The rest room on the third floor of Tawanbogdo National Park Police Station, Altay, Mongolia.
This police station is a combination of office and accommodation. The third floor is the accommodation area. The so-called lounge is actually a dormitory.
There are canopy beds on both sides and a square table in the middle. The furniture is very simple, but the scenery outside the window is very beautiful.
The four of Lin Shuo have settled down here for the past few days. There are exactly two canopy beds, divided into upper and lower bunks.
There were two ladies sleeping on the left, and Lin Shuo and Wei Xingshan on the right. The table in the middle was set up during the day, but moved to one side at night, and a cloth curtain was drawn.
Although it was approaching evening, it was still daytime, and the table was set up, and Lin Shuo and the others were sitting around the table.
Wei Xingshan diligently poured tea for the four of them, lit a cigarette for Lin Shuo, and then asked expectantly, "Old Lin, you have to tell me what's going on? What's going on with you? Knowing that the heart is eaten?"
Lin Shuo took a puff of cigarette, did not speak, but glanced at Anne and nodded.
The meaning is very clear, that is, now, you can tell these two laymen something.
Anne nodded slightly, and then said: "According to the information we have now, our hunting target in this operation is a strange creature called 'Mountain Yama'. According to the information held by Hunting Gate and the International Association for Biological Research, this 'mountain king' Hell's lifespan is over fifty years old, and his threat level is rated as 'SS', which is more ferocious than hooked snakes.
This is also the most dangerous action since the establishment of our International Biological Research Association. "
"Shan Yan Wang?" Wei Xingshan frowned, "What the hell is this?"
"People who have seen this thing are already dead, and there are many top players in the hunting gate." Lin Shuo said at this time, "So you ask me what is this thing? I don't know either. I only know that it has committed murders before. Every time, the victim's heart will be eaten, and there are no wounds on the surface of these victims.
The most ferocious massacre of this animal was thirty years ago, when it massacred a whole village in Qiangdisu, that is, Miss Anne's ancestors.
In addition, Mr. Zhang Guohua, one of the six leaders of Liemen, I should call him uncle, fought wits and courage with this beast for more than ten years, and finally died in the hands of this beast.
In the past thirty years, not only Mr. Zhang Guohua. My father, Miao Guangqi, Cao Yusheng and other senior experts in the hunting gate have all tried to hunt it down, but they were all unsuccessful.
Frankly speaking, I am not fully sure about this operation.
So old Wei. "
Having said that, Lin Shuo cast his eyes on Wei Xingshan and said, "At this time, we may not actually see the sun of tomorrow. You are an indomitable man, so don't disturb the hearts of your colleagues."
Wei Xingshan was taken aback by Lin Shuo's words, and then he understood.
He knew what Lin Shuo was referring to.
He glanced at Liu Qing and found that this woman was also looking at him.
Wei Xingshan felt as if he had been electrocuted. He quickly looked away and nodded at Lin Shuo, "Okay, Lao Lin, I'll listen to you."
"By the way." Lin Shuo said, "Does anyone have Lao Yang's phone number?"
"I have." Wei Xingshan, Anne, and Liu Qing said in unison.
Then the three came back to their senses at the same time, and asked in unison: "You didn't?"
Before the four of them and Yang Tuo were born and died in Waixing'an Mountains, they would at least leave a phone call to each other afterward, which is human nature.
But Lin Shuo didn't.
Now being asked by three people at the same time, Lin Shuo suddenly felt that he seemed to have made a mistake, which made him a little depressed.
"Stop talking nonsense." He rolled his eyes.
…
The patrol cars of the police station came back one after another, but it was already pitch black outside.
This place is not like a city, there is no light pollution, once it is cloudy, you can't see your fingers at night.
Although Lin Shuo and Anne are not ordinary people, they can move without hindrance even in the dark, but considering that there are Mongolian police accompanying them, they decided to finish their meal first and then rest for the night under Aruna's suggestion. , and set off again the next day.
That night, Lin Shuo sent the photos of footprints taken today to Yang Tuo in the form of MMS, and then dialed the number of the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The trip to the Xing'an Mountains made Lin Shuo realize that this scholar has a clear head and can discuss things together.
And he is an international authority in biology.
Liemen's understanding of the King of Hades is really too little. Under such circumstances, to deal with this beast, one must not be empiricist, but must believe in science.
"Lao Yang, I'm Lin Shuo."
"Hello, please speak."
"Did you get the picture?"
"Well, I saw it."
"What do you think?"
"Tiger footprints."
"I think so too, the features are too distinct, but is the tiger so big?"
"It's really strange, have you been to the scene?"
"Not yet, go tomorrow."
"When you went to the scene, you asked Miss Anne to take some soil samples from the footprints and send them over. I'll see if I can find the skin debris of this thing. If I can find it, I will do a genetic map to see what it is species."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shuo lay on the upper bunk of the bunk bed, with his hands on the back of his head, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Wei Xingshan, who was on the lower bunk, got out of bed, stood up, glanced at Lin Shuo, and asked, "Old Lin, what are you thinking?"
The cloth curtain was lifted, and Anne and Liu Qing came from the other side of the room in their pajamas.
Lin Shuo looked at the three people beside the bed, and frowned, "Why do you come here because you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
"I can't sleep." Wei Xingshan said, "When you told me about King Yama in the evening, I didn't feel at ease. Old Lin, please tell me a little more."
"I know so much, how can I say more? Make up stories?" Lin Shuo gave the strong man a look, and then looked at Anne, "But now, we can analyze it first."
"Then analyze it." Wei Xingshan said.
"At present, we actually have two pieces of information on the King of Hades." Lin Shuo said, "One is the cause of the victim's death, and the other is the footprints at the scene. But have you found out that the two are actually contradictory."
"I've discovered it a long time ago." Wei Xingshan patted the bed frame, "But you, Lao Lin, have always said things in a mysterious way. I thought I was stupid, so I didn't have the nerve to ask."
"Then tell me, where is the contradiction?" Lin Shuo asked.
Wei Xingshan compared the size on his chest: "With such a big footprint, the size of this thing must be as big as an elephant, right? Such a big guy eats so delicately that it only eats the heart and does not eat other parts? How to eat, it must not starve to death
Take me as an example. My old Wei is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. You can eat steamed buns, rice, or meat. You can eat seafood, which is either shells or thorns. ah!
Especially crabs, hey, this is troublesome.
Think about it, the size of this thing can eat without leaving a wound on the heart. This difficulty is like my old Wei eating crabs. After eating, the crab shells can still be assembled into a whole.
How is this possible? "
Lin Shuo nodded: "It's not stupid, it's on point."
"No way!"
"Then think about it again, under what circumstances can the heart be eaten without leaving wounds on the body surface?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Supernatural power." Wei Xingshan said solemnly, "This trick is called fetching objects from the air. It must have this ability, otherwise why couldn't you do it before Liemen?"
"It's really not exaggerated." Lin Shuo gave the giant a look, then looked at Anne.
"Mouth." Anne replied, "When the Su family was killed 30 years ago, my mentor once performed an autopsy on the victim. It was found that the esophagus of these corpses was ruptured. The King of Yama must have used some kind of mouth The device was inserted into the victim's body from the victim's mouth, then punctured the esophagus, and sucked the heart. Today, the female forensic doctor in Outer Mongolia, probably because she was too young, panicked when she saw the heart missing, and did not carefully check the condition of the esophagus. "
"Does the size of the esophageal breach allow the heart to pass through?" Lin Shuo asked.
"It's hard." Anne fell into memories, "I've seen the autopsy report of my tutor back then, and the breach was only three centimeters."
"That means that the heart was crushed, or dissolved by the stomach acid spit out from the mouthparts, and then sucked." Lin Shuo said, "In this way, there may be tissue cells of the 'Mountain Yama' in the victim's body. .”
"I know what to do." Anne nodded, "Give me twenty minutes before leaving tomorrow."
"Remember to send it to Yang Tuo." Lin Shuo reminded, "He is in Lanzhou, which is closer to the European headquarters of the International Biological Research Association."
"good."
