The young Mr. Ling said this sentence in a very affirmative tone, which made the people around him stunned.

In this tone, most people will involuntarily express the answer directly.

But it is obvious that Lao Ta is not an ordinary person, he is a hob meat that has been struggling in society for many years.

"Don't be kidding little brother! Can I know a hammer? We're all just here."

Mr. Ling looks really young. Even if his eyes are so deep, he cannot hide his tender face.

So Lao Ta called him little brother, but there was nothing inconsistent with him.

Mr. Ling did not respond to Lao Ta's unreasonableness, and still had a calm face, looking at Lao Ta and said:

"The murderer's murder skills are extremely professional, and he is fatal with one knife, without any sluggishness. It is conceivable that he was extremely calm at that time. The body died for thirty-six hours, and it is rare here. So the murderer has enough time to clean up the scene, so don't you think the palm print was left on purpose?"

Lao Ta "cut" and sneered:

"Is this called not to drag the mud? Look at the ground, the ground is full of ashes, and jars and jars are all over the floor. Is this called not to drag the mud?"

Mr. Ling shone the powder scattered on the ground with a flashlight and said in a deep voice:

"These jars and jars were intentionally broken by the murderer, and they were not caused by the fight between two people. Otherwise, there would not be only one person's footprints on the powder, and there would be no dust on the body."

Lao Ta lit a cigarette, was silent for a moment, looked up at Mr. Ling, and asked:

"You mean, someone forged the scene and deliberately used this palm print to blame others?"

Mr. Ling had no expression and said lightly:

"This possibility is not ruled out."

Lao Ta sucked the cigarette hard, silent.

He knew someone who had such palm lines, but he couldn't say that this was a matter of loyalty.

Everyone present looked at Laota, waiting to hear the answer.

Only Guyu did not, because he was not interested in who killed the temple guardian, but he was very interested in the purpose of the murderer.

So he walked out of the gate of the Shimiao, picked up the phone and dialed out in a quiet place.

"Dudududu~~~" No one answered for a while, Guyu couldn't hear the busy voice, so he could only count the time in his heart, and after fifteen seconds, he decisively hung up the phone and dialed another number again.

This time the other party connected quickly.

"Hey, Lao Xiao, are you busy? You talk to me with hands-free. My phone number is special. You don't need to be hands-free. I can't hear it clearly. It's a very strange phone number, um."

"No, brother, what's the matter?"

"I asked Mr. Hua about Jade, but his phone could not be reached."

"Hi! I told you, not only can you find Mr. Hua, but we can't find him now. I told you that this is very strange. Mr. Hua has never appeared for decades. The store has been closed for several days. I don't know if he is sick and the phone can't be reached."

“When did you start to find it?”

"But it's been a few days, and it seems that he didn't come the next day after you left."

"Okay, it's okay for me to find Mr. Hua. I'll go to him personally after a few days. You'll be busy first. I'm still in the mountains."

"Okay, let's see you back."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yu lit a cigarette silently, squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the stone temple, everyone asked the murderer of Laota in a verbal way.

Lao Ta responded with the word "not knowing". He was so anxious that he was asked. This guy kicked the door and even cursed:

"You guys are you police? I don't know it after I said I don't know."

In the stone temple, Li Xiaohua and the others chased out and shouted:

"Mr. Ling said you know, you must know."

"The murderer is probably still in the mountains. Tell me about his situation and we can deal with it, otherwise we are all in danger."

"That's right, if you don't say it, it will prove that you are in the same group as the murderer."

“…”

Lao Ta turned a deaf ear and walked towards the village at the cave.

Guyu pinched Yanshi and stopped a few people who were still chasing him and asked,

"Don't worry, I'll ask him."

A few people still have to talk, which means Guyu and Laota are in the same group, and it is not reliable.

But Mr. Ling stopped them and said to Guyu:

"It doesn't matter who the murderer is, what matters is whether his purpose is related to us or you."

This is the same as Gu Yu's idea. With just this sentence, Gu Yu guessed that what the expedition team is looking for is definitely not simple, otherwise there would be no such doubt.

So Guyu said to Mr. Ling:

"I'll go and ask Lao Ta, are you here with me?"

Mr. Ling shook his head and said:

"I just invited professors to identify the authenticity of the expedition team. I don't know their purpose. I will ask their captain to go with you."

As he said that, he turned around and waved his hand to the smiling man, saying:

"Okawa, go and have a look with Mr. Gu."

Na Dachuan nodded and bowed to Mr. Ling, quickly agreed, and followed Guyu.

Lao Ta was smoking a cigarette in his tent. Seeing Gu Yu and Smiley Dachuan appear at the door of the tent together, he knew what was going on, but he didn't give him a good look at all.

Gu Yu didn't care, so he sent a cigarette and said:

"The temple guardians are the only ones who can tell us the path, right?"

Lao Ta nodded.

Guyu picked up the map, pointed to a point above, and said to Dachuan with a smile:

"We are going to find a lost person nearby, but we need to know the specific location of the temple guardian in this cliff village, where are you going?"

Dachuan looked at the place where Gu Yu pointed his finger and said:

"Our destination may be a place, but we are not looking for people, but looking for soil."

"Look for soil?"

Guyu is a little puzzled about what the expedition team is looking for.

Seeing Guyu's puzzled expression, Dachuan continued:

"A Hong Kong merchant surnamed Li collected a pottery jar. It is said that it was found in the tomb of the Zhou Dynasty. The pottery jar contained a kind of red soil. After being cracked by oracle bone inscriptions, the symbol on the pottery jar means "ruling".

After comparing the soil analysis and comparison with many places, it was found that the soil composition of the Shu Basin is the closest to the ruins, but it is not completely consistent.

The boss didn't know why he was so obsessed with the source of this soil, so he asked around. He didn't know who told him that there was a place called "Blood Pool" in the Meishan Mountains, and the soil color was as blood-red as the ruins.

Then Boss Li spent a lot of money to find our private expedition team, and invited the youngest professor, Mr. Ling, with six doctoral titles, to guide us.

Mr. Ling looked through the county annals here and found this abandoned cave village. He also determined that the temple guardians in the cave village may know the location of the blood pool, and then we came here."

Gu Yu was surprised that Mr. Ling was so young, but he had so many titles. At the same time, his eyes rolled and he said:

"I remember when I met you next to the plank road, you said someone was guiding you to walk on the abandoned plank road. Now you should carefully savor it. Does that matter have anything to do with the death of the temple guardian?"

Dachuan looked shocked and said:

"What you mean is that someone prevents us from going to the blood pool to test the soil sample, and even kills the temple guardian first for this, and then waits to trick us into walking on the plank road on the road. This is the best way to kill us. If we can't kill us, we can't find a way to the blood pool. Double insurance!"

Gu Yu nodded and said:

"I guess, that's the case. Go back and discuss with Mr. Ling to see what to do next. As for who the murderer is, I can't be sure, but who the handprint belongs to. After knowing your destination, I can basically guess it.

Just tell Mr. Ling that the handprint is a kid from Laota and also serves as a wild road guide. He accompanied someone into the mountain a few months ago, and the destination is the blood pool you are going to."

Speaking of this, Gu Yu turned to look at the surprised old tower and said:

"I guess right?"

It’s not interesting to say that Lao Ta hides it from it, and his expression has confirmed Gu Yu’s guess.

So Lao Ta took a puff of cigarette and whispered:

"His name is Bidong, but I don't believe he will kill people. He doesn't have the courage."

Dachuan's mind is now full of people trying to harm their expedition team. After learning about the identity of the handprint, he did not stop for a moment. He turned around and ran back to discuss with Mr. Ling, guessing that he was going to give up the mission and run away.

Seeing Dachuan walking away, Guyu hurriedly squatted down, grabbed Lao Ta who was sweating on his forehead, and said in that gloomy and low tone:

"The murderer's target may not necessarily have an expedition team, but it must include us..."
