Section 10 Liu Cun Zhou Cun looks at the shoe prints, and the case of collusion is due to traces

In the following days, the case continued.

Liu.

"How did you find out that the cattle were stolen?" Team leader Ah Jian asked.

"I got up at six in the morning to get the cow to do something, and I found that the cow was gone." Liu Laohan replied.

"And when was the last time you saw a cow?" Team leader Ah Jian continued to ask.

"At eight o'clock last night, I led the cow to the cattle pen and put a lot of grass so that the cattle could eat at night." Liu Laohan continued to answer.

"Tell me about the characteristics of your cattle?" Ah Jian asked again.

"Three years old, very tall, there are two healthy cows on the head, one in the direction and one in the opposite direction, the whole body is black, only the four feet are white hair, we all call it 'four hooves on the snow', many people have taken a fancy to my cattle, but I am reluctant to sell!" Lao Liu's words were full of pride.

"Who are the people who are coming to buy your cattle?" I hastened to add.

"Why are you asking this?" Lao Liu was a little surprised.

"Can't you say that?" Team leader Ah Jian asked rhetorically.

"You can speak, you can speak. Two or three batches of cattle brokers came, and I didn't know any of these people, and I don't know where they knew about my cattle. But, no matter what they say, I just don't sell! They had no choice but to leave. Lao Liu replied.

"Don't you know any of them?" I asked again.

Lao Liu nodded.

"Did you notice anything unusual before the cattle were stolen?" Team leader Ah Jian continued to ask.

"Abnormal? What can be abnormal, it's all normal, this cow can eat, drink, and do things, there is nothing abnormal? Lao Liu replied.

"Did you notice anything different last night? For example, do you hear any noises, do you hear a dog barking or something? I asked, this Lao Liu's answer was a bit messy, so I had to ask directly.

"Is this abnormal? Well, in the second half of last night, the dog barked twice! Lao Liu was a little unhappy.

"What time is it?" Team leader Ajian became interested and quickly asked.

"Once at two o'clock, and again at five." Lao Liu thought about it and replied.

"How do you know it's two o'clock and it's five o'clock?" Obviously, Team Leader Ah Jian didn't want to let go of this detail.

"I guess, I don't have a watch or anything." Lao Liu answered truthfully.

"Then you go ahead and talk about the dog barking twice." Team leader Ah Jian changed the subject.

"If the dog barks, the dog barks, what else is there to do with the dog." Lao Liu replied.

"Team Leader Ajian, let's visit others, you and Lao Liu continue to ask." I want to leave.

"What are you doing, let's ask together." Team leader Ah Jian looked at me and said.

I had no choice but to continue to sit and listen to Team Leader A Jian continue to ask Lao Liu.

Team leader A Jian asked a lot of questions, Lao Liu still answered in a mess, I listened patiently to the surname, and then left Lao Liu's house with Team Leader A Jian and walked to his bullpen.

At the east end of Wanzi, there is a long house, the house is low, covered with tiles, Lao Liu said, this is their Wanzi cattle pen, most of the cattle are in this cowpen.

Pushing open the door of his cowpen, the stench inside was unbearable, and Team Leader Ah Jian and I continued to walk in.

The light inside is also dim, and it is full of various mixed flavors.

I took a closer look at the ground and asked:

"Lao Liu, after this cow was stolen, who came to the cowpen?"

"As for me, and my son, and no one else came in, they were afraid of the smell. I led the cow into the barn by myself last night. Lao Liu replied.

"Call your son over and bring me the shoes you wore from last night to today, and I want to see them." Also, you take a flashlight. I commanded.

Soon, Lao Liu and his son came over, and the two of them had shoes in their hands. I took the flashlight and shoes, and went into the bullpen with Team Leader Ah Jian.

"Captain Jian, you see, the shoe prints of Lao Liu and his son are different from the shoe prints left on the cow. Their lumpy and grid-shaped, while the cow dung is wavy, judging from the shoe prints, it is likely that they were left by the perpetrators, and they are probably the liberation shoes that are most commonly worn in the countryside. I said.

"You know that, too? Isn't that a technical team's business? Ah Jian asked.

I took out my camera, took a picture of the shoe prints, and said, "Let's go out and talk." ”

Out of the cowpen, I took a few deep breaths, pulled Team Leader Ajian aside, and explained:

"I learned a little bit of this in school, I know a little bit of fur, and I learned from Xiao Ke of the technical team last time, I can only say that I know what to do, and I really don't know the specifics."

"What do you mean by this?" Team leader Ah Jian asked.

"We have sent so many cases, whether it was done by a group of people, I don't know the bottom of my heart, if this kind of shoe print appears in different scenes, then these cases can be investigated together." I replied.

"That's a very good idea, just do what you say!" Team leader Ah Jian praised.

We continued our investigation throughout Wanzi, focusing on the sound of two dog barks at two o'clock and five o'clock that Liu Laohan said.

"Team Leader Ajian, I haven't seen you come to our bay for several years." Liu Longtao said.

"Lao Liu, what have you been busy with lately? The village cadres didn't do it? Team leader Ah Jian said hello.

"I'm old, I'm old, what are you doing in that position, just retire, now, I'm relaxed." Liu Longtao replied.

"Lao Liu, I forgot to introduce to you, this is Xiao Li from our police station." Team leader Ah Jian introduced me.

"I've heard about it for a long time, and he's very good at solving cases." Liu Longtao said, and said hello again:

"Xiao Li, that's good."

"Accountant Liu, you're okay." I also said hello back, saying that Team Leader Ah Jian introduced his position at that time.

"Haha, don't call me accountant, just call me Lao Liu." Lao Liu said again.

"Accountant Liu, did you hear any noise last night?" I asked about the situation.

"Two dog barks, the first at 2:10 and the second at 4:50." Liu Longtao replied affirmatively.

"Why is the time so accurate?" I asked.

"Cadre Li, I'm looking at my watch." Liu Longtao replied and stretched out his watch.

"This watch is very good, let me take a look?" I said with a smile.

Liu Longtao generously gave me the watch, and I picked up BP for comparison, and the two times were the same.

I flipped the watch over and over a few more times, then returned it to Lao Liu, and said:

"It's really good, it's beautiful, it's accurate!"

"Of course! This is what my son bought for me. Liu Longtao said proudly.

"Is there anything else going on since you heard the noise last night?" I continued.

"The second time the dog barked, I got up and searched for the sound of the dog's barking, but found nothing. I stood at the intersection of Wanzi Road and looked at it, but I didn't find anything, so I went home and went to sleep? Liu Longtao replied.

"The dog barked, and you got up? Do you usually do the same? I asked again.

"Cadre Li, I've heard that there have been a lot of cattle stealing recently, so I'm paying attention to it. When I was old, I couldn't sleep at night, so I got up to see if there was any cattle stealing. Who knew that the cow was really stolen, if I had known, I would have chased farther away and caught this cow thief! Lao Liu said with a righteous face.

"Thank you, old accountant, you should also pay attention to safety." I praise, remind.

We asked a lot of people in Wanzi, and the situation was basically the same, but only Liu Longtao reported the most accurate time.

Zhou Village.

"Team Leader Ajian, you must help us find the cow!" Lao Zhou excitedly shook the hand of Team Leader A Jian.

"Old Zhou, don't get excited, we will definitely try our best to solve the case. Let's talk about the situation first. Team leader Ah Jian said and sat down.

Everyone sat around the old Zhou Tang house and listened to his briefing.

"At seven o'clock last night I led two cows to the barn, and at six o'clock this morning I got up to do some work and found that the cows were gone. If you want to say that the cow escaped, it can't be so coincidental, two cows escaped at the same time, right? Lao Zhou asked.

"Tell me about the specific characteristics of the two cows?" Team leader Ah Jian said.

"A four-year-old yellow bull with a lot of hair on its back, a little white in the yellow, short and straight horns, a key on its head, which is a double helix, a wooden cork with a cow's nose, and a red cow rope; The other is a three-year-old water bull, with very little hair on its back, the hair is a little grayish-white, the horns are curved, the cow is tied to the inside of the cow's nose with an iron bolt, and the cow rope is hemp rope. These two cows are very strong, the Yellow Bull must weigh at least 180 catties, and the Water Bull is estimated to weigh more than 200 catties. Lao Zhou replied.

"Did you notice anything unusual last night?" Team leader Ah Jian continued to ask.

"No, I did a day's work yesterday, and I was tired, so I fell asleep when I lay down." Lao Zhou's voice.

"Xiao Li, do you have anything else to ask?" Team leader Ah Jian said to me.

"Let's take a look at the bullpen first." I replied.

When the group arrived at the bullpen, it was also a lonely thatched house standing on the outskirts of the village, and there was no door, only the door frame, which was different from the old Lei family, this bullpen was relatively larger, and the space inside was relatively spacious.

I took the lamp in Lao Zhou's hand and looked at the ground seriously.

"Team Leader Ajian, come and see." I said.

"What do you see again?" Team leader Ah Jian asked.

I stopped Lao Zhou, who was about to follow up.

"Team Leader Ajian, look, do you have an impression of this wavy shoe print?" I said, pointing to a piece of damp dirt.

"Liu Laohan also has this kind of shoe print in the bullpen!" Team leader A Jian said in surprise.

I smiled and nodded, and after taking the photo, the two of them left the cattle pen and found an empty spot to talk.

"So, Liu Laohan's cattle and Lao Zhou's cattle were stolen by one person?" Team leader Ah Jian looked at me with wide eyes and asked me.

I nodded again.

"These two villages are dozens of kilometers apart, and this cattle thief is really not afraid of hard work!" Team leader Ah Jian sighed.

"This kind of low-level people are not afraid of hard work, they rely on their own physical strength to commit crimes, physical strength is their capital, and hard work is a trivial matter for them." I replied.

"Could it be someone from these two villages? I've always felt a little familiar with the situation of ploughing cattle. Team leader A Jian asked.

"There are still such possible surnames, but they are not very big." I replied.

"Why do you say that?" Team leader Ah Jian continued to ask.

"You see, whether it is the cattle of the old Liu family or the cattle of the old Zhou family, they are all tied to the cattle pen, and the cattle pen is far away from the village, which is an obvious goal, when the perpetrator commits the crime, it is often late at night, and it is not easy to be found. As long as they walk around the village during the day, they can understand where the cattle pen is. Even if you don't step on it during the day, you can also know the location of the bullpen if you go around the bay at night. Therefore, it is not necessarily related to the people of these two villages. If, we follow this analysis direction, we will only waste a lot of our time, and I would suggest not doing it. "I said it seriously.

Team leader Ah Jian also nodded heavily.

After visiting the surrounding area and asking for valuable clues, we returned to the police station. (To be continued.) )
