Chapter 362 Paint Mark
In such deep mountains and old forests, no matter how cautious a criminal is, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not leave any traces. So after hearing Qi Yan's words, Cen Lian and Wu Qiushan immediately followed him to the place where the traces were found. Yuan Chenxi stayed where he was and continued the unfinished sampling.
Qi Yan led them around several woodlands that were difficult to walk on, and came to a small open space that was not too open.
This place is covered by trees, vines and other scattered vegetation. It is difficult for ordinary people to realize that there is such an open space behind.
"How did you find this place?!" Zhao Huailong was very confused when he came over after making the call, because he had never found this place before.
"I found it by accident," Qi Yan rarely explained so much. "There is a puddle that has accumulated over the years near this clearing. When I was observing nearby, I saw traces of pythons crossing this woodland, which was coming in this direction. , so I guessed that animals might often come to drink water here, so I came over to take a look, but I didn’t expect that there were some traces of humans here.”
Out of caution, Qi Yan did not directly conclude that this was a trace left by criminals here.
"There really is a puddle," Zhao Huailong knelt down and took a look. "It's no wonder we haven't discovered this place. There were frequent heavy rains in the mountains during the time of Tian Chunhai's accident. Even if a snake passed by this place, you wouldn't be able to tell."
Yongchang City borders Southeast Asia, and the climate is hot, humid, and rainy. During this period, it is rare to have continuous sunny days. Some animals in the mountains are more active than usual, and the traces left on the soil are clearer than usual. It can be said that Cen Lian and the others are here. Just right.
"If someone is really hiding here, then you can indeed see the crime scene." Cen Lian briefly observed the small open space and found that he could see where they were just now through the gaps in the vegetation. Although he needed to use telescope.
"This is a trace of some kind of paint or lacquered pigment," Wu Qiushan examined the traces found by Qi Yan for a long time. It was a little red and black trace, as if it had been rubbed on accidentally, "both red and black are It’s not blood stains, but these types of paint marks are rarer than blood stains in the mountains.”
There are many animals in the deep mountains and old forests. If there are really blood stains, it is difficult to tell whether they are from humans or animals, but such paint marks can only be caused by humans. No wonder Qi Yan was so sure to call them over.
"I still can't understand," Tang Hua leaned over to take a closer look at the traces. "If it is paint or paint, why does it appear here? Could it be that someone came here to sketch."
"It's hard to say. I have to take it back and check what the ingredients are." Wu Qiushan didn't have a clear idea. "If it's really pigment, maybe it's used to make marks?"
Cen Lian shook his head, "It doesn't look like it. I even think it was rubbed off something that had just been painted."
Using such bright colors to make marks in the mountains is because I am afraid that I will not be discovered.
Although it is not clear what the clues found are used for, but compared to the previous helplessness, there is still something to think about.
Cen Lian looked at the marks on the tree trunk, but what flashed through his mind was the facial makeup of Sichuan opera.
He subconsciously felt that this color was somewhat similar to facial makeup.
