Chapter 169 Life or Death?
"How do you see things with an astronomical telescope?" Cen Lian took the telescope and found that he had not added a positive prism, which meant that Tang Hua saw something inverted.
When he tried it himself, he realized that Tang Hua actually saw the white shadow in such a narrow field of view.
"At which angle did you see it?" He tried for a long time but couldn't find where the white thing Tang Hua mentioned was.
The field of view of the astronomical telescope is relatively narrow, and it is very troublesome to move. Cen Lian even suspected that Tang Hua had some innate holy body that could detect criminals, so he could see something at a glance.
Tang Hua recalled for a long time and finally determined which direction he had just picked up to see.
Cen Lian silently installed the positive prism, and then carefully adjusted the position according to the direction Tang Hua said. It took a full fifteen minutes to find what he had just seen.
It was indeed white, but he couldn't see what it was.
Cen Lian adjusted the magnification and focal length, and finally saw what it was.
Under the dark night sky, a woman in a white dress was hung on the top of the opposite mountain, with her eyes wide open and slightly rolled up, uncertain whether she was still alive.
He couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little cold on his back.
Seeing this scene in the middle of the night, even if he was a policeman, he felt extremely horrified.
This person had no criminal record, and he couldn't confirm his identity immediately.
"There is indeed something," Cen Lian put down the telescope with mixed feelings, "Brother Qi, do you know what is on the opposite mountain?"
Qi Yan knew something was wrong when he saw Cen Lian's expression, and he began to regret bringing Cen Lian and Tang Hua together for hiking.
People still have to believe in metaphysics.
Although he thought so in his heart, his movements did not slow down at all.
When others noticed what he was doing, Qi Yan had already found the name of the next mountain.
"That direction should be Wanhua Peak, which has never been developed on this mountain. If we start from here to Wanhua Peak, there is no main road to take. There may be a small path made by villagers." Once Qi Yan entered the working state, he seemed tense, which was completely different from the relaxed feeling he gave when he was chatting with acquaintances when he was climbing the mountain.
Forensic doctor Lin had heard the movement here a long time ago. When she came over, she saw Tang Hua still holding the telescope and looking at something, but she was very excited.
"I just saw her seem to move a little, maybe she is not dead yet!" Tang Hua did not dare to put down the telescope, fearing that he would not be able to find the position just now.
Hearing the movement here, the other people who were setting up camp gathered over.
There was no way to hide it at this time, Cen Lian simply told them that they saw a woman tied up and her life or death was unknown on the opposite mountain through the telescope.
"What should we do, call the police?" College student Huang Yufan was the one who reacted the fastest. He had already picked up his mobile phone to call the police.
Cen Lian looked around, "You call the police first, we may have to go there as soon as possible. If the person is still alive, there may be hope."
"Let me see, the person should still be breathing." Lin Xiangqi took the telescope from Tang Hua. In fact, the figure opposite was not very clear under the telescope, but the face could be roughly seen.
She just took a simple look and confirmed that the person was still alive.
"Wait here after you call the police, we will go there now." Cen Lian made a prompt decision.
If the victim still has a chance of survival but they delayed time, it would be absolutely unforgivable.
As a policeman, Cen Lian and his team could not continue to watch here.
But their actions caused others to stop them.
"It's late at night, you are unfamiliar with the place, it's easy to get lost in the mountains," Liu Jiaming, who organized the event, was very worried about their safety, "Let's wait here for the police to come."
"They are already here," Qi Yan suddenly stood up, "We are."
The atmosphere on the top of the mountain became a little subtle after Qi Yan said this, and Cen Lian could feel that all eyes were focused on them.
"We have similar experience, don't worry." After saying this, Cen Lian picked up his bag and prepared to set off.
The other people on the top of the mountain were stunned by the sudden change.
But after Cen Lian and his friends left, a few people still followed them with gritted teeth.
"We have rich hiking experience and will not hold you back," Huang Yufan followed the closest. "If there is any situation over there, we can also help."
Cen Lian was not sure whether they could help or cause trouble, but it was a waste of time to continue arguing with them, so he didn't say anything and just looked at Qi Yan.
"You pay attention to their safety." After Cen Lian's instructions, he rushed to the opposite peak at the fastest speed.
Although the peak that Tang Hua saw and the peak they were on belonged to the same mountain, there was a long distance between the two peaks.
Just like the original name of this mountain.
Jiuding Mountain was originally called Jiuding Mountain because it has nine peaks. The one they climbed was the main peak, Lotus Peak. Only this main peak had been developed for a period of time, so the road was relatively easy to walk on.
The remaining peaks needed to be bypassed from the middle of the mountain along the narrow paths left by some local herbal farmers when they collected herbs.
Qi Yan looked at the map and quickly determined the direction.
"I think they are just curious now," Qu Zihan whispered to Yuan Chenxi after walking breathlessly for a while, "If we really run into something later, I don't know whether I should take care of them or chase the criminals."
"There is no way. If they must follow us, we can't stop them." Yuan Chenxi's physical energy consumption was not very large, and he even had the mind to observe the hikers, "If there was no signal in the mountains, maybe someone would broadcast live on the spot."
Qu Zihan deeply agreed with this.
Perhaps because it has always been human nature to join in the fun, these people were still whispering to each other when they followed them.
However, this kind of communication could not be heard after Cen Lian and his team went deep into the dense forest.
"Shake off?" Wu Qiushan turned to look at Cen Lian after feeling much quieter, "They shouldn't get lost."
"Not really," Cen Lian looked at his feet, "our footprints are clearly visible."
Wu Qiushan had been thinking about the woman in white on the top of the mountain, and for a moment ignored the fact that the rain in the mountains had just stopped.
"I wonder if we have to take the same road we took to get to Wanhua Peak," Tang Hua muttered, "Maybe the villager I saw wasn't the one selling things."
This cannot be confirmed for the time being.
The pace of the people was getting faster and faster. The night in early April was very cold. The woman in white in the telescope was wearing a thin skirt and was still hanging on the top of the peak. It was hard to say whether she would have any signs of life in two hours.
