Mo Yan nodded and said, "There must be evidence...... Captain Xu, you are a professional, based on the brake marks at the scene, I think it is not difficult for you to judge the model of the vehicle that caused the accident, right? ”

Captain Xu said: "This is not difficult, judging from the traces left at the scene, it should be a truck with an approved load of about eight tons." ”

Mo Yan nodded and said, "I think so too...... In addition, I just noticed that the front of the white sedan in the rice field was hit with blue paint. It's not very conspicuous, but it's there. I believe that when the on-site investigation is completed, there will definitely be such a record on the investigation report. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "So, we can be sure that the vehicle that caused the accident was a blue van. As for why I concluded that the car was loaded with pigs, there were two reasons. First, my nose is very smart, and even now, I can still smell a strong fishy smell here. When you drive, you must have encountered a vehicle carrying live pigs, right? The smell was so choking that I think anyone who has ever smelled it will probably never forget it. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone subconsciously snorted.

Chief Luo snorted and said, "Xiao Mo, why can't I smell the fishy smell you said?" ”

Mo Yan smiled: "It's been a few hours since the car accident, and it's normal for your nose to not smell it." ”

Du Xiaoyin frowned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid this can't be used as evidence, because it's really ...... It's too abstract. ”

"That's right......" Mo Yan nodded in agreement and said, "The sensitivity of the nose is just my personal problem, and it cannot be used as evidence." But it is precisely for this reason that I discovered another place that everyone overlooks. ”

He took a few steps forward, half-crouched down, pointed to some imperceptible spots on the ground, and said, "You see, this is the place. ”

The dilapidated pavement was mottled, and if you didn't pay attention, it would be difficult to see the spots that Mo Yan pointed out.

The distribution of these spots is characteristic, with a forward inertia in the shape of the dispersion.

Captain Xu is worthy of being an old man at the traffic entrance, took a closer look, and blurted out: "This is spilled from the vehicle that caused the accident!" ”

Mo Yan nodded and said, "That's right, it's because the inertia of the brakes spilled from the car." Its main ingredient is water, and after a few hours have passed, it is difficult to spot it without paying attention. Captain Xu, have you noticed, although most of these spots are water, there are also some solids. ”

Mo Yan pointed to a little stain in the spot, but didn't touch it with his hand, because he knew what it was.

Captain Xu couldn't help but frown, stretched out his hand to wipe the spot, and then put it under his nose and sniffed.

This kind of smell is not unfamiliar to him, it is the fishy smell that Mo Yan just said. The coagulation in these spots is pig manure that has been mixed with urine and drinking water and then coagulated again......

He stood up abruptly, looked at Mo Yan, his face became very serious, and said, "You are right, this is indeed a truck loaded with live pigs. ”

For a professional like Captain Xu, it is inferred that at this point, with the specific characteristics of the vehicle that caused the accident, it is already possible to carry out the operation.

In fact, half an hour earlier, he had already asked his counterparts in the surrounding area for support to keep an eye on certain vehicles with obvious impact marks. However, because he could not give the specific characteristics of the vehicle involved in the accident, he did not have much hope for this. This is similar to holding fish in a bamboo basket, it is reasonable to hug it, and if it is hugged, it is a big luck.

Next, Captain Xu didn't bother to ask Mo Yan how he deduced the witness, and after discussing a few words with Director Zheng in a low voice, he quickly got into the command car and began to contact his counterparts in Xiuling County again.

"Yes, it's a car loaded with pigs, coming from the direction of Wanling...... Yes, yes, it's a medium-duty truck. Have you already started to set it up? Two patrol groups were dispatched? Okay, okay, great, thank you so much. Okay, okay, feel free to contact if there is a situation. ”

Now that it is known that the vehicle involved in the accident was carrying live pigs, it is not difficult to make a judgment on its whereabouts. As Mo Yan just said, the pig market in Xiuling County and Xicun Town are the two places where the vehicle involved in the accident and its companions are most likely to go. Highway 113 is an old national highway that has been abandoned, and the cars passing through here are basically bound for Xiuling County. Because walking from this road not only avoids the toll booths of the highway, but also saves about thirty kilometers of travel. The pig market in Xiuling County is the largest in the surrounding counties and cities, and it is also a professional market integrating trafficking and slaughtering. So it's almost certain that the eyewitness's vehicle will probably be there.

As for the driver who caused the accident, I believe that as long as he is not a madman, he will definitely hide in a repair shop and destroy the evidence before he goes on the road.

Xicun Town, on the other hand, is the closest town to the scene of the car accident, where the people are fierce and the clan is strong. The most important thing is that in Xicun Town, the collection and sale of stolen cars, splicing scrapped vehicles, and helping the vehicles involved in the accident to destroy criminal evidence have almost become traditional industries there. As long as the driver is familiar with the surrounding environment, most of them will hide in Xicun Town. The people there are fierce, close to each other, and believe in the so-called morality of taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others. If there is no conclusive evidence, it is that the people from the provincial department have gone, and no one has ever killed you......

"Okay, Mo Yan!"

Section Chief Luo was a little stunned by this scene, and after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but punch Mo Yan on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "I really didn't expect that you kid still has this hand!" ”

Mo Yan said with a smile: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, if you pay attention to it, Rocco, you can also draw these conclusions." ”

Du Xiaoyin smiled on the side and said, "You are too modest, this is not a small skill of carving insects...... Actually, logical reasoning is a bit similar to magic. When magic isn't revealed, it's magical, but once it's revealed, you feel like that's it, and with a little practice, you can play it well. The same is true for logical reasoning, if you only give the answer and don't say the specific reasoning link, most people will think that you are Sherlock Holmes. And when you talk about the derivation process, others will suddenly realize that this is actually similar to one plus one equals two, not as amazing as imagined. ”

"But is that really the case?" Du Xiaoyin smiled, but looked at Section Chief Luo and said, "Section Chief Luo, in fact, there is still a part of Mo Yan's deduction that has not been said, such as how did he know that there was another witness at the scene of the car accident, and how did he know the gender and height of this witness?" Can you answer any of these? ”

Chief Luo scratched his head and said with a smile: "You better spare me, I haven't digested those things just now......

He looked at Mo Yan and said with anticipation on his face: "Or, Detective Mo will suffer again?" ”

Mo Yan smiled and said, "It's actually very simple...... Rocco, you look back, yes, just under that old poplar tree. See, there was also a section of brake marks on that section of the road, although it was very short, but it was enough to show that there was a car that had stayed under the tree, and it was still a truck. On top of that, there is also a spilled manure mixture on this section of the road. Not only that, but the driver of this car once got out of the car and left half a shoe print on the dirt roadbed at the edge of the rice field. I guess he was trying to see if there were any survivors, right? The shoe print is not very clear, but I can tell that it is a men's sneaker, and the foot size is a little smaller than mine, so I can roughly guess his height. ”

"Ha, there's really half a shoe print here!"

Chief Luo was suspicious when he heard this, walked under the old poplar tree, looked at it carefully for a long time, and sure enough, he found half a shoe print.

Behind him, Director Zheng followed.

He is a veteran of criminal investigation, and after just one glance, he already knows it in his heart.

However, he deliberately frowned and said, "Are you sure that this shoe print must have been left by an eyewitness?" Is it possible that someone else left it? For example, the passers-by who get up early, the villagers who go to the fields......"

Mo Yan smiled: "There is a possibility, but it is very small...... You see, around this old poplar tree, there are no other shoe prints other than this half of the shoe print. Moreover, the direction of the shoe print is at a 90-degree angle to the rice field, which means that the owner of the shoe print walked from the middle of the road to the rice field. If it is an early riser, or a villager who goes to the field, it is impossible for them to walk in the middle of the road in the foggy early morning, because it is too dangerous. Since it is impossible for them to walk in the middle of the road, there are bound to be more shoe prints on the dirt roadbed. But the fact is that there is only half a shoe print at the scene......"

At this point, he bent down, pointed to the shoe print, and continued: "The most important thing is that the front end of this shoe print is badly worn, which is typical of the sole shape and pattern wear caused by long-term clutch pedaling. From this, it is not difficult to conclude that it is...... This half of the shoe print can only be left by the eyewitness driver. ”

"Wonderful!" With an excited look, Captain Xu strode over and said, "It's really wonderful that you can see so many things in half a shoe print!" After a slight pause, he looked at Director Zheng and said, "Director Zheng, report you a good news, witnesses have found it." Male, 1.75 meters tall, wearing sneakers, is completely consistent with Mo Yan's inference! ”

It's only been a few minutes? Director Zheng was surprised: "So fast? ”

Captain Xu said: "It's also a coincidence...... I just called my counterparts in Xiuling County and asked them to pay attention to intercepting a truck loaded with live pigs, and before I could finish speaking, they found a suspected target. Stopped and asked, and as soon as he got to the point, the driver recruited himself. According to the reaction of his peers in Xiuling County, although this guy was not the perpetrator, he was already frightened after witnessing a car accident, and when he saw the traffic police stop the car, he collapsed on the spot. According to his confession, the driver who caused the accident was a man named Lao Tie. ”

Director Zheng asked, "Where is this called Lao Tie?" ”

Captain Xu glanced at Mo Yan and replied, "Xicun Town." ”

Director Zheng knew what kind of place Xicun Town was, nodded and asked, "Do you need my people to cooperate with you?" ”

Captain Xu shook his head and said, "No, you can do it directly if you have a definite goal." The people of the West Village are not fools, and without evidence, they dare to mess around. Now...... By the courage of the two of them, they did not dare to mess around. Don't worry, Director Zheng, it's not the first time we've been there. ”;
