Eleven a.m.

Dean took Harry, Robert, Holtz and others to Harper Prison in several cars.

Along with him, there are also footprint identification experts in Holtz's mouth.

His name was Bob, a fifty-year-old man, who was a special officer of the Forensics Section, and he was Holtz's father.

Bob's main job is to be a hunter, and he takes his clients deep into the forest to hunt wild beasts during the annual hunting season.

Outside the prison.

Didi~

Harry got smart this time and honked the horn directly.

Surprisingly.

This time, it wasn't the stupid white prison guard Al who peeked out of the upstairs window, but their object of suspicion, Kanif!

When he saw Dean and his group, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows furrowed: "Today is not the time to visit, get out of here, otherwise you will know the consequences!" ”

"What consequences?"

Dean was amused: "Do you mean that you gave the prisoner a mobile phone and contacted the outside world, or did you mean that you received more than 100,000 US dollars from Delen?" ”

When talking.

Dean's hand was on the open holster.

The pistol's insurance was opened.

As long as Kanif makes a move, he will kill the opponent through the holster in 0.1 seconds, and directly close the case with peace of mind and trouble!

How do you know.

Kaniv just smiled wryly: "Well, it looks like you've found out, damn it, I knew there was such a day!" ”

In the stunned gaze of everyone.

This black prison guard, who was in his twenties, ran down the stairs and opened the door to everyone.

Everyone followed him into the office with a bewildered expression.

Dean noticed that another prison guard, Al, was leaning against the lookout, openly dozing off, and Kanif was wearing riding boots on his feet!

"Okay, man, I guess you've guessed why we're here, let's be honest, we'll make you feel better."

Harry actually admires this compatriot more.

Because of some institutional reasons, there are relatively few black people in the Gu family in reality.

He grew up in a single-parent family.

Carnif's demeanor was calm and calm: "I admit that I did take a bribe from Delenn, and in return, I helped him fake his performance in prison and help him apply for parole.

But are these also in the hands of the Robbery and Murder Division? ”

Harry's face sank: "Man, we don't care about your bribery, and we don't care what kind of parole application you get, you know the reason why we came!" ”

"Isn't it?" , Kanif was stunned.

Dean kept an eye on his expression.

Something is wrong.

Kanif didn't seem to be lying.

He looked at Carnif's riding boots again.

Now, he really realized that something was wrong!

Kanif was wearing these platform riding boots, and he was a little shorter than him.

And his height is 1.88 meters on his bare feet, and 1.91 meters when he wears shoes.

So it is quite possible that Kanif is not a murderer!

Come to think of it.

Dean stopped Harry, who was still about to speak, and looked directly at Holtz and the others: "Don't waste time, just extract the footprints and pour the film!" ”

Kanif didn't know what was going on, though.

But thinking of the identities of Dean and the others, the black face instantly became ugly.

These detectives of the robbery and murder division seem to be only interested in murder cases!

Murder and bribery are completely different things, and the culpability is completely different!

After the not stupid Kanif reacted, he not only cooperated with the behavior of Holz and others, but also said that he still had two pairs of riding boots at home.

In their busy time.

Dean walked to the window and looked at the lookout inside the prison.

Al is powerful.

Leaning against the fence, you can also sleep.

The loose rifle hung on him, like those untrained traitors, not only did it have no deterrent effect, but it also looked funny.

Such a person.

It shouldn't have aroused Dean's suspicions.

But after realizing the thickness of the riding boots, Al, who was originally the least likely murderer, became the most suspicious.

Al didn't like Carnif and knew that Carnif liked to wear riding boots.

The most important point: Al's height, wearing riding boots, is almost a little more than 1.8 meters.

The other side.

After Kanif was extracted, he walked up to Dean: "Can you tell me what happened?" ”

"Have you ever been in jail, sparing your boots?" , Dean did not answer Carneve's question, and asked rhetorically.

Kaniv shook his head: "Never, I like riding boots a lot, they make me look more energetic, so I wear them to and from work." ”

"Why is Al in there today?"

"Because the last time you came, I switched places with him, so that at least someone else came over and I could try to deal with it."

Before you can't escape, people will have a sense of luck.

The same goes for Kanif.

"Does Al usually come into contact with Delen?"

"Al?"

Kanif shook his head hesitantly: "He can't deter those prisoners, so he usually goes to the front desk, except for roll call, he basically doesn't go to the cell, no!" ”

Suddenly.

Kanif seemed to think of something, and nodded again: "Delen's wife comes to see him every month, and every time she applies for a conjugal room."

But our couple's room here is full of clutter.

For the sake of good management, we all gave the office to the prisoner couples to solve their physiological needs, so Al only had access to Deren at that time! ”

Is that so?

Dean thought of the black plain lace pantyhose hidden in Al's drawer, and said thoughtfully: "I know, after the identification results come out, I will tell you the reason, before that, please appear in the clearing, don't make a misleading move." ”

Karniv nodded irritably, crouched in the corner of the office, and smoked a cigarette.

Dean glanced at Robert and motioned for him to go and see him, then went outside the office, took out his cellphone, and dialed Delen's wife.

In order to facilitate the solving of the case.

The two swapped numbers yesterday.

The phone is connected.

Delen's wife was a little nervous and said, "Detective Dean, is there anything else?" ”

"Are you hiding something from me!"

"No, no." , Hearing Dean's serious tone, Delen's wife panicked: "Detective Dean, what is going on, I really didn't hide it from you." ”

Dean felt as if she wasn't lying, so he said more bluntly, "Every time you visit Delenn, do you always help him get released?" ”

"Huh?"

On the other end of the phone, there was an embarrassed exclamation from Delen's wife, followed by the sound of the door opening.

She seemed to hide in another place, and then whispered: "Yes, I don't want to do this either, but Delenn threatened me that if he didn't do this, when he came out, he would ruin Arusky, and I could only satisfy him, and I didn't even dare to divorce him." ”

"Did he tell you to accompany the prison guards, or did anything unusual happen to you when you went to see him?"

The more Dean asked, the more outrageous it became.

But Delen's wife belongs to the kind of woman who is willing to sacrifice a lot for her son.

She endured her shame and answered the question: "He mentioned that I was going to seduce the black prison guard for his parole application, but the other party was not fooled, as long as money, abnormal things.

By the way, the last time I went to see Delen, I don't know if I was too tired, I took a nap in the office, and when I woke up, the black lace pantyhose on my body were gone.

Delenn said he was going to take it in prison and use it for himself, so I didn't ask much. ”

Black lace pantyhose.

Huh.

Al.

Dean sighed in his heart and reassured: "Okay, I know, thank you for your cooperation, madam, don't worry, your son will be fine, don't bother." ”

Hang up.

Dean thought back to Al's profile.

Al's father died early, which may also be the reason, he was often bullied in this remote town, and even slapped one ear in the face.

Since then.

Al is even more withdrawn.

Then something even more unfortunate happened.

Al's mother, who was in a car accident and was in a wheelchair.

In adulthood.

At the suggestion of his mother, Al was admitted to the prison guard job here.

Because he was a kid from the town, and because of his unfortunate family, cheap salary, and the leniency of the prison, the prison administrator agreed without bothering Al with a hearing impairment in one ear.

Dean is not an empathetic person.

But in his heart, for some reason, he didn't want Al to be really a murderer, otherwise it was hard to imagine how Al's mother should spend the rest of her life.

Dean laughed to himself.

In this life, I have a mother who loves me, and my somewhat distorted human nature seems to be moving closer to normal people.

"Dean, it's out!" Holtz walks into the prison guard's office, interrupting Dean's ramblings.

Outside the office.

Holtz's father, Mr. Bob, was taking Carneve's fresh footprints and looking at them carefully, and when he saw Dean coming, he put down the foot mold and said, "This is definitely not the same person as the foot model found at the scene." ”

"Why?"

"Get used to it!" Bob Science said: "The weight of the person who wears the shoes, the habit of walking the center of gravity, and the wear and tear of the soles will all lead to different subtleties in the footprints." ”

"There are currently three inconsistencies."

"First, the shoe prints on the scene are shallower, which means that the man's weight is at least fifteen kilograms lighter than that of Kanif."

"Second, the riding boots worn by Kanif look old, but the materials are different, which is the practice of many retired mounted policemen.

In the past, riding boots were not breathable, easy to breed bacteria, and even made the feet rot and smelly.

So Kanif's boots are all custom-made and new, and this one doesn't match the pair of riding boots that have been worn for a long time on the scene. ”

"The third point is also the key to my conclusion that Kanif was not the one who left the footprints on the scene.

This involves the habit of walking.

Some people like to have the center of gravity in the front, some people like the center of gravity in the back, and some people walk inside the eight

These will result in different footprints.

The footprints on the scene are heavy in the front and light in the back, deep inside and shallow on the outside, and I have observed Kanif's walking habits, which do not match these.

This is something that few people will notice.

So Kanif shouldn't be the one who left the shoe prints on the spot! ”

Holtz wondered, "Dad, then you still rub Kanif's foot model?" ”

The little old man Bob laughed: "Experience is experience, and facts must speak." ”

The America of this world.

On the basis of these traces of evidence, it has been developed very well, which is enough to serve as a link in the chain of evidence.

And so.

Kanif, who was most likely the murderer, was thus freed from suspicion.

Since it's not Kanif.

The most suspicious one at the moment is Al.

Daisy also checked Al's account, and it was clean.

It now appears that Derren had seduce Al into making a mistake by selling his wife's body.

Dean told everyone what he had discovered.

"Al?" , Harry looked like he had seen a ghost: "Speaking of which, it is indeed more in line with the height of the murderer inferred by wound identification that he wears riding boots, but I always feel strange to say that he is a murderer." ”

He still remembered the silly way they looked when they asked and Al replied.

This is too different from a murderer.

"That's because you don't know much!"

Holtz glanced at Harry with disdain, and said with hindsight:

"Did you notice the hearing aids on Al's desk?

Daisy once took Howard's mother's inquiry record and asked me what was causing a screeching noise on the phone.

I hadn't paid attention to this before.

This situation is not uncommon.

For example, there is a problem with the reception frequency of the TV antenna of the surrounding person, the interaction of electronic instruments, and the interference of telegraphs.

Now it seems that it should be the impact of Al's hearing aids! ”

Dean frowned, "Why didn't you tell me about this?" ”

Howard's mother, before disconnecting herself from her son, had heard a high-pitched electronic murmur.

Dean looked at the interrogation log.

But he wasn't an omniscient deity, so he didn't pay attention to it just after asking Daisy to ask Holtz.

Holtz said aggrievedly: "It's only been two days since I found out about the case, and I've been called by you all the time, and I haven't had time to tell Daisy yet." ”

Solve the case normally.

Not to mention that it is counted in months, it generally takes at least ten days and half a month.

There is no such efficiency as Dean.

This also caused him to be as busy as a dog.

Harry had just been sarcastically ridiculed by Holtz, and hurriedly took the opportunity to sarcastically go back: "Wow, Holtz, if you had said this earlier, maybe Dean and I would have solved the case when we first came to prison." And don't you have a pair of twin assistants? What about them? ”

"That's it!"

Dean stopped the two big men from tearing up: "Regardless of whether Al is a murderer or not, let's see if his footprints match the traces that do not match the scene!" ”

"It's very simple, you just call him over, I'll pay attention to his walking habits!" , the little old man Bob said confidently.

Moment.

Al was called down by Kanif.

When he saw Dean and Harry, a rare smile appeared on his fat face, "See you again, Mr. Detective." ”

He liked Dean and Harry a lot.

Because the two of them were the only people in Al's short life, except for his mother, who kindly put his arms around his shoulders.

This made Al very much looking forward to the two of them coming over again.

Harry looked at the innocent smile on Al's face and subconsciously twisted his neck.

Dean smiled at him, then looked at Bob beside him.

Al, is it the real murderer?

Eight thousand five hundred words.

It seems to be in good shape today.

Go on!
