Chapter 216: Ran off the track and was left alone. At this time, the irritable antelopes had become very easy to talk to.
The cow didn't even raise its head: "Oh, you mean the guy who blocked the road. He was dead when we saw him."
[A few days ago, we were going to lick salt on the cliff, and this guy's body was blocking our way.]
[We pushed him down the mountain.]
Xia Zhining's eyes flashed with surprise as she translated Antelope's statement.
Ji Shuyun's eyes were cold and gloomy. "So, someone killed the herbalist and placed the body on the path where the takin must pass to lick the salt, intending to frame him."
Xia Zhining still had doubts: "But the body only has scars caused by takin."
"The killer probably used the takin's impact to cover up the real fatal injury."
Ji Shuyun carefully looked at the photos of the corpse and the crime scene that Commander Miao sent him on his mobile phone.
"Perhaps, the deceased was hit by a heavy object or pushed off a cliff by the murderer and died."
"The murderer did not use a weapon like a knife that could easily leave marks."
Xia Zhining glanced at the herd of takins that had almost finished licking the salt bricks: "There are many animals in the mountains. There must be some little ones who witnessed the murder."
Miao Zhichang felt a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and a chill ran down his back. "We were almost misled, and it took a lot of police manpower to move the entire herd of takin... Thank goodness you guys came!"
Ji Shuyun's knuckles tightened suddenly, and his voice suddenly dropped: "In other words, the real culprit is probably still in the mountain."
He suddenly raised his eyes, and his gaze collided with Xia Zhining's. Both of them felt a chill in their hearts at the same time -
"Then the Ms. Hu we're looking for is in extreme danger!"
At this moment, the first cow, having enjoyed the delicious salt, raised its big head and said: [Looking for someone?]
[Who are you looking for up the mountain?]
Unfortunately, the takin are nearsighted, so showing them Ms. Hu's photos is of no use.
Xia Zhining described Ms. Hu's appearance and voice: "She's our friend's mother. She went into the mountains to collect raw materials for pigments."
She unfolded the map and sighed, "We've already visited two locations, but there's still no news of Ms. Hu."
"There are four more places to go,"
She pointed at the distant mark on the map, her face wrinkled. "The most troublesome part is this. It's on top of the cliff, and we have to go around a long way. All told, it'll take us until three or four in the morning at the earliest to finish the hike."
As soon as he finished speaking, a disdainful snort was heard from the side.
I saw a cow walking slowly over, glancing at the steep cliff, its eyes full of contempt, "Is that all?"
[Why bother? Taking a detour? Not happening.]
The first bull snorted, lay down, and called out to Xia Zhining in a gruff voice: "Come up, little girl. Today, Brother Niu will let you experience what vertical takeoff is!"
Xia Zhining's eyes lit up. That's right!
The takin's ability to climb walls and scale roofs is due to their hooves being natural climbing spikes. Cliffs are like spiral staircases to them!
[We are full and full of energy!]
[Swoosh twice, straight to the top of the mountain.]
The first cow added proudly.
"Is it really possible?!"
Xia Zhining was so surprised that she almost jumped up.
What is in front of you is not a cow, it is clearly a "bioforce field tank" that runs fast and steadily and can adapt to all terrains!
But she immediately thought of her companions and quickly turned around to point at Ji Shuyun and Miao Zhichang: "What about my brother and Uncle Miao?"
The first cow snorted and said reluctantly: "Hmph, for your sake... let them take a ride."
