After efforts to recover the damaged hard drive data, the police found that it was the bald Zhao San who ransacked Wang Fang's mushroom orchard. Zhao San defended himself and stole and escaped when his employer was killed, so that the police naturally linked him to the murder, and the absconding Zhao San was put on the wanted list.

The case took a turn for the better, Wen Shu followed the police to report the whole process of chasing the shop, and the original remote and quiet town also boiled under the spread of the incident.

After investigation, the police did not find Zhao San going out at each exit, there is only one passage to the outside of this village, and behind it is the deep mountains and dense forests, Zhao San estimated that he ran into the mountains.

The roads in the mountains are rugged and the trees are dense, and finding someone in the mountains is like looking for a needle in a haystack, even with police dogs, the search operation is not smooth.

With Sister Na's help to dredge up and Jinke's communication, Wen Shu went to the police station to track the development of the incident, Jinke and Gao Xiaotian were bored in the hotel, looking at the pictures remade by Wen Shu.

"This Liu brothers' photography is really rigid, every photo is the same movement, the same stiffness." Jin Ke looked at it and said to himself: "This is the start of the construction of a new research institute. The Liu brothers, with their shoulders on their shoulders and their pants pulled up to their knees, each holding a shovel in their other hand, symbolically began digging the foundation, and the excavator next to them was ready to start construction.

Jinke continued to flip through the photos, and the next one was the completion of the institute. The institute in the background has been erected, and the date shows a difference of two years.

The last photo is Liu Shengya digging mushrooms in the mountains, and not far from the background, there is a somewhat faint bald Zhao San. I could vaguely see that behind him was a small wooden house, with a paint bucket next to it, and scattered sawdust flowers could be seen on the ground, which should have been painted on a newly built wooden house, and was inadvertently caught in.

Jin Ke looked at it for a few seconds, and suddenly patted Gao Xiaotian next to him: "Zhao San may be here." ”

Gao Xiaotian, who was chatting happily, was startled, understood, and immediately came over, and was surprised: "This is all like this, can you see it?" ”

"That's why I asked you to make the photo clearer and see where this place is."

"Gotcha."

Gao Xiaotian put down his phone and immediately entered a state of excitement, and quickly used photo restoration software to make the photos clear. As the photo became clearer, the house in the background slowly appeared in front of the two of them. This is an all-wooden house, calculated from the proportion of Zhao San standing next to it, the height of the house is about three meters, the roof is sloped, and the only window is on the door.

Jin Ke leaned closer to the computer and pointed to a green dot on the wooden door: "This...... Make this place bigger. ”

With the calculation of the software, the image slowly became clear, and the black dot on the photo was a bunch of keys inserted in the wooden door, because there was a red rope on it, and the green beads tied to it were particularly eye-catching, and Jinke recognized it at a glance that it was the bead on Wang Fang's key.

"Can you find out the exact location of the cabin just by looking at the photos?" Jin Ke asked.

Gao Xiaotian looked stunned: "Others can't estimate it, but I can." You see. ”

With that, he began to type quickly on his laptop, then opened Google Maps, Baidu Maps, located the location of Liu Shenggen's research institute, and then zoomed in on the fallen vegetation on the ground. After the picture is clear, it is transmitted to the mobile phone, and an APP on the mobile phone is used to identify the plant to analyze what kind of plant the fallen leaves fall.

After receiving the preliminary screening, Gao Xiaotian once again eliminated the lines of the tree trunk in the background of the photo, and finally confirmed that the fallen leaves were the fallen leaves of the yellow fir tree. From the comparison of the thickness of the tree trunks in the photo and the growth of the trees over the years, Gao Xiaotian calculated the current height of these trees, and will analyze them together with this photo to roughly determine the angle at which they were taken, as well as the distance between the shooting location and the background.

After that, he clicked on the image on the map software to enlarge the screenshot, and used the software to take Liu Shenggen's research institute as the starting point of the circle, and draw a straight line with the approximate direction judged in the photo as the passing point. With this straight line as the median line, draw two rays from the center of the circle on both sides of the median line, forming an angle of 35 degrees between each line and the median line. Then draw two arcs with the research institute as the center of the circle, the larger radius is the farthest distance, and the smaller radius is the minimum distance, so that the four lines enclosed are the approximate range that needs to be checked.

Within this range, Gao Xiaotian tried his best to make the picture clear, and slowly looked for the few tall yellow cedar trees scattered around. Some of the trees are oddly shaped, with a slightly regular rectangle of black color. He roughly calculated that there were more than a dozen such trees in this range, and the position between each tree was about a few tens of meters. Gao Xiaotian tossed for a long time, recorded the coordinates and locations of the boundary trees in this area, and uploaded them to his mobile phone.

Jin Ke looked at Gao Xiaotian's three times and five divided by two, and smiled: "I didn't expect you kid to have two more." ”

Gao Xiaotian raised his chin: "Finally don't call me second sister-in-law?" ”

"If you like it, I can call it."

Gao Xiaotian shook his head wildly: "I don't like it, you better stop screaming." ”

Jin Ke stood up: "Let's go and see the situation first, and if it's true, send the coordinates to Wen Shu." ”

With that, he began to pack his tools, and finally pulled out a machete from the sandwich panel of the cabinet and took it up.

Gao Xiaotian was taken aback: "Brother, who are you?" ”

Jin Kebai glanced at him: "There are too many trees on the mountain, and we don't know the right way, so we can't cut a road?" ”

Gao Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them packed up and drove in the direction of the mountain.

Wen Shu was also watching the progress of the case at this time, and Zhao San's arrest was inconclusive, but Wang Fang's further autopsy report came out. The autopsy results showed that the cause of Wang Fang's death was the spread of cancer cells in the body, resulting in a cardiac hemangioma, resulting in heart infarction and failure. The old age of her face and posture was caused by malnutrition and metabolic disorders, and the two knives on her chest were formed after death, that is, she was stabbed twice after she died, judging from the incision and shape of the wound, this was not caused by the same murder weapon.

The results of this autopsy made the case more and more confusing.

It was past noon when Jin Ke and Gao Xiaotian arrived at the first coordinate location, and when they really stood in the mountains, the two of them found that the area to be searched was too large, and relying on the leg strength of the two of them alone, it was simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

Gao Xiaotian looked at the dense jungle, his scalp was numb, and proposed: "Brother, otherwise let's use drone aerial photography, reduce manpower, and get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Jin Ke was holding the machete and didn't know where to start, and when he heard this, he slapped his thigh: "Why didn't you say it earlier, if you don't take out such a good high-tech, you will waste time." ”

Gao Xiaotian looked helpless: "I don't think it's exciting to go into the forest in person." ”

Jin Ke looked at the fool's expression: "Yes, don't say anything, let's go back today, and come back tomorrow after taking the equipment." ”

As the car passed through the town, Jinke wanted to find a place to relieve himself, and when he looked up, he saw a new and decorated shop opening across the street.

"Last time I lived near here, I remember that this was still a Chinese medicine store, and I also bought wolfberry chrysanthemums here, why did I suddenly change to catering now?" Jin Ke looked at the new sign and muttered to himself.

Gao Xiaotian parked the car, glanced at it, and said, "Liu's fresh soup? This can't be Liu Shenggen's coil. ”

Jin Ke's eyes rolled: "Maybe it's really possible." Let's go, get out of the car and have a look. ”

As soon as I entered the store, a strong and familiar fragrance came to my nose.

Jinke greeted the waiter: "What is your signature dish here?" ”

A waiter pointed to the picture on the wall and said, "This is Liu's fresh soup." ”

Jinke flipped through the expensive menu: "What's in it?" ”

The waiter glanced at the car key that Gao Xiaotian put on the table, and said respectfully: "We put a lot of precious mushrooms in the soup. ”

Jin Ke smacked his lips: "480 yuan a cup, it's not cheap." ”

"You get what you pay for, our boss's surname is Liu, and he is the famous mushroom king Liu Shenggen in this area, and he uses real materials."

"Okay, let's have two cups first." Gao Xiaotian couldn't stand the fragrance, and his saliva almost came down.

When the soup was served, the two of them had just taken the first sip, and they were sure that it had the same taste as the matsutake mushroom and bamboo sunflower fish and mutton soup they drank at Wang Fang's house. But Liu Shenggen couldn't make this flavor before, why did Liu Shenggen make it as soon as Wang Fang died?

Early the next morning, Jin Ke and Gao Xiaotian brought the drone to the coordinate location. The drone slowly lifted into the air, slowly moving forward, and the mist in the mountains in the early morning reduced the visibility of the camera a lot, and even when they looked up at the drone, they could only distinguish the blurred light on the drone.

The two of them tried their best to walk on the trails that seemed to have been trodden, and those places that no one had really stepped on, so they let the drone fly up to shoot. After more than an hour of non-stop moving forward and shooting, they were already in the heart of the deep forest.

The two of them chose a slightly higher place to sit down and rest, and even at noon, the forest was still thick with fog. Jin Ke took a sip of the chrysanthemum tea he brought with him, and was just about to screw the bottle cap, when a faint cry for help suddenly came from his ears, he froze, and Gao Xiaotian, who was sitting on the side, was also stunned, and the two glanced at each other, this intermittent sound, in this dense forest with silence and fog, like a ghost crying wolf, giving people an inexplicable uneasiness and fear.

"Brother Jin, you heard me." Gao Xiaotian lowered his voice and leaned towards Jinke.

"Help......"

Jinke carefully identified the sound in four directions, and finally looked to the north: "The sound seems to be coming from this direction." You put the drone away first. ”

Gao Xiaotian hurriedly put away the plane: "Brother, do you want to go over and have a look now?" ”

"No hurry, wait." Jin Ke put away the water glass, picked up the machete, and faced the blurred woods in the fog in front of him, his intuition and experience told him not to respond rashly, to understand the situation, first identify whether the other party is friend or foe.

"Help......
