Chapter 71: Suspect?

  The ink lotus dislikes accumulation of water, likes high terrain, and the closer it is to the direction of the mountain top, the greater the chance of finding it. Unfortunately, this ink lotus is too small in size, and it takes extraordinary eyesight to find it!

  Heaven does not disappoint those who are diligent, and half an hour later, Qin Lang also successfully obtained the Mo Humian Lotus, collecting more than a hundred plants, several times more than actually needed.

  "If it wasn't for the prior planning, this trip to pick herbs in the mountains wouldn't have gone so smoothly. It seems that the knowledge I learned from those days spent studying in the library is now being put to use in real life."

  Qin Lang looked at his own abundant results with satisfaction and smiled.

  At this time, he saw a perennial flowing mountain stream in the forest ahead and planned to drink some water and take a rest. In fact, he had been feeling tired for a long time, but since his task was not completed, he didn't stop moving forward.

  Qin Lang walked over to the small stream and scooped up some water with his hands, taking a few sips. To his surprise, the taste was refreshing and sweet, with a rich natural fragrance of grass. After drinking it, he suddenly felt comfortable and relaxed, feeling refreshed and invigorated. Compared to the tap water in the city, it was like heaven and earth apart.

  After drinking water, he stopped to observe the scenery around him. The gentle mountain breeze blew in his face, and there was a coolness everywhere. Perhaps due to the surrounding being sealed off, the birdsong and cicadas deep in the forest were especially pleasant to hear. For the first time, he felt very good about being close to this world's wilderness.

  Many rare and towering trees and bamboo that are hard to find on the Dan Ding continent, here they are connected in pieces, underfoot are also full of colorful wildflowers and grasses, competing for beauty, fragrance overflowing.

  Qin Lang casually grabbed a few plants and studied them for a moment, discovering that they all had extremely high medicinal value, so he hastily put them into his cloth bag.

  In a short while, the cloth bag tied around his waist was filled to the brim with all sorts of medicinal herbs. There were those that could be decocted, those that could be applied externally, and even some that could be used directly. Each had its own unique effects, and some were even rare in the Dan Ding Continent.

  It can be said that the harvest is extremely rich.

  Qin Lang looked up at the sky, and at this time, the sun was still overhead, probably around 3 or 4 pm. As long as he could make it to the village entrance before dark, finding a ride home wouldn't be difficult.

  He then went down the mountain with a full load.

  On the way down the mountain, Qin Lang remembered Bai Wuxia's reminder before going up the mountain. He had to tell her when he came down. That sentence might still be able to take a lucky police car and go straight to Ping'an City, which would save a lot of trouble.

  Qin Lang couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart, he didn't expect today to be so lucky!

  After walking out of the jungle, Qin Lang continued to walk for a while. When he was about to reach the mountain pass, he suddenly thought that there had been a murder case on this mountain. If he encountered other police officers, they would definitely take him as a suspicious person. Although it wouldn't cause any real trouble, the quality of the police is uneven, and if he really got involved, he would definitely suffer some consequences.

  It's all good, no need to stir up trouble.

  He stopped in his tracks, leaned against the back of a large tree beside him, and decided to call Bai Wuxia to ask where she was, so that he could bypass other police officers and rush over to find her.

  After taking out his mobile phone, Qin Lang only discovered that the screen was pitch black and couldn't be turned on, it had run out of battery.

  His eyebrows furrowed instantly, no power outage in the morning, no power outage at night, why did it just happen to have a power outage at this time?

  It's actually not the phone's fault that it ran out of battery, since Qin Lang gave up on it that day, he never had the consciousness to charge his phone again. If not for its strong standby function, it would have died long ago.

  It's no use sighing now, I can only go find Bai Wuxia myself. Qin Lang thought to himself with a bitter smile.

  ……

  It turned out to be Wu Yong, who was crouching in the bushes to resolve his "internal conflict".

  Maybe it was the hot pot at noon that upset his stomach, Wu Yong, who should have been on duty, suddenly had a stomachache and had to sneak out alone to resolve the "internal conflict".

  The smooth sensation of defecation made him involuntarily let out these moans that were easily misinterpreted.

  Because his voice was not loud and there was a distance between them, Qin Lang did not hear his voice from afar.

  Moreover, Qin Lang was concentrating on making a phone call, and the surroundings were covered with various bird and insect sounds, so Wu Yong's voice was even more neglected.

  "Damn it, it's too comfortable!" Wu Yong shouted with relish.

  The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was the few mountain bees flying around him, making him anxious and restless, buzzing non-stop.

  When Wu Yong got angry, he waved his hand and drove away these annoying bees.

  "Huh? Someone?"

  Just as Wu Yong raised his head to drive away the bees, he inadvertently caught sight of a figure lurking about 100 meters away, leaning against a tree.

  He had just put all his energy into defecation and did not notice the figure. However, when he went up the mountain, he carefully observed the surroundings and found no one moving around.

  Could it be one of our own colleagues?

  This place has already been sealed off, and except for colleagues of one's own, it is impossible for anyone else to appear here.

  He suddenly closed his eyes, then opened them again, focusing intently on the direction where the figure appeared, but found that the other party was not wearing a police uniform from head to toe.

  Although he was far away and couldn't see the person's face clearly, he also didn't have a sense of familiarity, and it didn't seem like one of his colleagues who came to work on the case today.

  Moreover, the other party's attire was also somewhat strange, especially with a bulging cloth bag tied around their waist, which seemed to contain quite a few things, and didn't appear to be from the surrounding rural households.

  This made Wu Yong feel that the other party's identity was highly suspicious.

  He suddenly came to his senses and became vigilant in his heart.

  If the other party is neither a colleague nor a neighboring farmer, and appears in the sealed mountain at this time, it may be related to the murder case!

  Wu Yong's face darkened, and he began to regard his opponent as a suspect.

  My mind immediately became worried, if the other party was a murderer, coming up the mountain to destroy some evidence, then after discovering this policeman, he might even fight him.

  Wu Yong felt a chill run down his spine as he thought about it, now that he was alone in this fight, if things really came to blows, it would be a matter of life and death!

  He is most aware of the severity of this case, and his superiors suspect that it may be the work of a serial killer, so the Ping'an City Criminal Investigation Detachment he belongs to will participate in the investigation.

  Serial killer, he's a ruthless fugitive who kills without batting an eye!

  He is still waiting for promotion and wealth, a lot of women, a lot of money, are all waiting for him to enjoy, he doesn't want to sacrifice so soon.

  Wu Yong furrowed his brow, this kind of desperate thing is still better left for others to do!

  He immediately pulled out his intercom with a trembling hand and prepared to call for help from his colleagues. At the same time, his hand also touched something else.

  "My old man has a gun!"

  He suddenly came to his senses. With a gun, he had the upper hand, what else was there to be afraid of?

  At the same time, he also realized a more important point. If the other party was indeed the murderer, considering the superior's emphasis on this case, if he could independently subdue the criminal and bring him to justice, it would be a great achievement.

  Having achieved such great merit, isn't promotion and wealth just around the corner?

  Perhaps Bai Wuxia will look at him with new eyes, and when the time comes, he will capture the beauty's heart, which is a delicious food that gets both the country and the beauty.

  At this thought, Wu Yong was filled with strength and had no fear of just now. His mind also became active, carefully wiping his buttocks while thinking about how to quietly approach the opponent and take him down.

  Just then, he saw that the other side seemed to want to leave, and his heart suddenly became anxious. Without even tying up his pants, he ran over with one hand holding up his pants and the other hand pulling out a gun.

  In order not to startle the snake, he ran with extreme caution and didn't dare to shout loudly, fearing that if he wasn't careful, he would scare off the suspect and cause them to escape.

  However, Wu Yong was still heard by Qin Lang even if he was more careful and ran quietly.

  Qin Lang heard the noise and immediately turned his head in confusion. What entered his line of sight was a man running at incredible speed, wearing a police uniform and holding a gun.

  Wu Yong seemed to have sensed that Qin Lang had discovered him, and he started running while shouting loudly, "If you dare to run, I'll shoot you dead! If you don't want to die, stand still for me!"

  Qin Lang saw this policeman holding a gun in one hand and running with his pants down in the other, and he was momentarily stunned.

  It seems that he had just finished relieving himself and hadn't even had time to pull up his pants before discovering him, and wanted to urgently chase after him. With a gun in hand, it's clear that the other party was on high alert.

  No need to guess, this police officer running towards him is probably treating him as a suspect.

  "What you fear comes true!"

  Qin Lang let out a sigh, but he didn't overworry due to his inner speculations. Because Bai Wumei would help him prove it. Moreover, he was just looking for Bai Wumei, and after explaining clearly, perhaps this police officer could even help him find Bai Wumei, which would save a lot of trouble.

  So he stood still, patiently waiting for his opponent to run over.

  Wu Yong saw that Qin Lang did not run away, and his heart became even more vigilant. He stopped running two meters away from him, with one hand holding up his pants and the other hand pointing a gun at Qin Lang's head.

  "Don't move, who are you and what are you sneaking around here for? Haven't you seen that the mountain is sealed off? You actually dare to sneak in on your own, I think you're incredibly reckless!" Wu Yong bellowed menacingly. At the same time, he was extremely vigilant, eyeing the cloth bag at Qin Lang's waist, afraid that he would pull out a weapon from his pocket.
