The town belongs to a mountainous and plain junction area, the town belongs to the plain area, the south of the town also belongs to the plain area, but the large area of the town belongs to the mountain area, and there are nearly 100 large and small mountains. There are not only many herbs but also a lot of wild animals on the mountain, but because the population of the town has increased rapidly in recent years, the resources on the mountain have gradually decreased. Even some undeveloped hillsides are used by the villagers as grave hills.

The small village that Qin Tai came to was called Shangwang Village, which was in the northernmost part of the town of Zailai. This is a real mountain area, surrounded by heavy mountains and forests, not to mention that it is not too convenient to travel. As early as a few years ago, the village was organized to prepare to dig a road running from north to south. It's a pity that because of the strange things that happened, no one dared to open the way anymore, and this thing that benefited the country and the people and made a great contribution to future generations stopped like this.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao were originally going to go out of the village separately and arrive at the scene of the crime separately, and they could pay more attention on the way. What does the exhibition novel not agree to act separately, you must go with Qin Tai. No matter what Qin Tai said, it was useless, which made Qin Tai very depressed. In the past few days, Qin Tai always felt that he didn't say anything about small things, and deliberately monitored himself, so that he didn't have to contact outsiders alone. Every time he wanted to say something, Zhan Xiaoxiao could always find a reason to fight back against him one step earlier. Qin Tai has an illusion that he doesn't know why, as if Zhan Xiaoxiao is not a man, but a middle-aged woman, by the way, just like his mother. An old woman who cares more about himself than his mother, and nags more. However, he didn't dare to say it, and fortunately he didn't say it, otherwise Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't know how to deal with Qin Tai. Any woman, especially a young woman, likes to listen to other people's sweet words, and no one likes to hear others say that they are old, not good-looking, or anything. There is an old saying that says, "It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain." It means that the gentleman is generous, even if he is really offended, it is a big deal to do it openly, most gentlemen don't care too much about some things, they are all smiling and hating. But the villain is different, if you offend them, even if they don't have the strength to fight back at the time, they will write down the grievances and find an opportunity to retaliate against you in the future. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but the villain will not wait for ten years, they may take revenge immediately, or they may not have a chance to retaliate in their lifetime, but they will remember this account for generations, and the longer they remember, the heavier it will be when they pay it back in the future. But offending a woman will be more serious than offending a villain, no, offending a group of villains. A certain great god summed up a passage: "It is better to shoot a gentleman than to say a villain; It is better to be beaten by a gentleman than to owe a penny to the villain; It is better to glare at a villain than to glance at a woman; It is better to be remembered by the villain for a lifetime than to let the beauty hold a grudge for a while. "Women are the most grudgeful animals, not one of them, the absolute first.

In fact, Zhan Xiaoxiao has a combination of many factors to make such a decision. First of all, she was afraid that Qin Tai would be in danger of acting alone, the people here were unfamiliar, and there were so many murders, how could Qin Tai, a weak scholar, act alone? Second, after the Xiaoyue Village case, after Zhan Xiaoxiao had already determined the fact that she liked Qin Tai, she regarded Qin Tai as her private property, and if she could, she would really tie Qin Tai to her side and pay attention to Qin Tai all the time. Don't let any young woman or girl have any chance to get close to Qin Tai, let alone give Qin Tai a chance to see a woman alone. There is any woman who wants to approach or seduc. If Qin Tai bewitches her, unless she dies, that woman will only have one way to die; Third, women are women after all. In addition to jealousy and suspicion, they will also be afraid. Before the Xiaoyue Village case happened, Zhan Xiaoxiao really thought that he was bold enough, thinking that he would not be afraid of anything. But when she saw the face of the girl in the donkey's skin, she really felt scared like never before. Zhan Xiaoxiao has to admit that she is a real woman, not only will she be afraid, but she will also be more emotional. For this reason, she really didn't dare to go to the scene of the crime alone, but she didn't dare to say it in front of everyone. So after she came out, she didn't agree to be separated from Qin Tai, and she must go to the scene of the crime with Qin Tai.

It is said to be the scene of the crime, but in fact it is just a small hill that few people have passed. More than a year has passed since the case, and the deceased has long been buried in a different place. As for whether the deceased can be buried in the ground, and whether he can die a hundred times, no one knows. This small hillside has a name called White Fox Ridge, and legend has it that it was originally sparsely populated here, and there were more animals than people. There is only one family on the entire mountain, and this family is also self-sufficient and rarely goes up to the mountain to hunt. Even if it's rare to want to hunt some game, it's just a small animal that hunts a hare or something. There are three members of the family, a middle-aged couple and a teenager. One day, the young man and his mother went down the mountain to visit relatives, but they didn't expect to go away like this and never come back. The father waited for a long time to get back the children and his wife, so he went to pick them up. The bodies of the child and his wife, who were already incomplete, were accidentally found near the White Fox Ridge, and it turned out that the child and his mother encountered a large beast while descending the mountain. Neither mother nor son escaped the pursuit of the beast, and when the father saw the corpse, he was already miserable. Faced with the tragic death of his loved one, my father couldn't bear it anymore. He returned home in a fit of rage, took his hunting tools and went up the mountain. After a whole month, the large animals on the White Fox Ridge fell into bad luck, and almost all of them were killed by this angry father. When the angry father was about to kill the last little fox, the father would cry when he saw the little fox for the first time. A newly-born little fox is pure white, like a cute little snowball. Its parents were also dead, but not by an angry father, but by a beast killed by his father. Originally, the father didn't want to keep the little fox, but when he saw the little fox with tears in his eyes, it was not only cute but also like his child. The father suddenly understood something, dropped the weapon in his hand, and picked up the little fox. Since then, he has not been hunting an animal, and the little fox has become his only relative. The clever little fox knew that this human had taken his own revenge for killing his father and mother, so he obediently lay in this man's arms and went down the mountain with his father. Many years later, one person and one fox have become a unique scenery here. The old father knew that he would die soon, so he ruthlessly drove away the white fox. After driving away the white fox, the old father dug a grave for himself, and lay down peacefully in the grave by himself. When the white fox returned with a white fox smaller than himself, the white fox could not find its relatives. With his sensitive nose, the white fox finally found his old father's grave. The white fox dug a small hole next to the old father's grave, and after howling by the old father's side for three days and three nights, the exhausted white fox fell into the small hole dug and accompanied the old father. Soon after, there were a lot of white foxes in this place, they were the descendants of this white fox, they were guarding the graves of their fathers and great benefactors, and everyone called this place White Fox Ridge. With the settlement of humans in the mountainous areas, there are fewer and fewer white foxes here, and not a single white fox has been seen for more than a decade.

It was not easy for Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao to find out that this was the scene of the crime. Originally, Qin Tai wanted to see the bones of the corpse first and then investigate the scene, but it was not easy to dig a dead man's grave. Without the consent of the deceased's family and the local Lizheng, Qin Tai could not dig the grave at will, otherwise the impact would be great. So Qin Tai had no choice but to go to the scene first, and then find a way to see the corpse after Xiao Lingzi called Li Zheng here.

Shangwang Village is not far from the White Fox Ridge, and the White Fox Ridge just blocks Shangwang Village. If Baihuling is not there, Shangwang Village is only half a day's journey away from coming to the town. But because of this White Fox Ridge, there is no easy road on the ridge, and every time the villagers go to the town and come back to the town, there is only a detour or over the White Fox Ridge. If you take a detour to Shangwang Village, you have to walk for two days to get to the town, although the road is easier to walk, but the road is too far; But if you cross the White Fox Ridge, it is not only dangerous but also troublesome, and it will take nearly a day and a half. For the sake of the future of the villagers, and in order to connect the north and south, several nearby villages discussed with Zailai Town to dig a road that can be used for horse-drawn carriages in the Baihuling area. With everyone's support and response, everyone contributed money and work to dig the road.

The murder occurred when the road was about to be dug and a foreman came to the construction site early to prepare an estimate of the progress of the project and arrange the work for the next few days. Unexpectedly, when he came to the construction site, he saw that things were not good, he seemed to see a white fox. At that time, it was not yet dawn, and even the foreman could not be sure whether he saw a white fox or a white rabbit, or nothing, but he was dazzled. But what is certain is that there was a dead body lying on the construction site. There were people dead on the construction site, and the death was terrifying, some people said that it was the white fox who appeared, and they didn't want anyone to disturb them, and some people said that it was the "Nine Sons and Ghost Mother" who did it. As a result, no one dared to come here again, and the project had to be stopped indefinitely. Even the foremen and sponsors did not dare to mention the matter of opening the way, which became a taboo in the local area.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao came to Baihuling very easily, because the road from the village entrance to Baihuling has almost been repaired, not only easy to walk but also paved with gravel, as long as a layer of loess and sand is poured on it.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao have a certain amount of experience in cooperation, and after Zhan Xiaoxiao arrived at Baihuling, he took out a piece of white cloth and drew the scene on the white cloth with charcoal. Qin Tai walked around casually as if he had nothing to do. It seems that Qin Tai is wandering, but in fact, Qin Tai draws and restores the murder scene according to the terrain and what he knows. This is one of Qin Tai's great skills, restoring the murder scene and the murder process, so as to find and find clues, and find clues and evidence to solve the case. This is not Qin Tai's natural ability, but the ability cultivated by years of experience and training.
