"Detective Zhao, are you... careful, careful..." Captain Li was shocked when he saw Zhao Yu climbing up the west courtyard wall.
"Zhao Yu...what are you doing again?"
Miao Ying hurriedly ran to the balcony, only to find that Zhao Yu had already walked along the high courtyard wall in a tightrope posture, walking towards the outside.
Zhao Yu's sudden move also attracted the attention of other police officers, who all turned their attention to him.
However, Zhao Yu didn't care about other people's gazes at all. He walked a few steps along the courtyard wall, immediately took out his mobile phone and retrieved the shoe prints found by the technical team at the crime scene.
Then, he secretly opened a tool called a footprint identifier. This prop was developed by Zhao Yu a long time ago, and he has accumulated 15 of it so far.
As the name suggests, the function of this prop is to identify and compare footprints, which is very relevant to Zhao Yu's crime-solving work.
However, due to the different cases, Zhao Yu had never used it before, and this was the first time.
Zhao Yu believes that the current situation is just right to give it a try.
There was no other exit from the Yu family's old house. That night, the suspect who took away the skull must have escaped through this courtyard wall.
Therefore, as long as you can find matching shoe prints, you can at least determine the direction in which the suspect escaped.
So, he opened the shoe print on his mobile phone and scanned the shoe print into the system prop. Immediately afterwards, the footprint identifier immediately displayed a variety of data and functions.
Among them, the data given by the identifier is basically the same as the police's judgment based on the shoe prints. The suspect should be a man less than 1.7 meters tall.
Then, Zhao Yu turned on the scanning function of the identifier and began to scan the places he passed. Once the reader detects a matching shoe print, it will immediately send an alert.
However, since two days had passed since the incident, Zhao Yu was worried whether the identifier could still work.
The courtyard walls are made of cement. The local climate in Hailan is humid and there is little dust, so the identifier did not extract effective footprints from the courtyard walls.
Zhao Yu had no choice but to put his hope outside the courtyard wall. So, he carefully bent down and began to scan the ground outside the courtyard wall with the footprint scanner.
There is an open space just outside the courtyard wall. The open space was originally paved with bricks, but due to disrepair over time, wet and soft soil was exposed in many places.
If someone passes by it, they will leave footprints.
Zhao Yu was overjoyed when he saw this. He simply lay down on the wall of the courtyard, turned his head towards the outside of the wall, and carefully scanned the places where the suspect might have left footprints.
Seeing Zhao Yu's strange performance, the police officers were all speechless and dumbfounded. No one understood, what was the detective doing
However, Zhao Yu was originally quite confident. Because the open space outside the courtyard wall extends in all directions, if he was the suspect, he would definitely choose this place to escape that night.
All you need to do is jump off the three-meter-high courtyard wall and find a way to escape.
However, when Zhao Yu climbed the west courtyard wall from beginning to end, although the footprint scanner captured some footprints on the ground outside, after identification and comparison, they were all eliminated, and the suspect's footprints were not among them at all!
No way
Zhao Yu couldn't help but frown and thought to himself: Could it be that... the suspect changed his shoes
"Well... Detective Zhao!" Captain Li Yanxia shouted to Zhao Yu from the balcony, "We have searched outside and found no suspicious clues!"
oh
Tsk tsk…
Zhao Yu slowly turned back and looked at the entire Yu family's old house again.
The entire Yu family's old house is divided into two parts: the courtyard and the western-style building. Among them, the main entrance of the compound is located on the east side of the courtyard wall, which is also where the police chased them that night, so it is impossible for the suspect to escape from the east.
To the north of the house is the western-style building. The western-style building has no back door and is a single-family villa. It is not connected to other buildings. Therefore, if the suspect wants to escape, he will inevitably step on the west courtyard wall.
But…
Why are there no shoe prints of the suspect left outside the west courtyard wall
Could it be...
The next second, Zhao Yu finally turned his gaze to the south side of the old house!
The southern courtyard wall of the old house is adjacent to another villa community. There is a ditch of less than two meters between the courtyard walls of the two communities.
On the night of the crime, the thief who found the bones jumped over the wall into the Yu family's old house in order to avoid being chased by security guards after he attempted to steal from that villa complex.
So…
Zhao Yu thought hard and wondered, could it be that the suspect... escaped from the south
But…
He looked at the length of the courtyard wall again and felt something was wrong! If the suspect fled from the south, wouldn't he be looking far away from what is close
and…
While he was thinking, he walked south along the west courtyard wall and came to the south courtyard wall.
Standing here and looking out, a ditch appeared in front of me. The ditch was overgrown with weeds and exuded a sludge smell.
Well...
Zhao Yu's mind quickly flashed a scene of a man jumping into a stinky ditch. The man was holding a white skull in his hand...
Although this possibility was very small, Zhao Yu still lay on the south courtyard wall and used the footprint scanner to explore the area near the ditch.
However, firstly, there were overgrown weeds below, and secondly, the slopes on both sides of the ditch were very narrow, making it impossible for people to stand on it. After probing, still no matching shoe prints emerged.
Tsk tsk…
Zhao Yu was lying on the wall smacking his lips when a stream of mosquitoes and flies suddenly roared past, and a few of them hit his lips, almost missing his mouth.
Spit, spit, spit…
He spat a few words in frustration, quickly turned around and sat on the wall.
well…
Now it’s interesting. I can’t even find a shoe print. Did the suspect fly away
still…
He looked back at the stinking ditch and thought to himself, "Did you swim out of the stinking ditch?"
"Ah... hero... please accompany me to pursue my dream... "
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Zhao Yu's cell phone suddenly rang, and it was Zhang Peipei calling.
"Hello?" However, after answering, Zeng Ke's voice suddenly came from the phone, "Team leader, you are right again! The torso of the bones has been compared and the identity of the deceased has been found!"
"Ah? Am I right?" Zhao Yu wondered, "What am I right about?"
"The deceased was a model!" Zeng Ke said excitedly, "Her name is Leisu Na, and she participated in a talent show in Highland City with her modeling company three months ago.
“After the event, she did not return with the company, but said she would go on vacation in Hailan for a few days, but she has not been heard from since then!
"Before the comparison, her family had just uploaded the DNA data to the missing persons database!"
"Oh! Sure enough!" Zhao Yu suddenly felt a pity. It seemed that what he was most worried about had happened. There was a 99% chance that the Bones case was a murder!
"Zeng Ke..." Zhao Yu quickly ordered, "Hurry up and send me the details of the deceased! And... and the police's disappearance investigation records, give them all to me!!"
"Yes!" Zeng Ke quickly agreed.
"Oh, by the way!" Zhao Yu added excitedly, "Check that model agency as well. If one of them is a model, then the other two might... um... "
Unexpectedly, because Zhao Yu was so excited, his body tilted and he almost fell off the courtyard wall!
Losing his balance, he quickly used his hands to support himself.
As a result, due to the strong force, he actually crushed the cement on the wall with one palm, and a small piece of cement immediately fell into the yard.
"I'm going..." After Zhao Yu stabilized his body, he glanced down almost unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, at this glance, he suddenly discovered something.
Why
what is that!
"Team leader, team leader, are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
On the phone, Zeng Ke was still asking questions with concern, but Zhao Yu's eyes were completely attracted by the thing in the yard...
But on the ground very close to the courtyard wall, there were two small pits that were not very noticeable! !
