Lin Jiangbei didn't know the level of photography in Los Angeles at this time, and was worried that it would take too long, so he asked Zhong Yingcai: "How long will it take for the remake to be developed?" ”

"The time of ordinary photo studio will be relatively long, but I found this Tianhua photo studio to be responsible for undertaking the photography business of military schools and aviation schools. Equipped with a state-of-the-art large wooden camera and a reverse phantom lamp, you can enlarge or reduce the molds of various sizes and scales, and develop them directly on the photosensitive paper, without the need for dry films, eliminating the need for dry film development, fixing and air-drying most of the time, if we retake no more than 50 photos, it is estimated that it can be completed within 10 minutes. ”

Zhong Yingcai replied: "And Tianhua Photo Studio is less than half a mile away from here, plus the round-trip time, it will take twenty minutes at most!" ”

"That's not a long time!" Lin Jiangbei nodded, "While we are remaking photos, let's go around behind the low wall of the boiler room and search." Maybe you'll find more clues! ”

"Okay, I just happened to take this opportunity to learn more from you about the techniques of searching!" Zhong Yingcai asked Shen Changyin to find another flashlight, held it in his hand, followed Lin Jiangbei, and asked Shen Changyin to open the back door of the Los Angeles Hotel with a key, and walked out of the back door, as for Ruan Deyi, he naturally followed closely behind the two.

Several soldiers from the service battalion were guarding the back door, and when they saw Zhong Yingcai and Lin Jiangbei coming out, they hurriedly raised their hands and saluted.

"Did you find anything?" Lin Jiangbei asked.

"Report sir, there's nothing special about it." The first non-commissioned officer replied, "We haven't seen a single pedestrian since we came here. ”

Lin Jiangbei nodded, not surprised. The overall economic level of Los Angeles is much worse than that of Hangzhou, and the urban construction is also relatively lagging behind. Compared to the bustling front door of the Lodo Hotel, the back door is simply two worlds, there is only a narrow cinder road, no street lights, and the roadside is full of weeds and trees. Pedestrians may walk from here during the day, but after nightfall, no one wants to walk this narrow black road unless they are particularly brave.

As for the flashlight, it is definitely a high-end household appliance at this time, and it cannot be used by non-rich people. When he came out at night, he could carry a lantern in his hand, and at this time Los Angeles was already considered a well-off family.

The murderer who killed Ji Wenguang should also know the situation here very well, so he chose to jump over the wall from here to enter the Los Dows Hotel, right?

Lin Jiangbei took a flashlight, shone on the ground, and led Zhong Yingcai and Ruan Deyi to walk in the direction of the back wall of the boiler, walked about 20 meters, turned a corner, and arrived at the back wall of the boiler room.

Due to the fact that the ground is covered with dead grass, the footprints on this side are not obvious, but it is possible to see some traces by the lodging of the dead grass. It's just that the traces disappear when they reach the cinder road.

Obviously, the idea of tracing the murderer through footprints is unrealistic.

Lin Jiangbei gave up the study of footprints and began to study a persimmon tree next to the back wall with a flashlight. Because the terrain outside is much lower than the courtyard of the Lodo Hotel, so from the outside, the height of the back wall is not low, and judging from the trampling marks on the trunk, the murderer should have entered the courtyard of the Lodo Hotel with the help of this persimmon tree.

So Lin Jiangbei also climbed the persimmon tree and carefully checked it on the persimmon tree with a flashlight.

The so-called emperor lives up to his wishes, Lin Jiangbei found a wisp of shiny things on a dead branch of the persimmon tree, and after careful identification, Lin Jiangbei determined that this should be a wisp of clothing fiber. Judging from the brand-new fracture of the fiber, it should be that the clothes on the murderer's body were accidentally left behind by the branches when he was on the tree or off the tree.

Judging from the color and texture, Lin Jiangbei thought that this strand of fiber was probably left on the gray tweed scarf around the murderer's neck that the deputy manager of the lobby saw.

Lin Jiangbei carefully took off this strand of fiber, then jumped down from the tree and showed Zhong Yingcai the strand of fiber in his hand, "Brother Yingcai, you see, we have a new harvest, this strand of fiber should be left on the tweed velvet scarf around the murderer's neck." ”

Zhong Yingcai looked at Lin Jiangbei holding the strand of fiber as if he was holding a treasure, and asked, "Jiangbei, could it be that this wisp of fiber, can it still be of great use?" ”

"Of course," Lin Jiangbei took the wisp of fiber and changed the angle under the flashlight, and said to Zhong Yingcai: "Have you noticed that this strand of gray fiber has a little bit of luster under the light?" ”

"This kind of tweed velvet is definitely a high-end product, and we can never produce it in China, even in those foreign fabric factories, there are few that can produce it!"

Speaking of this, Lin Jiangbei looked at Zhong Yingcai, "Brother Yingcai, do you know which more famous tailor shops are there here in Los Angeles?" When he left Los Angeles, he was not yet eighteen years old, and he had no knowledge of the tailor shops in Los Angeles, so he had to turn to Zhong Yingcai for help.

"A famous tailor shop?" Zhong Yingcai pondered for a moment and said: "The old Shanghai tailor shop on East Street, the Renyi garment shop at the north gate, and the Xiangxing garment shop on Datong Street are all relatively famous in Los Angeles!" ”

Lin Jiangbei raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then asked, "It's ten o'clock, these tailor shops should be closed, right?" ”

Zhong Yingcai said: "The door is closed, but there should be people in the store." The work they take on during the day has to be processed at night! ”

"That's good!" Lin Jiangbei said, "Brother Yingcai, the photo should be remade at this time." Let's divide the troops into two ways, you lead your men to conduct a large-scale search in Los Angeles, and try to find the person in the photo as soon as possible. ”

"As for me, take this strand of fiber to the three tailor shops, and let the master of the tailor shop see what the material is, and see if I can follow this clue to find the murderer."

"That's fine!" Zhong Yingcai pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll send you two local brothers in Los Angeles, they are more familiar with the situation in Los Angeles and can show you the way!" ”

A few people returned to the Los Dows Hotel, and sure enough, the photos had been retaken, Lin Jiangbei took back his sketch portrait, took two more photos, and then Zhong Yingcai assigned two local service battalion soldiers in Los Angeles to accompany him to the nearest Xiangxing garment shop from the Los Dows Hotel!

Zhong Yingcai took the deputy manager of the lobby of the Los Dows Hotel and Ruan Dexing, who had seen the murderer's true face, and rushed to the Los Angeles Police Station first.

To carry out a city-wide search, it is necessary to get the assistance of the Los Angeles Police Department, especially the patrol officers of the police station under the police station, they are very familiar with the residents in their respective household registration areas, first let these patrol officers identify the photos, whether they know the murderer or not, is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut!
