Chapter 79: Stirring Up Trouble?

  It's been so many days and this girl has made great progress!

  Listening to Bai Wuchan's reasoning, Qin Lang couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

  He recalled the hijacking case that day, and Bai Wuxiao's tender actions almost cost them their lives. He thought this girl wasn't cut out for being a cop, but didn't expect that she still had some potential.

  However, after listening to the discussion just now, Qin Lang felt that the complexity of this case far exceeded his imagination.

  Such a complex case, yet it's still limited by time, it's really making things difficult for these ordinary people!

  Qin Lang shook his head. Now it seemed that they still had the urge to go find the scene of the first case next, so he didn't know when he could return to Ping'an City.

  Captain Gao immediately took it seriously and elevated it to a very high level, "The analysis is well-founded. It's necessary to find the scene of the first case! And it can't wait!"

  When he finished speaking, he eagerly turned to Yan Fa and said: "Yan Fa, I need to come up with a preliminary plan to find the first crime scene right away. I need your assistance."

  "Let's go aside and discuss this, hoping to help you catch the murderer as soon as possible!"

  A group of police officers moved to one side, and you began to discuss with each other in a word-by-word manner.

  The body was just surrounded by police, Qin Lang couldn't see the condition of the body at all. Now he saw it, but it made him pause suddenly.

  The corpse lying there was actually naked!

  From his perspective, the deceased had a plump buttocks, but was extremely well-proportioned, with a ratio that was just right. Her skin was so delicate it seemed to be blown by the wind, and in the glow of the sunset, it shone brightly and transparently. She was a rare beauty who could set hearts aflame. To die young like this was truly a cruel fate for one so lovely.

  However, the deceased's appearance was not the reason for Qin Lang's surprise. From a holistic view of the corpse, he felt that the corpse exuded a strange abnormality all over its body. This abnormality, however, could not be observed visually, but rather relied on his personal intuition alone.

  When Qin Lang smelled the fragrance of sandalwood coming from that dog, he realized that his consciousness and senses had followed him to take over Qin Da's body. Because the fragrance of sandalwood can only be smelled by those who have reached a certain level of cultivation with their consciousness.

  Moreover, even if his physical condition is poor, his five senses have not weakened at all. With these two points, it is enough to prove.

  So where was the corpse wrong, Qin Lang couldn't make it clear for a while, he just felt vaguely that it had a close connection with yin and yang wu xing.

  Maybe I should go take a look!

  Qin Lang made up his mind and walked towards the direction of the corpse.

  "Little thief, where are you looking? Where do you want to go?" Bai Wuxiao saw this scene and thought Qin Lang had ideas about the beautiful corpse, so he didn't think twice and immediately came over to block him.

  Qin Lang focused on the corpse, and suddenly found Bai Wuxia blocking his way, taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly and said: "Aren't you handling the case?"

  "Hmph, taking advantage of my busyness, you're bored, aren't you? Bored to the point where you want to attract even a dead person's attention! You little scoundrel, once I'm done with this, I won't let you off!

  Bai Wuxiao said with a pouty face, then immediately turned her head and spoke to a police officer: "Bring over that piece of cloth from earlier and cover the corpse with it. Although the deceased is already gone, we still need to show respect, right? To prevent certain people with ulterior motives from getting any ideas!"

  After finishing speaking, she glared at Qin Lang fiercely again.

  The young policeman's face suddenly turned red like a monkey's buttocks, and his greedy eyes swept over the body before he hastily ran to fetch a cloth.

  "Look where your eyes are looking!" Bai Wuxiao's pretty face suddenly revealed a triumphant and mischievous smile, to be exact, it was the joy of victory.

  She and Qin Lang were like a bamboo tube pouring beans, they couldn't finish talking, and after bickering with Qin Lang for a few more sentences, she continued to do her thing.

  How did I smell the smell of knocking over a vinegar jar again?

  Looking at the white figure running away, Qin Lang shook his head helplessly.

  The other sharp-eyed police officers could tell at a glance that this was Bai Wuchuang's deliberate act, and the purpose was naturally to prevent Qin Lang from seeing it. Indeed, compared to them, Qin Lang was still a child, and looking at corpses was not good for him in the first place, let alone one that wasn't even clothed!

  Not far away, Wu Yong had changed into a clean set of clothes and simply tidied up his hair, but still couldn't cover up the miserable state of his swollen face. He was hurrying over to grab some oxygen water when he saw this scene. At that moment, he was clenching his fists and staring at Qin Lang with a scowl on his face.

  Others don't know, how can he not know? Bai Wuxia is eating vinegar for this tender grass!

  Qin Lang was "warned" by Bai Wuchuang, and he also dispelled the idea of going forward to check the body. Soon, the police officer who was ordered by Bai Wuchuang to cover the body with a cloth, now held a large square cloth in his hand, and was about to put it on the body.

  The moment the quilt was covered, a gust of wind blew up, blowing out a lot of weeds from the deceased's hair, and one of them even blew to Qin Lang's feet.

  "Hmm, this blade of grass looks like it's a bit different from the ones around it!"

  Qin Lang was originally paying attention to the deceased, and now the grass had blown to his feet. How could he not notice? He bent down, stretched out his hand to pick up the grass.

  After observing the grass for a moment, he found that it was very small, only half the length of his little finger, and withered to almost no water content. At first glance, it looked no different from the surrounding grass. There were several strands of damp soil at its roots. He had just heard several police officers discussing it, and he remembered it in his mind that the dampness of the soil might be related to the wet hair of the deceased.

  He then put the grass to his nose and sniffed it deeply, there was a pungent smell, but the grass was already close to withering away. Relying solely on this smell and shape, he found it difficult to determine what specific plant this grass was. So, he took some of the mud from the roots, put it in his palm, rubbed it open, and then put it in his mouth for a try.

  Why is the soil salty?

  Qin Lang's face changed, and then he picked up the soil at his feet and put it in his mouth to try again.

  After comparison, he basically confirmed what was in his mind. This grass is not a plant from here.

  For the past two days, he had been exploring the land and plants of Ping An City, doing a lot of homework, familiarizing himself with them, and knowing them like the back of his hand. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to easily determine this mountain and find the medicinal herbs he needed in such a short time.

  Changlong Mountain has a warm and humid climate, with fertile land, but it is neutral to slightly alkaline soil. However, the soil of this grass is salty, strongly alkaline, and throughout Ping'an City, only in the eastern part, there is a small town called Dongkou Town that specializes in growing cacti, which has such strongly alkaline soil.

  This suggests that the deceased may have been present in Dongkou Town. It is even possible that it was the first crime scene.

  "Ah Yong, Ah Yan, Da Zhi, you three, quickly go and try to get all the surveillance cameras around here, including those at every intersection, to see if there are any suspicious people or vehicles! The murderer must have used a car to transport the body, I don't believe he has supernatural powers to fly over!"

  "You're busy, take a few colleagues to the nearby villagers, continue to investigate and see if you can get any leads from their mouths!"

  “……”

  At this time, Captain Gao was arranging and deploying the task of searching for the first case discovery site. The arrangement, without exception, was all around the area and nearby to conduct a blanket search. Just because Dr. Yan said that the death time did not exceed twenty hours, they finally came to the conclusion that the first case discovery site would not be too far away.

  Qin Lang looked at these police officers who had been confined to this area, and suddenly a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  It's simply a waste of time to go on like this!

  "Hey, you little brat, what are you laughing at? Get out of here and stop obstructing our investigation!"

  Qin Lang was suddenly stimulated by the rough and violent roar in his ear, and he came to himself. He looked up to see that it was actually the detestable Wu Yong!

  "What am I laughing at? Mind your own business! Just take care of yourself!" Qin Lang retorted.

  Wu Yong's anger had not dissipated, and he was waiting for an opportunity to teach Qin Lang a lesson. However, Captain Gao had just made a summary of the dispute between the two, and it was clear that this was not the time to take action.

  However, in his heart, he was like a beast that had been stirred up, making him extremely annoyed. Even if he couldn't take action, he had to counterattack with his mouth. Just as he was about to start scolding, Bai Wuxiao quickly ran over and rebuked him, "It seems you're determined to not get along with me, is that right?"

  Wu Yong recalled what Bai Wuchan said when he was shielding Qin Lang, and forcibly suppressed his anger. With a smile on his face, he said, "Wu Xiao, we are handling the case here, and he is laughing over there, so I came out to ask him why he is laughing, telling him not to disturb our work. What do you mean by saying that I am at odds with you? Don't wrong me!"

  Bai Wuchan glared at Wu Yong and coldly snorted: "You seem to be not handling the case, relatively speaking, you look more like someone who's here to stir up trouble!"

  Without waiting for Wu Yong to argue, Qin Lang spoke up first: "Let's go, we're wasting our time here. You can discuss and reason all day, but it won't do any good. Even if you had three years instead of just three days, you still wouldn't be able to crack the case! We might as well leave now and get on with our lives - eat when we should eat, drink when we should drink!"

  "Ah, you've heard that, haven't you? I'm not talking nonsense, and I didn't cheat you. This kid is just causing trouble!" Wu Yong finally caught Qin Lang's mistake and immediately ran out to add fuel to the fire.
