Chapter Seventy-Four: Forest Patrol and Mountain Patrol

The forest farm is located on the front hill face of Chain Mountain. Although there are no thousand-year-old trees here, the lush trees make it seem to be full of life and prosperity.

According to Officer Cheng, Li Muyu and Qin Yao naturally found a forest farm located in Qianshan. On a hill in the woodlands, several dilapidated wooden houses stand side by side.

Walking towards that mountain pingzi, it is a mountain road, but it is not so difficult, along the way, Li Muyu is still thinking about what the driver said, in the past few days, people have begun to gather here, and he saw Zhou Long again, Li Muyu is not clear in his heart, what is wrong.

"Is anyone there?" Approaching the wooden house, Li Muyu knocked on the closed door of the first wooden house.

No one? Li Muyu found that he knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.

There are four wooden houses on the hill, side by side on the hill, and the doors are facing the sun, but the windows of the wooden houses are covered with a thick layer of newspaper, which seems to have no sunlight. Coupled with the dense forest farm behind the wooden houses, these small wooden houses are like the old forest behind them, revealing a burst of gloom.

Li Muyu knocked on the doors of the next three rooms one after another, but like the first one, there was no movement in the room at all. The occasional birdsong from the forest was the only sound here.

"I guess I'm going to patrol the mountains." Qin Yao reminded behind him.

Indeed, in front of the hut is a dirt road, and many footprints can be clearly seen on this dirt road. This proves that there is no one here, and from these footprints, both Li Muyu and Qin Yao have found some clues.

"Why are there so many people?" Li Muyu looked at the footprints on the ground and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"There are always people going into the mountains these days, so naturally there are so many people." An old, gloomy voice came out from behind the wooden house, answering Li Muyu's question.

Li Muyu subconsciously blocked Qin Yao and retreated. Staring warily at the wooden house in front of him.

From the back of the second wooden house, an old man with a gloomy face stared at Li Muyu in front of him, the old man was holding a sickle in his hand, which made Li Muyu subconsciously reach out and prepare to take out the dagger. Qin Yao also vigilantly put his hand on the holster on his waist.

"Police?" The old man saw Qin Yao's movements and asked.

Li Muyu nodded vigilantly. Seeing Li Muyu nodding, the old man stuck the sickle in his hand on the ground, turned around and ignored Li Muyu and Qin Yao.

The old man opened the door of the wooden house and walked into the wooden house, Li Muyu and Qin Yao glanced at each other and followed the old man in.

Walking into the wooden house, Li Muyu and Qin Yao, who were choked by a decadent aura, frowned. Although it was noon, the windows of the wooden house were covered with thick old newspapers, so the inside of the wooden house was dark except for the sun gate through which the wide open door entered. The old man lit a cigarette and sat down on the only bed in the hut and smoked.

Li Muyu was about to ask a question, when the old man took a puff of dry tobacco and said to the two, "What are you police doing here?" The forest is well managed, and there is no illegal logging. As he spoke, the old man's face showed a pang of helplessness.

From the old man's words, it could be heard that he didn't seem to welcome the arrival of Li Muyu and Qin Yao, but there was no way, Li Muyu explained to the old man hard: "We are investigating a missing case. I am police officer Li Muyu, and she is police officer Qin Yao. Saying that, Li Muyu pointed at Qin Yao.

"Disappearances? Hehe, such a big mountain field, it is common for people to disappear, when did you become so concerned? After hearing Li Muyu's introduction, the old man did not cooperate with Li Muyu and Qin Yao, but waved his hand impatiently and continued to smoke the cigarette in his mouth.

"We hope you will cooperate with the investigation. Because we are qualified to suspect you of being involved in the disappearance and to investigate you. Qin Yao saw the old man's attitude, and there was also a little unclear fire in his heart, and he said it.

"Hehe, the little girl is pressing me with this? Okay, cooperate with your investigation. My name is Lu Tan, the ranger here, in fact, you should have read some information about me. The old man pursed his lips and replied to Qin Yao.

Indeed, Li Muyu and Qin Yao had seen the information about the rangers and mountain rangers here at the town police station before. The ranger here is indeed called Lutan. Fifty-six years old this year, he served as a soldier in the Frontier Army in his early years, and later retired due to injury, and after retiring from the army, he was assigned to work in a steel smelter, and later the smelter went bankrupt, and Lu Tan became a forest ranger here. This stay in the mountains is more than ten years.

Lu Tan got married after retiring in his early years and had a wife, but later his wife committed suicide at home, and many people suspected that Lu Tan killed his wife at that time, because Lu Tan was not sad at all after his wife's death, and he didn't even have an explanation. But this is speculation after all, and no one can convict him.

This time they saw the ranger Lu Tan himself, and Li Muyu and Qin Yao were also a little guarded in their hearts.

"Hello, we are only investigating the disappearance, and we do not suspect that it has anything to do with you, but there are some related matters that we would like to ask you about the situation." Li Muyu saw Lu Tan's indifferent attitude, so he had to explain again with a smile.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, as soon as Li Muyu said this, Lu Tan couldn't say anything, so he had to nod and start smoking on the side.

"I don't know, who has been in the mountains lately? Also, did you know that some time ago, a woman of a young grade came here to look for someone in the mountains? Li Muyu saw that Lu Tan did not refuse to ask.

"Recently, there are a group of rich boys who have entered the mountains, and if I want to say that I know them, I don't know them. As for the girl you mentioned, I have some impressions that she came with Lao Cheng from the police station at that time, saying that a team of people were missing in the mountains and a reporter. But in this mountain, how can you still find the missing person? Lu Tan said and smiled.

Li Muyu knows that the girl in Lu Tan's mouth should be Li Xuefei, but what happened to this group of people who have recently entered the mountain? Could it be that they also received similar videos and were attracted to it?

"So in the past few days, have you seen the girl you said reappear?" Li Muyu asked again.

Lu Tan shook his head and said, "No, I have only seen some people entering the mountain in the past few days, and I have not had any contact. As for the girl you mentioned, I never saw it again. ”

It's normal that Lu Tan is a ranger and has no contact with people who enter the mountain, so where did the rangers here go?

"What about the rangers here?" Li Muyu remembered and suddenly asked Lu Tan.

Lu Tan suddenly showed some unnatural expressions, but then replied to Li Muyu: "The mountain rangers haven't come back yet, they are going to patrol the mountains." You wait here and ask for yourselves when the time comes. ”
