Team Zhu was indeed speechless.

How can you look closely? It is said that you saw fingerprints with your naked eye. If this is the way to look closely, then I guess no one can look closely.

But these words came out of Mu Yuan's mouth, and he had to be convinced.

As he spoke, Mu Yuan had already walked some distance to the left.

Further on, the gate in and out of the town.

In fact, it is not a gate, it is a memorial arch, which may also be the characteristic of many ancient towns - there is no archway, you are embarrassed to say that it is an ancient town?

Mu Yuan walked very slowly, constantly scanning the ground.

Team Zhu was also watching.

He wanted to see if he could spot the anomaly before the detachment.

Or, when the Mu detachment sees the abnormality, he can also find some clues, so as not to follow behind like a fool.

This path is on the east side of the ancient town, next to a small stream.

The creek was a serious stream, very shallow and narrow, and certainly not sinking underneath with the corpse.

This path is not long, and a little further on, there are a few steps, and above the stairs are the streets of the ancient town.

He hadn't gone far before Mu Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes scanning the wasteland on both sides.

Team Zhu's heart moved, and his eyes also moved over.

Grass...... It's normal grass.

Earth...... is normal.

The road is also the normal road.

Water, nothing special.

He looked around the whole place, but he didn't see anything.

Then, he looked at Mu Yuan.

After Mu Yuan looked at it for a while, he suddenly half-squatted and leaned out towards the edge of the stream.

Team Zhu was stunned, and also followed his head to look under the stream.

"There...... There seems to be something. Team Zhu's eyes flashed.

He did see something in the dirt by the creek, shiny and shiny.

"This should be a pearl earring, right?"

The trail is not high above the water, less than a foot or so.

When Team Zhu spoke, Mu Yuan had already reached out and picked up the thing.

A pearl earring indeed.

"Looks like something must have happened here that night. Mu Yuan said seriously.

Team Zhu was a little puzzled and asked, "Why? Mu Detachment, are you sure that these earrings must be Ge Ruxue's?"

Mu Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

Team Zhu couldn't laugh or cry, it's already amazing that eight or nine is not far from ten, right?

"How do you judge?...... Okay, let's not talk about that, Mu detachment, I feel weird, how do you know there's something down here?"

Mu Yuan said: "It's very simple, you see the grass on the side of the road, there are traces of being trampled." ”

"There are traces of trampling in other places. "Team Zhu is like a studious baby, but he is also like a bar.

Mu Yuan didn't care, and patiently explained: "It's different. The stampede here is a bit more messy. Of course, you have to look closely to see it. ...... Hey, there's a few hairs here. Look, isn't this similar to the hair we just saw?"

Team Zhu opened his mouth slightly, looked at the few hairs that Mu Yuan was carrying in his hands, and suddenly had some self-doubt.

Is it really my observation skills that weak?

Not to mention the earrings, why didn't I see the hair just now? You know, in the parking lot before, those hairs have already given them some hints.

"Maybe I'm not careful enough!"

He felt a little self-reproach in his heart, and then carefully looked at the hairs in Mu Yuan's hand, and said, "It seems to be ...... Almost. ”

"That's fine. Mu Yuan said, "There is only one thing, it may be a coincidence, and if several appear in a row, then it is not a coincidence." ”

After speaking, Mu Yuan took out his mobile phone and called Team Zhang.

The purpose of the call is also very simple, that is, to ask the other party to add his own WeChat, and then he can send the appearance of the earrings to the past, so that Zhang Brigade can find someone to identify it.

As long as it is confirmed that this thing is indeed Ge Ruxue's, then most of the things that have happened in this place.

After all, even the earrings have fallen off, and there is hair, it is certainly not as simple as passing by.

As long as this situation is confirmed, Mu Yuan will be able to launch some things.

After some contact, Mu Yuan did not continue to move forward, he was still searching in the same place.

Although the matter of the earrings still needs to be verified, in Mu Yuan's eyes, he has actually affirmed eight or nine points, and this place is the place where the murderer is responsible.

Although there are still video materials to watch when I go back later, and I may be able to find some clues from them, Mu Yuan still did not give up on the scene.

Perhaps, what can be seen?

In fact, the reason why Mu Yuan was able to find this place was not entirely because of his extraordinary observation, mainly because of the hairs mentioned later.

After all, having the material tracker in hand, coupled with the hair he had just found in the B&B room, gave Mu Yuan room to operate.

It's a pity that after the initial search, Mu Yuan only found a few relatively faint points of light, indicating that there was a small amount of hair in these places, and as for where Ge Ruxue himself was now, he didn't get an answer.

After all, if you really search for Ge Ruxue herself, it will definitely not be one or two small spots of light, after all, it is a head full of long hair.

Xiao Mao also continued to carry out a carpet search around with the material tracker, and when they were in the parking lot just now, Xiao Mao had already searched for a radius of more than 30 kilometers, but still found no trace of Ge Ruxue.

This is why Mu Yuan guessed that someone drove Ge Ruxue away.

After all, if it's on foot, it doesn't make sense to just find hair near the town and nothing else.

And now, Xiao Mao's search distance is even close to a radius of 100 kilometers, and Ge Ruxue still has little news.

In this regard, Mu Yuan also has some speculations of his own.

Perhaps, that Ge Ruxue is not dead, but has been kidnapped.

The reason is simple, if Ge Ruxue has already been killed, it is unlikely that the suspect will walk hundreds of kilometers with the body.

Although the last murder case Mu Yuan handled, the suspect threw the body across the province, but after all, it was only a special case, and in most cases, the suspect would choose to throw the body nearby and leave the country with the body, and it was easy to be caught.

Of course, it is equally easy to be exposed by running so far with a living person, but the exposure of a dead person and the exposure of a living person are completely different things, and the severity of the crime of kidnapping and homicide are completely different.

Now, Xiao Mao is still searching, as for how far he has to fly to find Ge Ruxue, to be honest, Mu Yuan has no bottom in his heart.

He didn't completely pin his hopes on Xiao Mao, if something could be found in the place in front of him, which would allow them to lock on to the suspect - let's think there was a suspect - it would also be very helpful to find out the whole thing.

After a few more steps, we came to the stone steps.

There are fourteen or fifteen steps in this stone staircase, and it looks quite old.

Mu Yuan didn't stop, he climbed the stone steps directly, and looked at the street in front of him.

This is equivalent to a three-way intersection, along the direction of the creek is a main street, relatively wide, the stone steps where Mu Yuan is now located is a gap between the two wooden buildings, very narrow kind. On the diagonal opposite side of this gap is an alley, where the homestay where Ge Ruxue lived before is in that alley.

At the entrance of the alley, there was a surveillance camera, which did record the footage of Ge Ruxue passing underneath, and it was the last surveillance footage that could be found.

"Mu detachment, how did you say that this Ge Ruxue came to the bottom of this stream?"

Mu Yuan said: "I guess she didn't take the initiative to come down." It's almost 12 o'clock in the evening, how can a girl run down here alone? There are no street lights down here. ”

"But...... This is the street, does anyone dare to tie people up on this street? Although it is past 11 o'clock in the evening, not everyone is asleep. ”

Mu Yuan didn't speak again.

If you want to figure this out, it is estimated that you have to look at the surrounding situation after 11 p.m. to really understand the situation at that time.

This point, for others, can only wait until tonight to watch it, but Mu Yuan doesn't need it, he can go back in time.

You don't have to go back to the night of the incident, just look at the scene after 11 p.m. in this place.

Of course, one night is not representative, there may be coincidences, so a few more nights can be used as a reference.

Mu Yuan walked forward and stood on the street.

In the next second, the day in front of me fell into darkness, and a few glowing street lamps stood on both sides of the street, and there were a few people walking on the road.

The stores that were all open during the day were basically closed at night, and only two or three were still open.

The furthest one is supposed to be a barbecue restaurant, a little further back is a kiosk, and a shop selling souvenirs is still open......

In the blink of an eye, Mu Yuan canceled the time rewind - just take a photo, there is no need to record a video.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yuan used time rewind for the second time, and the time of regression was pushed forward by one day.

Another picture was filmed.

Soon, Mu Yuan stopped, he looked at the street in front of him, and suddenly said: "Team Zhu, look at the position we are standing now, if the light is not very good at night, if you look at it from a slightly farther position, is it just to avoid the light here?"

Team Zhu was stunned: "Avoid the light?

Mu Yuan casually pointed to the two closest street lamps to this side, and then pointed to the second attic that stretched out a section above his head.

"Here, it's darkened. ”

Team Zhu carefully compared and said, "Well, it's possible." ”

"If a person happens to walk past here at night and is controlled, most people in other places will not be able to see it. ”

"This ...... Possibly. "Team Zhu is a little unsure, after all, he has not personally seen the situation here at night," but...... Even if we deduce this, it won't help much to find Ge Ruxue, right?"

Mu Yuan said calmly: "Let's not talk about whether it will help you find someone for the time being, at least it will be helpful for the subsequent interrogation." ”

Zhu Brigade did not refute.

"Let's go back. Mu Yuan said, turned around and walked back.

Walking back from the heart to the place where he had just found the earrings, he suddenly stopped.

"Wait! Mu Yuan said with some excitement.

Team Zhu hurriedly asked, "What?"

"Footprints!"

"Footprints? The footprints here are very messy, and this was more than ten days ago, even if there are few people walking on this path, the footprints of more than ten days ago are almost destroyed. ”

Mu Yuan grinned and said, "How do you know if you don't look at it?"

With that, he crouched down again, carefully looking at the footprints on the ground.

There were a lot of footprints on the ground, some new and some from a long time ago.

Because it is close to the stream and the ground is wet, the footprints are relatively clear.

Mu Yuan looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly pointed to a footprint with only his heel left and said, "Team Zhu, take a look at this." ”

"This footprint should have been left by a man, and the sole of the shoe was relatively large. On top of this footprint, four or five footprints have been covered, and only the heel remains, which must have been there for some time. But for exactly how long, it is impossible to speculate. ”

"Time is not important, what matters is texture. ”

"Texture? This kind of wavy soles are still very common, what does this have to do with Ge Ruxue's disappearance?"

Mu Yuan didn't answer directly, but took a few steps back and said, "Look at this footprint again." ”

Team Zhu looked at it intently, and sure enough, there was a footprint, and there was only one heel left, and the texture of the sole was the same.

"It's the same person who left it. The Zhu brigade quickly made a conclusion.

"What's the difference between looking at the two footprints again?" Mu Yuan seemed to be a good teacher.

Team Zhu furrowed his brows and observed carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "The depth is different, the depth of the footprints is different, the front footprint is deeper into the soil, and the back one is shallower." ”

"That's right!" Mu Yuan nodded, "It's just two footprints, maybe it's a coincidence, you can see if there are other such footprints, the soles are wavy." ”

A few minutes later, they found several sets of footprints.

There are residual heels, residual middle parts, and even more soles of the feet.

These footprints may seem irregular, but if you look closely, you can see the difference.

Taking the location where the earrings were found just now as the demarcation point, the part of the road that goes in the direction of the stone steps in that place, the footprints in the soil are relatively shallow, and after passing this place, the footprints behind are relatively deeper.

If it's just a footprint, it's probably a coincidence, like the owner of the footprint stepping on it.

And now, it is no coincidence that the footprints left by this person are all like this.

This person, the weight of the front and back is not the same.

"It seems that we have to ask Team Zhang to find someone who specializes in field surveys to come over and extract these footprints. Mu Yuan said.

Although he has a wealth of knowledge about trace inspection, he is unable to extract these footprints because he has no tools and materials.

Moreover, these footprints are too badly damaged, and after they are extracted, they need to be further spliced and combined to obtain complete footprints......
