The Five-Flower Mountain is a beautiful scenic spot attracting many visitors, but most just hike along the trails. Few venture into the forest off the trails.
Even if some do enter the forest, it's often for quick reasons like this couple, maybe to use the restroom.
Therefore, the forest sees little foot traffic, which provides Lu Chuan and his team with many conveniences for the crime scene investigation.
The traces left by the two young people who went into the forest for a romantic escapade were very obvious.
Other tracks can easily be excluded. Most currently appear to have been left by the perpetrator.
On the way down and up the mountain, the perpetrator touched the surrounding trees multiple times, leaving even some clothing scraps.
On some trees, Lu Chuan and his team collected some clothing fibers.
Of course, fibers alone cannot determine if these belong to the perpetrator or the victim and require lab testing.
