() After the police learned about Liu Wei from Ao Changshou's mouth, he walked over and asked, "What did you find?"

Liu Wei said with certainty: "Consistent with your inference, it belongs to the beast to commit the crime?"

"Do you see what kind of beast it is?" asked the policeman.

Liu Wei shook his head thoughtfully, "I haven't found footprints yet, I can't be sure for the time being, but I found a very interesting place!"

"Tell me about it!" The police crouched down.

Liu Wei pointed to the traces in front of him, "From here on, the traces of the roe deer being dragged are getting shallower and shallower. ”

Reaching out and inserting it into the snow, Liu Wei showed it to the police and the audience in the live broadcast room, "The thickness of the snow has not changed, so it can be inferred that the weight of the roe deer has been reduced!"

The police nodded, he felt that Liu Wei's analysis was reasonable, the weight of the roe deer reduced its pressure on the snow, and the traces naturally left would become shallow.

Liu Wei followed his own reasoning to dig through the snow around his body and found the roe deer's fur, bloodstains, and some minced meat.

"And so it was!" Liu Wei nodded and said, "After the beast bit the roe deer to death in the pasture, it did not choose to eat it immediately, but dragged it to a place a few hundred meters away from the pasture and began to devour it, the purpose of which was to prevent humans from discovering it. ”

"What kind of beast, crooked, so smart!"

"Ah Wei, solve the case quickly, I want to know the truth!"

"The effect of this episode of the show exploded!"

The audience was discussing fiercely, Liu Wei frowned, he didn't think that it was the innate intelligence of the beast, but he was worried about the acquired practice.

According to Meng Deren's description, he has lost roe defer several times this year, and in the three days from the day before yesterday to today, there were two consecutive cases of roe deer loss.

Apparently the beast has become very skilled at catching roe deer from pastures, and it is likely that it has used Meng Deren's pastures as its hunting grounds.

Meng Deren's own analysis is half correct, wild beasts will not actively approach humans, let alone risk stealing human livestock, except for foxes and other cunning small mammals, but they are not capable of catching prey the size of roe deer.

An important message can be drawn from this, that large carnivores living in primeval forests are starting to act on human livestock due to a lack of food.

Food shortages can be caused by seasonal changes or human activities.

On the way, Liu Wei observed that the surrounding area was surrounded by pastures of local residents, and some even cut off the links of the primeval forest, resulting in the distribution of forests in patches, such an environment had a huge impact on the large predators living in the forest.

Liu Wei was thinking.

"Come and see, there are footprints here!"

The police who walked to the edge of the deep forest informed.

Liu Wei came back to his senses and ran up.

The footprints left in the snow are not very noticeable, and the outline can be roughly seen, with gaps in the toes and the soles of the feet, typical of feline soles.

Liu Wei squatted down and pinched it with his fingers, "The length is about six centimeters, it should be a big cat moving around!"

When it comes to cats, the police immediately think of the Siberian tiger, in the past two years, the border between China and Russia has taken pictures of wild Siberian tigers, tigers have a wide range of activities, Siberian tigers are the largest subspecies in the tiger subfamily, and the range of activities is more extensive.

"It could be a Siberian tiger!" The police guessed.

Meng Deren listened, his body was shocked, he was very afraid of tigers, although he was the descendant of the best hunting people of the Oroqen tribe, but he had not engaged in hunting, he had followed the older generation to engage in breeding since he was a child, but he had heard some stories of ancestral hunting.

"Don't scare me, comrade policeman, I've lived here for more than ten years, and I haven't seen a tiger!" Meng Deren said nervously, he was already thinking about whether to move?

Liu Wei said with certainty: "It's not a Siberian tiger, the feet of the Siberian tiger are wider than this, and the footprints left by the weight of an adult Siberian tiger should not be so shallow, and I just got out of the broken fence, and it is not easy for the Siberian tiger to get in and out." ”

"What's that?" Meng Deren asked.

Liu Wei relied on the analysis of the knowledge of felines in his mind and guessed: "It may be a leopard!"

"Leopard?"

The police wondered, "It can't be a leopard, there are very few leopards in the Northeast, and it was many years ago!"

Liu Wei is reminded of the Far Eastern leopard, a subspecies of leopard living in the Russian Far East and Northeast China.

However, there is basically no news of its activities in the country.

In the past 20 years, according to the statistics of the World Endangered Animals Rescue Center, the number of Far Eastern leopards has not exceeded 100, and has remained at about 40 or 50.

Basically partly in the Far East, near the coast, no traces of it have been found in the three northeastern provinces of China.

Liu Wei had a strong premonition, but there was no actual evidence to prove his premonition.

He searched the snow at the edge of the forest again, walked more than ten meters and stopped, and there was a snow field in front of him that was very different from the surrounding one.

It was evident that something had been gouged up, and the snow around it was flat, and it was a lot more protruding.

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to put it away, and he saw something interesting.

"Come and have a look!" Liu Wei said back to Meng Deren.

The police followed.

"This ...... What's going on?" Meng Deren said.

When the snowdrift was finished, the corpse of a roe deer that had been entrailed and half of its body was revealed.

"Huh~, it's disgusting!"

"It's all frozen!"

"The murderer is too cruel!"

"Did you find the body?"

The audience is like watching a detective movie.

Liu Wei analyzed: "The beast is very smart, burying the uneaten roe deer meat in the snow, it knows that the current temperature can ensure that the corpse does not decay, and when it is hungry, it will definitely return to eat again."

In this way, it saves a lot of effort and does not need to drag the body back to the cave, and this way of storing food once again confirms that it is not a tiger.

According to the character of the tiger, either eat the prey directly, and throw it in place to rot and become food for other animals, or kill the prey and put it in the same place, and go back to call their children to eat together, and the tiger does not have the habit of carrying food for a long distance.

Moreover, other animals do not dare to touch the tiger's food easily, even if they can steal a few bites from chickens and dogs, they will take the initiative to leave after seeing the tiger.

On the contrary, leopards have the habit of storing food, brothers, remember the leopard we met in Shennongjia? It carries the uneaten food up the tree and enjoys it slowly.

To sum up, I am even more convinced that it could be a leopard, and it is very likely that it is a Far Eastern leopard that is almost extinct in China!"

The two policemen glanced at each other, and of course they knew the value of the Far Eastern Leopard.

"Are you sure?" asked Liu Wei.

"Don't you know when you see it?"

Liu Wei began to rebury the carcass of the roe deer.

Meng Deren stopped: "What are you doing? I will carry the rest back, even if I eat it myself, I will lose less!"

Liu Wei asked: "Do you still want to find out the murderer? If you don't know the murderer, you still have to lose the roe deer in your pasture!"
