Chapter 341 A Fox (More to Come Later)

In the office, Chen Yan is watching the videos from all the infrared cameras.

In the conversation he had just had with ranger Zhang Shulin, Chen Yan had basically ruled out Zhang Shulin's suspicion of committing the crime.

Throughout the communication process, Zhang Shulin's expression was very natural.

Nervous with a little fear.

Judging from the micro-expression analysis, Zhang Shulin did not lie.

More importantly, Chen Yan did not think Zhang Shulin had the ability to commit crimes.

Chen Yan had carefully studied Zhang Shulin's background information before the interrogation.

This person's background can be described as having no background.

Twenty years ago, he was a worker in a lumber camp.

Later, when logging was banned in the forest area, Zhang Shulin, like other loggers, changed jobs and became a forest ranger.

From loggers to forest rangers, there are plenty of them on the black market.

Zhang Shulin is the most ordinary person among them.

There are no economic forest species in the forest area he is responsible for patrolling, and no one has illegally logged it for so many years.

My daughter-in-law works as a farmer at home, and my son has not been admitted to college. He has been working outside after graduating from high school.

There are no enemies or related parties with conflicts of interest.

Just an ordinary person.

In this case, according to the preliminary investigation, the six victims have been confirmed to have left the country through the black market port, disappeared in the Big Bear Country, and were then killed in Mao'er Mountain.

This was the case for six people, and Chen Yan guessed that it was probably the same for the others.

However, Chen Yan has not yet grasped the specific identities of these people.

But even so, who can bring six people working in the Big Bear Country back to the country quietly?

It is even possible that there were not just six people, but 36 people.

Zhang Shulin?

Obviously impossible.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, Chen Yan calmed down and started watching the video.

Chen Yan didn't start looking at yesterday's records, but from a week ago.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the crime occurred in the early morning of the day before yesterday.

The reason why it was so long in advance was that Chen Yan wanted to gain an understanding of the normal environment of Mao'er Mountain through these videos.

Then, compare it with the video footage from the time of the incident.

In this way, Chen Yan can better judge that the information is abnormal.

The visual gene lock is on!

With the ability to freeze the picture, the videos captured by the four infrared cameras flashed alternately in Chen Yan's mind.

Video playback at 36 times speed makes it impossible for normal people to see clearly what is on the screen.

However, deep down in Chen Yan's heart, even at 36 times the speed, it was like slow motion, and every frame of the picture was magnified in front of his eyes with incomparable clarity.

Every sound recorded in the video leaves an imprint in Chen Yan's mind.

…

Eight hours later, Chen Yan had watched all the infrared videos before the crime.

As Zhang Shulin said, there are not many wild animals on Mao'er Mountain.

Especially large wild animals.

In the past week, only the camera on the top of the mountain had captured a rabbit.

Look at the sky outside the window. The sun on May 2 has already risen.

Black Market Detective Team Canteen.

"Didn't you sleep all night?"

Wang Min saw Chen Yan's condition and knew that he hadn't slept all night.

He served Chen Yan a bowl of millet porridge: "Any new discoveries?"

Taking the millet porridge, Chen Yan shook his head: "Not yet. I'll probably finish watching the video this morning. I'll watch it then."

"Lin Gang and Xu Wen haven't come back yet?"

The breakfast at the Black Market Detective Team was pretty good, including steamed buns and soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Wang Min took a bite of the fried dough stick in his hand: "Not yet, it will probably take two or three days."

The six individuals identified live in different locations in the black market.

Five of them are in rural areas and one is in the city.

The places of residence are relatively far away, making it difficult to investigate.

Progress on Tian Xuwen's side is even slower.

The Black Market is the northernmost large city on the border between China and the Big Bear Country.

The border is thousands of kilometers long.

These people may sneak back from any location.

Therefore, it is more difficult to investigate.

Tian Xuwen even wants to use the intelligence network of the Detective Corps in Big Bear Country.

Chen Yan nodded, this case was different from the past.

Not in a hurry.

There were too few clues at the scene, so Chen Yan and others could only look for clues from the victim.

After breakfast, Chen Yan squinted in the office for a while.

The next work is the most important.

Chen Yan wanted to compare the images captured by the four infrared cameras on the night of the 29th, the day of the incident, to see how they were different from the past.

Chen Yan has analyzed the locations of four infrared cameras.

Needless to say, there is an infrared camera on the top of the mountain.

When Chen Yan saw it on the plane, it was taken when the crime occurred that day.

A miserable and terrifying cry, and a slight vibration.

However, due to the angle, the camera did not capture the black mud and blood pool.

But the strange thing is that Chen Yan only found a strange footprint at the scene, but no traces left by anyone else.

This is illogical.

If there is only one single footprint at the scene, is the owner of the footprint the victim who screamed?

If so, then who was the dark figure that flashed across the camera that night?

Why did he leave no trace?

If he wasn't the victim, why would he scream?

And that black mud and blood pool.

The depth is about one meter, and it is filled with blood.

Can this be accomplished by one person?

And the cinnabar token that was enshrined is still being analyzed and tested, and the results have not come out yet.

I don’t know if any useful information can be extracted from the above.

However, according to the legend about the black mud blood pool that Wang Qiang told, the spiritual tablet should have the birth date of the person cursed by the black mud blood pool.

After taking a nap for an hour, Chen Yan continued working.

The video during the day on the 29th was no different from before.

The breeze in the mountains rustled the leaves.

Four infrared cameras faithfully record everything around them.

At 6:30, the sky was getting dark, and the color of the picture in the infrared camera also changed from color to gray.

At 10:23, a figure appeared in front of the No. 1 aircraft.

I couldn't tell what color the fox was, but the light in its eyes was very bright. It was walking in front of the camera.

Is this the fox Zhang Kai was talking about?

Pressing the pause button, the clips in the video kept replaying in Chen Yan's mind.

There's nothing special about foxes.

In the dark, the fox's pupils dilate, allowing it to see clearly in the dark.

When photographed by an infrared camera, the fox's eyes will have obvious reflections.

Camera No. 1 is the camera closest to the foot of the mountain and the camera closest to the scene where Chen Yan found the severed hand.

The fox in the video seems to be taking a leisurely stroll rather than looking for food.

Gululu...

In the video, the sudden sound of birdsong seemed to disturb the fox.

With one leap, the fox's figure disappeared from the camera.

Chen Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

There seems to be nothing suspicious about the entire scene.

However, Chen Yan always felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong..."

Fox moves?

It can't be fake, absolutely not.

The fox in the video is very agile and there is no way it is fake.

Besides, the other party makes a fake fox...

It's of no use.

The murderer must not have known about the existence of the infrared camera, or had it been removed long ago.

There will be no clues left for Chen Yan at all.

The voice of a fox?

The fox appears only briefly in the video, so it's normal that the fox doesn't make any noise.

But, what is wrong...

Um!

The picture in Chen Yan's mind suddenly stopped.

None of them are right!

The picture is wrong and the sound is wrong too!
