Chapter 272 Get the Clue
Gu Jingchen took out the map given by the other party and looked at it, looked at the position pointed by the arrow on it, looked up again, and walked under a tree.

"Here it is," Gu Jingchen pointed to the mark on the map and showed it to Xia Nuan, "Look, the height of this forest is the same as that in the picture, and the arrow points to the tallest tree, which should be This one."

Xia Nuan felt that what Gu Jingchen said made sense, "But there's nothing here?"

While talking, Xia Nuan looked for a nearby bush, "Could there be something here?"

Not this bush, not that one, and then another...

"Ah!" Xia Nuan suddenly yelled and ran behind Gu Jingchen, "Third Uncle!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Jingchen hugged her, "What did you see?"

"Man, dead man!" Xia Nuan pointed at a bush.

When she was looking for it just now, she saw bones.

Gu Jingchen patted her on the back, "Don't be afraid, I'll go and have a look."

Walking to the bush that Xia Nuan pointed at, Gu Jingchen carefully pushed aside the cover of the bush to look inside.

It is indeed bones.

"This is the body of two people," Gu Jingchen said while researching. "From the structure of the skeleton, it can be seen that this is a man and a woman. If they have not been moved, the two people should have fallen from a high place."

Gu Jingchen looked up at the tree not far from them, "This tree has traces of being cut down, although it has been for many years, but you see, there are scars on it at intervals, indicating that the two people I used to want to climb up a tree."

If a hollow is cut, the foot can step on it, and it will not fall because the trunk is too slippery.

Xia Nuan didn't dare to look at it, "It's just a pile of bones, how can you judge that they fell? What if they were killed?"

"They didn't pose like they were killed."

The corpses decompose for a long time. During this time, the bushes sheltered them, so their bodies should have been untouched.

"Nuannuan, do you remember? The mayor said that the Bertrands who used to take good care of you walked into this wood seven years ago and took a long time to come out."

Xia Nuan nodded.

"I suspect that this is their body. They died here at that time. Qi Yan sent someone to pretend to be the Bertrands and deliberately go to your side to take care of you." This conclusion made Gu Jingchen feel a little bit worried.

So, the person who has been taking care of her all these years is Qi Yan, not the Bertrands?

"But, how did Qi Yan know that the Bertrands were dead?" Xia Nuan asked.

"When they disappeared, people in the small town would definitely look for them. It wasn't difficult for Qi Yan to find out. Moreover, with his ability, it was not difficult for him to move freely in this forest. I think he should have found them at that time. Bertrand and his wife's corpses, that's why they found someone to pretend to be them."

But the person who surprised Gu Jingchen, the person who opposed them, actually knew this place?

Did he lure them here on purpose?

The purpose is to let them know that Qi Yan has paid a lot for Xia Nuan?
So if this person is not Qi Yan, then he is the closest person around Qi Yan.

Gu Jingchen searched the bones, and found that under one of the bones, there seemed to be a piece of paper, which had been placed for a long time, and moss grew on it.

That is to say, the other party has set up the net early in the morning?

Gu Jingchen picked up the note, and there was a simple map on it, and there was a point on the map, not even a Chinese character, let alone a Chinese character, not even a letter.
