Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, at this time, a person came out of the back door of the warehouse, he limped, although his steps were very fast, but the speed was very slow, Gao Defeng's age was about fifty years old, and his height was around one meter sixty. One eye is half-closed, the other eye is round, the half-closed eye should be the blind eye, his back is still a little hunched, and his shoulders are high and low.

"Director Zhen, what do you call me?" Gao Defeng limped in front of Director Zhen and Zhao Zimeng.

"Comrade police officer has something to ask you, comrade captain, please ask!"

So, everyone stood in front of the window and started a conversation.

"Master Gao, do you get up every night to watch the boat?"

"Yes, it's my job, I get enough sleep during the day and watch the ship at night."

"How often do you get up and watch?"

"Once an hour. Sometimes a few minutes more, sometimes a few minutes less. ”

When people are asleep, they can be guaranteed to wake up once an hour, which is difficult to do without auxiliary conditions.

"How do you make sure you get up once an hour?"

"I have an alarm clock! I make trouble once an hour. Gao Defeng said as he pulled out a bunch of keys from his pants pocket—only two keys. Then open the door.

There was nothing but a small wooden bed, a table, a wicker chair, a wooden box, and an alarm clock on the table. Next to the alarm clock lay a flashlight, a wine bottle was erected, a small wine glass was upside down on the mouth of the wine bottle, and there was a little smell of alcohol in the room.

Zhao Zimeng and Xiao Lao walked into the door, they paid special attention to the west side of the window, about thirty centimeters away from the window, there was an iron nail, this iron nail was used to hang the key. Anyone standing outside the window will be able to get the key.

Director Zhen is right, windows are usually not bolted - because there is no latch at all.

"Master Gao, do you get up once an hour at night, do you get up on the hour, or?"

"By the hour."

"You let the alarm clock go off for us once."

Gao Defeng walked into the porter, picked up the alarm clock from the table, twisted the alarm clock clock behind the alarm clock seven or eight times, and then adjusted the hour hand to ten o'clock.

"Jingle bell—jingle bell—" The alarm clock rang on time, and the alarm clock was still loud.

Zhao Zimeng and Xiang Daimo muttered a few words. Ask Director Zhen to unlock the back door.

Zhao Zimeng asked Xiang Daimo to take a trip to Ma Po Po Nunnery, as for what to do, it is self-explanatory, even if you don't understand, don't worry, you will know later.

About ten minutes later, Zhao Zimeng's mobile phone rang.

"Hey, Xiang Daimo, have you arrived?"

"I've arrived."

Zhao Zimeng put away his mobile phone: "Master Gao, please make another alarm clock." ”

Master Gao made another fuss, and it lasted for a minute.

After about eight minutes, Xiang Daimo came back.

"Captain, I heard it so well and very clearly. Not only that, but standing on the second and third floors of that small building, you can see this gatehouse through the gap between the branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree, and you can also see this back door. ”

"I also looked at the pile of bricks, and there were obviously two missing bricks, and there were a lot of weeds and vines in other places, but in one place there were two bricks missing, and where there were no weeds or vines—only two broken vines. What's more, I also saw a few shoeprints of average size on the moss - that place, ordinary people don't go, so the footprints were always there. ”

Grass and vines only grow in spring and summer, and after summer, they begin to decay.

"Old Xiao, let's go over and have a look now."

The group walked out of the back door of the pickle factory in turn and went straight to the back door of Ma Po Nunnery. The back door of Granny Ma's nunnery was open—Xiang Daimo had been delayed for a few minutes just now.

After entering the back door, Zhao Zimeng and his entourage went to two places:

The first place is the pile of bricks next to the round door.

There are some shrubs around the brick pile, and between the bushes and the brick pile, there is a gap one step wide, and if you want to approach the brick pile, you must bow your head and bend down.

Xiang Daimo walked in front, and when he was about to walk to the pile of bricks, Xiang Daimo stopped, and then squatted on the ground: "Xiao Lao, Ouyang, you see-"

At the place of Xiang Daimo's finger, there are several shoe prints, one of which is relatively complete, and the other shoe prints are overlapped.

"Captain, look here—"

Lin Di made a new discovery, her right hand was pointing to a bauhinia, this bauhinia tree had two branches together, about the thickness of an adult's wrist, and on one of the branches, a branch with the thickness of a little finger was broken, and the broken part was still hanging on the original branch.

Linghu Yunfei measured the length and width of the shoe print with a ruler, and then wrote it down in a notebook:

Length, 28 cm, the front half is 10.5 cm wide, and the back half is 7.5 cm wide, because the shoe print is stepped on on the moss, and the moss is in a state of growth, so the lines and grooves on the sole of the shoe are not visible at all. Although the lines and grooves on the soles of the shoes are not visible, it is certain that the murderer was wearing a pair of leather shoes on his feet.

"Judging by this size, this person is wearing size 41 shoes, and his height should be about 1.72 meters." Xiao Lao Dao.

What Xiang Daimo said was true, on the pile of bricks, there were indeed two broken vines, and the broken parts had completely withered.

The height of the deceased in the "6.27" headless case has been raised to 1.72 meters, and now, the murderer's height is also about 1.72 meters. This is no coincidence!

In front of the broken bauhinia stump was a pile of bricks - to be precise, where Xiang Daimo found the broken vine branches and the missing two city wall bricks, the footprints were between the bauhinia stump and the city wall bricks. Obviously, the footprints were left on the moss by the murderer when he was moving the bricks of the city wall.

Zhao Zimeng stepped a relatively complete piece of moss next to the footprints, and lifted his foot, there was only a shallow, not obvious footprint on the moss. The weight of the murderer himself, combined with the weight of the bricks of the city wall, and the fact that the soil under the moss was soaked with rain, in this case, it was possible to leave such a clear shoe print on the moss when he stepped on the moss.

Where the two bricks were missing, there were only a few withered, folded weeds horizontally, and there were no vines, but there were quite a few vines and weeds around them.

The city wall bricks were originally stacked very neatly - the so-called neatness refers to the same height, the same number - a total of eleven layers were stacked, but the outer corner of the right side of the brick pile was missing two city wall bricks. In other places, there are eleven bricks, but only nine bricks remain in the far row on the right. Underneath the pile of bricks is yellow dirt.

After looking at the bricks of the city wall, everyone went up to the ancient building again, and standing in the window of the corridor on the second floor, they could indeed see through the gap between the branches and leaves of the ginkgo biloba tree the high gatehouse and the back door of the pickle factory, and they could also see the wharf and the wooden boats parked on the wharf.

Everyone went up to the third floor, and standing in the window of the corridor on the third floor, they could also see the high gatehouse, the back door of the pickle factory, the dock, and the boats parked on the pier—and they could see it more clearly.

When everyone walked out of the small building, Master Huiping came in a hurry. It was Zhao Zimeng who asked Director Ma to invite her: Zhao Zimeng wanted to know a little about the situation.

Master Huiping's answer surprised everyone very much: "This door has never been locked, it was not locked in the early years when the incense was booming, and it will not be locked after that, except for a dozen Bodhisattvas with missing arms and legs, there is nothing of value in the temple, who will come here to steal things?" ”

"Master Huiping, since Wang Hongbao left your temple, have there been any other men who have come to borrow it?"

"There has never been, after that, there has never been, there has never been, Wang benefactor is the only male benefactor who comes to the temple to borrow a stay, before that, the monastery has never accepted male donors, only female donors."

When Zhao Zimeng and his entourage went upstairs and downstairs, they paid special attention to the door of the meditation room on the second floor, and the door of the meditation room was locked. Zhao Zimeng wanted to meet the female benefactor who lived on the second floor for a while.

"Mrs. Huiping, we want to find out a little bit about the female benefactor who lives on the second floor."

"I saw her go out into the street, she won't go far, she'll be back soon, you wait a minute.

There was no need to wait, at this time, the female benefactor who lived on the second floor happened to walk into the round door, carrying a small handbag in her hand. Last night, the comrades had seen her once, but because of the dim light, they could not see her face clearly. Now I finally see it clearly: this woman feels very refreshing both in appearance and clothing; Her face was pale, bloodless, and her countenance was emaciated, and her brow was full of sorrow.

"Donor, you came back just in time, these public security comrades want to ask you something."

"What do you want to ask?" The woman whispered.

"What do you call you?"

"My surname is Cang, and my name is Cang Shunlan."

"When did you live in the monastery?"

"I moved in half a year ago."

"Do you know a couple who live on the third floor?"

"Yes, but we never speak."

"Before the couple left the monastery, was there anything out of the ordinary?"

"There are no anomalies. The couple had a good relationship. ”

"Never talking, how do you know that they have a good relationship as a couple?"

"Through the floor, I can occasionally hear them talking, and I can hear some voices."

"Tell us about it."

"Say what?"

What did they say? What do you hear? ”

"I heard the woman shouting to her husband to wash his feet, and then the sound of putting a basin on the floor. Although the woman's voice was low, because there were people living downstairs, she could still hear clearly. After a woman washes a man's feet, she can still hear the sound of nail clippers cutting and grinding nails. It takes a long time to cut and sharpen your nails. Cut almost every day, grind every day, after trimming the nails, women still massage men, I have never seen such a loving couple in my life. ”
