Watching Harimu and the others leave, Li Long actually felt somewhat relieved.
Luckily, those two suspects hadn't gone to Harimu's place. Otherwise, they might really have hurt someone.
Of course, they might have gone there, only to be frightened off by how many people Harimu had at home.
Letting his thoughts wander, Li Long pushed his bicycle back to his Winter Camp.
It wasn't completely dark yet. Only then did he notice quite a few things scattered outside his Winter Camp.
There were two Deer Antlers and a sack, with some fritillaria spilled out onto the ground. At a rough estimate, the sack held five or six kilograms of fritillaria, and it was half-dried.
These were things those two had left behind. There was no telling whether they had dug up the fritillaria themselves or robbed someone else.
