Edo Traveler

v9 Chapter 85: 1 meter 8 where to find

"Rusias, really cunning!"

  Suke Liu compared the collected footprints and the drawing on the soles of the British military police's leather shoes. It has been preliminarily determined that the collected footprints belonged to four British military police and an unidentified leather boot wearer.

  Have you ever seen someone wearing leather boots in Japan? Even the soldiers of the Xi’an squad wore straw sandals. Even the Ainu people of Ezo, they wear leather boots, but they are definitely not such soles, because the Ainu people use wood for the soles.

   Even the leather boots worn by high-class warriors when they participate in hunting, the soles are different from Western-style leather boots. In many cases, the material of the sole is not exactly the same.

   "It cannot be completely concluded..." Chuemon has ordered someone to erect a pergola on the ground where the sample was taken, and erect a fence to prevent the only site for testimony from being destroyed.

   Just relying on this clue, there is no way to fully explain it. After all, if a criminal commits a crime premeditated, it is very likely that he will take into account his own criminal traces.

   For example, fingerprints, body fluids, footprints, etc. Because these can be used as direct criminal evidence, the police often attach great importance to it. Since the police pay attention to it, suspects of premeditated crimes will naturally also pay attention to it. Pay attention to your own footprints and don't stay on the scene.

   There are many vivid examples in criminal investigation cases in later generations. There are criminals who wear big shoes with small feet to deliberately mislead the investigators and miscalculate the height of the offender. Or, in the process of finding a case, the shoe prints on the scene are inconsistent, and the principle of "no guilty" is adopted, and the prisoner is sentenced not guilty.

   In this case, the person who attacked the Russian embassy also stole or bought a pair of large leather boots worn by foreigners and replaced them on his own feet to ensure that he would not be discovered by the investigators.

  Tadaemon looked around the Russian embassy, ​​and then started searching around the wall on the inside of the Russian embassy. Since they were the attackers, of course they couldn't enter and exit grandiosely through the gate. Moreover, there are two Russian soldiers guarding the gate, and it is impossible for the single-handed prisoner to pass through the gate without disturbing the guards.

   So the man obviously should have come in over the wall, and the technique of over the wall is good, the sound of going up and down the wall is not loud, and his hands and feet are dexterous. And as long as it is over the wall, it will definitely leave footprints on the wall. No matter how good you are, you can't jump more than three meters or even more than four meters high. If there is a volley that jumps more than three meters, this is probably not a parallel plane, it is a martial arts or a low-strength plane.

   "Are you looking for shoe prints over the wall?" Sukeroku looked at the wall carefully, so he asked.

   They have been handling cases for many years, and they often belong to the board of directors. Chuyemon's thoughts have changed, and Soroku can roughly distinguish it.

   These foreigners also understand that in Japan, a newly opened country, there are many people who hate foreigners. This wall must be built taller and stronger to avoid simple intrusion by malicious people. The walls that haven't been painted for a long time are actually quite clean, with no peeling or stains yet.

   The footprints are naturally also very eye-catching!

   There is it, and Chuemon found a footprint that was obviously to climb the wall. This footprint is not all, only the footprint of the forefoot.

   is perfect! Chuemon was waiting for such a footprint. The reason is simple. If the prisoner wears big shoes with small feet, how did he step on the wall (perhaps inaccurately) with empty shoes with no toes, and then use his strength to climb the wall and escape?

   With small feet wearing big shoes, the center of gravity of the foot must be on the heel of the whole foot. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to leap over a three-meter-high wall with the forefoot empty.

   "Look at this shoe print!" Tadaemon compared the front half of the footprint on the wall with the unidentified footprint collected downstairs in the fire room.

   "It's exactly the same." Zhu Liu saw it at a glance.

   It is true that those shoe prints were just collected by Zhuoli. He also made the comparison carefully, remembering to travel lightly in every detail.

   "Humph, I didn't expect Lucia to do such a trick."

  Tadaemon estimated the footprint in his hand, and it was estimated to be about 44 yards or 45 yards in later generations. According to the size of this footprint, the prisoner is at least 1.8 meters tall.

   one meter eight!

  In Japan, in today's Edo period, there are no one-meter-eight people, and there is no need to be dark at all. But people who have grown up to such a height are completely rare, and there may not be one in 10,000 people.

   Tademon himself is 1.72 meters tall, and he is already quite tall in the crowd. Our little friend Zhuliu is a little bit close, and it looks like only 1.68 meters. And this is because the two grew up in a monastery, they didn't worry about food and clothing, and they never hungry since they were young.

   No matter it is the cheap old man Tokugawa Ikaki, UU reading www.uukanshu.com or the cheap eldest brother Tokugawa Isaiah, the height is not more than 1.7 meters. Even the cheap uncle Songping Qixuan, as well as the old middle and ministers of the shogunate, are all about one meter and six meters, and even one meter and five meters.

   Nowadays, the height of Japanese men, or urban men, is basically about 1.6 to 1.6 meters, and many people are slightly shorter than this number. As for the men in the countryside, their height is generally about 1.5 meters, and the distance is a little over 1.8 meters. There is a huge gap between them.

   Inappropriate security Now all the Japanese men in Yokohama are pulled out, one counts as one, and no one is 1.8 meters tall!

   The guards or diplomatic attachés around the ambassadors are different. There are quite a few strong men over 1.8 meters. Ordinary soldiers in their country may only look more than 1.6 meters, but this kind of guards or military attaches who are sent to foreign countries are definitely selected by the military, and their height is not too ugly.

   Before the grenadiers could pick up the big tall, there is no reason to send the soldiers out there, not the big tall ones.

   all represent the faces of their respective countries. If one's own country clearly has a tall soldier of one meter and eight meters, but only sends a small soldier of one meter and six meters to follow along, it would be equivalent to embarrassing in front of foreign countries.

   The determined Tademon in his heart, while calling people over to protect this "important exhibit" wall, he organized language and figured out how to push this cauldron that fell out of thin air from the head of the shogunate.

  , the concentric who came along, also pulled up isolation next to the wall, built a pergola to avoid damage to their footprints, and then waited for the "Wisdom Edogawa" to play.
