After a simple rest, Lin Qiushuang took out the missing person's personal belongings packed in evidence bags from her bag and looked at Yu Yueming: "Can you try to track it with smell?"

Yu Yueming shook his ears with some depression.

“…I’ll try.”

Although he has not fully accepted the fact that "he has become a dog", since he has a keen sense of smell from canines, he does not resist the behavior of taking advantage of this advantage.

He tried to sniff the scarf and gloves. Because he was not used to the completely different olfactory experience of canines and humans, it took him a while to distinguish the scent of humans in the object.

Following the smell, he turned around and soon stopped beside a railing on the edge of the cliff.

"The smell of people on the railings, and the smell of blood."

If you observe carefully, you will find large patches of dark red marks on the wooden railings. Even if you do not have olfactory assistance, as long as you observe carefully, you can still find this information with the naked eye.

Lin Qiushuang asked: "Whose smell is it?"

Yu Yueming carefully distinguished for a while and answered uncertainly: "It seems that there are all, but it should be that woman smells more."

"Can you be sure it's human blood?"

This problem immediately stumped Yu Yueming.

"……I have no idea."

He had never used this body to smell the blood of any creature. His sense of smell during human period was not sharp, so how could he tell so much?

"Let's assume it's human blood first."

Lin Qiushuang stepped forward and touched the railing, looked carefully at the traces on it, and speculated: "It seems that someone hit it, and there are signs of collision on the railing."

Immediately, she took out the map and explained: "The information I have equipped with shows that the previous search and rescue team found blood on this platform and under the cliff. However, because the blood was interrupted, it was impossible to track it as a clue."

Under the cliff... Yu Yueming looked down. The cliff was about three stories high, with some messy branches extending sporadically in the middle. The bottom was quite empty. There was a river a few meters ahead from the bottom of the cliff. The specific depth of the water was not seen from the top, and only the water flow was seen to be a little turbulent.

He looked at the railing carefully again. The highest part of the railing here is roughly the chest of an adult, and there are quite a gap between the crossbars. If you just slipped accidentally, you should not fall out of the railing, but it is easy to climb out or drill out.

"Do we want to go down and take a look?" Qi Yuanze's body stuck out of the railing, looking eager to try. "Didn't you buy a hiking rope before? Just tie it to the railing here and you can climb down directly."

Climbing down? Yu Yueming looked at the steep cliff and didn't think it was a good idea.

And... he looked at his claws and really didn't feel that he had the ability to climb down the cliff with a rope. This world is not friendly to dogs.

However, the person who made the idea seemed very motivated and had already started looking for ropes to turn over his backpack.

This man looked a little smart, but why did he keep being so reckless when he acted? Just as Yu Yueming wanted to stop him, Lin Qiushuang spoke first.

"No need, it's too dangerous for ordinary people to climb."

Qi Yuanze quickly grasped the wrong point: "It's okay, I can climb down."

"But they can't climb." Lin Qiushuang pointed to the remaining two people decisively, then shook the map again, "There is a small path from the campsite to reach the bottom of the cliff, there is no need to take risks."

——

Taking a ready-made road is obviously much easier than finding a way to go directly down the cliff. However, this incident also reminded Yu Yueming that he cannot use human tools normally in his current appearance, and it will be very troublesome if he encounters a situation where he must use tools such as ropes in the future.

This is not something he has the ability to solve now, so he can only keep this in mind first.

They soon found blood under the cliff. But unlike before, this time, while smelling the blood, Yu Yueming also smelled a strange smell.

It was an indescribable, sticky, sweet mixed with candy, mixed with the smell of rotten fruit, mixed with sweetness and rotten smell, which was disgusting.

Yu Yueming turned his head away in disgust and made a dry retching expression.

"…There is the smell of the flesh in the fruit of the sacred tree."

"Fruit?" Lin Qiushuang repeated for a while, and squatted down and picked up a stone and smelled it. "Indeed, you can vaguely smell a little."

It seems that the smell is indeed very strong, and even humans can tell it.

The blood and the smell of the remaining flesh overlapped with each other, extending all the way to the riverside and disappearing into the river.

Lin Qiushuang looked at the map: "The marks on the map show that the depth of this river is about one meter."

She looked up at the location of the cliff again. Before she came down, she marked the blood-stained railings with cloth strips in advance to facilitate her to observe under the cliff.

"The branches on the cliff have unnatural breaking marks. It seems that the missing person once fell down and hung up the branch. The information says that the blood of the two people was found here. The amount of blood was fatal. Even if it averaged to the two people, it was at least seriously injured. In this case, why did the missing persons go to a river several meters away from the fall point?"

Although it was a questionable tone, she didn't seem to have any answers, but was just asking questions to the newbies.

"Probably murder?" Qi Yuanze replied first, "One of them pushed the other person down and came here to eliminate the evidence. As a result, the man who fell off the cliff was not dead. He fled into the river desperately and wanted to escape by the water. Judging from the injuries, the victim should not be saved. The murderer found that the matter was getting big and did not dare to come out. This logic is very smooth, right?"

"What I found here are the bloodstains of two people." Lin Qiushuang reminded.

"Then it's changed to the two of them having a fight before, and the victim was stained with blood from the murderer, which is quite reasonable." Qi Yuanze insisted on his assumption.

"There is a small dam downstream of the river here. If the victim dies unfortunately and the body goes down the water, it will be stopped by the dam." Lin Qiushuang reminded again.

"What if that happens, the murderer carried the victim's body to the shore and hid it in the mountains and forests together."

"The premise of this assumption is that a person who is mostly unfamiliar with the forests has been in the mountains for more than ten days without being discovered by the search and rescuers. This possibility is very low."

"It's possible anyway. Moreover, the search and rescuer found out, what else do we need to do?"

Yu Yueming listened speechlessly as Qi Yuanze actively involved in tasks that did not belong to him and forcibly rationalize the story, while turning his attention to the other side.

Although the other party's speculation is more or less a little credible, if you consider the matter with the simplest thinking... Since the traces have disappeared on the river bank and the dam downstream has not stopped the body, the missing person may have hit the shore opposite. Anyway, I can't guess the result here, so why not go to the opposite side to investigate first.

This river is five or six meters wide. Yu Yueming didn't want to go into the water and swim, so he began to think about how to cross the river.

"Why, decided to check it out?"

Lin Qiushuang ended the conversation over there at some time and walked to him.

"Yes." Yu Yueming nodded, "I just don't know how to get over..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Qiushuang take two steps back, bow slightly, and jump, like an agile antelope, landing lightly on the other side of the river with a standard movement like a professional player.

Yu Yueming swallowed the rest silently.

From this perspective, he seems to be able to get by as well?

Thinking about the attribute value on the panel I saw before, and holding the idea of ​​"the worst thing is that I can fall into the water", Yu Yueming retreated to the edge of the cliff, helped to run, and leaped hard-

The body was more flexible than he thought. Almost subconsciously, he fine-tuned the posture of his limbs in the air, and landed on the other side of the river smoothly and easily with a feline-like movement.

Before he could feel emotional, a very faint but still sweet smell floated into his nose.
