Chapter 251 Solving the case
The phone screen lit up, and in the photo, a young man in his early twenties was holding up the "Speedy Mountaineering Association" flag, his smile dazzling in the sunlight.

"Speed ​​Climbing Association?"

Ji Xuehui frowned and muttered, "Isn't Lin Yue and the other three members of the 'Peak Mountaineering Association'? Could it be that one of them was once a member of this association?"

Xu Ying suddenly leaned closer to the screen, her fingertip lightly touching the man's eyebrows and eyes in the photo: "Look, this person's facial features are seven or eight parts similar to Lin Yue's!"

She looked up at Chen Su, "Could this phone belong to Lin Yue?"

Chen Su gently stroked the back of his phone with his fingers: "I just tried searching for 'Speedy Mountaineering Association,' and the results show that the association has been disbanded."

He frowned slightly. "What's even stranger is that all the related online articles I clicked on resulted in a 404 error—it's like they've been deliberately cleaned up."

"Someone is deliberately erasing any trace of this association..."

Xu Ying seemed to be deep in thought. "Captain Ji, could you have the colleagues in the Information Department conduct a thorough investigation?"

Ji Xuehui immediately dialed the number.

Guan Lin suggested, "Let's go down the mountain first and use professional equipment to recover the phone data. The truth should be here."

Before leaving, Xu Ying carefully instructed the argali chieftain on precautions and promised to come back in three days to change the medicine.

The snowsweeper rubbed against her boots reluctantly: [Don't forget our promise, see you on the variety show!]

Xu Ying said goodbye to the animals.

It was past 8 p.m. when I got back to the Xishan Police Station.

Guan Lin rushed to deliver the phone to the technical department.

Two hours later, a shocking report was presented to everyone.

"It's confirmed to be Lin Yue's phone."

Guan Lin's voice was a little tense, "We restored a text message that failed to send."

The screen clearly displayed:

"Plan accomplished, brother, I've avenged you."

Recipient: Lin Qian
A colleague from the IT department added, "Lin Qian was Lin Yue's younger brother. He died in a mountaineering accident five years ago. At that time, Lin Yue was doing trade business abroad and was unable to return in time to see his brother off."

Xu Ying and Chen Su exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing their understanding.

At that moment, an intern from the information technology department rushed in: "Team Leader Ji! We've contacted the families of the three deceased and confirmed that they were all members of the 'Rapid Mountaineering Association'!"

“We learned the details of the accident five years ago from Luo Zhiqiang’s wife…”

The intern opened his notebook and said, "The mountaineering team consisted of four people, who were the three victims in this case: Zhou Mo and Cheng Zeyan, two rich second-generation friends, and Luo Zhiqiang, the mountaineering guide."

"The fourth person was Lin Yue's younger brother, Lin Qian. While climbing 'Ghost's Sorrow' Peak, they encountered a blizzard. According to survivors, Lin Qian went back to camp alone to retrieve supplies to save his exhausted teammates, but was caught in an avalanche..."

Ji Xuehui interrupted, "The official conclusion is that it was an accident?"

"Yes. But Luo Zhiqiang's wife revealed..."

The intern lowered his voice, "There was actually a fierce argument within the team at the time. Some people advocated giving up on the summit, while others insisted on continuing. Lin Qian was the only one who supported giving up, and he argued fiercely with the others about it."

“Zhou Mo and Cheng Zeyan are both from wealthy families and have a closer relationship. The mountain guide Luo Zhiqiang is also on their side.”

Chen Su suddenly stood up: "Lin Yue doesn't believe this was an accident. He believes his brother was murdered."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this; clearly, what Chen Su said was true.

This episode's Snow Mountain Murder Case is Lin Yue's meticulously planned revenge for his younger brother.

The following day at noon, the lights in the forensic lab cast long shadows on everyone. The forensic results were in, making the case clearer and providing more evidence.

The forensic doctor adjusted his glasses and attached the X-ray film to the lightbox: his fingertip touched the image of Lin Yue's stomach, "Here, incompletely dissolved capsule residue is clearly visible, while the other deceased only had liquid ethylene glycol in their bodies."

Xu Ying stared at the blurry shadow, as if she could see Lin Yue tilting his head back and swallowing poison before his death.

Chen Su stood beside her, his cold profile sharply defined in the blue light: "He left himself a way out?"

"No, it's a dead end."

The forensic doctor shook his head. "Tests showed that the residue contained cyanide. The concentration of ethylene glycol in Lin Yue's body was not enough to kill him; what truly took his life was this capsule."

Ji Xuehui slammed the notebook shut: "So it was murder plus suicide?"

"More accurately, it was an elaborate execution ceremony."

Chen Su's voice was like ice, "He specially found Luo Zhiqiang, the guide from back then, to be a witness."

As the forensic doctor explained, the cruel truth gradually became clear: Lin Yue lured Cheng Zeyan and Zhou Mo to the snow-capped mountains under the pretext of mountain climbing. He prepared energy drinks laced with ethylene glycol and watched the two gradually lose consciousness in the extreme cold.

When Luo Zhiqiang tried to escape, he caught up and delivered the final blow.

Finally, he knelt in the snow, between Cheng Zeyan and Zhou Mo—

He forced the two men he believed to be the murderers to kneel in the direction of Ghost Peak, while also feeling guilty for not being there to protect his younger brother.

In the afternoon, the technical department searched Lin Yue's phone further and retrieved an encrypted video.

In the video, Lin Yue calmly says to the camera, "Xiao Qian, they have finally knelt before you and confessed their sins."

His eyes were terrifyingly gentle. "Brother will come to be with you right away."

After watching the video, everyone fell silent.

"Let's close the case."

Ji Xuehui said softly, gently placing the photo of Lin Qian on top of Lin Yue's autopsy report.

Two similar young faces finally reunited in this way, in the file folder.

The crowd sighed for a long time.

Now, the four bodies, including the murderer and the victim, along with the evidence, are all complete.

This means that the second episode of "Rules of Survival in the Desert" can be recorded live as scheduled tomorrow!
When Xu Ying called to tell Director Shao the good news, Director Shao was so excited that he almost cried. He immediately kowtowed to Xu Ying on the other end of the phone, and Xu Ying could even hear the sound of his kowtow.

"Director Shao, you're exaggerating. I'm just doing my best to help the police solve the case."

Director Shao's voice choked with emotion: "I really thank you for solving the case so quickly. The second episode had over ten million reservations across the internet, such high popularity, which was almost extinguished because of this murder case."

"Station Chief Xu, this is an incredible fortune that you've managed to secure with your own abilities!"

"Don't worry, the higher-ups have already discussed giving you a higher share of the program's revenue."

Xu Ying couldn't help but ask secretly, "About how many?"

Director Shao smiled mysteriously: "A number even more outrageous than a million."

Ten million?

Xu Ying was so overwhelmed with happiness after hearing this!

Recording a variety show for a few days can earn you tens of millions in revenue sharing; making money in the entertainment industry really is fast!
Xu Ying laughed for a moment, then suddenly remembered something important she hadn't asked: "Wait, Director Shao, are the celebrity guests the same ones as before, or are there any newcomers?"
