Chapter 14 Provocation
At 7:30 in the morning, Lin Wenjue and others stepped into the task force office one after another and kindly shared their breakfast with Chi Xia.
"Xiao Xia, did you not sleep well last night?" Lin Wenjue asked Chi Xia with some concern.
Cao Bin and Juanmao's eyes immediately turned to her.
Chi Xia was just about to speak when Luo Xun walked in with a towel hanging on his shoulder and a paper cup in his hand with a toothbrush and toothpaste in it.
"Lao Lin, is there anything to eat?"
Lin Wenjue quickly handed him the tofu pudding and buns in his hand: "Here, the same as always."
Tofu brain, xiaolongbao.
Then Luo Xun stuffed the paper cup and towel in his hand into Chi Xia's hand: "Turn left at the end of the corridor, the washroom."
"Thank you, Captain Luo."
Chi Xia left the office amid everyone's surprised gazes. Looking at the things in his hand, he couldn't help laughing.
In the task force office, as soon as Chi Xia left, Lin Wenjue and the others came up to her and asked, "What's going on? Did you force Chi Xia, a girl, to work overtime last night?"
Lin Wenjue sighed instantly: "I say, Lao Luo, no matter what, Chi Xia is still a girl, and we, as grown men, can't bully others like this, right? You don't look like someone who would do such a thing!"
In the blink of an eye, Luo Xun raised his head and put the remaining tofu pudding into his mouth, then took out a tissue to wipe his mouth: "What are you talking about?"
"Then what did you give Chi Xia those things for?" Lin Wenjue asked.
Luo Xun stood up and said, "Officer Chi took me to investigate a case last night, and then she asked to go back to the police station. I asked her to go wash her face out of kindness. Is that wrong?"
Cao Bin and Juanmao expressed their disbelief.
Lin Wenjue looked at his good partner.
"Really? I don't believe it. It must be you who bullied Chi Xia."
Captain Luo rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Alright, alright, I'm bullying her, alright? It's already this late. Curly, get to work. Check that exhibition hall for my entire ancestry."
After he finished speaking, he patted Lin Wenjue on the shoulder and said, "Get ready, let's go too."
Just then, Chi Xia came back from washing up. Seeing that the atmosphere in the office was not right, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Um...what happened?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Lin Wenjue smiled and said, "Chi Xia, let Cao Bin guide you today. If you have any questions, just ask him."
Cao Bin patted his chest and said, "Yes, just ask me."
Luo Xun sneered: "Humph, who knows who will ask who, our Officer Chi is very powerful."
Chi Xia pretended not to understand what he said and smiled brightly : "Thank you Captain Luo for the compliment."
She had just washed her face, and there were still water droplets on the hair on her forehead. Luo Xun actually saw a hint of provocation on her face.
"Okay, get to work. Keep in touch if anything happens."
Luo Xun picked up the coat on the table: "Lao Lin, let's go."
The jeep sped out of the police station. Lin Wenjue grabbed the handle of the jeep and said, "Did you take any drugs today?"
Luo Xun snorted coldly and squinted his eyes at him: "Lin Wenjue, we agreed that one of us would play the good cop and the other the bad cop, but we didn't agree that you would lose face for me."
Lin Wenjue was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and immediately laughed: "You are talking about Chi Xia."
Luo Xun was too lazy to reply him.
"Chi Xia is different."
Lin Wenjue said: "Old Luo, didn't you notice that she is very smart and has a sharp eye?"
"But what is the task force?"
Luo Xun's voice became serious: "I won't talk about myself first, but about you and Lao Cao. What injuries do you have on your bodies? Do you need me to remind you of these things? Chi Xia, you also saw that her two arms added together are not as thick as my wrist."
"It's not that exaggerated. You can't look down on a girl... Hey, that's not right..."
Lin Wenjue suddenly stopped and stared at Luo Xun sideways: "You admired Lin Cuo from Qincheng's serious crime squad, didn't you? Why do you look down on one of our own?"
Luo Xun glared at him and said, "There are only a few people who can make the same mistake as Lin in the entire police system. Officer Lin, can we stop being so fanciful?"
Lin Wenjue disagreed with him: "Maybe, I think our Chi Xia is pretty good."
Luo Xun shuddered and was too lazy to talk to him anymore. It had only been a short while, and he was already "our Chi Xia"? How hypocritical!
…
Task force, Curly put on his glasses, rubbed his hands, took a long breath, and resolutely entered his working state.
Cao Bin and Chi Xia both looked a little worried when facing the video that was like a vast ocean.
"Brother Cao, let's each take half."
Chi Xia spoke first: "To make sure nothing is missed, let's exchange them one last time."
Although Cao Bin had no objection, he still looked ready to die: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Chi Xia couldn't help laughing. If one watched the surveillance video out of curiosity and gossip, it would be extremely interesting. However, if one wanted to find one or two people among the numerous surveillance videos, it would be nothing short of torture to the body and mind.
Oh, and eyes.
Cao Bin took out two bottles of eye drops from his pocket and solemnly handed one of them to Chi Xia: "Xia, come on!"
Curly looked over and reminded him: "Brother Cao, you have done a good job of preparation. You can start now. I will help you when I am done here."
Chi Xia tore open the eye drops package, tilted his head back and put two drops of eye drops in, then made a cheering gesture towards Cao Bin: "Brother Cao, let's go for it."
The first thing Chi Xia had to do was to observe the daily life videos of the three victims to find out their characteristics, and then he could better find the disguised victims in other surveillance.
I have to say, watching surveillance videos is really boring and... tiring for the eyes.
From the surveillance footage, Chi Xia was able to confirm that Zhang Wen, Lin Wei, and Chen Li had regular but boring daily lives: home, work, and the nearest supermarket. It was an extremely regular routine.
Chi Xia suddenly thought of something, leaned his head forward and pressed the pause button.
Cao Bin looked over and said, "Xiao Xia, if you are tired, you can take a rest."
"No." Chi Xia frowned slightly: "Brother Cao, come here."
Cao Bin's face changed: "What did you find?"
"It is true that the patterns reflected in our walking habits form our gait patterns."
Chi Xia picked up a piece of paper and drew a pen at random: "People's motor limbs and motor organs are more or less different in structure and function, and the dynamic stereotypes of the cerebral cortex that control our walking movements also have such differences. This means that everyone's walking habits are different, which will be reflected in the characteristics of the footsteps in the footprints."
Cao Bin was startled, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You mean, to find the disguised victim through gait information!"
"yes."
Chi Xia said: "People's makeup and clothes can change, but their gait will not change in a short time."
Cao Bin slapped his face and said, "Xiao Xia, you are such a lucky star!"
Chi Xia smiled and continued, "I know that Chen Li's father was a soldier before, so Chen Li inherited . Watch the video."
She clicked on a surveillance video of Chen Li and played it repeatedly: "When Chen Li walked, the muscles in the back of her thigh exerted force, and the back of her heel hit the ground along the lower back. Usually this kind of gait leaves traces of knocks, and the heel position will leave traces with neat edges."
"Moreover, she walks with her body upright and her arms swinging back and forth. This walking posture is usually seen in people who have received military training. Chen Li has been practicing military posture with her father since she was a child."
The video from the surveillance camera showed that what Chi Xia said was true.
"What about Zhang Wen and Lin Wei?"
Cao Bin became interested and moved a chair over: "Xia, tell me quickly."
Chi Xia laughed and played the surveillance footage of Zhang Wen .
"Zhang Wen is easier to identify. When she walks, her soles are parallel to the ground, the inside of her heels touch the ground first, and her feet push inward and forward. People like her usually have inward-protruding knees, their legs are widely separated when they walk, and they sway from side to side when they walk."
Cao Bin stared at the video blankly, then looked down at the few key words Chi Xia had written on the paper, as well as the figures she had drawn with just a few strokes.
He looked at Chi Xia blankly: "Xia, what about Lin Wei?"
