Chapter 216: Crime committed by acquaintances.
"What? You said the person who poisoned the cows came to my house!" Tian Cui'e was surprised.
Zhao Yu Sheng also came to see the footprint lying on the ground, crouched down to check the shoe print, and took out his cell phone to compare it with the footprint left by the suspect and recorded it on his phone, and couldn't help but glance admiringly at Han Bin, saying: "Yo, it's really the same print as the shoe prints left by the suspect at the crime scene."
In the backyard of Qian Jin Feng's house, there were no bricks in the yard, there was just a dirt road between the one-meter fence and the house. There was a lot of mess in that backyard. It was very difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the suspect's shoe print from the set of prints lying on the ground.
"Didn't the suspect throw poison in the grass, why did he come to my house?" Tian Cui'e looked worried and asked Zhao Yu Sheng, who was next to her: "Director Zhao; would this suspect want to harm me? Let's go home."
"Don't be nervous, it's possible the shoes are the same, so it's not necessarily the suspect." Zhao Yu Sheng comforted.
"People have different body structures and different walking postures. Even if they wear the same shoes, the shoeprints they leave will be different. I am sure and certain that this shoeprint is left by the suspect, Han Bin said sternly.
"What can I do? Will you release my old man? What if this suspect still hurts me? I can't fight him alone as a woman," Tian Cui'e said on the occasion.
"Don't worry, just remember who came to your house these days?" Han Bin asked.
Tian Cui'e shook her head and sighed: "Hey, my cows were poisoned to death. People in the village heard about it, and many people came to watch the party. I was also anxious these days, and I can't remember who came in this mess."
"It seems that an acquaintance of yours who came to see you has the greatest possibility of committing the crime of poisoning your cows." Li Hui guessed.
"When you think of a person, use a notebook to jot down the person, especially a middle-aged man in his 40s, whose height is around 175cm," Han Bin said.
"You mean the person who poisoned my cow was a man around 40 years old and 175cm tall?" Tian Cui'e asked.
"Although it's not absolute, it's very likely," Han Bin said.
Tian Cui'e wondered, "How did you know that?"
"I know a little about fingerprint identification."
"Just by looking at the shoe prints? It's amazing. The shoe prints can tell you how old the person is," Tian Cui'e was a little incredulous.
"People's ages vary, and the way of walking will also change. Comprehensive analysis is performed based on foot shape, stride characteristics, and gait characteristics, including step angle, the width of the step, the length of the step, and the weight of the kick; the indentation, and the marks of the lifting of the foot. After a series of analyses and comparison of data, the approximate age of the suspect can be obtained," said explained Han Bin.
However, everyone was still lost except for Li Hui who had seen Han Bin's footprint identification abilities, and he was very confident in him. He smiled and said: "Since our team leader said he is a middle-aged man of about forty years old, that must be not wrong."
"Can you explain it more simply, I'm a little confused when I hear it," Zhao Yu Sheng said.
After all, Zhao Yu Sheng is a deputy director, and he doesn't blindly obey a police officer below his rank. According to what he learned during his years of work, to solve a case, you have to rely on evidence. Moreover, he and Han Bin met for the first time and he was unable to believe what the other party was saying.
If other people asked Han Bin to explain better what he just said, he may not explain but in this situation Zhao Yu Sheng's case was different. He was unfamiliar with this place and needed the other party's help to handle the matter, so he began explaining: "The simplest judgment method is the indentation judgment method. The indentation is closely related to sex, age, height, posture, etc.," pointing to the ground with his finger: "The forefoot pressure of this shoe indentation is facing outwards and moves backward, the footprint is lighter in the front and heavier in the back, and lighter in and out Pressure is put on the large surface some indentation on the heel; the pitting and scratching are more evident, in my experience it is about forty years old."
"It's true." Zhao Yu Sheng still didn't understand, but he casually agreed.
Seeing what Han Bin said was so professional, he believed him 70-80%, and after all, he was a former policeman with a higher rank than Han Bin. He continued asking questions, but his face was dull.
......
"Director Zhao, can you release the old man from my family? I have no idea what will happen if I stay home alone," Tian Cui'e said.
"Don't think about the good stuff. Don't think about your old man's criminal case for a while. If you're really scared, just go to a relative for a few days and come back when the case is solved," Zhao Yu Sheng snorted.
"So when are you going to solve the case?"
"When the case is resolved, you will of course be informed."
Zhao Yu Sheng said superficially. He was not an immortal, and was not able to count the time it takes to solve the case, so, how could he tell the exact time?
"Mr. Police officer, you're from town. Please say a few words for me. The old man in my family is uneasy to control, so I can't give up on him this time. I'm ready to pay more money, could I do it?" Tian Cui'e turned on her side and said to Han Bin.
"It's good you have this idea. You can go to town and contact food poisoning victims as long as you can get their understanding and take the initiative to compensate them. When the court makes its judgment, it can help Qian Jin Feng to reduce his sentence to some extent," Han Bin said.
"I don't know any victims. Can I give you the money? You can help me with a word," Tian Cui'e said.
Han Bin smiled and refused: "I'm only responsible for handling the case and don't care about the rest."
Han Bin's family is not short of money, and his future is bright, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
"So how long will the old man in my family be kept?" Tian Cui'e asked.
"How long is the sentence for the court, and we cannot answer you."
Li Hui frowned and urged: "If you cooperate with our investigation and help us to catch the suspect who poisoned your cows as soon as possible, you may be able to get some compensation."
"Compensation?"
Tian Cui'e's face showed a hint of joy, and she hurriedly asked: "Can I really be compensated for helping catch the one who poisoned my herd? How much?"
"Don't say you have a big belly, you'll be out of breath. Let's catch the suspect who poisoned the cows first," Zhao Yu Sheng waved his hand and said impatiently:
"Hurry up and answer the questioning of these comrades, that's the most interesting thing about all these things."
Then the group entered the room, and Li Hui and Sun Xiao Peng took notes of Tian Cui'e's statement.
Tian Cui'e was in her 40s and was a good farmer, but she didn't know how to use a smartphone and had no opinion. Many of her answers were ambiguous, and after asking for a long time, Li Hui and Sun Xiao Peng have no new clues there.
However, she remembered a few people who had come to her house, there were eight names of men and women, and that was only a part, and there were some she could not remember. Some of those people who came to comfort her were her relatives and friends, and some were idlers who came to attend the feast. In her words, some villagers who didn't communicate much with them, when they learned something had happened to her house, were like greedy cats that smelled like fish.
......
After completing the transcription of Tian Cui'e's statement, the group returned to the Beixi Zhang Village Police Station.
"Team leader Han, where did you learn the fingerprint identification? It's amazing," Zhao Yu Sheng asked curiously.
"I specifically searched for relevant information. I like to read when I have nothing to do, and I have some experience," Han Bin said superficially.
"No wonder you can become the team leader of the criminal police team at a young age," praised Zhao Yu Sheng.
"You flatter me," Han Bin replied and changed the subject: "Director Zhao; since the suspect went to Qian Jin Feng's house, it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime or even a villager from this village. I think we can go further and narrow the scope of the investigation. "
"Do you have any suggestions?" Zhao Yu Sheng asked rhetorically.
"The sale of tetramine has been banned by the state. You can check from the source of its sales and radiate your research to buyers in Beixi Zhang Village," Han Bin suggested.
Han Bin was unfamiliar with Beixi Zhang Village, so it was more convenient for the local police station to investigate such things.
"No problem, I'll fix it when I get back to my office," Zhao Yu Sheng nodded.
The north of Beixi Zhang Village was not far from Xizhang Town, and it is a short drive away. When Han Bin returned to the temporary office and found Zhao Ming and Tian Li had returned. He didn't care to rest, so he said directly: "How did your investigation go?"
"We found Zhang Lei's feed store, but he just went out to get supplies and was not in the store," Tian Li said.
Li Hui poured a glass of water and gently sat down on the chair: "This boy is unafraid of crime and ran away.
"He's not tall, only about five feet tall," Tian Li said.
"Brother Bin, Zhang Lei's height does not quite match your judgment, so we believe the suspicions about him have dropped a lot," Zhao Ming shrugged.
"When will he be back?" Han Bin asked.
"We called him and he said he would be back tomorrow morning," Tian Li said.
"Tomorrow morning you are leaving again, and have to see him in person," Han Bin tapped his right index finger on the table and continued: "Most people's height and footprints conform to a certain proportion, but it's not absolute. Some people are born with large or small feet. Footprint identification can only be used as a basis for investigation, not conclusive evidence."
The more cases Han Bin encountered, the more cautious he was. Some common-sense inferences can lead the case to be misunderstood. Nothing is absolute.
It's the same sentence. Again, the evidence prevails.
