800: Xiao Niannian analyzes the case.
After eating lunch and resting for a while, they continued their journey.
“The deep mountains of Heilongjiang Province are truly different.”
“When we used to go training in the mountains, even in winter, we rarely saw snow. Now, training in the mountains of Heilongjiang Province, we would genuinely get lost without a guide.”
“It feels like all these mountains look similar; it's impossible to tell them apart.”
“Although we've learned how to determine direction, in this vast expanse of white, if you were alone in the mountains, it would indeed be very difficult to distinguish...”
The Yangcheng Special Forces Members discussed as they walked, carefully observing their surroundings.
“I caught a rabbit.”
“There's a nest of Wild Chicken here.”
Some Team Members discovered prey and were extremely happy.
“Take them, take them. When we return, we'll send them to the mess hall for an extra meal.”
Shen Yan observed his surroundings as he walked. He recognized some medicinal herbs and thought about picking some if he found any in the mountains.
Sister Xiao loves picking medicinal herbs the most.
Xiao Niannian's gaze also swept across the surroundings.
There is ginseng in these mountains; if they find some, picking it would be great!
As for the prey in the mountains, if they encountered any, they would catch them and take them back for an extra meal.
“Ah.”
Someone shouted loudly.
Hearing the shout, Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian's expressions turned serious.
“What happened?”
Lu Jing asked into the walkie-talkie.
“Reporting, Captain Lu, someone is dead.”
“Someone is dead.”
“Reporting, Captain Lu, there is a corpse.”
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing, gripping their walkie-talkies, ran toward the source of the sound.
The other small captains and political instructors were also shocked when they heard the news.
A few minutes later, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing arrived at the scene.
They saw a pile of dry grass on the ground containing two people whose faces were blue, clearly indicating they had been dead for several days.
Military Doctor Shen squatted down first and examined them carefully.
“Preliminary examination confirms they have been dead for more than three days... They have gunshot wounds... one was shot in the back of the head...”
“The other one was shot twice in the chest and died from excessive blood loss...”
Xiao Niannian noticed that both individuals were wearing thick cotton coats and hats, and their shoes were leather—clothing that ordinary citizens would not typically possess.
“Have you checked the surroundings? Are there any clues?”
Hearing Captain Lu's question, He Rui spoke up.
“Reporting, Captain Lu, we found some items about ten meters away: a notebook, a backpack, and some dry rations and a knife...”
Hearing this, Lu Jing walked toward that area.
Xiao Niannian also looked around the vicinity.
“Have you stepped over here?”
Xiao Niannian pointed at some marks on the ground.
“Reporting, Captain Xiao, we have not stepped here.”
Xiao Niannian carefully examined the marks on the ground and said.
“The footprints here belong to a ten-person squad. The shoe sizes are forty, forty, and forty-two... Their height is above 175 centimeters, and their weight is around 150 jin...”
Many people were surprised by Captain Xiao's statement.
“Captain Xiao, you can deduce so much information just by looking at these?”
Hearing his wife speak, Lu Jing said.
“I believe everything Captain Xiao says... She previously helped the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau investigate cases, and her analyses were always correct...”
Hearing Captain Lu's words, the Team Members looked at Xiao Niannian with even greater admiration.
To think she could deduce information like these people's heights just from footprints.
Standing not far away, Shen Yan was also full of admiration. Sister Xiao hadn't taught this yet, but she would definitely teach them these skills in the coming days.
It will be even better once they learn these things.
Lu Jing looked at his wife. She had told him about this before and planned to write it down. She had already written most of it, and it would eventually become a course for the Special Forces Brigade... The Ministry of Public Security was also consulting his wife about this course.
Xiao Niannian also smelled alcohol and a scorched odor, though the smell was very faint.
“I smell alcohol and a scorched odor...”
Xiao Niannian looked at the nearby leaves and branches, and sure enough, she saw signs of burning not far away.
“They wanted to burn this place down, but the fire went out...”
Instructor Qin stepped forward to inspect the area.
“Looking at these traces, they have already left this place...”
Xiao Niannian frowned.
These people had guns, and they were a ten-person squad. In these deep mountains, just a bit further ahead is the border line! Could it be the Mao Xiong people crossing the border again?
“It's been more than three days, and we haven't found them these past few days. They should have already gone to the County Government...”
“Or, they came here for some mission or with a certain intention, and have now left this place and crossed the border line...”
Qiao Yan analyzed the situation.
Hearing this, Lu Jing said.
“There are several possibilities. I will go report this matter now.”
Lu Jing went aside and contacted Captain Chen and the others using the radio.
“Reporting, Chief, we found two people killed in a mountain area about forty li from the border line, coordinates...”
Captain Chen immediately looked at Captain Niu after hearing Lu Jing's voice on the radio.
“Old Niu, call the Division Headquarters over there...”
Captain Niu nodded gravely after hearing Captain Chen's words.
“Alright, I'll tell them now, and I'll also call the Public Security comrades here to inform them...”
Captain Niu and Political Commissar Ma immediately made calls.
In the mountains.
He Rui and Hong Wang also discovered other clues and reported them.
“Captain Lu, Captain Xiao, we found packaging they discarded after eating—it's canned food, USA canned food, and liquor with foreign writing...”
Soon, the Team Members brought the items over.
“Pack these items up and wait for the comrades handling this matter to arrive...”
Lu Jing instructed.
“Yes.”
Qiao Yan frowned, looking at the people on the ground.
He walked toward Lu Jing and said.
“Old Lu, last time you came here, you encountered the Mao Xiong people. Do you think these are their people this time?”
Hearing his words, Lu Jing looked at Qiao Yan.
“We won't know until we investigate. It has snowed these past few days, so finding their tracks won't be easy, and they left here at least three days ago...”
Qiao Yan looked at Xiao Niannian, feeling that her abilities had once again changed his perspective.
Xiao Niannian could analyze so much information from such simple evidence. Who exactly taught Xiao Niannian?
Among the Public Security comrades he knew, there were talents in this field, but they had graduated from the Public Security University, studied these subjects for several years, and followed masters investigating cases for years before they could speak so proficiently.
