Chapter 59 "Footprints of Giants" ([-])
Resort restaurant.

Zhang Yang really didn't expect things to turn out like this. Everyone was ruled out as suspects, and in the end he was the only one left: "I can't be the murderer. If I were the murderer, I would take the observed Shaobai as the murderer." Did you tell me about the murder and those mysterious footprints? Isn’t that incendiary?”

"That's not necessarily the case. You also know that the situation you mentioned just now should be discovered soon after the police arrive. So you took the initiative to give everyone the illusion that the murderer will not expose himself. It’s just that you didn’t expect all of us to have an alibi.” Wang Jun, who replaced Zhang Yang in the role of detective, said this, glanced at Zhang Yang, and then continued to say coldly, “And how do you know? There is a small bench in the bathroom of Shaobai's room? And how did you calculate the time of Shaobai's death?"

"Because the structure and facilities of the rooms in this hotel are the same, there is a small bench in the bathroom of my room, so I speculate that Shaobai's room should also have it. As for the calculation of the time of death, I learned it in mystery novels. Yes." Zhang Yang looked at everyone while explaining.Wang Jun with a sneer, Wen Ze with a still expressionless face, Xiao Lang with a dazed face, and Xiang Xie slowly backed away, trying to distance themselves from Zi Yan, mother and daughter.It seems that everyone thinks that they are criminals.Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, and walked towards Wang Jun.

"What are you going to do?" Wang Jun clenched his fists and asked nervously.

But Zhang Yang ignored him, passed him by, walked straight to the corner of the restaurant, and sat down in the same seat where Li Shaobai had sat last night.Now his mind is a little confused, he must find a quiet place to sort out his thoughts.

Wen Ze looked at the watch on his wrist, more than an hour had passed, and the police were coming soon.Wang Jun moved a chair to block the door, as if to prevent Zhang Yang from escaping.Xiao Lang and Ziyan's mother sat at the bar farther away from Zhang Yang.

My previous analysis should be correct. The murderer must have come to Shaobai's room before Xue stopped, killed him, and left after Xue stopped.But who is the murderer?Everyone except myself has a clear alibi.

Xiao Lang's alibi is relatively solid, although we haven't checked with his netizens, but it shouldn't be wrong, because the police will definitely ask his netizens afterwards, so he won't be so stupid as to provide a fake alibi to increase to the point of being suspicious.

The alibi of Ziyan's mother and daughter is relatively strong, but the premise is that they are not accomplices and provide each other with fictitious alibi.However, even if they were accomplices, would their thin bodies be able to hang the tall Shaobai corpse on the ropes from the ceiling fan?Maybe if they were two together, but there was only one track in the snow, so the murderer should be alone.And the footprint of that mysterious footprint is very large, it cannot be left by a woman.

I will definitely not be a criminal, so the only ones left are Wang Jun and Wen Ze. Could it be that they are accomplices?Or is the murderer actually an outsider?Is the truth of the case really that simple?

No, I should have overlooked something!Thinking of this, Zhang Yang scratched his head vigorously.

According to the practice in mystery novels, the person who is the least likely to be the murderer is often the real murderer, so who is the person who is the least likely to be the murderer in this case?
it's me?Is it my split personality that killed Shaobai without knowing it?This is absolutely impossible!
It seems that the key to the matter is the strange footprints, which are like the huge footprints left by the giant Atlas (Note) in Greek mythology when he passed by.

Zhang Yang began to fall into deep thought again.

Footprints... Huge footprints... Huge... Could it be?
A strange idea suddenly appeared in his mind, he stood up abruptly, and strode towards the door.Wang Jun reached out to stop him, but he pushed him away, and then rushed out of the restaurant door, followed by everyone.

Zhang Yang trotted to Shaobai's room.Start looking around the room.

"What are you looking for?" Wen Ze and Wang Jun who followed in asked.

"Shaobai's shoes!" Zhang Yang replied without raising his head.

Time passed by, Zhang Yang almost searched the room, but he didn't find Shaobai's shoes.

"Strange? Where did Shaobai's shoes go?" Wen Ze and Wang Jun were also surprised by this result.

Zhang Yang came to the door of Shaobai's room, looked at Xiao Lang and Ziyan mother and daughter in the distance, and then looked at the strange footprints.A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
