Chapter 97: A Good Place to Kill People

Wulong Mountain. Google search reading

The mountain is high, big, and covers a wide area.

Coming down the highway from Liyuan City, without entering the city, and going around the city for dozens of kilometers, you can see the huge Wulong Mountain lying on the horizon, stretching so long that you can't see the end.

In fact, there is really no end. The wide Wulong Mountain spans across multiple cities and even provincial boundaries. The most central part is the structure of the original forest, and a large area has been designated as a nature reserve.

On the contrary, the main peak of Wulong Mountain is a 5A-level scenic spot in Liyuan City. There is a temple on the top of the peak, a holiday villa at the foot of the mountain, and a farmhouse near the suburbs.

Most of the human activity areas stop here.

Liu Jinghui drove the tattered Great Wall Cannon directly to a village at the foot of the mountain, and then parked the car in the yard of a farmhouse.

Jiang Yuan felt dizzy in the car, and the more he drove, the more he felt that Liu Jinghui was unreliable.

But it was already evening, and he felt that he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

The farmhouse Liu Jinghui chose was in a remote corner of the village. When it got dark, the sky was like a chessboard, the moon was like a hook, and he fell asleep with his head resting on the stars, and heard the sound of frogs in all directions. Looking ahead, wherever the light reached, the red bricks and green tiles were fresh and pleasant. Looking further away, it was as dark as ink, and the walls were full of dead people and he couldn't see them.

There were no other guests in the farmhouse. The boss and the boss's wife arranged a room for each of them, and then went back to rest.

"Go to sleep first, if there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow." Liu Jinghui had been driving for a year, and his sleepy eyes could not open.

Jiang Yuan only had time to whisper: "Do you have a gun?"

"No, I can't use it even if I do." Liu Jinghui took out a thing from his back, handed it to Jiang Yuan, and said: "Take it for self-defense."

"This... sprayer? Why don't you give me an anti-wolf spray." Jiang Yuan took the thing Liu Jinghui gave him, took a look, and was almost amused. The black can with "tear gas sprayer" written on it is the sprayer used by the police.

"You have to buy the anti-wolf spray yourself. This one is quite powerful." Liu Jinghui showed his sprayer to Jiang Yuan and said, "Tomorrow we will go into the mountains. What use will our police pistols be? We can't use batons and batons, but this one is useful. If you encounter a bear, spray it in the face, maybe it will work."

"The bear was close to my face, I took out a can of pepper water, I really..." Jiang Yuan sighed, waved his hand tiredly, and went back to the room to sleep.

It has come to this point, there is no need to argue about weapons.

The next day.

At dawn, the sound of roosters crowing woke Jiang Yuan up.

Jiang Yuan dressed neatly and went out to see. In the morning light, a big rooster with red crown and colorful feathers stood on the red brick roof of the chicken coop and crowed proudly in the sky: "Brother Dog, Brother Dog..."

The owner of the farmhouse also got up and stood in the yard, punching in the direction of the rising sun.

Jiang Yuan looked at the boss and the chicken and said, "Can the rooster be eaten?"

The boss slowly closed his fist, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "It is raised to eat, but this chicken is more than two years old and too big. You two can't finish it..."

"That's it. Let's eat it together." Jiang Yuan didn't even ask the price. He gestured and said, "Let's do it now. It's too late to go out in time."

"Okay, I'll call my wife to light the fire and boil water." The boss walked while talking, deliberately turned a corner, and came to the chicken coop. He deliberately didn't look in the direction of the big rooster, and grabbed the wings of the rooster that took off in a hurry.

The big rooster kicked in a hurry, and the boss clasped his hands together, muttering: "Little chicken, don't blame me, you are a farmer's dish..."

When Liu Jinghui got up, the chicken was already cooked.

"Oh, I'm eating chicken for breakfast. It's a little hard." Liu Jinghui, who had just woken up, smelled the aroma of the stewed chicken and was in a good mood.

Jiang Yuan sat at the small table, looking at the pot of stewed chicken as if no one was around, as if he didn't hear what Liu Jinghui said.

The boss looked at Jiang Yuan carefully, and felt that he was full of murderous intent. Then he whispered to Liu Jinghui: "This is the rooster that crowed this morning. Your friend got up and saw it, so he asked me to kill it and cook it."

Liu Jinghui was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly he understood the boss's mood a little.

...

After the meal, the two of them tidied up a little, and then waited for the two guides to arrive before starting to go into the mountains.

Seeing locals leading the way and helping to carry luggage, Jiang Yuan felt a little relieved. He said as he walked, "I thought the provincial department would call the local county bureau, or at least the police station. Did they really investigate it themselves?"

"The Wu Long wild man case has been launched three times." Liu Jinghui said as he walked, "The last time, it was me who started it. More than 20 people went into the mountains. The efficiency was very low and irreversible damage was caused to the scene. In addition, there is a police station outside the mountain and forest police inside the mountain, which is also complicated."

Jiang Yuan was speechless. He had just been to the provincial department and knew that it was rare for the provincial department to handle a case alone. Most of the time, if the provincial department wanted to show its concern, it would send two or so police officers to the local area, just like Liu Jinghui and his team did when they handled the Tan Yong case last time. When necessary, they would directly take over the local criminal police team.

This time, Liu Jinghui found Jiang Yuan and said that there were two people, but from the perspective of the provincial department, it was equivalent to him going out to handle the case independently.

Liu Jinghui's exquisite mind could tell Jiang Yuan's thoughts in a blink of an eye, and said: "This case is famous because both the deceased and the discoverer have certain social influence. The deceased was a columnist with the pen name Li Sanqiu. Specializing in writing about life in the mountains, adventure and seclusion.”

Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't know, Liu Jinghui continued: "The traveler who found his body was a guy from Changyang City... he should be called a camping agency, or an outdoor equipment store. Because he often organized outdoor activities, he formed and participated in many After accidentally discovering the body, he posted a lot of posts and photos under the name "Wu Long Savage", which attracted a certain amount of attention across the country. "

"In this case, some boring people will come to see it." Jiang Yuan immediately thought that the situation at the scene might not be good.

"Yes." Liu Jinghui sighed: "Originally in the wild, the preservation conditions of the corpse and the scene were very poor. After being watched by people, the conditions were even worse during the second scene and the third scene. But it was the first scene. It was still done by the local police station, and the work was very rough..."

Jiang Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth inexplicably and said frankly: "I thought you didn't care about the evidence."

"There must be a basis for reasoning." Liu Jinghui guessed that Jiang Yuan's evaluation of him did not seem to care, and continued: "In short, after the incident became fermented, it attracted the attention of the provincial department, and later organized a more capable team , it was finally confirmed that the identity of the deceased was Li Sanqiu, and he had nothing to do with the savage. But by this time, travel friends and those savage fans no longer believed the announcement. Instead, it attracted the attention of Li Sanqiu's readers and the cultural media. ”

Jiang Yuan struggled to walk on the path that only allowed one person, and gasped: "So, what do you expect me to find?"

"It's best to use fingerprints." Liu Jinghui smiled and said: "I know you are also very good at on-site investigation. You once solved a murder case through re-examination. It would be good if you can find any clues through re-examination. Just retreat and seek help. Secondly, see if there is any trace evidence that can be used.”

"Well... then when we get there, let's give it a try." Jiang Yuan agreed. Liu Jinghui mentioned all the skills that he is currently good at. To be honest, Jiang Yuan would not object to using these skills to solve cases.

Liu Jinghui also nodded and stopped talking to save energy.

At an altitude of 200 meters from the village, they entered the deep mountains and forests in a pure sense. Here, the trees are tall and scattered, vines are tangled and scattered, and deep grass or other unknown plants are trying to fill up all the remaining space. The only trail is mostly submerged, so the guide has to wield a hatchet to cut through the mountain.

Mosquitoes, snakes and other little things that humans don't like are everywhere, and people are quickly immune to them.

Even though the road conditions were so difficult, the location that the few people were walking on was still not a virgin forest. It was a secondary forest that had grown back after being cut down decades ago. This can be seen from the obvious dominant tree species around.

Jiang Yuan observed and thought silently.

Crime scene investigation in the wild is completely different from crime scene investigation in the city. In the city, if a person is full of enthusiasm, it can be easily detected by on-site analysis ten years later. But in the wild, as long as ten days and a half, the blood stains will disappear completely.

Earthworms, ants, microorganisms, all kinds of familiar or unfamiliar creatures will come out, shout "Boss is awesome", and turn around and leave.

By the same token, technologies such as DNA have little use here. A lump of semen sprayed on the ground will not be stored for much longer than the shelf life. That is to say, cigarette butt needles, which are traditionally sold by thieves, have a little value.

And corpses that are extremely difficult to dispose of in cities cannot be preserved for long in the wild. Wild boars, bears, and microorganisms can easily eat the corpse clean. Burying this behavior is conducive to the preservation of the corpse in the wild.

It can be said that here, if a person is lost, he is lost, and whether he can find it back depends entirely on luck.

Even whether the body can be found depends on luck. Just like the case of Wu Long Savage this time, if a travel companion hadn't happened to go up the mountain and penetrated into Li Sanqiu's hermitage, and also happened to choose to rest there for two days, it would have been difficult to find the body.

Jiang Yuan thought of this and couldn't help but look at Liu Jinghui in front of him. This guy probably had similar suspicions, and maybe he was thinking of looking for more corpses.

Just like a tiger that easily eats people, it will add people to its diet and try to eat more people; a shark that easily eats people will add people to its diet and try to eat more people. Many people; if a person kills someone easily without being punished, he will also put the person on the list and no longer have any taboos.

Wu Longshan is really a good place to kill people.
