Chaoyang Investigation Bureau.

Inside a project office!

Shen Ting listened carefully to the police investigation results on the phone regarding Shen Bisheng, the former village chief of Shenjia Village.

Shen Bisheng not only reported Wu Liqun in writing, but also repeatedly reported him to higher authorities.

According to villagers, the two had a direct conflict about a month ago outside the village compound.

On that day, Wu Liqun, who was originally supervising the construction team, was summoned to the district government to understand the situation because of Shen Bisheng's report.

He is usually very busy, as he has to handle village affairs and work with the construction team.

Being suddenly interrupted while working should be very frustrating.

The key point is that this isn't the first time.

In the evening, when I returned to the village brigade, I ran into Shen Bisheng, the instigator.

Wu Liqun questioned him about why he had stirred up trouble and repeatedly made baseless accusations against him.

Shen Bisheng was no pushover either; the two exchanged a few words and even shoved each other.

At that time, the old men playing chess and cards at the entrance of the village committee all witnessed this scene.

They went over to break up the fight and separated the two.

"Team Leader Shen, we found many elderly people who were present at the time."

They all say that Shen Bisheng and Wu Liqun had a very unpleasant falling out back then.

Because Wu Liqun has done a good job in recent years, he would send rice, flour, vegetables and other things to the elderly during holidays.

Shen Bisheng served as village chief for so many years, but he wasn't a very good one.

He had originally planned that after he retired, his eldest son would take over his position as village chief.

He had already arranged for his eldest son to join the village committee.

However, Wu Liqun completely thwarted the original plan.

In short, Wu Liqun served as village chief for a much shorter period than Shen Bisheng.

But most of the villagers still sided with Wu Liqun.

Seeing that no one was on his side, Shen Bisheng seemed quite angry.

Before leaving, he was cursing and swearing.

They say the villagers are ungrateful, but they'll regret it sooner or later.

However, for the next month, Shen Bisheng did not cause any more trouble for Wu Liqun, nor did he write any more complaint letters.

It seems that's the end of it.

However, based on the villagers' descriptions and his own behavior...

Shen Bisheng is no pushover; he's likely plotting something bigger, a further revenge against Wu Liqun.

During the phone call, the police officer described in detail the conflict between Shen Bisheng and Wu Liqun.

Many of these details were unknown to Shen Ting, a resident of Shenjia Village.

However, he did know a little about Shen Bisheng's petty and narrow-minded nature.

Shen Bisheng served as village chief for so many years, and to say that his abilities were only average would be an overstatement.

Shen's parents often gossiped about him at home.

In Shenjia Village, most people share the surname Shen.

They can trace back to the same ancestor.

Even if Shen Bisheng performs slightly worse, if he has slightly higher emotional intelligence, most villagers would definitely be more willing to choose him.

However, Wu Liqun, who was not a member of the same family, was elected with a high number of votes.

This shows how badly Shen Bisheng performed as village chief and how unpopular he was.

"Shen Bisheng and Wu Liqun have been at odds for many years."

Furthermore, after being provoked by the village elders outside the village committee gate, it's quite normal for them to lose their temper and want to teach Wu Liqun a lesson.

Shen Ting pondered.

The conflict between the two fits the facts of this case very well.

There was conflict, but it didn't escalate to the point of murder.

However, an accident occurred during the revenge.

"Did you investigate Shen Bisheng's whereabouts at the time of the crime?"

"It's been checked!"

Shen Bisheng said he went to bed very early last night at home.

He also repeatedly said that the village chief's case had nothing to do with him.

However, the only person who can testify for him is his wife; there is no one else.

Therefore, his alibi has very little validity.

Shen Bisheng could easily have deceived his wife and committed the crime in the middle of the night.

The police officer analyzed.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Ting directly rejected this possibility:

"Then Shen Bisheng is definitely not the direct murderer."

At the very least, he was definitely not one of the two people who made the move in the bedroom.

Don't focus all your attention on Shen Bisheng.

He should also pay close attention to his son, who was originally slated to inherit the village chief position.

The police officer on the other end of the phone was visibly taken aback.

"Uh, Team Leader Shen, why are you so sure that Shen Bisheng has nothing to do with the case?"

"Because of the shoe prints left at the scene."

Shen Tingdao:

"I just recalled that the bloody footprints left by the two suspects at the scene did not match the characteristics of the elderly person's footprints."

Shen Bisheng must be over sixty years old.

The two suspects are believed to be between thirty and forty years old.

Besides the differences in their shape, footprints are also affected by age.

The shoe prints of a thirty-year-old and a sixty-year-old are noticeably different.

A sixty-year-old's footprint may show deformities such as hallux valgus due to long-term pressure.

The heel will also be wider and flatter, and the outline will not be as complete as a young footprint.

As people age, the fat pads in their heels shrink, and their skin and ligaments become looser.

Other characteristics include more dispersed pressure distribution in the footprints, increased stride width, significantly shorter stride length, and drag marks on the soles of the feet.

These are all caused by aging, physical decline, lack of strength, and decreased balance.

The differences between their footprints and those of young people are still quite obvious.

Moreover, this characteristic is very difficult to fake.

The police officer opposite him, though curious about Shen Ting's reasoning, knew the case was urgent and didn't ask further questions, simply stating:

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate Shen Bisheng's son."
