“Chief Zheng, do you have any black cloth? Cover my eyes. I can’t see, so choose someone at random and have them walk across this wood ash.”
“From the footprints, I’ll be able to tell their sex, height, build, and age, then identify who it was!”
“Judging by the marks, the footprints are over seven inches long, so their owner is probably a man between 165 and 175 centimeters tall!”
“But the prints are faint, and he weighs only between thirty and thirty-five kilograms!”
“The centers are solid and the edges faint. His center of gravity shifts back and forth, so the person wearing the shoes clearly has small feet but large shoes!”
“The stride is less than ten inches, the heels barely leave a mark, and the toes point inward. The feet are small and narrow, so the person must be a woman!”
“The steps are light and quick, so she must be young, just a girl!”
“To sum up, the person who just walked by must be a little girl around ten years old, between 130 and 140 centimeters tall!”
