After everyone got off the bus, they started to climb up the mountain along the path.
It gets steeper and harder to walk.
Fortunately, the weather has cooled down, the grass on the roadside has begun to wither, and everyone is getting less mosquito bites.
After resting several times, we finally reached our destination.
The person who called the police felt like he had seen a savior when he saw them. He stood up from the ground and stumbled over: "You are finally here."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Did you call the police?"
The man nodded like a fool: "It's me, it's me, my name is Li Erwa."
Without waiting for Zhou Zhimo to ask, he poured the beans into the bamboo tube and said, "My home is in the village at the foot of the mountain. I'm here to herd sheep today."
“As I was walking, I saw bones in the grass.”
"I was also wondering why there were bones here. When I pulled it open, I saw a few more bones."
"At first I thought they were pig bones, but when I looked again, they weren't."
He stamped his foot: "Oh, the more I look at it, the more scared I am."
Li Erwa pointed to the grass not far away and said, "Go and see for yourselves."
He was still muttering: "There is not even a human figure in this barren mountain. I am leading a group of sheep here alone. When I see these things, I feel like ghosts are here."
His lively temperament relaxed the mood of a group of people who had been tired and nervous all the way.
When he showed up today, he didn't bring Su Ruyi with him, but instead called Xiaofeng.
Xiao Qin opened the grass and saw the bones. Xiaofeng also squatted down and started to clean them bit by bit.
Many bones were quickly placed on the blue cloth, and other colleagues spread out near the grass and continued to search.
Li Erwa stood next to Zhou Zhimo with her neck curled up, occasionally looking over.
After a long time, everyone came back one after another: "The search is over, it should be gone."
Xiaofeng has also placed the bones collected by everyone on the blue cloth according to their positions.
He told everyone: "I'm almost ready, everyone is waiting."
Xiaofeng doesn't work long hours and is on site less often. He doesn't have as much experience as Su Ruyi, and his speed is a little slower.
Zhou Zhimo comforted him: "Don't be in a hurry, just take your time."
Li Erwa craned her neck to look at Xiaofeng's work and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you scared when you play with those bones like this?"
"What if I turn into a ghost at night and come to see you?"
Xiaofeng didn't even raise his head, and continued busy with his hands: "When a person dies, there is nothing. There is no such thing as a ghost."
Li Erwa said mysteriously: "Don't believe it, there really is a ghost."
"I was scared out of my mind when I was a child. People in the village said that a goddess called me back later."
Seeing that he was serious, no one refuted him.
Some people believe in the theory of ghosts, but they cannot explain it and there is no need to defend it.
Moreover, discussing these things in this barren mountain and wilderness, I always feel that the wind today is chilly.
Xiaofeng finally finished arranging the skeleton. He stood up and said, "Let me take a look and find some fingers and toes."
"There are also incomplete ribs and the back molars are missing."
"The other big bones are enough."
He analyzed: "The bones in the finger area are too small, and it is possible that they were eaten by animals."
"There are obvious signs of animal bites on these skeletons."
He continued: "The deceased was a female, about 40 years old, and about 1.57 meters tall."
"The time of death is within half a month."
"At present, it appears that the cause of death may be a severe blow to the head."
"She was probably dismembered after death. The murderer separated the bones at the joints, so there were no big knife marks that hurt the bones."
Xiaofeng concluded: "At present, there are only so many."
Zhou Zhimo put his hands on his waist: "Okay, then pack it up and let's evacuate."
Li Erwa asked him: "You just left like this?"
Zhou Zhimo turned to look at him: "Yes. Let's leave after we're done."
Li Erwa cried with a face: "No, what should I do if you leave?"
Liang Yinuo was confused: "You are such a big man, you can go home by yourself, do you want us to carry you back?"
Li Erwa jumped anxiously: "I'm afraid if you leave."
Liang Yinuo touched his forehead and smiled helplessly: "Then you come down the mountain with us."
Li Erwa shouted anxiously: "No, my sheep are still on the mountain."
Only then did everyone remember that when they arrived just now, there were sheep grazing in twos and threes on the hillside farther away.
Everyone was busy and didn't pay attention to the sheep. When I looked at them now, they were all gone.
Zhou Zhimo had no choice but to call Xiao Qin and Liang Yinuo, a few skinny guys: "Follow me to help search and drive the sheep back."
Liang Yinuo looked at Li Erwa: "Let's go find the sheep."
Li Erwa nodded happily: "Okay, let's go."
After taking a few steps, Li Erwa started to whistle.
After a few minutes, the sheep came into view from above and down.
A group of sheep stood crowded together. The clouds parted and the sun shone down.
The golden sunshine shines on the snow-white sheep. In this barren mountain wilderness, the beauty is unreal.
Xiao Qin shouted in surprise: "Li Erwa, your sheep."
Li Erwa smiled and started to whistle again. The loud whistle echoed in the mountains.
Xiao Qin smiled: "Don't tell me, it's really beautiful, just like a scene in a movie."
As the whistle changed, the sheep rushed down quickly.
In an instant, they all moved in front of Li Erwa and stopped again.
Liang Yinuo patted Li Erwa on the shoulder: "Let's go, is it fun?"
Li Erwa turned around and smiled: "I'm really scared."
He suddenly grabbed a sheep, took off a piece of cloth from its head, and held it in his hand: "What is this?"
Xiao Qin looked at the thing in his hand: "This is a piece of clothing fabric."
Li Erwa shook her head and muttered: "This looks like Fang Juhua's clothes."
Xiao Qin suddenly thought of something and stretched out his hand: "Li Erwa, give me this."
Li Erwa grinned, showing her white teeth, and threw the cloth to him: "Here you go."
After saying that, he drove the sheep down the mountain, not forgetting to smile at Zhou Zhimo and say, "Thank you, police."
Xiao Qin looked at Li Erwa and Yangqun with great interest: "You said this kid is crazy, as if his brain is missing a string."
"But those sheep, in front of him, were as obedient as magic."
Zhou Zhimo looked at Li Erwa who was gradually walking away: "That's his specialty."
Liang Yinuo said disdainfully: "He's confused. Looking at him like that, it doesn't look like he's afraid. How can he be so good at pretending."
Zhou Zhimo said: "It is true that he is afraid, and it is true that he is not afraid now."
"Look at the way he lives his life, just like a child."
"Let's go, collect the team."
Xiao Qin suddenly remembered the piece of cloth just now: "Boss, look at this thing."
