Xiao Chong entered the scene with Shuqi. The ground in front of the workshop was an ordinary yellow mud ground in rural Luang County.
It hasn't rained recently, and the ground is still very tight. A small amount of dust has accumulated in the area where the water tank is placed. Other than that, there are only shallow footprints.
Shuqi was observing the surrounding environment, a little dazed. Regarding solving the case, he was not good at it. It was just that his master was busy and he couldn't seem to be doing nothing, so he tried hard to find something to do for himself.
Xiao Chong, on the other hand, squatted on one side and looked at the footprints on the ground carefully, as if he was savoring the difference between them.
Although the workshop was built under a deadline, the architect Lin Wanwan hired from Wang Du was really knowledgeable (an expert who can design and build large temples, his strength is unquestionable), and Lin Wanwan also showed her sincerity, respect and kindness.
cost.
Therefore, when Wang Du was designing and building the workshop for Lin Wanwan, he did not do any perfunctory behavior. He considered all the important matters of this important customer, and naturally he would not neglect something as important as fire prevention.
That's why we have those water tanks in the corner of the workshop.
Of course, these water tanks are not for display. Their main function is to prevent disasters before they occur. Although Datang did not have a developed fire water system, fire prevention must be considered.
Following the footprints beside the water tank, Xiao Chong quickly made a judgment in his mind.
Except for naughty children who come here, adults who are busy with daily life have no time to pay attention to this remote corner.
Therefore, most of the footprints belong to children, and the remaining row of footprints belonging to adults are particularly abrupt and are definitely worthy of priority analysis.
In Xiao Chong's eyes, the criminals in Luan County are always exposed, because they almost never think of faking the scene.
A very few old fritters can think of covering up the bloodstains, which is considered prudent.
As for the footprints, to be honest, even Chang'an's secret guards and professional killers would not think of covering them up.
It's easy to imagine how many clues Xiao Chong, who has super strong ability in identifying footprints, can get when solving the case.
Footprints can provide a lot of information. Excellent footprint experts can tell a lot of things, from the material of shoes to the position of the center of gravity, from height to gender, age, etc.
Of course, footprints also have their limitations. If a person is mediocre in all aspects, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither lame nor disabled, then its specificity will be too little.
It's very hard to find.
On the contrary, if a person has a particularly distinctive appearance, such as Xiao Chong himself, he is a type that is particularly easy to expose. Who told him to be so tall that he stands out from the crowd!
If he wants to commit a perfect crime, it will be much more difficult than for ordinary people.
Closer to home, these unobstructed footprints in front of you are almost equivalent to reconstructing the crime scene for Xiao Chong, making everything appear in detail.
First, Little Qingyu ran over and half-crouched and hid behind the water tank. The footprints of half a foot on the ground were enough to prove this. Then an adult approached Little Qingyu from the side, and then when the footprints faced outward, the adult
The weight has increased in vain.
Will a person's weight suddenly change in a short period of time? Of course not!
So in other words, the owner of this footprint was carrying a heavy burden when he left.
What weight can he carry? It's obviously Xiao Qingyu's weight.
This can also be confirmed by the weight difference shown before and after the footprints. The difference between the two is Xiao Qingyu's weight.
Xiao Chong has long known Xiao Qingyu's height, weight and footprints. This is why he can distinguish Xiao Qingyu among the footprints of these children at a glance.
Xiao Chong stood up and followed the leaving footsteps of the row. Lin Wanwan, who had been paying attention to Xiao Chong, quickly followed.
Although Lin Wanwan couldn't understand the footprints, she had already figured it out through observation. Xiao Chong was now following the footprints to find someone, and couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, did you find anything?"
Xiao Chong looked at the footprints and replied casually: "Little Qingyu was taken away by a man who had been dating for a long time, and this man was wearing black leather Liuhe boots. He was definitely not from Linjiazhuang, so Xiao Qingyu
Most likely he was knocked unconscious.
This person can’t be a farmer from other villages, because they can’t afford Liuhe boots, and it’s good to have a pair of straw sandals. Not to mention boots, even hemp shoes are probably difficult.”
"Can you tell so much just by looking at the footprints?" Although Lin Wanwan said it in a question, there was no question in her tone, and she was just surprised.
Xiao Chong has never been a person who speaks freely, so Lin Wanwan has a very high degree of trust in him. She will naturally believe whatever he says.
"Well, it's quite obvious. This person is less than seven feet tall, has a thin build, and his steps are a little sloppy. He is not a martial arts practitioner." Xiao Chong explained a few more words, and then suddenly stopped.
Lin Wanwan asked: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Chong replied: "When he got here, he started pushing the trolley, and walking side by side with him, there were also the footprints of a row of women in their twenties. Presumably, they came here disguised as a couple selling cotton.
From this point of view, they did not act impulsively while taking advantage of the chaos, but had a premeditated plan."
Lin Wanwan said solemnly: "I must have stepped on it a long time ago, otherwise it would be impossible to take away Xiao Qingyu under the eyes of so many people in Linjiazhuang."
Xiao Chong didn't make any more remarks. He had already said the same thing. Now he just wanted to see if he could track the person.
After following the footsteps and wheels for more than a mile, Lin Wanwan's face began to look ugly.
No one else, because they were walking to the wild beach outside Linjiazhuang, and they also met Kunlun, who was leading two military dogs borrowed from modern times, and several tribesmen from Linjiazhuang who were helping to find Xiao Qingyu.
Although they used different tracking methods, they both reached the same destination by different routes.
Xiao Chong said calmly: "There are traces of boats stopping here. After leaving Linjiazhuang, they took the waterway."
Lin Wanwan also noticed it, frowned and cursed, which made Xiao Chong look sideways.
"I have repaired the pier in our village several times. People who come to our village from outside must come to the pier if they can. Those who park their boats on the wild beach here are definitely acting like monsters. It's a pity that everyone
Did not notice."
Xiao Chong said lightly: "I can't blame you. The beach here is already some distance away from Linjiazhuang, and it is blocked by rocks. Who would pay attention."
Lin Wanwan frowned tightly and said nothing.
Seeing how ugly her face was, Xiao Chong knew that she was extremely worried, so he couldn't help but comforted her: "Don't worry, cousin. They say that Xiao Qingyu is a koi carp. She must be a lucky person and she will turn bad luck into good luck."
