Chapter 249 Clues Given by the Tibetan Fox
Chen Su turned his gaze to Guan Lin and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Let's go. Didn't you report this morning that the drone detected a weak signal on the east cliff? Let's go there and take a look."
Guan Lin hesitated and rubbed his red, frozen hands: "But it's been so long, I don't know if the signal source is still there."
"Let's go take a look first!" Xu Ying squatted down and gently stroked the fluffy feathers of the three snow pigeons. "We have so many capable helpers now."
Upon hearing this, the snow pigeons immediately puffed out their chests proudly and made cooing sounds.
The four of them walked along the ridgeline toward the cliff on the east side.
The biting mountain wind blew fine snow particles onto people's faces. Chen Su walked in front, his tall figure blocking some of the cold wind for everyone.
Surprisingly, the cliff on the east side was not far from the snow cliff where Luo Zhiqiang's body was found, and the destination was reached in less than 20 minutes' walk.
"It's right here."
Guan Lin pointed to the cliff in front of him. The cliff was almost 90 degrees vertical to the ground and very steep. "The drone captured the signal near here this morning."
Chen Su immediately unloaded his equipment and piloted the drone to perform a full-scale scan of the cliff. Everyone stared at the display with bated breath, but as time ticked by, the drone's detection results were disappointing—the cell phone signal that had been present had completely vanished.
“Damn it!”
Guan Lin kicked the snow in frustration. "If only you could have come earlier. It's true that things can happen unexpectedly!"
Just when everyone was at a loss, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from the snow pile.
Seven round little heads poked out from the snow, their two little paws waving desperately, shining silvery in the sunlight.
[Webmaster Xiao Xu! I finally found you!]
The snow weasel emerged from the snowdrift, panting. "I went to the camp and found the tents were all dismantled. I asked the snow wolf and found out you were coming this way!"
Its small chest heaved violently, and the white breath it exhaled condensed into tiny ice crystals in the cold wind.
Xu Ying quickly squatted down and said, "I'm sorry, baby, I didn't have time to inform you that we were moving."
The snow weasel rubbed against Xu Ying affectionately: [Don't worry, with the snow pigeons leading the way, we'll find you soon.]
Xu Ying gently brushed the snow off the little guy, her movements gentle: "What happened? You ran so fast."
The snow ferret's black eyes rolled around, and suddenly he sneezed: "We found Uncle Tibetan Fox! He said he saw the murderer kill people with his own eyes!"
The little guy spun around excitedly. "It was right behind me, walking so slowly. I couldn't wait any longer, so I ran over here first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an orange figure walked out from behind the rock with a funny pigeon-toed gait. His steps were steady and composed, which did not belong to a small animal, and he exuded the aura of a director.
This Tibetan fox has a square face and looks very steady.
There are two tufts of white hair above the Tibetan fox's narrow eyes, and the corners of its mouth are naturally raised, as if it always has a mocking and mysterious smile on its face. Its eyes are three parts cold and indifferent, and seven parts careless.
The Tibetan fox slowly swung its big fluffy tail, which was as long as its body, leaving a graceful trail on the snow.
[Ahem. It was a dark, windy day.]
The Tibetan fox sneezed loudly the moment he opened his mouth. "Sorry, my snowy season rhinitis is coming back."
It rubbed its red nose with its paw. [I saw the oldest Twoleg gave the other three something to drink.]
As it spoke, it imitated the action of humans drinking water so vividly that Guan Lin almost laughed out loud.
"The oldest one is 42-year-old Lin Yue?" Xu Ying reacted immediately. She listened and "simultaneously interpreted" the fox language to others.
The Tibetan fox's comical white eyebrows twitched up and down: "After drinking, the three men became staggering, as if they were drunk."
It suddenly lifted its front paws off the ground and imitated the staggering walk of a human. [The one wearing glasses in particular fell to his knees after only two steps.
[This old fellow named Lin Yue ordered them to kneel down. They knelt there in the snow. Since you humans don't have as thick fur as we do, the three of them suddenly had their eyebrows shaped like mine.]
[But just as Lin Yue lowered his head to look at the small square (cell phone), the tallest and strongest among them——]
"It's the mountain guide Luo Zhiqiang!"
Guan Lin became excited and couldn't help but interrupt, and the notebook in his hand almost fell into the snow.
[A mountain guide? He definitely has the physical strength of a guide.]
The Tibetan fox gestured with its paws. [He suddenly jumped up and ran away. That speed, wow.]
Chen Su's eyes glared. "Luo Zhiqiang is the strongest, so the hallucinogen dosage estimated by Lin Yue might not be enough. He's pretending to cooperate, but he's actually waiting for an opportunity to escape."
His voice was low and calm, but it couldn't hide the sharp light in his eyes.
The Tibetan fox shook off the snow on its body, and the snowflakes sparkled in the sunlight: "That's all I see. The wind and snow are too strong, and I don't want to catch a cold."
Ji Xuehui stroked her chin thoughtfully, her goggles reflecting a cold light. "This makes sense now. The logic connects with our previous investigation."
"Luo Zhiqiang fled to the mountains, but under the combined effects of the wind, snow, and drugs, he was ultimately killed by the well-prepared Lin Yue. His body was thrown off the cliff and hung on a cedar tree."
She turned to look at Chen Su, "But why did Lin Yue die in the end? Commit suicide?"
Guan Lin scratched his hair in annoyance, his hat tilting to one side. "There's another big problem. These testimonies all come from animals. We can't just write 'Tibetan fox eyewitness testimony' into the case report, can we?"
He looked at Xu Ying for help, "Master Xu, is there any other way?"
"More importantly,"
Ji Xuehui frowned, her gloves-covered fingers leaving a few snow marks on the phone screen. "What was Lin Yue's motive? Why did he kill these three companions?"
The four of them were sorting out the information given by Director Zanghu.
Sudden--
A burst of rapid hoofbeats came from the ridge.
Then a scene that surprised everyone appeared:
The herd of blue sheep leaped onto the nearly vertical cliffs as if walking on flat ground, using their hooves to precisely gain leverage in the rock crevices that were less than a finger's width.
They moved swiftly and swiftly, their muscles stretching out smooth arcs in the sunlight. As the gravel rolled down, the flock of sheep had turned into gray lightning and soared to higher places.
The leading ram suddenly leaped over a three-meter cliff, its hind hooves kicking up sparks on the stone edges, and the entire herd followed closely behind, leaving dizzying running tracks on the steep rock wall, as if gravity was just a joke to them. Even Newton would be furious seeing this.
A strong young blue sheep led a flock of more than a dozen sheep and rushed over aggressively.
