The sky slowly brightened.
It was a little cold at the top of the mountain in the early morning. After all, it was already close to early winter. It had snowed a while ago, so the top of the mountain was densely covered with a layer of white frost.
However, when Shen Yi saw the white frost, he was stunned on the spot.
Then, he quickly stood up and ran in a few directions.
If the rain could wash away many things, then the white frost was the best support that could reveal the hidden things.
Under the cover of the white frost, footprints of different depths appeared in Shen Yi's sight. Moreover, Shen Yi was 100% sure that these footprints were not left by tourists.
There was no other reason. It was simply because the environment of this place was very bad, and it was not a tourist attraction. Not to mention local tourists, even foreigners would not come to this lousy place. Not only was there no beauty to speak of, but it was also full of thorns. Only a fool would come to the back of the mountain.
As for the three girls from yesterday, they didn't come here with the mentality of a tourist. They purely wanted to find a higher place to watch the sunrise. Obviously, this was the only place within ten kilometers that suited their choice.
Other than that, the footprints were all about the same size, almost all between 42 and 45 yards. In other words, there were at least five footprints here, and all of them were men. Even if they were traveling, as long as they were in a group, would there only be men? What kind of joke was this?
Of course, although Shen Yi's reasoning was too arbitrary, this could definitely be used as an important clue.
Therefore, Shen Yi took out his phone and began to record the footprints. Yes, it was a video, not a photo.
He followed the footprints step by step, but to his disappointment, these footprints still disappeared after reaching the cliff.
There were no left or right paths. In other words, his speculation yesterday about the possibility of taking a detour was wrong.
Looking at the cliff that was more than five meters wide, Shen Yi fell into silence. He activated his Searching Eye to the limit, trying to find some clues from the footprints.
However, to his disappointment, there were only footprints…
Hmm? Suddenly, Shen Yi was stunned for a moment. Then, he gently tapped the footprint on the edge of the cliff with his hand. Then, he suddenly realized that there was a very fine scratch under the footprint.
Shen Yi smiled when he saw the scratches. His deduction yesterday was correct. The murderer could not have come around, but if he built a bridge in the middle of the cliff, all the problems would be solved.
Because there were stones on both sides of the cliff, even if they really built a bridge, there would not be any traces left. Based on the outline of these scratches, Shen Yi had a bold guess about the object that built the bridge.
In order to verify this guess, he turned around and continued to search on both sides of the scratch.
As expected, about 50 centimeters away from the scratch, he found an extremely fine scratch. If it were not for his Searching Eye, anyone else would probably have missed it.
"Smart enough? Using a ladder as a bridge, I thought you guys were very capable.”Shen Yi sneered and quickly went around the cliff to the other side.
Just as he had guessed, there were two scratches on the other side, about 50 centimeters apart. Most importantly, he found five pairs of footprints on the other side.
After recording everything, he returned to his original place.
At this moment, Zhou Chao jogged over and said,"" Little Shen, we've found all the bodies. Dr. Xu is on his way…"
Before Zhou Chao could finish, Shen Yi raised his hand and said,""The other side is Provincial Road 405. You go back and find a technical investigator personally. Find the surveillance cameras on this section of the road. I'll take a look when I get back…Forget it, I'll go over personally. You don't have to follow me.”
"Sigh…Little Shen…What the f * ck?" Zhou Chao was dumbfounded.
After Shen Yi arrived at the foot of the mountain, he did not stop at all. He did not even say goodbye to Li Xuening before he drove away quickly.
Li Xuening raised her hand and looked at Shen Yi, who was far away, with her mouth agape. She immediately stomped her feet angrily and snorted lightly before following Xu Han.
Xu Han shook her head in amusement." You? It's obvious that Xiao Yi has found some important clues. Let's not disturb him. After such a terrible murder case, he's under a lot of pressure."”
Li Xuening chuckled." Aiya, Sister Xu, I'm not angry. I know he's very busy now, but I have to vent my emotions too. Otherwise, how can I show that I have a boyfriend?"”
I... Xu Han was dumbfounded. No matter how good her upbringing was, she could not help but be filled with black lines at this moment. She knew that she should not have comforted Li Xuening at all. If she had not said anything, she definitely would not have eaten a mouthful of dog food in such a hasty situation today. It was simply too much.
Li Xuening seemed to have realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly held Xu Han's arm."Aiya, Sister Xu, I was wrong. I'll treat you to dinner tonight?”
"Okay, I want to eat…"
"Yes, yes. I'll ask the auntie in the cafeteria to save more.”
" Emmm." Xu Han sighed heavily. It had been more than half a month. Why did she not learn from her mistakes? Why did he have to dig a hole for himself for no reason? Now, he had buried himself alive. How good was that?
He broke away from Li Xuening's hand without a trace. Xu Han lowered her head and went to the corpse that was discovered to start working. She didn't have the slightest intention of paying attention to Li Xuening. Well, not at all.
An hour later, Shen Yi rushed into the police station and went straight to the technical investigation department.
Now that Shen Yi was famous in the bureau, the technical investigators had also worked with Shen Yi a few times, so they had a good impression of this young man.
At this moment, when he saw Shen Yi running over in a hurry, the boss of the technical investigation team, Cheng Suhai, hurriedly walked over and said with a smile,"What's wrong, great detective? Did you find anything new this time?"
Shen Yi pulled out the mountain he had captured on his phone and handed it to Cheng Suhai."Are there any surveillance cameras on Provincial Road 405 next to this mountain?”
Cheng Suhai stared at his phone for a while and nodded.""I'm not sure about that either. I'll have to contact the traffic department and ask them myself. I'll give you an answer in half an hour at most.”
Shen Yi smiled and said,"We still have to hurry up. The overall situation only gave us seven days."”
"Understood. Wait for my news!"
