"Old director, you don't have to say anything! Although the theft case is not a criminal case, your Wansui Town is under the jurisdiction of Yanshan District, and we will not ignore your affairs."

Hearing Ji Jie's statement, the old director was very moved and thanked Ji Jie again and again.

Several people left the banquet, got on the police car, and followed Zhu Ming's Peugeot car to the western suburbs.

The town is not big. Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the carpet factory.

Song An observed that this carpet factory only had a large iron gate on the east side next to the road, and the road led directly to Wansui Town. The other three directions were all farmland.

The Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, the corn had been harvested, and the fields had begun to plant wheat for next year, so it looked very empty. The old director took three flashlights from the police car, kept one for himself, and gave two to Ji Jie.

"Song An, you and Tian Rui go to the wall and look for footprints. The old director and I will go to the finance office to check the situation.

Ji Jie gave Tian Rui a flashlight.

Tian Rui and Song An bent over with the flashlight and began to search along the factory wall.

"Teacher Song, look!"

The two came to the north wall and found a row of footprints in the wheat field.

The footprints started from the north wall and went north along the wheat field. They disappeared when they reached the village in front.

"The person who stole the money must be in this village, Teacher Song, let's chase him!" Tian Rui said happily.

Song An couldn't help but pat Tian Rui's little head,"You are so stupid, where can we chase him?"

Tian Rui pouted,"Come to think of it, it's such a big village, we can't search every household, and we don't have a search warrant."

Song An smiled, holding a flashlight, squatting in the wheat field, carefully observing the row of footprints.

Tian Rui beside him suddenly realized,"I understand, Teacher Song, you must want to extract the suspect's footprints, and then go into the village for comparison. According to the size of the footprints, you can quickly lock the suspect!"

"It's not impossible to do this, but there are three problems: First, we can't be sure that the person who stole the money must be a villager from the village in front.

Second, if the shoes the other party wears don't fit, or if he deliberately wears the wrong size shoes, it will be easy for us to wrongly accuse a good person and let the real murderer go.

As for the third, the Wansui Town Police Station has limited conditions for handling cases, and there are no technicians, so we can't make a reverse cast of the footprints.

"

After listening to Song An, Tian Rui looked disappointed,"Why are the criminal investigation methods taught in class different from the cases encountered in reality?"

"Little girl, don't be anxious, let's go to the factory first, and don't be impatient when handling cases."

Song An patted Tian Rui's shoulder, and the master and apprentice tacitly avoided the wheat field and walked carefully to the factory on the soil of the ridges.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the factory had gone off work. Only the finance office and the director's office were brightly lit.

Several major leaders of the blanket factory were there, smoking one cigarette after another, waiting for news from the director.

Song An went back and forth to the accounting office, first looked at the lock of the office, and the keyhole clearly showed signs of being pried open.

Then he looked around the room and found that except for the cabinet where the money was kept, there were no signs of prying on the keyholes of the other metal cabinets for office supplies and several drawers in the office.

But strangely, a chair in the finance office fell to the ground, and the back of the chair was facing the direction of the finance office door.

"The person who stole the money used tools to pry open the door locks and cabinets, but unfortunately the conditions in our police station are too simple, and the only person who knows a little bit of technology has gone to the city, so there is no way to extract fingerprints."

The old director frowned and said.

Ji Jie saw Song An and his apprentice coming in, and immediately asked,"How is your investigation going?"

"Captain Ji, we found footprints in the wheat field, they should be the suspect's footprints.

Tian Rui told Ji Jie about the footprints.

Song An saw that the security chief Zhu Ming was squatting at the foot of the wall, scratching his hair hard.

Needless to say, the money in the factory was stolen. Whether it can be recovered or not, this year's bonus is gone.

"Chief Zhu, when does your factory usually pay out money?" Song An asked.

Zhu Ming immediately stood up and replied,"It depends. Sometimes it's on the 10th, sometimes on the 13th, and sometimes on the 17th. This month it's considered late."

Song An nodded,"Has your factory ever lost money before?"

Zhu Ming thought for a moment,"There are villages near our factory. To be honest, the security is very average. Losing a few blankets or office supplies is a common occurrence, but losing money is definitely the first time!"

The old director and Ji Jie came over, and Ji Jie said,"From the current situation, the person who stole the money must be someone inside the factory, or someone from the nearby villages who is particularly familiar with the situation in the factory."

"What? You said that it was our own people who stole the money!" Zhu Ming stared. Ji

Jie nodded,"There is no doubt about this. He can clearly know the time when you pay wages, and he didn't steal anything else. The suspect came for the wages."

Song An added,"Whether it is an internal employee of the factory or not, one thing is certain, he must live in the village to the north! Moreover, it is very likely that he is a villager from the village closest to the factory."

Several people were surprised to hear Song An speak so accurately and even analyze the other party's village.

"Officer Song, what is your reason?" the old director asked quickly.
