School Flower's Perspective Berserker

Chapter 790 Investigation
"Row."

Xu Fan nodded, and immediately left the meeting room with Zhang Shicun.

All the way down the stairs, soon, I saw a jeep driving towards here not far away.

After approaching the two, the jeep stopped with a brake.

"Get in the car."

It can be seen that all the people sitting in the car are Zhang Shicun's group of comrades-in-arms.

Apparently, like Xu Fan, they did not want to see Zhang Shicun undertake these tasks alone.

After Zhang Shicun and Xu Fan got into the car, the jeep drove again and drove directly out of the military area.

There is a short distance from the headquarters of the military region to the border area where the Thorn Squad had an accident.

It would have been past seven o'clock, and by the time the group arrived at their destination, it was already around nine thirty at night.

The jeep had already driven into the forest, and the forest was extremely dark at night. A group of people were only relying on the high-beam car to distinguish the road ahead.

Fortunately, this group of people are all experienced special fighters, otherwise, in this environment, the car has already overturned.

Stumbled, and soon, the jeep stopped.

From the location marked on the map, it can be seen that this will be the place where the Thorn team lost contact that day.

"Get out of the car."

After arriving at the destination, it was time to start investigating the situation. Xu Fan said hello, led the way, and jumped out of the jeep.

Stepping on the muddy ground with fallen leaves, Xu Fan squinted his eyes and looked around.

This area is a dense forest that has never been visited by people on the border. It will be night again, and it will be even more silent.

The chirping of insects and birds, plus the howling of animals rippling from a distance from time to time, is all there is.

Xu Fan diffused his consciousness and started to walk around, searching for clues.

This dense forest area looks ordinary, but in fact, it is the border connecting China and Myanmar.

Often, there will be drug dealers who want to cross from here and enter the territory of China.

The Thorn Squad patrols here to stop this kind of behavior.

Now that the whole team is missing, but it's not due to being hit by a drug dealer. Xu Fan can't help but wonder what they saw to cause such a catastrophe.

"This……"

Xu Fan would walk up to a big tree, and his finger brushed over the trunk, making a deep scratch.

This scratch almost cut off the nearly hundred-year-old tree. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, and it was definitely not caused by bullets.

The inner strength is released outward, which reaffirms Xu Fan's previous thoughts.

The enemies encountered by the Thorn Squad were at least experts in the innate realm.

Following the direction pointed by the scratches, Xu Fan spread his consciousness and searched forward.

Seven days have passed since the incident, and most of the evidence, such as footprints, has become difficult to detect.

Not to mention, in order to break the clues, the other party even cleaned up the traces before leaving.

"Brother Xu Fan, it's really hard to find clues around here..."

Zhang Shicun now walked towards Xu Fan with a flashlight on.

It's really not that he discouraged enthusiasm. He searched the surrounding area at least ten times.

Everything that can be found has been found.

However, these clues left behind are not very useful.

It's impossible to deduce who exactly did it to the Thorn team.

"Don't worry, there will always be something missing."

Xu Fan was not affected by Zhang Shicun's frustration, so he smiled and walked forward.

"This?"

Zhang Shicun stood at the back, saw Xu Fan walk to a place in front, and directly picked up a fallen leaf.

Can Ye Zi still see the way?

The puzzlement in his heart made Zhang Shicun curiously follow.

"Brother Xu Fan, what are you?"

Not sure what Xu Fan was doing, Zhang Shicun asked curiously.

"Look at this leaf."

Xu Fan smiled now, and passed the leaf in his hand to the other party.

"This……"

Zhang Shicun took the leaf, and seeing the situation above, his head swelled violently.

On the leaf, a small hole was scalded...

It was obviously burned by smoking, and even a little bit of soot could be seen on it.

There are countless fallen leaves on the ground, what ability does Xu Fan use to find such a fallen leaf?
Zhang Shicun admired and felt ashamed of his ability to investigate into details.

If Xu Fan hadn't come here, I'm afraid I would never have found these leaves in my whole life.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Fan found a few more leaves, the same as the previous ones, all of which were burned by cigarettes.

Zhang Shicun took these leaves and looked at Xu Fan.

What can these leaves explain?

Xu Fan looked at Zhang Shicun, and explained: "Although it was only one person who fought against the thorn team, but looking at it now, they must be more than one person."

This is where the incident happened, when they collided with the Thorn Squad and soon a fight broke out.

They only sent one person, while the others should have been waiting in place.

Impatiently waiting, someone started smoking.

In order not to leave any clues, they even disposed of the cigarette butts on the ground afterwards.

But these leaves that were blown away by the wind were mixed with many fallen leaves, and they were eager to evacuate, so they naturally had no time to deal with them.

Hearing Xu Fan's explanation, Zhang Shicun's scalp tingled for a while.

That guy took out the entire Thorn Squad by himself, and now he has accomplices, so how difficult is it to deal with?
"Don't worry, his accomplice should not be too powerful."

Seeing Zhang Shicun's sad face, Xu Fan comforted him.

If they were all masters in the innate realm, it would be impossible for the thorn team to escape that far.

"And this, look."

It seemed that he had discovered something again. Seeing Xu Fan walking forward, Zhang Shicun hurriedly followed.

It can be seen that there is a trace on a big tree.

This mark is not deep, it looks like it was drawn out by a whip.

"This one……"

Zhang Shicun recalled that he should have discovered this at the beginning.

But this trace can't explain the problem at all.

"..."

Seeing Zhang Shicun's dejected expression, Xu Fan couldn't help shaking his head.

"It's from the whip, isn't it?"

"Well, it shouldn't be wrong."

Hearing Xu Fan's question, Zhang Shicun nodded in confirmation.

At this time, Xu Fan pointed to the marks left by the whip, and said: "Obviously, this whip was originally intended to whip people, but it fell on the tree after being dodged."

"This mark, you infer, how tall is the person who was drawn?"

"This……"

Zhang Shicun looked at the marks on the tree trunk, frowned and thought.

The height of the trace on the trunk is very low, Zhang Shicun will simulate the action of whipping, and he quickly got the answer.

"Less than 1.5 meters, or even lower..."

Hearing Zhang Shicun's answer, Xu Fan nodded.

"If it's one of our own, why use the whip?"

"This one……"

Another question came up, Zhang Shicun turned his head around and said speculatively: "Could it be that they are not companions, but escorting a group of people?"

"If you are so short, is it a child?"
