After more than two hours of trekking, Lu's team finally reached the foot of the mountain on the back side.

The way down the mountain is not as easy as the way up the mountain, and you may slip if you are not careful. The front is still full of unknown risks, so the three of them did not call out their flying partner elves, so as to save their energy for the subsequent battle that may occur at any time.

After gaining a foothold, Lu Yi and Yinchuan called out Kati Dog and Circle Bear.

"It's so hot. Why do you feel more tired going down the mountain than going up the mountain?" Yinchuan took off his coat, and a large amount of heat was visible all over his body.

Muzi felt the same way. She put her palms in front of her face and kept fanning the breeze. There was a lot of sweat under her thick clothes. "Because the process of going down the mountain is more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and die. In order to deal with this situation, the human brain will focus particularly on it. When we land safely and relax, we will feel better than usual. Feeling tired."

Lu Yi did not participate in their conversation, but kept looking around.

"The area is quite large, but our current situation does not allow us to separate. Katy Dog, you and the Circle Bear search the area together to see if there is any food or the smell of burning charcoal remaining around."

Hearing this, Kati Dog and Circle Bear nodded and immediately took action.

"Brother Yi, why are you looking for the smell of food?" Yinchuan shook the coat in his hand to let it cool down in the cold wind as quickly as possible, and then put it on again.

"Because we are tired, Dudu must be even more tired." Lu Yi looked back at him. "Think about it, it must have been very hungry after carrying the girl over a whole mountain, right? Plus, it was morning when they set off, so it should be very close to lunch time when they arrive here."

"Yes! Your idea is simply invincible!" Muzi exclaimed in surprise.

Not long after, Cady Dog and Lap Bear ran back with excitement on their faces, obviously they had discovered something remarkable!

"You found the charcoal pile at one o'clock, right? Okay, let's go directly there."

Lu Yi was very happy. He originally thought that it would be very difficult to track the smell after three days apart. Unexpectedly, these two guys found the clue directly with their naked eyes!

So a few people came to this wood pile. The large burnt marks showed that someone had lit a bonfire here.

However, Lu Yi's focus was on a nearby object.

He smiled and pointed to the object on the ground. "This is probably the biggest gain today."

Muzi and Yinchuan looked in the direction he pointed and found a white mask with pink lip marks!

"The girl must have been gasping for air while playing with Dudu, and the mask was soaked. In addition, she needed to open her mouth to eat, so she simply changed into a new one here." Lu Yi analyzed the scene at that time, The two people next to me thought it made sense.

Kati Dog and Circle Bear directly picked up the masks and recorded the meager breath.

Muzi took out a plastic evidence bag and kept the mask.

"Let's go and search further along this road."

The crowd continued to go deeper, but almost no wild elves appeared along the way. It seemed that the area near the edge of the mountains was relatively scarce in resources, and few elves were willing to make their home here.

Gradually, they were about to reach the foot of another mountain range, when a huge wooden sign came into view.

[Ahead is the Wild Pokémon Nature Reserve, and passers-by are prohibited from passing through! 】

Lu Yi looked around and found that there was a notice like this every 200 meters or so.

"Have we reached the scope of the protected area? Many of the elves living in front should be very powerful, probably comparable to the level of the Quartz Plateau. Then the girl will not even break into the protected area, right?" Yinchuan sighed silently, thinking People should search other nearby areas.

But Lu Yi frowned, temporarily undecided.

"It's hard to say, you forgot about Yushi Town... Oh, right, you haven't come to the case in Yushi Town yet. Anyway, there were some situations that we thought were unlikely to happen before, but it turned out that the naughty child ran away deliberately for fun. Exploring dangerous territory, something terrible happened.”

"So, is there a similar possibility this time?" Yinchuan blinked in confusion. "Even if the girl wants to mess around, does Dudu have the guts? Isn't he afraid that the guys in front of him will beat him half to death?"

Hearing what Yinchuan said, Lu Yi blinked cautiously. In fact, he also had the same question. It stands to reason that Dudu was born as a wild elf and had a strong sense of territoriality since he was a child. It is impossible not to know the dangers of such behavior!

In this case, will they just return or go to other places to play?

Just when the two of them were looking worried, Muzi suddenly exclaimed: "I knew it! No wonder the more I look at it, the more something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Yi and Yinchuan both looked at her.

Muzi pointed at the notice board. "Look! Where are the security facilities in a protected area that only have plaques? Where are the security cordons? Where are the barbed wire fences? Where are the electricity and lighting facilities?

When I first arrived here, I felt strange. Isn't this a clear sign telling the elf hunters that there are no protection measures here, so they can enter with confidence?

So I sent photos to the rangers and nature conservation organizations who conducted the survey two days ago, and guess what? These plaques were not installed by them at all! "

Muzi said, showing the content displayed by Rotom on the phone to the two of them.

"Look! The real protected area is far away! This is just the outskirts of the mountains. The alliance allows some social mountaineering enthusiasts and expedition teams to enter!"

Seeing the message in Muzi's hand, Lu Yi's eyes suddenly became much brighter!

"In other words, these plaques were forged by someone, and he doesn't want anyone to continue exploring?!"

"That's right!" Muzi nodded. "The forest rangers and nature conservation organizations take it very seriously. They have already sent special personnel to this area. They will probably investigate the matter carefully!"

Lu Yi smiled, looked up at the mountains in front of him, and rubbed his chin.

"It seems the problem is ahead."

"Yeah!" Muzi nodded firmly, and Yinchuan called out Pokkisi without saying a word!

"Now that we have discovered the exact clues, let's not save our energy and just fly over to find out!"

"Okay!" Lu Yi agreed loudly.

So they quickly climbed to the top of the mountain and explored it with an unobstructed view.

"There are still mountains on the other side of the mountain..." Yinchuan sighed slightly. This place is at least twenty or thirty kilometers away from the real protected area. Is it possible that everyone has to search all the mountains and dirt roads on the way?

"Don't be discouraged, at least we still have clear goals and clues." Lu Yi comforted.

"Ah? What goal?" Yinchuan was stunned for a moment and blinked in confusion.

"Have you forgotten? The criminal has a group of assistants who can help her dig the tunnel! Let's assume for the moment that the girl is the murderer, then she can already do it at the location of the bonfire because there are no witnesses around. ! But why didn’t she move and choose to go deeper?”

"Because the helper who can help her dispose of the body lives deep in the mountains, not in the elf ball she carries with her, right?" Muzi's eyes lit up and he answered quickly.

"Pa!" Lu Yi snapped his fingers.

"If our previous hypothesis is true, this is it. So as we continue to explore, we need to pay special attention to the smaller elves with claws.

And, from here on, we must make full use of our land and air advantages. Not only do the three of us have to observe carefully from the air, but the Cady Dog and the Circle Bear must also search simultaneously on the ground, because this may be the scene of the crime, and maybe the smell of blood remains! "

Hearing this, Muzi and Yinchuan were very excited.

Muzi: "Okay! Just do as you say!"

Yinchuan: “It feels like we are getting closer to the truth!”
