In the blink of an eye, four days had passed. Sui Sui * Meng * Xiao no.1a
The heavy snow had stopped a long time ago, but the temperature outside seemed to be colder than before. The snow had turned into ice, and the whole city was still shrouded in white.
At that moment, in the office of the Feng Ping Special Investigation Group, Zhao Yu was holding a cup of hot water, seriously adding new content to a whiteboard that was filled with case information.
In the past few days, Cui Lizhu had found the film company that Kang Ziqing used to work at. Although the company had been restructured, she still used various means to find many people who knew Kang Ziqing, and gradually restored his life in the South.
It turned out that Kang Ziqing wasn't an important figure in the film company, but was just a driver hired by the company to transport props and actors. Occasionally, he would also do odd jobs on the set.
However, Kang Ziqing wasn't bragging. After all, he was often active in different film crews, so he had many opportunities to meet famous actors and directors.
The nature of his job was temporary, and he earned a day's salary for a day's work. When there was work, he would work, and when there was no work, he would rest. It was similar to being a temporary actor, so he didn't sign a contract with the film company.
But, after some careful investigation, Cui Lizhu found Kang Ziqing's name on the company's payroll. It was with this payroll that she was able to restore part of Kang Ziqing's life.
Unfortunately, due to the multiple restructuring of the company, the payroll was no longer complete, so Cui Lizhu could only find part of it. The rest was still in the process of being searched.
Cui Lizhu was also trying to restore Kang Ziqing's life by interrogating the people involved, so it would take more time to get a complete set of information about Kang Ziqing.
However, the information that she had now provided Zhao Yu and the others with important clues for their investigation.
First of all, the film company had been operating on a large scale, with a wide range of business. Kang Ziqing often followed different film crews around, and his footprints were almost all over the major provinces in the South. This matched the time and location of the video murder case.
Unsurprisingly, Zhao Yu was caught up in a crucial problem.
Was this Kang Ziqing the real culprit of the video murder case!?
Then, after adding the content, Zhao Yu pulled out another whiteboard with the chronology of the video murder case in front of him.
In this way, the video murder case and Kang Ziqing's life trajectory appeared in front of everyone at the same time, making the entire case's timeline even clearer.
"Boss, although it's not complete, this kind of evidence should be enough, right?" Looking at the two whiteboards, Ran Tao said with his eyes wide open, "In 1999, when the first victim, Wei Qiqi, disappeared, Kang Ziqing happened to be working in Beicang City, Xijiang Province!
"I can't say anymore. This is just a coincidence, right?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke said. "Kang Ziqing came to work in the film company in 1998. When Wei Qiqi disappeared in 1999, he had already been working there for a year, so he should have understood the local environment!"
"The second victim, Cao Yiran, disappeared from Yunshan, Yuezhou," Ran Tao said. "At that time, Kang Ziqing was filming with a commercial crew in the provincial capital of Yuezhou. The provincial capital of Yuezhou is only 20 kilometers away from Yunshan City, which is no different from a city!
"The third victim, in Nanjiang Jinhai," Ran Tao said, pointing at the third victim. "Although Kang Ziqing hasn't found any news that he went to Nanjiang, at least in terms of time, we can't rule out the possibility that he wasn't in Nanjiang at that time.
"Look at the fourth victim," he said excitedly, pointing down. "Miao Xiaowen, this is almost irrefutable evidence!
"Is there anything more obvious than this? Kang Ziqing was filming with a film crew for a certain product, and the advertising company that hired them happened to be the advertising company that Miao Xiaowen worked for!
"Isn't this … Isn't this solid evidence?" Ran Tao said, spreading his hands. "Kang Ziqing must have met Miao Xiaowen before. Kang Ziqing had his eyes on his prey!"
Hearing Ran Tao's excited words, Zhao Yu was unusually calm. He stared at the information on the whiteboard and didn't say a word.
Seeing that Zhao Yu didn't respond, Ran Tao continued pointing at the whiteboard.
"The fifth, and the sixth," he said, slapping the whiteboard. "Look, including the fourth victim, Miao Xiaowen, they all disappeared in Yuezhou Province. At that time, Kang Ziqing happened to be working in Yuezhou!
"Although the fifth and sixth victims weren't in the same city as Kang Ziqing, they weren't too far away from each other. Most importantly," Ran Tao said, "We also found the performance list of the sixth victim, Zhang He, in Kang Ziqing's bag. There was a promotional photo of Zhang He on the list!
"Let's not talk about the seventh and eighth victims for now," Ran Tao continued, "because we haven't found out where Kang Ziqing was at the beginning of 2004 and the end of 2005.
"But the ninth victim has to be mentioned," Ran Tao said, pointing at the information of the ninth victim. "Qiongzhou's Hailan, Wu Aoshan, was an actress in the large-scale dance drama Qiongzhou Ballad. Kang Ziqing was with the crew that went to shoot the promotional video for Qiongzhou Ballad!
"Moving on, the tenth victim's position is slightly different from Kang Ziqing's, but what about the last victim, Cao Lejiao?" Ran Tao looked at his hands. "Kang Ziqing's bag has Cao Lejiao's business card!
"This … What else is there to say?" Ran Tao turned to Zhao Yu and asked, "Boss, isn't this enough to close the case?"
"Not enough!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "This information still doesn't explain how Kang Ziqing, who often drinks, has a bad temper, and isn't scheming, could quietly commit such a big crime!"
"This … What else is missing?" Ran Tao asked.
"A lot!" Zhao Yu pointed at the whiteboard and said, "For example, year 0 is the biggest problem!"
"Huh? Year 0? "Ran Tao glanced at the whiteboard." What's wrong? Didn't we find Kang Ziqing's track in year 0? He was in Xijiang all along! "
"But," Zhao Yu pointed at the information of the video murder case and said, "in year 0, there wasn't a single video murder case. That's obviously illogical!
"In year 99, year 2000, and year 01, there was one video murder case each. Then, in year 02, the number suddenly increased to five. Based on this trend, he should have killed even more in year 0.
"Why did he stop for two years and only start again at the end of 2004?"
"This …" Ran Tao was speechless.
"If Kang Ziqing happened to be seriously ill in year 0, or in prison, I might think that he was an indisputable murderer! But, "Zhao Yu pointed at Kang Ziqing's information," in year 0, 2004, his work was still going on, and his life didn't change at all. But, why did he stop killing? "
"This …" Ran Tao scratched his head. "Could it be that … the videotape wasn't complete?"
"Also …" Zhao Yu said, "Although part of Kang Ziqing's life was related to the video murder case, what about the people in the film crew? Weren't they also following the same trajectory? "
"What if it was someone else in the film crew?"
"Is that possible?" Ran Tao grinned.
"Although," Zhao Yu said, "we already confirmed that there was no one else in the car that Kang Ziqing was in, what if the real murderer got out of the car early, or only left his backpack in the car?
In reality, there are countless possibilities!
"What we see now is not only not enough evidence to close the case, but a stalemate full of variables! We still have a lot of things to do! "
"Oh …" Hearing Zhao Yu's sharp words, Ran Tao finally lowered his head and stopped talking.
Ring ring ring …
Just then, the office phone rang. After Zeng Ke answered it, he immediately reported the latest news to Zhao Yu.
"Team Leader, after the coffin was opened, the DNA results were out," Zeng Ke said. "The DNA that was extracted from Kang Ziqing's father's remains was confirmed to be the father and son of the DNA that contained the most information in the leather bag.
In other words, the DNA that contained the most information was Kang Ziqing's!
So, we can be sure that the leather bag belonged to Kang Ziqing! "
