"Yes." Feng nodded, "These are the tooth marks of two predators."
Zhang Zhuxun thought silently. A piece of meat had been eaten by two animals. It would not be strange if the corpse was randomly discarded in the wild, but this place was obviously the nest of some kind of carnivorous beast.
All carnivores have a strong sense of territory. Once another creature steps into the carnivore's territory, they will become extremely aggressive.
Not to mention that it is now the cold season, and it is difficult for carnivores to find food. Whatever intrudes into the territory is likely to be hunted, so this kind of symbiotic behavior is basically impossible.
"Look here again." Feng pulled out a femur and half of a broken pelvis from the pile of bones.
Putting the two things on the ground and putting them together, Feng pointed to the femoral neck and said, "The joint between the femoral head and the pelvis was bitten off. It was very simple. Such a big pelvis was bitten off directly."
One-fourth, it can be seen that the bite force of this beast is very strong, I guess it should be a bear or snow leopard-like animal with a short snout and wide forehead."
Feng sniffed the air again and affirmed: "It's fishy and smelly. Although the smell is strong, it's not new. This should be an abandoned bear cave. It's been a while. Although it's inaccessible, there are still desperate people.
Hunters will come to this range to hunt. Snow leopards have a keen sense of smell and are highly vigilant. They will not live in any place that is popular."
"Besides, bears don't eat so carefully and cleanly. This second thing has a high IQ. I think this kind of tooth mark is probably from a wolf."
Zhang Zhuoxun frowned slightly and raised his hand to cover his nose, "You mean, the wolf picked up the bear's leftover food? But even if the bear abandoned the hole, the smell here is so strong that the wolf would not be able to take risks."
Feng shrugged and said he was helpless, "I don't know about that. It's possible that the owner here died outside, or maybe there was a lone, hungry wolf who took the risk."
The walkie-talkie hanging in the pocket of his coat rang again, and Zhang Haixing's urging voice came, "You two, stop dawdling outside, there are new discoveries inside."
The intercom was on when Zhang Zhuxun and the others were talking just now, so Zhang Haixing and the others could also hear Feng's analysis.
Zhang Zhuoxun and the two walked quickly inside. There was a large space inside the cave, and various strange-shaped stones were piled randomly. Feng found many traces of bears rubbing on them, as well as dry excrement left at the bottom.
The deeper you go in, the stronger the fishy stench becomes. It's all fermented cadaverine and putrescine from decaying matter. It makes people's eyes dazzled by the fumes, and Zhang Chuxun even regrets following him.
But Feng's expression became more and more excited. He looked left and right like a hound stalking prey. Sometimes he squatted in a corner to observe feces, and sometimes he pointed at several places and said there were new marks made by wolves' urine.
"Will wolves use the smell of bears to treat this place as their new den?" Zhang Zhu knocked on the intercom and asked Zhang Haixing, "Have you found any wolf cubs in there?"
Just after asking, the cave turned around and the bottom of the cave was seen. Zhang Haixing was squatting under a huge stone, her hands were busy with something, and she held the flashlight with two long bones tied together and leaning against the stone.
.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Haixing looked back and replied: "There are no cubs, only feces, but they are from adult wolves."
Zhang Zhuoxun and the two approached and saw Zhang Haixing trying to piece together the scattered bones on the ground. She dropped a large piece of bone at Feng's feet and said, "Look at this."
Feng took a look under the light and found that it was the left shoulder blade, with many fine gnawing marks on it. "It's similar to the tooth marks on the bones outside, but this one has only been eaten by wolves."
Then he let out a sigh and said a little surprised: "Why are there still bullets stuck on it?"
There were two bullets stuck in the upper corner of the shoulder blade and in the hollow. They were not shotgun shells used by ordinary hunters, but single-shot rifle bullets.
Zhang Haixing wiped off the dirt on his hands, stood up, pointed at the basically assembled skeleton on the ground, and said, "I haven't found the skull, but look at the skeleton with such a large outline, I suspect it may have been in the original cave.
That bear's, it may have been injured while being hunted and escaped back here, and finally died due to excessive blood loss and was picked up by wolves and eaten."
"It's possible, but who will hunt this bear?" Zhang Zhuoxun wondered, "The average hunter doesn't have a gun that can shoot such bullets."
He used his antler hunting knife to fiddle with the mess in the crevices of the cave, picked it out with the blade and threw it next to the bones. "This is the remaining bear skin, it's too rotten to look at."
Zhang Haixing looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you guys from Kangbalo hit you?"
Zhang Zhuxun curled his lips in disdain at her suspicion and retorted, "Dan and the others' marksmanship is much more accurate than this. The heart of a bear is so easy to find. When they hunt, they will definitely choose to kill it with a heart shot. You can tell by looking at this bullet.
Many people fired their guns in the confusion, and they happened to hit the bear in the shoulder."
Since it is hunting, there is no reason to leave a dying bear without chasing it. Even if the injured black bear goes crazy because of fear, you can still follow the blood stains left on the snow. There will always be times when the bear runs with all its strength.
Then he added: "But then I suddenly figured out that those people were not hunters at all, nor were they hunting for anything. They were probably walking in the snow-capped mountains nearby, and they did something that alerted them.
This bear was spotted by them when they came out to check the situation, so in panic, they shot randomly to scare the bear away."
Hearing this, Zhang Haixing's eyes suddenly became sharp, "That is to say, a group of people also entered the snow-capped mountains half a month ago!"
She immediately turned around and stared at Feng coldly, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Zhang Zhuxun also looked at Feng with great interest, and said quietly: "Please be lenient if you confess."
Feng's face changed greatly and he hurriedly explained, "How is this possible? My men would never have done this. All the people I brought were killed by you in the back mountain that day. If they were really sent by me, why should I follow you?"
I’ll analyze and analyze it here and tell you directly if it’s okay.”
"It's precisely because you don't know what happened after they entered the mountain that you need to analyze it." Zhang Zhuoxun raised his eyebrows and brought the lamp closer to shine on his face.
On the other side, Zhang Haixing pulled out the dagger, put it on Feng's neck, and said coldly: "Besides us, the only people who know the route and can walk to this place are the only people from your Anjing company.
Even if it wasn't sent by you, it certainly has something to do with you."
Seeing the questioning attitude of the two of them, Feng's eyes flashed, and then he lowered his head and refused to argue with them anymore, "I didn't do it and I won't admit it. Since you won't believe anything I say, then I won't believe it."
There’s nothing more to say.”
Zhang Zhuxun thought his stubborn attitude was a bit strange, so he simply ignored him and asked Zhang Haixing: "If these people are really Germans, what do you think their purpose of entering the snow-capped mountains will be?"
"What else could it be? It must be something deep in the snow-capped mountains." The knife in Zhang Haixing's hand came closer and he looked at Feng Dao with murderous intent, "I don't mind killing you directly here, even if I don't
Star map, we can also find the place through other methods, but it is just a little more troublesome."
Feng subconsciously hid back, "Even if they are really Germans, they will not be my team members. You have to know that the team sent by our headquarters is likely to be more than just mine. Our tasks are different. In order to
To avoid leaking secrets, there will be basically no contact with each other.”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhuxun suddenly turned his head and stared at Feng, staring at him until the hair on his back stood up, and stammered: "How...how..."
"I suddenly felt a little strange, why didn't they kill the bear?"
Zhang Zhuxun's voice was tight and his eyes were cold, "They may have accidentally alarmed the bear, but with Jingjing Company's weapons and equipment capabilities, the teams dispatched were basically more than ten people and well-equipped.
Weapons, even if they fired randomly, could have easily killed the bear, but they didn't do that."
"Why?" Zhang Haixing also realized something was wrong and frowned, "Did they let the bear go on purpose?!"
A member who can be assigned such a near-death mission must be very capable. At least he is of Nick's level of force. How could he not kill a mere bear?
"Unless they have a very urgent task, and the time is so urgent that they don't even have time to finish the finishing work." The chill in Zhang Zhuxun's eyes gradually leaked out, "This task cannot be the Bronze Gate. Half a month ago, it was Wu
When Xie first came to Medog, it was also the time when all the forces gathered in the Lama Temple."
"What that team wants to deal with is the Kangbalo people hiding deep in the snowy mountains!"
Zhang Haixing's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is this possible? Are they crazy?"
Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously pushed Zhang Haixing away and ran out of the cave.
Zhang Zhuxun, who was caught up in two steps, was kicked and hit hard against the stone wall. He almost fainted and woke up from the pain.
Zhang Zhuoxun grabbed his collar and asked fiercely: "Tell me honestly, are their targets the Kangbalo people? What do they want to do?"
Feng struggled to swallow the fishy sweetness in his throat. He felt an extremely strong murderous intention from Zhang Shuxun, and his hands and feet became weak uncontrollably. "No... I don't know. I don't know anything. They are not the same as me."
From a department, I didn’t lie, their tasks were directly issued by the head of the headquarters, and I have no qualifications to contact them at all.”
Zhang Zhuxun's hand slowly moved to his neck, his fingertips tightened and he kept exerting force.
Feng saw the distorted reflection of his own face in his eyes, that cold hand was like a life-threatening Rakshasa's ghost pincer, and the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen at this moment.
