在处理完马戏团盗窃案之后，李探长他们马上开车前往城北的永康路。因为有人报案，称清早在永康小区85号楼发现了一连串的血脚印，而且从地下室飘出了煤气味。

After solving the mystery of the circus burglary, Detective Li and his team drove north to Yongkang Road. Someone had reported that they had discovered a trail of bloody footprints and the smell of gas wafting from the basement of building 85 in the Yongkang housing compound.
事发地点已经聚集了许多小区居民，小区保安在现场维持秩序。

Many people from the housing compound had already gathered at the crime scene. The compound’s guards were there trying to maintain order.
断断续续的血脚印连接着该幢大楼的地下室和楼上203号房间。从脚印的方向上不难看出，有人沿着楼梯从203走到了地下室。小尤他们都有种不好的预感，接下去可能会发现一个非常血腥的现场。

The intermittent bloody footsteps traced a path from the building’s cellar up to room 203. Judging by the direction of the foot prints, it was clear that someone had walked from room 203 down the stairs to the basement. Xiao You and the others had an uneasy feeling, not knowing what kind of bloody scene they would discover behind the door.
小区保安介绍说，地下室不大，而且只有一个供出入的门，关上门就相当于是一个密闭的空间。大家来到地下室的门口，发现带有血迹的钥匙还插在门上。

The compound guards explained that the basement was small. There was only a single door, and when it was closed the room was completely sealed shut. When the party arrived at the basement’s entrance, they discovered that a bloody key was still lodged in the door.
