Chapter 15 15 I don’t know if this person has ever caught a corpse…

It was a sunny day on Friday, but it was cloudy on Saturday. Gray clouds covered the entire sky. Guan Xia was worried about whether it would rain when she went downstairs with her backpack.

Pang Le did not drive today. It was Shi Lu who got out of the driver's seat. Freed from the constraints of his suit, the serious man in a windbreaker showed a rare youthfulness.

Compared to Guan Xia's worries, Pang Le was quite happy. "The weather is good today. Even if it rains, it won't be heavy. We don't have to worry about getting tanned, and it won't affect our climbing. It's perfect."

Shi Lu took the heavy backpack from Guan Xia's hand, casually placed it in the trunk, and said with a smile, "That's right. I checked the weather forecast, and the drizzle will only last until the early morning. Tomorrow will be a nice day, just in time to enjoy the sunrise."

Guan Xia didn't eat much for breakfast, but after hearing these two sentences, she inexplicably felt that the buns she bought at the community gate that morning were a bit greasy.

After getting in the car, Guan Xia discovered that there was another person in the back seat. He looked about the same age as Shi Lu, but his face looked much uglier. He had big dark circles under his eyes and looked tired. It was unknown how many nights he had been up.

Guan Xia was a little worried after just two glances, worried that someone might die suddenly on the mountain trail halfway up the mountain.

Although Guan Xia's gaze stayed for a short time, the young man was keenly aware of it. He raised his head, revealing his handsome but too thin face, and smiled brightly. "You are Guan Xia, right? My name is Dong Yuncheng, a friend of Shi Guangbo."

Guan Xia reached out and shook his hand, "Hello."

Dong Yuncheng seemed much easier to deal with than Shi Lu. He said very understandingly, "Don't worry. Although I don't look very strong, I actually exercise more regularly than Shi Lu. The reason I look sleep-deprived is because I stayed up too many late nights. Even after sleeping for nine hours last night, I still haven't recovered."

Guan Xia really wanted to ask why the man dared to climb the mountain if he hadn't recovered yet, but in the end he just thought about it in his heart, didn't say anything, and just smiled awkwardly.

"Have you had breakfast?" Pang Le buckled his seatbelt and turned to ask Guan Xia, "Shi Lu brought some homemade cookies. Do you want to try some?"

Guan Xia immediately shook her head, "I ate it, I ate it, and I was very full."

Pang Le just asked this question, and when he saw Guan Xia refused, he didn't force her and just split it up with Dong Yuncheng.

Dong Yuncheng looked really hungry. He ate five or six biscuits, two bags of bread, three tea eggs and a carton of milk before he stopped taking things out of his pocket.

But he only paused for a few minutes, then quickly took out his laptop, put it on his lap, and started working with an expression so serious that it was almost ferocious.

Guan Xia was a little troubled at first by having to deal with social interactions, but now, seeing Dong Yuncheng like this, she was shocked but also secretly relieved. She happily took out her phone and watched TV series with peace of mind.

This was a sudden inspiration that came to her mind while she was sleeping last night.

The system was triggered three times by flaws about the murderer: one was the blood on the cuff, one was the voice, and one was simply the face. They were all very common, but somewhat hardcore flaws. Any ordinary person with a very good memory would probably find that they did not match the full name of the system at all.

Guan Xia couldn't help but wonder if the probability of the system being triggered would be higher if she, the host, absorbed some professional skills of a police officer.

Like many experienced detectives, he can easily tell from some details that something is wrong with some people in a large crowd.

Although this idea sounded a bit far-fetched, the more Guan Xia thought about it, the more likely it seemed. So after waking up in the middle of the night, he downloaded a lot of highly rated criminal investigation dramas. He even searched for textbooks for some criminal investigation courses at the Public Security University, intending to read them first to see if they would work, just in case they were useful.

So on the way to the meeting point, Shi Lu and Pang Le were chatting happily, Dong Yuncheng was busy and felt very accomplished, and Guan Xia was watching the drama with great pleasure. It was not until the car pulled into the parking lot and Pang Le called her that Guan Xia realized that her neck was a little stiff from watching it.

"What have you been looking at all the way? You didn't even hear me calling you." Pang Le called Guan Xia several times but there was no response, so he simply came over and opened the car door for her.

Guan Xia glanced at Pang Le's phone screen, which was still open, and said, "Mm, a criminal investigation drama."

Pang Le's expression suddenly became indescribable. "Why are you suddenly interested in crime dramas? Could it be that you were stimulated by what happened last time?"

"Probably," Guan Xia stuffed the lock screen of his phone into the inner pocket of his jacket, got out of the car and began to stretch his stiff neck. "Anyway, I don't have any inspiration for new comics right now, and I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well take a look."

"I think you've gotten addicted to being a caring citizen, haven't you?" Pang Le looked at Guan Xia suspiciously. "You've sent three people in within ten days. But I'm not the only one who feels very satisfied. It would be even more satisfying if I could hold down two more with my own hands."

Now it was Guan Xia who looked at Pang Le with some suspicion, "Don't do anything rash. Although you are good at fighting, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. I still like playing with you, but I don't want to go to the hospital to accompany you."

Pang Le sneered and slapped Guan Xia's shoulder hard. "That's what I want to tell you. Although you may have some talent, before you do anything, think about your own limitations. Those murderers are all psychopaths whose thinking logic is completely different from that of ordinary people. Just like the one before, wasn't it because you walked a few steps in front of him with a hiking pole that he felt you cheated him and wanted to kill you? I don't want to hear one day that someone stabbed you because you looked at them a few more times."

Guan Xia suddenly remembered the news he had read and shuddered, "Not that unlucky, right?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst, ancestor." Pang Le squeezed Guan Xia's shoulder with a little more strength, "But it's a different story when I'm by your side. Not only can you see, but you can also quietly tell me that you are fragile, but I am strong."

Guan Xia's newly-awakened worry immediately turned into silence. She was too lazy to speak and just rolled her eyes to express her attitude.

Pang Le laughed twice out of amusement.

Shi Lu and Dong Yuncheng took out the things they were going to take with them from the trunk, handed Guan Xia her backpack, looked at Pang Le and asked, "What are you guys talking about that makes you look so happy?"

Pang Le and Guan Xia exchanged a glance, then looked at Shi Lu and raised an eyebrow. "It's something a little exciting. I want to do it, but she won't allow it."

Shi Lu naturally didn't understand, but he didn't ask any further questions. He just smiled and said, "Then I'll accompany you?"

Pang Le was a little surprised, and the smile on his face became more obvious. "Okay, if there is a chance."

Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more interested in their conversation, Guan Xia stood aside, sorting out the things in her pocket that might be used during the climb, while looking around.

This is an undeveloped wild mountain, a small peak in the Cuiping Mountains that is not high in altitude and is not well-known. It doesn’t even have a name, but the vegetation is lush and looks verdant at a glance.

Because it has not been developed, there is naturally no parking lot. The place where they parked is a large and relatively flat open space. Although there are not many cars parked there, there are not a few either. There are even a few cars with thick dust on their bodies. No one knows how long they have been parked there.

Although Guan Xia is a homebody, he also likes mountains, rivers, flowers, plants and trees. Now, looking at the refreshing scenery, he feels happy but a little scared at the same time.

After all, the mountain doesn't look high, but the way to climb it is quite steep. Guan Xia even doubted whether she could make it to the top of the mountain.

Just when she was feeling a little nervous, suddenly a bright ray of sunlight shone on her face. Guan Xia raised her head and saw that the clouds had dispersed at some point and the golden sun was revealed.

"It's actually sunny now," Pang Le was pleasantly surprised. Then, he thought of something and took out the sunscreen from his backpack. Not only did he apply it on himself, he also carefully applied it on Guan Xia's face. "Did you bring sunscreen?"

"I've brought it." Guan Xia waited for Pang Le to finish applying the sunscreen for her, then took out the sunscreen and carried it with her.

"Oh, and sunglasses." Pang Le started rummaging through the bag again.

Guan Xia squinted at the sun and felt that it was indeed necessary to wear it, so she found it and put it on. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a person covered tightly coming out of the mountain and walking towards the parking lot.

Guan Xia was a little surprised, "There's another person coming to camp, he's really brave."

"He must be a fisherman." Dong Yuncheng stood beside Guan Xia at some point and also looked over there. "Shi Guangbo and I have been to this wild mountain before. There is a small river in the valley. I heard there are fish in it, but we have never fished there, so we don't know if it is true or not."

Guan Xia looked at the man's attire. He was wearing a large fisherman's hat, sunglasses, and his jacket was zipped up to his chin. He was indeed holding a bucket in his hand, which looked quite heavy, but she didn't know if there was any fish in it.

Looking at this person, Guan Xia suddenly remembered a saying he had heard before traveling through time. It was said that in addition to the police, the natural enemies of murderers were also fishermen and mountain climbers. These two types of people would often go into the more desolate and wild places. Many people had caught or encountered corpses. Some experienced fishermen would even continue fishing while waiting for the police to arrive. It was unknown whether this person had ever caught a corpse.

Guan Xia was curious for only a moment before looking away. Just then, two more cars arrived, and several people got out. Shi Lu checked his equipment again, then said, "Let's go. Now that everyone is here, we can set off."
