Chapter 140 Strange Footprints



Guan Feng asked, "Has the case been fully investigated?"

Huang Lili said, "The investigation has been completed, and the team has closed the case."

Guan Feng nodded, and was about to speak when the phone rang. He answered it, but his expression changed after only a few words. He asked, "Is that so? Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, he instructed Huang Lili and the others: "A murder has occurred in Sucheng City next door. A set of footprints was extracted from the scene. I need to go there immediately to assist in the investigation. This is a task assigned by the department, and I can't delay it. If you have any cases today, let Captain Zheng lead you. I'll talk to Captain Zheng later."

Huang Lili said, "Captain, you can go about your business if you have something to do."

Wang Xun said, "Don't worry, Captain, we will do our duty."

Guan Feng nodded, gave a few instructions, and then went to Zheng Yuandong's office. He briefly told Zheng Yuandong about the matter and said, "Captain, the incident happened suddenly. It was a transfer order issued directly by the department. It should be sent to the bureau immediately. This trip should be done as soon as possible."

Zheng Yuandong said, "You go ahead with your work, I'll take care of things in the team."

Guan Feng said, "It's not right to keep troubling the team leader like this. I think we should promote another deputy team leader?"

Zheng Yuandong thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "You're right. Here's what we'll do! When you come back, we'll discuss the candidate for deputy team leader and then submit it to the bureau for approval. While you're out investigating the case this time, you can also think about the candidate for deputy team leader."

Guan Feng said, "Alright! I'll go to Sucheng first."

Next.

Old Huang drove him directly to Sucheng Development Zone.

......

Just last night!

A family of three was killed in Sucheng Development Zone!

The two elderly people are about 50 years old, and their daughter is only 25 years old this year.

The incident immediately caused a sensation. The police in the development zone quickly investigated the scene and found a set of footprints in the courtyard. Considering the seriousness of the case, they immediately requested the Sucheng Major Crimes Team to intervene in the investigation.

After taking over the scene, the Sucheng Major Crimes Team immediately sought help from the provincial department and requested the intervention of footprint identification experts.

Given the complexity and urgency of this family annihilation case, the department dared not delay and dispatched Guan Feng to Sucheng to investigate.

Guan Feng sat in the car and briefly reviewed the case.

One hour later.

He arrived at Sucheng Development Zone.

Captain Wang Yang of the Sucheng Major Crimes Unit had been waiting for a long time.

He caught sight of Guan Feng and immediately went to greet him, exchanging brief pleasantries: "Captain Guan? Our provincial department's youngest specially appointed expert, and a dual expert at that, I've heard so much about you! Let me introduce myself, I'm Wang Yang, the deputy captain of the Sucheng Major Crimes Unit and captain of the First Squadron, in charge of the criminal investigation of the family annihilation case in the development zone. These are my team members, Li Chuang, Liu Jun..."

Guan Feng shook hands and said, "Hello, Captain Wang, hello everyone! The case is urgent, let's go to the scene first."

Wang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there now. Captain Guan has already looked at the case file, right?"

Guan Feng nodded: "I briefly reviewed the case files on the way here," then asked: "Have the forensic results come back yet? Can you determine when the family of three died?"

Wang Yang said, "Based on the degree of rigor mortis in the body, the time of death was between 10 and 11 pm last night."

Guan Feng glanced around and asked, "At this hour, there should still be quite a few people awake. Didn't any of the neighbors hear anything?"

Wang Yang shook his head and said, "This is a development zone. Most of the people have been relocated, and only this street remains. However, many of the residents on this street have also moved away. The neighbors on both sides of this family have all moved to the city. If their relatives hadn't happened to come over this morning, this case probably wouldn't have been discovered so soon."

Guan Feng nodded, pushed open the iron gate, and walked outside.

Almost as soon as I stepped into the courtyard, a strong, pungent smell of blood wafted out of the room.

Guan Feng frowned and said, "So arrogant?"

Wang Yang nodded and said, "All three of them died from a single blow! Their major arteries were severed, and there was a lot of blood at the scene!"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Come on, take me to see those footprints."

Wang Yang led the way to the backyard and pointed to a series of footprints on the ground, saying, "The other party must have entered from the front yard and escaped from the back yard. These are the footprints they left behind. The ones in the front yard are not very clear, but these are clearer. Captain Guan, take a look!"

Guan Feng nodded and squatted down to observe carefully.

However, as he observed, the doubt in his eyes gradually deepened.

Nothing more!

These footprints reminded him of the half-footprint he found when he cracked the Haitian Factory case.

The same old story of a small horse pulling a large cart!

Is it really necessary to steal someone else's shoes in this situation?

He didn't jump to conclusions, but asked, "You just said the footprints inside are unclear?"

Wang Yang nodded and said, "It rained last night, and the footprints in the front yard were rather sparse. Strangely enough, although the footprints indicated that the other party entered through the front door, our people did not find any clues."

He further explained simply: "There is a camera in the front yard of the victim's house that can capture most of the yard scene, but when we retrieved the surveillance footage, we did not find any trace of the suspect. Considering that the surveillance does have a 30-degree blind spot, we deduced that the other party climbed over the wall to avoid the blind spot."

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Captain Wang, please wait a moment. Let me examine these footprints first. I believe we will know how the other party got in soon."

Wang Yang then led him to the front yard and watched him squat down and carefully examine the items.

......

at the same time.

The other team members all learned that the provincial department had sent experts over.

Many people were seeing a footprint identification expert for the first time and gathered around to examine Guan Feng.

"Captain, is he the youngest expert in our provincial department?"

"He looks way too young. Are you sure someone like that can get a diagnosis?"

"It doesn't seem very reliable."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Wang Yang frowned and said, "Don't you know the level of those old experts in the hall? Aren't they all truly capable? Why are you gossiping behind their backs? Get back to work! If you have nothing better to do, find all the security cameras around here and compare them one by one!"

The team members all fell silent and looked dejected.

And at this time.

Guan Feng was staring intently at the footprints on the ground.

As he continued to observe, these footprints became increasingly clear.

The signs of a small horse pulling a large cart are becoming increasingly obvious!

This further confirms Guan Feng's previous judgment.

The murderer is trying to cover it up!

He deliberately wore his shoes backwards and always entered and exited through the back door, but intentionally walked through the front yard, creating traces of deliberate trampling to mislead the police investigation.

Guan Feng put aside his distracting thoughts and began to examine the marks on the ground.

Gradually!

The stress coefficient of soil...

The length and size of the footprints...

A powerful palm strike covers the entire surface...

These data kept appearing in Guan Feng's mind.

Half an hour later.

A figure seemed to walk over these footprints.
