Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Those platforms were spacious and sunny, offering a good view, making them the most likely places for monkeys to play with their loot for a long time.

At the same time, Li Younan also observed the rain erosion marks on the rock wall. If the document bag fell from a height, it might have been carried by grooves and water flows on the rock wall to a specific area.

Pay special attention to searching through the bottoms of these collection ditches, gentle slopes, or areas covered by vegetation.

After recording this information, Li Younan notified the officers through the walkie-talkie to conduct a targeted search.

Thus, from morning until almost evening, all the officers were somewhat exhausted, yet they still hadn’t found anything.

The sudden intrusion of these humans made the monkeys nervous. They were watching the human activities below with caution from the cliffs above.

But to be honest, the document bag is quite conspicuous and not particularly difficult to find.

Under Li Younan’s guidance, the search area had been narrowed down very precisely.

At this time, the police officers participating in this search mission were still somewhat complaining internally as they searched.

They had been working overtime for several days because of this matter. Even though they now had an expert’s guidance, Li Younan still looked too young to them, and they had some doubts about his instructions.

A police assistant named Xiaozhang, following an officer named Sorlung Tendro, couldn’t help but complain, ”Brother Suolang, how much longer do we have to mess around? There are so many mosquitoes.”

As he spoke, he tugged up his pant legs, ”I’m already wearing ’black stockings’.”

Sorlung Tendro looked down and indeed.

Xiaozhang had trudged through several mud pits, and his legs were so caked with dirt it looked like he was wearing stockings.

Sorlung Tendro laughed out loud, ”Is that all? Back when I used to chase fugitives with the detective team, we stayed in the woods for five or six days, and I’d come out covered head-to-toe in ’black stockings’!”

”Brother Suolang, do you think we can really find it this way?”

”Even if we can’t find it, we still have to search. It’s our duty.”

”Brother Suolang, I mean let’s rest here a while. When time’s up, we can pack up and head back. I doubt we’ll find it.”

He had just finished speaking when Sorlung Tendro knocked him on the head.

”The area assigned to us isn’t big, just consider it as taking a walk. Do you find staying in the station all day interesting? Getting out and about is refreshing as well.”

Xiaozhang, failing to slack off, chuckled awkwardly, ”I, I was just kidding.”

Just then, Sorlung Tendro suddenly stopped in his tracks.

”What’s wrong, Brother Suolang?”

Sorlung Tendro’s expression turned serious, ”Look at that thing hanging in the tree over there—doesn’t it look like a document bag?”

Xiaozhang was taken aback and looked toward a tall tree in the distance, and it really was.

”Huh? We found it, we really found it!”

...

When the message that the document bag had been found came through on the walkie-talkie, everyone cheered.

Soon enough, everyone involved in the search gathered under that tree.

Li Younan looked up at the document bag in the tree and carefully observed the surroundings. Not far from there was a cliff where one of the monkey groups frequently moved up and down.

He silently pondered some thoughts in his mind, then glanced at the document bag in the tree, raising his eyebrows slightly.

But at this moment, all the officers were immersed in the excitement of finally finding this item, so Li Younan refrained from voicing his thoughts.

At this time, Sorlung Tendro, who was leading the team, quickly called to report that the document bag had been found.

Before long, Professor Zhang and his assistant also arrived here, their voices slightly trembling, ”Thank you for your hard work, thank you.”

Sorlung Tendro then cast his gaze onto Li Younan and said, ”Teacher Li, you’re amazing! You said we could find the document bag around here, and we didn’t believe it, but we really did find it!”

At this moment, the officer named Xiaozhang turned a bit red. He had just been persuading Sorlung Tendro to slack off, and had Sorlung Tendro really listened to him, they definitely wouldn’t have found the document bag.

That would have been a real missed opportunity.

It was then he finally understood why someone could be an officer while he was just an assistant.

Everyone focused their eyes on that tree, as the next step was to retrieve the document bag from up there.

It was a tall tree, reaching about twenty or thirty meters, with the bag hanging roughly halfway up. A monkey was curiously and warily watching the people below from the tree.

There were naturally some officers skilled at tree climbing in the team, and a police assistant volunteered to climb up.

Seeing this, Li Younan naturally didn’t want to overstep his bounds.

The young officer climbed up with considerable effort, and just as he was about to get the document bag, a monkey suddenly darted in front of him, baring its teeth and startling him so much he nearly fell.

Everyone below gasped in unison.

Fortunately, the young officer steadied himself and, regaining his composure, bared his own teeth at the monkey. At this moment, the monkey seemed to understand that the officer’s goal was the document bag. It nimbly reached the bag, picked it up.

Everyone below gasped again, especially Professor Zhang, who was so anxious he was hopping mad.

The monkey picked up the document bag, teasingly baring its teeth at the officer.
