That night, Zhao Yu was alone in the office, still thinking about the case in front of the whiteboard.
In the past two days, the "Gen" hexagram, which represented the progress of the case, had not appeared. This meant that Zhao Yu's current investigation had not made any substantial progress.
Therefore, Zhao Yu was thinking hard. Could it be that there was something wrong with his investigation?
Was the direction wrong, or did he think the case was too simple?
To be honest, because he had solved the five major cold cases, Zhao Yu did not take the well case seriously at first.
He thought that with his past experience, he would be able to solve the case.
However, up to that day, he had to re-evaluate the case.
Although he had come up with a new idea during the day, he thought that as long as he could find out why the four victims had offended the murderer and understand the murderer's hatred, he could solve the case.
However, investigating the motive of the murder was easier said than done.
Just like the Bank Hidden Corpse Case, even the victims did not know when they had offended the murderer, let alone others.
Therefore, to understand the murderer's motive, it was sometimes difficult to understand it from one side. It required a lot of information and information about the victims.
However, Ba Hongxue and Wang Pengyi were dead. They did not have many friends and relatives, and they had offended many people when they were alive. It was difficult to find out who wanted to kill them for revenge.
If it had been a new case, Zhao Yu might have had a lot of ideas. However, even the most recent victim had been dead for more than three years. Much of the evidence had disappeared, so there was no way to start.
What should I do?
What should I do?
Looking at the whiteboard and the four skeletons in the photo, Zhao Yu felt helpless.
He had not experienced this feeling for a long time.
Although many of the cases seemed inconceivable, they had never truly stumped him. However, this seemingly ordinary well case stopped him in his tracks.
What was the reason?
Zhao Yu turned to look at the photo of the well, then turned his attention back to the well.
Up until now, he still did not understand why the murderer would choose this well located deep in the mountains and forests.
Although he knew that the well was the key to solving the case, he just couldn't figure out what kind of mystery it was hiding.
Now that the well had been demolished, apart from the fingerprints and handprints on the bricks and cement, there was nothing else.
Weng weng … weng weng …
Suddenly, Zhao Yu's phone rang. It was Miao Ying.
Miao Ying informed Zhao Yu that the experts had already made portraits of the remaining two skeletons, so he could go and take a look.
So, Zhao Yu left the office and went to the Missing Persons Department. There, he saw the two 3D portraits.
However, the faces of the two deceased were relatively ordinary. They were the kind of faces that would be quickly forgotten if thrown into a crowd.
However, because the experts took age into account, the two of them looked slightly older.
"Xiao Zhao," Zhang Jingfeng said to Zhao Yu. "I'm going to make a comparison of the portrait and compare it with the database. Although the reconstructed portrait might be different, we still have to give it a try."
"Mm … go do it!" Zhao Yu nodded, then said to Zhang Yaohui, who was waiting at the side, "Captain Zhang, I don't want to send out the portrait yet.
"I'm worried that if the murderer sees this, he'll alert the enemy!"
"Yes, I think so too!" Zhang Jingfeng said enthusiastically. "Let's see what the results of the comparison are first!
"Mass identification of the corpses is the last resort. Only use it when you have no other choice."
"Alright, I understand." Zhang Yaohui nodded.
"Also," Zhao Yu said. "Although the probability is low, there must be someone on duty at the well. Once anyone suspicious gets close to the well, they have to be arrested and questioned!"
"Don't worry," Zhang Yaohui said. "These few days, the Zhang Ze Police Station's United Forest Farm employees have been keeping an eye on the crime scene! I'll send a team over tomorrow as well … "
After they left the Missing Persons Department, it was already eleven o 'clock at night. However, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying still continued to study the case.
Although Zhao Yu had changed his attitude and started to take the case seriously, he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. The well case was still stagnant, with no progress.
In the past week, Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin had sent back more detailed information about the two deceased. However, due to the long period of time, it would take a longer time to recover the deceased's life.
Also, the portraits were in a quagmire. Due to the errors in the portrait restoration technology, the computer found more than twenty thousand suspects through comparison in the database.
After the police took into account the age factors, there were still more than seven thousand suspects. Also, because the deceased's family members hadn't reported the case, the police didn't know the circumstances of the suspects' disappearance. Hence, they could only investigate the seven thousand suspects one by one.
Hence, the time that had been delayed was imaginable.
Also, the experts hadn't made any progress with their DNA mapping. Through the experts' DNA identification of the two deceased, they realized that the two deceased's DNA sequences didn't appear on the existing samples. They couldn't even determine the general area that they were in.
Hence, this lead could only end in failure.
In the past seven days, Zhao Yu hadn't been idle. He had checked the autopsy report and the deceased's belongings at least ten times, trying to find any clues.
However, the deceased's skeletons didn't have any unique features. Besides number three having a broken nose and number four having no front teeth, there were no other obvious features.
Moreover, the deceased's belongings were common items, so they didn't have any investigative value.
Zhao Yu even sent some people to collect folklore near Tuoshan to see if there was a well in the local customs.
However, the police officers went to all the nearby villages, but they didn't hear any stories about the well.
What was worse was that in the past seven days, Zhao Yu's hexagrams didn't go well. Only on the fourth day did he get a "Gen" hexagram.
However, at the end of the day, Zhao Yu realized that the "Gen" hexagram didn't represent the well case, but the Memoirs of a Murderer case, which he had been paying attention to.
He received a report from Officer Wang that day, saying that the Yaoming police had finally verified another murder case, which was exactly the same as described in the Memoirs of a Murderer.
However, at that moment, Zhao Yu was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the memoir of a murder. He had already calmed down and focused all his energy on the well case.
He believed that the reason why the well case had stopped moving forward must have something to do with his leadership. There must be some way to speed up the progress.
It must be that I haven't worked hard enough and neglected something.
For this reason, he didn't go back to his hometown once in the past seven days, nor did he see any of his old friends. Although the blonde Zhou Yang and others called him every day and asked him to drink with them, he didn't respond.
He locked himself in his office every day, thinking hard about the case and analyzing it carefully. He had entered a state of madness that he hadn't seen in a long time.
For example, it was two o 'clock in the morning, but he was still standing in front of the whiteboard, studying something.
Maybe it was out of professional sensitivity, or maybe it was because of his experience, but after studying all the details, Zhao Yu always had a feeling that the thing he had ignored would soon appear.
