Chapter 294: Incorrigibly sluggish

Lin Xinyi and Yuan Shan and Ye continued to track forward.

As he expected, after a few more steps over the mud field, the prisoner's broken footprints were resumed.

The other party apparently fled back into the woods.

And Lin Xinyi and Miss Ye chased closely into the woods, and it didn't take long for them to follow the traces and walk out from the other side of the woods.

Walking out of the woods, there is a flat concrete floor in front of you.

By this time they had already unconsciously walked down the mountain completely.

On one side, there is a step-like hiking trail from which you can climb up to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view.

On the other side is a smooth cement road, along which you can lead to the gate of the scenic spot.

At the intersection of the stepped trail and the paved concrete road, under the trees on the side of the road, there are also several locked bicycles parked neatly.

This may be the means of transportation used by the scenic staff on the mountain to get back to their nearby accommodation after walking down the mountain after work.

"Mr. Lin!"

Distant mountains and leaves soon made discoveries:

"There's bicycle tire marks on the dirt here."

"Did the prisoner park his bicycle here in advance, escape from the woods, and then ride his bicycle away?"

As she said, there was indeed a clear tire mark on the edge of the woods, on a small patch of sparsely vegetated dirt.

It looked like someone had picked up a bike from here and rode away.

"Wherever the fetal marks passed, the blades of grass were severely lodging."

"Mr. Lin, you said last night that the blades of grass have a strong ability to repair themselves."

"In today's sunny conditions, the overwhelmed blades of grass can grow and recover in a matter of hours."

"And now the grass blades where the fetal marks passed are so badly lodging that there is no sign of repair at allโ€”this should be a mark that has just formed."

After two days of exposure to it, Miss Ye and Miss Ye seemed to enter the state unconsciously.

She tried to analyze the tire marks that had just formed, and then judged that most of the prisoners had escaped on bicycles, so they left such marks.

"You've done a good job."

Lin Xinyi gave encouragement in a timely manner:

"But the prisoner probably didn't run away on his bike."

"Either these are traces left by other people, or they are deliberately left by prisoners to mislead us."

Insert a sentence, [Source Change Artifact] is really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!

"Why?" Yuanshan and Ye looked over puzzled.

"Uh..."Lin Xinyi hesitated.

Because he had guessed who the prisoner was, and he knew that most of the guys were now climbing the stairs and returning to the mountain to meet everyone, and he would definitely not escape from the scenic spot by bicycle.

But now it's also a practical teaching, and it's not easy for him to give such a simple answer.

So, Lin Xinyi leaned down and took a closer look...

"I see."

"This is really another trick set up by the criminals."

He sighed helplessly:

The great detective really worked hard to hide himself.

"First of all, when we get on a bicycle, we usually put our feet on the ground to support it."

"But there are only tire marks on this dirt floor, but no footprints."

"Because the guy was afraid to leave a clear footprint, we could find out who he was by the shoe prints โ€“ so he was careful to avoid it."

"Is that so..."

Toyama Kazuha unconsciously rubbed his chin.

The action demeanor really looks like a detective:

"Not necessarily, right?"

"After all, this dirt field is so big, maybe the prisoner has already ridden his bicycle outside the dirt field, and then pressed over the dirt and rode onto the concrete road?"

"That way, he won't leave footprints on the dirt floor."

"No, it won't be the case."

"Because even this fetal mark was forged by the prisoner."

"He didn't ride away at all, and if he had ridden out from here, the tires would have rolled out of the woods and onto the concrete road."

"But the reality is quite the opposite."

"The tires were rolled from the concrete road, inwardly on the dirt floor, towards the woods."

Lin Xinyi explained in a calm tone.

"By looking at the traces of tires, you can determine the direction in which the vehicle is traveling?" Miss He Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Isn't this tire round... Walking straight and walking backwards, don't they look the same? โ€

"Nope." Lin Xinyi shook his head: "If you look closely at the study, you will find that the tire marks are actually the same as the footprints, which can reveal enough rich information." โ€

"For example, it can determine the direction in which the vehicle is traveling:"

"Since it is a tire mark on the dirt floor, we can see the fan pattern formed by the dust on both sides of the tire after the vehicle is driven."

"The direction in which the fanning pattern unfolds is generally the opposite direction of travel."

"And that prisoner..."

"He should have fled too quickly and didn't have time to think about it, so like Miss Ye, he subconsciously felt that no matter which direction the tire rolled, it would look the same."

"So, when he faked the traces, he simply picked up the bicycle next to him and rolled the tires in the direction of the woods, leaving artificial tire marks that were reversed in such directions."

Lin Xinyi can roughly imagine the picture at that time:

The prisoner escaped from the woods and came to the concrete road, ready to climb the stairs and escape up the trail.

After seeing the locked bicycle parked nearby, he picked up a bicycle on a whim and pressed the bicycle wheel on the small dirt floor.

In this way, the pursuers will think that he is running away on a bicycle.

And those who escape on bicycles cannot, of course, climb the steps up the mountain.

The pursuer will subconsciously think that he is taking the smooth cement road and is riding a bicycle to escape in the direction of the gate of the scenic spot.

"So, let's climb back up this trail."

"It shouldn't be long before we catch up with that guy who is cowering and doesn't dare to show up."

Lin Xinyi sighed helplessly, and then turned around and stepped on the mountaineering trail.

Yuan Shan and Ye followed step by step.

It didn't take long for the two to crawl back where they had entered the woods at the beginning.

Heiji Hattori, Moriran and others are still waiting in place.

As soon as they saw them, Yuan Shan and Ye leaned up with a look of concern and asked:

"Heiji, Miss Mori, did you just see any sneaky guys passing by here?"

"Uhh

Especially Heiji Hattori.

His eyes were dodgy, and from time to time he glanced at his companion beside him, as if he was begging for something.

In the end, in such a strange atmosphere, Mao Lilan said on behalf of everyone with a strange look: "I didn't see it." โ€

"Didn't you..."

Miss Ye muttered to herself a little nervously:

"So where the hell did that guy go?"

"And Miss Ye, think about it carefully." Lin Xinyi finally couldn't help but give a hint again: "Why did the 'prisoner' deliberately avoid the dirt along the way and refuse to leave clear footprints?" โ€

"If it's a stranger, you can't expose him in the vast sea of people with a clear footprint."

"This, Mr. Lin, you mean..."

The distant mountains and leaves frowned slightly.

was reminded by Lin Xinyi to this point, and she finally reacted in hindsight:

"That mysterious person who spied on us is actually an acquaintance of ours?!"

As soon as these words came out, a touch of nervousness suddenly appeared on Hattori's black face.

But people come whatever they are afraid of.

Almost in the next second, Miss Kazuye used the sharp gaze of Sherlock Holmes to firmly lock on Hattori Heiji, who was mixed in the middle of everyone.

"Look, see what I'm doing?"

A blush appeared on Hattori's swarthy face.

It looks like a hot iron pot.

"What a voyeur... How could Iโ€”How could I do such a thing?! โ€

He muttered to the left and right, looking very eager to cover up.

"Don't pretend, Heiji!"

Yuanshan and Ye ruthlessly exposed the lies of their childhood sweethearts:

"Among our acquaintances..."

"You're the only one who can be so dark that you can't see your face clearly when you're separated by a few meters in the forest!"

Heiji Hattori: "......."

He was powerless to refute this point-to-the-point reasoning.

"Heiji, it's really you, right?!"

Miss He Ye still used this strong questioning tone at first.

But when she came back to her senses and thought about it a little deeper, her cheeks instantly became redder than Hattori Heiji at the moment:

"You... How long were you peeping there? โ€

"What did you hear?"

As soon as he thought that the love words he said behind his back would be heard by his childhood sweetheart, he and Miss Ye were so ashamed that their tongues were a little knotted.

"I didn't hear anything..."

Heiji Hattori replied helplessly:

He finally stood up and admitted the fact of his voyeurism very shyly:

"I was just walking over and you found me."

"Really?"

"Really..."

received a positive answer, and Miss Ye's fever was finally relieved.

Now, it's Hattori's turn to get hot on the face again.

I saw Yuan Shan and Ye raise their heads, bite their lips, and ask nervously, expectantly, and with great concern:

"Heiji, why are you eavesdropping there?"

"Could it be because..."

And Miss Ye finally noticed something.

Before entering the woods for a private chat, Lin Xinyi had already unceremoniously pointed out her true purpose of "apprenticing just to fall in love" in public.

In this way, Hattori Heiji will come to peep later, apparently because he cares about her relationship problems.

So, why should Heiji care about her emotional problems?

Could it be that he is actually having a crush...

The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Thinking about it, I even thought of the child's name.

And Hattori Heiji is also so ashamed.

He was there like a pestle, clenching his fists tightly, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Hurry up..."

Lin Xinyi secretly urged in his heart:

Now he has helped expose the fact that Hattori is peeping.

That guy has been cornered, there is no way to retreat, there is no way to hide.

It's all come to this... It's time to confess, right?

That's what everyone thinks.

And Hattori Heiji, under the forced gaze of Miss Ye, seemed to be so helpless to say his mind:

"I used to peep... It's because..."

"I want to know, who is the man you like."

"Huh?" Toyama Kazuha's eyes brightened: "Who do I like, is this important to you?" โ€

She was nervously looking forward to what was to come, and so were everyone.

And then...

I saw Hattori Pingji bite his teeth and stomp his feet, and suddenly laughed out loud:

"Hahaha, of course it's important..."

"We're buddies from childhood to adulthood!"

"How can you hide it from me when you fall in love, you should always let me take care of it for you!"

โ€œ......โ€

There was silence.

"It's hopeless." Miss Gray Plains gave a cold look in disdain.

"Is this all right?" Conan found a fellow slower than himself.

"He's still not readyโ€”" Maoliran sighed understandingly.

"Scattered, scattered..."Lin Xinyi simply didn't look at it.

"Let's go back!" He took the lead and walked down the mountain, and everyone was speechless to follow.

Leaving only Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha walking side by side at the back of the line, staring at small eyes with big eyes, black face to red face, and subtly silent.

"This guy is too stupid..."

Lin Xinyi sighed quietly:

"I helped to do a good section of the cardiac tissue, do a good job of staining and covering, and send him to the microscope."

"He still hasn't seen through Miss Ye's heart?"

"yes." Gray Yuan echoed and whispered to her boyfriend:

"This guy is like a declining strain with a negative mutation, and it won't multiply if it's put in a nutrient-rich medium."

"He's hopeless."

"Hmm." Lin Xinyi nodded sympathetically.

Heiji Hattori is so hopelessly that he doesn't bother to worry about this guy anymore.

Let's think about something else...

"That's right." Lin Xinyi suddenly thought of something.

I have to tell my girlfriend the good news:

"Alas, I asked Miss Heye."

"She went back to her house today, and she didn't stay at Hattori's house."

"So?" Miss Gray Plains frowned.

"So the room she vacated was just for me."

Lin Xinyi unconsciously used a tone of good news and invitation:

"We happen to be in one room, so you don't have to worry about who I sleep with."

Gray Plains: "......"
