"I've already confirmed this," Wu Xiumin said. "The problem is indeed on our side. We didn't block the news very strictly!"
"A journalism teacher?" Zhao Yu murmured. "Since he's Kong Xiaoxue's husband, is he also familiar with He Yang Teacher?"
"There shouldn't be a problem with this person," Wu Xiumin answered affirmatively. "The reason why I came back so late was to confirm this person's identity!
"He went to university in the capital and didn't go to He Yang Teacher. Also …" Wu Xiumin continued, "This person is already an authority in Chengzhou in terms of news. He often participates in training and is very famous in the industry!
Moreover, he has a keen sense for news. Our police officers are no match for him at all. It's not surprising that he got the news! "
"Fortunately …" Cui Lizhu smacked her lips. "He only expressed his opinion in the class group. If he really publicized it to the media, it would affect our investigation!"
"It's okay," Wu Xiumin said. "I just told his wife, Kong Xiaoxue, and her classmates … Actually, even if he really publicized the news to the media, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to do anything to him!"
"It doesn't matter," Zhao Yu said calmly. "We've already released a notice to identify the corpses, which means that the news of the discovery of the four female corpses from He Yang Teacher's Fan Zhizhen Building has already spread!
"It doesn't affect our case!"
"Team Leader," Wu Xiumin said. "After the 3D portraits came out, I've already asked all of Liu Weiyi's classmates. None of them knew the deceased!
"It should have nothing to do with the students in their school …"
"Do you think …" Cui Lizhu suddenly had an idea. "Back then, when the murderer brought a strange woman into the school, wouldn't the security guards have noticed something?"
"At that time, the school was on summer vacation, so the security guards might have some impression of it.
If … We find the security guards at that time, will we … "
"It's been more than twenty years!" Ran Tao clicked his tongue. "Whether the security guards at that time are still alive is a question!"
"Boss always says that as long as there's a glimmer of hope, we have to fight for it!" Cui Lizhu said firmly. "Sometimes, what people see in a flash may not be forgotten for the rest of their lives! Maybe we can find something?
Cui Lizhu said. "Anyway, my job is done now. In this case, leave the security guards to me!
"I'll contact the school now and ask them to give me a list of the security guards. I'll look for them one by one!"
Previously, Zhao Yu had sent Cui Lizhu to investigate Liu Weiyi and Nie Ya. Through the investigation, they had basically ruled out the possibility that the couple had participated in the murder.
So, Cui Lizhu had completed her task.
"Mm …" Zhao Yu sighed and said, "Alright! You can give it a try, but … I can help you narrow down the range! "
"Cui Lizhu?" Scope? "Cui Lizhu asked." What scope? "
"Since Liu Weiyi's suspicions have been eliminated, we can make a simple hypothesis," Zhao Yu said. "Back then, Liu Weiyi wrote 'My Secret' during the summer vacation of 1997, the year of the National University Games.
"Then, in the winter of his sophomore year, he lost his manuscript. In other words, if the murderer had gotten his manuscript and wanted to kill him, he could only do it during the winter or summer break of the following year!
Then, he lost the manuscript in the winter of his sophomore year. So, if the murderer got his manuscript and was ready to kill him, he could only do it during the winter or summer vacation!
"Also, Zhang said that female corpse No. 2 and female corpse No. 3 were in the same year, so it should be 1999. Now, it has been found that female corpse No. 4 and female corpse No. 5 were in the same year, so it should be 2000!
Zhao Yu said, "So, when you go to investigate, focus on the past three years!"
"Oh …" Cui Lizhu nodded.
"It was summer!" Zhang Peipei suddenly added. "We found the remains of a kind of scavenging bacteria on the bones of the previous four victims. This bacteria will only be active when the temperature is higher than 20 degrees.
So, the first four victims can be determined to have been killed in the hot summer! But, the fifth one is buried deep in the soil, so it's not easy to make an effective judgment. But, according to the degree of decay of the bones, it should be the same year as female corpse No. 4. "
"Okay, I understand." Cui Lizhu nodded. "I'll ask Captain Mou for a few people to come with me later!"
"From 1998 to 2000, he killed five people in three years!" Ran Tao counted with his fingers. "This person … Is he one year younger than Liu Weiyi? Isn't he their classmate?
"In other words," Ran Tao said with a frown. "My previous efforts were in vain? I focused all my attention on Liu Weiyi's classmate? "
"Huh?" Cui Lizhu slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Brother Tao, did you eat platinum? Your thinking today is very strange! "
"Come on, let's do some calculations!" Ran Tao picked up a pen and wrote on the paper. "Liu Weiyi lost his manuscript in the winter of his sophomore year. After that, there were homicides for three consecutive years.
"Then, let's assume that a freshman picked up his manuscript. Then, according to the manuscript, this person killed people in the summer of his sophomore year!
"After that, he killed two people in the summer of his junior year, and two more in his senior year?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu crossed his arms and said, "We've discussed this issue before. It doesn't make sense for him to kill people in the summer of his senior year!
"In April of that year, they had already ended their school careers and went to various places for internships.
"If this person is still in school … Wouldn't it be easy to find out?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Team Leader," Zeng Ke suddenly said, "while you were discussing, I secretly checked. The students who were one year younger than Liu Weiyi did not live in the Zhichen Building!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu was surprised. "They didn't live in the Zhichen Building?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke said. "The records clearly show that because the Zhichen Building was remodeled from a teaching building, there were classrooms on the third floor, which was not very convenient. So, the school built another dormitory. After Liu Weiyi's year, there were only sports students left in the Zhichen Building!"
"Wow," Ran Tao said with a smile. "Sports students love to cause trouble. Our school also lets them live alone. Hahaha …"
"Sports students?" Zhao Yu asked. "In other words, the person who picked up Liu Weiyi's manuscript was a sports student?"
"The situation is a bit messy," Zeng Ke said. "There are sports students who are specially recruited. Their dormitory is different from other departments, as they are all mixed up. There are students of different grades in the dormitory!"
"That's troublesome!" Zhao Yu shook his head. "I remember that the school was very sure that no students stayed alone in the Zhichen Building during the summer vacation!
"Could it be that we were heading in the wrong direction?!"
"Wrong?" Ran Tao scratched his head. "What do you mean?"
"The murderer who stole or picked up Liu Weiyi's manuscript and then killed people according to it …" Zhao Yu said in surprise. "He Yang College's student?!"
