Chapter 679 Deep Mountains and Old Forests
Song Zhenguo was taking a nap on the rocking chair in the yard.
In the past, Beiliang Mountain was inaccessible. Except for the people living nearby, there were basically no outsiders.
All people living near Beiliang Mountain make a living by hunting in the mountains and picking mountain products.
But later the hunter was not allowed to hunt, saying it was against the law.
But if hunting is not allowed, how will everyone survive?
No way, in the first few years, the mountain people hunted secretly.
No one knows anyway.
However, the investigation became more and more strict, and many people were sentenced for poaching.
Song Zhenguo was one of those people who were too frightened to do anything.
He handed his shotgun to the police station and guarded Erfen Susukada in the village.
Life was just normal.
But Song Zhenguo had a good relative who sponsored him to open a store.
Song Zhenguo's place has become the only window for Xigou Village to communicate with the outside world in the past few years.
Slowly, Lao Song’s life got better and better.
Lao Song, holding the civet cat in his arms, turned his eyes away and looked at his neighbor.
"What fingerprints? I don't have the time. You have to go there by yourself."
After saying that, Lao Song closed his eyes, hugged the cat and passed away again.
There are many people like Lao Song in the mountains.
But the police's human resources are limited after all, and it is impossible to go door to door to collect everyone's fingerprints.
Therefore, this centralized approach can only be adopted at the beginning.
Then the remaining fish that have slipped through the net will be collected one by one.
Although the process of collecting fingerprints is not difficult, it does not take long for each person to collect fingerprints.
But I can’t stand the crowd.
The work of collecting fingerprints is mainly responsible for the Beizhou City Criminal Investigation Detachment, and the detachment leader Wang Bingkun is the direct person in charge.
Zhao Guofeng is the technical director.
“Team Wang, if we keep mining like this, we probably won’t be able to finish it in a week.”
Although Zhao Guofeng is an experienced prospector, he has many years of working experience.
But it doesn’t mean that I have experienced more things.
This is also the first time he has encountered fingerprint collection on such a large scale.
I once heard from other colleagues that in order to solve a murder case, hundreds of thousands of people in one town or two towns were collected for fingerprints and even DNA information. To be honest, I thought it was a joke.
But this time it was his turn, and he really felt that the work here was too scary.
The collective collection work has only completed less than 80% of the total number of people.
And there are still 20% of people who can only pick it from door to door.
Fortunately, the police station and village committee below helped with the screening.
Otherwise, it is unclear how many people there are and how many people need to be collected.
After trekking for most of the day, Lu Chuan and others have entered the hinterland on the south side of Beiliang Mountain.
The scenery here is different from outside.
Some valleys are like autumn outside, but some valleys are like spring.
Lu Chuan has never been to the Hengduan Mountains, so he doesn’t know if the ecological situation here is similar to that there.
But what he saw made Lu Chuan very surprised.
Because it was summer when he came to Beiliang Mountain, and the scenery in each valley was almost the same.
The temperature is not much different and the scenery is similar.
I didn’t expect that in winter, the temperature here would be so different, with one valley and one sky.
"Old Chen, it's so beautiful here in winter. It stands to reason that there should be more tourists coming in, but it seems that there are not so many expedition teams outside." Lu Chuan opened a white morning glory and sucked the dew inside.
Sweet and refreshing.
This is what Chen Guoshi taught him.
There is no shortage of water in the mountains, and the water quality in this palm-sized white morning glory is very good.
People who came to the mountains to hunt in the past used this to collect water.
No matter the time of year, this flower blooms all year round.
“Although the scenery here is good in winter, the danger is also greater.”
Old Chen led the way, holding a hatchet in his hand.
Although it can be vaguely recognized that this is an old road, because no one has walked on it for a long time, there are still vines blocking it, and it must be split with a hatchet to move forward.
“It’s quite beautiful inside during the day, but the temperature difference inside is very big at night.”
"In the wild, you are not afraid of encountering jackals, tigers and leopards, but you are afraid of encountering low-temperature weather."
"The cold inside the mountains is different from the cold outside. No matter how thick you wear and how well you keep warm, the low temperature It will definitely be able to drill through. Once the fire is unable to be made, it will be in trouble.”
“So, our guides rarely take tour groups into the mountains in winter, and even if they do, it will only be one or two on the outside. We will wander around this valley and never go deeper.”
“Let’s speed up. The temperature in this valley is low at night and is not suitable for camping. We have to climb over this mountain and go to another valley.”
Chen Guoshi is very familiar with the situation in the mountains.
In his words, when we were hunting in the early years, they knew exactly what was on which hilltop.
These experiences are passed down from the older generation.
There are rules on which mountain top you can camp on and where you can camp on the top of the mountain.
And each guide’s camping location in the mountain is actually different, and they all have their own chosen location.
Some people even leave some supplies near their chosen camping location.
It's not anything expensive, maybe a piece of compressed biscuit or a bottle of water or a lighter.
But don’t underestimate these things.
At critical moments, this can save lives.
No one had any objection to Lao Chen’s arrangement.
The people here at Beiliangshan Police Station already know that the situation in the mountains is complex and changeable, especially climate change, which can change at any time.
You must be careful when you get here.
Lu Chuan and Li Donglin are not radical and adventurous people.
Although solving crimes is very important, your own safety should still be the priority.
Time seems to pass faster in the mountains than outside.
You could still see the bright sun shining high on the top of the mountain just now, but when everyone climbed down from the top of the mountain, they could no longer see the sun. Not only was it pitch black at the bottom of the valley, and they couldn't see their fingers, but they seemed to have entered. into the dark night.
"It's like this in the mountains. Although the sun has not set outside, the surrounding mountains have blocked the sunlight. We will camp here today."
The place where Lao Chen took everyone to camp, it was obvious at first glance It had been lived in before.
But it seems like a long time.
"The last time I came in was half a year ago. I will light a fire later."
There are dense plants around the campsite, but the campground is clean.
Li Hao, director of the Beiliangshan Police Station, commanded several young men in the post to set up tents.
“The campground is surrounded by mature soil, which has been burned by fire, and no grass grows.”
The humidity at different altitudes in the valley is also different. In fact, the humidity at the top of the mountain is lower. The valley has the highest humidity.
But it is impossible for everyone to camp on the top of the mountain, not to mention whether there is a place. Even if there is a place, at night, the cold wind blows from the top of the mountain, and no one can bear it.
