Fifteen years have passed, and the lush woods that were back then have a bit more gloomy now.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and a few bright yellow leaves of Lucidum spiraled and fell on the ground that had long been covered by weed leaves.

Walking in it, it seemed like walking in a forest that was rarely visited. When I thought about it, maybe Xi Ruxiang's unjust soul appeared here, and the air around me instantly became a little colder, adding a little weirdness.

Even though I know that this place is not far from the residential area, if it is really dark and windy, even if someone enters together, it may be furious and creepy.

"I'll go, this place is really weird!"

Zhang Lei looked around and gritted his teeth and said, "If that director was shooting a ghost movie here, he would never have to set up the scene. He would just pull a piece of white bed sheet and float in the woods. It would be very likely that he would be shocked in broad daylight."

"People's fear comes more from their own imagination."

Xiao Ran sneered: "If you don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and if you don't scare yourself, what's there to be afraid of?"

Suddenly, Li Fangfang stopped, stared at a tree trunk not far away, and said very seriously. "Hey, there seems to be a white bed sheet hanging on the branches in front."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei suddenly looked up and looked at a corner of white cloth behind a thick tree trunk ten meters away. From time to time, it was blown up by the wind and then hid behind the tree trunk.

"No, is this place so weird? You can come whatever you say!" Zhang Lei said with a grin.

"Let's go and take a look."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but think, who would hang a piece of white cloth in this woods? Is it just for the sake of evil taste and to scare people, or is it for some other purpose?

"By the way, the place where Xi Ruxiang's head was discovered was in the concave surface in front of this tree."

"Look at the white cloth, it's quite clean and can be blown up by the wind."

Zhang Lei's expression gradually became serious, and he said as he walked: "These days are rainy and rainy, so it must have been hanging here for not long."

"Can someone also pursue the old case of that year..."

Before Li Fangfang finished speaking, Xiao Ran suddenly opened his hands and blocked the two of them from stepping forward.

Li Fangfang was startled by Xiao Ran and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

"footprint!"

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and stared at the location of the bed sheet containing the money and shuangshuang's body fifteen years ago.

I saw several footprints appearing faintly on the dead branches and leaves on that land.

If you look closely, you can vaguely tell that these footprints are coming from the north, walking up the earth slope, coming under the big tree, then walking around the tree, and then walking south down the earth slope.

"It's not that the suspect from that year who heard about the recent old case and came here to remember the years and relive the pleasure of committing the crime?"

Li Fangfang immediately said: "Some perverted killers like to return to the scene. Could it be that the murderer of the past revisited the old place, and then hung the white quilt on the dead branches behind the tree... Oh, it's pajamas, not a sheet!"

“It’s not impossible.”

Xiao Ran squatted down and said, "But it is also very likely that ordinary people were curious about passing by here.

People have a curious mindset. Let’s take a look at the scene of the murder and make some bad arrangements. It is also very likely... Lei Zi, have you brought the tools?"

Zhang Lei patted his bag, took out a UV flashlight and a steel ruler, and said happily: "Fortunately, I am dedicated and loving my job and always prepared! Although the small flashlight is not as good as the large ultraviolet inspection light in the team, it is enough... It's a pity that there are no SLRs."

"There's no way, let's take a photo with your phone first. I hope my Leica lens can indeed produce a SLR effect."

Xiao Ran thought for a while and said, "Brother, you can use your mobile phone to record the video and take my phone in. After that, I will leave my phone to you to keep it. Before the photo is released, you must make sure that the electronic photos taken have not been modified technically."

"OK."

Li Fangfang opened his phone and joked: "We attach so much importance to it, I hope that the footprints were not left by that guy who was curious about sneaking over and leaving behind."

"Ha, no suspicious thing can be missed."

Zhang Lei turned on the UV flashlight, squatted on the ground and smiled, "No matter who left him, if it was really left by the murderer back then, then we will be lucky. Deputy Director Shi would also have to buy us a week's food as a reward!"

"Don't think it's beautiful. Even if it's really the murderer left behind, it's still a thousand miles away from finding someone!"

Li Fangfang held up his cell phone and joked: "Click on the traces quickly, you will have to go back to write a report after finishing it!"

"Can you not mention the report? I've just relaxed for a while."

Zhang Lei muttered, took out his gloves and put them on, held up the flashlight to shine the subtle footprints, and placed the steel ruler on the side: "The footprints are relatively large in length and width, and the length is about 27.5 cm. The footprints seem to be in the balance period, but they are vaguely heavier."

"Generally speaking, the younger you are, the heavier you are, and the older you are, the heavier you are."

Xiao Ran took several photos carefully, and followed Zhang Lei to another footprint to take photos: "So this person should be in middle age, about 38 years old, with wide footprints. It is judged that the person who leaves the footprints should be a male. Subtract the length of the shoes, according to convention, his height is between 1.77 and 1.82 meters."

"About 38 years old?"

Li Fangfang held up his cell phone and suddenly said, "Xi Ruxiang was twenty-two years old when she was killed. If she had lived to this day, she would have been thirty-seven years old.

If this person is related to Xi Ruxiang's case back then, he and Xi Ruxiang are peers, and Xi Ruxiang hurriedly packed his luggage from the employee dormitory before being killed... Then he is probably someone Xi Ruxiang knows!"

"It's possible, but if the owner of this footprint has nothing to do with Xi Ruxiang, then you're wasted."

Zhang Lei said with a smile, and placed the steel rulers one by one next to several left footprints, his face pressed against the ground, and observed for a while under the ultraviolet light: "The left footprint and the right footprint are basically the same size.

However, judging from the slight depression on the leaves on the ground, the left foot is heavier... It should be carrying or carrying something on the left shoulder."

The three of them walked and stopped and found out that the footprints came from the bottom of the soil slope, all the way to the south of the soil slope, and finally disappeared on the piled concrete.

Then the three of them returned to the tree and followed their footprints.

On the west side of the tree trunk, the footprints changed from parallel to the tree trunk to perpendicular to the tree trunk. From this, it is inferred that the person who hung this white pajama on the tree trunk should be the same person.

"The height of this broken branch is about 1.8 meters tall, and ordinary people can reach it with just a raising their hand." Li Fangfang carefully took all the pictures.

"The footprints are relatively fresh. The soil brought from the slope is still very wet and has no dispersion. It should have been left between last night and early morning today."

Zhang Lei judged cautiously: "Overall, this person should have walked from the riverside, walked around the big tree for half a circle, hung his white pajamas, and then left.

...It's a big night, he's so brave when he comes here alone!"

"Didn't the murderer from that year come tonight?"

Xiao Ran took a deep breath, looking at the clean and slightly swaying white pajamas in front of him, and couldn't help but have a moment of thought.
