Two days later, in the office of the Qinshan Special Investigation Group, Zhao Yu was having a video call with Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin, who were far away in Meng Xiang.
Ran Tao held a pile of documents and said in front of the camera, "Boss, Ba Hongxue used to be a gangster and used to follow many bosses.
He was addicted to gambling. In order to avoid paying his debts, he changed several cities to live. It's like playing hide and seek. It's going to be hard to find him! "
"Wang Pengyi's situation is similar," Wu Xiumin said in the video. "According to his brothers, Wang Pengyi was also a fierce gangster when he was young."
Wu Xiumin then added, "Although he has gradually settled down as he grows older, he is still grumpy. He often gets into trouble with others and offends countless people. If you want to find those who offended him, it will be difficult …"
"They really are hooligans …" Zhao Yu had a bad feeling. Hooligans like them had offended countless people, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of solving the case.
He thought for a moment, then asked the two of them, "So … Have you found the contact point between the two of them? Do they know each other? "
"Um …" Ran Tao answered first. "I asked several of Ba Hongxue's friends, but none of them had seen Wang Pengyi."
"I also asked Wang Pengyi's brothers and friends," Wu Xiumin replied. "None of them had heard of Ba Hongxue."
"I checked Ba Hongxue's call records," Ran Tao added. "Wang Pengyi's phone number is not in them. I am now at the local police station, looking into his call records to see if there are any missing people who fit the description. I also want to see if I can find the other two victims. "
"Wang Pengyi is a conservative person, so he has never used QQ or WeChat. So, I can only look into his call records."
"Boss, I need time!" Ran Tao said. "Ba Hongxue is an old bachelor. His parents are not alive, and he has a sister who he doesn't talk to.
If you want to know more about his past, you can only look for his gangster brothers one by one. I need time! "
"It's the same on my side," Wu Xiumin said. "Wang Pengyi used to run a feed business in his early years. He traveled all over the country and came into contact with many people. It's very difficult to investigate."
"Phew …" Zhao Yu ran his fingers through his hair and said helplessly, "Then you have to investigate it carefully. Start with their intersection points and see if they met at the same time and in the same city. Only by finding out their relationship can we proceed with the case!"
"Understood …"
"Understood!"
After the two of them responded, the video call ended, and Zhao Yu switched off his phone.
Sigh!
Zhao Yu sighed. There was an old saying that went, "Haste makes waste."
The more eager he was to close the case and go to Yaoming to investigate Memoirs of a Murderer, the more difficult the case became.
The identities of the two victims were complicated, and they had many enemies. If they wanted to find the other two victims and the identity of the murderer, it would not be solved in a short period of time.
Zhao Yu could not hide his impatience.
Although the portrait experts were working hard to restore the heads of the two victims, Zhao Yu wasn't optimistic about it.
Since the DNA of the two victims did not appear in the missing persons database, there was no doubt that no one had reported them. No one had reported them, which meant that no one cared about them.
Since no one cared about them, even if they restored the heads and put up a notice to identify the bodies, no one would respond.
Moreover, this kind of 3D head restoration would have a certain degree of deviation from the original person. If they were compared according to the ID photo, there was a high chance that there would be an error, making the comparison invalid.
Therefore, if he wanted to uncover the identities of the other two victims, he could only work on the existing victims. Since they both died in the same well, there must be a very important connection between them.
Miao Ying looked at the whiteboard and said, "It must be a deep hatred! Miao Ying looked at the whiteboard and said, "Although Ba Hongxue and Wang Pengyi have a lot of enemies, only a deep hatred can lead to such revenge!"
"Team Leader," Zeng Ke, who was standing next to him, said, "You know more about the grudges of Jianghu. Could the well case be like in the movies? They stole someone else's goods and offended a Jianghu boss, so they were killed?
"That's why they used the method of burying them alive?"
"I thought about this possibility before," Zhao Yu said. "But, the four people were buried in the well in batches, which doesn't seem to be consistent with killing them."
"If it was to kill them, they would have chosen a more conservative method. They wouldn't have buried them in such a conspicuous well, nor would they have simply covered the well with a stone …"
"Oh …" Zeng Ke nodded. "If that's the case, it is more likely that they were killed in revenge!"
"Yes," Zhao Yu said, pointing to the whiteboard and thinking carefully. "The murderer killed the four victims over the course of three years. I have the feeling that the murderer didn't know much about the victims' situation!
"The murderer had to search for a long time before he found the victims and killed them!"
"This …" Zeng Ke thought carefully.
Miao Ying repeated curiously, "The murderer and the victims weren't familiar with each other? Then, why did they kill them? Why did they hate each other so much? "
"Look," Zhao Yu said. "Remember the White Bone Case, when the killer Liang Yili took revenge? It only took him a few months to kill the other three killers! "
"If the well case was the same, then it shouldn't have taken such a long time to kill them!" Zhao Yu said. "If the murderer wanted revenge, why didn't he kill the next one after killing one?
"What was he waiting for?
"Didn't he know that the longer it took, the more dangerous the case would be?"
"But, isn't this a bit contradictory?" Miao Ying asked. "Since they weren't familiar with each other, how could there be such a big hatred?"
"No, your words are contradictory!" Zhao Yu said bluntly. "Remember the Bank Hidden Corpse Case? Was the murderer Qiu Xinyang familiar with the victims? "
"This …" Miao Ying was speechless.
"Let's assume," Zhao Yu drew a dot in the middle of the whiteboard, then pointed at the dot and said, "Because of a life-threatening incident, the four victims intentionally or unintentionally offended the murderer, which led to the murderer's revenge!
However, because these four people were gangsters that were hard to find, the murderer spent a lot of effort to find them. When he found one, he killed one and buried them alive in the well! "
"Oh … That sounds pretty straightforward," Zeng Ke analyzed. "So, there's no order of killing."
"If my inference is correct, then it means that the four victims are not closely related to each other, and it would be difficult for Ran Tao and the others to find out the identities of the other two victims!"
"Because …" Zhao Yu said. "If they were familiar with each other, the murderer could easily find one of them and force a confession out of him. Just like Liang Yili in the White Bone Case, he could quickly get everyone's information!"
Miao Ying then said, "If your inference is correct, then the investigation of Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin is meaningless!"
"It is!" Zhao Yu said, tapping the circle with his pen again. "We have to know how the victims offended the murderer!
If we can know what the murderer's hatred is, then this case can be solved! "
