and he asked: "The primitive forest is a protected area, right? How far is it from here to the primitive forest?"

"Not far, hundreds of meters, one or two thousand meters are possible, but the road is too difficult to walk, and after so many years, people don't go inside anymore. Maybe the road is flooded."

"It should be able to lead somewhere, it can't be that the road is broken while walking." Liu Jinghui's thinking had a slight change, and he requested: "Let's walk out, but don't take the same road back. Think about how to arrange it."

"That will be far."

"Not afraid of being far, but it can't be too far." Liu Jinghui shook the insects on his pants and thought: "Walk out in three days, four days is fine, no more than five days."

"Then walk out of Liyuan City."

"Go."

"Need to add money."

"Okay." Liu Jinghui agreed in one breath.

Jiang Yuan could only follow the team. He had already walked here, and he couldn't turn back even if he wanted to.

Fortunately, the satellite phone could always contact the outside world. A team of technicians, carrying a few big roosters, walked for three full days and finally saw people.

Standing on the ridge, the guide was also covered in mud, basking in the sun, and said relaxedly: "We are equivalent to bypassing the west side of the protected area. This should be Langgu County in front. If we continue to walk west, we will go directly into Pingzhou Province."

"Crossed the province?" Jiang Yuan and Liu Jinghui shouted together. ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
