That night, in the office of the Special Investigation Group.
Other than Cui Lizhu, the rest of the team was there, discussing the case of the mysterious female corpse.
"I didn't expect that it would involve an old case from 34 years ago …" Ran Tao murmured, "Moreover, it also involves a master of national studies and the president of the publishing house …"
"Team Leader," Zeng Ke said as he turned on the big screen and pointed at a map. "This is the city map of Kunyang 34 years ago. The places marked out in red are Su Ruohua's route to work!
Zeng Ke pointed to the map and said, "Back then, it would have taken about 25 minutes to travel by bike. Su Ruohua left at 7: 50 am and has been missing ever since. So … She could have disappeared at any point along the route!"
"I think …" Miao Ying pondered and said, "It's basically impossible to look through the old files and find clues from the journey!
"The only hope now is to find out the murderer's motive through Su Ruohua's connections! Of course … "Miao Ying pointed at the whiteboard." There is also Jing Jiang. How to trace the source of the corpse is also the key to solving the case! "
"So …" Wu Xiumin shrugged and said, "Team Leaders, do you mean that we are really going to take over the Frozen Female Corpses Case?
"Then … what about the livestream?"
"Yeah," Ran Tao agreed. "After all, the frozen female corpse is an old case, but the live broadcast of the murder is happening now!"
"The livestream murder case has always been our focus!" Zhao Yu said, "We still have to follow our original plan to find the killer!
"But …" He pointed at the big screen and said, "The Female Corpses Case is quite bizarre. Such a complicated and high-level case suits my taste better!"
"I just contacted the Criminal Division," Miao Ying said. "They also asked us to investigate this case. If the case is too complicated, they will send another task force!"
"Don't worry, Sis Wu," Zhao Yu said. "I'll only send Miao Ying to investigate the female corpse for the time being. You and Tao only need to focus on the live broadcast of the murder case!"
"Okay!" Wu Xiumin nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'd better not be distracted! I'm going to investigate the suspect so that we won't mix the two cases together … "
"Alright!" Zhao Yu agreed.
Wu Xiumin turned around and walked to her desk.
At this time, Zeng Ke thought of something and said to Zhao Yu and Miao Ying, "Team Leaders, regarding the female corpse, can we start with freezing it?
"Think about it, it's not easy to freeze a person for 34 years without changing their appearance, right?"
"Hmm …" Zhao Yu pondered and nodded. "Indeed, this is indeed an idea!"
"Peipei said that Su Ruohua was frozen with chemicals," Miao Ying said. "They suspect that Su Ruohua was planned and prepared to be frozen!"
"Ah?" Zeng Ke was surprised and asked, "What chemical composition?"
"It's a hydroxyethyl substance," Miao Ying replied. "It's said that it's a specialized freezing preservative!"
"I know!" "In order to maintain the activity of the cold meat, this substance is often used in the cold storage."
"Cold storage?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened. "For 34 years, Su Ruohua has been frozen in the cold storage? With those cold fresh meat sellers? "
"Zhao Yu," Miao Ying reminded him, "I said before that I smelled a fishy smell on the female corpse, but you said that it was the smell of the coroner's room …"
"Fishy smell … Is it?" Zhao Yu frowned and said, "But … If it's the cold storage, there are so many people going in and out every day, and … 34 years!"
"It's definitely not a large cold storage," Miao Ying speculated. "The larger the cold storage, the more people go in and out! In my opinion, it can only be a small cold storage, or a private cold storage … "
"Is this easy to investigate?" Zhao Yu looked at Zeng Ke.
"I'm not sure!" Zeng Ke shook his head and said, "I have to … I have to consult the local industrial and commercial department!"
"Look …" Zhao Yu seemed to have grasped something, as he shook his arms and said, "The murderer from 34 years ago must be quite old now, right?
"This person owns a cold storage, or is in frequent contact with cold storage, and has been in contact with cold storage for 34 years. Such a person shouldn't be too difficult to investigate, right?"
"But the scope is a big problem," Miao Ying said. "There is a certain distance between Kun and Jingjiang. Although Su Ruohua disappeared from Kun, she might not have been frozen in Kun!
"Well, if the corpse was thrown off a ship that passed by Jingjiang! Then, the ship could have come from anywhere up and down Jingjiang … "
"Ship! Ship … You reminded me! " Zhao Yu's eyes widened and he said excitedly to Zeng Ke, "Zeng Ke, can you check if there is a ship with a cold storage?
"A ship is a private space, so what if the cold storage is in the ship? Then, the corpse would have been frozen for 34 years without anyone knowing, right? "
"Mm …" Zeng Ke quickly typed on the keyboard. "Let me check!"
"Yes …" Miao Ying said. "Maybe it was a cargo ship that transported cold meat and fish all year round. With these things as a cover, no one would be able to find out …"
"There should be such a ship, right?"
"Jingjiang …" Zhao Yu looked at the map and muttered to himself, "Does Jingjiang flow through Kun? It seems … Tsk tsk … "He moved closer to the map and said," I can't see it clearly! "
"Why don't we …" Ran Tao suggested. "Ask Captain Shi! He is a local, so he must know more than us! "
Just as Ran Tao finished speaking, Captain Shi entered the office, looking travel-worn and dusty.
"Hey!" Ran Tao quickly pulled him to him. "Speak of the devil! I was just talking about you, and now you're here!"
"Leader Zhao," Captain Shi said, panting. "I just heard about the female corpse. Is it really a female corpse from 34 years ago?
"The frozen woman should be in her sixties?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu said, then quickly asked the previous question, "Captain Shi, does Jingjiang flow through Kun?"
"Ah?" Captain Shi was stunned and said, "Yes! A tributary of Jingjiang flows through the center of Kun. We call it Fugui River. Why do you ask? "
Oh?
Zhao Yu hurried to the old map and checked the relationship between Fugui River and Su Ruohua's route to work. He wanted to know if the murderer had taken her by boat when he kidnapped her.
"Captain Shi," Miao Ying asked again, "is there a boat on Jingjiang that comes with its own cold storage?"
"Ah? Well … "Captain Shi grinned and said," I can ask for you. I've never been on a boat, so I'm not sure! "
"Okay! Then … "Miao Ying suddenly remembered something important and asked," You came here so late. Did you find anything about the video case? "
"No, no …" Captain Shi shook his head and said, "There are no clues about any of the three cases! I'm so anxious! "
"Three cases?" Ran Tao was stunned. "Did I hear that right? Oh … I remember. There's also the Xiaoyao Mountain case, right? Why? Isn't that case strange? "
"Yes!" Captain Shi said. "The local police checked all the recent missing persons reports, but none of them matched. It's been so long, but they still haven't figured out the identities of the two people!"
