In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
It was a scorching summer night in 1988, and Wangjia Village, located in the land of Inner Mongolia, was supposed to be surrounded by peace and tranquility, but suddenly suffered a raging flame. The grain depot in the village was tragically set on fire, and the entire warehouse was turned into a ruin in an instant, and 5,000 catties of precious grain also disappeared.
The scene of the crime was chaotic, littered with disorganized footprints and trampling marks, and most of the clues were ruthlessly destroyed by the fire. In order to find out the arson culprit as soon as possible, the police carried out a three-day and three-night search near the crime site, but the result was nothing and no progress.
Just when everyone was confused and confused, someone thought of Dong Shiyu, a well-known local footprint tracking expert. Although Dong Shiyu was unable to attend the scene because he had just undergone surgery, he still strongly recommended his granddaughter, 16-year-old Dong Yanzhen, to the police.
Initially, the police had some doubts about involving such a young girl in this major case. Can a 16-year-old girl really have such excellent footprint tracking skills? However, under Dong Shiyu's repeated assurances, they finally decided to give it a go and let Dong Yanzhen go out in person.
The young girl arrived at the scene of the crime in good spirits and with a determined gaze, and carefully observed it not far from the scene of the crime. It wasn't long before she found two clearly recognizable shoe prints, which she used to make bold and precise judgments and speculations.
Dong Yanzhen firmly believes that the suspect is a man who is about 45 years old, about 1.82 meters tall, slightly hunchbacked, and wearing a pair of big-toed shoes on his feet. Even more astonishingly, she even deduced how the suspect threw some kind of container full of gasoline into the grain depot, causing the whole process of the fire.
Although the police officer in charge of the case was initially skeptical about these unique inferences put forward by Dong Yanzhen. However, what is amazing is that according to her inference, the police successfully found and locked the suspect's whereabouts in a village not far from the scene of the crime! Even stronger evidence was that the pair of toe-toe shoes worn during the crime and a bottle of alcohol filled with the smell of gasoline were found at the suspect's residence.
Dong Yanzhen's amazing talent for tracking footprints comes from a mysterious and unique skill that has been passed down from generation to generation in her family! Her great-grandfather, a loyal guard of the former landlord's family, worked hard to protect his owner's belongings from thieves, and eventually created a unique "footprint recognition" technique that has been passed down to this day.
Her grandfather and father were both proficient in this technique, and were once invited by the police to solve a series of intricate mystery cases. In this strong family atmosphere, Dong Yanzhen has been obsessed with footprint tracking technology since she was a child, and she patiently pleaded with her grandfather to inherit this secret skill that has been passed down from generation to generation.
However, at first, Dong Shiyu did not easily agree to his granddaughter's request. On the one hand, the family's tradition stipulates that only the skill can be passed on to male offspring; On the other hand, and more importantly, the stakes involved in the craft are so great that some criminals' families may retaliate against the tracers by misinterpreting the trackers for causing the deaths of their loved ones.
In fact, Dong Yanzhen's uncle died precisely because of the revenge of the criminal's family, which plunged the entire family into endless grief. However, Dong Yanzhen did not back down because of this, she chose to observe and study silently in private.
Whenever her grandfather and father were at home analyzing the case, she always sat quietly next to her, listening intently and pondering carefully.
When playing a game of hide and seek with her friends, Dong Yanzhen will also use her observation and judgment to accurately find the hiding place of her friends through the footprints on the ground.
When she was only 14 years old, she successfully assisted her grandfather in solving a major theft case that shocked society with her outstanding intelligence and keen insight.
This experience made the grandfather deeply aware of his granddaughter's extraordinary talent and unlimited potential. After careful consideration, he resolutely decided to pass on his life's work and knowledge to Dong Yanzhen without reservation.
After assisting the police to successfully crack the arson case, the long-buried "police dream" in Dong Yanzhen's heart finally broke through the ground and thrived.
However, fate always seems to be joking! On the road of Dong Yanzhen's pursuit of her dreams, she suffered endless setbacks and tribulations. In 1990, the day full of anticipation, she stepped on the battlefield of the college entrance examination, but unfortunately missed the police academy she wanted, and the deep regret and unwillingness churned violently in her heart.
Dong Yanzhen, who has been through ups and downs for a long time, finally entered the palace of marriage two years later. Subsequently, she moved with her husband to a mining area and opened a small supermarket. It seems that the vague dream that was once vague is about to disappear.
Although Dong Yanzhen's dream of being a police officer seems to be drifting away, the trick of fate is unexpected. A sudden supermarket burglary turned out to be a key turning point for her to re-examine herself and regain her dreams.
It was an unforeseen attack, with the doors of the supermarket violently broken open and the store looted cash and some cigarettes. Faced with this situation, the husband chose to settle the matter, and the amount of loss was not huge, so he decided not to pursue it again.
However, Dong Yanzhen did not give up easily. She knows that the money is earned by her own hard work, and she must not let others plunder it wantonly.
So, Dong Yanzhen relied on her excellent footprint tracking skills to quickly find the thief's hiding place. With the assistance of the police, although the thief initially denied it, when Dong Yanzhen came up with ironclad evidence, he finally could not deny it and could only truthfully confess the crime.
This incident made Dong Yanzhen famous in the mining area, and people called her "Goddess Detective" one after another. Since then, people have sought her help whenever there is a theft, and she has never disappointed everyone, always helping the police to solve the problem.
After a period of unremitting efforts, the number of thefts in the mining area gradually decreased. The public security bureau of the mining area spoke highly of Dong Yanzhen's heroic and fearless behavior, and threw an olive branch to her, offering her a position as a supernumerary assistant police officer.
This undoubtedly paved the way for her to realize her "police dream" and gave her great encouragement.
However, how much is it to be tribulated? The seeds of Dong Yanzhen's police dream in her heart have germinated, but fate does not seem to let her go because of this. In 2001, she met Professor Wu Xumang, an authoritative expert in the field of footprints.
After that thoughtful conversation, Professor Wu was impressed by Dong Yanzhen's virtuosity and enthusiastically encouraged the young woman to pursue a more comprehensive and systematic training at the China Criminal Police Academy.
This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, like a bright dawn, showing her the way forward.
However, when Dong Yanzhen told her husband and mother-in-law about this decision with great anticipation, she was strongly opposed by them. Her husband even forced her to divorce, while her mother-in-law sneered and accused her of being idle all day.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Dong Yanzhen could only temporarily compromise on the surface, but deep down she never gave up her dream. She silently searched around looking for work and raising money for tuition.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. At this moment, Dong Yanzhen's kind mother suddenly fell ill and became seriously ill. Despite a long period of treatment, the mother eventually passed away.
At the end of her life, the mother affectionately told her daughter that the art of footprint tracking was as precious as gold, and that she must cherish this precious treasure and never let it be stained with the slightest dust.
Her mother's teachings have become an inexhaustible driving force for Dong Yanzhen to move forward, making her more determined to improve her self-quality and pursue knowledge.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, in 2002, Dong Yanzhen finally received the coveted admission letter as she wished, and was fortunate to be able to go to the Criminal Police Academy to continue her studies.
However, there was a huge problem in front of her - insufficient tuition. To make matters worse, her husband and mother-in-law were adamantly opposed to her leaving home to study, and her husband even begged her relatives and friends not to give her any financial assistance, while her mother-in-law waited at the door of her house day and night to prevent her from taking any of her luggage.
When she was desperate, Dong Yanzhen mustered up the courage to walk into the finance office of the mining area with the last glimmer of hope and sincerely asked for help. Touchingly, the head of the Treasury did not hesitate to approve the emergency loan after learning about her predicament.
In this way, Dong Yanzhen finally scraped together the required tuition. After a brief visit to her daughter, she resolutely boarded the train to the Criminal Police Academy.
After arriving at the destination and paying the tuition, Dong Yanzhen only had 200 yuan of living expenses left in her hands. In order to make ends meet, she had to work hard to earn money in addition to her studies, and her life was extremely difficult.
However, fate did not weaken her curiosity because of the hardships of life, and it took less than a year for her to finish the course with a brilliant record.
After returning from the China Criminal Police Academy, Dong Yanzhen was warmly welcomed by the Changling County Public Security Bureau of Jilin Province and was hired as a technical elite of the bureau. Although her husband and mother-in-law complained about this, they could only watch Dong Yanzhen embark on the journey to Jilin and open a new chapter in their lives.
As expected, in just one month of working at the Changling County Public Security Bureau, Dong Yanzhen assisted the police force in overcoming several complex and serious cases one after another with her excellent footprint tracking skills.
In the following years, her reputation as a "goddess detective" spread far and wide, and many provinces and cities warmly invited her to go to solve difficult cases. In 2006, in just one week, she assisted the police in solving four major and difficult cases in a row, showing the demeanor of both wisdom and courage.
However, just when her career was in full swing and fruitful, Dong Yanzhen's married life fell into a crisis. Due to the long-term separation between the two places, rumors continue to circulate in the outside world, and there are even rumors that Dong Yanzhen has formed a new family outside.
Faced with such rumors, the husband, who was already dissatisfied with his wife's work, was furious and resolutely filed for divorce from Dong Yanzhen.
Hearing the news, Dong Yanzhen's heart was full of bitterness. Recalling the hard work and sweat she has paid for her family in the past years, how she had made a difficult choice between career and family, but now she has to bear such grievances and disappointments, and the pain in her heart is indescribable.
However, after a fierce ideological struggle, she finally chose to bravely face the cruel truth of divorce.
Although the breakdown of her marriage brought a heavy blow to Dong Yanzhen, she did not collapse because of it. Instead, she chose to devote herself to the work she loves, and she has reaped the fruits of her career on the road of chasing her dreams.
In 2009, Dong Yanzhen was finally elected as a community police officer as she wished, and officially became a glorious people's policeman. Her dream for many years has finally come true in this moment, and it is complete.
The successful realization of this grand dream is undoubtedly the best testimony to Dong Yanzhen's brave pursuit and perseverance over the years!
Soon after, Dong Yanzhen's job was adjusted again, and she was transferred from the original grassroots community to the visual investigation brigade and took on the position of criminal investigator in the real sense. In this new environment, she was able to focus more on her footprint tracking skills and contribute her wisdom and strength to solving more complex and difficult cases.
Fast forward to 2015, when the finals of an unprecedented challenge reality show brought together many outstanding contestants from all over the world to compete for this supreme honor with the same belief.
Dong Yanzhen shined on the stage with her extraordinary footprint tracking skills, and after a fierce competition, she successfully defeated all her opponents and ascended to the throne of the championship.
The course of this game was full of ups and downs, and it was exciting. One of the sessions requires a keen eye to identify people who look alike. When four siblings, who looked alike and were difficult to distinguish, appeared at the same time, the audience couldn't help but exclaim.
However, Dong Yanzhen, with her meticulous observation, accurately distinguished the four in just a short period of time, winning warm applause from the audience.
What's even more amazing is that the 15 children who came to the stage next are almost exactly the same height and weight as the quadruplets, as if they are in a "crazy mirror house".
The professionals present were all shocked by Dong Yanzhen's amazing performance. Even Dr. Li Changyu, who is known as the "detective", was full of praise for Dong Yanzhen's performance, bluntly saying that this was the most challenging and jaw-dropping challenge he had ever seen, and even expressed his willingness to call Dong Yanzhen "senior sister" on the spot.
This fully shows that Dong Yanzhen has honed the skills of footprint tracking to perfection and reached an unparalleled height.
