Although Liang Houzhong's assumption did not bring the slightest help to the comrades' criminal investigation work (whether it was helpful or not, it is difficult to say now), the author still has to spit it out: "These ten toenails are very carefully trimmed, and ordinary pedicure masters can't fix them like this (Ouyang Ping and Chen Jie invited a few pedicure workers to the cold room of the forensic department of the Public Security Bureau to see the real thing - the real thing is much clearer than the photo) - ordinary pedicure masters don't have such effort and patience (the income of pedicure masters is directly proportional to the number of pedicures they have, They can't spend a long time on a pair of feet),"

Chen Jie heard a bit of subtext from Master Liang's words: "Master Liang, you might as well say it directly." ”

"I'll tell you one thing, I met a customer, he often came to the Moling bathhouse to take a bath, once, a new pedicure asked him if he wanted a pedicure, he stretched out his foot to the pedicure master, the master asked who repaired his toenails, he smiled but did not answer. This man never had a pedicure with us, but his toenails were very well kept, and were as fine as a woman's fingernails, except that they were not as long as a woman's fingernails - even the old skin on his toes was cleaned. ”

"Why is that?"

"He has a good wife, and his wife washes his feet every night before going to bed, and as long as she finds that her toenails are long, she will trim them, and even the dirt in the toenails will be cleaned. After pruning, it should be carefully polished. ”

Chen Jie finally understood Master Liang's words, if the deceased was from the south of the old city, then his fingernails and toenails were probably taken care of by his wife. The toenails are so well maintained, if they are not trimmed by a pedicure master, they are trimmed by their own wives, because only a wife will have such kung fu and patience.

"How old is this person?"

"Forty-somethings."

Has this person recently come to take a shower? ”

"He just came yesterday, and tomorrow night on time, he will come every other day to take a bath."

Listening to Master Liang's words, Chen Jie's heart was half cold, his wife trimmed the man's toenails, only his wife knew, where to find this woman? Finding this woman trimming a man's toenails is the same as looking for this headless man is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Originally, Chen Jie and Li Wenhua pinned their hopes on this clue, but the result disappointed Chen Jie.

Earlier, the author has mentioned Liuyedu twice, there was no trace of the deceased in the bathhouse, Chen Jie and Li Wenhua put their attention on the boat, the time when the deceased was killed was in late July, the place where the body was sunk was about five meters from the river bank, and the water was about two meters deep, how did the murderer sink the body of the deceased into the water? Ouyang Ping and Chen Jiehua thought of the boat, only with the help of the boat, can this be done, in Liuyedu, there is a ferry, on the south bank of Liuyedu, there is an ancient town that says not big, says that it is not small, the name of the ancient town is Huashen Town, there are more than 3,000 families living in Huashen Town, the people in the ancient town go to the city to do business, Liuyedu is the only channel. There are several families in the vicinity of Liuyedu who live by fishing, every year in late spring and early summer, at the beginning of the flood season, as soon as the river comes up, they begin to set up nets to fish by the river, each of these families has a small boat, these boats are docked on the river bank for many years. Ouyang Ping and Chen Jie turned their attention to this boat (looking for the whole river, in addition to the aforementioned boats, there are quite a few boats coming and going on the river, but they are all passing passenger ships, almost all of them are carrying goods. ）
