Chapter 28 Two ways to tie shoelaces

After Ye Chen arrived at the scene just now, he carefully observed the situation at the scene and the condition of the corpse.

After capturing the criminal before, the system rewarded him with the 'Sight as Sharp as a Torch' skill.

As the name suggests, this skill allows Ye Chen to have powers of observation that are different from ordinary people.

Discover tiny details that others cannot.

He looked at the whole body and found that the clothes were indeed intact, but the shoelaces of the deceased immediately made him realize there was a problem.

"You said there's something wrong with the shoelaces? What's the problem? Why can't I see it?" Xiao Feng listened to Ye Chen's words and looked at the shoelaces carefully, but still didn't find anything, so he couldn't help but ask.

Team Liu on the side was also confused.

The clothes are all in good condition and the shoelaces are tied well. What's the problem?

"The way the shoelaces are tied is the biggest flaw!"

Ye Chen said categorically, word for word.

After hearing what he said, everyone's eyes turned to the shoes on the deceased's feet.

Xiao Feng looked through it with his gloved hands, but still found nothing.

"Isn't this a very common way of tying shoelaces? I tie my shoelaces this way too! What does this mean?"

Ye Chen listened and did not refute. He looked at the feet of the people around him and saw that Captain Liu was wearing a pair of sneakers with laces. He immediately said: "Team Leader Xiao, Captain Liu is wearing The shoes just happen to have laces, so let’s tie Captain Liu’s laces and let’s take a look.”

As soon as Ye Chen said this, everyone looked confused.

Although Xiao Feng thought that tying shoelaces was a trivial matter that even a child could do, and he didn't understand why Ye Chen asked him to tie it for Team Liu, he did not refuse, but tied Team Liu's shoes with suspicion. bring.

After tying it, he immediately pointed to Team Liu's shoelaces and said, "Look, look, did I tie it correctly?"

"Isn't this the same as the one on the feet of the deceased!"

"This is the simplest method, even children can do it!"

The people next to him also nodded, feeling that Xiao Feng was right.

Even Captain Liu looked puzzled and asked: "Ye Chen, these shoelaces are not very easy to tie. What's the problem?"

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, everyone, it's not over yet."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned to look at Xiao Feng and said, "Next, I need you to tie it again!"

After hearing Ye Chen's request, everyone started talking in confusion.

"Hasn't Team Leader Xiao already tied it once? Why do you need to tie it again?"

"No matter how many times you tie it, it still won't be the same. Is this necessary?"

"Ye Chen, stop beating around the bush and just say what you have to say!"

"Isn't this how you tie your shoelaces back and forth?"

Xiao Feng did not speak, but looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said seriously: "Team Leader Xiao, believe me, this time, it's different."

After Xiao Feng heard this, he didn't say much and started to untie the shoelaces he had just tied.

Ye Chen spoke again.

"Don't move!" As he said this, he motioned for Captain Liu to take off his shoes. Captain Liu looked confused, but didn't ask any more questions. He took off one of his shoes and handed it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen turned the shoe around, with the toe facing outward, handed it to Xiao Feng, and said, "This time, try tying it like this."

Xiao Feng really couldn't understand Ye Chen's weird request.

However, seeing that Captain Liu also acquiesced to Ye Chen's approach, he said no more.

He quickly tied his shoelaces again and said without thinking: "It's tied, look, it's still the same!"

However, Ye Chen did smile and shook his head without saying anything.

But Captain Liu, who had been standing aside and watching, his eyes lit up at this moment and he spoke suddenly. "wrong!"

"It seems like something is different!"

When Captain Liu said this, everyone was stunned.

He quickly lowered his head to look at the shoelaces that Xiao Feng had tied just now.

These people are all members of the criminal police, and their observation skills are not bad. After careful identification, it can be seen that the shoelaces Xiao Feng tied this time do look somewhat different from those on the feet of the deceased.

But they could only tell that it was indeed different, but they couldn't tell what exactly was different.

Xiao Feng was stunned and subconsciously said: "How could this happen... I obviously tied them all in the same way! How could it be different?"

Team Liu also looked puzzled, and finally asked: "Ye Chen, just tell me what is going on!"

Ye Chen nodded, spoke slowly, and started talking.

"Team Leader Xiao's tying method is indeed the same, but the difference is the direction of tying the shoelaces twice."

"The first time, Captain Liu was wearing shoes, and he tied the shoelaces. The second time, he took off his shoes, with the toes of the shoes facing outward, and he tied the shoelaces."

Ye Chen spoke clearly and logically.

"Then what? What's the difference?" The police officer on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's different!" Ye Chen said.

"When you tie your shoes for the second time, the toe points are facing outward, which simulates the direction that Team Leader Xiao would tie his own shoes. But when he ties them for the first time, the direction is completely opposite! It's the direction of tying someone else's shoes! "

"The shoelaces Team Leader Xiao tied the first time were exactly the same as those on the deceased's feet, but they were completely different from the second time he simulated the angle of tying his own shoelaces!"

"This problem is huge!"

As soon as Ye Chen said these words, everyone at the scene suddenly looked like they were suddenly enlightened.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of this just now!"

"For Ye Chen to say this, it seems like this is really the case!"

Even Xiao Feng stood up excitedly.

His eyes flashed and he said urgently: "I understand!"

"So it is!"

"But, the shoelaces are tied differently, what does that mean?"

Light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and he spoke word by word: "It's very simple. This means that the shoelaces on the deceased's feet were not tied by him before his death!"

"But others, even the murderer, put the shoes on him and tied the shoelaces!"

As soon as Ye Chen's words came out, it was like a boulder sinking into water, causing thousands of waves.

"murderer?!"

"Ye Chen, do you mean that the deceased did not commit suicide by jumping into the lake at all, but someone killed him and then threw his body into the water??"

Captain Liu asked.

"That's right!" Ye Chen nodded.

"According to my inference, it is indeed so!"

At this moment, all the criminal police investigating the scene were in an uproar.

They were almost ready to conclude that it was a suicide case. Ye Chen just took a look and immediately discovered the problem.

He even told what he believed to be the truth.

This made these old detectives feel uncomfortable.
