The gray-brown tree trunks, the pure white snow, and the sudden appearance of a touch of pink in the world where the two colors are harmonized, look dazzling and eerie.

Wei Xiaofeng couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly patted Wu Yun and Liu Yi beside him, and shouted in a small voice: "That pink figure is Bai Yunting's ghost, I see her again!" ”

"Don't make a noise." Wu Yun looked ahead and said intently, "I saw it too." ”

"Huh?" Wei Xiaofeng's eyes widened, and he cast his gaze on Wu Yun's face, and found that his gaze was staring directly at the depths of the dense forest, and it was difficult to hide the surprise in his eyes.

"She should be Bai Yunting, right?" Liu Yi's voice came from the other side of Xiao Feng's body, "I always say 'see ghosts and ghosts' on weekdays, but today I finally saw the real ghosts." ”

Wei Xiaofeng twisted his head to the other side, looked at Liu Yi, and asked incredulously, "Can you see it too?" ”

Liu Yi wanted to reach out and point, but considering whether there would be any bad consequences for using his finger to ghost casually, he gave up. He hung his chin instead, tried not to move his lips and said, "In that forest, the figure in pink clothes." Are you sure it's the ghost you saw last night? ”

"Judging by her figure, it should be, but she's always turned her back to us, and I'm not 100% sure." Wei Xiaofeng whispered, "But in this barren mountain and snow ridge, there shouldn't be anyone to pretend to be a ghost, right?" ”

"Even if she turns her head, you definitely won't be able to recognize whether it is Bai Yunting or not." Liu Yi complained, "You haven't seen what Bai Yunting looks like." ”

Wei Xiaofeng just wanted to refute, but when he thought that he was not wrong to say this, he could only admit it.

"So what do we do next?" Wu Yun also asked in a low voice.

Wei Xiaofeng froze and said, "Let's wait and see what happens, right?" ”

At this moment, they realized that the pink figure was walking towards the depths of the dense forest.

"Are we going to follow?" Liu Yi hurriedly asked.

"Follow!" Wei Xiaofeng said firmly, "Maybe she will take us to find the place where her body is buried." ”

The three of them agreed on the same page, then scrambled their poles and glided forward into the taiga. They kept a distance behind the pink figure. They were still afraid in their hearts, and they didn't know what the ghost in front of them was suspected of Bai Yunting's intentions, so they didn't dare to follow too closely, so as not to be surprised.

"Why are you able to see her?" Wei Xiaofeng, who was creeping slowly with the pink figure, whispered to Wu Yun and Liu Yi, who were parallel to her.

"I don't know." Wu Yun couldn't figure out the meaning of her question, "She just appeared there, and it was impossible for us to see it." ”

Liu Yi understood the meaning of Wei Xiaofeng's question. "What Xiao Feng wants to ask should be why we couldn't see this pink figure last night, but now we can see it."

"Isn't that easy?" Wu Yun said, "It must be Bai Yunting's ghost that has expanded the scope of her spiritual influence. Last night she only wanted to ask you for help alone, so it only affected you alone, and today seeing us come with you, she affected the brains of all three of us at the same time. ”

Liu Yi echoed: "Although I don't know exactly what the soul and spiritual power you are talking about, I still agree with Brother Yun's statement. After all, the possibility of someone pretending to be a ghost has been ruled out, and this is the only possibility left. ”

The three of them followed the pink figure as they zigzagged through the forest. The undulating terrain in the forest has a limited field of vision, but along the way they did not encounter any situations or conditions that would cause accidents to skiers, which further affirmed their inference that Bai Yunting was killed and buried nearby.

At this moment, they saw the pink figure standing under a cedar whose trunk was as thick as three people encircling it. Then, the pink figure turned to face them. But her face was gray, and her facial features were blurry enough to be seen. The three of them just wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but they found that the pink figure gradually disappeared......

"Bai Yunting, wait a minute!" Wei Xiaofeng hurriedly shouted, but the pink figure disappeared into the air, as if it had never appeared.

Liu Yi sighed lightly: "It seems that it can be determined that it is really a ghost, and it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air." ”

Wu Yun nodded, then pointed to the place where Bai Yunting's ghost disappeared, and said, "Bai Yunting's body should be buried under this tree, right?" ”

Not only is the trunk much thicker than the surrounding trees, but its canopy is also tall and dense when you look up.

Liu Yi looked up at the canopy, then looked down at the roots that were covered in the snow, snorted, and muttered, "It's strange......"

The words were very soft, but Wu Yun, who was not far from him, still heard it clearly.

"What's weird?" Wu Yun asked.

Liu Yi glanced at him and explained, "What is the purpose of killing people and hiding corpses?" In order to prevent others from being able to find the body, then the place where the body is hidden will definitely be chosen in a place that is not easy to attract the attention of others. But you see this tree, it's taller than all the other trees around it, and it's very conspicuous. Why did the killer choose to bury the body under this tree? ”

Wei Xiaofeng guessed: "Is it that the murderer is sure that others will definitely not find this place, so it doesn't matter where the body is hidden?" ”

Liu Yi shook his head. "If the murderer was the kind of person who was so cautious that he would carefully wipe the snow marks along the road, it would be impossible for him to be so casual in choosing the place to hide the body."

Wu Yun didn't express his opinion casually, but asked Liu Yi: "Then tell me what's going on?" ”

"The murderer buried the body in a relatively conspicuous place, and there should be only one purpose, that is, to be able to find it easily." Liu Yi smiled back at their somewhat surprised expressions and continued, "I mean the murderer himself. Because the murderer's plan a year ago was to fake Bai Yunting's death as a disappearance, in fact, he did deceive everyone, and no one thought about killing people and hiding corpses, so he could boldly choose a conspicuous place to throw the corpse, the purpose was to make it easier for him to find the place where the corpse was hidden in the future.

"Of course, there is another option, which is to take an inconspicuous place and mark it. However, the latter approach is more risky, because there are almost no people here, and if the rescuers who searched the mountain a year ago found his mark, they would definitely be surprised, maybe they would think that Bai Yunting left it when she was in distress, and then carry out a carpet search nearby, it is likely to find Bai Yunting's body. Therefore, it is more appropriate to bury the body in a place with conspicuous natural markings. After Liu Yi finished speaking, he patted the trunk of the big cedar hard.

"If the killer buried the body, why should he find it out after the fact?" Wei Xiaofeng asked puzzled.

"You don't understand this, do you?" Wu Yun said, "It should have been a stopgap measure for him to bury the body here a year ago, and there wasn't enough time for him to dispose of the body at that time, so he should be very aware that there might be clues on the body that are not in his favor." If the body is allowed to be buried here, it is inevitable that others will not be discovered for some reason over time, and then the fact that he is the murderer will not be made public? So he chose a relatively easy place to bury the body, in order to have the opportunity to come back and dispose of the body in the future, so as to be truly seamless. ”

Wei Xiaofeng gasped and exclaimed: "If the murderer is really Yang Guangcan, then he has been in Baifeng Ski Resort for the past few days, doesn't it mean that he may have come here to dig up the body again?" ”

Liu Yi looked at the snow under his feet and said, "No, the snow here is very flat, and there is no trace of being excavated and landfilled." ”

Wu Yun took over and said, "And Yang Guangcan only arrived at Baifeng Ski Resort yesterday evening, and I saw him on the blue road this morning, with his girlfriend, so he didn't have a chance to reprocess the body." ”

"Without further ado, let's hurry up and dig up, shall we? Otherwise, if the time drags on for a long time, Xiaoyu will think that we are all in distress and will alarm the rescue team. Liu Yi stretched his sleeves and began to squat down and use his hands to pick up the snow layer at the base of the tree roots.

Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng also worked together to dig the snow layer with their bare hands without saying a word.

"There it is!" Wei Xiaofeng shouted half in surprise and half in fear. The surprise was because she finally found Bai Yunting's body, and the fear was because this was the first time she had come into contact with a human corpse in her life.

Wu Yun and Liu Yi looked at it when they heard it, only to see that under the snow pit dug by Xiao Feng, a piece of pink clothing fabric was exposed. With the starting coordinates in hand, they continued to dig around the pink and into the depths.

Ten minutes later, all the snow covering Bai Yunting's body was cleared by them, and the body of the ice beauty that had been buried in the snow for a year was finally rediscovered.

The body was well preserved and neatly dressed. The only thing that was exposed was her cheeks and neck. Although there is no vitality and blood, Bai Yunting's appearance before her death can still be seen from her face, her complexion is fair, her facial features are delicate, and although they are not shocking, they have a special charm. This body is more like a perfect ice sculpture, the only fly in the ointment is that a green plastic hemp rope is wrapped around the slender white jade neck, and there is a shocking strangulation mark under it.

Liu Yi carefully pulled open the hemp rope wrapped around Bai Yunting's neck and observed the strangulation marks. "It was strangled to death. At that time, the murderer was supposed to be wearing gloves, so it is estimated that no fingerprints could be found on the rope used as the murder weapon. ”

"Then how do we prove that Yang Guangcan killed her a year ago?" Wei Xiaofeng asked with some frustration.

"It is clear that the murderer strangled her from behind, so as to avoid leaving traces on her body as much as possible that would prove himself. But......" Liu Yi lifted Bai Yunting's upper body, stretched out her hat and looked inside, "There may be something in the cap on her back that has inadvertently fallen from the murderer, such as ......" Liu Yi took out something from it and displayed it in front of Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng, "A hair!" ”
