Chapter 601 - As expected (2)
Following the direction Cui Guang pointed, Ji Feng saw the scene.
This was a dense forest.Beside one of the large trees was a large pit in the ground. Beside the hole were some newly dug soil. The surrounding vines and vegetation all showed signs of being trampled on.
"At that time, it was the burnt corpses we found in this pit. The other corpses are not here, they are still a bit ahead." Cui Ming introduced.
"Hm."
Ji Feng nodded as he surveyed his surroundings.
After a moment, he said, "Where were the other bodies found? Let"s go take a look."
Cui Ming nodded and said, "Follow me. It"s not too far away."
The group followed Cui Guang around for a while before arriving at another scene. This place was similar to the place where the corpse was found, except that there was no large pit.
Ji Feng attentively examined the young man for a moment, but he couldn"t help but furrow his brows.
"What"s wrong?" Yong Zhan immediately asked.Ji Feng shook his head, "This is not the first scene."
Cui Ming was startled, "It can"t be? "We found the bullet sh.e.l.ls here. Look at that big tree in front of us, there are bullet holes in it, and we even found bullets in it. The ground is bloodstained, and those villagers were obviously shot and killed here!"
"Ji Feng, the police experts from the investigation team have come to see us. This is indeed the crime scene..."
"No."
Ji Feng said with certainty, "This is definitely not the first scene!""But …"
"Although I don"t know why those villagers were killed here, this is definitely not the real place!" Ji Feng shook his head, "Perhaps, those villagers were indeed killed here. However, those charred corpses were definitely not killed here!"
Cui Ming asked doubtfully, "How did you know?"Ji Feng replied, "I naturally have my own reasons …" Old man, get your people to spread out and carefully search for traces of people stepping on them! "
"Are you sure?" Xiang Yongzhan frowned and asked.
Ji Feng nodded. "I"m sure."
"But this forest is so big, it won"t be easy to find some traces." Cui Ming was a bit doubtful, "Furthermore, when we were searching for these villagers, all of our warriors have been here before. If there are traces of them, then there shouldn"t be anything strange …"
Ji Feng replied, "Just go and look for him. I have my reasons for doing so."He said to Yong Zhan, "Do as Ji Feng says!"
Cui Ming said no more, only doubting Ji Feng"s decision. Did the famous Special Forces really come here just to search for clues?
"White Pearl, let"s look around as well." Ji Feng said.
"Yes sir!"
The white pearl nodded slightly.
Yong Zhan walked over and said softly, "Brother, what trace are you looking for? What exactly did you discover? Can"t you tell me? "Ji Feng slowly shook his head and said, "I still don"t know for sure. I will tell you about it after I confirm it."
He could do nothing about it, so he could only order his men to search.However, the mountain forest was really too big, and the soldiers of the Special Forces had indeed found some traces, but in the end, it was confirmed to have been left behind by the warrior in charge of helping to find the people at that time, and there was nothing special about it, so they could only continue their search.
However, the sky had already gradually darkened. It wasn"t too late to arrive, but the trees in the forest were tall and the treetops blocked the light, making it very dark down below. The result was that it was even more difficult to search for them.
At this time, he said to Yong Zhan, "Ji Feng, it"s getting late. We need to camp out early."Ji Feng nodded, "Then let"s leave it at this for now. If you have time tomorrow, bring someone with you to look for him..."
"Not tomorrow," Yong Zhan shook his head. I also want to find the murderer. "
Ji Feng slightly nodded and said, "Tomorrow, Bai Zhu and I will look for him. You have to be careful when you move out."
"Buzz buzz ~ ~!"
At that moment, the communication device on Xiang Yongzheng"s waist suddenly vibrated. He immediately put on his headphones and asked, "I"m the captain. What"s the situation?"
After a moment, Yong Zhan said solemnly, "Order — with you as the center, a.s.semble all of them. I"ll be there shortly."After giving out the order, he said to Eternal War, "Brother, the messengers have received news from upstairs. They have found a suspicious signal in the forest. They suspect that the person who killed the villagers is here. I must rush there immediately …"
Ji Feng nodded, "Go, be careful!"
He said to Yong Zhan, "Don"t worry, this time I"m here to take someone else"s life!"Cui Guang frowned, looked at Ji Feng, and asked, "Leader, the two of them …. Should we leave warriors to protect them? "
He waved towards Yong Zhan, "No need, we"ll go directly over there."
What a joke! With Ji Feng"s skill, why would he need the protection of others? If someone really wanted to harm him, he really didn"t know who would be the one to do so in the end!
Ji Feng smiled and didn"t say anything. However, Cui Ming glanced at them as he left.
Bai Zhu frowned in dissatisfaction. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ji Feng.
"Young Master Ji, I think that Cui fellow is treating us as a burden!" White Pearl said in displeasure, "Why aren"t you saying anything?"
"We all do it for work!"Ji Feng said, "Besides, Company Leader Cui and his men are stationed near the border. It"s quite tiring to patrol every day. It"s normal for them to have a bit of a temper."
Bai Zhu stopped talking, she did not care about these people, she was only concerned about Ji Feng."Let"s go, we"ll continue searching!" "You just stay by my side and keep the communication channel open!"
"Yes sir!"
White Pearl nodded slightly, because it was already late, so she took out her gun, opened it after the bullet was loaded, and prepared to deal with any unexpected accidents.At this time, Ji Feng"s movements were completely unaffected. Under the effect of the bioelectric current, everything in the vicinity became extremely clear, allowing him to easily continue searching for traces of what he wanted to see.
Time pa.s.sed by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, they had searched for another half an hour. However, there were no results. The surroundings were completely silent. The sounds of insects and birds were the only sounds that could be heard from time to time.
Bai Zhu subconsciously followed closely behind Ji Feng, his expression incomparably cautious.
Ji Feng couldn"t help but feel shocked. White Pearl was actually afraid?"Young Master Ji, what are we looking for?" White Pearl whispered, "Do you want to turn on the flashlight?"
"No need, just follow me. I"ll look for him!" Ji Feng said.
"So what are we looking for?"
They had been wandering in the forest for a long time, but had no idea what they were looking for."Hmm?!"
Ji Feng suddenly stopped and looked in a direction as he walked over.
The white pearl immediately followed.Ji Feng walked up to a large tree, touched the trunk of the tree with his finger, and smiled. "It"s here, I"ve found it!"
White Pearl was startled, "Found it? What is it? "
Ji Feng replied, "A small hole.""Huh?"
White Pearl was slightly surprised, and couldn"t react in time, "A, a small hole?"
Ji Feng nodded, "That"s right!"
He stared at the thick tree trunk as a glint of light flashed across his eyes. "So it"s like that!"
Bai Zhu became even more confused. She wanted to ask more, but she could vaguely see Ji Feng moving around as if he was observing something. She could only swallow her words. When Ji Feng was done, she would answer him.In reality, Ji Feng had already finished his work. He looked around left and right, but he only wanted to find some more traces.
"Those villagers were killed here … "Why?" Ji Feng frowned as he muttered to himself, "This is just a forest, is there anything special about this place?"
"Or could it be that when those villagers came here to gather medicinal herbs and hunt, they coincidentally b.u.mped into bandits from other countries that had infiltrated the borders of China, which was why their mouths were destroyed?" Ji Feng frowned as he thought to himself.Although he speculated about the various possibilities, Ji Feng was not sure about the reason behind the deaths of the villagers. Furthermore, it was in a forest with no signs of human life.
Suddenly, Ji Feng seemed to recall something. "Wait!"Frowning, he turned around and asked, "White Pearl, have you seen those photos that were in Yongzheng"s hands?"
Bai Zhu nodded and said, "I saw it."
Ji Feng asked, "Then do you remember the direction the bullets came from when the villagers were killed? From the front, or from behind? "
"This …"
White Pearl was startled. "Young Master Ji, I really didn"t notice this."
Ji Feng continued, "I didn"t notice that either... "In the end, he"s not a professional medical examiner and didn"t notice this detail. What a pity!"Bai Zhu said, "If Young Master Ji wants to know, you can ask the captain. He has a report in his hand, so he definitely will know."
"I can"t contact him right now!" Ji Feng shook his head and said, "He is moving right now. If we contact him, we might alert the enemy and put him in danger. We should wait for him to contact us first!"
Bai Zhu nodded slightly. She was not an ordinary girl, so she naturally understood this principle.
"Young Master Ji, what should we do now?" White Pearl asked.
"No rush, let"s keep watching." Ji Feng said.
Bai Zhu could not help but ask, "Observation? Observe what? Young Master Ji, these are all big trees.
Although her eyesight was not as good as Ji Feng"s, when she activated her bioelectric current, she could vaguely see that the forest was around her. Other than some strange trees and plants, there was nothing special about them.Why did it seem like Young Master Ji had found some sort of treasure?
What was here?
What did Young Master Ji mean by a small hole?
