Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 903 Footprints

The    serial murder case has come to an end, and there is no need for the police who have not built the bridge to stay here. At about 8:00 in the morning, when Lu Jieyi and Lu Shoucai were about to go out, there was a knock on the door.

   "Who would it be?" Lu Jieyi asked.

  Lu Shoucai shook his head, walked to the door, and looked through the cat's eyes.

   "Oh, it's the police," Lu Shoucai hurriedly opened the door, "I almost forgot, there are people from the police station upstairs."

   "Ah, I forgot too."

  The door opened, and there were three neatly dressed policemen standing outside.

   "Mr. Lu, have you received a notice from our police station?" the policeman in the middle asked.

   "Yes, yes, it's really bothering you these days," Lu Shoucai was full of gratitude, "Thanks to the people's police, this case can be ended so quickly."

   "Thank you for your trust," the policeman smiled implicitly, "If there is no other situation, our team is ready to withdraw from the bridge and lose the building now."

   "Just in time, we are going to the police station to make the last record," Lu Shoucai said, "Comrade police, you can take my car."

   "No need, we still have comrades upstairs to check the equipment, it is estimated that it will take a few more minutes."

   "It's okay, we can wait." Lu Shoucai's attitude was very sincere.

  Lu Jieyi also nodded vigorously.

   "Thank you..."

   Before the police finished speaking, the walkie-talkie hanging on his waist suddenly rang, and a series of vague voices came out of it. Lu Jieyi and Lu Shoucai looked at each other, obviously they didn't understand.

   "Out... what happened?" Lu Jieyi asked timidly.

   The policeman frowned and quickly pulled out the walkie-talkie around his waist, "What floor is there?"

   Another sound came from the walkie-talkie, and this time they all heard it clearly.

   "Eighth floor."

  The eighth floor?

   "That's..." Wen Ling grabbed Qin Yin's sleeve.

   "Yes," Qin Yin went with her after thinking about it, "the eighth floor is where Lu Shoucai secretly raised that little baby."

   Lu Shoucai obviously also thought of this. After hearing it clearly, his expression suddenly changed.

   "Mr. Lu, something seems to have happened on the eighth floor," the policeman put down the walkie-talkie and said to Lu Shoucai, "Is the eighth floor a hotel? Are there any problems with the hotel guests?"

"I... I don't know," Lu Shoucai quickly covered the panic in his eyes and asked, "But I can go upstairs with you to check, if it's a problem with our hotel, I can deal with it in time. a bit."

   "Alright." The policeman nodded.

   "Yiyi, Dad go upstairs to see, you are waiting for me at home."

   "Can I go up and take a look?" Lu Jieyi grabbed the corner of his father's shirt.

   "Be obedient," Lu Shoucai patted his daughter on the shoulder, "Dad will be back in a while."

   Qin Yin and Wen Ling followed in tacit understanding. When the two passed by Lu Jieyi, they turned their heads to look at the pouting girl. Lu Jieyi looked at his father's back and closed the door silently.

  Lu Shoucai walked beside the police, trying his best to suppress his worries and anxieties.

   "I don't know what's going on," Lu Shoucai smiled dryly, "If it's a strange guest, then our hotel staff will have a headache for a while."

   The policeman returned a polite smile, "Fortunately, the case is over, it shouldn't be a big problem, you don't need to panic too much."

   "Oh, we're in business, we don't have to worry about it," Lu Shoucai sighed, "Any little thing has an impact on the market."

   "Your business is so big, it shouldn't be affected so easily," the policeman said. "I think the hotel's passenger flow is still good these days, and it doesn't seem to have decreased because of this incident."

   "That's...that's..." Lu Shoucai said, "It must be because everyone is guarding here, providing everyone with a full sense of security."

   The two sides complimented each other like this. After a while, the elevator stopped on the eighth floor, the elevator door slowly opened, and the smile on Lu Shoucai's face gradually disappeared.

   The elevator door is fully open, and there is nothing outside the door.

  Lu Shoucai let out a light breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked out of the elevator first, looking alertly to the corridors on the left and right.

  The corridor was also completely empty, with no guests, no policemen, and even that little baby.

   The policeman said to the walkie-talkie just now, "We have reached the eighth floor, where is the exact location?"

   There was a bang at the end of the corridor, the door to the stairwell opened, and a policeman came out and waved in their direction.

"It seems that the problem is in that stairwell," Qin Yin said as he followed the crowd, "could they really find the child? I don't know how Comrade Lu will explain it... "

   The chubby Lu Shoucai actually ran at the front. He stretched his neck, as if he wanted his eyes to go over first to see what happened.

   "What happened? Can't you talk on the walkie-talkie?"

   "Captain, come and have a look," the little policeman pushed open the door of the stairwell and pointed to the ground. "There are a series of footprints here."

   On the steps leading to the seventh floor from the eighth floor, there are indeed a few shallow footprints, and the footprints are very unclear. Thanks to the sunlight pouring in from the window, everyone can vaguely identify one or two.

   "What's the matter?" The police captain frowned and looked at the footprints, then looked up and asked, "Apart from the footprints, is there anything else?"

   The little police officer's face stiffened, "Report, no... no more."

   "What's wrong with this footprint?" The police captain was a little dissatisfied.

   "Captain, this footprint may have been left by the murderer," said the little police officer.

   "Murderer?" The captain narrowed his eyes, "You mean a serial murder case?"

   "Yes." The little policeman nodded.

   "How do you know that this footprint was left by him?" the captain asked.

"I extracted the footprints left by the murderer on the first floor, so I am very familiar with the footprints of the murderer," the little police officer said with confidence, "I can basically confirm that these footprints are similar to the footprints extracted downstairs. very high.”

  Lu Shoucai looked blank. Although this matter was not what he was worried about, it was also a question that made people confused.

   "Isn't the case over yet?" Lu Shoucai looked at the little police officer and then at the captain, "Comrade police officer, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, the murderer is definitely dead and there will be no more threats," the captain reassured, "but since our police officers have raised the issue of footprints, it is necessary for us to conduct some investigations here, if the footprints are really the murderer left, then we need to reconsider the killer's path of action."

   "Meaning, the murderer may have come to the eighth floor?" Lu Shoucai asked.

Captain    nodded, "Yes, there may be a certain population here, or there are other possibilities. In short, the result will be obtained after the investigation."
