But Gu Yanping did his ideological work, so he had to bite the bullet and take a walk. Although he is the same as other people who have not committed crimes but are listed as suspects, he is confident, but he is inevitably a little panicked and nervous. He was also afraid that the female police officer would look away, or not be able to distinguish at all, so he blindly identified him and put him in, which would be very troublesome to clear himself.

A man in a police uniform also walked around, and Officer Long felt a little strange, so he looked at him seriously. This glance made Wei Honglie feel even more embarrassed and uneasy. But he walked back and forth more naturally, and Officer Long said, "Next." Wei Honglie felt that he was fine, and his hanging heart relaxed.

Bai Yongbing was compiled on the ninth, which is the ninth appearance. He walked into the conference room, first glanced curiously at the mud and sand on the ground, and then bent down to put on Lei Xiaobo's shoes. He straightened up with a natural expression, hesitated, and began to walk.

Bai Yongbing's walking posture is very standard, his steps are very steady, his body is not shaking, he is as serious and confident as he is walking on the red ground. looks confident and has nothing to do with him.

But Officer Long didn't say the next one after he walked back and forth, but looked at his footprints suspiciously, and said to him, "You go again." ”

When Bai Bingyong heard this, his body shook, and then he stood there still.

He was visibly taken aback. This look and details, after Gu Yanping found out, he and Cui Huabing looked at each other.

Bai Yongbing hesitated slightly, then took another step and walked again on the mud and sand. This time, his steps were different from just now, a little chaotic and unsteady. I don't know if he did it on purpose, or if he was scared.

Officer Long made a note on the paper before he said, "Next." ”

After the last two suspects left, Officer Long returned to the conference room, sat down at the conference table with a solemn expression, and repeatedly looked at the footprint photos of his mobile phone, Lei Xiaobo's leather shoes, and the paper recorded in his hand.

The seven members of the task force walked into the conference room one after another, sat down silently at the conference table, looked at the police officer without blinking, and did not say anything.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit tense.

Officer Long finally looked up from the paper and mobile phone photos and announced, "I think that this footprint at the scene was left by the nineth." ”

"Huh?" there was a sound of surprise in the room.

Gao Linbao asked, "Who is the nineth?"

Gu Yanping said: "Bai Yongbing." ”

Gao Linbao said happily: "It's the person Lei Xiaobo suspects, that's right." In this way, Lei Xiaobo's suspicion can be lifted. ”

Gu Yanping's mood was very complicated, he was both surprised and expected by the identification results. So he was both pleasantly surprised and happy for Lei Xiaobo. Feeling a little uneasy and embarrassed, he felt that he had failed in his duty.

It turned out that it was really Bai Yongbing, so as a result of our investigation, why didn't he have time to commit the crime? What link went wrong and made us come to the wrong conclusion?

Xu Yuyu, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, glanced at Gu Yanping. The meaning of this glance is also very complicated, including complaints about Gu Yanping's dereliction of duty or limited ability, and suspicion of Officer Long's identification.

So, before Gao Linbao was about to announce his decision to release Lei Xiaobo, he hurriedly asked Officer Long: "Officer Long, are you sure that this footprint is from No. 9?"

Officer Long nodded affirmatively, and said in a soft voice, "I'm sure." ”

Xu Yuyu asked again: "Where do you see it?"

Officer Long pointed to the photo of the footprints at the scene, and compared it with the photo of the footprints left by Bai Yongbing just now, and said: "The stride length of No. 9 is the closest to the stride length of the footprints left at the scene; No. 9 is an outward foot, and the footprints left at the scene are also outward foot-skimming; No. 9's heel is heavier, so the mark on the back heel is slightly deeper, which is consistent with the deeper heel of the footprint at the scene." Although five of the eleven suspects are out-of-the-box, only Nine is the only one who fully fits these three points. ”

Xu Yuyu and Gu Yan looked at each other, they were both convinced by Officer Long's explanation, and felt that it made sense, and they deserved to be a master in the identification of footprints.

"It's really worthy of its name, it's definitely a master. We would like to express our gratitude and congratulations to Officer Long!" Gao Linbao stretched out his hand and applauded, "No. 9, is our second suspect. ”

The other six members of the task force also applauded, expressing their admiration and respect for her.

As soon as the applause stopped, Gao Linbao announced with some eagerness: "This shows that the suspect Lei Xiaobo who is in the first place has been wronged, he has no time to commit the crime, and now Officer Long has identified that this footprint at the scene is not his, so his suspicion can be lifted." We need to apologize to him and let him go right away. ”

When Gu Yanping heard this, his heart became anxious. But he didn't dare to say it, so he looked at Xu Yuyu.

Xu Yuyu hurriedly said: "But the problem is that Bai Yongbing has no time to commit the crime, and now Officer Long said that this footprint is also his, if he doesn't admit it, what should he do?"

At this question, everyone in the room froze. Even Officer Long was stunned there, looking at Gao Xu and the two directors who had different opinions, and didn't know what to say for a while.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

After more than a minute, Gao Linbao said: "The biggest possibility now is that Bai Yongbing stole Lei Xiaobo's leather shoes, and then returned them after going to the scene to commit the crime." Therefore, we must re-investigate the time of Bai Yongbing's crime, increase the intensity of Bai Yongbing's interrogation, and find a way to make him speak the truth. ”

Gu Yanping had a different opinion on releasing Lei Xiaobo immediately, but he still didn't dare to raise it in person, so he looked at the two criminal investigators of the city bureau and hoped that they would raise objections.

Cui Huabing understood Gu Yanping's eyes, and plucked up the courage to say: "But Gao Ju, I don't think it's appropriate to release Lei Xiaobo before Bai Yongbing confesses, or before it is confirmed that he is the real criminal." Because the shoes left at the scene belonged to Lei Xiaobo after all. As far as the footprints are Bai Yongbing's, it is just a judgment of Officer Long. Officer Long, don't have any ideas, we'll talk about things now. Here, I would like to ask the High Bureau, whether Officer Long's judgment alone can be used as the basis for closing the case?"

Gao Linbao was dumbfounded again when he asked him like this. He couldn't answer this question, and he didn't dare to be arbitrary, so he had to ask for help and look at Officer Long with his eyes.

Officer Long had been listening to their arguments silently, and now that he saw that Gao Ju was looking at her for help, he had to make a statement:
