Under the leadership of Director Lu, our group soon came to the back door of the guard room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info although there is a dim old street lamp lighting here. However, looking at the barren grass all around and the rusty big iron gate, it is obvious that this back door has indeed been abandoned for a long time as Director Lu said before.

After we looked around the surrounding environment, Director Lu said: "This is the back door, because it is basically not used, so it has been locked for many years, anyway, since I have been working in this detention center for more than ten years, I have not opened it once, and now, I can't find the key to the door lock." ”

"Oh, and depending on the surrounding environment, it's obviously impossible to install a camera here." Mu Zihan sighed in response, approached the iron gate, which was almost surrounded by weeds, to check the specific situation.

While we all waited with bated breath for the results of his examination, he called out to us, "Come and see." Then, when we got closer, he blamed the door lock and said, "Judging from the traces, this door lock does have traces that it has been recently pried open." And—" As he spoke, he grabbed the handle on the inside of the door and pulled it hard, only to see the old iron door of the door, which he pulled open directly.

"And it's almost non-existent." He held the door with one hand and said, "It's just that this door is so old, and the rust on it will peel off if you touch it a little." However, there is no rust on the ground now, so it is certain that this gate has not been destroyed today, but has been destroyed for some time. ”

Listening to his words, I wanted to take a few steps forward, a little more to see clearly, but as soon as I took a step, he shouted to me: "Stop, Siyuan, don't go." ”

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.

"If you go any further, you'll destroy another piece of evidence at the scene." He replied and walked two steps towards me, crouched down not far in front of me, shone his mobile phone flashlight on the ground, and said, "See this footprint, according to my speculation, it must have been left by the murderer who entered and exited through the back door." ”

Following the light of his phone flashlight, I saw that there was indeed a visible footprint on the dirt floor in front of me. It's just that the size of this footprint is a bit too big.

According to my eyesight, the size of this footprint is at least 47 yards, because my feet are not small, and I usually need to wear size 43 shoes, but compared to this footprint, it is still a long way off.

"Such a big foot, if it was really left by the murderer, how tall must the murderer be? Could it be that this murderer is really more than 2 meters tall? I couldn't help but ask.

"If this footprint was left by the murderer when he walked naturally, then his height may indeed be around 2 meters, at least above 1.9 meters. However, it is clear that this footprint was actually deliberately left by the murderer to mislead us. Mu Zihan carefully checked the footprints, and even reached out to test the depth of the footprints before and after.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Because, this footprint is obviously left by small feet wearing big shoes." Mu Zihan replied: "When a normal person walks, his heel usually hits the ground first, and then the forefoot pushes his body forward. Therefore, if the footprints are left under normal walking, the heel and forefoot are generally deeper, and the center of the foot is shallow. ”

After seeing Uncle Wang, who surrounded him, and I nodded in agreement, Mu Zihan said: "Then, you look at this footprint, the depth left by the front, middle and back parts on the mud is almost the same, so it is certain that this footprint was used by the murderer to mislead us." So, the next question is why did the murderer deliberately leave such a footprint to mislead us? What exactly is he trying to mislead us? ”

"For what?" I wondered, ah, by the way, if we hadn't found out that the footprints were forged, and had thought they were really left by the murderer when he entered and exited the back door. Then, it is natural for us to suspect that this murder may have been committed by outsiders, which can reduce the suspicion of the staff in this detention center. At the same time, it will also expand the scope of suspects and increase the difficulty of solving the case.

Thinking of this, I tentatively asked Mu Zihan, "Is it to draw our attention to outsiders and expand the scope of suspects?" ”

"Bino, exactly." Mu Zihan gave me a thumbs up with a smile and said with a smile: "So, since the murderer wants us to think that this case was committed by an outsider, it means that in fact, this murderer is in this detention center." ”

"Zihan, do you know who the murderer is?" Uncle Wang asked urgently. After all, it is already very late, or very early, because, from the slightly bright sky in the east, it can be seen that the time at this moment has reached early morning. That is, for the sake of this case, all of us present have not slept all night.

However, Mu Zihan did not answer Uncle Wang's words immediately this time, but turned his head to look at the sky, and after thinking for a while, he actually turned to look at Director Lu and said: "Director Lu, it's almost dawn, I think our case can't be solved for a while, I don't know if I can borrow your car for it?" I want Siyuan to buy some breakfast for all of us first, after all, it's good to do things when you're full. ”

Hearing his words, I was obviously stunned, I don't know how to drive, Mu Zihan didn't know, and even, among the people present, it is estimated that Director Ye Lu and the two prison guards did not know about it because it was the first time they met today.

Moreover, his own car was parked at the front door of the detention center, so there was no need to borrow a car from Director Lu. Is it because I haven't slept all night and my brain is confused?

However, when I saw his face with an inexplicable smile, I was about to open my mouth to point out, and I swallowed the words back. Because, if I guessed correctly, Mu Zihan's move must have his reasons.

"This, of course, was no problem, but when I heard about the case in the office last night, I hurried over, and I didn't know where the operation was improper, and the car seemed to have a problem." Director Lu replied embarrassedly: "However, you don't have to worry, we have breakfast in our office, although it is a little early now, but I can let the canteen prepare it in advance." ”

Hearing Director Lu's words, Mu Zihan was silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed, but that seemingly bright smile looked particularly infiltrating in the night, and it seemed to be colder than the morning breeze at dawn in late autumn, so that I, who was standing beside him, stood up all the hairs on my body in an instant.

Even though I knew that his smile was not aimed at me, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body. I couldn't help but think: Mu Zihan, this guy, is really scary sometimes.
