Chapter 7 Footprints and Fingerprints

Comrade Xia also asked Yi Zhonghai curiously, "Comrade Yi, let me ask you one last time, did you see He Daqing leave with the widow?"

Comrade Xia's expression was stern at this time, and his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of interrogation.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at He Yuzhu with resentment, but He Yuzhu would not have noticed it if he hadn't been staring at him out of the corner of his eye.

Yi Zhonghai calmed down and said, "Comrade, this matter has been circulating for a long time. Everyone in the hospital who knows He Daqing knows that He Daqing is having an affair with a widow.

The word that the widow spread was that He Daqing had to go to Baoding with her.

I'm not the only one who knows about this. Lao Liu, Lao Xu, you've also heard about it, right? "

Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui thought for a moment and nodded.

Yi Zhonghai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two of them nodded, otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to explain himself.

He Yuzhu was not disappointed, and he had no intention of dealing with Yi Zhonghai today.

In fact, He Yuzhu had complicated feelings towards Yi Zhonghai. This elder was really kind to him, but he was also the one who cheated him the most.

It’s not entirely true to say that He Yuzhu hates Yi Zhonghai, as he does have a hint of respect for his elders.

In the end it's just blurry and unclear.

Furthermore, if Yi Zhonghai is to be moved, many people will be involved.

The Yi couple took care of their own rainwater, and this was something that everyone in the alley knew.

If they really want to deal with Yi Zhonghai now because of this matter, then they and their brother will never be able to get along well with anyone in the Siheyuan in the future.

What's more, there is still an old lady who hasn't come out yet.

He Yuzhu said sternly, "Comrade Xia, what Uncle Yi said should be true. My father has always had a good relationship with him and they always drink together. It's normal for him to tell Uncle Yi about his thoughts."

Yi Zhonghai was very upset by this and said that He Yuzhu had spoken for him after others had explained it.

Say He Yuzhu is ungrateful, He Yuzhu explained it to him.

At this moment, the person who entered the He family to search came up to Comrade Xia with a few pieces of white paper with graffiti on them and whispered something in his ear.

He Yuzhu was closer to Comrade Xia, and he saw that they were clearly handprints and footprints. Comrade Xia asked Luo Qiaoyun, "Comrade, what size are your feet?"

"Seven inches," Luo Qiaoyun said timidly.

Comrade Xia flipped through the paper in his hand and muttered, "Seven inches should be 36 yards, so that should be this one."

Comrade Xia whispered something to the comrade next to him, and the comrade next to him also whispered back. Comrade Xia kept nodding and shaking his head, then thought for a while and asked He Yuzhu, "What size is your father?"

He Yuzhu actually knew this, because after the old man from his previous life came back, he liked to wear his old cloth shoes, which were neither too big nor too small, just the right size.

He Yuzhu's own feet are size 42, so He Yuzhu blurted out, "Size 43."

This time, Comrade Xia flipped the papers much faster.

With two cards left in his hand, Comrade Xia coughed and asked, "Now let me ask you again, has anyone entered He Daqing's room since yesterday?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Comrade Xia saw this and said directly: "Then everyone please help and measure the footprints.

In the kitchen of the He family, and on the bed sheet that fell on the floor, a total of five footprints were found, one of which belonged to a child, which should be Comrade He Yuzhu's sister, and the other two were from Comrade Luo and He Daqing. This meant that yesterday, in addition to the He family father and daughter and Comrade Luo, two other people had gone in.

One of these two people, according to everyone, may be the widow, so who is the other one? The kidnapper or the thief? "

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Jia's house. He Yuzhu also looked over and saw a figure in a black cotton jacket hiding in Jia's house. He Yuzhu knew what was going on and raised the rain to block Yi Zhonghai's direction. He whispered, "Someone has hidden in the house on the left."

Upon hearing this, Comrade Xia gave a few more instructions to the comrades around him.

The young comrades immediately rushed into the Jia family and pushed Jia Zhang out.

Jia Zhang wanted to resist, but looking at the spear on the young comrade's shoulder, she could only sit down at the door and cry.

At that time, the army had only entered the city a few years ago, and ordinary people did not understand anything and still viewed the world with the old perspective from before liberation.

The young man said, "Report, this woman comrade just changed her shoes secretly inside, this is what she took off."

After saying that, the young man raised a cloth shoe in his hand and gestured.

Everyone looked in the direction of Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi tried to cover her feet, but it only made them more obvious.

Everyone could tell with the naked eye that it was a pair of work shoes from a steel mill, and they were obviously two sizes too large.

Comrade Xia saw what was meant and pointed at Jia Zhang and shouted, "Take this man away."

The good old man Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Comrade, comrade, this is the resident of this house, and he probably doesn't have much knowledge.

Besides, it hasn’t been confirmed yet. Even if the size of the footsteps is confirmed, it doesn’t mean that she was the one who went in.

Many people have the same foot size, right? Don’t you think so? "

It was the first time that He Yuzhu saw Yi Zhonghai defend Jia Zhang so much, and he was shocked.

Comrade Xia asked curiously, "Who said I should identify this woman based on her footsteps?

Don't you know that human fingerprints are unique? We have a trace expert who is here for training. The same person's fingerprints are left on the cabinets and boxes in the He family. If we go back and compare them, we will know whether this woman has entered the He family. "

The concept of fingerprints was not invented in later generations. There are records of this in the "Yunmeng Bamboo Slips" during the Warring States Period, and there were systematic records in this regard in the Song Dynasty.

Let me just say one thing. There has been the concept of signing and sealing since ancient times. If it cannot be distinguished, what is the use of the signature?

However, the collection and comparison of fingerprints has always been a big problem, so this method of investigating crimes was not known to the public until the advent of computers.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was close to Jia Zhang subconsciously took a few steps away.

One was because he was afraid of getting into trouble, and the other was because Jia Zhang was so scared when she heard this.

The smell of urine made everyone nearby cover their mouths and noses subconsciously.

At this moment, everyone was pointing fingers at Jia Zhang again.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale, but he tried to explain: "Jia Zhang has always had a good relationship with the He family. Maybe she cleaned the room for He Daqing in the past."

"Well, Jia Zhang is also a widow. He Daqing is seeking the faraway goal instead of the near one!" The onlookers saw that the truth had been found out, and since it was none of their business, some of them started to make fun of it.

"Silly Zhu, Zhuzi, say something!" Yi Zhonghai yelled at He Yuzhu.
