Standing at an intersection, He Dawang pointed east, then south. About seventy or eighty meters away, there was a utility pole.
On the utility pole, two security cameras were mounted, one facing north and one south.
These were the cameras that captured the tiger flashing past on its way to Liu Tefeng's house.
Shen Xin looked around and said, "So it came from the west. The tiger must have circled around from the southeast to the west."
The southeast side of the village bordered the mountain forest.
He Dawang nodded. Instead of heading toward Liu Tefeng's house, they walked west.
"Our theory is that Liu Tefeng was probably strolling around the outskirts of the village early in the morning when he discovered the tiger's tracks to the west. He immediately returned home, killed a chicken, and used it as bait."
He Dawang said as they walked, pointing at the ground, "So, in theory, we believe there might be traces of the tiger eating the chicken somewhere to the west."
