"Detective Zhao, what are you doing … Be careful, be careful …" Captain Li was shocked to see Zhao Yu climb over the west wall.
"Zhao Yu … What is he doing now?"
Miao Ying ran to the balcony, only to find that Zhao Yu was already walking along the high wall, as if he was walking on a tightrope.
Zhao Yu's sudden movement also attracted the attention of the other police officers, who all turned to look at him.
However, Zhao Yu didn't care about their gazes. He walked a few steps along the wall, then took out his phone and pulled out the shoe prints that the forensics team had found at the crime scene.
Then, he secretly opened a device called the Footprint Recognition Device. Zhao Yu had opened this device a long time ago, and he had accumulated more than 15 of them.
As the name suggested, the function of this device was to identify and compare footprints. This was very relevant to Zhao Yu's work in solving cases.
However, due to the different cases, Zhao Yu had never used it before. This was the first time.
Zhao Yu thought that in this situation, he could give it a try.
There were no other exits in the Yu family's old house. That night, the suspect who took the skull must have escaped from the scene through this wall.
So, as long as he could find a matching shoe print, he could at least determine the direction in which the suspect had escaped.
So, he opened the shoe print on his phone and scanned it into the system device. Then, the Footprint Recognition Device immediately displayed a variety of data and functions.
The data given by the Footprint Recognition Device was basically the same as the police's judgment based on the shoe print. The suspect should be a man who was less than 1.7 meters tall.
Then, Zhao Yu turned on the Footprint Recognition Device's scanning function and began to scan the places that he had passed. Once the Footprint Recognition Device found a matching shoe print, it would immediately sound an alarm.
However, as it had been two days since the crime, Zhao Yu was worried whether the Footprint Recognition Device would still work.
The wall was made of cement, and Hailan's climate was humid, so there was very little dust. So, the Footprint Recognition Device couldn't extract any effective footprints from the wall.
Zhao Yu could only place his hope on the outside of the wall. So, he carefully bent down and began to scan the ground outside the wall with the Footprint Recognition Device.
There was an open space outside the wall. The open space was originally paved with bricks, but because of years of disrepair, many places were exposed to soft soil.
If someone had passed by, they would definitely have left footprints.
Zhao Yu was overjoyed. He leaned against the wall and looked out of the wall, carefully scanning the places where the suspect might have left footprints.
Seeing Zhao Yu's strange behavior, the police officers were all tongue-tied and dumbfounded. No one understood what the great detective was doing.
However, Zhao Yu was originally quite confident. Because the open space outside the courtyard wall was accessible in all directions, if he was the suspect, he would definitely choose this place to escape that night.
All he had to do was jump off the three-meter-high wall and find a random path to escape.
However, when Zhao Yu climbed the west wall from top to bottom, although the footprint detector captured some footprints on the ground outside, after identification and comparison, all of them were eliminated. The suspect's footprints were not among them at all!
It can't be, right?
Zhao Yu couldn't help but crease his eyebrows. He thought to himself, "Did the suspect change his shoes?"
"Mm … Godly Detective Zhao!" Captain Li Yanxia shouted at Zhao Yu from the balcony. "We've searched outside, but we didn't find any suspicious clues!"
Oh?
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu slowly turned around and looked around the Yu family's old house again.
The entire Yu family's old house was divided into two parts, the courtyard and the mansion. The main entrance of the courtyard was located on the east side of the courtyard wall, which was also where the police had chased the suspect that night. So, the suspect couldn't have escaped from the east side.
The mansion was located on the north side of the house. The mansion didn't have a back door, and it was a standalone villa that wasn't connected to other buildings. So, if the suspect wanted to escape, he would definitely step on the west wall.
But …
Why didn't there be any footprints of the suspect outside the west wall?
Could it be …
The next second, Zhao Yu finally turned his gaze to the south side of the old house!
The south wall of the old house was adjacent to another villa community. Between the two walls, there was a ditch that was less than two meters long.
On the night of the crime, the thief who found the white bones had failed to steal from that villa community. In order to avoid being chased by the security guards, he had jumped into the Yu family's old house in desperation.
So …
Zhao Yu tried hard to think. Could it be that the suspect … escaped from the south?
But …
He looked at the length of the courtyard wall again and felt that something was wrong! If the suspect had escaped from the south side, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
And …
As he thought about it, he walked along the west wall to the south side of the courtyard wall.
Standing there and looking out, there was indeed a ditch in front of him. The ditch was overgrown with weeds and gave off a rotten smell.
Well …
The scene of a person jumping into the stinky ditch flashed across Zhao Yu's mind. The person was holding a white skull in his hands …
Although the possibility of this happening was very small, Zhao Yu still leaned against the south wall and used the Footprint Recognition Device to check the vicinity of the ditch again.
But, firstly, it was overgrown with weeds, and secondly, the slope on both sides of the ditch was very narrow. It was impossible for a person to stand on it. After checking, there were still no matching footprints.
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu leaned against the wall and smacked his lips. Suddenly, a swarm of mosquitoes and flies flew past him. A few of them hit his lips and he almost didn't eat them.
Spit spit spit spit …
He spat a few times, then quickly turned around and sat on the wall.
Sigh …
This is interesting. I can't even find a footprint. Did the suspect fly away?
Or …
He looked back at the stinky ditch and thought to himself, Did you swim out of the stinky ditch?
"Ah … Hero … Please accompany me in chasing my dream …"
Just then, Zhao Yu's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Peipei.
"Hello?" But, after he answered the phone, he heard Zeng Ke's voice. "Team Leader, you were right again! The skeleton's torso has been compared, and the victim's identity has been found! "
"Huh? I was right? "Zhao Yu was puzzled." What did I say? "
"The victim was a model!" Zeng Ke said excitedly. "Her name was Lesuna. Three months ago, she followed her modeling company to participate in a talent show in Hailan City.
After the event, she didn't return with the company, but said that she wanted to take a vacation in Hailan City for a few days. But, there was no news of her after that!
Before the comparison, her family had just uploaded the DNA data to the missing people database! "
"Oh! I knew it! " Zhao Yu felt that it was a pity. It seemed that what he was most worried about had happened. There was a ninety-nine percent chance that the White Bone Case was a murder case!
"Zeng Ke …" Zhao Yu quickly ordered, "Hurry up and send me the victim's detailed information! And … and the police's missing person investigation records, give them all to me! "
"Yes!" Zeng Ke quickly agreed.
"Oh, right!" Zhao Yu added excitedly. "Check the modeling company. If one of them is a model, then the other two might … Mm …"
Zhao Yu was too excited, and his body tilted, almost falling off the wall of the courtyard!
As he lost his balance, he quickly used his hands to support himself.
In the end, because he was too strong, his palm crushed the cement on the wall, and a small piece of cement fell into the courtyard.
"D * mn …" After Zhao Yu steadied himself, he subconsciously looked down.
Who would have thought that when he looked, he would suddenly discover something.
Hey?
What is that?!
"Team Leader, Team Leader, are you okay? What happened to you? "
On the phone, Zeng Ke was still asking with concern, but Zhao Yu's eyes were completely attracted to the thing in the courtyard.
