In 1979 … A video appeared on the computer. It was the video of the old lady providing clues at the police station. "Red Flag Town was livelier than it is now. The workers of the third oil production plant lived there!
And I was one of the few non-workers. My old man was in the maintenance team. I didn't have a job, so I followed him here … "Zhao Yu said.
"The higher-ups took good care of me. They let me find a job in the hostel. It was just to wash the quilts and hang the sheets. It was quite easy …"
"During the year I was working in the hostel, I met a woman in red …"
Watching the video, Zhao Yu watched it carefully. It was as if the old lady's story, even if it had nothing to do with the case, was still very interesting …
"There were four of them, all young girls. They came from the south to sell oil and gas accessories, such as valves, elbows, and pipe fittings. So, they stayed in the hostel …" Zhao Yu said.
"Usually, the people who stayed in the hostel were people who came to study and train. When there was no training, there were almost no guests."
"So, the four girls left a deep impression on me …"
"Then … Then …" In the video, the police officer asked. Obviously, the police officer couldn't control his temper.
"Then … The other three girls left, and the girl who liked to wear red stayed in the hotel for more than a month …" Zhao Yu said.
"Then … She also left …"
"This …" The police officer looked helpless. "That's it? Is that all? "
"No, no, no …" The old lady quickly said. "When the girl in red left, a group of police detectives came to the hostel and asked me where the girl in red went …"
Huh?
Hearing this news, Zhao Yu's eyes widened.
"But," the old lady continued, "they just asked some questions, then left. They didn't give any details, but I could tell that one of the police officers was obviously from the south, and had a strong southern accent …"
"So, I wondered if something had happened to the girl in red."
"The girl in red, what kind of clothes was she wearing? Her height, weight, appearance, and, of course, her name. Do you remember? "the police officer asked.
"I don't know her name," the old lady shook her head. "I'm just a handyman, not a receptionist. In short, the girl in red was very beautiful. Her height was not bad, and she was a bit taller than me. She stood out in the crowd …
"Oh … there's also the dress. It's very simple, just a red dress with a red belt around the waist. There's a flower on the belt …
"Also … Hmm … His hair was very long, black and shiny, and he wore a hair clip …"
"Then …" The police officers asked in detail, "Do you remember if she paid the bill when she left?"
"Yes, yes …" the old lady said quickly. "She has her luggage! When he left, he even said goodbye to me happily … "
"Alright, we've noted down everything you've said," the policeman said. "We'll report it to our superiors …"
"Okay, okay, I hope … I can help you …" With that, the old lady turned around and left the police station.
"Just … just like that?" Zhao Yu glanced at Xi Mengna. "How could a girl in red from 1979 be related to Chi Meixin? Chi Meixin doesn't like to wear red clothes … "
"Shh …" Xi Mengna shushed him, then pointed at the computer screen. The old lady, who had just left, came back.
"Police officer, I was so nervous just now that I almost forgot about my business!" The old lady came up to the policeman and added, "I heard about the female worker who was killed under the bridge …"
"There's one thing I have to tell you. The dormitory that the female worker is living in now is the original hostel in Hongqi Town!
She said that she saw a woman in red by the lake. Do you think … Did she encounter something unclean? "
Seeing this, Zhao Yu covered his face. He could not help but have goosebumps on his arms.
Seeing this, Xi Mengna stopped the video and turned to Zhao Yu.
"Team Leader, I feel the same way. I don't believe in evil either … But …" Xi Mengna hesitated for a moment, then said, "We just sent someone to contact the old lady again and asked her in detail about the situation of the girl in red!
"Guess what?"
"What …" Zhao Yu furrowed his eyebrows. "What happened?"
"The second room on the west side of the second floor …" Xi Mengna said solemnly. "The room that the girl in red lived in is now Chi Meixin's dormitory!"
"Holy sh * t!" Zhao Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He then waved his hand and said, "Don't you think that's a bit unbelievable? What is this? Possessed by a ghost?
"If possessed by a ghost, then the case at least looks like a suicide. Chi Meixin couldn't have strangled herself to death, right? "
"Boss, boss …" At this time, Ran Tao came out from behind the whiteboard and said, "Have you forgotten about the murder diary from the Normal College so quickly?
"Wasn't the student who smashed the garbage with a hammer also possessed by a ghost?"
"Damn you!" Zhao Yu shook his head. "That was just a coincidence! That child only talked nonsense to increase the sense of mystery … "
"Besides … That's two different things!"
Beep beep … Beep beep …
While talking, Zhao Yu saw his phone ring. It was his girlfriend, Miao Ying.
"Hello!" After answering, Miao Ying's voice came through the phone. "Zhao Yu, what's going on? You were snoring just now, and I just took a shower, and you disappeared without a trace? "
"Oh … Oh … It's you!" Zhao Yu then remembered that he was at the hotel and quickly asked, "Why are you back so soon? Has everything been settled on Hila? "
"The case took place in Manchuria, so the press conference will naturally be held in Manchuria," Miao Ying said. "Didn't you already set the schedule?"
"Oh … Yes!" Zhao Yu slapped his forehead. He then remembered that the press conference was going to be held tomorrow morning, but he still hadn't figured out anything about the Third Oil Production Plant case!
It seemed that he could only clarify the situation of the Female Corpses Under the Bridge Case first.
"Okay," Miao Ying said over the phone. "I'm going over now. Let's talk about it when we meet!"
Then, Miao Ying hung up the phone.
"Then …" Zhao Yu pointed to the whiteboard, which was full of English, and asked Xi Mengna, "Are there any other clues? Something important? "
"It's hard to say …" Xi Mengna said cautiously. "Some people said that the old man in the boiler room was mentally ill, but we have already verified it …"
"Some people also said that someone was targeting the factory, and that more workers might have been killed …"
"F * ck, that's pure rumor! It's better to be possessed by a ghost! "
"Yeah!" Xi Mengna said. "Section Chief Liu was so scared that he quickly contacted the security department, and they sent more people to strengthen the security of the factory and Hongqi Town. It made everyone anxious …"
"Sigh!" Zhao Yu scratched his head and said gloomily, "It seems that my plan to solve the case is going to fail! I thought that there were only so many people in the factory, so no secret could be hidden … "
"Team … Team Leader …" Just as Zhao Yu was feeling depressed, Wu Xiumin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up and said with uncertainty, "I think that your method of offering a reward to solve the case might not have failed!
"I … I might have … found a suspect …"
