Seven in the morning.
Nanyun Province, Jingjiang City.
There was a mist rising from the surface of Jingjiang. The mist was humid, as if the entire riverside had been dyed into a classical ink painting. The distant mountains were looming, and the ancient temple was leisurely.
Woof woof …
There were several barks coming from somewhere along the riverside. As the hounds appeared, a man wearing a sanitation worker uniform, holding a special long-handled garbage pliers, was picking up garbage by the riverside.
This place was very close to the ancient temple of Jingjiang. There were many tourists passing by here on weekdays. There was a trash can every few dozen meters along the path, but there were still people casually throwing away garbage.
The sanitation workers had to clean up every day, and they could clean up a lot of garbage every day …
"Woof … woof woof …"
When the sanitation worker walked along the riverside path, his dog suddenly barked in the direction of the riverside, as if it had found something …
"What's wrong?" The sanitation worker noticed the abnormality of his dog. He hurried to the railing and looked into the water.
Under the lingering smoke, he vaguely saw a white thing.
Hey?
What was that?
Out of curiosity, the sanitation worker leaned out of the railing. As the mist dissipated, he suddenly saw that on the sand and stones by the riverside, there was a person!!!
It should be a woman. From the railing, he could see that the woman had a head of beautiful black hair, and her whole body was wet, as if she had drowned …
"What … what's going on …" The sanitation worker hurriedly took out his phone, wanting to call for help.
But as soon as he took out his phone, he suddenly thought, Could this person still be alive?
Thinking of this, he quickly climbed over the railing and walked toward the riverside.
"Woof … woof …"
The dog didn't know what its owner was going to do, and it kept barking on the path.
Along the gravel riverbed, the sanitation worker came to the woman who had drowned.
He saw that the woman was wearing a white sweater, a black skirt, and an unusually old black leather shoe.
"Hey? Ouch … "After coming closer, the sanitation worker suddenly felt an inexplicable chill!
When he looked carefully again, he found that the woman was actually emitting white gas!
The white gas was steaming, mixed with the water mist, as if she had been steamed by something …
"How … how could this be?" The sanitation worker was a little timid. He had never seen such a drowning person.
However, as he was eager to save her, he stretched out his hand and flipped the woman over.
"Burying Powder (Surprise)!"
The sanitation worker was shocked, because when he touched the woman's body, he found that the woman's body was extremely cold, as if what was stuck to her clothes was not water, but ice …
When the woman turned over, the sanitation worker's eyes suddenly widened. He saw that the woman was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that it could take one's breath away!
However, the woman's eyes were wide open, and her pupils were already dilated …
…
At the same time, at the Kun Yang Police Station, Zhao Yu and the others had returned from investigating the scene and were setting up a temporary office.
Captain Shi had already received the order to prepare the case whiteboard for Zhao Yu.
Of course, because everyone had just gotten off the plane in the middle of the night, they hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet. So, he had arranged a sumptuous breakfast for them — soy milk, fried dough sticks, and all kinds of side dishes!
While everyone was having breakfast, Zhao Yu had already assigned tasks to everyone according to their specialties.
Miao Ying was still in charge of controlling the overall situation. She was in charge of dealing with the local leaders, the Public Affairs Department of the police station, and various media outlets.
There was no need to say much about Zhang Peipei. On one hand, she presided over the autopsy, and on the other hand, she went to the scene to collect suspicious information.
Ran Tao was in charge of investigating the whereabouts of the murderer.
Wu Xiumin was in charge of the psychological profile of the criminal based on the video data from the live broadcast of the murder scene.
Zeng Ke and Cui Lizhu were mainly in charge of investigating the interpersonal relationships of the victim, Xu Youran. Zeng Ke investigated her internal information, such as her bank account, communication status, online chats, and so on.
Cui Lizhu went to the field to personally investigate those who had a relationship with Xu Youran!
Zhao Yu told Zeng Ke and Cui Lizhu that their investigation was very important, so he asked them to focus on those who often gave props to the female streamer, Xu Youran, in order to ask her out for a meal!
This kind of person, because of Xu Youran's constant rejection, could turn his love into hatred!
He also specifically asked Cui Lizhu to ask Xu Youran's loyal fans to see if there had been any special circumstances in the live broadcast room.
After the briefing, everyone had more or less finished their breakfast. Soon, the tense and busy investigation officially began.
"Police Officer Zhao," Captain Shi said to Zhao Yu, holding a report. "Yesterday, we focused on investigating the criminal's route to Xu Youran's house and his escape route after the murder.
We found that on the east side of the woods where Xu Youran's house is, about a ten-minute walk away, is the famous Guyuan Street Shopping Market in Kun Yang. There are tens of thousands of tourists there every day.
We suspect that the murderer either came from the Guyuan Street Shopping Market, or he changed his clothes there … "
He then added, "As you know, although the murderer was wearing a costume and a mask, if he appeared in such a market, he wouldn't attract too much attention!
In the market, there are many shops that ask their staff to wear strange clothes in order to attract tourists. "
Zhao Yu said, "But, there are cameras everywhere in the shopping market! I saw the woods today, and there were a lot of people in the woods! "
He then added, "If I were a criminal, as soon as I entered the woods, I would take off my clothes, mask, and axe in a backpack that I had prepared in advance!"
He then added, "Also, the woods are accessible from all directions, so I could also prepare a means of transportation in advance. Even a bicycle would help me escape smoothly.
I don't think there was any need for him to go to the shopping market … "
"Oh …" Captain Shi understood. "Then, I'll focus on investigating everyone who left that area during that time period."
"I'm afraid …" Zhao Yu said. "We have to check the shopping market!"
"Understood!" Captain Shi said. "I'll send more people!"
"Not only the cameras," Zhao Yu said. "It's best to do a scene investigation. After the murderer killed someone, his mask and clothes were spattered with blood. If someone saw it, it would definitely attract attention.
I don't believe that the murderer could kill someone in front of the live video without leaving any traces … "Captain Shi said.
"Yes! You can rest assured, "Captain Shi said." We will do our best to find this guy! "
Beep beep … Beep beep …
At that moment, Captain Shi's mobile phone rang. He quickly went outside to answer it.
After answering for four or five minutes, he returned to the office and reported to Zhao Yu, "Police Officer Zhao, we just received news from Jingjiang!
This morning, a strange female corpse was found by the river near the parking lot of Jingjiang Ancient Temple! "
"Oh?" Zhao Yu was surprised. "What do you mean by a strange female corpse?"
"The female corpse was wearing clothes from the 1980s, and … It seemed that she had been frozen, as her whole body was emitting white smoke …" Captain Shi said.
"Emitting white smoke? Clothes from the 1980s? "Zhao Yu felt a little confused.
"Leader Zhao," Captain Shi said. "We are worried that this woman is also a live streamer! Wearing clothes from the 1980s, it's very nostalgic … "
"Oh …" Zhao Yu understood and asked, "Have you found out her identity?"
