Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 4 Women's High Heels
"Same as always, let's go through these first." Chen Shu handed the case memo he had just written in the car to Zhu Chaoran, then opened the car door and got out, turning back to instruct, "Tell the brothers to be serious and hurry up."

The handwriting on the case memorandum was flowing and clear, with each paragraph neat and legible. It read: [The following is a list of the text, which is not translated here.]

1. Investigate the identity information and background materials of Zhao Hu and Liu Yan, especially their company address and home address;

2. Investigate the mobile phone numbers of the kidnappers, Zhao Hu, and Liu Yan, apply for a communications investigation permit, and retrieve the registration materials from the telecommunications company;
"Understood." Zhu Chaoran took the memo and placed it on the passenger seat.

Knowing Chen Shu's personality, after agreeing, he immediately drove his car to the side of the road and parked it not far away. He sat in the car and began to review the memo, going through it in his mind first, and then contacted people one by one to arrange the work.

After getting out of the car, Chen Shu did not rush to begin the on-site investigation.

He squinted, looking around carefully at Tianjia Garden, the surrounding flowers, trees, people, cars, shops, roads, and even the sky, glancing up at it every now and then. There wasn't even a single bird or cloud in sight.

Tianjia Garden is located on Yanjiang Road, north of Dongzhou City, at No. 230 Hebin Road. It is adjacent to a large riverside park to the west, only two kilometers from the expressway exit to the east, and faces Yong'an County across the river.

The residential complex was completed in 2006. Due to its age, there are very few parking spaces in the complex, which cannot meet the daily parking needs of the residents.

However, due to its excellent geographical location and the fact that there are very few residential communities along the river for more than ten kilometers in the city, its housing prices have remained high.

Standing on the sidewalk, Chen Shu looked at the gate of Tianjia Garden Community across the street, walked back and forth a few steps slowly, composed himself, and felt full of confidence.

Calming himself down, he looked around. The scorching sun had left the road deserted.

He headed straight for the hostage's vehicle, and even among the roadside lined with all sorts of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi cars, the Lamborghini still stood out conspicuously.

Standing next to the car, I circled it around and found nothing unusual except for a minor collision mark on the front of the car.
Looking down from the stone blocks and benches by the roadside, there was nothing unusual;
Lying on the ground, enduring the intense heat, he slowly turned his head to look around.

Suddenly, a red high-heeled shoe appeared in his line of sight, lying quietly on its side under a white sedan not far away. The brand was...
At this moment, Chen Shu, who was supporting himself with his hands on the ground, felt that the whole world had shrunk to just that little bit of red in front of him.

He completely forgot about the heat and discomfort he had just experienced, and even unconsciously pressed his cheeks tightly against the ground in order to see the brand logo on the sole of the shoe as soon as possible.

The brand is LV!
He carefully took out his phone and took a series of photos, including close-ups, long-distance shots, shots from different angles, and panoramic shots, all centered on the women's shoes. Then he took out the white gloves he always carried with him, put them on, and slowly lifted the women's shoes from under the car. Looking at the shoes in his hands, he nervously rubbed the surface of the insole and sole with his fingers.

The bottom of the shoe facing the road wasn't very dusty, and the insole facing the curb had only a tiny bit of dust! He quickly took out a transparent evidence bag and put the woman's shoe inside.

At that moment, Chen Shu grinned without any restraint.

This matches the hostage Liu Yan's attire in the photo, which is entirely made up of luxury brands! The shoes are very new, not like they were abandoned! And the minimal dust indicates that the shoes were not left on the ground for very long!

Therefore, without a doubt, these shoes belong to Liu Yan!

Chen Shu stood up, holding the women's shoes. He first raised his gaze and then carefully looked around again, searching for surveillance equipment. As expected, there was none.

However, having confirmed the location of the crime, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his mind was still racing.

The crime scene was about three meters away from the Lamborghini, which remained parked in its spot. This indicates that the kidnappers had definitely been staking out the area for several days and recognized both the car and the person!
Having solved the space problem, the next issue is time.

So when exactly did the incident occur?
Was Liu Yan kidnapped when she was about to get on the bus to leave home, or when she got off the bus to go home?
According to Zhao Hu's statement, the Lamborghini was parked where Liu Yan parked her car.

However, parking spaces on the street will be immediately occupied by other cars once the car that was parked there is driven away, especially in areas with large residential areas nearby, where it is impossible to wait for someone to park the car back.

Unless Liu Yan decides to take a taxi at the last minute, or happens to find an empty parking space when she drives home. Both possibilities exist, although the probability is extremely low, but it still needs to be verified.

With little time remaining, the investigation can only proceed in the direction of the highest probability, starting with the areas where the likelihood is greatest.

Chen Shu weighed the conspicuous red women's high heels in his hand and walked quickly toward the Santana parked not far away.
