Chapter 287: Identify the suspect

After understanding Liu Wei from Ao Changshou's mouth, the police came over and asked, "What did you find?"
Liu Wei said affirmatively: "According to your inference, is it a beast committing a crime?"
"Do you see any beasts?" the policeman asked.
Liu Wei shook his head thoughtfully. "I haven't found any footprints yet. I can't be sure for the time being, but I found a very interesting place!"
"Tell me!" The policeman crouched down.
Liu Wei pointed to the trace in front of him, "From here, the trace of the roe deer being dragged is getting shallower."
Reaching into the snow, Liu Wei showed it to the police and the audience in the live broadcast room, "The thickness of the snow has not changed, so it can be concluded that the weight of the roe deer is reduced!"
The police nodded. He felt that Liu Wei's analysis made sense. The weight reduction of the roe deer caused the pressure on the snow to decrease, and naturally the traces left behind would become shallower.
According to his own reasoning, Liu Wei shaved off the white snow around his body and found the roe deer's fur, blood stains and some minced meat.
"Sure enough!" Liu Wei nodded. "After the beast bite the roe deer in the pasture, he did not immediately choose to eat, but dragged it to a place hundreds of meters away from the pasture to start eating. The purpose is to prevent humans from discovering it. ."
"Crying sun, what a beast? So clever!"
"Awei, quickly solve the case, I want to know the truth!"
"The effect of this show is exploding!"
The audience was violently discussing, and Liu Wei frowned. He did not think it was the innate cleverness of the beast, but worried that it would come out after practice.
According to Meng Deren's description, he has lost several roe deer several times this year. In the three days before yesterday to today, two consecutive roe deer losses have occurred.
Obviously, the beast has been able to catch the roe deer from the pasture very skillfully. It is very possible to use Meng Deren's pasture as his hunting ground.
Half of Meng Deren’s own analysis is correct. Beasts will not actively approach humans, nor will they venture to steal human animals unless sly small mammals such as foxes, but they are not capable of catching roe deer prey.
From this, it is possible to draw an important message that large carnivores living in virgin forests began to deal with human livestock due to lack of food.
The reason for the lack of food may be seasonal changes, or it may be the impact of human activities.
On the way when he came, Liu Wei observed that the local residents were surrounded by pastures, and some even cut off the linking belt of the original forest, resulting in forest distribution. This environment has a huge impact on the large carnivores living in the forest.
Liu Wei is thinking.
"Come and see, there are footprints here!"
The police who walked to the edge of the deep forest knew it.
Liu Wei recovered and ran up.
The footprints left on the snow are not very obvious, and the outline can be seen clearly. There are gaps in the five toes and the soles of the feet, which are typical of the feline soles.
Liu Wei squatted down and pinched with his fingers, "The length is about six centimeters, it should be a large cat that moves around!"
Speaking of cats, the police immediately thought of the Siberian tiger. In the past two years, photos of wild Siberian tigers have been taken on the border between China and Russia. The tigers have a wide range of activities. The Siberian tiger is the largest sub-family in the tiger subfamily. Species, the scope of activities is more extensive.
"It may be the Siberian Tiger!" the police speculated.
After hearing Meng Deren's body, he was shocked, and he was very scared of tigers. Although he was the descendant of the Oroqen tribe, the best safari, he had not engaged in hunting and started breeding with the older generation since childhood. Some stories about ancestor hunting.
"Really? Don't scare me, comrade police. I have lived here for more than ten years, and I have never seen a tiger!" Meng Deren said nervously, already thinking whether he would move. Anymore?
Liu Wei said affirmatively: "It's not the Siberian Tiger. The feet of the Siberian Tiger are wider than this. The footprints left by the weight of the adult Siberian Tiger should not be so shallow, and I just got out of the broken fence. not easy."
"What is that?" Meng Deren asked.
With his knowledge of cats in his mind, Liu Wei guessed: "It may be a leopard!"
"leopard?"
The policeman wondered, "It can't be a leopard. There are very few leopards in the Northeast, and they were all things that happened many years ago!"
Liu Wei thinks of a species of leopard family that lives in the Far East and Northeast regions of Russia-the Far East Leopard.
However, basically no news of its activities has been heard in China.
In the past two decades, according to the statistics of the World Endangered Animals Rescue Center, the number of leopards in the Far East has never exceeded 100, and has remained at around 40 or 50.
Almost all of them are distributed in the Far East near the coast. No trace of it has been found in the three provinces of Northeast China.
Liu Wei had a strong hunch, but there was no actual evidence to prove his hunch.
He searched again along the snow on the edge of the forest, stopped for more than ten meters, and there was a snow in front of him that was very different from the surrounding.
Obviously, it was planed by something, the surrounding snow was smooth, and there was a lot of protruding here.
Liu Wei reached out and thrown away, he saw something interesting.
"Come and see!" Liu Wei turned back to Meng Deren.
The police followed.
"This... what's going on?" Meng Deren whispered.
When the snowdrift was completely thrown away, a roe deer corpse that had eaten offal and half of its body was revealed.
"Huh~, so disgusting!"
"It's all frozen!"
"The murderer is too cruel!"
"Did you find the body?"
The audience is like watching detective films.
Liu Wei analyzed: "The beast is very clever. He buried the roe deer meat in the snow. It knows that the current temperature can ensure that the body does not rot. When it is hungry, it will definitely return to eat again.
In this way, a lot of effort is saved, and it is not necessary to drag the body back to the cave. This way of storing food again determines that it is not a tiger.
According to the personality of the tiger, either eat the prey directly, leave it in place and wait for it to rot and become food for other animals, or kill the prey and put it in place, go back and call your children to eat together, the tiger has no long distance The habit of carrying food.
And other animals are afraid to move the tiger's food easily. Even if they can steal a few bites from the chicken, they will take the initiative to leave after seeing the tiger.
On the contrary, leopards have the habit of storing food. Brothers, do you remember the leopard we met in Shennongjia? It will put the uneaten food on the tree and enjoy it slowly.
To sum up, I am more convinced that it may be a leopard, and it is very likely that it is a kind of Far Eastern leopard that is almost extinct in China!"
The two policemen glanced at each other, and of course they knew the value of the Far Eastern Leopard.
"Are you sure?" The police asked Liu Wei.
"Don't you know when you see it?"
Liu Wei began to bury the roe deer again.
Meng Deren stopped saying: "What are you doing? I want to carry the rest back, even if I eat myself, there is less loss!"
Liu Wei asked: "Do you still want to figure out the murderer? If you don't know the murderer, the roe deer on your ranch must be lost!"
