Chapter 36 Dare to gamble?

"There is no element that should be found in the crime scene here. ↗," the moment the forensic department arrived, a senior forensic officer stood at the entrance of the alley and said this.

I empathized with this on the weekend because there was no tyrannical atmosphere on this path. It was as quiet as if nothing had happened. The trash can was placed very well. The weeds on the roadside were not trampled, there were no blood on the ground, and there were no messy footprints that should have existed on the surface during the fight... Nothing should have existed.

"Zhou, are you sure this is the scene where Catherine was held hostage?"

Justin also began to hesitate. What he saw was a scene where he had not suffered any damage and could not see any clues from the surface traces: "Catherine is Matthew's daughter. She was born in a police family and married a policeman. Such a woman will understand the seriousness of the matter when she was hostage. Even if she did not deliberately leave us clues, she would have subconscious resistance thinking. This is too clean."

The so-called tyrannical aura and elements at the crime scene refer to deeper analysis. For example, if the vase that should have been placed on the coffee table was smashed at the crime scene, the forensic department will analyze whether the vase was hit by someone and fell to the ground or was taken as a weapon. In other words, the crime scene is not static, but dynamic in the eyes of these Frankenstein.

Faced with Justin's suspicion, he didn't say anything on the weekend, and his mind was running quickly, leaving Carl and the people in the Western Conference to Justin there.

"High-up F-super, what do you mean? Are you saying that people from the Western Conference deliberately found a small road to play tricks on you? After we received the news of Catherine's disappearance from Parker Station, we stayed nearby for surveillance all morning. Following the surveillance video of Catherine leaving the building, we checked the surveillance in front of all nearby shops until we determined the location of Catherine's final disappearance. It took us two hours to find the clues, and even the copy of the surveillance is ready. Now, are you saying this to us?"

Carl was so angry that he was busy all morning but was suspected of the results of his work. No one was in good attitude towards this matter.

On the weekend, he stood aside and let them quarrel, and sorted out the entire scene according to his thoughts. The first thing he considered was Justin's question, that is, why did Catherine not resist.

The hostage does not resist generally depends on two adverse factors. First, Ted holds a gun. The gun is a fatal threat to anyone. Under such threats, as long as the other party does not express the murder of the person, most people will choose to verbally surrender and wait and see; then, there is anesthetic agent. A person who is injected with anesthetic agent cannot resist at all.

So, based on Ted's habit of committing crimes that had never used guns in previous cases, he prefers to choose anesthetic agents on weekends...

"s-h-i-t!" A swearing over the weekend, and a sudden burst of anger appeared in his chest. If this anger could be taken out, he would like to completely ignite the entire Los Angeles and burn Ted, who might still be left here, to death.

Many anesthetic drugs are harmful to the fetus, and some anesthetic drugs can also cause fetal malformations and intellectual deficiencies when the fetus is not developed and mature... In case the dose of anesthetic drugs controlled by Ted is too large...

"Everyone, please search carefully on this path. This case is very important to us." Justin began to communicate with the forensic department after choking by Carl. Not only did he fight for his breath, but more importantly, Ted was once a person that even Joe could not catch.

At this moment, he had already squatted on the ground on weekends and wanted to confirm his guess.

Catherine is a pregnant woman or a pregnant woman with a bulge in her belly, which proves that Catherine's weight will increase rapidly during pregnancy. This is common sense that anyone who has served pregnant women knows; Ted is not a violent criminal, nor is he a strong muscular man. Ted, who has never been full of strength during the crime, faces such a pregnant woman who fell down after being anesthetized. His first choice is definitely not to carry her back, he can only choose to hold her or drag her.

Is his strength enough?

Catherine is five feet nine inches (175cm), which can quickly increase her weight to a point that makes ordinary people embarrassed during pregnancy. It is possible that the moment Ted picks up Catherine, she will use her forefoot to support the ground to resist this weight. This is a habit of controlling body balance. No one will support the ground with his heels, except for emergencies when he goes backwards, which leads to a hurry to retreat. So, will Ted leave footprints under this pressure?

One footprint is enough to prove how Ted took Catherine away.

On the weekend, Ted was very sure that he left with Catherine in his arms. If he dragged it, he would leave a very obvious drag mark on this path, and even after treatment, it would become unnatural... Just like a dusty table will leave a trace once it is touched by someone. If you want to deal with this kind of mark, you can only wipe the table clean with a wet rag. On this path, Ted does not have the conditions to wipe everything clean. The earth color will be the first to betray him, because the color of the earth will become unique due to different levels.

In film and television dramas, the way the murderer buried the person underground and built the old soil after killing people is not suitable for modern times. He personally conducted this experiment on the weekend. He dug a hole on the ground, buried it, and finally covered it with the old soil. The dug place was left there like a ghost shaved, which was completely different from the natural surface. If Ted dared to drag Catherine out of this path, the traces left behind will become a mark that he will never be wiped clean in his life, and he will not be so stupid.

"Privately, I found a footprint!" After the person from the forensic department shouted this sentence, he looked down at the footprint on the ground, with a very focused expression.

The first one to rush over the weekend, but what he saw was not complete footprints, to be precise, half. It was a half-arc curved crescent trace, and there were small earth buns filled with earth marks. When I saw this trace, I could imagine the scene of Ted pedaling the ground with his forefoot while under pressure on the moment when he picked up Catherine.

However, the footprint was crossed on the path, as if Ted was holding Catherine sideways, and he couldn't tell the direction he left. The key is that the footprint was very strange...

"Privately, I suspect that this footprint is fake..." When the forensic department staff said this to Justin, Justin said in disbelief: "It is impossible. He should pursue speed when committing a crime in such a place. How can he have time to make fake footprints to confuse the police?"

"Have you seen such footprints in the city?" said on the weekend, "This footprint usually appears in the desert, where the soil is so soft that it will leave a pit when you step on it. The footprint in front of you does not match the soil around you. The road is very trampled. How could there be such a soft position? This is not a position that is prone to accumulate dust near the base of the wall."

It was strange when I saw this footprint. It had not rained in Los Angeles in recent days, and there was no water or mud on the road. In this case, the footprint in front of me was very unreasonable. It would be reasonable to have a very shallow footprint trace, even leaving only a broken edge mark on the sole.

Over the weekend I remembered the clues I found in the books in prison, which was very consistent with Ted's style.

"Carl."

Turning around and asking at Carl over the weekend, "How many exits are there on this road?"

“Three.”

"Then we will use the stupidest method."

The weekend continued: "Gentlemen, Ted must have driven here. Then when people around him see a man holding a coma pregnant woman in the car, they will definitely take a look. Instead of finding clues here to prove where Ted is, we might as well go directly to each exit to inquire."

If there were no such fake footprints, I would rather waste some time here for assertion work on weekends, at least this would let him know what Catherine was doing when she left here. She could have something to say when she went back to see Chekov and Matthew. However, after the fake footprints appeared, he gave up doing so. With the fake footprints, he would doubt every clue that appeared on this path on weekends, and judged the authenticity of the clues through hesitation and inference. Time would slowly pass with his judgment, wasting the best opportunity to pursue Ted.

Then why not settle for the second best?

Wouldn't it be better to just go to the exit and ask?

Sometimes, being a policeman has to learn to be flexible, even if you have the forensic skills.

On the weekend, I gave up the part I was good at and only left a few forensic personnel who were good at mark identification on the scene. The rest walked towards three exits separately to ask the residents around me if they had seen a man in a suit holding a pregnant woman in a car. What he wanted was the model and color of the car. It would be best if he had a license plate.

Justin did not have much opinion on this, and he had never participated in the work of the forensics department.

So, the patrol officers from the Western Bureau forced the detectives to walk towards the three exits separately. Inquiring was the basic skill of each policeman and detective. I felt that the result should come out soon after the weekend...

But he miscalculated again. During the weekend, he and Justin found nothing during the inquiry process. He actually didn't get any clues when calling others!

No one saw the pregnant woman being carried out, but someone saw Catherine turning into the path along the intersection.

How is this possible?

"Is this your idea of ​​solving the case?" Justin looked at him mockingly. The reason why he followed the advice of the weekend to inquire was entirely because he knew the case as much as the weekend. Now it proved that this decision was wrong, and it was very wrong!

He was stunned on the spot on weekends, and he couldn't figure out the matter clearly. This was unreasonable!

If that car really exists, it would be impossible for the residents around to see it at 10 a.m. Even when walking over the road, someone would unconsciously take a look at a pregnant woman. How could no one pay attention to a person who was holding a coma pregnant woman in the car?

unless……

I remembered the desert ant hiding in the refrigerator on the weekend, because only by hiding in a nearby house can we avoid surveillance of all road surveillance equipment and avoid the exposed legs on the means of transportation!

But, do you dare to gamble on weekends?

If he notified Matthew and sent a large number of police to search this area, it would be fine if he won the bet, but he lost it... he completely missed the time to catch up with Ted. Maybe after this search, the daylily would be cold. (To be continued.)
