The criminal police team was blocked from the mountain by mudslides. Due to heavy rains for several consecutive days, landslides collapsed on many county roads leading to Luoshui Village. The already steep and difficult winding highway was completely interrupted. Although the government departments quickly summoned personnel to temporarily clear the landslides, the landslides were still happening everywhere. Municipal officials were also unable to do so for such natural disasters. According to news reports, workers unfortunately died due to secondary landslides while under construction.

For safety reasons, government departments can only slow down the construction progress and ensure the safety of personnel first.

It seems that the nearby villages need to resume normal traffic, which is basically impossible to achieve without ten days and half a month. This depends on whether the weather is beautiful and whether the heavy rain can stop in time.

When Qiuxi brought this bad news to everyone, everyone's face was very serious.

This is tantamount to announcing the support of the Criminal Police Team.

After discussion, waiting without time is meaningless for the protection of the site. It is better to use existing forces to investigate the site. Li Yiting made a quick decision and decided that he would carry out the work personally. Originally, as a relative of the deceased, he had to avoid suspicion by police, but he, a real criminal policeman, had no choice at all.

Chen Tianyu explained to Qiuxi in time and asked Qiuxi to participate in the on-site survey work. Although this person was immature, he actually studied related majors, which was a good time to experience it.

Li Yiting naturally agreed.

So the two took advantage of the rain for an hour or two to carefully investigate the trap where Li Qiumao was killed. Li Yiting's sword was not old, Qiu Xi had a high understanding. The two cooperated tacitly and found some useful clues.

First of all, judging from the surrounding situation, the plants and trees were obviously trampled. At first glance, it seemed like a person was trampling in one direction, but Li Yiting still found a suspicious point. There were signs of plants and trees falling down in a direction opposite the trap. Due to the toughness of the shrubs, this lodging was not obvious. This position is about twenty meters away from the trap. If it is not carefully observed, it will be missed. If it rains for a few more days, the plants will grow wildly, and this trace will completely disappear.

Secondly, about six or seven meters near the trap, a bamboo produced curvature. To be honest, if it were someone else, I wouldn't be able to see this phenomenon of almost no deformation, but we know that Li Yiting was born here since childhood. Whether a bamboo had been bent by external forces and whether the bamboo branches and leaves were abnormal can be determined after simple verification. Li Yiting himself is also a person who likes to climb bamboo. He tried to slip up. By the way, the angle and position of the bamboo bend was exactly above the trap. Li Yiting felt a little at the heart, so he carefully checked whether there were any signs of wear on his climbing part. Sure enough, a trace was found at the root of a thicker bamboo branch.

Again, the careful Li Yiting actually picked up a lot of tiny iron sand near the trap. Of course, he is not unfamiliar with this thing. It is the standard charge of bird guns. Generally, bird gun ammunition used in the mountains not only contains iron bars, but also iron sand, which is used to enhance lethality. The only disadvantage after adding iron sand is that the flesh of the prey is affected and it is difficult to remove it completely, and it often bleeds the teeth. He could not find any trace of the bird gun everywhere, nor did he find the landing point of the iron bar. According to the walking rules of the iron sand and the ballistic analysis of the bird gun, there was only a small hole left in the area where the iron bar should have been.

They tried to find some obvious physical evidence such as shoe prints, but due to limited technical conditions, they didn't even have an ordinary measuring ruler, so they had to leave it alone. The key point was that Li Yiting vaguely discovered that the scene seemed to have been cleaned, but due to the infiltration of rain, it cannot be fully confirmed at present.

There must have been a second person on the scene! Li Yiting can basically make a judgment.

As for whether this person is the murderer, why he climbed onto the bamboo and took away Li Qiumao's bird gun, it remains to be investigated in depth, but the suspect of murder has risen sharply.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them carefully got into the trap. At this time, the young and thin Qiuxi played a role. He climbed in along the rope, which was obviously much more convenient than the tall Li Yiting. Li Yiting was a little helpless and could only stand on the upper half of the trap and shoot around with a flashlight. The survey work at the bottom could only be handed over to Qiuxi. Fortunately, Qiuxi did not disappoint his expectations.

When he arrived at the bottom of the cave, Qiuxi was lucky to find some ice slags. The temperature in the mountains was relatively low. After a day and a night, the ice slags had not completely melted, which surprised and happy. Although it was winter now, the possibility of ice slags naturally formed at the bottom of the cave was not high. Qiuxi thought about it and saw that before it rained, he had seen the weather forecast. The temperature in the city was about 8-10 degrees. Even if the temperature in the mountains was low, it could not be lower than 0 degrees, so there was no possibility of ice slags.

He stood at the bottom of the cave, collected the ice slags over and over again, and handed them to Li Yiting. Li Yiting looked at them and almost all the ice slags appeared in a relatively regular shape. He felt at ease in his heart, so he told Qiuxi to continue searching for other physical evidence.

About half a quarter of an hour later—

Qiuxi suddenly shouted happily, and Li Yiting asked, "What did you find?" He was also a little excited.

"A button!" Qiuxi shouted.

Li Yiting was a little disappointed: "What button?"

Qiuxi did not answer. He had finished the survey and shook the rope with his hand to indicate that he was going to get out of the hole. Li Yiting was not in a hurry. He crawled out first and then pulled Qiuxi up.

After arriving at the ground, Qiuxi clenched her fists and did not hand over the things to Li Yiting first. Instead, she trotted to Li Qiumao's body and carefully observed his outfit until it was confirmed.

"Look..." Qiuxi spread her hands, "This button is not Li Qiumao's."

Li Yiting also glanced at him a few times and nodded: "It's not his. Although Uncle Wu is also wearing clothes made of 'Deruiliang', there are not many buttons. The key is that the size of this button does not match the size of the button on the clothes."

He said that "Taoliang" clothes are a kind of labor uniform, a coarse cloth fiber product that is often worn by local people. They are wear-resistant and sweat-absorbing, and are generally green, while the buttons on them are brown round buttons.

Although the buttons in Qiuxi's hand are also brown and most likely to be buttons of Yoro's clothes, they are obviously thicker and larger.

Chen Tianyu also walked over and looked at it. He frowned slightly, and a little turbulent in his heart.

He seemed to have seen this button in his impression!

He has a professional habit. Whenever he meets someone, he will first unconsciously observe the various characteristics of the person, so he usually doesn't say much, which often gives people a feeling of being content with words.

He was curious that Li Yiting didn't seem to see who his button was at all. He looked at it over and over again with the button, and kept muttering: "Do you have many kinds of clothes?"

Alas, Yiting, you are the person in the game! Chen Tianyu sighed softly, without saying a word.

Wan Yongkun, who had been helping with the work, interjected: "There are indeed many styles, and the buttons are very different. I have changed several different ones at your house."

"Is that so? I'm careless." Li Yiting smiled, and he put the buttons in his pocket.

He turned around and asked Qiuxi: "Is there anything else below?"

Qiuxi nodded: "I checked it carefully, except that the button happened to be stuck in the Tukola, and the bottom was very clean."

Li Yiting nodded: "That's fine." He paused, "Didn't you see a bird gun?"

Although he knew it was impossible, he still asked cautiously.

"Bird gun? How could I not find such a big thing?" Qiuxi smiled.

Li Yiting also laughed: "It seems that I'm still a little worried about you boy." He said quickly.

Qiuxi scratched her head awkwardly, expressing her understanding, after all, he was a newbie.

"I will definitely learn from you." He did come from the heart.

Chen Tianyu asked, "Yiting, have you got some eyebrows?"

Li Yiting nodded: "There is a high possibility of murder, but I still have to take my fifth uncle's body back and check it carefully."

"Yes." Chen Tianyu stopped asking questions.

But Kuang Suo couldn't help it anymore, and he asked, "Who is the murderer?"

"Uh, how could I know, why are you suddenly so anxious?" Li Yiting was a little amused.

Kuangsuo's face was not very good, and he looked in a bad state.

"Compare, isn't the murderer easy to lock the button?" He paused, "To be honest, I can't eat for several days, and I feel very depressed."

Wan Yongkun beside him was a little puzzled: "I remember that your psychological quality has always been good, how could you have such adverse reactions?"

Kuang Suo sighed and said, "I can't explain clearly. Perhaps the environment here is somewhat similar to that of Centimono Mountain, which makes me unable to help but think of something."

Chen Tianyu suddenly spoke, "Jiudao, why don't you say it, what did you think of?"

Kuang Suo thought about it: "The remote environment, the strange legend, the bizarre death."

Everyone was a little creepy. Indeed, although the mountain village was quiet and peaceful, once a murder occurred, this special sense of fear would be even stronger.

Several people also realized that the villagers would inevitably have the same fear.

Then generate or create more rumors.

Chen Tianyu thought of more than these, such as: like Crescent Moon Island, artificially using these legends to cover up some ulterior motives.

Qiuxi suggested: "Fourth brother, why don't you find an opportunity to announce the true identities of several people."

Chen Tianyu nodded in agreement. Qiuxi said it was quite reasonable. Now there have been two consecutive accidents of deaths, and the criminal police team is unable to enter the mountain. It is a great atmosphere for the people to celebrate the New Year. They do have the responsibility and obligation to control panic.

It is obviously not enough to rely on the identity of an ordinary policeman in Qiuxi alone.

"Okay, Yiting." Chen Tianyu thought for a while, "It's best for your uncle to do this. Not only is he the most authoritative person in your village, but he has also guessed our profession a long time ago."

Li Yiting nodded solemnly after hearing this: "I'll explain this."

Chen Tianyu turned his head and looked at Kuang Suo: "Comparing evidence is your strength, otherwise, you can verify whose button is? Anyway, with your memory, you can get results by wandering around the village."

"Don't worry, I will complete the task as soon as possible." Kuang Suo took the ordinary button from Li Yiting's hand, and a sharp lightning shot out from his eyes.
Chapter completed!
