Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 428 Intuition
Sure enough, the second mark circled by lime was another footprint, and it was the complete footprint of the half footprint just now.

Li Yancheng looked carefully at the heel of the footprint and compared it with the half footprint in his mind. The patterns on the soles matched, so it should be the same footprint.

However, this footprint does not have that small dark mark on the heel.

He sighed with a little disappointment.

Judging from the situation, it is very likely that the dark mark was already in the small pit and was just stepped on.

In this case, he immediately lost interest in these footprints and walked directly to the next circled trace.

Huh?
After walking to the third trace after entering, he raised his eyebrows. The circled area here was not a footprint. It should be said that this was an empty space with nothing. However, there were marks of lime in the circle, indicating that there was something there originally, but it was taken away.

There is evidence!

Li Yancheng realized it immediately.

Unexpectedly, evidence emerged in this case.

He received a call from the duty room of the Public Security Headquarters in the morning. The caller told him very clearly that there was evidence that the case that occurred last night and the case that occurred on the 28th of last month were a series of cases.

The reason why he was notified was that he had mentioned this request before. If he was needed to intervene in a case for interrogation, if possible, he should be allowed to enter the scene to take a look, preferably when the traces were clear.

Therefore, after receiving the notification from the Beijing Public Security Bureau, the Public Security Headquarters called him immediately and asked him to go to the scene himself.

Looking at the evidence marks drawn on the ground, Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows. Although he still didn't know the specific facts of this case, he felt that this case was becoming more and more interesting. If it was really a continuation of the series of cases ten years ago, hehe...

He curled his lips and shook his head, then walked towards the next trace.

There is another footprint here. What is different from the previous half footprint is that this one was left by the owner of the footprint stepping into a layer of dust. The foot is also different. This one is the footprint of the right foot, and the previous one is the footprint of the left foot.

Is it for one person?

As soon as this question popped up in his mind, Li Yancheng smiled and shook his head. The patterns on the soles were the same, and the footprints looked about the same size. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be from the same person.

In this way, a pair of feet is complete, and through this pair of footprints we can analyze more about the living habits of the owner of the footprints, and the possibility of finding him is greatly increased.

Just as he thought of this, he thought of the traces of fraud in the previous case and frowned slightly.

Could this footprint also be fake? Or, can this footprint match that one?

"Dacheng"

Just as he was looking at the circled footprints on the ground and thinking, a voice interrupted his thoughts. He knew who was calling him without turning around. The only person who could call him like that was someone very close to him.

"Have you finished the meeting?"

"What kind of meeting is this? Most of the people have already gone out to visit others. Our director is just making some last-minute arrangements."

"Give me some details."

"Why don't you go over and say hello to those leaders?" Jin Zhihai raised his chin and gestured slightly to the leaders.

"No." Li Yancheng shook his head without even looking over there.

"You know that I usually don't deal with local leaders. If it's just people from your city bureau and headquarters, it's not a big deal. But I see there are people from the city government and district government, so forget it.

You should tell me about the case. The person on duty at your headquarters called me this morning but didn't explain in detail. I only know that it may be combined with the 828 case."

Because of the special nature of his work and his wife's family, Li Yancheng has never dealt directly with local authorities. This is done to avoid suspicion. The Social Affairs Bureau has a special department that deals with local authorities.

Generally speaking, front-line case handlers will not deal directly with local officials in order to maintain the purity of the team.

Li Yancheng is actually doing administrative work now. Logically speaking, this unwritten rule does not apply to him, but it has been like this for many years and he has gotten used to it.

Also, because of his father-in-law, not many people below know about his relationship with the Luo family, but it is different at the city level. The city’s top leaders won’t do anything, but those at the next level know him, and when they see him they won’t fawn on him regardless of their face, but they can’t avoid trying to get close to him in some way.

Li Yancheng understood these people's thoughts. It was a pyramid structure, and the higher you went, the fewer positions there were. Mr. Luo's status had risen one step further, and it was normal for the people below to want to get closer to the old man to get some opportunities.

But when one reaches Mr. Luo's status, not just anyone can see him. His children have become targets of people with ulterior motives, including his son-in-law Li Yancheng, who currently holds a high rank.

Of course Jin Zhihai knew the reason. He said that just to remind his good brother that there was a leader over there. Seeing that he didn't care, he didn't say anything more and turned to talk about the details of the case.

"It can indeed be filed together with the 828 case. Director Chang has already gone back. We just did a rough comparison of the footprints here and have basically found them."

Hearing that the footprints coincided, Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows. This was not simply a coincidence with the previous case, but also a coincidence with the case ten years ago. As a result, the fog seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

"Tell me about it in detail from the beginning."

"The local police station received a report of the case at 11 o'clock last night. When the deputy chief on duty brought people over, he found that the victim's body was still warm, so he quickly reported it to the branch."

"Who is the person who reported the case?"

"Haha, thief!"

"Who?" Li Yancheng was a little suspicious whether he had heard it wrong.

"You heard it right. The person who reported the case is a thief."

Li Yancheng was stunned for a moment, but when his eyes swept across the materials that had been placed in the open space in advance, he exclaimed in sudden enlightenment.

"This guy came here in the middle of the night hoping to steal something from here, right?"

"That's right." Jin Zhihai nodded with a smile and raised his arm to point towards a group of leaders.

"It's hard to see here because of the prefabricated panels. There are a lot of steel pipes for scaffolding piled up over there. This construction site was originally supervised by someone, but the daughter-in-law of the supervisor happened to give birth these two days, so the couple secretly went home hoping for the best. There was no one here at night."

call……

It just so happened that there was no one to look after the victim these two days, so the murderer brought the victim here. Is this a coincidence?
Certainly not!

"Zhi Hai, this is probably not a coincidence, right? The guy who came here to steal something can be said to be a coincidence, but it is definitely not a coincidence that the murderer brought the victim here to commit the crime. He must have planned it in advance."

"You're right. The guy who stole the things came in because he saw that there was no one guarding the door. We asked him about it and he said that he knew there was someone guarding the door, so he didn't dare to come here to steal things before. He came in last night when he accidentally found that there was no one guarding the door. The reason why he knew there was something here was that he helped here when we were unloading the goods some time ago, so he also knew where the things were, and he went straight to the back of the prefabricated board after he came in.

Unexpectedly, when he went over, he saw a person lying on the ground, still naked. He shone the flashlight on her and found that it was a woman. Her eyes were wide open and she was motionless. He was so scared that he sat down on the ground, but he immediately knew what was going on.

It should be said that although this guy is a reckless person and has a habit of petty theft, he knows very well what to do when faced with major issues. He got up in a hurry and ran out, and went straight to the police station to report the case.

When the deputy director on duty heard this, he immediately realized that it might be related to the August 28 Incident. He brought people to protect the scene and asked someone to call the branch duty room.

……

After staying at the crime scene for three hours, Li Yancheng returned to his office at the headquarters at around ten o'clock in the morning.

The examination results of the body, traces and evidence have not come out yet. Although Director Chang said that the footprints are roughly the same as the previous case, until the official report is issued, these words are just hearsay.

At this stage, the public security department is still mainly conducting visits and investigations, so there is no need for him to get involved. He went there this morning just to take a look and familiarize himself with the situation, so that when he is needed to interrogate someone later, he won't have to look at the files at the last minute.

Because the cancer research project group had not started classes yet, he did not have to go there to teach the students these days. After returning to the office, he sat behind his desk and picked up the documents that his secretary had prepared for him to review and sign and began to read them.

After reading for less than two minutes, he put down the document in his hand, frowned slightly, raised his hand and pinched his nose.

He found that he couldn't concentrate on the documents at all, his mind was filled with the scene he had just seen at the crime scene.

There were two pieces of evidence left at the scene this time, one of which was a key. It was hard to say whether it was dropped by the murderer or the victim. Anyway, it was not dropped by anyone on the construction site. Judging from the dust on the key, it must have dropped there recently.

Another piece of evidence was a flat-blade screwdriver, which was also the murder weapon.

That's right, after the victim was raped this time, the murderer first strangled the victim's neck with his left hand, and then poked the victim's neck with a flat-blade screwdriver.

It was this stab that caused the victim to bleed to death.

It is still unknown whether there are fingerprints or other useful clues left on the screwdriver. We have to wait for the test results from the Trace Inspection Section of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The remaining few places are footprints, all left by the same person. Judging from the traces, they are relatively consistent and are found on both feet. We have to wait for the expert's report to determine whether they were left by the murderer.

"One on August 28th, and one on September 2nd. It's only been a few days. If this person is the one from ten years ago, did he commit the crime faster, or does it count as long as it's been a month?"

Li Yancheng muttered to himself while thinking about the situation at the scene.

"Did he not know about the footprints left at the scene, or did he do it on purpose? And why did he leave the screwdriver at the scene when he was not in a hurry?"

He always felt that the murderer's move was not just a simple provocation, but must have other intentions.

"Jingle Bell……"

"Hello, I'm Li Yancheng."

"Secretary Li, I'm Chang Huarong."

"Hello, Director Chang, is there any result from the footprint comparison?"

After hearing the person on the other end of the phone introduce himself, Li Yancheng immediately became alert.

"Yes, Secretary Li, we can basically confirm that the footprints left at the scene and the August 28 Incident were left by the same person."

"That means it could be related to the case from ten years ago."

"That's right"

"Thank you Director Chang for your notice."

"You're welcome, Secretary Li, what do you think of last night's case?"

After talking about the footprints, Director Chang did not hang up the phone, but instead asked Li Yancheng about his opinion on the case.

His sudden question made Li Yancheng stunned for a moment.

Although both of them are specially appointed experts of the Public Security Headquarters, they are essentially very different.

Director Chang is not only an expert in footprint identification, but also the director of the Trace Inspection Technology Center of the Public Security Headquarters. Li Yancheng is from the Social Affairs Bureau and is more of a part-time worker in the public security system.

Both of them are experts, but they just know each other and can talk to each other. However, they have never discussed and analyzed the case together except for the issue of footprints on the phone yesterday.

"Director Chang, I still feel that there is something strange about these two cases. Whether it's the footprints last time or this time, or the murder weapon left at the scene, it always feels like the murderer deliberately showed it to us."

Since he was asked, Li Yancheng didn't intend to hide it and directly expressed his doubts.

"That's what you think, too."

"Uh... Director Chang, is there anyone else who agrees with me? Director Wan and Deputy Director Jin of the Second Division of the Municipal Bureau?"

"Not only them, but Deputy Director Tao of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the headquarters also rushed to the scene early this morning. He also said the same thing after seeing the scene."

Another expert, this Deputy Director Tao is a serious criminal investigation expert. He has participated in solving many major cases in the country and has rich experience in criminal investigation.

He was not in Beijing when the August 28 Incident occurred; he was on a business trip. He just came back yesterday afternoon and happened to encounter the second case.

"Director Tao is back from his business trip."

"Yes, we went to the scene together in the early morning. After he looked at the scene and listened to Director Wan's report, he said at the scene that there were problems with the two cases. He said that the traces left at the scene were probably left intentionally by the murderer in order to disrupt the investigation."

"Director Chang, words are not enough. Has Director Tao discovered anything?"

"We didn't find anything. Director Tao said it was based on intuition and it can't be counted. He asked the city and district bureaus to continue to conduct investigations according to normal procedures. He will think about it. After all, he only listened to a report on the 828 incident and hasn't read the specific files yet."

Not found!

Li Yancheng on the other end of the phone let out a breath.

It won't do to just talk without any evidence.
