Chapter 66 Let's go to the mountains and forests to conduct an investigation.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Not long after, Jiang Feiyan walked out quickly.
To make it easier to go to the mountains, she changed her red dress into pants.
He wore a white shirt, black casual pants, and army green shoes, looking very energetic.
But when Jiang Feiyan saw Jiang Xun's attire, she felt a little embarrassed.
What a coincidence that the two of them were wearing matching outfits today!
Today, Dr. Jiang was not wearing a white coat, but instead a white shirt and black trousers.
In this way, he lost some of his aloofness and asceticism, and gained more of his youthful leisure.
Compared to Shen Zhao, who was in a police uniform and looked to be about the same age, she appeared much younger.
When Jiang Xun saw her attire, his dark eyes flickered slightly, and the curve of his lips widened.
"Your courtyard is quite nice," Jiang Xun said with a light cough.
He actually wanted to say that the outfit was nice, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.
Otherwise... it would seem a bit improper.
Jiang Feiyan smiled, a hint of smugness in her eyes, and said:
"Of course! I put a lot of effort into making this little courtyard, so it has to be excellent!"
Upon hearing this, a fleeting look of surprise flashed across Shen Zhao's eyes.
He was a little surprised when he learned from the village chief that the girl lived alone at the foot of the mountain.
It's almost 2 kilometers from the village at the foot of the mountain, about a 20-minute walk.
It's not very safe to be in the middle of nowhere, but I didn't expect the other party to be completely unafraid and even have the leisure to manage a small courtyard.
I must say, this little courtyard is really well done.
This girl is very skillful.
......
Soon, the three of them, along with a small yellow dog, set off for the mountains.
On the way, Shen Zhao took the initiative to speak: "Yesterday when I returned to the bureau, I asked about the interrogation of Wu Qi."
According to Wu himself, he saw the deceased's body yesterday morning.
For some reason, he suddenly became agitated and ran out.
As for the murder, he kept insisting he was innocent and refused to admit it.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan nodded and said, "Wu Qi and I are friends. He has a very gentle personality, and I don't really believe he would kill someone."
Shen Zhao glanced at her: "Yes, the bureau will investigate this situation further. If he is truly innocent, he will be released."
Jiang Feiyan: "I hope your police comrades can find out the truth as soon as possible."
Jiang Xun listened quietly to their conversation, his gaze occasionally sweeping around.
Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he stopped and turned to Jiang Feiyan, saying:
"You mentioned yesterday that there's a lot of yellow clay in the mountains. Do you think it's like the kind in the open area ahead?"
“It seems so.” Jiang Feiyan quickly took two steps forward, squatted down, picked up some soil with her finger, and looked up, saying, “The color of this soil is exactly the same as the one under the fingernail of the deceased yesterday.”
“That’s right.” Shen Zhao stepped forward to take a look and then said:
"Yesterday, before Dr. Jiang and I left the village, we looked around. The soil in the village is generally black, and it seems that only the mountains and forests have this kind of yellow soil."
"In that case, it's very likely that the crime scene was in the mountains." Jiang Feiyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"My little yellow dog has a very sensitive nose. There should still be some of the deceased's belongings in the former educated youth compound. Why don't we go back..."

Meanwhile, in the educated youth compound.
"Wu Xia, what's wrong with you? You cooked porridge so early in the morning and didn't even wash the pot!"
Huang Yi stood in the yard with her hands on her hips, looking aggressive, and started shouting again.
Wu Xia paused while washing clothes: "I've already washed them!"
"Is that what you call washing?" Huang Yi rolled her eyes. "You didn't even scrape the porridge off the bottom of the pot, and the edges of the pot are covered in stubble. How dare you!"
“That pot was always like that.” Wu Xia wiped her hands and replied irritably, “I’m in a bad mood today, so don’t yell at me like that.”
Her good friend Chen Hong died yesterday, and she still hasn't recovered and has no energy to do anything.
"Hey, I'm going to..." Huang Yi was about to roll up her sleeves and explode when her cousin Huang Ru pulled her back:
"Sis, let's just forget about it. It's better to avoid trouble. Let's hurry up and make breakfast, or we'll be late for work."
Huang Yi gave her a disapproving look and said, "What's wrong with you these past two days? You've been so listless, like a wilted eggplant. You're usually the one who loves to argue with people."
Huang Ru's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, saying, "I'm just feeling a little unwell..."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yi immediately asked with concern, "If you're not feeling well, I'll ask the village chief to give you half a day off."
"No!" Huang Ru immediately looked up and refused.
Chen Hong just died yesterday. She didn't want to be alone in the educated youth compound; it was too creepy.
The thought of what she did that night made her very conflicted; she wondered whether she should tell her cousin.
But if we told her, given my cousin's upright nature, she might be arrested and interrogated like Wu Qi.
She didn't want to go to the police station; having worked there before would ruin her reputation.
"Sister, I'm going to start the fire. Hurry up and cook." Huang Ru said as she went into the kitchen.
......
When Jiang Feiyan and her two companions arrived, they happened to run into the people from the educated youth compound who were on their way to work.
Upon hearing that they needed to use one of the deceased Chen Hong's belongings, Wu Xia immediately went to her room and brought out a blue gauze scarf.
She said with a hint of sadness, "This scarf is Ah Hong's favorite to wear around her neck. She carries it with her almost every day. You can take it; hopefully it will be helpful for the investigation."
“Okay.” Jiang Feiyan accepted it.
Just as the group was about to leave, Hu Fang, a male educated youth wearing black-rimmed glasses, spoke up:
"Captain Chen, when will Wu Qi be back? How is he?"
Shen Zhao glanced at him: "The investigation is still ongoing, and we cannot disclose the progress to outsiders."
"Oh, okay." Hu Fang scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. "I was just worried about him and asked out of curiosity. You guys get back to work."
"Mm." Shen Zhao nodded, and then the group left.
"That's strange." Huang Yi frowned in confusion and muttered to herself:
"Didn't Chen Hong die in the dry toilet in our educated youth compound? Why is Team Leader Shen going outside to investigate?"
Hearing this, Hu Fang, who was about to leave, paused slightly.
"Xiao Fang, what are you standing there for?" Another male educated youth, Wang Gao, stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "Hurry up and go!"
"Okay." Hu Fang forced a smile, but his large hand unconsciously tightened its grip.

In the mountains and forests.
After smelling the gauze of the deceased Chen Hong, he received instructions from Jiang Feiyan.
Xiao Huang seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline.
As soon as they entered the forest, they started running forward at full speed, shouting all the while.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Feiyan and the other two quickly ran after them.
Shen Zhao originally thought he was a former special forces soldier and was a fast runner.
Unexpectedly, the refined Dr. Jiang was just as impressive, almost on par with him.
To his greatest surprise, the seemingly frail Jiang Feiyan was also following closely behind.
Shen Zhao: ......
Losing to two people without professional training seems a bit embarrassing.
However... Shen Zhao looked down at his knees.
If he hadn't had a gunshot wound to his knee that couldn't be fully healed, he might have been able to run even faster.
...cough...this damn competitive spirit.
After running for about 30 minutes...
Xiao Huang finally stopped in a secluded open space.
"Woof woof woof!" This is it! It smells like that blue scarf!
Hearing its cries, Jiang Feiyan and the other two immediately rushed over...
