The next morning, when the team members arrived at the office of the Special Investigation Group, they were surprised to see a shocking scene.
More than a dozen whiteboards were crooked, and the floor was a mess. Zhao Yu, the team leader, was lying on his back, snoring loudly.
"Leader, leader …" Li Beini put down the breakfast she had just bought and hurried forward to check.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? " Cui Lizhu also ran over from the duty room. When she saw that Zhao Yu was awake, she shouted, "Boss! Boss, did you get into a fight with someone again? "
"Oh …"
Amidst the noise, Zhao Yu woke up from his sleep and yawned lazily.
"Hmm …"
Zhao Yu opened his eyes and saw that Wu Xiumin, Li Beini, Cui Lizhu, Liu Zhanbing, and the others were all there. Even Ma Jichun from the Secret Service was there.
"Hey? Is everyone here? "Zhao Yu stood up from the ground, his eyes wide open, and shouted excitedly," That's good! Hurry up, hurry up, come here … "
While shouting, Zhao Yu quickly rushed to the front of the office and turned on the big screen.
When everyone saw Zhao Yu's excited look, they didn't know what he was thinking. They quickly put down what they were doing and came to the big screen to watch.
As the screen lit up, a map with different color markings appeared on it!
"Come on …" Zhao Yu picked up a laser pointer, pointed at the map, and said, "Look carefully! Yesterday, I suddenly thought of something important! A master once said that the truth of a crime is often hidden in the seemingly ordinary clues! Look … This is a map of the entire northeast, right?
"Look … Pay attention to those colors!" Zhao Yu said. "According to the work log of the Secret Service, I used five colors to show the route of the five experts to explore the treasure! Look carefully and see if there is anything special about it! "
"Ah? This … "
The team members obviously couldn't keep up with Zhao Yu's pace. They looked at the map, but they couldn't say anything. Only Ma Jichun from the Secret Service thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that there are very few overlapping areas in the experts' detection range?"
"Promising!" Zhao Yu pointed at Ma Jichun and said, "Li Jing's man! You're right. After I marked out their tracks, I found that there were very few overlaps between the tracks of these five experts! "
"Yeah!" Ma Jichun furrowed his eyebrows and reminded him. "The experts work according to the division of labor of different groups, so they naturally avoid searching the same area repeatedly, which would save them a lot of manpower and resources! Leader Zhao, you're … "
"Yesterday …" Zhao Yu held back his excitement and calmed himself down. "Last night, I had an idea! I was guessing that the death of the five experts was related to their treasure hunt that year. Did something unexpected happen while they were searching for the treasure?
"So, I want to see if there's any overlap based on their tracks back then?" Zhao Yu pointed to the big screen and said seriously, "Although they are from different eras, if they all investigated from the same place, could it be that this accident happened in the same place?
"But …" Zhao Yu pointed to the map again. "I soon found that the routes they searched for were fundamentally different. Even if there were overlaps, there were very few. Except for the big cities, I couldn't find a place where all five of them had searched! What does this mean? "
"Um …" Everyone frowned and was puzzled.
Cui Lizhu rolled her eyes and said, "Boss, didn't they just say that? Because of the division of labor, the exploration routes wouldn't overlap. Don't keep us guessing. Tell us, what did you find? "
"Wahaha … Good!" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up and he said proudly, "The moment to witness a miracle is coming! When I found that the experts' routes rarely overlapped, of course, I was very disappointed. I thought I was looking in the wrong direction again!
"However, at this critical moment, guess what? My little universe suddenly exploded! Wahaha … "
Cui Lizhu and Li Beini wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads at the same time.
"It suddenly occurred to me that their exploration routes didn't overlap. That's right! Come, come, come … "Zhao Yu turned around and searched for more than ten seconds. Then, he found the whiteboard with the five experts' information and pushed it to the center. "Take a good look. This is the information of the five experts. Think about their exploration routes. What do you think? Do you have any ideas? "
Everyone thought about Zhao Yu's words seriously. They had thought about the experts' information countless times, but they hadn't found anything unusual at all!
"The answer is right here!" Zhao Yu pointed to Yuan Juncheng's photo. "Actually, the problem that we have been ignoring is the truth serum! Think about it … Why did the murderer use the truth serum on the experts? "
"Truth serum? Of course, it was to get information. That goes without saying. But … "Cui Lizhu still didn't understand what Zhao Yu was trying to say.
"Yes! We have been thinking about the truth serum and have been thinking about what the murderer wanted to know. But … "Zhao Yu pointed to Yuan Juncheng's photo." But … We ignored the truth serum itself! We never thought about this. If the murderer had used the truth serum on the first person and found out what he wanted, then … The subsequent cases … Wouldn't have happened? "
"Huh?!" Hearing this, everyone had goosebumps. Indeed, their eyes were focused on the murderer's problem, but they had ignored the fact that the murderer had used the truth serum.
"This … So …" Li Beini pondered. "Because he didn't get the answer he wanted, he killed the people after him!?"
"Oh … Oh …" Cui Lizhu's eyes widened and her body trembled. "I finally understand what you mean! No wonder you pointed to Yuan Juncheng's photo! Yuan Juncheng was the last victim, which means that the key problem lies with Yuan Juncheng!! "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu put his hands behind his back and shook his head. "I'm guessing that the murderer only knew that the answer he wanted was related to these five experts, but he wasn't sure which one it was. So … They used the truth serum one by one according to the order on the list. But they were really unlucky! They didn't even know the first four! "
"The truth serum works on the nervous system!" Wu Xiumin said. "It is different from normal hallucinogens. It stimulates the user's peripheral nerves and leaves a deep impression in the brain! Therefore, the murderer was worried that the matter of using the truth serum would be exposed. That's why he resorted to such a vicious method and silenced them! "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded and said with certainty. "We can at least confirm two things now. First, the experts' deaths are definitely related to the treasure! Secondly, the key reason for their deaths lies with Yuan Juncheng! "
