Rebirth as an official

He shook his head“ No hurry. It's nothing to do when we go down the mountain. We've been walking around the yard for a while, but there's still nothing to show. Then he went out of the yard and surrounded the courtyard wall of the Ma family.

Song Feng, of course, is not at ease to let Xu Li walk around alone in the deep mountains in the dead of night. He has been closely following Xu Li, and there are two policemen behind him to protect Xu Li's safety.

When Xu Li went to the west of the courtyard, he saw a primeval forest more than 20 meters away by the strong light of the flashlight. But there were rows of messy shoe prints between the courtyard wall and the forest. It seems that this is the escape route for the criminal to escape to the forest. These shoe prints should be left by the police when they were investigating the scene in addition to those left by the criminal.

Xu Li flashed a flashlight at these messy footprints and asked Song Feng, "can you still remember those footprints left by the murderer?"

Hearing Xu Li's inquiry, Song Feng hurried forward and said, "remember! Moreover, the footprints left by the murderer are easy to recognize, which are totally different from the footprints left by us when we investigate the scene! " After that, Song Feng pointed to a row of obvious marks in the pile of messy footprints and said, "this row of footprints is left by the murderer. After studying and consulting experts from the provincial department, we finally determined that he should be wearing a pair of leather boots."

Xu Li stares at this row of footprints carefully, while others follow. When Li Xiaoguo saw the footprints left by the murderer, he was shocked and said, "I've seen this kind of footprints."

"Captain Li? When and where?. Xu stood up and asked urgently.

"It must have been a year ago." Li Xiaoguo recalled it carefully. Just said: "yes, just a year ago, we invited the leaders of the garrison on the other side to visit our troops. At that time, we also came to one of their leaders. I remember that he was also wearing military boots. On that day, because of the snow, I walked with him and just noticed the footprints left by his military boots, which should be consistent with the footprints!"

Without waiting for others to speak, Song Feng said excitedly: "is it the commander who escaped this time? Let's get in touch with the other side and see if they can provide some useful clues! "

But Li Xiaoguo said with a smile: "nothing! When our regiment was transferred yesterday, the news of our regiment also appeared on the other side, and specially called to ask about the situation. It was the regiment leader who called. How could he have sneaked in a week ago? I mean this kind of military boots should be their standard equipment, but at least they must be equipped by leaders above the deputy regiment level. It can be seen that the murderer is really unusual, at least he is an officer at the deputy regiment level! " After listening to Li Xiaoguo's explanation, Song Feng's excitement just disappeared. He thought he had found a useful clue, but now he was able to confirm that he might be a league level cadre. But even this inference may not be accurate. The pair of army boots may have been stolen by the murderer on the other side!

After hearing this, Xu Li sighed. Since Li Xiaoguo didn't give any valuable clues, he should continue to check the traces left at the scene. With the footprints of the murderer, Xu Lishun walked all the way to the pine where the footprints disappeared. Xu Li stands under the tree and looks up. The big tree is nearly a person's thick, with luxuriant branches. The branches with thick and thin arms stretch out five or six meters away and cross with the surrounding trees. If the murderer is really agile, with the help of these trees, he can really disappear in the forest without leaving any traces on the ground. If you want to find clues from these trees, it is basically not a problem that can be solved by manpower.

The branches of a pine tree more than ten meters high are complicated. Who is the enemy's assailant escaping from that direction? And if you want to look up the tree, where do you look for so many ladders? Only a few soldiers can climb down the tree, even if they are tired to death, they can't find a few meters away. Besides, the murderer had escaped for more than a week, and he had not known that he had gone down the tree and hid there.

Since there was no good clue in the tree, Xu Li didn't look at the tree any more. Instead, he bowed his head and carefully studied the footprints left by the murderer. After all, these footprints can be said to be the most obvious evidence left by the murderer. The most obvious evidence? Xu Li's mind suddenly moved. According to the method of the murderer, how could he have such obvious footprints? What's more, it doesn't take much effort to deal with these footprints. As long as you just fold off a branch and walk backward, you can't find any clues. But what's the purpose of the murderer's leaving these footprints? Does he think these footprints are irrelevant, even if they are now useless? Or in the old cloth doubt, mislead oneself?

Xu Li took a flashlight and looked at these footprints carefully, but there was no useful clue for a long time. Footprints were arranged there one by one, about 60 cm apart, and the footprints were clear without any scratch. It can be seen that the murderer was still calm and in no panic when he left.

After walking about seven or eight meters, these footprints gradually blurred. Xu Li looked up and saw that it was far away from the forest, and the shadow of the trees could not cover it. In addition, the temperature rises during the day in recent days, and under the sunlight, the snow has been dried.

Seeing Xu Li carefully examining these footprints, other people also gathered around to examine them. But half a day later, there was no sign.

Xu Li followed the footprints a few steps and came to the wall of the Majia. I thought I couldn't find any clues this time, but I suddenly saw some dirt under a vague footprint.

Xu Li frowned, squatted on the edge of the footprints for a moment, looked for a stick from one side, but Xu Li didn't dare to destroy the footprints. Instead, he pulled away the snow beside the footprints. Although the snow on the ground had melted, it was still about an inch deep. After pulling away the accumulated snow, he saw the frozen black soil below.

When Xu Li saw this, his brow became deeper. Since there is still about an inch of snow nearby, how can we see the soil under the footprints? After thinking about it, Xu Li used a stick to dig away the solid snow under his footprints, but he didn't expect that there was a real problem. It's not a piece of snow, but a piece of snow! And in this thin piece of snow, I saw footprints again!

"Come and have a look!" Xu Li greets others excitedly.

When they heard Xu Li's cry, they all gathered around. Before Zhang Guixiang's arrival, his voice had already spread: "Secretary General Xu, is there any clue?" Everyone looked at Xu Li with a look of hope.
