"Forensic Medical Officer Ge, do you remember how this officer taught you how to derive a person's identity information from footprints?" Meng Yan asked.

"Of course I remember." Ge Tong was a spirit, but fortunately Meng Yan reminded him that he almost forgot about such an important method.

"You came to sue the officer, what are the basic characteristics of the person who left this footprint?" Meng Yan asked, pointing to the footprints on the ground.

Ge Tong stretched out his hand to measure the length and width of the footprints, and silently calculated according to the formula in his heart.

Then, he stood up, removed his feet, compared the depth of the footprints of the two, and looked up.

"My lord, this person is about five feet six inches tall, about thirty years old, and his weight is roughly the same as that of a lowly position, about one hundred and twenty pounds, and judging from his walking posture, he likes to drag his feet." Ge Tong said solemnly.

Everyone was stunned, and with a glance at the footprints, they could draw so many conclusions, even the posture of walking?

Ma Weiran is also a parent official, and he has also broken many cases during his tenure, but he has never seen such a miracle.

"Master Meng, this is too mysterious, just such a footprint, can you see so many things?" Xing'an was the first to ask questioningly.

"If Gonggong Xing doesn't believe it, you left a footprint in the past, and let Forensic Doctor Ge also take a look at it to see if what he said is accurate?" Meng Yan smiled slightly.

Hao Xing'an nodded, walked over, and left a footprint on the edge of Ge Tong just now.

"I won't talk about the height, everyone knows it at a glance, I'll just say that the weight of Xing's father-in-law is about one hundred and ten pounds, and he is used to walking on his toes, probably because he usually walks in a hurry, so. The front is heavy, the back is light, and it is clear from the footprints, and the soles are very abrasive, and this type of person walks very often. There are those who go fast, and the identity is generally a domestic servant or a slave or something, but judging from the shape of the shoe print, this is a boot, and ordinary people are not qualified to wear boots. Officials in the palace! Ge Tong pointed to the footprints left by Xing'an and said.

God!

Xing'an's eyes widened, he could see so many things with just one footprint, which was simply incredible.

Could it be that he knew his identity for a long time and said this on purpose?

Although Xing'an still doesn't believe it in his heart, where are the shoe prints, Ge Tong is not a groundless nonsense.

"Is there still someone who doesn't believe it, you can find someone from the street to come over? I'll have Ge Tong blindfolded, and I'll test it again? Meng Yan smiled slightly. Ge Tong can be regarded as giving himself a long face.

"This ......"

"Master Meng, although we all believe it in our hearts, but this is an investigation, it is no child's play, if Forensic Officer Ge can really find out the identity of the owner by virtue of his footprints, then we are all witnesses!" Xing'an said solemnly.

Meng Yan nodded. He understood what Xing'an meant, and if anyone questioned Ge Tong's judgment, both he and Ma Weiran could testify.

"Then test it and find three people to come, one is too little. Can't explain the problem, Dr. Ge, what do you think? ”

"There is no problem with humiliation!" Of course, Ge Tong has no problem, this is a good opportunity to grow his face and show off.

"You continue to investigate first, and when someone finds it, I will notify you!" Meng Yan nodded and ordered.

Xing'an was very concerned about this matter, so he was personally involved in the selection of people, and even Meng Yan didn't know which three people he chose.

drove Meng Yan's people away first, and then took the three people over, stepped on the footprints respectively, and then numbered them.

took the three of them to the side of the room to rest, and then invited Meng Yan and the others to the scene.

Jiang Xiancheng received the news, ran over panting, and transferred all the officials of the yamen to maintain order, and the scene was not lively.

The common people didn't know what to do, but they knew that there was a bustle to see, and surrounded the outside of the alley with three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Master Meng, you can start, from left to right, they are number one to three." Xing'an smiled slightly.

"Getong."

"Humble duty!"

"Go ahead, this official has confidence in you!" Meng Yan nodded at Ge Tong.

"The humble position will not disappoint you, my lord!" Ge Tong stepped forward with a heart.

Squatted down, carefully measured the length and depth of the first shoe print, and then carefully observed, stood up and said: "This is a man, about forty years old, five feet six inches tall, weighing about one hundred and twenty pounds, with a relatively strong physique, and often carrying burdens. ”

"Father-in-law Xing, is what my subordinate said right?" Meng Yan asked with a smile.

"Wait until he's done with the two people below!" Xing'an didn't answer, but raised his hand to signal Ge Tong to continue, and said calmly.

Ge Tong nodded, and continued to crouch down to observe the No. 2 and No. 3 shoe prints.

"The owner of the No. 2 shoe print is a young and beautiful woman, five feet two inches tall, twenty-three or four years old, weighing about ninety pounds, married, professional, a weaver girl!" Ge Tong closed his eyes and thought for a while.

An unnatural surprise flashed in Xing'an's eyes, but it quickly relented, but Meng Yan was not half surprised.

This trace science is a very deep discipline, the test is a person's eyesight and patience, for others, to master such a skill, not ten or eight years can not do, but Ge Tong is after all thirty years of experience, and there is a unique point in the autopsy, the so-called one point, a lot of things, as long as he combines his usual experience in autopsy, a contact, it is easy to master.

Seeing Xing'an's reaction, Ge Tong was sure in his heart, his judgment was correct, and his face became more calm: "The owner of this third shoe print is an old man, about fifty years old, about five feet six inches tall, weighing no more than one hundred and ten catties, he is an experienced fisherman. ”

Xing'an was stunned, and the others didn't know what was going on, but seeing the expression on Xing'an's face, they knew that Ge Tong was all right.

Based on the shoe prints on the ground, he said exactly what the age, height, weight, and what the three people were doing!

God!

"Xing Gonggong ......"

"Papai ......" Xing'an took the lead in applauding, and there was applause around him, and Ge Tong's face instantly turned red.

"Not bad at all. Amazing, amazing, Master Meng, you actually have such a talent under your command, how did you discover it? Xing'an couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, Forensic Officer Ge used to serve in Dali Temple, but he was a small man. No matter how hard he fights, he is just a person who fiddles with corpses, and no one pays attention to it. Meng Yan said with a smile.

"Go, bring the three of them!"

Three people selected by Xing'an brought them over, and sure enough, as Ge Tong said, two men and one woman.

"Tell me yourselves, what do you do?"

"The villain is a merchant who walks the streets, and the little woman spins and weaves at home. Old man, I've been fishing on the Yishui River for forty years! ”

"Five taels of silver per person!"

"Master Xie, Master Xie!" The three of them knelt down together and thanked them, they went out to see the yellow calendar today and won the jackpot.

"Ge Tong, you are very good, you used to bury talents." Hung Yen Road.

"Father-in-law Xing, in fact, the villain does not learn as much as one ten-thousandth of Lord Meng, and this learning of distinguishing footprints is taught by Lord Meng to the villain." Ge Tong didn't dare to be greedy for heaven's work. If it weren't for Meng Yan's careful teaching, how could he have today's scenery?

"You mean. This of yours was taught to you by Master Meng? ”

"Yes, this was all learned by the villain under the careful guidance of Master Meng after he arrived at the Yamen of the Inspection Division, and it can be said that Lord Meng is the villain's mentor." Ge Tong said excitedly.

"Lord Meng, is what Ge Tong said true?" Hung Yen was frightened.

"This official did learn skills with Ge Qizuo, and there was no teaching." Meng Yan smiled.

What a skill. It's clearly a modest statement, if it weren't for the fact that there was no such thing, how could Ge Tong say it in public?

Meng Yan is a young man under the age of twenty, Ge Tong is in his early forties, and this young man is a teacher. The older ones are students, if you don't really admire them, who can pull down your head and say that?

Even if Ge Tong deliberately flattered Shangguan, he would not say so, he has been a cheap work since ancient times, it is a craft, although it is indispensable, but the status is not high, and most people are unwilling to engage in this industry.

What's more, in feudal society, there are strict hierarchies, and occupations are also hierarchical, and a civil official can't write poems and writes, so he will definitely be laughed at, but if you don't understand the autopsy, no one will laugh at it, but if you know this and do it yourself, then you will be looked down upon.

Therefore, this is not an honor, it is a shameful thing.

However, whether it is glory or disgrace, this ability is real, what you can't do, people can't do, it's not just a couple of words of contempt, and then flick your sleeves, disdain to be able to deny it.

What's more, Xing'an himself is not an official, he is also an internal official, and he naturally does not belong to the same camp as those civil officials, so he is not too interested in this.

Meng Yan belongs to the camp of military attachés, and he is naturally opposed to civilian officials, and he doesn't take this kind of "shameful" thing to heart.

Just a little bit of concern, how is this done?

Ma Weiran and other officials in Yi County were also shocked, the low-level officials didn't think too much, what Ge Tong did today made them feel that a magical door was opened, and so many things could be seen in a shoe print, and this was applied to the investigation of the case, wouldn't it be possible to determine the identity of the suspect based on this?

When he heard that Ge Tong's ability was taught by the young Lord Qincha, he was even more surprised.

How old is he, how can he understand so much, the Qincha, who is less than twenty years old, is neither exposed to his father's shadow, nor is he a relative of the emperor, how did he do it?

In this Ming Dynasty, how many military attaches who have achieved real power and four grades, less than 20 years old, completely rely on their own skills?

Unfathomable!

"My lord, when I was surveying the footprints just now, I found that this person had been to the back of the ventilation hole of Lord Tang's death row, and left a mark of trampling on it, come and see!" Ge Tong said. (To be continued......) R1292
