"Here, this is the information reported in September 2001. Because the information was incomplete, the investigation was fruitless, but …" Captain Mou placed the information in front of Zhao Yu and said, "Take a closer look at this information. It seems to be very similar to the victim in the murder diary!"
Zhao Yu took the file and looked at it carefully.
Captain Mou said, "The person who reported the case was a female doctor who worked in the hospital. She reported that she rented her old house to a female tenant, but she hadn't seen the tenant for a long time!"
Captain Mou said, "The female tenant had paid half a year's rent, which was far from due. So, the female doctor was worried that the tenant was in danger, so she called the police!"
Captain Mou opened a copy of the file and said, "This is a copy of the rent contract from that year. According to the rent, the tenant's name was Xin Lili, and her ID number was left on it."
Captain Mou then added, "But, after the police investigated the missing person's report, they found that the ID number was fake. Later, the case was never closed. We are looking for the policeman who handled the case that year to verify the information! "
"Also, look here." Captain Mou pointed to another piece of information and said, "The landlord's description of the missing person is on it. She said that the missing person claimed to be a college student, only 20 years old, with a round face and a short stature.
"This description seems to match the victim in the murder diary case. Could she be one of the victims?"
Ran Tao pinched his chin and said, "It does look a little similar. But, didn't we check it out? There was no case of a college student going missing in the university in Chengzhou! "
"Your brain is really rusty," Cui Lizhu said. "Didn't you see that the woman's name and ID number were fake?
"In my opinion, this woman is not a college student at all. The reason why she didn't want to reveal her real information was that she was engaged in illegal activities, such as the special occupation that boss has always been suspicious of!"
"Illegal activities?" Ran Tao said. "Then, this woman's disappearance couldn't be more normal. She might not be the victim in this case, right?
Maybe she was forced to pay her debt by her creditors, so she ran away? "
Captain Mou said, "This detective is right. There are many similar cases like this, not to mention in the past, but even now!
"But, we found the words' university student ', and the age and height match. This is the most consistent with the Murder Diary Case among all the records!
"So, we need to check it out!"
"Yes," Zhao Yu nodded. "We can't let go of any clues! Captain Mou, can you find the landlord who reported the case? "
"Yes, I have found it!" Captain Mou said, "The phone number of the informant is on it. We found out that this lady is now the deputy director of Chengzhou Maternity Hospital!
"What do you think? Should we call her or go see her in person?"
"Hmm …" Zhao Yu pondered for a moment. "This kind of thing has to be discussed face to face. Send someone to talk to her first!"
"Okay!" Captain Mou nodded and went to make the call.
"Boss," Cui Lizhu said to Zhao Yu, "2001? We speculated that the murderer committed the crime between 1998 and 2000. If it was 2001, could it be the skeleton buried under the big banyan tree?"
Zhao Yu said, "Medical examiner Zhang said that the skeleton can only tell the approximate age, not the exact year, and …" Zhao Yu said, "There are many such reports, so it may not necessarily match the case we are investigating."
"I remember that Medical examiner Zhang said that female corpse number four in the garbage lane and female corpse number five under the big banyan tree were buried not far apart. They may have been buried in the same year!
So, even if it is really the missing woman, it may be female corpse number four! "
"It's too early to say these things," Zhao Yu said. "I think we should wait until we confirm it!"
At this time, Captain Mou came back from the phone and said to Zhao Yu, "Leader Zhao, I just got in touch with the deputy director. The deputy director went to Jinping for a meeting and won't be back until the day after tomorrow!
"So … You see … The case is urgent," Captain Mou said. "Let's have a video chat!"
…
Fifteen minutes later, a female doctor in a white coat appeared on the screen. It was the landlord from back then.
She was in her fifties. She was slightly plump, but looked hale and hearty.
"Yes, I can still remember the girl's appearance. She looks like …" The female doctor pointed to the picture on her mobile phone and said, "She looks like this girl. She has a beauty mole at the corner of her right eye, and she has two dimples when she smiles. She looks very sunny …"
Captain Mou had sent the 3D images of the five girls to the female doctor for her to identify. At this moment, the picture that appeared on her mobile phone was that of the victim number five!
Wow …
The female doctor's words immediately made Zhao Yu and the others excited. Unexpectedly, after so many twists and turns, they had finally found the victim's information.
"But …" The female doctor said cautiously, "I can only say that they look very similar, but I can't be completely sure. In fact, I only met the girl a few times!"
"I understand," Zhao Yu said. "Can you tell me the details? Does she have any friends or anything like that? What else do you know about her? "
"Very little …" The female doctor recalled seriously, then said, "Back then, when my husband and I bought a new house, we rented out our wedding house. She was our first tenant!
"Then … Um …" The female doctor said, "She lived in our house for half a year. At first, she paid the rent quarterly. After two quarters, she felt that it was too troublesome, so she paid another six months' worth of rent!"
"I'm a warm-hearted person. Seeing that she was so straightforward, I just erased the number …"
"After she paid the rent for half a year, in September, the electricity meter in the community was upgraded. I went to the rental house to look for her, but I couldn't find her …"
"Then, our neighbor said that the girl hadn't returned to the rental house for a long time, so the neighbors thought that she had canceled the lease!"
"From then on, I realized that something was wrong, so I quickly contacted my husband, and we went to the police station to report the case!"
"At that time, we didn't think too much about it, because we were afraid that she might be in danger …"
"But, unexpectedly, the police told us that the ID number she left behind was actually fake …" The female doctor continued, "The police also interviewed a lot of people at that time, but because there was too little information, they couldn't find anything in the end …"
"I remember that we were worried about her for a period of time, so we left the house untouched …"
"It wasn't until the lease period was over that we simply cleaned it up and rented it to someone else …"
"Then …" Zhao Yu quickly asked, "When you cleaned up the house, did you find anything unusual?"
