After Coach Geng's explanation, I understood what happened back then.

After imagining that two teams start from the same starting point, the first team to reach the top will win honor and applause, which is the common idea, and it can be said that most people think this way.

But in fact, the original mountain climb was not carried out like this, the time was indeed the same, and the teams did start from the same starting point, but the way of travel after going up the mountain was strange.

Even the path up the mountain is not the only one, after the careful arrangement of these instructors, the most convenient path to the top of the mountain is often selected, and the road ahead is long, not from the beginning of the regulations, will be able to reach the safety of the simple.

On the first day, almost all the teams were able to reach their intended location, and even the rest of the day was safe, as long as no one in the team was injured due to an accident, there were basically no problems.

But early in the morning of the third day, the real difficulty began, because in the early morning of the third day, all the climbing teams had to face a huge problem.

That is the most peculiar geomorphological feature of Gebrama Peak, and the location of the snow-capped mountain has become a nightmare for many people.

It is said that at least half of the more than 30 professional and amateur teams in this position were forced to stay where they were.

And this key point lies in their ropes, the general rope in the cold resistance, leaked the key problem, the climbing rope can not bear the strength at all, as long as you pull hard, it will soon break.

The team led by Coach Geng, because they had changed the latest climbing ropes before, and after several attempts, there would be no problems in coping with the initial low temperature, so they could be said to be the fastest team at that time.

It was followed by two foreign mountaineering teams, while the amateur mountaineering group was relatively embarrassed, and the professional equipment could not keep up, which was obviously their biggest problem.

And the next two-thirds of the way, I said goodbye to them completely.

In the back of the journey, there are less than ten teams left, half of which are professional teams in Europe, and there are only two professional teams in China, one of which is formed by Jin'an City, and the other is from the southeast region.

The other teams are some spontaneous teams, although the results are a bit unsatisfactory, and even getting good results is no longer a thought, as long as they can successfully reach the top, it is already good.

But two days later, all the teams were forced to stop halfway up the mountain, because of a sudden snowstorm, which fell head-on, and there was no way to continue in this weather.

One of the teams in Europe wanted to brave the snow because they thought their equipment was more advanced, but the whole team lost contact under the blizzard.

The remaining teams who were trapped in the middle of the road by the blizzard held on in the tent for nearly three days before continuing to march towards the top of the mountain, but the road after the blizzard became more and more difficult to walk, not only the danger of avalanches, but even the direction was a little lost, and the supplies saved by all the teams were not very rich.

With just the last bit of supplies in hand, it is a bit difficult to support to the top of the mountain, not to mention the need for supplies on the return trip.

All the teams faced a huge test, when they retreated directly, they had enough supplies in their hands, but if they continued to walk, they were likely to face the danger of starving to death or freezing to death on the road.

At that time, Coach Geng made a very difficult decision, using his experience of mountaineering many times, and led the team in a small circle, and really asked them to find a way.

The Globrama Peak is home to a cold plant that is not usually eaten, and is made up of wild animals that grow in the mountains and occasionally rummage in the snow.

Many locals don't know about this thing, but Coach Geng grew up here, when he was a child, his family was in a famine, he relied on this plant on the mountain to support the past, although I don't know if I can find it in this high-altitude place, but it can only be used as a last attempt, as long as I can find this thing, they will have a chance to successfully reach the top, and there is no need to worry about supplies.

I didn't think that their luck was good, and they really found this thing in the middle of the mountainside, but it was not certain whether there would be it on the road later, and their position at that time was a little out of the original path, and it was impossible to continue to the top of the mountain along the position at that time.

So the crowd just took some of this fruit where they were, and then moved on.

With this plant in hand, the team led by Coach Geng quickly surpassed some other mountaineering teams, and even the European team, which had been far ahead before, was quickly surpassed by them.

After all, all the teams carried similar supplies, and the delay of a few days by the heavy snow consumed too many people's supplies, resulting in a lot of teams, and in the end, there was no way to reach the top of the mountain, because the fear of insufficient supplies had knocked them down halfway.

In the end, the teams that succeeded in reaching the summit all gritted their teeth and climbed to the final summit with the determination to die.

Only the European team seems to be a little different, their supplies have always been very sufficient, and later I learned that this group of people made a deal with several other teams on the way, bought their share of supplies, and then those people returned the same way, and they took other people's provisions, and easily climbed to the top of the mountain.

After negotiating with other teams, the two teams reached an agreement to use the supplies of the two teams to integrate the itinerary, and under reasonable use, there can be a team to reach the top.

He has known this method for a long time, but he has always disliked using this method, and feels that it is an insult, and even a bit of cheating in exams.

Of course, the final result is still good, the mountaineering team on Jin'an's side successfully reached the highest peak, and was ahead of the European team for more than ten minutes in time, which is enough for him to be proud of for a lifetime.

But when they returned to the station at the foot of the mountain, the problems lurking in their bodies also leaked out.

After many of the team members returned to the camp, they began to have some very serious poisoning, at first vomiting, then fatigue, and even some team members had severe frostbite, but they were completely unaware of it.

After being sent to the hospital for examination, they learned that the cold plants they ate in the mountains were actually poisonous.

In small amounts, this toxin actually does not have a great impact on the body, or even very little, but only affects people's neural perception a little.

However, after they reached the summit and returned the same way, they had been eating this plant, which caused their neural perception to be gradually reduced, and even after frostbite appeared on their bodies, they didn't feel it at all.

It wasn't until they returned to the camp that their body temperature returned to normal and the effects of the toxin began to kick in.

Fortunately, they have returned to the camp, although the medical conditions are not enough, but they were sent to the hospital, and the rescue was very timely, which saved their lives, but this time the toxin damage also made these people unable to contact the sport of climbing in this life.

ruined his career, in fact, it's okay, at least he saved his life, and he also got enough honors, and it doesn't matter so much whether he is climbing mountains in the future.

At least after this climb, they gained far more than they lost.

Of the more than 30 members of the mountaineers that year, only two died of illness, and the rest were fine.

It can be inferred from this that the serial murder case that happened in Jin'an this time is actually not directly related to them.

After Meng Huan heard the whole incident, he finally gave up the doubts in his heart.

But the suspicion in Ding Fan's heart still exists, not because of anything else, but because of the knot on his hand.

Meng Huan may not have paid much attention to this detail, but Ding Fan heard it just now, but Coach Geng said it very clearly, this way of tying knots was something they attached great importance to when they were selected for the mountaineering team, and if there was a problem with the knot, it would be fatal.

So this knot is the top priority, when I was training, Coach Geng spent a lot of time, this kind of knot is rarely used, the first person to initiate the use of this knot is their team.

It's just that this way of knotting, although it is very practical, when knotting, not to mention, many people are reluctant to use it, and gradually no one is using this knot.

Obviously, not many people can use this kind of knot, but now this kind of knot has inexplicably appeared at the scene of death, and at the same time, there are still special ropes used by mountaineering teams many years ago.

What does that mean?

And among these people, there is another key, that is, among these victims, one Xue Xiang has been found, and Coach Geng remembers very clearly that this person had stayed in his training for a while.

Moreover, Xue Xiang once privately set up a mountaineering team, and finally climbed to the peak, I heard that the results were not bad.

But many years later, Xue Xiang died, so what did he experience on the mountain at the beginning?

Could the other victims also have something to do with this climb?

Thinking about it, I'm afraid that this matter will have to find the coach back then.

I just don't know if I can find this person, but Xue Xiang's team back then found a coach privately, and only the so-called coach knew about their itinerary.

And I have been planning the route with them all the time, so I should know that in the process of climbing, I don't know what happened, at least I can know how many members they had at that time!

Anyway, until now, Ding Fan didn't even know how many people Xue Xiang's team was in the beginning, could it be that these people who died this time were all people in their team at the beginning?

Ding Fan has always doubted this, but all along, he has no way to be sure.

And Coach Geng, after knowing Ding Fan's confusion, offered to help very much, and was willing to help use his relationship to help find the coach.

This can be regarded as a great favor to Ding Fan, and now it is definitely not a simple matter to find this person out.

After all, Xue Xiang's social relations have been investigated several times, and no one who meets these conditions has been found.

In other words, after that mountaineering that year, Xue Xiang probably didn't have any contact with this person.

It is even possible that he is deliberately hiding this person, and now that he can be found, it will definitely help Ding Fan a lot.
