Qiu Wuhen checked the head of the deceased. There was also a blunt force injury on the head, but the blunt force injury on the head was long and strip-shaped. It was not like the previous trauma caused by irregular rock knocking.

Caused by blows to the head with wooden sticks or iron bars.

A rock was found in the snowdrift at the scene, with blood and a small amount of hair stained on it.

Qiu Wuhen touched the blood stains on it with his hands and obtained the DNA. After comparison, it was consistent with the DNA typing results of his younger brother Zhang Erlang, proving that the stone wound was Zhang Erlang's blood stain.

The hair was also tested by DNA and proved to be Zhang Erlang's.

This means that this stone should be the murder weapon that killed Zhang Erlang.

He immediately touched the rock carefully with his hand, and sure enough, he got several fingerprints on the rock, two of which were still bloody fingerprints, but the color was not very deep. He immediately extracted Zhang Dalang's fingerprints, and sure enough, the fingerprints were Zhang Dalang's.

The rock also fell next to Zhang Dalang's body.

However, Zhang Dalang's head was caused by a heavy blow with a wooden stick. The wooden stick that was hit hard has not been found yet.

Qiu Wuhen continued to check, and soon found multiple resistance wounds on Zhang Dalang's left arm, which were caused by cuts. After taking off his clothes for inspection, he found that there were several cuts on Zhang Dalang's left forearm, and the blood had solidified.

After comparison, the blood stains on Zhang Erlang's sharp knife belonged to Zhang Dalang, proving that the dagger had once struck Zhang Dalang. Zhang Dalang used his arm to block it, causing multiple wounds on his wrist.

The footprints extended from top to bottom, and they searched further up the mountain along the footprints.

After walking for a while, I found a large area of ​​empty snow with messy footprints and blood everywhere.

A fierce battle had obviously been fought here.

There is a blood trail extending forward in another direction.

Qiu Wuhen said: "We'd better follow this footprint to find this person first. It's unclear whether the murderer is at the scene. It's best if everyone doesn't disperse."

This statement was immediately approved by the others, so they all followed him and searched forward along the footprints.

Because none of these parents know whether their children will be at the end of this journey. They are unwilling to give up any hope.

This time they walked farther, about two miles, before they saw a figure on a slope, lying motionless in the snow.

Qiu Wuhen first observed the area near the scene and found no traces of a struggle, only the single footprint of the man lying face down in the snow.

Qiu Wuhen went over and turned the body over.

Another parent burst into tears immediately. He recognized that it was their son, a student nicknamed Cheetah.

This student was nicknamed Cheetah because he was very good at sprinting and extremely fast. Unexpectedly, he still did not escape death.

Qiu Wuhen found that there was a little blood on the cheetah, but there were no wounds on him.

He was holding a wooden stick firmly in his right hand. There was blood on the stick. Could he be the one who beat Zhang Dalang to death?

Qiu Wuhen checked the blood on the wooden stick, and after DNA comparison, it was indeed consistent with the DNA of Zhang Dalang beside the mountain rock, as Qiu Wuhen had previously inferred.

In other words, the wooden stick in the cheetah's hand was the murder weapon used to kill Zhang Dalang.

There were no wounds on the cheetah. How did he die?

After Qiu Wuhen checked that the deceased's clothes were not damaged, he took off his clothes and examined the body surface.

There are no scars on the body surface, everything is intact.

Did he freeze to death?

It's possible. The temperature is so low and he doesn't wear much clothes. He might die if he lies in the snow.

But whether he froze to death requires an autopsy to determine whether he died.

Cheetah's father was crying, and Qiu Wuhen felt that this was not the time to propose an autopsy.

He extracted the cheetah's palm prints, took out a piece of his hair for DNA analysis, and then took the others back the same way, leaving only the cheetah's father and relatives to take care of the body.

They returned to the scene of the fierce fight, and Qiu Wuhen told others to stay away.

He investigated the scene and found that all the footprints on the ground were human, and there were no footprints of wild beasts. He extracted the blood from every place.

After Qiu Wuhen tested the blood stains, he was surprised to find that the blood stains on the ground belonged to Zhang Dalang, Zhang Erlang and Fatty respectively.

In other words, the fight between the three of them took place in this place.

Where are the remaining three people?

They searched around and finally found another set of footprints above.

Following the footprints further up, the footprints were messy, but there was no blood on the footprints going up. It was obvious that the fight started after coming down, and they had not fought before reaching this place.

After climbing for a while, we reached a small forest. The footprints came out of the small forest.

There is a clearing in the woods, and there is a bonfire burning in the clearing.

A body was found next to the fire. It was a woman. Her whole body was stiff and there were no wounds on her appearance.

A parent burst into tears when he saw this girl. It was his daughter, her name was Meifeng.

Qiu Wuhen asked the police to prevent others from approaching, while he inspected the scene first.

There were many messy footprints on the ground at the scene, and the body was curled up on the ground with an extremely frightened face, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying.

Qiu Wuhen had already extracted the shoe prints from the feet of each deceased person. Now he touched the messy footprints on the snow with his hands and compared them with the several footprints of the deceased found in his mind.

The soles of ancient people's shoes were all handmade and had various unique patterns. After being worn for a long time, they would also form unique marks due to friction. Therefore, each footprint is unique and can be identified in the same way.

After comparison, it was quickly confirmed that the footprints at the scene were those left by the five deceased people who had been discovered before they were alive. In addition, there was also a shoe print that did not match the five people.

The shoe print is probably that of another child.

But weren't there seven? And one child? Didn't show up at the campfire?

In other words, there are only six children making a fire to keep warm next to the campfire?

This small forest is located near a low cliff, which can block the wind. There are many dry firewood branches in the small forest that can be used to make fires.

There were a lot of dry branches picked up next to the fire that had not yet been burned, and most of the firewood in the bonfire had only just burned a small part of it. It can be seen that something happened shortly after the fire was lit.

The bonfire went out after these people fled in all directions, leaving only Mei Feng dead there.

How did she die?

Qiu Wuhen began to examine the corpse, and found that the corpse was completely stiff, not only due to rigor mortis, but also due to freezing.

When the body is turned over, it looks like a frozen lobster

However, it is undeniable that the deceased Meifeng was indeed very beautiful. Even after she died, her beauty before she was born can still be seen.

He examined the body surface and found that the deceased was fully clothed and his belt was well tied, and there were no signs of violence or violation.

However, just because the body surface is intact does not mean that it was not a homicide, but in full view of the crowd, it is really difficult to examine him. Generally speaking, there are no injuries on the body surface, and there will be no scars on the inside of the clothes when you take off the clothes. Such advanced martial arts as beating a cow across a mountain

Not everyone will.

Qiu Wuhen and others continued to search for the remaining person, who was a woman.

After they searched the small forest, they found two sets of footprints extending outward. The two sets of footprints were in opposite directions, and they obviously did not belong to the same person.

It's strange. Six corpses were found earlier, so why are there two sets of footprints left here?

Aren't there seven of them, and one other person?

Qiu Wuhen said to Capt. Ke: "Divide the police into two groups. You will lead each group and search along the footprints. After you find the person, if he is dead, be sure not to get close. Wait thirty steps away from the body.

Stop guarding other places and wait for me to come. Let's take the others and find another one first."

Chief Ke agreed to leave a few agents for Qiu Wuhen, and he took the other few agents and chased them along the footprints on the right side.

The remaining parents followed Qiu Wuhen, Qian Jinzhi and a few detectives and followed the footprints on the left.

The footprints extend all the way to the other side of the mountainside.

Suddenly, they discovered a small cave at the end of the footprints.
