“At eighto’ clock in the evening, Ran Tao, who had been busy for two days, was reporting in front of the big screen in his office. ”
“””This is the last video of Qiu Jinna.”” He pointed at the video on the big screen and explained,””on January 29th, which was seven days ago, at 1:30 p.m., She came out of the shop on the commercial Street and walked North out of the commercial Street! ”
“””Qiu Jinna doesn’t have a driver’s license, so she’s never bought a car before. She usually takes a taxi when she goes out … ”
“””But, when we checked the surveillance cameras at the intersection, we couldn’t find any trace of her! ”
“””Everyone, take a look.”” He switched the image on the big screen, and a clear satellite map appeared on it. “”From the business district north Street, there is only a small blind spot! ”
“””But, Qiu Jinna just had to disappear in this small blind spot.”” He pointed to a spot on the map and said,””the commercial Street is well-connected and has many corners. There are no walls on either side. If the murderer disappeared from the blind spot, he would have several ways to avoid the cameras and leave the commercial Street! ”
“””We’ve registered and checked all the cars that passed by, but to the South of the commercial Street is a large area of new buildings that have yet to be completed. If Qiu Jinna was taken away from there, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to track her down!”” ”
“””That is to say …”” Zhao Yu said.””The murderer was very familiar with the situation around the commercial Street!”” ”
“””Maybe he’s familiar with it, or maybe he’s done in-depth research on it!”” Ran Tao said seriously,””but I feel that it’s more likely to be the latter, because the murderer not only knows the business street better, but also has a similar situation in the investigation near the crime scene!”” ”
“Then, Ran Tao opened a new map. ”
“””This is the map of meihexing town. This is the place where Qiu Jinna was killed,”” Ran Tao said.””This place is 17 kilometers away from Qiu Jinna’s house on the commercial Street.”” ”
“””I have to say that the murderer was very careful. We tracked all the suspicious vehicles, but all of them were ruled out. In other words, the murderer actually avoided all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity. ”
“Ran Tao then said,””we have increased the police force and asked almost all the villages near meihexing town, but no one claimed to have found any suspects.”” ”
“””We also asked the children playing in the river. They also said that they had never seen anyone pulling a plow across the river … ”
“””And,”” Ran Tao said,””we even groped along the river on both sides several times. Under the small bridge in meihexing town was a branch of the Shura River, and less than a kilometer East from there, there was a small waterfall. ”
“””So, we concluded that the murderer didn’t come from the East. ”
“””The road to the West is smooth, all the way to the main channel of the Shura River. We passed by four villages along the way, but none of them have cameras …”” ”
“Ran Tao then switched to the big screen and continued,””also, we brought a few senior police officers who are good at snow marking science. They carefully checked the marks on the ice of the river. Indeed, on the west side of the meihexing bridge, they found relatively fresh traces of plowed land.”” ”
“””However, when we passed the first village, there were too many marks on the river, so it was difficult to continue tracking …”” ”
“””I remember,”” Miao Ying said after Ran Tao finished his report,””that we discussed before that the murderer shouldn’t have just pulled the plow and moved the victim under the bridge!”” ”
“””He must have a car, and this car can’t be too small. It must be able to fit the plow! ”
“””So,”” Miao Ying pointed to the map and said,””on both sides of the river, do you see any places that cars can reach and where it’s easy to park?”” ”
“””That’s too many,”” Ran Tao said helplessly.””Go west along the river. Although the river is not asphalt, you can use cars!”” ”
“””Originally, we wanted to use the snow to see if there were any traces of a car passing by, but unfortunately, it took too long! ”
“””It’s impossible to find it because of the continuous snow …”” ”
“””Alright, brother Tao, you’ve worked hard!”” Zhao Yu said,””have a good rest today, and continue tomorrow!”” ”
“””We are now investigating the scenes of several other cases,”” Ran Tao said.””Fortunately, we have supplemented the police force. Otherwise, we would have been exhausted!”” ”
“””Boss,”” Ran Tao said bluntly,””the murderer is definitely not an ordinary person. He is familiar with the geographical environment and knows how to counter-reconnaissance and tracking. I’m not trying to boost his morale, but I have a feeling that the possibility of finding clues from the scene is not great!”” ”
“””In my opinion, the most direct and effective way is to start from the relationship between the victims!”” ”
“””You make it sound so easy.”” Cui Lizhu rolled her eyes.””Don’t think that you’re the only one working in the world, okay? ”
“””My face was slapped swollen in order to investigate the case!”” Cui Lizhu said,””of the four foreign women who were killed, besides the dancer, the other three seemed to be deliberately hiding their identities! ”
“””I can’t find any direct contact between them in my contacts or online accounts …”” ”
“Ran Tao scratched his head and said,””this case is really strange!”” ”
“””Alright, you guys take a break. Wu Xiumin …”” Zhao Yu said to Wu Xiumin.””How’s your investigation going?”” ”
“Wu Xiumin had been investigating the third oil extraction plant case. Now, with concrete evidence, Zhao Yu and the others had decided to exclude the case from the female corpse under the bridge case. ”
“””We found footprints at the scene, but no fingerprints, and no obvious non-victim information.”” Wu Xiumin gestured to Zeng ke, who immediately pulled up a map of the area around the No. 3 oil extraction plant.””I went to the dormitory of the victim, Chi Meixin, today. Everything was normal there, and there was no sign of a fight.”” ”
“””Furthermore, the workers often take turns to work, and there are people in the dormitory 24 hours a day. I think that the murderer wouldn’t dare to rashly attack Chi Meixin from the dormitory! ”
“Wu Xiumin said regretfully,””I’ve checked, and there were no surveillance cameras in their entire dormitory in Hongqi Town. This has caused some inconvenience to our investigation!”” ”
“””I asked the female workers in the dormitory, and they all said that the last time they saw Chi Meixin was after they got off work at 6 pm! ”
“””At that time, Chi Meixin was having dinner with her colleagues who had gotten off work at the same time. After that, they crossed the ice Lake and returned to the dormitory building in red flag town. ”
“””At that time, there were six of them together, but none of them were staying in the same dormitory as Chi Meixin. So, no one knew what happened after Chi Meixin returned to the dormitory! ”
“””I specifically looked into Chi Meixin’s call history,”” Wu Xiumin said.””During that time, she did not answer any calls! ”
“””I’ve checked on WeChat too, but I haven’t communicated with anyone either. ”
“””But, I’ve checked her previous records. Except for the night shift, she video-called her child almost every night,”” Wu Xiumin said.””But, on the day of the accident, she did not do anything! ”
“””I took a look at her bedding. It’s basically untouched. ”
“””So, I suspect that,”” Wu Xiumin said,””Chi Meixin was caught by the murderer not long after she returned to the dormitory building!”” ”
“””That’s strange,”” cui Lizhu said curiously.””Since it didn’t happen in the dormitory, it must have happened outside?”” Don’t tell me, Chi Meixin walked out of the dormitory by herself, did she really see a ghost?”” ”
