Chapter 313 Burying people
Illuminates nearby terrain.
Because of the noise and pollution caused by the factory construction, there are no residents nearby, and the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds, many of which are waist-high.
Because of this, the nearby roads are blocked and almost invisible.
Lin Ting stretched and got out of the car.
Ping An and Fat Tiger, who were woken up, also stretched and followed Lin Ting obediently, but their ears and tails were erected high, and their animal eyes looked around, like little guards, to detect any danger nearby.
Even the silver ring snake wrapped around her arm, after coming into contact with the unfamiliar environment, poked its little head out from her sleeve and cautiously explored the surroundings.
Lan Xue naturally walked to Lin Ting's side and protected Lin Ting by her side.
Si Chen and his companions were leading the way in front, while others were responsible for pressing the road behind them.
Wherever they walked, they scared away a flock of sleeping blackbirds.
Si Chen walked forward while looking at the navigation. After all, it had been a long time and they were not very familiar with the road.
After passing through a long path covered with vegetation, they finally arrived at the factory. Si Chen glanced at his companions, and even without Si Chen's instructions, they each walked towards the backyard of the factory.
Lin Ting, Lan Xue and Si Chen stood where they were.
Lin Ting patted Ping'an's head and said, "Help me find a local Aboriginal person."
No one knows more than the native animals of this area.
People can guard against people, but they may not be able to guard against those elusive small animals. Even if the other party has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, or even knows that she can communicate with small animals, she may not be able to guard against all small animals.
The little animals are pure and cannot lie.
Si Chen and Lan Xue held up flashlights to check for traces left near the factory.
It was clean and tidy, and didn't look like anyone had been there.
Lan Xue asked doubtfully, "Are we in the wrong place?"
"It's possible. Let's search carefully. Once we're sure there are no clues, we can move to another factory."
"Tingting, follow us closely." Si Chen glanced at Lin Ting who was following behind them.
Lin Ting nodded in response.
She casually placed the silver ring snake wrapped around her arm on the grass and let the silver ring snake disappear into the lawn.
She was not looking for clues like everyone else, but was keeping an eye out for a walnut tree near the factory.
No clues were found, and the animal that was released came back safely first, with a squirrel following it.
The squirrel was pushed back two steps and clasped his hands together in grievance.
Woo
"The rat is a squirrel, not a mouse, and rats are not tasty. Just let it go. As long as you let it go, it can take you to find mice nearby. It knows there are many mouse holes nearby."
Seeing Ping An was unmoved, Squirrel continued to increase the stakes.
"The mouse has hidden a lot of walnuts. I can give you half of them."
"I'll give them all to you. I'll give you all the walnuts. Rat meat really doesn't taste good."
After hearing the little squirrel's thoughts, Lin Ting immediately frowned, "Are there a lot of walnuts around here?"
The little squirrel was just begging for mercy. After hearing the sound, the little squirrel looked up and found that there were so many humans.
"It would be fine if I just came across a dead cat, but why are there so many people here?"
"The rat is just pretending to be dead."
The little squirrel thought about it and suddenly fell straight to the ground.
Lin Ting walked over quickly and squatted on the ground, looking at the little squirrel pretending to be dead. She poked the little squirrel's head with her finger and said, "Don't pretend. I know you're not dead. The kitten is just a little fierce. I didn't mean to come here with any ill intentions. I just want to ask you something."
"Don't worry, your inquiries won't be in vain. I have some delicious pastries for you as a reward, and I'll let you go. I won't hurt you at all."
After Lin Ting finished talking, he took out a half-eaten water chestnut cake from his pocket and shook it twice in front of the little squirrel's nose.
Before leaving the police station, Lin Ting saw that there were still two uneaten pastries in the box, so she simply wrapped them in paper and put them in her cross-body bag.
"It smells so good, I really want to eat it."
"Maybe there's something in the cake, or maybe the mouse opened its eyes and was caught."
"I don't want to eat it. I'm not greedy at all. I don't like the taste of cakes at all."
Hearing the little squirrel's inner voice, Lin Ting forced herself not to laugh. She placed the cake next to the little squirrel without moving, "Don't worry, I always keep my word."
"There's nothing in the pastry, and I won't take you away. I don't want to keep a squirrel at the moment, and I don't have a habit of eating squirrels."
"As long as you answer a few questions, these cakes are yours and you can leave at any time."
"If I don't keep my word, you can ask the police to arrest me." Lin Ting's tempting voice sounded again in the little squirrel's ears.
The little squirrel slowly opened one eye.
Woo
'Really? '
"Really." Lin Ting nodded seriously. In order not to scare the little squirrel, Lin Ting also deliberately moved Ping'an aside.
Ping An did not complain or feel unhappy. Instead, he sat obediently aside and watched.
"If kind-hearted humans want to ask the rat anything, the rat will definitely tell you everything it knows."
Lin Ting didn't directly ask questions related to the disappearance. "How long have you lived here?"
"For a long, long time, the mouse has been living in the nearby woods since it was born. The mother mouse said that it has never moved, unlike other squirrels that moved from other places."
"Do you know if there's a large walnut tree next to a dilapidated house like this nearby? Also, besides us, have there been any other humans around recently?"
The others looked at the little squirrel nervously, waiting for its answer.
'A big walnut tree?'
'The rat remembered.'
"Not far from that shabby house, there's a huge walnut tree. It's thicker than a pretty human's waist. My grandmother told me that the walnut tree has been there since their ancestors, and it produces a lot of fruit every year. My grandmother and her family used to steal the fruit. Later, when no one lived in the shabby house, the walnut tree produced fewer fruits than before, but it was enough for the rats to eat."
"My grandmother took the rat to steal walnuts a few days ago."
'When I was stealing walnuts, I met two humans other than you, a man and a woman. The man was very tall, with a scar on his face, and looked a bit ferocious. The woman was lying on the ground, motionless, and there was a strong smell of blood on her body.
No matter what the bad man did, the woman didn't move, and there was a very cold feeling on her body, like an ice cube in winter. The mouse was curious and wanted to go over to take a look, but was stopped by the grandmother. The grandmother said that the man was very dangerous. The grandmother also said that the woman lying on the ground was dead.
Grandma also warned the rat not to meddle in other people's business and just watch from a distance.
The rat saw the tall man digging a hole in the ground, pushing the woman in, and then burying her with soil.
