"Young man, why are you so sad? Why do you keep your head down?
"Who is it that made you so sad? Ask him, it's the driver …"
At noon, a famous Russian song, Three Sets of Cars, was playing in a Chinese restaurant.
The lyrics were melancholy, and the tune was sad, which matched Zhao Yu's mood.
While tasting the delicious stewed fish with pickled vegetables, Zhao Yu fell into deep thought.
Based on his long-term experience in frontline work, Zhao Yu knew that the more critical a situation was, the more he had to remain absolutely calm.
Therefore, he could no longer work so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep. He had to replenish enough energy so that he would have the ability and spirit to deal with everything.
There were so many traces in the snow. How could this case be difficult for you?
What Ding Lan had told him before came to Zhao Yu's mind again.
Yes …
This is a world of ice and snow, so it's impossible for the murderer not to leave any traces. But … Why haven't we found anything yet?
The victim's background and relationship, the crime scene, and the victim's whereabouts when she disappeared … Logically speaking, if we have so much information, the suspect should have surfaced, right?
But, why didn't the investigation meet my expectations?
Is the murderer too clever, or did I miss something important?
Or … The murderer killed for no other reason?
"My father likes this song very much, but he only listens to the original Russian version. I remember going to the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and listening to it live!"
Xi Mengna took a bite of vermicelli and said to Zhao Yu, "Zhao Yu, you didn't sleep much last night. Why don't you take a nap later?
Let me, your assistant, keep an eye on you … "
Zhao Yu squinted at Xi Mengna and said, "Do you really think you're so important? If I go to sleep, what can you do for me? "
"Don't you have your girlfriend? She's so capable. What are you worried about? " Xi Mengna put the vermicelli in her mouth and said seriously, "Zhao Yu, sometimes when I see you now, it's really hard to imagine that you and the Zhao Yu on Miracle Island are the same person!"
"Okay, sis! Just eat your food! " Zhao Yu said. "I don't have time to listen to your nostalgia. When the case is over, we'd better go our separate ways!"
"You … don't have the mood!" Xi Mengna complained, then said bitterly, "Zhao Yu, although many people died in this case, it shouldn't be difficult to solve, right?
"Isn't this … only our second day in Manchuria?"
Zhao Yu ignored her and took a big bite of the fish. It was the famous fat head fish, freshly caught from the frozen lake. It tasted delicious.
"How about this," Xi Mengna said. "If I can help you solve this case, can you consider letting me be your assistant?
"I have nothing now. I have no home to return to. If you have a little bit of love, you should give me this chance, right?"
"You …" Zhao Yu put down his chopsticks and said, "Well, you're just like me when I was young! Then tell me, how will you help me break it? "
"Look …" Xi Mengna said, "Isn't the most obvious point right in front of us? No matter why the murderer killed those four women, he should at least be prepared, right? "
Xi Mengna's words aroused Zhao Yu's interest. Zhao Yu pinched his chin and listened attentively.
"Although they were all women, they were all fighting women!" Xi Mengna's eyes flashed. "It wouldn't be easy for the murderer to kidnap them quietly!
The first victim was a hotel waiter, the second was a dancer, and the fourth lived in the commercial street. These women were surrounded by surveillance cameras.
If the murderer wanted to avoid the cameras and catch them, he would have to follow them to find an opportunity. "
"So, let's take a good look at the surveillance cameras and see if anyone was following them. Then, we'll find something."
"Do you think that I, a world-famous detective, don't know this?" Zhao Yu said. "I sent Ran Tao to do this on the first day!
"The murderer is really careful." Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Either he avoided the cameras, or he disguised himself. So far, we haven't found any suspicious people!"
"What about the foreigners?" Xi Mengna asked. "Didn't I say that the murderer might be a foreigner? Maybe he's also from Kuyaska? Have you looked into it? "
"I asked Captain Chou to summarize all the adult men from Kuyaska in the past five years. Guess what?" Zhao Yu answered his own question. "There were only five who met the criteria!
"Then, guess what?" Zhao Yu gave his own answer. "After secretly investigating the movements of these five people, they were all ruled out!"
"It can't be?" Xi Mengna pouted. "If that's the case, maybe the murderer didn't come from the port? Maybe he came from somewhere else?
Or maybe he's not from Kuyaska? "
"Or …" Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe he's not a foreigner! Or maybe he's not from Earth. Maybe he's an alien? "
Beep beep … Beep beep …
Just then, Zhao Yu's cell phone rang. It was a message from Zeng Ke.
"What's up? What's up? "Xi Mengna asked excitedly." Is there any new news? "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Zeng Ke has found the identity of the third victim. Hurry up and eat. We have to go back!"
"Then …" Xi Mengna pointed to the table of food and said, "You go back first. I'll pack up. Your girlfriends haven't eaten yet!"
"Your Mandarin still needs to be improved." Zhao Yu took his clothes and said, "You make it sound like I have a lot of girlfriends …"
…
A few minutes later, Zhao Yu returned to the office.
As soon as he entered, Zeng Ke quickly reported, "Her name is Zhuo Ya.
"Her name is Zoya, and she is indeed from Kuiask. She entered the country in July last year …" Zeng Ke said, holding the documents. "Customs found her immigration information, and the security officers were impressed by the cobra on her neck."
Zhao Yu opened the information and saw Zhuo Ya's photo. Zhuo Ya was very beautiful, but there was an inherent coldness in her eyes.
"This person is 28 years old and unemployed," Zeng Ke said. "So far, we haven't found any domestic phone numbers or online accounts registered with her information.
But, Captain Chou's people have found that Zhuo Ya often goes to the Victory Hotel! "
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was stunned. "The Victory Hotel? Isn't the first victim, Eliza, a waitress at the Victory Hotel? "
"Yes," Zeng Ke said. "Captain Chou's people are still investigating. I told Xiao Cui, and she said that she would go to the hotel in the afternoon …"
Zhao Yu then said to Zeng Ke, "Check Eliza's contact list and her online information. See if you can find any information about Zhuo Ya!
And … And … And the second victim, the one from the dance group!
"Why do I feel that these four women are very close?"
"Yes …" Zeng Ke quickly went to check.
Zhao Yu walked quickly to the whiteboard and wrote down the name of the third victim, Zhuo Ya.
Victory Hotel …
The woman with the cobra tattoo, Zhuo Ya, the bold and unrestrained divorced woman, Qiujinna, the 19-year-old waitress, Eliza, and Yelena from the dance group … What do these four women from Kuyaska do?
