Chapter 58 Searching for traces in the periphery, three scenes revealed clues

The scene became quiet again, and I took Xiao Ke and Xiao Cao to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the center site.

The result is still disappointing, there are still no footprints of the perpetrator, not only the perpetrator's footprints are not found, not even the victim's footprints are found.

"Captain Li, nothing can be found on the ground like this, what should we do?" Xiao Ke asked with a worried face.

"There are always more methods than difficulties. We will definitely be able to come up with better methods, and we will definitely be able to find valuable traces." I encouraged.

I am the captain and the person in charge, so I can't let myself get discouraged! However, I really don't have any confidence in my heart.

Xiao Ke and Xiao Cao suddenly became energetic, and Xiao Cao asked:

"Captain Li, we will do what you say! We will follow you with confidence!"

"Okay, you just have confidence. We will focus on the scene, take the field ridge as the line, and search along the line. Each of you is responsible for one direction. The focus is to find the footprints, see what is left behind, and what other abnormalities are there.

If there are any abnormal things, please pay attention to them. I will conduct an on-site inspection of the center." I divided the work.

The two of them left immediately without saying a word, and I entered the center for the fourth time.

This time, I took out the magnifying glass and almost lay on the ground, searching the ground inch by inch.

The entire center site was checked again, but nothing suspicious was found. Only a few long hairs of Zhu Haixia were found.

I stood up, kicked my legs, and stretched my waist. I had been bending down for too long, and my waist was a little painful and sore.

I raised my eyes and saw that the afternoon sun was more intense, shining warmly on people. In the distance, Xiao Ke and Xiao Cao were still searching on the field ridge, lowering their heads from time to time to check something.

Along another field ridge, I joined the search team and started the search.

I walked slowly. I looked slowly, and as I watched, I observed that rape fields, wheat fields, empty paddy fields, etc. were constantly receding from behind me.

After walking about 200 meters, I suddenly found a fallen area in a wheat field. It was about 2 meters square. There were fresh trampling marks on it. I felt happy and immediately went down to the field to observe.

Wheat fields are different from rapeseed fields. There are a lot of footprints left on the ground. I soon discovered the large wavy pattern of Zhu Haixia's rain boots. However, the pattern was relatively incomplete. I couldn't be sure that these were Zhu Haixia's footprints because of this

Rain boots are relatively common in rural areas, maybe they were left behind by other people.

Moreover, on the ground, I found another kind of footprint, which was on the outer part of the heel, with no less than two large horizontal stripes.

Joy welled up in my heart. I took out a magnifying glass and observed carefully. Although such footprints were found in five places, they were still very incomplete.

I was just about to straighten up and take a rest, when suddenly a long hair flashed in front of my eyes, long black hair! Just like the long black hair on Zhu Haixia's head left behind at the center! Then I found neatly tied hair!

Fresh footprints! Fresh trampling marks of wheat seedlings! The same long black hair! The same large wavy rain boots pattern!

Is this a coincidence? Is this really a coincidence?!

No! This is definitely not a simple coincidence. From the analysis of the wheat field scene, this is another crime scene. The perpetrator should have brought the victim Zhu Haixia here to prepare for rape. However, because the wheat seedlings are not as high as the rapeseed field,

It was not easy to block, so the crime location was temporarily changed.

Yes! That must be the case!

I felt ecstatic, and quickly called Xiao Ke and Xiao Cao over to tell them the situation. They were very happy.

After the photos and videos were fixed, I happily said:

"Xiao Ke, immediately notify team leader Adong to go to Leping Town Health Center to get gypsum powder! Xiao Cao, be ready to cast!"

The two of them ran away again.

So far, two crime locations should have been discovered, one is a wheat field and the other is a rapeseed field, and the wheatfield is first and the rapeseed field is behind. Then the route the perpetrator came from is from the wheat field to the rapeseed field. It can be inferred that

His route should be before the wheat field!

Along the wheat field, I continued to search. All kinds of grass were growing wildly on the field ridges, and there were no traces of them, let alone footprints.

But I know that there must be a place where I can leave my footprints!

Sure enough, on the exposed soil of a field ridge, I found large wavy pattern footprints and large horizontal stripe pattern footprints. These two types of footprints were almost side by side, and sometimes overlapped and crossed!

This shows that Zhu Haixia was already held hostage and controlled by the perpetrator!

So where did these two people come from? Where did they come from? Where did they come from?

Zhu Haixia was herding cows, yes! Herding cows! She was watching the cows, and the initial place where she was kidnapped was probably where she was watching the cows!

We must find the cow and find the position to watch the cow! A clear idea jumps in front of us!

But where are the cows?

I glanced around. On the left was a nearly bare mountain with only low shrubs. If there were cows on the mountain, you could tell at a glance. On the right was a dirt slope. Although there were a few big trees, they had not yet become a forest.

Basically, the view is unobstructed. It seems impossible to see these two places, so the only thing left is the ditch next to the feet.

"There is no fixed place, it's just on the nearby mountains or by the ditch. Anyway, there is grass everywhere now. The cows are the same everywhere."

This is what Zhu Haixia's father introduced when I visited.

Okay, then walk along the ditch!

Along the embankment of the ditch, I continued to walk forward. The ditch turned a corner in front, and there was a wide open area in front of me. A black cow was lying on the grass beside the ditch!

I rushed up and saw that it was a black water bull! It was lying on the ground with its eyes closed and was chewing its cud leisurely!

Focusing on the cow, I investigated carefully and found two different types of footprints: big waves and large horizontal strips!

This is the first scene!

Lying on the ground, I took out a magnifying glass and observed carefully.

The ground here has more exposed soil. The soil around the cows has been trampled by the cows and is crushed to a mess. But on the outside, I found a complete large horizontal stripe footprint, and, especially, there is a mark in the center of the heel.

Obvious lack!

This is the unique feature of this pair of shoes! This feature can be identified just like a fingerprint!

No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and it won't take any effort at all!

I was afraid that the cow would get up and destroy the trace again, so I untied the cow rope, led it away from the scene, moved it to a low-lying and hidden location, and tied it to a small tree stump.

"Captain Li, why are you here? We are looking for you everywhere." Xiao Ke shouted from a distance.

"Call Xiao Cao, prepare to take photos, videos, and make molds!" I said loudly.

Xiao Ke nodded, seemed to understand something, and immediately turned around and ran back.

Soon, two people ran over with things.

"Captain Li Li, have you discovered something new?" Xiao Cao asked excitedly.

"Yes. A very important situation! It is completely possible to identify the perpetrator!" I said with a smile.

The two of them were excited for a while. Under my guidance, the entire site was fixed and the large horizontal footprints were cast. Soon, clear plaster casts appeared in front of me, and the missing parts were filled with plaster.

Full, clear and defensible!

"Xiao Ke, Xiao Cao, are you confident in solving the case?" I asked with a smile.

"Isn't this the same as the Fenggang Family Planning Case?! We can solve the case again!" Xiao Ke said excitedly.

"Yes! If you follow Captain Li, you will definitely be able to solve the case!" Xiao Cao continued to be excited.

"Why can you solve the case by following Captain Li? Tell me your true thoughts!" I said with a smile.

"With this footprint, the case can be solved!" Xiao Cao replied.

Xiao Ke also nodded.

"Okay, it's good if you all have confidence. If you have confidence, we can overcome all kinds of difficulties, and victory will belong to us." I smiled and said.

Three people stood nearby, smoking.

"Xiao Cao, do you have any problem with making molds by yourself?" I asked while smoking.

"No problem." Xiao Cao agreed readily.

I continued:

"Okay, let's divide the work again.

I'm still going to search nearby, so I won't join the two of you.

Xiao Cao, you poured all the footprints out of the plaster mold. Your skill in pouring the plaster mold is very good. I have seen this in the cases of the Family Planning Office of Fenggang Town, so I am relieved, but I still remind you.

You must be serious and meticulous, this is a murder case, there can be no sloppiness or fault, do you understand?"

"Captain Li, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task! If you make any mistakes, you will blame me!" Xiao Cao answered with his head held high.

I nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"Xiao Ke, you have to work hard to find Zhu Zhishu, find Zhu Haixia's cattle and other partners, and bring someone here who is familiar with the cattle situation. You must bring the person here secretly. It is a secret. Do you understand?

"

"I also promise to complete the mission! We will never let others know our intentions!" Xiao Ke answered, puffing out his chest.

After smoking a cigarette, the three of us started working according to our division of labor.

I followed for a few more kilometers, but could no longer find the footprints, and the sky gradually became dark. When I returned to the scene of tying the cattle, Xiao Ke, Xiao Cao and a middle-aged man were waiting.

I.
