Chapter 199: The Body Is Missing
readx; Aunt Xiang smiled noncommittally, didn't dwell on this issue, and diverted the topic: "I'm telling you this just to let you know that there are no trustworthy people around your mother in this prospecting." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Because of this, Madame arranged for her precious daughter to be included in the prospecting team......"
What the? Yu's mother's daughter, isn't she her own sister Yu? She's going to go to the mine too?
Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Aunt Xiang sighed softly and said, "In addition to Madame's daughter, Miss Yun, Madame's niece, Miss Lin, also has to go down to the mine, and Director Qin is there." What I'm talking about are the closest people to your mother, and they are all weak women, think about it, even they have to go to the mine to take risks, are you idle as a son? Can I help you share the burden with your mother?
As soon as Aunt Xiang said this, Ning Xiaofan had no choice but to hurry up and said, "Aunt Xiang, I didn't say that I wanted to be idle, even if it wasn't for Yu's mother, as a member of the company, it was my duty." ”
"Well, of course it's best if you have this idea, this time you go to the mine, you and Director Qin are in a team, and you should know the relationship between Director Qin and your mother, so I don't care about the rest of the team, but Director Qin's safety is in your hands, you must protect her."
"No problem"
Ning Xiaofan agreed without thinking about it, even if Aunt Xiang didn't remind him, as far as he was concerned, he couldn't let Sister Yulan, who had a skin-to-skin relationship with him, be hurt by half a point.
"What's more, after going to the mine, although the route of each team is different, according to the mine road that has been explored so far, the team going down the mine is likely to meet in the grotto, and at that time, maybe you can meet Miss Yun and Miss Lin, and when the time comes, you should try to take care of it."
"Well, I know, oh, by the way, Miss Yun, I haven't seen her, is she here?"
Aunt Xiang's eyes flickered, and the corners of her lips hooked up a playful smile: "She hasn't arrived yet, but it's soon, she should be here by helicopter to deliver supplies tomorrow afternoon, and when she arrives, I will take a time to arrange for you to meet this Sister Yu......"
Ning Xiaofan listened, and was a little curious about this Sister Yu, but she was looking forward to meeting her.
At this time, Qin Yulan, who had gone out after answering the phone earlier, returned to this lounge, she still had a file bag in her hand, but her expression looked a little solemn.
Aunt Xiang noticed that Qin Yulan's expression was wrong, and after she sat down, she asked, "Director Qin, you don't have a good complexion, what's the matter?"
Qin Yulan sighed and said, "Something happened, Da Li's body is gone." ”
When Aunt Xiang and Ning Xiaofan heard this, they chuckled in their hearts and couldn't help but look at each other.
Da Li, one of the local employees hired by the leprechaun, stumbled and fell off the cliff while climbing the Cloud Terrace. His position at that time was at least more than 200 meters above the ground, and he would definitely not survive if he fell.
At that time, the Cloud Mist Terrace was likely to collapse at any time, so in order to avoid danger, he did not immediately go to the bottom of the cliff to find the body, but notified the next team to gather Da Li's body when they arrived at the Cloud Mist Terrace. Counting the time, a team arrived today, but I didn't think that Da Li's body was gone.
The so-called life is good to see people, death is to see corpses, how can Da Li's body disappear out of thin air.
Aunt Xiang hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" It's only been two days, how could Da Li's body be missing? Didn't you find anything at the scene? Wouldn't it have been dragged away by the beast? ”
"There were some discoveries on the scene, oh, I have a picture ...... here." Qin Yulan said, opened the file bag, and took out a few photos from it: "Aunt Xiang, Xiaofan, look at it, these photos were taken at the scene." ”
There were five photos in total, and after Aunt Xiang took one and looked at it, she handed it to Ning Xiaofan casually.
Ning Xiaofan glanced at it, the photo showed a pool of blood, you don't need to guess to know that it is Da Li's, looking at the location shown on the ground, it should be at the bottom of that cliff, and there is nothing surprising about it.
Ning Xiaofan put the photo he had seen on the coffee table, and when he waited for the photo below, he saw Aunt Xiang look at the photo in her hand horizontally and vertically for a while, and then handed the photo to him with a strange look.
Ning Xiaofan stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it at a glance, and couldn't help but let out a soft "huh".
The photo shows a pair of footprints with large footprints and bifurcated toes
Ning Xiaofan is no stranger to these footprints, he had seen them behind camphor trees and by streams near the temporary station of the albino animal area, and he had taken pictures of them with his mobile phone at the time.
At this time, Qin Yulan heard Ning Xiaofan's soft "huh" sound, and couldn't help but look at him with questions: "Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?" What do you see in this picture? ”
Ning Xiaofan hesitated slightly and said, "I have seen these footprints before. ”
"Have you seen that? Where did you see it? Qin Yulan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"I saw it at the temporary station of the albino animal sanctuary......" Ning Xiaofan said, turned his eyes to Aunt Xiang and said, "Aunt Xiang, you should remember, I once said that something shook a little, at that time, I also went to the neighborhood to check it." ”
"Remember, you went to check behind a big tree, and then you went to the stream, and when I went to ask you, you said that you seemed to be dazzled, and I replied to you at the time, saying that you were nervous, um. When I was camping that night, the thing reappeared, and you showed me the footprints you had taken......"
Aunt Xiang has a good memory, not only can she remember the conversation between the two at that time very clearly, but she also remembers the fact that she looked at the footprint photos together that night. Of course, Aunt Xiang inevitably didn't want to think about the embarrassment of the two of them wrapped in a quilt that night, and after saying this, there was a delicate blush on her pretty face.
Ning Xiaofan noticed the blush on Aunt Xiang's face, and also thought of the embarrassment that night, and felt embarrassed.
Qin Yulan didn't notice the expressions of the two, and said with a puzzled look in her eyes: "What are you talking about?" What shook? ”
"Well, Aunt Xiang said I saw a brown shadow." Ning Xiaofan replied.
Qin Yulan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Brown shadow? That's right, there's a photo of hair left over from the scene, I think it's brown. Xiaofan, take a look at the photo first, see if the hair in the photo is the same color as the brown shadow you found? ”
Aunt Xiang heard what she said, flipped through the remaining photos in her hand, took out one from it, and said, "It's this one, it's hair, Xiaofan, take a look." ”
Ning Xiaofan took the photo and glanced at it, nodded and said, "That's right, it's this color." ”
As he spoke, Ning Xiaofan took out a small notebook from his trouser pocket, opened the notebook, and there was a small plastic bag in it.
Ning Xiaofan picked up the small plastic bag with the hair and said, "This is the hair I got, you can compare ......"
"I'll take a look first........." Qin Yulan reached out and took the plastic bag, and after taking a few closer looks, she handed it to Aunt Xiang, and said with a surprised face: "That's right, it's the same as the hair in the photo, Xiaofan, where did you get these hairs?" ”
"Don't worry, I also take photos of footprints here, I'll talk about ......it after you finish reading the photos" Ning Xiaofan smiled, then took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, pulled out the photo from the photo area of the mobile phone, and then handed it to Qin Yulan.
One of these hairs and footprints was the hair he pulled from the black shadow's arm after the fight with the black shadow that night, and he secretly saved it afterwards, and the other was taken by the stream. After this evidence was preserved, he never made it public, just because he didn't want to cause unnecessary panic in the team.
After Qin Yulan looked at the footprint photos taken by her mobile phone, she couldn't help but say with disgust: "I didn't expect you to hide so many things, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Ning Xiaofan smiled bitterly: "Didn't I have time, besides, the monster's whereabouts are uncertain, just the hair and footprints can't explain anything?" It's better not to talk about this kind of shadowless thing, if you hadn't taken out these photos today, I would have planned to hide it. ”
"Monsters? You say this thing is a monster? What kind of monster could it be? ”
"Xiao Fan, tell Director Qin about your fight with monsters," Aunt Xiang said.
"Ah, you're still fighting monsters?" Qin Yulan was surprised.
Ning Xiaofan didn't want Qin Yulan to worry, but Aunt Xiang opened her mouth and had to tell Qin Yulan about the scene of meeting monsters and fighting monsters that night.
After hearing this, Qin Yulan spat out with some trepidation: "It turns out that you still encounter this kind of thing, Xiao Fan, you have fought with monsters, so you haven't seen what that monster looks like?" ”
Ning Xiaofan shook his head: "It was too dark that night, and I could only see a dark shadow, but ...... I feel like that thing is a little wise, like a legendary savage."
"Savages, you say?" Qin Yulan looked incredible. Aunt Xiang is better, although she feels that the "wild man" is too legendary, she is somewhat psychologically prepared.
"Well, I'm guessing too." At this time, even Ning Xiaofan felt a little ridiculous.
The legend of a savage in Shennongjia has a long history, almost all ages know, but no one has really seen it, even if there are footprints and hairs, it can't prove anything.
Take hair as an example, there are also many experts who have identified it and come to two conclusions, one is certain, either the hair of a brown bear or the hair of a golden snub-nosed monkey. The other conclusion is more vague, saying that it is primate hair.
Primates: orangutans, golden monkeys, macaques, and all apes can be called primates, so are the legendary savages also classified as primates? This kind of uncertain conclusion, explained in a scientific manner, is vague but not very wrong.
With this premise, after Ning Xiaofan suspected that the monster was a savage, Aunt Xiang and Qin Yulan were a little silent, after all, this kind of thing of chasing wind and shadows is not good to express opinions casually.
