Chapter 372: Drag Traces
Cen Lian began to search along the direction where the trees were becoming sparser.
There was no road in the mountains, and the ground under his feet was still a little wet, but these did not prevent him from observing the vague unusualness in the distance.
"Brother Yue, look at the bushes over there, are there a few branches close to the ground that have been broken?" Cen Lian held up the telescope and observed carefully, and finally got something.
Wu Qiushan came over, took the somewhat strange telescope in Cen Lian's hand and observed carefully, and soon confirmed Cen Lian's guess.
"It is not certain whether it was broken by an animal or a person," he put down the telescope and looked down, "There is a path here where animals drink water. Although it is very narrow, people can walk."
So the two of them walked towards the place where the branches were broken, one in front and one behind. Before they got there, Cen Lian and Wu Qiushan stopped.
One stood beside a clump of plants that he could not name and stared at the plants, and the other stood beside a two-meter-tall bougainvillea and frowned, his face almost close to the flower.
"There are signs of dragging." The two said this almost in unison, and then turned back to look at each other in bewilderment.
Cen Lian squatted next to an unknown plant, pointing to a few blades of grass near the path, "It was dragged to the north, which is exactly the same as the broken branch we just saw."
"The branches bent at the bottom of my side are also in the same direction." Wu Qiushan looked back and forth, and gestured with his hand to indicate the width, "It's about the width of an adult. Someone dragged the body along this road."
Cen Lian stood up and looked back, and found that they had walked several kilometers.
"No similar signs were found in front. It should have been carried or carried for a while, and it was not put down until it was confirmed to be safe at this location. The limit of my telescope is around here. The broken branch in front is only a dozen meters away from here." Cen Lian said firmly.
Wu Qiushan realized that something was wrong.
"Wait, we are more than three kilometers away. What kind of telescope are you holding?" He recalled the weight that was not right when he just picked it up, and his suspicious eyes fell on Cen Lian.
Cen Lian laughed, "I brought this low-power telescope specially."
Wuqiushan:...
"Last time, the search range around here was within three kilometers. After finding the body, we did not conduct a very detailed investigation around here. I thought about it and brought this telescope that can see three kilometers away." Cen Lian still explained seriously, "In the mountains, it is not a bad thing to be able to see farther."
Liang Huailong saw that they stayed here for a long time, so he came to ask about the situation, but he stopped a few meters away before he reached the two people.
Cen Lian took a look and saw that it was near the place where they just stopped.
"Liang Da, there are traces of dragging along the way, and they disappeared after spreading to the dense forest in front." Cen Lian shouted, "We suspect that the place where the murderer chose to bury the body may be in this direction."
Liang Huailong glanced in the direction pointed by Cen Lian, his expression a little solemn.
"Go a little further in this direction, there is a scenic spot." He walked quickly to the two people, "and it is a well-known temple in our local area."
Tourist scenic spot? This is completely different from the murderer's habit of burying bodies before.
Tian Chunhai's body was found in a deep forest in the mountains, which is difficult for ordinary people to find. This place in the scenic area is very conspicuous.
Is he hoping that the body will be discovered?
