Coroner Coroner

"It's like here...the prisoner's soles hit the ground, and the gravel stepped on will be forced to move backward."

"One side of the formed crack points in the direction of progress."

Lin Xinyi explained briefly, and quietly accelerated the pace of tracking.

The "prisoner" was able to escape very well.

After chasing along the stream for a while, they soon came to a muddy field that was not covered by gravel.

This kind of muddy land with sparse vegetation is the terrain that trace inspectors like to see most.

Because this kind of terrain is easy to print clear and complete footprints, the prisoner can reveal more information.

"Mr. Lin, there are footprints left by the prisoner here!"

"This trail leads to the creek."

"Could it be that the prisoner waded across the water and fled to the other side of the creek?"

Yuan Shan and Ye pointed to the string of footprints on the mud, with a slightly excited tone.

Unknowingly, she has been immersed in this interesting tracking game.

"Escaped to the other side of the brook?"

Lin Xinyi's expression was a bit strange:

In order not to be chased, he did not hesitate to wade across the river. As for such a fight?

However, judging from the direction of the dirt footprint, the "prisoner" really wades into the water.

And the footprints on the gravel can also be connected with the dirt footprints, it seems that these are really the footprints left by that guy.

"and many more…"

"This is a trap set by that guy."

Lin Xinyi stopped Ms. He who was full of energy and was about to chase directly across the river.

"Trap, trap?" Yuan Shanheye's big eyes were full of puzzlement.

"That's right..."

"These footprints are not his at all."

"It's about someone, maybe a climber, who stayed here when they came here before."

Lin Xinyi bent down and carefully observed the footprints on the mud:

"see it?"

"It hasn't rained in the last two days, and the sun is strong today. The mud is dry now."

"If you step on it, it should leave relatively clear and flat footprints."

"But look at this string of footprints..."

"The surface of this series of footprints is relatively rough, obviously left after the rain and when the weather is wet."

"Because the soil quality returns to moisture at this time, the ground becomes wet, and the part of the foot will take the soil away, so the footprints will appear scaly and uneven."

Lin Xinyi gave a conclusion:

"So this string of footprints is definitely left by the predecessors."

"And that guy saw this series of footprints left by others, so he walked here deliberately, and connected his tread marks on the gravel with this series of dirt footprints, making it look like footprints left by a person."

"But in fact…"

He carefully observed the surrounding environment:

"The guy should have stepped sideways on these moss-free rocks, then jumped over the rocks on this piece of mud where clear footprints are easy to leave, and went into the woods in front of him."

"That way he doesn't have to leave his tracks in the dirt."

"And it can also mislead us into thinking that he turned and waded across the river and fled across the river."

"This..." Yuan Shan and Ye became more and more nervous:

"The other party is so afraid of being chased by us, and even uses this kind of trap to mislead us."

"He, he can't really be Director Kakuda's accomplice, trying to hide in the dark and do some bad things?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while:

Yeah, this guy,...

Even the anti-tracking skills are used.

Is he determined to be single for the rest of his life?

Chapter 294 Hopeless Sluggishness

Lin Xinyi and Toyama and Ye continued to track forward.

As he expected, after crossing the muddy field and walking a few more steps forward, the broken footprints of the prisoner resumed.

The other party apparently fled back to the woods.

And Lin Xinyi and Miss Ye followed closely into the woods, and after a while, they followed the traces and came out from the other side of the woods.

Walking out of the woods, there is a flat concrete floor in front of you.

By this time they had gone completely down the hill without knowing it.

On one side is a stepped climbing path, from which you can climb up the mountain to enjoy the scenery.

On the other side is a flat cement road, along which you can go all the way to the gate of the scenic spot.

At the intersection of the stepped climbing path and the flat concrete road, under the trees beside the road, there are still several locked bicycles neatly parked.

This may be the means of transportation used by the staff of the scenic spot on the mountain to return to the nearby residence after getting off work and walking down the mountain.

"Mr. Lin!"

Yuan Shan and Ye quickly discovered:

"There are bicycle tire marks on the dirt here."

"Did the prisoner park his bicycle here in advance, and escaped on his bicycle after escaping from the woods?"

As she said, there was indeed a clear tire track on a small piece of muddy ground with sparse vegetation at the edge of the forest.

It looked a lot like someone picked up a bike from here and rode away.

"Where the tire marks pass, the blades of grass are seriously lodging."

"Mr. Lin, you said last night that grass blades have a strong self-healing ability."

"Under today's abundant light conditions, grass leaves that are overwhelmed can grow and recover in a few hours."

"And now the grass blades have fallen so badly where the tire marks pass, and there is no sign of repair at all-this should be a mark that has just been formed."

After these two days of immersion, Ms. He and Ye seemed to have entered the state unknowingly.

She tried to analyze that the tire marks had just formed, and then judged that most of the prisoners escaped on bicycles, so they left such marks.

"You did a good job analyzing it."

Lin Xinyi gave encouragement in a timely manner:

"However, the prisoner should not have escaped by bicycle."

"Either this is the trace left by other people, or it is the trace left by the prisoner deliberately to mislead us."

"Why?" Yuan Shan and Ye looked over in confusion.

"Eh..." Lin Xinyi hesitated.

Because he had already guessed who the prisoner was, and he also knew that that guy was probably going up the stairs to join everyone on the mountain now, and he would definitely not escape the scenic spot by bicycle.

But now it can be regarded as a practical training, and it is difficult for him to give such a simple answer.

So, Lin Xinyi bent down and observed carefully...

"I understand."

"This is indeed another trick set up by the criminal."

He sighed helplessly:

The great detective really spent a lot of effort in order to hide himself.

"First of all, when we ride a bicycle, we put our feet on the ground for support."

"But there are only tire marks on this muddy ground, but no footprints."

"Because the guy was afraid to leave a clear track and let us find his identity through the shoe prints - so he carefully avoided it."

"Is that so..."

Yuan Shan and Ye rubbed their chins unconsciously.

The demeanor of that action really looks like a famous detective:

"Not necessarily?"

"After all, this muddy field is only so big. Maybe the prisoner got on his bicycle outside the muddy field, and then rode over the muddy field to the concrete road?"

"That way, he won't leave footprints in the mud."

"No, that won't be the case."

"Because even the tire marks were forged by the prisoner."

"He didn't ride away at all. If he rode away from here, the direction of the tire rolling should be from the woods to the concrete road."

"But the reality is quite the opposite."

"The tire was pressed inward from the concrete road to the dirt ground and rolled towards the woods."

Lin Xinyi explained calmly.

"You can determine the direction of the vehicle by looking at the tire marks?" Ms. He Ye couldn't help being a little surprised: "Aren't these tires round...Wouldn't it look the same if you were going forward or backward?"
