Chapter 295 Connect these positions.
Su Miaoyi leaned back in her chair and fell asleep. When she woke up, the sun had already set, and it was dark all around.

She got up and stretched her stiff neck.

He got up, intending to go out and find Chu Xingrou and Lu Zhishen.

When I woke up, I found that I couldn't feel my legs.

After walking a few steps to the door, the numbness started to kick in.

She leaned against the door frame, stretching out her numb legs to stand and try to recover from the numbness.

Lu Zhishen came over and saw her holding onto the door frame with one hand, one leg outstretched, and the other arm outstretched in mid-air, her eyes unusually firm.

"Is it getting ready to fly away?" he asked.

Su Miaoyi looked at him for two seconds and then said, "I was originally an eagle soaring in the sky, I belong to the vast sky, I am just returning to where I belong."

Lu Zhishen nodded: "So the truth is..."

"My legs are numb," Su Miaoyi frowned.

Lu Zhishen smiled and asked, "Feeling better?"

"I'm all better now, no symptoms at all," Su Miaoyi said. "Has the DNA from the skeleton been extracted?"

“No,” Lu Zhishen said. “It takes almost half a day to get from Yanjing Village to Changshi City, and the DNA test will also take time.”

"So far?" Su Miaoyi said.

“We have to take mountain roads and detours,” Lu Zhishen said.

"Oh." Su Miaoyi felt a little better and stomped her feet twice. "Shall we continue the patrol tonight?"

"Mm." Lu Zhishen looked at her after speaking. "Got it?"

"I've updated the information on what's happened these past few days," Su Miaoyi said. "I still need to review the documents and recognize the faces."

"You guys can synchronize these things with each other?" Lu Zhishen found it amazing.

"It's amazing."

Lu Zhishen nodded.

Where is Xingrou?

"Going to get the food."

After dinner, Su Miaoyi read through all the documents and looked at all the photos in them.

It was completely dark by then.

The patrol outside has already begun.

Chu Xingrou touched Su Miaoyi's forehead.

Su Miaoyi snapped out of her daze and looked at her: "Are you hot?"

"It's not hot anymore," Chu Xingrou said. "You still need to take this medicine once more."

"Can I not drink it?" Su Miaoyi asked.

I drank one at noon, and the taste was just too strong.

She wouldn't have been able to drink it at all if she hadn't been feeling really unwell.

She's fine now; she doesn't really want to drink anymore.

"No." Chu Xingrou's voice was gentle but very firm. "You have to drink it again."

Su Miaoyi looked at her and blinked.

"You must drink it." Chu Xingrou refused to compromise.

Su Miaoyi continued to look at her.

"No." Chu Xingrou resolutely refused to compromise.

Su Miaoyi was still looking at her.

Chu Xingrou was standing, while she was sitting, looking up at her with a pitiful expression.

But Chu Xingrou wouldn't compromise. Lu Zhishen placed a handful of candy on the table and looked at Su Miaoyi: "This is getting a bit ambiguous."

Su Miaoyi gave one to Chu Xingrou first, and then ate one herself.

Chu Xingrou gave her the medicine, and Su Miaoyi drank it with a candy in her mouth. After finishing, she didn't forget to praise herself: "I'm such an obedient older sister."

Lu Zhishen: "."

Chu Xingrou smiled and sat down next to her.

Su Miaoyi continued to look at the documents in her hand, trying to find some breakthroughs.

Chu Xingrou was also looking at the documents.

A while later, Duan Wenrui sent a message.

The DNA comparison results from the city have been obtained.

The skeletons unearthed from the mountain were confirmed to be those of Wu An.

"In the afternoon, we learned more about Wu An's disappearance in detail," Lu Zhishen said. "We talked to Zhao Yongliang and also spoke with a few villagers."

Su Miaoyi listened to him.

"The exact time of Wu An's disappearance is unclear. At first, his two sisters' families went to look for him, then the police station, and later many people from the village went to look for him. They searched several surrounding villages and nearby mountains. They also searched the forest where we found the body."

"However, no loose soil was found."

"Are you so sure?" Su Miaoyi asked.

When looking for someone, people usually focus on the person and rarely notice the ground.

“Several villagers are very certain that no one usually goes to that forest,” Lu Zhishen said. “Firstly, that forest is already in the territory of another village, quite far from Yanjing Village. Secondly, it’s all forest there, and the mountains are very steep and difficult to walk on. Even in winter, very few people go to those mountains to collect tree branches.”

“They said that in such a place, if the soil and stones had been moved, it would be very obvious. Since they didn’t see it at the time, it must be because there were no signs of disturbance.”

Su Miaoyi was stunned for a moment.

The basis for saying the soil hasn't been disturbed is simply that we didn't see anything?
“Sister Miaomiao, a dozen or so of them went to that forest to look for someone. Of those dozen or so, we only missed three people,” Chu Xingrou said. “One of them is already gone, and the other two left yesterday because they felt it wasn’t safe in the village. The rest of them are very certain that they didn’t see anything, so they definitely didn’t disturb the soil or dig any pits.”

"Are you so sure?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“They were all very certain,” Chu Xingrou said.

“We checked several times, and they said that because they farm year-round and live on the mountain, they can spot any loosening immediately,” Lu Zhishen said.

Su Miaoyi nodded.

That's more convincing.

Every profession has its own level of expertise.

"Actually, it's also possible that when everyone was searching on the mountain, the murderer hadn't buried the body yet," Su Miaoyi said.

Chu Xingrou and Lu Zhishen both nodded.

"While the villagers and the police were searching, this person might have already died and been hidden, or they might have been alive and hidden," Su Miaoyi said. "After everyone had searched for many days and then stopped, the body was dismembered, or murdered and dismembered before being buried. Since no one goes there anymore, it naturally wouldn't be discovered. Besides, right now we can only determine an approximate time of death; we can't be too precise."

She shook her head as she spoke.

Chu Xingrou nodded, looking at the photos taken from the mountain.

"That's all the information we got from the villagers and Wu An's two younger sisters. From the time they discovered he was missing to the search, and the time they couldn't find him, there were very few clues," Lu Zhishen said. "There's no specific time or exact location of his disappearance. He was already gone when they found him, so it's very difficult to investigate."

Su Miaoyi remained silent for a while before continuing to look at the documents.

She needed to review the information and records of several deceased individuals.

Lu Zhishen also organized the information at hand.

The three of them looked at the documents in silence, and none of them mentioned going back to town to rest.

As she watched, Chu Xingrou suddenly sat up straight.

Lu Zhishen and Su Miaoyi looked up at her.

Chu Xingrou showed them several photos she had taken on the mountain: "Sister Miaomiao, Brother Lu, look. These eight burial pits, if you connect them like this, doesn't it form a '3'?"
