The next day, Tianzong Mountain.
A Mercedes-Benz bounced through the mountain roads, leaving countless marks on it from the sharp branches along the way. Finally, it stopped on the side of the road with a boom.
"F * ck …" Yan Ji slammed the car door and touched the car door and the hood painfully. He helped Jiang Stops, whose face had already turned pale, out of the car. "Coming to this godforsaken place is really f * cking torturous."
Jiang Stops waved his hand, unable to say anything. Suddenly, he covered his mouth. "Retch —"
For a moment, Yan Ji thought that he was going to vomit on him, but then he realized that he was just retching. Jiang Stops coughed a few times to suppress his churning stomach. He took a few mouthfuls of water.
"Look at you." Yan Ji's face was full of heartache. "Don't force yourself. What are you afraid of? If you're pregnant, let's go get married."
Jiang Stops swallowed the water with difficulty and asked tiredly, "Do you know that in this wilderness, no one will find out if I bury you here for three months?"
Yan Ji: "Oh, you're still putting on airs. Didn't you give enough nutrition or dowry? Do you want me to buy you two half-catty dragon and phoenix gold bracelets to wear? "
There were policemen at the entrances and exits of the main roads in Tianzong Mountain. The crime scene was already surrounded by police tape. They even passed several checkpoints when they drove up the mountain. Yan Ji knew that the road was difficult, so he drove the G65 that had been parked in the city center for a long time. However, the closer they got to the Phoenix Forest, the harder it was to drive. In the end, he could only leave the G65 by the side of the road.
The two of them stumbled through the forest, supporting each other as they trudged toward the fiery Phoenix Forest at the top of the mountain.
Yan Ji said, "That's about it. You can add your name to the house, but you have to listen to me when we get married. We can discuss other conditions later. Do you want to hold the banquet at your place or mine? Or both? As for the dowry, I don't want it. You can keep it for yourself. I reckon I'll have to supplement you a little. "
Jiang Stops held onto a rock with one hand, and Yan Ji held onto his other hand tightly. He gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to climb up the steep slope. He staggered a bit before he could stand firm.
"It's just that you have to take good care of your body." Yan Ji lectured him, "Look at you. Don't work so hard on cases in the future. If you have nothing to do, you can raise a dog and water the plants at home. Or you can go shopping and have afternoon tea …"
Jiang Stops held his knees and panted for a while. "We're here."
"Ah?"
Jiang Stops raised his chin and said, "The place of execution."
Yan Ji looked back. On the top of the steep hill not far away, lush verdant phoenix trees were scattered. The open space was surrounded by a yellow and black cordon with wooden sticks. There was a deep pit in the ground.
That was the place where He Liang and Bu Wei and Shen Xiaoqi were attacked.
"Afternoon tea is waiting for me," Jiang Stops said with a sigh. He got up and staggered over.
He Liang's bones had been removed, and even a layer of sand and dirt at the bottom of the pit had been removed. Gou LI personally supervised the transport back to the Municipal Bureau for examination. Jiang Stops squatted at the edge of the inverted cone-shaped pit and looked down. Yan Ji walked over and stood beside him. He heard him say, "This depth is at least more than a meter."
"Well, to be exact, the deepest depth is nearly two meters. The soil that was dug out was piled up in the Phoenix Forest. The bottom of the pit is covered with thick weeds, fallen leaves, and wooden strips. Most of the thin wooden strips have obvious signs of being crushed. "
"A trap?"
"It should be a simple but effective trap. A few years ago, when I went hunting in Africa, I did it myself. First, the soil is hollowed out, and the top is made of wooden strips and haystacks as a load-bearing layer. Then, the topsoil and fallen leaves are piled up, and meat is used as bait. When the prey comes up, it will crush the fragile haystack and fall into the pit with a bang. "
Jiang Stops turned to look at him. "The bait should be water, right?"
"It should be," Yan Ji said. "According to the speculation of the technical investigation at the scene, Shen Xiaoqi should have stood on the trap and drank the bottle of water. Her own weight collapsed the load-bearing layer, and then she was caught off guard and fell in on He Liang."
The two of them were silent for a moment.
Thinking about it, the scene was indeed quite scary. The ground under her feet suddenly collapsed, and she fell in directly and came face to face with the corpse …
Jiang Stops coughed. "Have the footprints and fingerprints nearby been checked?"
"Some footprints were found. The markers on the ground were all checked. However, it rained nearby that night, and the scene was a mess. There is not much reference value. " Yan Ji sighed and said, "At present, we can be sure that there was more than one criminal in and out of the scene at the time of the crime. This is consistent with Li Yuxin's confession. It should be a kidnapping gang appointed by the mastermind behind the scenes."
"A gang can escape?"
"Look at the surrounding geography yourself." Yan Ji pointed helplessly. "This hillside, the bushes, the primeval forest — I don't even need to say anything. Just find a cave and hide in it. Look at the grass all over the ground. It is half the height of a person. You won't be able to find it even if you are ten meters away."
Jiang Stops said casually, "Come on, the work of the field team is so rough." As he spoke, he stood up. However, his legs were numb from squatting for too long, and he fell uncontrollably into the pit.
"Hey, be careful!"
Yan Ji reacted quickly. The moment before Jiang Stops fell into the pit, he pulled him into his arms. Because of the impact of inertia, both of them took a few steps back at the same time.
"…"
