“Detective Zhao, you are … Be careful, be careful …” Captain li was shocked when he saw Zhao Yu climb over the west wall.
“Zhao Yu, what are you doing?”
Miao Ying quickly ran to the balcony, only to find that Zhao Yu had already walked along the high courtyard wall in a tightrope-like posture as he walked out.
Zhao Yu’s sudden action also attracted the attention of the other police officers, and they all turned their eyes to him.
However, Zhao Yu didn’t care about the others “gazes. He walked a few steps along the courtyard wall, then took out his mobile phone and searched for the shoe prints that the technical team had found at the scene of the crime.
After that, he secretly activated a device called the footprint identifier. Zhao Yu had gotten this device a long time ago, and he had accumulated 15 of them.
As the name suggested, the function of the device was to identify and compare footprints, which was very useful for Zhao Yu’s case-solving work.
However, due to the different cases, Zhao Yu had never used it before. This was his first time.
Zhao Yu thought that he could give it a try.
There was no other exit to the Yu family’s old mansion. That night, the suspect who took the skull must have escaped the scene through this courtyard wall.
So, as long as he could find a matching shoe print, he could at least determine the direction of the suspect’s escape.
So, he opened the shoe print on his phone and scanned the shoe print into the system device. Then, the footprint identifier immediately displayed a variety of data and functions.
Among them, the data given by the indiscernible device was basically the same as the police’s judgment based on the footprints. The suspect should be a man less than 1.7 meters tall.
Then, Zhao Yu turned on the scanning function of his invisible detector and began to scan the places he had passed. Once the device found a matching footprint, it would immediately sound an alarm.
However, as it had been two days since the case, Zhao Yu was worried about whether the invisible detector would still work.
The walls were made of cement, and the local climate of Harland was humid, so there was little dust. The device could not find any footprints on the wall.
Zhao Yu could only place his hope outside the wall. Thus, he carefully bent down and began to use the footprint identifier to scan the ground outside the courtyard wall.
There was an empty space outside the courtyard wall. The empty space was originally paved with bricks, but because of years of disrepair, many places were exposed to wet and soft soil.
If someone were to pass by, they would definitely leave behind footprints.
Zhao Yu was overjoyed. He lay on the wall and faced the wall, carefully scanning the places where the suspect might have left footprints.
Seeing Zhao Yu’s strange performance, the police officers were all dumbfounded. No one understood what the detective was doing.
However, Zhao Yu was originally very confident. If he was the suspect, he would have definitely chosen to escape here that night.
He only needed to jump down the three-meter-high courtyard wall, then find a random path, and he could escape.
However, when Zhao Yu climbed the Western Wall from the beginning to the end, although the footprint identifier caught some footprints on the ground outside, after identification and comparison, they were all ruled out. The suspect’s footprints were not among them!
No way?
Zhao Yu couldn’t help but frown and think, Could it be … That the suspect had changed his shoes?
“Mm … Detective Zhao!” Captain li Yanxia leaned on the balcony and shouted at Zhao Yu,”we’ve already searched outside, but we didn’t find any suspicious clues!”
Oh?
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu slowly turned around and looked around the entire Yu family mansion again.
The entire Yu family’s old mansion was divided into two parts, the courtyard and the Western-style building. The main entrance of the compound was located on the east side of the wall, which was also where the police had chased them that night, so it was impossible for the suspect to escape from the East.
To the North of the house was where the bungalow was located. The bungalow had no back door and was a standalone villa that was not connected to other buildings. So, if the suspect wanted to escape, he would have to step onto the west wall.
But …
Why weren’t there any footprints of the suspect outside the west wall?
Could it be …
The next second, Zhao Yu finally turned his gaze to the south side of the old mansion!
The southern wall of the old house was adjacent to another villa community. Between the walls of the two communities was a ditch less than two meters long.
On the night of the crime, the thief who found the bones had failed to steal from the villa community. In order to avoid being chased by the security guards, he had jumped into the Yu family’s old house in desperation.
Then …

Zhao Yu thought hard. Could the suspect have escaped from the South?
But …
He then looked at the length of the courtyard wall and felt that something was not right! If the suspect escaped from the South, wouldn’t that be a waste of time?
And …
As he pondered, he walked along the Western Wall toward the South and arrived at the southern wall.
Standing there and looking out, there was indeed a ditch in front of them. The ditch was overgrown with weeds and it even emitted a foul smell of decay.
This …
A scene of a person jumping into a smelly ditch flashed through Zhao Yu’s mind. That person was holding a white skull in his hands …
Although the possibility of this was very small, Zhao Yu still lay on the southern wall and used the footprint identifier to explore the area near the ditch.
However, the ground was overgrown with weeds, and the slopes on both sides of the ditch were very narrow, so no one could stand on them. After checking, there was still no matching shoe print.
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu was leaning against the wall and smacking his lips when a swarm of mosquitoes suddenly flew past. A few of them even hit his lips, and he almost couldn’t eat them.
Spit spit spit spit …
He spat a few times gloomily, then quickly turned around and sat on the wall.
Sigh …
This is getting interesting. There wasn’t even a footprint. Did the suspect fly away?
Or …
He turned back to look at the smelly ditch and muttered in his heart, you F * cking sneaked out from the smelly ditch?
“Ah … Hero … Please chase after my beautiful dream …”
At this critical moment, Zhao Yu’s mobile phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Peipei.
“Hello?” However, after picking up the phone, Zeng ke’s voice came from the other side.”Team leader, you’re right again! We’ve found the corpse’s body part and found the identity of the deceased!”
“Ah? Am I right?” Zhao Yu was puzzled.”What did I say right?”
“The victim was a model!” “Her name is resuna,” Zeng ke said excitedly.”Three months ago, she participated in a talent show in Hailan city with her modeling company.
“After the event, she didn’t go back to the company. She said she was going to spend a few days in Hailan, but I haven’t heard from her since!
“Before the comparison, her family had just uploaded the DNA data to the missing people database!”
“Oh! As expected!” It seemed that what he had been worried about the most had happened. There was a 99% chance that the white bone case was a murder!
“Zeng ke …” Zhao Yu quickly ordered,”send me the detailed information of the deceased!” And … And the police’s missing person investigation records, give them all to me!”
“Yes!” Zeng ke quickly agreed.
“Oh, that’s right!” Zhao Yu added excitedly,”look into that model company as well. If one of them is a model, then the other two might be … Mm …”
As Zhao Yu was too excited, his body tilted and he almost fell off the wall!
Losing his balance, he quickly used his hands to support himself.
In the end, due to the strength of his palm, he actually crushed the cement on the top of the wall, and a small piece of cement fell into the courtyard.
“What the …” After Zhao Yu steadied his body, he looked down almost subconsciously.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly discover something?
Eh?
What was that?
“Team leader, team leader, are you okay? What’s wrong with you?”
Over the phone, Zeng ke was still asking with concern, but Zhao Yu’s eyes were completely attracted to the thing in the yard.
On the ground very close to the wall, there were two unremarkable small pits!
