Zhao Ming even heard of this magic technique in later generations.
Well, it’s not an exaggeration to say it was thaumaturgy. It is said that a big event happened on New Year’s Eve in 1959. The Inner Mongolia Supply and Marketing Cooperative was looted.
This was considered a big case at the time. Due to the administrative methods and lack of monitoring at the time, the case fell into trouble.
Because only the footprints of two people were found at the scene, but there was no sophisticated criminal investigation technology in those days, and the prisoner could not be found at all.
But someone suggested that a herdsman named Ma should try it.
At that time, the police were still wondering who this herdsman named Ma was. It was actually recognized by many people and members of the reconnaissance team?
This Mr. Ma is actually an old man in his fifties who herds sheep in the mountains every day. He can't even write because of his extremely low level of education.
But such an ordinary old man gradually mastered a very magical method through the experience of stocking day after day.
Every day, he can accurately judge the whereabouts of the sheep just by looking at the clues on the ground, and he will master this skill over time.
But being able to be called a thaumaturgy goes beyond that. Not only can he quickly grasp the location of the sheep, but he can also clearly judge the type, number, coat color characteristics, etc. of the sheep through their footprints.
To put it simply, it requires talent, and not everyone, even a herdsman, can do it.
And it was amazing to invite this person to solve the case. With just one look, he could quickly determine the person's gender, age, and weight.
Even the walking habits were revealed accurately, and it was very easy to find the suspect's home based on the messy footprints that were trampled by others along the way.
And because of this, Mr. Ma became famous instantly.
Later, he became a non-staff police officer and began to learn criminal investigation knowledge. It is said that he later mastered the ability to draw a portrait of a suspect through the side of his footprints.
Why does Zhao Ming know this legendary experience?
Of course, it's not that Zhao Ming likes to dig into some gossip, but he saw it through Yang Ma.
The protagonist of the report is not Mr. Ma, but a woman named Dong.
This man is also a strange person. He can be called the domestic version of a famous young detective. He solved an arson case of more than 5,000 kilograms of grain in Inner Mongolia at the age of sixteen.
There was a heavy stampede at the scene and the footprints could not be collected as evidence. Several days of exploration yielded nothing.
But then Ms. Dong took action and accurately pointed out that the suspect was a man, about 45 years old, who was accustomed to wearing a pair of big-toed shoes, about 18cm tall, bow-legged and slightly hunched.
When burning, face the scene and throw the kerosene into the crime scene like a discus.
Until the suspect was arrested, everyone was shocked because the perpetrator was exactly what Ms. Dong said.
And I actually found a pair of big-toe shoes at the other party’s house.
This person can be regarded as a son who inherited his father's legacy. His father was also a master of tracking and was good at code tracking.
More than 1,500 cases were solved one after another. Later, the Yingjiang police even wanted to invite her to serve as an expert to improve their criminal investigation capabilities.
Many experts at home and abroad want to become his disciples, which can be said to be very prestigious.
This was indeed true, and Zhao Ming knew very well that he remembered it correctly.
At that time, many programs reported on this heroine.
Well, she is known as the Footprint Woman, and many of her cases are incorporated into the system to serve as teaching materials, which shows how powerful this technology is.
Of course, Zhao Ming needs this kind of talent to prevent problems before they happen.
The grasslands are unfamiliar places, especially Outer Mongolia. Asking for some information rashly will inevitably make the nearby people in Outer Mongolia suspicious.
With the talent of code tracking, Zhao Ming can allow such talents to accurately judge the freshness of horseshoes on nearby roads, and thus infer the time when the other party left.
Avoid unnecessary troubles as much as possible.
If you get close to that mine later, if the Russians have footprints nearby, you can also deduce the trajectory of the other party's activities.
It is best to find out all the other person's movements while having as little contact with outsiders as possible. This is very important.
Once the situation of our group of people entering Outer Mongolia is exposed, and the troops of the reinforced firepower battalion are prepared, then this trip will really be in vain.
To be honest, Zhao Ming is quite envious of this ability.
In fact, after touching corpses so many times, I have also mastered a certain amount of prairie people's tracking ability, but so far I have not met a master who is extremely good at code tracking.
Without touching this kind of corpse, his skills would naturally be barely better than those of ordinary herdsmen, and his judgment of direction would be more accurate than those of ordinary herdsmen.
"Master Zhao, brothers, one hundred brothers have already set off on two horses a day early. Shall we set off tomorrow?" Wang Er nodded and asked again.
"Yeah! Let's leave tomorrow!"
Zhao Ming nodded, this time the focus was on word speed! Sufficient preparation must be made for this. It is impossible to carry too many supplies.
For this reason, Zhao Ming could only arrange in advance for a team of 100 herdsmen to set off first, riding two horses to rest and wait at a location a hundred kilometers away.
Then they will wait for the subsequent main force to hand over the horses.
At that time, this group of herdsmen will ride back on the replacement horses slowly.
Although I can only replace part of it, it is barely enough.
In the case of such a long-distance attack, it is best to save horsepower as much as possible.
However, excessive saving of horsepower will affect efficiency, so we can only make a little preparation at the beginning, and then start to use newly replaced horses to carry more supplies.
Let those long-tired horses carry only one person and travel lightly.
Then exchange the burden ratio of supplies with each other to prevent the horses from losing too much energy as much as possible.
That is to say, the situation did not allow it, otherwise Zhao Ming would definitely have to travel with two horses.
"The horses have been fed well and fattened recently. Then it's time for them to lose weight. And you should also eat more and eat better. I will ask the chef to give you extra food soon."
Zhao Ming solemnly told him that although there was no guarantee that there would be a fight with the Russians, once there was a fight, he didn't know how many brothers would come back alive.
That is to say, Wang Er brought back a lot of ordnance and ammunition from Chief Zhang Li last time, otherwise Zhao Ming would not have dared to make such a bold decision.
"It's Mr. Zhao! I will definitely let the brothers eat more. If they don't want to force themselves to eat, I will let them eat to their fullness!" Wang Er smiled and nodded.
At this time, Zhang Kai frowned and said,
"Brother Zhao, can I not go?"
He really didn't want to get involved, not because he was afraid of being implicated, but mainly because he was afraid of death.
He has fought enough wars. At his age, he really doesn't want to travel so far.
Zhao Ming smiled and just said a word lightly.
"Are you sure? I will take away all these brothers from the Song Suppressing Army this time."
"Okay then, I'll go with you too. Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that you will make a random decision regardless of the lives of your brothers!"
Zhang Kai immediately shook his head, determined to follow Zhao Ming and stare at this kid.
Zhao Ming smiled in his heart, ha! Still can't handle your old boy?
