Chapter 245 Why did you recognize the wrong person?
Chen Su chuckled when he heard this: "Don't worry, I believe in you and your little animal scout."
Ji Xuehui's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and she suddenly remembered the hot search for the agricultural assistance live broadcast a few days ago.
She interrupted with a smile, "Yingying, Captain Chen is also an external player I hired. Aren't you guys going to record a show?"
"Team Chen, as the official security officer, coordinated police support for the filming of the program."
Xu Ying understood that safety must be taken into consideration when filming variety shows outdoors. Xuelang Video is quite conscientious, and every episode will have professional security and even official police stations to escort it. Some variety shows do not care about the safety of the guests at all, and only care about traffic.
Chen Su's eyes swept across Xu Ying's nose, which was red from the cold, like a plum blossom in the snow.
He turned around calmly, took out a rubber water bag filled with hot water from the side of the heater, and wrapped it carefully with a towel.
"Give."
Chen Su handed over the hot water bottle, but pulled it back the moment Xu Ying reached out to take it.
"Wait." He took out another dry towel from his coat pocket and placed it on the outside of the water bag before handing it back to her. "Be careful of burns."
The moment Xu Ying took it, their fingertips briefly touched the edge of the towel.
Chen Su immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, turned around, picked up a piece of paper and pen, and continued to write down his records;
Xu Ying put the water bag on her frozen cheeks, and no one noticed the tips of her ears suddenly turned red in the hot steam.
"Sit here. Captain Chen just got here a while ago. Let me introduce the situation to you."
Ji Xuehui pointed to the spot closest to the heater and said, "The forensic doctor just sent over the preliminary report."
Xu Ying held the hot water bottle, and her frozen hands quickly warmed up. The heat made her earmuffs quickly moist.
There were several supply boxes piled up in the corner of the tent, with the words "Alpine Emergency Rescue" printed on them.
The tent fabric flapped in the strong wind, but the thermometer inside showed five degrees Celsius above zero - a luxurious warmth in a blizzard at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
"The three deceased were all members of the 'Summit' mountaineering association."
Ji Xuehui pulled up the information on the tablet. "The body in the middle is Lin Yue, 42 years old, vice president of the Mountaineering Association. He started his business from scratch, experienced ups and downs, but has finally settled down and is the owner of a restaurant chain."
Ji Xuehui scrolled the screen. "The guy on the left wearing a blue jacket is called Cheng Zeyan. He's 28 years old, a wealthy second-generation kid whose family makes medical devices. He's an outdoor blogger with over 100,000 followers on social media."
The young man in the photo is making a V-sign to the camera, with the snow-capped slopes of Mont Blanc behind him.
"The one on the right..."
Ji Xuehui zoomed in on the third photo. "Zhou Mo, 29 years old, an architectural designer who returned from studying abroad. His father is the former president of the Provincial Mountaineering Association."
The man in this ID photo wears gold-rimmed glasses and looks more like a scholar than a mountaineer.
Xu Ying noticed the similarities between the two men - sophisticated equipment, well-maintained skin, and the relaxed feeling in the photos that was unique to people from wealthy families.
Lin Yue's face looks like that of a first-generation rich man, and there is a complexity in his eyes that these two young people do not have, a sense of accumulation of years.
After listening to this, Chen Su frowned slightly and said, "The age difference between Lin Yue and the other two is quite large. He is more than ten years older."
"I'm also in the real economy, a first-generation entrepreneur, and I don't seem to have much in common with these two."
"Were these three people the mountaineering team that climbed the mountain on the day of the incident?"
——"Based on the information we have now, there should be a team of four that day."
Ji Xuehui pulled up a registration form from the Mountaineering Association. "There's also a mountaineering guide who graduated from a private school. His name is Luo Zhiqiang, 31 years old."
She pointed to the last name on the form. "The people from the association said he's stronger than these three and used to be on the provincial rock climbing team."
"The mountain guide is currently missing and the search and rescue team is currently searching for him, but I'm afraid he's in grave danger."
Ji Xuehui's eyes flickered: "We speculate that he may have met with misfortune, but his body has not been found yet."
Chen Su asked in a deep voice, "Have these four people ever climbed a mountain together before?"
——“The people from the association said no.”
Lin Yue and the other three have been members of the association for five years. They only occasionally meet at association gatherings and have participated in three or four group activities.
Chen Su pondered for a moment and said, "Let's check again to see if they have joined any other mountaineering associations before joining the Peak Mountaineering Association."
Ji Xuehui immediately responded: "Okay."
At that moment, the tent curtain was suddenly lifted, and a snow-covered police officer poked his head in. "Captain Ji, the drone detected a suspicious signal near the east cliff! It could be the missing person's phone location!"
Ji Xuehui stood up immediately, the friction of her winter clothes being particularly clear in the tent. "Notify the search and rescue team, I'll be there right away."
Before he could finish his words, a gust of wind almost overturned the entire tent, and the flame of the heater shook violently.
"no."
The police officer shook his head. "The wind speed is over level 10 now. Even the helicopter can't leave the hangar."
At this time, there was a whistling sound around them, and the tent was as fragile as a floating boat in the wind and snow.
Chen Su: "Get out of the tent now, it might be dangerous!"
Ji Xuehui: "It's too windy outside, we might be in danger in the snow!"
Xu Ying: "With such strong winds, I wonder if there will be an avalanche..."
Xu Ying had also been to a snowy mountain for rescue in his previous life, and he understood that the current situation was extremely dangerous and he was in a dilemma.
The police officer who came in also looked hesitant as he listened to the discussion of the three people.
As the few people were hesitating, the tent suddenly stabilized miraculously in the strong wind. The wind was still howling outside, but the sudden stability made the four people look at each other in surprise.
Xu Ying was the first to notice something unusual—several huge black outlines were reflected on the canvas at the four corners of the tent.
The shadows rose and fell slightly with their breathing, using their bodies to support the shaking tent. She carefully identified the silhouettes cast on the canvas: the pointed erect ears, the rounded earlobes
"It's the snow wolf and snow leopard!"
Xu Ying exclaimed, her voice trembling slightly with surprise and emotion, "They're helping us secure the tent!"
At this moment, a gap appeared in the tent curtain.
A silver-gray snow wolf cub nimbly crawled in and shook off the crystal snow particles on its body.
It is only the size of a puppy, but it already has the demeanor of a snow king - its silver-white hair is clearly visible, there is a cluster of conspicuous dark gray "lightning" lines on its forehead, and its amber eyes are bright and lively.
The snow wolf cub tilted its head and looked at Ji Xuehui and Xu Ying, its pointed ears turning alertly.
Finally, it walked up to Chen Su with a tender but steady pace:
[Stationmaster Xiao Xu, I, Baba, said I'd take you to our cave to escape the snowstorm~]
The contrast between the babyish voice and its deliberately serious expression is so hilarious that one can't help but laugh.
But what shocked Xu Ying even more was——
"Wait. What did it call you?"
Xu Ying stared at Chen Su with wide eyes, "Why do I call you 'Little Station Master Xu'?"
