At one o 'clock in the morning, in the office of the Special Investigation Group …
The night news was playing on the TV.
"… With the two new cases, Manzhou has entered a state of emergency …"
"… This case has attracted the attention of the provincial department and even the whole country. At this moment, a large number of professional criminal investigators are rushing to Manzhou to assist the Criminal Division Special Task Force in the investigation …"
"… according to the experts' estimates, there are more than 3,000 bridges of different sizes in Manzhou City. Since this morning, all the police stations, villages and communities have sent out search teams to search all the bridges in Manzhou City. They are conducting a carpet search …
"… So far, no new cases have been discovered. However, due to the heavy snow blocking the roads, there are still some remote bridges that have not been searched. For this reason, our city has specially set up a search team. Tomorrow, we will expand the search area …
"… Other than that, according to other media reports, it's not just Manchuria. Several cities and towns near Manchuria have also spontaneously organized search teams and begun to search every bridge.
"… The police remind the general public, especially young foreign women, to reduce their outdoor activities and pay attention to their own safety. If they have any difficulties, they can seek help from the nearest police station or community …"
"In addition, the police also appeal to the general public, if anyone knows anything about this case, please provide the police with clues. We will reward you handsomely …"
"Hey …" Zhao Yu turned his face to the other side of the TV screen and said to the mobile phone from a slightly dark corner, "Lan, help me with this!
"This case is really urgent. We haven't found any obvious connections between the victims in Manzhou, but …" Zhao Yu said seriously, "They all came from Kuyaska, Russia. Maybe they have connections in their hometown!
If we can find this connection, it will be of great help to solve the case … "
"Brother-in-law, I've already told you …" Ding Lan yawned and said, "You know my rank. If it was in a city in China, of course I could help!
But, in a foreign country, I don't have the authority to help. I don't understand. Why don't you ask Godfather for help? If you ask him, he can do it easily. "
"That's right!" Zhao Yu said helplessly. "But that old guy won't answer the phone! I don't know where he went. Why don't you help me contact him?
The killer under the bridge is still active. God knows how many people he wants to kill. I have to dig out his roots as soon as possible. "
"Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help you," Ding Lan said helplessly, "If even you can't contact him, then it's even more impossible for me. I can only … try …
"Brother-in-law …" Ding Lan asked curiously, "There's a case in Manchuria. Are we really going to the Russian Far East to find the truth?
"I heard that it's snowing heavily in your area. When it snows, there will be traces. You've killed so many people, yet you still can't catch them?"
"You know how capable your brother-in-law is," Zhao Yu said with a pout. "If the case was so easy to solve, I would have already held a celebration party!
"All the signs indicate that I've run into a tough one. This assassin under the bridge is definitely not simple!"
"Is that so? Can you hide your tracks in the snow? " Ding Lan smacked her lips and suggested, "Brother-in-law, if you're really in a hurry, then … I'll ask Godmother.
"Godmother's connections are not worse than godfather's. Maybe she can use the resources from Kuryak. We are still in Shanghai dealing with the Billionaire Building. I can see her tomorrow morning!"
Well …
Zhao Yu didn't want to owe his mother-in-law a favor, but on second thought, he thought that since he had made such a great contribution in Shanghai, it wouldn't be too much to ask.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Ding Lan, let's not delay any longer. Call my mother-in-law now!"
"Now …" Ding Lan hesitated and said, "Godmother is in poor health and has been suffering from insomnia recently. How about …"
"Well, her phone number hasn't changed, right?" Zhao Yu said. "I'll call her myself!"
"No, forget it," Ding Lan said. "Okay, since you're in a hurry, leave it to me! I'll text you back after I've contacted her … "
"Great! I won't say thank you then," Zhao Yu said happily. "When the case is over, I'll take you shopping!"
"Okay," Ding Lan agreed happily. "I happen to like some clothes …"
"I'll take you shopping. You pay for it yourself … Ha ha ha …" Zhao Yu laughed sinisterly and hung up the phone before his sister-in-law could say anything.
Imagining Ding Lan's cute face when she was angry, Zhao Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
However, the smile only lasted for two seconds, then he stopped and came to the whiteboard.
Because there were so many victims, the whiteboard had been added to five sides. Just like before, Zhao Yu placed the five whiteboards in a circle and stood in the center of the circle.
At this moment, Zeng Ke had hacked into the WeChat account of the fourth victim, Qiu Jinna.
However, he didn't find any information about the other victims in Qiu Jinna's WeChat or WeChat Moments.
Most of Qiu Jinna's WeChat Moments were business partners or clients, and most of the information she posted was related to goods. She rarely posted personal information.
It seemed that Qiu Jinna just used WeChat as a marketing tool.
So, Zhao Yu and the others turned back and began to investigate Qiu Jinna's mobile phone call records and bank transfer records, trying to find clues.
However, there were more than 400 phone numbers in Qiu Jinna's address book, and most of them were clients. So, it would take a lot of time to investigate all of them.
Then, Zeng Ke began to log into the accounts of the other victims and began to busy himself with the investigation.
So far, they hadn't found any connection between the four victims. The only thing they knew now was that the third victim might be Qiu Jinna's cousin.
Also, all four of them came from Kuyaska in the Russian Far East.
Originally, Zhao Yu tried to contact Qiu Jinna's relatives in Kuyaska to ask them about the situation. However, the police couldn't find any of them.
Therefore, Zhao Yu had to call Ding Lan for help.
He thought that since the four victims came from the same city, maybe the reason they were killed now was related to their past.
"Me …" While Zhao Yu was deep in thought, Xi Mengna appeared out of nowhere with a bag of milk in her mouth. She frowned and said, "I feel that these women all have pasts!"
"You …" Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you go to sleep?"
"I couldn't sleep!" Xi Mengna said seriously. "I just wanted to be your assistant! Here … "
Then, she handed Zhao Yu a bag of milk.
"They all have a past …" Zhao Yu took the milk and asked, "Do you mean that these victims all have stories?"
"Yes," Xi Mengna said. "What kind of woman would have a tattoo of a cobra on her body? Did he have an extraordinarily extroverted personality, or … did he belong to a gang?
"Zhao Yu, have you ever thought about it?" Xi Mengna stared at the names of the victims and said, "You haven't been able to find any connection between them. Could it be that they want to hide it?"
"Don't want to be exposed? You mean … "Zhao Yu had already guessed what Xi Mengna was going to say.
"Did these four women do something wrong?" Xi Mengna asked. "Is the person they hurt coming back for revenge?!"
