Chapter Fifty-Four: Two Shoe Prints, One Large and One Small Someone in the meditation room has been here
In the beam of the flashlight, there were some cobwebs and dust, and there were many miscellaneous items piled up in the meditation room, there were incense cases, there were puff mats, there were door panels, there were candlesticks, there were wooden fish, it was one of those large wooden fish, there was a drum set, it looked like a drum set, there was a broken drum next to it, the cowhide on the drum had been cracked, and there were some monk's robes tied up with ropes.
Ouyang Ping and Chen Jie could only stand in a one-meter-square space, and the place two meters away was full of debris.
Chen Jie aimed the beam of the flashlight at the corner of the wall, where many cobwebs hung from the corner.
Chen Jie discovered the situation: "Ouyang, look-"
Chen Jie aimed the beam of the flashlight at a dilapidated incense case.
Only two-thirds of the table top of the incense table remained, with a layer of ash on the table, and two finger prints on one of the corners—the incense case was about 2.5 meters from the door of the meditation room—the incense case was leaning on a drum rack—and the incense case had only three legs left.
"Old Chen, this should be a new handprint."
Chen Jie pointed the light of the flashlight at the three legs of the incense case, one of which left a fifteen-centimeter-long pull mark on the ground, which should have been left when he moved the table.
The flashlight found a new situation, in the fan-shaped area of the door movement, there were several relatively obvious footprints, Ouyang Ping and Chen Jie had been standing in the fan-shaped area - close to the threshold, and did not dare to move their steps.
Chen Jie raised his right foot and looked at the shoe prints left by his right foot on the ground, Chen Jie was wearing leather shoes on his feet, and the patterns on the soles of leather shoes were clearly visible, and then looked at several other shoe prints, only the basic outline of the shoes, without any patterns, that's right, the monks and nuns in the temple wore cloth shoes on their feet, and it was impossible for cloth shoes to leave any pattern on the ground.
Two people crouched down.
Ouyang Ping measured the length of the shoe print with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and the size of the two relatively clear shoe prints was actually different, the size of one shoe print was about the same as the size of the shoes on Chen Jie's feet - Chen Jie wore shoes of size 41; The size of the other shoe print is 1.5 centimeters shorter, and the size of the shoe should be around 37 by yardage. The two shoe prints should represent two people.
In the nunnery, there were nuns wearing forty-one shoes, which was very surprising to Ouyang Ping and Chen Jie.
"Ouyang, this should be an important clue, I think, it must be rare for a woman with such big feet to be found, so it shouldn't be difficult to find this person."
Judging from the clarity of the finger prints and shoe prints, someone had just entered the meditation room, and the time should have been last night. When Ouyang Ping and Chen Jie walked into the meditation room, they had heard the sound of mice, and there were no rat footprints on the shoe prints, which showed that the time would not be too long. Not far from the shoe prints, there were many paw prints of rats - on the floor of the meditation room, there was a thick layer of dust - and the room had not been inhabited for a long time.
Next, the two people made further discoveries, and the debris in the meditation room had traces of human movement, which could be seen from the incompleteness of the cobwebs hanging on the debris. Because on some sundries in the southwest corner of the meditation room, there are some complete spider webs, and there is a spider crawling around on these spider webs.
"Lao Chen, let's move all these sundries outside." Ouyang Ping said as he picked up two puff mats.
"Let's do these things." Master Chen rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the meditation room.
Several other craftsmen got up. After Ouyang Ping and Chen Jie exited the meditation room, several workers rushed into the meditation room together.
