Chapter 491: Strange Reaction

“This is too unusual.” Yun Xiangxiang walked around the forest with Li Xiangling. They did see a pile of dead branches. It must have been picked up by Pang Yan.

“There are traces of falling here, but there are no traces of dragging. The person who brought Pang Yan from here to the front must have been very strong.”

Li Xiangling looked at the scene. Pang Yan was carried forward. As she spoke, Li Xiangling walked forward, as if following the train of thought that was used to carry Pang Yan to the place where he was thrown.

“There are no obvious injuries or pain on Pang Yan’s body, so this person did not use much strength to throw him down.” Yun Xiangxiang recalled squatting at the spot where Pang Yan was found. There were traces of grass being pressed down, but it was not very serious.

“He placed Pang Yan here very gently.” Li Xiangling reached out to fiddle with the soft grass that was pressed down but did not break.

Who would carry Pang Yan from there to here, and then he would put Pang Yan here very carefully?

From this action, it could be seen that this person had no malice toward Pang Yan, and he was bringing Pang Yan back to the village.

“Maybe we were wrong.” Yun Xiangxiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “Someone knocked Pang Yan unconscious and has an unspeakable secret, and the person who hurt Pang Yan was discovered before he could do anything. This person saved Pang Yan!”

“So there are two possibilities.” Li Xiangling and Yun Xiangxiang thought of the same thing.

“First, the person who hurt Pang Yan and saved Pang Yan is on our side. While this person saved Pang Yan, he also didn’t want the person who hurt Pang Yan to be punished. Therefore, after he saved Pang Yan, he put Pang Yan in this easily discovered place.”

“Second, the person who hurt Pang Yan and saved Pang Yan is a local here. He or she is related to the culprit and doesn’t want the innocent to be hurt. At the same time, he doesn’t want the people who are close to him to be punished by the law.”

“Yes, those are the two possibilities,” Yun Xiangxiang said and quickly searched for traces.

If things really went according to their guess, then the person who saved Pang Yan would definitely find a hidden place to hide.

The first was to prevent the person who hurt Pang Yan from making a comeback. The second was to be worried that Pang Yan would be left here for a long time without being discovered and encounter other mishaps.

This person was a person with a conscience and responsibility. Moreover, from his actions of letting go of Pang Yan, it could be seen that his thoughts were very meticulous.

“I need to be able to see this place and conceal myself. If someone comes here, he can leave without leaving a trace….”

Yun Xiangxiang recalled that Li Xiangling had locked onto the same place almost at the same time. That was the hillside. Why didn’t they place Pang Yan on a more eye-catching road.

It was because this hillside could conceal one’s own view. Due to the uniqueness of the mountain range, which blocked one’s view, one could see more of the ravine here.

The two of them ran over quickly. Sure enough, they found very serious trampling marks there, but there was nothing else beneficial.

Yun Xiangxiang muttered. “If he confirms Pang Yan’s safety here, how will he leave?”

He had to leave immediately. Otherwise, it was possible that some smart people would immediately connect the dots. After all, he was still guilty of being a thief. Regardless of whether he was a local or someone who was with them, he was definitely not a repeat offender.

Without such a strong psychological quality, he would not stay for too long. Perhaps he would be relieved when he saw Shen Tuo running over.

“I prefer the second option.” Li Xiangling turned around and looked at the only way to go down from the back and take a detour.

“Only the people here can understand the geographical environment so well.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded in agreement.

“So we only need to go to the Union Village Party Secretary and gather all the villagers to ask about the time when Shen Tu appeared. If anyone stands behind the mountain and sees someone passing by or standing on the mountain in the distance, they will know who saved Pang Yan.”

Someone must have been spread out behind this mountain in that time period. Because they had gone around a mountain, it gave people a psychological sense of distance. Therefore, the people behind the mountain probably thought that Pang Yan’s accident was not in the same area as theirs.

“It seems that the two beautiful detectives already know the cause and effect….” Qi Juan comforted the others before rushing over.

Lu Jin was also with him. Yun Xiangxiang looked at Li Xiangling before saying. “We’ll go to the village party secretary in private and explain this to him. Let him go and find this person. We Won’t push him too far.”

The village party secretary was in his fifties. He seemed to be a very shrewd person, so he should understand their intentions.

Unexpectedly, when this old man heard their words, he fell silent.

This reaction made them a little confused. After all, before Pang Yan woke up, this old man was also worried that they would leave and let the people of the village bear the injustice. He even personally came to Qi Juan to discuss it.

It was obvious that this old man felt that it was unlikely that the people of their village had done something. Even if it was done by the people of their village, he had said that he must find out. He could not let him hide and harm others.

Now that the truth was about to be revealed, his appearance had changed.

“Uncle He, do you know who it is?” Yun Xiangxiang asked tentatively.

The old man was stunned. He could not hide his emotions on his simple face. It was obvious that Yun Xiangxiang’s probing was very successful.

He was on the other side of the mountain that day. He saw the person who saved Pang Yan leave with his own eyes. He knew who it was.

“Uncle He, what you saw was the person who saved him. He is a good person. We don’t distinguish between good and bad.” Yun Xiangxiang continued. “We just want to know who he saved Captain Pang from.”

Qi Juan also nodded. “Captain Pang was not injured. Once the truth is out, she will not pursue the matter. We will not travel thousands of miles to report the case.”

He only wanted the truth and peace of mind. He wanted to give Pang Yan an explanation and let the volunteers ease their worries.

Otherwise, everyone would be suffering the next day. Perhaps the villagers would suspect that they were bad people and it would not be good for them to guard against each other.

“I know.” The old man sighed deeply. He lowered his head so that no one could see his expression clearly. “Can you treat this as if it didn’t happen? I swear on my life that none of you good-hearted people will be harmed. You will definitely be able to leave safely. This time, it was just an accident….”

The old man might have known that he was asking too much, but he still said it, but his voice became softer and softer.

This made Qi Juan and the others even more puzzled. Whether it was this old man or the person who saved Pang Yan, why were they protecting the culprit?

“Uncle He, is this person someone you can’t afford to offend?” Qi Juan felt that it was impossible for this person to be related to two people at the same time.

In that case, the only reason why they had to keep it a secret was that this person was not someone they could afford to offend.
