Chapter 68: Who is Most Suspicious?
Ren Dongchao couldn't help but ask after seeing Liu Li's expression: "Captain, have you found the target?"
"There is indeed some clue, but there isn't enough confidence yet." After saying that, Liu Li looked at the confessions of the five people and then ordered Ren Dongchao to conduct a detailed investigation based on their confessions to see if anyone among them was lying.
After Ren Dongchao left, Liu Li walked into the courtyard: "It's already noon now, I suppose everyone is hungry. Later, Manager Yang will go to the restaurant to arrange food, but before that, please go to the mourning hall to compare the shoe prints first."
Seeing the puzzled expressions of everyone, Liu Li explained calmly: "I suppose you all don't know yet, last night when Yang and I were on duty at the crematorium, around midnight, a black shadow sneaked into the crematorium.
Then, we discovered the black shadow and tracked it down. However, after it escaped into the funeral home, it vanished. Although we didn't catch the shadow, it made a mistake and left its shoe print behind.
"In the flurry, that black shadow must not have noticed this point, so I guess he didn't change his shoes today and is still wearing last night's pair. Now, please go to the mourning hall and take a look at the shoe prints." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Li made a inviting gesture towards the door.
As soon as they heard this, Chen Si and the other four people's faces flashed with a hint of surprise, as if they all didn't know what had happened last night. After seeing Liu Li's gesture, several people hesitated for a moment before leaving the office area, each lost in thought, heading towards the funeral parlor on the north side.
Liu Li quietly followed behind the crowd, watching the reactions of several people after they left the office area. From the south side of the crematorium's office area to the north side of the funeral parlor, there were three roads that could be passed through. One was along the direction of the crematorium gate, which although a bit roundabout, was very flat.
Another is the green belt in front of the office area, although this road is close, but it needs to pass through the green belt, and it's easy to get dizzy with a few turns. The third is along the direction of the memorial hall. This road is not far or near, but because there are brick walls and the memorial hall blocking the way, sunlight cannot shine on the road, so when walking, it's hard to avoid feeling a bit chilly.
After leaving the office area, Chen Sici and Dong Chengjin chose the road to the memorial hall from the crematorium, while Tan Rongjie chose the direction of the crematorium gate to go to the memorial hall. Bai Chengshan originally wanted to follow Chen Sici and walk on the road to the memorial hall, but when he saw Huang Chengxin walking on the green belt road, he changed his route and followed behind Huang Chengxin.
After watching the five people walk away, Liu Li narrowed his eyes, nodded thoughtfully, and just then his phone rang. Seeing the number, a hint of excitement flashed across his face, but he didn't answer it, instead pressing the reject button. Closing his phone, he called out to Yang Zhengcai before heading in the same direction towards the funeral parlor.
When Liu Li and the others arrived at the funeral parlor gate, just as they were about to enter, his mobile phone rang again. He took a glance at the caller ID on the screen and pressed the answer button: "Ming Zhong, what's up?"
The voice of Wang Mingzhong, somewhat tired, came from the receiver: "Deputy Captain, after much hard work and suffering, I finally didn't disappoint my mission. I found the information about that female corpse. Where are you now? I'll go find you."
After hearing this, Liu Li hesitated for a moment. He asked Wang Mingzhong to return to the squad first and said he would arrive soon. After hanging up the phone, Liu Li looked at everyone and quickly ran back to the office area, using the lock on the office door to lock the funeral parlor's door shut.
"I have an urgent matter, I need to go back to the unit first, and then we'll continue with the footprint comparison. Manager Yang, please take note of the style, sole pattern, color, and model of the shoes of these five people later, in case they change their shoes after they leave."
