On the lonely and deserted coast, a broken foot wearing shoes suddenly appeared, half buried in the beach... This broadly-sense murder incident, which seemed to appear in the primary school student of Death, appeared alive in front of Zhang Zi'an.

There is only one truth, the murderer is... Anyway, it cannot be Zhang Zi'an.

Since I discovered this broken foot, the atmosphere between the elves and the wolves was a bit subtle. After all, although the elves here looked down on humans in all kinds, they still couldn't accept the things like eating people...

The Dharma push is sandwiched in the middle, and it feels very difficult to deal with.

The wolves also felt the atmosphere was different, but they didn't understand why.

Zhang Zi'an smoothed out the situation and said, "You are thinking too much. The owner of this shoe obviously died in the sea and was washed up to the coast, not by a wolf."

The elves were stunned. They had certain prejudice and vigilance towards beasts like wolves, but they did not expect this layer. However, if they just had their feet half buried in the beach, they said that this person died in the sea, which seemed a bit taken for granted. The probability of dying on land is obviously greater than the probability of dying in the sea.

This broken foot is wearing hiking shoes, and may also be a hiker, at least a traveler. Even if a traveler is fascinated by the sea and wants to go into the water and swim, he will not go into the water with shoes, right?

Besides, there is a Pacific cold current on the coast of California, and even in midsummer, few people are willing to go into the water to swim. The sea here is really only visible from afar and not to be played.

Zhang Zi'an knew that the conclusion could not be trusted by the elves, and added: "In fact, it is not new to find a broken foot wearing shoes on the west coast of the United States. In addition to the broken foot in front of us, the last broken foot was found on the beach on Pier Island in Washington State, which is thousands of kilometers away from this place. It was during the New Year's Day in 2019... We are now in northern California, bordering Oregon, and further north of Oregon is Washington State."

Before coming to Redwood Forest, he had learned about the dangers of forest hiking so that he could make corresponding preparations. When querying information, he saw reports on the mystery of broken feet on the West Coast beach in the United States.

In the past decade since August 2007, humans wearing shoes were frequently found near the coast of the United States and Canada, and even filmed a TV series with the theme. Both the screenwriters and scientists, and even police detectives, racked their brains to find a reasonable explanation for the source of these broken feet.

Scientists believe that the ocean current brought the broken foot to the coast. As for the other parts of the corpse, they were swallowed or decomposed by the marine creatures in the sea. The broken foot was not in line with the appetite of the marine creatures because of the existence of the shoes. They kept floating on the sea surface and eventually washed up to the beach, because the shoes are now very light and buoyant.

It sounds a bit reasonable, but it still cannot explain a key question why it started in August 2007, and why didn't this happen in so many years before?

Only a few of these broken feet have been confirmed. Wikipedia has a special page that records in detail the time, location, accurate coordinates, shoe style, size, characteristics, etc. When these broken feet were discovered, it is hoped that one day the owners of these broken feet will be found by their families.

This kind of gimmick news always attracts people's attention, and Zhang Zian was no exception. He just browsed it casually at that time, but he didn't expect that he could see a beach broken foot with his own eyes.

Before this, people had never found broken feet so far, but this was not surprising, because the place where the broken feet were found was a noisy beach near the city. People often walked their dogs or walked on the beach, and it was easy to find abnormal objects. The redwood forest is too desolate, and it was impossible for a person to walk along the beach for a few years, so it is reasonable to not find broken feet before.

He took his mobile phone to take a photo of his broken foot, and recorded the coordinates at the same time. When he left the Redwood Forest, he uploaded the picture. The relevant pages of Wikipedia need to be re-edited.

No one can give a reasonable explanation about the source of the broken foot. Although there are speculations like suicide, drowning, plane crash, shipwreck, etc., if we consider the critical time node of August 2007, no one can make sense before August 2007, there were also suicides, drowning, plane crash and shipwreck victims, why did no one find broken foot on the beach?

If time nodes are taken into account, the most reasonable explanation might be that a criminal organization established around 2007 threw the victims into the sea to conceal the crime. They threw the bodies at a fixed location, and the ocean currents would just take the sea water and the bodies of that location in a specific direction, such as the beach at the junction of the United States and Canada.

Zhang Zian explained these facts and rumors to the elves. A new idea arose in his mind: In what year was Li Pitt and his suspicious organization established?

They knew little about Li Pitt, him and the organization, but during a trip to Egypt, when camping at night, he occasionally heard Li Pitt talk big and talk, probably deliberately trying to attract young girls like He He in the scientific expedition team, including their studies for more than ten years, which almost matched 2007, and this is their nest...

If Zhang Zian's guess is correct, the crimes of Li Pitt and others will be more than illegal detention... and may even include murder.

For those who have been deceived here but refuse to be brainwashed, will Li Pitt keep them and beware of them running away at all times? For Li Pitt, who even finds it troublesome to raise deer, probably won’t. He may not have killed them directly, but as long as he does not provide enough food and medicine and lets them fend for themselves, those people will not live long.

After those people died of illness and starvation, they died of unnatural death, Li Pitt ordered people to throw their bodies into the sea to destroy the corpses. This was originally a good way to cover up, but what he did not expect was that the currents did not bring the bodies of those people to the depths of the sea, but to the junction of the United States and Canada.

But that doesn't matter. Anyway, it's hard for people to associate broken feet with criminal activities thousands of kilometers away. Unfortunately, the net of sky is vast and unobstructed. Zhang Zian, who came here, found clues of the crime.

As for why this broken foot is here, this can be explained simply, because before I have time to take it away, perhaps at the next high tide, the tide will roll the broken foot back to the sea and wrap it in the ocean current to carry it to the north.

This is his guess. Although he thinks it is reasonable, he still needs evidence to prove it, otherwise it can only be called delusion.
