Three days later, in the conference room of the Chengzhou Police Station.
Four 3D head portraits of the murdered girls had been produced and appeared on the big screen in the center of the conference room.
Captain Mou Yongen was arranging the next identification work around the four head portraits. They had sent out requests to all levels of police departments across the country to find the identities of the four girls.
"According to the DNA profiles," Zhang Peipei said in the meeting, "the four murdered girls are not locals of Chengzhou. They are all from other places."
"Among them, number two and number three are from the Nanyun area. We are narrowing down the scope."
"Number four should be from near Guizhou …"
"As for number one and number five, we need further confirmation …"
"Hmm …" Captain Mou sorted out the information and said, "We will send the corresponding information to these two so they can focus on screening!"
"Captain Mou," Zhao Yu ordered, "since the heads of the four girls have been produced, the focus of the investigation should still be on Chengzhou!"
"Yes, I understand!" Captain Mou said. "Before this, we have used the head portraits to compare with the missing cases from that year. So far, we have found several similar cases and are still confirming them one by one!"
In this way, Zhao Yu assigned several tasks in a row before the meeting ended. All the detectives of the Chengzhou Police Station received their tasks and went to investigate.
After the meeting, Cui Lizhu pointed to the big screen and said, "It seems that these girls are not university students. I didn't expect that Chengzhou is so big, but in the past few years, there has never been a case of a university student going missing! "
"Zhang Peipei," Zhao Yu asked Zhang Peipei directly, "is there any update on the fifth female corpse found under the banyan tree?"
"Oh, this is the report!" Zhang Peipei handed the information to Zhao Yu. "It is almost the same as the previous four. A young female, died of suffocation. Her feet were painted with nail polish, but her hands were not …"
"Nail polish again …" Zhao Yu frowned slightly, feeling very strange.
"Leader Zhao, I don't know if you noticed before," Zhang Peipei said.
"I just remembered something. Through the examination of the bones, I found that the height of the five victims is basically the same. They are all about 1.55 meters tall!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu frowned. "Nail polish, height … F * ck …" After thinking for a few seconds, he quickly turned around and asked Zeng Ke, "Zeng Ke, did I ask you to inform Liu Weiyi to write a new diary?"
"Yes!" Zeng Ke nodded and quickly turned on his mobile phone. "I've already sent it to you. It's called 'My Secret'. Because time was tight, I asked him to write a rough outline first.
"I'll give him a call later. I think the detailed version has already been written, right? It's just that … "Zeng Ke was worried." After all, it was a whim from more than 20 years ago, so Liu Weiyi can't remember many details! "
"That's not important," Zhao Yu said. "Call him now and ask him if he described the specific characteristics of the victims in the book.
"For example, the victim's height, weight, appearance, and whether or not she painted her nails?"
"Oh … Okay, okay …" Zeng Ke hurriedly picked up his phone and called Liu Weiyi.
Cui Lizhu quickly stood in front of the big screen and said, "No wonder I had a weird feeling just now.
"Don't you think that the four murdered girls look a little similar?"
This …
Everyone turned around with a look of surprise on their faces.
Sure enough, if one didn't look very carefully, the faces of the four murdered girls were indeed very similar. At first, everyone thought that it was a problem with the 3D reconstruction technology. But now, it seemed that the four girls looked very similar.
"If … If that's the case … Doesn't that mean that the murderer is selective? Does he have a murderous complex? "
"That's for sure, right?" Cui Lizhu grinned. "If he didn't have any psychological problems, would he randomly pick up a book and kill people according to the story in the book?
If that's the case, then those who write crime stories and shoot detective movies should stop working! "
"Um …" Zhang Peipei nodded, then said to Zhao Yu, "Leader Zhao, I'm sorry, I haven't finished speaking just now!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu quickly covered his mouth, then reached out and said, "We're sorry!"
"Leader Zhao," Zhang Peipei said, "When I was interning with Teacher Gao, I once encountered a similar case. At that time, we couldn't find a DNA match with the deceased, so we couldn't confirm the identity of the deceased!
We checked the missing persons case and issued a notice to identify the body, but we couldn't find anything … "
Zhang Peipei then said, "Later, when we solved the case, we found out that the deceased was actually an orphan from an orphanage!"
She then added, "Because he had no relatives, no one reported him after he disappeared, and no one went to the missing persons database to fill in the information!
So … "
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded deeply. "It's never too late to learn. Is this the same situation in the murder diary case?"
Cui Lizhu asked. "The deceased were all orphans from the orphanage. They were all about 20 years old, so they must have had a friend or a job, right?
"Did no one report them missing?"
"That's hard to say." Zhao Yu sighed and said, "It's possible that not all of them were orphans. Or, were they the kind of people who wouldn't be missed even if they went missing? "
"No, no …" At this time, Zeng Ke hurried back and said, "Liu Weiyi said that he never wrote anything about toenail polish in the book, whether it was on the toes or the fingers!
Also, regarding the appearance and height of the deceased, I really can't remember if he made any specific descriptions! "
"Toenail polish …" Cui Lizhu pouted again. "Boss, I kind of understand what you mean now! Are you suspecting that the toenail polish on the feet of the deceased … was applied by the murderer himself? "
"What the …" Ran Tao was speechless. "Another perverted killer? I think I've seen it in some Hong Kong film … Oh, I'm getting goosebumps … "
"If that's the case," Miao Ying frowned, "then what's the reason?"
At this point, everyone looked up and looked for someone. Obviously, Wu Xiumin, the psychologist, had a better say in this matter.
However, Wu Xiumin was not present at the moment, as she was still investigating the matter of Liu Weiyi's class group.
While everyone was looking for her, Wu Xiumin pushed open the door of the conference room and said to Zhao Yu and the others, "It turns out that you're all here.
"So you are all here. I thought you were in the office!
"Team Leader," she hurried over to Zhao Yu and reported, "I've already checked it out. There's no problem with the class group!"
"Hmm … Are you talking in a tongue twister?" Zhao Yu stuck out his tongue.
"I tracked down the source of that message," Wu Xiumin said. "Among Liu Weiyi's classmates, there was a classmate named Kong Xiaoxue, whose husband was a lecturer at the Journalism Department of the Teacher's College!
After the corpses were found in the garbage chute of the Zhichen Building, her husband also went to the scene, so he knew about the corpses.
Wu Xiumin then added, "Because those who study journalism are more sensitive, her husband kept asking around at the scene. In the end, he heard from one of the collectors that all four of the skeletons were female. Then, he spread the news!
"After all, Kong Xiaoxue's classmates all live in the Zhichen Building, so the news spread to their class group …"
