Chapter 325: Deceptive Means
The three of them squatted down and carefully examined the fallen grass. Suddenly, they felt that Xiaobai's judgment ability was beyond their imagination.
Children who grew up in the mountains are really better at understanding the conditions in the mountains than the people they train with regularly.
He could tell the specific situation from a fallen blade of grass, and they felt inferior to him in this ability.
We checked again and again, and the footprints indeed disappeared at the edge of the cliff.
If you didn't know the desperate couple's background very well, you might think they jumped off a cliff.
Do they have that ability? It's not like they're afraid of kung fu movies.
Lu Jingheng stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, but found nothing. He suddenly felt incredible. He stood with his wife, frowning and thinking.
At this time, he knew very well that no matter what he said, it would be redundant.
The person was followed and lost, and so many people still couldn't find out the reason. I feel ashamed no matter how I think about it.
Zhang Yong and Bai Han came back after checking for the Nth time and sat down at Bai Yangfan's feet. "Xiaobai! How do you think this person disappeared? I've racked my brains and can't figure it out. How could he disappear at the edge of the cliff? Did he jump off?"
"It shouldn't be possible. We didn't force him to do anything, so why would he jump off the cliff? Aren't they afraid of death? But if he didn't jump, where would he go?"
Bai Yangfan glanced at everyone calmly, turned back, and asked everyone to sit together, saying in a steady tone: "I think that person must be at the bottom of the cliff. As for how he got down, we have to look for clues carefully.
Since there are no ropes or stone steps on the cliff edge, this person's method of descending is very strange. Did you find anything special during your search? For example, did you see any clinging objects, vines, small ropes, etc. on the ground?
"No."
Except for Bai Yangfan, everyone answered in unison with two words that made people despair.
"No?" Bai Yangfan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stood up. "Let's go back the same way we came."
Zhang Yong also got up and followed Bai Yangfan: "Going back? Xiaobai! Did you find something?"
Not to be outdone, Bai Han immediately asked, "Xiaobai! What are you going back for? To relocate your footprints?"
Fei Wen couldn't stand the two of them: "Can you please stop asking so many questions and just follow Xiao Bai's lead. She needs time to think, so we just need to follow her orders."
Xu Keshan and Lu Jingheng walked together. "Xiaobai must have realized something she missed, otherwise she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to return. Boss! What do you think of her behavior? Do you think she needs to return?"
Lu Jingheng thought for a moment and said, "I think it's necessary. If my judgment is correct, we were deceived by those footprints. My wife saw this and said she wanted to go back and recheck. We may have missed an important clue."
After hearing what the dog man said, Bai Yangfan turned around and gave her a warm look. As expected of being the boss of these people, he had a quick mind and saw through her intention at once.
That's right, she thought those footprints were deliberately made by that person, deliberately making people think that he fell off the cliff. In fact, it was because of this self-righteous behavior that he added unnecessary details and revealed a flaw.
She didn't know where the man was hiding, but jumping off the cliff was impossible. They must have not checked the footprints carefully and missed some details.
When they arrived at the place where they could explore the footprints, Bai Yangfan carefully surveyed them and returned step by step along the original route.
When he lowered his head to look carefully, the magpie that appeared in the morning came and chirped non-stop around Bai Yangfan.
He raised his head, took out a crushed pheasant egg from his pocket, peeled it and threw it to the bird. He chirped a few words and waved his hand to let the bird go.
What's the point of giving her information now? She's already found it.
The stupid bird couldn't tell her the news she wanted to know. It was good enough to feed her pheasant eggs, but she didn't want any meat.
There is no meat to be eaten if you talk after the fact.
That stupid bird is just an afterthought.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jingheng glanced at the flying magpie. "Any news?"
"They're definitely on the cliff," Bai Yangfan replied. "The most urgent thing is to find out how they got there. They didn't leave any traces of ropes on the cliff edge, which means they didn't go down directly from the cliff."
Lu Jingheng continued her conversation, "If they didn't descend from the cliff, then can we assume there's a cave on this side of the mountain that allows them to enter and exit freely?"
Bai Yangfan's eyes lit up. "That's what I think. Let's look for it again! As long as there are discrepancies, there will be some traces left. I don't believe we can't find them."
"Okay! Let's search separately." Lu Jingheng gathered everyone around him and explained his guess.
"No way! That person is so hateful. He is misleading our thinking?" Zhang Yong is always the first to speak.
"He's quite cunning," Bai Han said, his expression clear as day. "He's actually using tricks to confuse us. He's not just cunning, he's incredibly cunning. If we're not careful, we'll fall into his trap."
Xu Keshan pointed out incisively: "This is not surprising. The couple are hunters and have many tricks to deceive people."
Fei Wen: "Let's not say anything now. Let's find that place quickly, arrest the person, and go back as soon as possible."
Bai Yangfan instructed everyone: "Pay attention. This time we're going back to check. We don't need to worry too much about the main road leading to the cliff. We need to worry about the side roads that appeared on the way here."
When she said this, everyone understood immediately.
In order to confuse them, the man certainly could not reveal the place where he entered and exited. They had already walked along the main road, and if he wanted to reveal it, he would have been exposed long ago.
Of course, the possibility of the opposite happening cannot be ruled out, so when Bai Yangfan said that there is no need to worry too much, he did not mean that it is unnecessary to worry.
It still needs to be checked, don't pay too much attention to it.
Pay more attention to those messy paths, maybe that's where they are hiding.
Lu Jingheng ordered two people to work in groups and conduct separate inspections, mainly focusing on the messy paths.
Zhang Yong and Bai Han, Fei Wen and Xu Keshan have all chosen their routes, and the remaining ones will be allocated after they come back.
After checking once, I didn't find the hole I imagined.
Then he checked the rest, but still couldn't find it. Bai Yangfan felt something was wrong. Didn't that person create so many little paths just to confuse them? How could there be nothing?
Did I miss something, or did they not check carefully enough?
