Chapter 9 Footprints(1/2)

At the other end of the cold storage, Xia Liang and Jiang experts were still talking.

"After the autopsy results came out, are there any clues about the identity information of the deceased?"

"It's hard to say. But what is certain is that the deceased is around forty years old and has serious muscle degeneration, wide pelvic bone, mild spinal strain, and... also... a mouse hand."

Expert Jiang stretched out his right hand and pointed the part between the palm of his hand and the pulse with his left hand: "The traces left by this skin rubbing against the mouse pad for a long time should be a clerk who works in paperwork. He sits in front of the computer all year round and lacks exercise."

"Is that man bald?" Zhu Ansheng didn't know what he was doing inside, but suddenly interrupted. Xia Liang smiled bitterly:

"Brother-in-law, what are you asking for this?"

"If you don't have a bald head, you may be a clerk, and if you don't have a bald head, you may be a programmer, or a writer."

"...Brother-in-law, the dead are the most important. Can you not make such low-level jokes?"

"oh."

Expert Jiang took off his gloves, pinched his chin and pondered for a moment, and said seriously:

"It's hard to tell if it's bald, because the deceased's skull was smashed to pieces with the upper half of his face, and his scalp can no longer be seen..."

"What did you say?"

Zhu Ansheng poked his head out from behind the shelf, holding a frozen fish in his hand, and his face was full of surprise:

"What about the lower half of the face?"

“Intact.”

“How is the teeth?”

"There is basically no damage. After the forensic identification, it was found that there were signs of tooth decay treatment within three months. Now, the dental records of all hospitals in Guangzhou are being compared. I believe the results will be obtained soon..."

"I'm in trouble now..." Zhu Ansheng's expression suddenly became serious.

"What's the trouble?" Xia Liang was puzzled.

Expert Jiang looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Do you think that was left by the murderer on purpose?"

"Maybe."

"Senior brother, your idea is too old-fashioned. If the murderer wants us to know the identity of the deceased, there is no need to burn the fingerprint at all. If he deliberately leaves a dental record, his intentions will lack consistency, which is not true. The criminal deliberately leaves flaws to challenge the police, which is what only happens in the detective novel."

"I think too." Xia Liang added:

"At that time, the cold storage was pitch black. Maybe the murderer couldn't see clearly and thought he had smashed his entire face, which left a flaw."

Zhu Ansheng continued to reach out and pull out the frozen fish in the plastic box, and said calmly:

"Don't forget that he has fire."

Xia Liang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the murderer should have brought something like a lighter, otherwise he would not be able to burn his fingerprint. He thought for a little while and said:

"Maybe the murderer didn't know that modern technology could investigate identity through dental records?"

"Never treat prisoners who can create a double secret murder as fools." Zhu Ansheng paused and continued:

"There is one more thing... murder in reality will only come more bizarre than in detective novels."

His hand was on the shelf, and the edge was the plastic box where he had inexplicably hollowed out the frozen fish, which looked like he was showing off. As a result, he accidentally pushed it and the plastic box fell off the shelf and made a deafening sound in the cold storage. There was an echo in the cold storage, which was so loud that it could be woken up by death.

Xia Liang and Jiang experts were both startled. A sudden look flashed across Zhu Ansheng's face, and he picked up the box in a mess:

"Miss, mistakes."

At this time, a commotion came from outside the cold storage door, accompanied by curses. The three of them turned their heads and Zhu Ansheng couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard the familiar voice.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?"

A police officer in his fifties rushed in despite Lao Lin's dissuasion at the door. The man was a solid figure and looked a bit honest. Judging from his facial features, he might be considered handsome when he was young, and even his angry face lacked some evil spirit when he saw Zhu Ansheng.

"Who asked him to come in? Who asked him to come in? Do you still want to do it? I said I can't let him in. You two can't understand, right?"

"Hey, Team Xing, please calm down, calm down..." Lao Lin held his hand, sweating profusely.

The man's name is Xing Guangkun. He is the old captain of the criminal police force. He has been in love with Zhu Ansheng for more than ten years. He has been "love and killing each other" all day long, and the people in the police force are used to seeing him.

Xia Liang saluted to Team Xing. Team Xing did not see it, and walked in a hurry to the depths. He pulled Zhu Ansheng, who was squatting on the ground and pretended that nothing happened:

"What? What? What are you? Who asked you to come in? Crime scene! Experts can enter! Police dogs can enter! No one and Zhu's surname cannot enter! How many times have I said it, you can't understand human words, right? Do you have to mess with you back to the bureau and have tea before you can recognize him? Hum?"

Zhu Ansheng was carried with his back and there was no detective demeanor, and he was panting like a husky.

"Brother Xing...Brother Xing, listen to my explanation..."

"What Brother Xing, I don't know Brother Xing, I don't know Brother Xing, I'm not big or small."

"Captain Xing, Sheriff Xing, Brother Kun, Master Kun! You let me go first... I'm going to die..."

"I won't let you go! I tell you, I will make clear arrangements for you today. The day-to-day goals cannot be determined, and I must deal with you..."

Xia Liang and Jiang experts were holding their smiles on the other end, and they had no idea to go up to dissuade them. First, with Xing Guangkun's temper, it was impossible to hold back without three or five people. Second, Team Xing actually had no malice towards Zhu Ansheng. On the contrary, he was famous for protecting his shortcomings in the bureau and was very good to the police. However, after Zhu Ansheng left the job, he was not a good person all day long, which made him angry.

"You said you... you will leave the job. If you don't hold your pension and support me all day long, I'll mess with you! You're really against you... These bastards are just one or two who are ungrateful and don't follow the rules at all, they are bad things..."

"Brother Kun...I am an informant...I have information..."

Xing Guangkun let out his hands and Zhu Ansheng lay on the ground like a dead dog.

"You can explain the matter clearly within 20 seconds, and then get out of here."

"Brother Kun, you don't comply with the rules of handling affairs. The informant is qualified to stay at the crime scene."

"Is it your business or mine now? Believe it or not, I will ask Xia Liang to arrest you in the bureau..."

Zhu Ansheng took a deep breath and said mysteriously:

"I think there is something strange about this case."

Xing Guangkun looked down at his watch and said coldly: "29, 28, 27..."

Zhu Ansheng dared not act rashly anymore, so he stood up and walked to the row of footprints on the ground.

"Lao Kun, please watch it."

Xing Guangkun lowered his head and frowned.

"Is there any problem?"

"These footprints are very messy, but they can basically distinguish the direction of walking." He lowered his head and pointed one by one with his fingers:

"This is the shoe print of leather shoes, which belongs to that security guard, right?"

"Um."

"Then the one with this pair of water shoes should be Zhang Jianhong, the owner of the aquatic shop."

"Um."

"Wait," Xia Liang asked, "Brother-in-law, you didn't ask who the footprint was. How did you know that Zhang Jianhong was wearing water shoes?"

"The sole patterns of water shoes are easy to identify and are relatively dense because they are an anti-slip design...the point is not this."

Zhu Ansheng slowly raised his head:

"Did you not notice it? The footprints of Liu Baoan and Boss Zhang are facing the door, not towards the cold storage; and this footprints of the deceased are just the opposite, only those that are facing the cold storage, not towards the door."

After saying this, everyone else was shocked. Expert Jiang quickly reacted, nah:

"That is to say, the two suspects left footprints when they walked towards the door, while the deceased left footprints when they walked towards the cold storage..."

Xia Liang pondered for a long time and let out a "hiss" sound:

"This... is too strange."

Zhu Ansheng took off his rubber gloves, stood up, and put his hands in his pocket:

"There is a timeline for footprints to be retained, that is, footprints will only be left when the temperature of the cold storage rises to a certain level and the ground is wet. The two suspects did not leave footprints to walk towards the cold storage, which means that after the three of them worked together to block the shelf and returned here to rest, the ground had not started to tide."

"What does the footprints left by the deceased mean?" Xia Liang asked.

Expert Jiang said:

"Regularly speaking, the situation that is more consistent should be... After the three of them moved the shelves, the two suspects returned to the middle of the cold storage before the tide on the ground, but the deceased stayed at the door for some reason... It was not until the tide on the ground that he returned to the vicinity of the two and was killed."

Xia Liang was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became solemn:

"This detail... has never been heard from the confessions of both of them."

"That might mean that someone is lying." Zhu Ansheng spread his hands and smiled.

"If this is the case, what happened when the three of them pushed the airs and the deceased stayed alone at the door should be the key to solving the case." Expert Jiang said.

Captain Xing was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly shouted at the door:

"Lao Lin, come in and drag Zhu Ansheng out."

Zhu Ansheng raised his eyebrows: "Lao Kun, what does it mean? Do you kill the donkey when you take off your grinding?"

"Go and go." Team Xing kicked him: "It's enough to tell you a few words of sarcastic performance. You are an irrelevant person, so don't interfere with official business. Stay wherever you are cool."

“There is a cooler place in Guangzhou?”

Xing Guangkun didn't look at him either:
