Chapter 496: Strange Disappearance (Part II)

"I'm sorry, I told the old man two weeks ago that I was going to take a month off. For more exciting visits, I'm on vacation right now. I snorted, "I'm busy, don't bother me during the holidays." ”

Lin Zhiyan pursed her lips, "I'm playing a big name again." I'm sorry, but the person who approved your leave is now missing. ”

"You say the old man is missing? How can it be! "I was slightly surprised.

"It's true, I haven't been able to contact him for three days. Normally, he should contact me once or twice a day. Lin Zhiyan's beautiful face was not worried at all.

"Not accepted. The old man's cockroach is still strong, so it's probably no big problem. I shook my head.

"What if there's a problem?" She asked me with her head tilted.

"Impossible." I'm going to get to the bottom of it.

"What if?"

“…… Cut. I was speechless, and stretched out my palms to her with a little worry, "Forget it, show me the information of the case he investigated." ”

"Hey, here you go." Lin Zhiyan suddenly smiled sweetly, and immediately took out a stack of data from her backpack. This woman, it seems, is ready for a long time, just waiting to calculate me.

After slowly reading the information, I raised my head and looked into her eyes without blinking, and after a long time, I said, "Book me a ticket to Lingshan City, tonight." ”

Interesting, it looks like an old man investigates things that my vacation is more interesting. Hey, it doesn't look like it's going to get boring!

At ten o'clock in the evening, he and Lin Zhiyan took a plane. I closed my eyes and analyzed the information in the data.

A lot of strange things have happened in Lingshan City in the past three weeks. First of all, many people claim to have seen the 'Xiong family', and even said that they have been attacked by it. Most of this nonsense can be skipped, but it is true that there have been several bizarre homicides in Lingshan City.

The deceased, without exception, were brutally torn apart by a powerful murderer with some sharp murder weapon. According to the forensic autopsy, the murder weapon resembled the claws of a bear.

There is not the slightest connection between the victims, and I am afraid that it is another serial perverted homicide.

Citizens in the neighborhood were terrified by the murderer, who had not yet been found, and often went home early and closed the door tightly. There are also far fewer people on the evening tour.

There are also some strange things that happen in Lingshan on the outskirts of the city. Someone called the police to say that they had heard a strange voice that looked like a bear roaring and a woman's whisper in Ling Mountain. It is suspected that there are bears in Lingshan.

But this is even more nonsense, even more ridiculous nonsense.

As we all know, there are only seven species of bears in the world. And in our country there are even less, only 3 kinds.

The most widespread bear family is the brown bear, which is found in much of Eurasia and North America, but not in large numbers. There is a certain difference in the body shape and habits of brown bears in different places, the largest Alaskan brown bear can weigh up to 600~800 kg, while the small brown bear weighs less than 100 kg. Alaskan brown bears used to be treated as a separate species in the past due to their large size.

Some brown bears in the western part of our country are also somewhat different in color and size from other brown bears, and they are listed as horse bears, and the only bears that can resemble Alaskan brown bears are the Arctic, living near the Arctic Ocean, with strong swimming ability, and can stay away from the coast with the sea ice. Polar bears mainly eat seals and are the most carnivorous bears. Polar bears and brown bears are the only bears that have crossed state ranges, while four other bear species are found in Asia, one in North America and one in South America. These bears are smaller than polar bears and most brown bears, and with the exception of giant pandas, they are all mainly black, and several bears endemic to Asia have crescent-shaped white spots on their chests.

Another bears with a more specific feeding habit in Asia are the sloth bears in South Asia, which feed mainly on insects.

The Malayan bear in Southeast Asia is the smallest bear, with a thin body, a skilled tree climber, a penchant for insects and fruits, and a hunt for small animals such as birds and rodents. Asiatic black bears are typically omnivorous bears, with plants each making up a large portion of their food, but occasionally killing larger animals.

Asiatic black bears are the most common bears in our country, but they are still a rare species.

Due to the progress of human beings, the habitat of bears has been compressed into very small deep mountains, and it is difficult to see them in China's distribution area. What's more, Lingshan, a place that has never been recorded in historical records, or where fossil records once had bears.

Moreover, there have been no recent reports of bears being lost in zoos and circuses.

It seems likely that the local citizens are suffering from a panic disorder caused by a serial killer. However, the information that Lin Zhiyan gave me was a week ago, and I am afraid that there has been new progress recently.

I opened my eyes and whispered to Lin Zhiyan, "Is there any new information recently?" ”

"Yes, of course, and it's a lot of fun." Lin Zhiyan, a childlike old woman, replied with a smile: "Not only have bears often roared in Lingshan recently, but wolves have gathered in the depths of the forest. ”

I frowned, "Is there really a bear there?" ”

"Not at all. At least the police dispatched a lot of police forces to search the mountain, but they couldn't find it. Originally, some citizens thought that the incident of five young men and women killed by unknown creatures on the slopes of Lingshan Mountain on December 27, two weeks ago, was the work of a trumped-up bear. However, after forensic identification, the lacerations on their bodies were exactly the same as those serial murders in the city, and it was basically concluded that they were committed by the same murder weapon. ”

"What else? What's the matter with the wolves accumulating? I continued to ask.

"It's the wild wolves in the mountains that have gathered in the deep mountains, and now there are more than two hundred of them, and it is estimated that the wolves in the entire Lingshan Mountain are running like that place. What's so strange about that, though? She shrugged.

"Of course it's weird." I glared at her, "Although wolves are extremely social species. However, the average number of wolves in the country is between 5 and 12, although the maximum number can be about 40 in the cold of winter, but more than 100 wolves are rare in the habits of wolves in China. ”

"Moreover, the country was once one of the countries with the largest wolf population. However, in recent years, population surveys of Hulunbuir steppe wolves in Inner Mongolia, which have the largest wolf population, show that the number of wolves in the local area does not exceed 2,000. At present, the most wolf-producing areas are still in the northwest, Inner Mongolia, northeast and parts of Xinjiang. However, due to the serious destruction of habitats and a large number of man-made hunting for a long time, the distribution area of wolves in China has been greatly reduced, from the national distribution in the past, to now only distributed in the north of 30 degrees north latitude, basically in the block distribution, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been basically extinct. Even in the northern wooded areas and grasslands, wolves are only occasionally seen. With Lingshan so close to the city, wolves are almost an endangered species, and now they have gathered more than 300 in just a few weeks, do you think this is strange? ”

I held my chin in thought, and finally smiled wryly. It's too unconscionable. Unless there is some kind of change in Lingshan, which makes the wolf feel the danger and thinks that only by gathering together can he survive. Responsibility for this phenomenon is simply difficult to explain.

"What is Lingshan City's reaction to this matter?" I asked.

"A lot of experts have the same reaction as you. Others are even alarmist, saying that the reason for this phenomenon may be caused by the movement of the earth's crust. In the near future, there may be natural disasters similar to earthquakes near Lingshan City. However, ordinary citizens did not panic too much, and some even wanted to make an appointment to go deep into the mountains to see the wolves. Lin Zhiyan replied.

"Forget it, throw these things aside." I had a headache and said, "Tell me first, what is the old man investigating?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, he's always mysterious." She held her chin and thought for a long time, "But in my opinion, it is very likely to be related to the Xiong family's mother-in-law." ”

"Mother-in-law Xiong?" I was so surprised that I almost screamed.

"Yes, it's the Xiong family's mother-in-law." This child-faced old woman's face is rarely serious: "Do you know what Xiong's mother-in-law is?" ”

"Nonsense, of course I know." I frowned and looked out the window, "As long as it is Xishu, everyone knows this name." If the memory is not wrong, the earliest book that records the Xiong family's mother-in-law should be counted as the "Guangyu Chuxin Zhi" written by Huang Chengzeng. There is a story called "The Legend of the Tiger Lady" mentioned in it. ”

"Oh, you know? Isn't that the case? Lin Zhiyan handed me a piece of data, while printing an ancient story.

Living in the mountains, there are many tigers, and those who are old and stubborn may harm others. There is a mountain, so his daughter brought a basket of dates and asked his grandmother.

My grandmother's house went to Liulisuo, and her childish brother followed, more than ten years old, and both went there.

Sunset was confused, and when I met a woman, I asked Ruo'an? He said that he would go to his grandmother's house. I said, "I am the same." The second son of the second son remembers his mother's words, and the mother has seven sunspots, and the mother-in-law is not the same. Yes. The chaff is covered in the dust, and I will bathe it.

Then he went to the side of the stream to pick up snails seven, Fu Yu noodles. Go and say that the two children see the sunspots? Believe it, and do it.

From the black forest through the narrow path into the room, to a room like a hole. It is said that the dove of the public chooses the wood, does not build a hall, and now temporarily lives here, and the two children come unexpectedly, and the old man is too slow.

Straw evening. The meal has been, the sleep of life, I said that the two sons are fat, and the fat one is pillow with me and caress me. Brother said Yu Fei. Then the pillow and sleep, the woman sleeps in the foot, and the woman feels that her body has hair, what is it? It is said that the male sheep Qiu is also, the weather is cold, and the clothes are sleeping. In the middle of the night, when I heard the sound of food, why did the woman say? It is said that eating preserved jujubes is also, the night is cold and eternal, and there is no old age and hunger. The girl is also hungry.

With a jujube, it is cold and people also refer to it. The woman was shocked and went to the toilet. It is said that there are many tigers in the deep mountains, and they are afraid of being clawed, so be careful not to get up. The woman said that the woman tied her feet with a big rope, and if she was in a hurry, she would be dragged back.
