Chapter 11 Shoes are a clue
This is a pair of fine leather shoes that have been worn for less than two months. They have a spiral pattern. The shoes are valuable. At this time, good leather shoes were basically customized.
Finding the provenance of the shoes is equivalent to finding the person.
Shoes are key.
As for the cigarette butts, Xu Qingyun decided to give up for the time being. The cigarette butts had long lost their original appearance in humid places. The technology at this time could not provide anything useful, so it should be used as a comparison thing in the future.
Just as he was thinking about it, the office door was pushed open. Xu Qingshi stood outside the door and bent over. Wang Jiansheng and an old man walked in first.
"Director."
Everyone in the office stood up, and the flower girl and her family stood up in fright.
Xu Qingshi waved and signaled Zuo Jinfang to lead other colleagues to temporarily retreat outside the door and wait.
Everyone filed out, and the originally small office instantly became spacious and quiet.
"Director, this is the child. We asked her in advance. She said that someone stopped her in the afternoon and first asked her if she could read. After she said she couldn't read, the person asked her to go to the teahouse to talk to people and hand over notes and photos. "
Yi Sheng just reported a simple situation, and Xu Qingyun was conveying it.
"Sure enough."
Wang Jiansheng snorted coldly and asked the child if she could read, because he was afraid that she would recognize the content on the note. If the child answered that she could read, he would definitely change her.
"Old Huang, this child has met someone. Ask her for a portrait."
Wang Jiansheng said to the old man who was following him. The old man hurriedly bent down and agreed, taking out the pen and paper he had brought with him.
Xu Qingyun was slightly startled when he saw the tools he took out. The first thing the old man took out was a writing brush.
In his previous life, he worked with the police on cases. When there was no surveillance video and the suspect was seen, he used interviews and sketches, and never saw a brush portrait.
"Child, how old is that person? Is he thin or fat, tall or short?"
Lao Huang sat down and asked the flower boy to stand next to him with a kind attitude. The flower boy looked at his mother and carefully replied: "He is not fat, and he is not tall either."
"What kind of hair does he have?..."
Lao Huang started to ask questions, which were very detailed and professional.
Xu Qingyun listened carefully and gradually sketched out the general situation of this person in his mind.
Male, aged between thirty and forty years.
Medium build, on the thin side.
His skin color is fair and he has an obvious bookish air.
The eyes are slender and sharp.
Short hair, neat and neat.
Lao Huang drew very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to draw what looked like a human face on the paper.
The brush portrait cannot be compared with the sketch portrait at all, but it can be seen that Lao Huang has good skills and has everything he should look like. Xu Qingyun's eyebrows are twitching, not because of the portrait, but because of the person the flower girl said and him There are discrepancies in the clues found today.
According to the flower girl's description, the man who was looking for her did not wear glasses and was a thin man, not fat at all.
Glasses can be disguised, but according to Xu Qingyun's investigation, the opponent is at most 1.68 meters tall and weighs at least 130 kilograms. There is no way he is thin.
The person who went to the joint today was not the same person who went to the newspaper office yesterday.
There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that there are at least two spies, and the other is that the person who went to the newspaper office was used, and the one the flower boy saw was the real spy.
"Old Huang, please go back first and remember to keep your mouth shut."
Lao Huang nodded and bowed: "Secretary, don't worry, I've never talked too much in my life, and I won't say a word that I shouldn't have said." Xu Qingyun sent him out and asked Yi Sheng to come in and take the flower girl and his family to settle down. They have to live here for a few days before catching the spy.
I won't wrong them, I eat and drink well every day, and I still have a huge income every day.
After Xu Qingyun came back, Wang Jiansheng took the initiative and said: "Three generations of Lao Huang's family have eaten this bowl of rice. They used to help the yamen paint sea arrests. After the Manchu Dynasty disappeared, Lao Huang entered our Tianjin Police Station and still relied on portraits to make a living. Later, he rectified I sent him back home because of his age, but I didn’t expect to use him again this time.”
"Director, he draws very well."
Xu Qingyun responded in a low voice. This is not flattery. Lao Huang's painting skills are indeed good. At least he captured the general appearance of the characters. They are not as funny as in the movies. The portraits of Haizhou are quite realistic and there will be no people standing next to them. situation of human recognition.
However, in the past, the main reliance was not on the portraits, but on the detailed introductions above.
"How is the progress of your investigation over there?"
There were only three of them left in the office. Wang Jiansheng asked directly without being polite.
"I was about to report to you."
Xu Qingyun told everything about what he learned from going to the newspaper today, and pointed out in particular that the person who issued the signal and the spy who instigated the little girl were not the same person.
"You can gain so much information just by looking at a shoe print?"
Wang Jiansheng's face was full of astonishment, as if he had seen something incredible. The shoe print was a clue, but Xu Qingyun saw too many problems. Not only his height and body shape, he even saw that it was a new pair of shoes.
He didn't know that this was because there was only half a pair of shoe prints. If it were complete, he could accurately estimate the height to one centimeter and the weight to within three kilograms.
It can even infer age, physical condition, etc.
Xu Qingshi took the words and said with a smile: "Director, you don't know, Qingyun has been interested in studying these things since he was a child, and he cannot be considered a dignified person."
Wang Jiansheng glared at him: "You are elegant if you can solve crimes. There is no need to belittle your brother. Qingyun, how did you determine so many situations through shoe prints?"
He originally wanted to get the portrait to see if he could make a major breakthrough with the tea house and President Gao, but he didn't expect Xu Qingyun to find so many clues through footprints, and he was both surprised and curious about Xu Qingyun's ability.
"Director, please wait a moment."
Xu Qingyun went out again and asked Zheng Jiming to get back the urgently cleaned photos.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, but Zheng Jiming and others were in high spirits. The director could solve the case in their office, and everyone would get a share of the credit.
Even if you can't get promoted this time, there will be great opportunities for promotion in the future.
Fifteen minutes later, Zheng Jiming quickly ran over and brought the photo.
"Director, these are the photos I took at the scene today."
Black and white photos naturally look inferior to later high-definition photos, but Xu Qingyun's photos are very clear and all the details can be seen.
Wang Jiansheng looked at it carefully and then asked: "It looks like leather shoes. How did you see so many things on the shoe prints?"
Xu Qingshi was equally curious. He really didn't know that his younger brother had this ability.
"The edge of this shoe print is clear, the wear is not obvious, and the shoe print is not big, which means that the owner's feet are not too big. From the traces of pressure on the side, it can be judged that he is a short person. Look at this difficulty point and the depth. It shows that he is not light..."
Xu Qingyun did not use too many professional terms, but simply introduced how to judge by shoe prints. Even so, Wang Jiansheng and Xu Qingshi were stunned for a moment.
After Xu Qingyun finished speaking, Wang Jiansheng couldn't help but applaud: "That makes sense. I didn't expect you to have such a unique skill. Not bad, very good."
"How are you going to investigate next?"
Wang Jiansheng took the initiative and asked whether the person who went to the newspaper office was a spy or not, he must be related to a spy, and his identity must be found out.
