In the middle of the night, in the office of the special investigation group, Miao Ying was trying to persuade Zhao Yu.
"Your case has made some progress, so you should rest well tonight! Just leave one person on duty here! "
However, Zhao Yu stood in front of the whiteboard, deep in thought, and ignored Miao Ying.
"As long as we find the partner in the suit," Miao Ying said, "your case will be half solved! Why are you in such a hurry? "
"I'm thinking …" Zhao Yu pointed at the date on the whiteboard and said, "The days when these people disappeared! There seems to be a problem! "
"Oh?" Miao Ying asked. "What problem?"
"You see," Zhao Yu said. "Zhang Yuyin was the first to be captured by the murderer, and he was also the first to be released! You can call it abandonment or release, but in short, the murderer released him! "
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Qu Xiaohua was the second to be captured, and now, he's the second to be released! And he's still alive … "Zhao Yu said." So … Peng Zhengyi was the third to be captured. Does that mean … the murderer will also release him next? "
"Mm …" Miao Ying nodded. "Theoretically, that's possible!"
"Kidnapping these people in order, releasing them in the same order." Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows. "Is there no other reason for this?"
"What are you trying to say?" Miao Ying asked. "Is it like the female corpse under the bridge, where the murderer captures the person he hates the most?"
"No … I just think that there might be a reason for this!" Zhao Yu said. "This pattern is also what the murderer wants to express!
Just like … just like how he released the people in Xiaoyao Mountain! "
"Okay!" Miao Ying said. "Maybe your speculation is right, but the most direct way is right in front of us. We just need to find the man in the suit, and we'll know everything …"
"Fifteen years!" Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed. "Including Bai Wenhai's daughter, there are five people! For the murderer to want to imprison these five people for 15 years without anyone knowing, it doesn't seem to be an easy task, right? "
"Mm, that makes sense," Miao Ying said. "The murderer must at least have a place to imprison them without anyone interfering!"
"I just don't know how far this place is from Xiaoyao Mountain!" "Five people disappeared at the same time, so why didn't the police notice it at the time?"
"Maybe, after they went their separate ways, they didn't contact each other anymore?" Miao Ying guessed. "Qu Xiaohua went missing in Bao Shan, which is 600 kilometers away from Kang Le.
"Also, Peng Zhengyi's life was miserable. His disappearance did not attract any attention …
"As for Bai Wenhai's parents, they disappeared in a car accident. The police mistakenly thought that it was the driver who caused the accident, so it was hard to consider other aspects …"
"Yeah …" Zhao Yu let out a long sigh. "It's been a long time since they met! I wonder if we can find this man in a suit! "
"Definitely! This isn't like you. "Miss Miao smiled." Our great detective Zhao is invincible. How can there be a case that he can't solve? "
"Hehe …" Zhao Yu replied with a silly smile, then said, "I just hope that the case can be solved quickly and the rest of the prisoners can be rescued!"
"If … they are still alive!"
"Mm …" Miao Ying nodded thoughtfully. "Hopefully, they are still alive!"
"Then …" Zhao Yu pointed at the whiteboard and asked, "How are things on your side? Is there any progress? "
"Well …" Miao Ying shook her head and said, "There is, but there isn't much progress!
"I sent people to the upper and lower reaches of Jing River to ask around, but the answer we got was the same!" Miao Ying said. "There are very few boats on Jing River with cold storage!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened. "So … it's not a boat?"
"It's hard to say," Miao Ying said. "The boatman told us that some of Jing River's waterways are too narrow for big boats, so there won't be any boats with cold storage!"
"Really?" Zhao Yu asked. "If it's not cold storage, would a freezer work too?"
"A freezer can't hold much fish!" Miao Ying said. "Zhao Yu, regarding this case, I think we need to change our way of thinking!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu asked. "What way?"
"Maybe we're taking the cold storage too seriously!" Miao Ying said. "Gao Forensics gave us a test report this morning, and they found a suspicious fiber in the ice on the female corpse!
"This fiber is made of some kind of felt!" Miao Ying said. "The characteristic of this felt is that it's thick and insulating. It's usually used when transporting frozen goods!"
"Huh? Insulating … "Zhao Yu pondered and said," So … the frozen female corpse might have been wrapped in felt to prevent the ice from melting? "
"Yes!" Miao Ying said. "So, we now have a speculation that someone deliberately threw the frozen female corpse into the river!
"Maybe he was on a boat, or maybe he was by the river!"
"Oh … Oh …" Zhao Yu thought hard, but his eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter. "But, why would he do that? Why would he throw the frozen corpse into the river to be found? "
"Yes," Miao Ying said. "So, there isn't much progress!
In the beginning, we made a lot of assumptions. For example, the murderer's cold storage was demolished, so there was no way to freeze the corpse anymore.
"In order not to be found, he threw the corpse into the river!"
Miao Ying said. "Or, the murderer had already passed away. His descendants or relatives found the female corpse and threw it into the river in a hurry …"
"And …" Miao Ying said. "The murderer actually didn't want to throw the corpse into the river!
Maybe he just wanted to use a boat to transfer the corpse, but during the boat's journey, due to an operational error, or some other reason, the corpse fell into the river … "
"Eh?" Zhao Yu scratched his chin and nodded. "It's really full of possibilities!"
"If he threw the corpse from the river, then the murderer's house should be by the river, or very close …" Miao Ying said.
"If he wanted to transfer the corpse, then something must have happened to his cold storage recently, so it couldn't be used anymore!"
"But, if you think about it, it's still a lot of work …" Miao Ying said.
"Mm, that's true!" Zhao Yu said. "What you said earlier, I'm more inclined to say that it was an accident. I always feel that if the murderer was normal, he wouldn't dig his own grave!
"The corpse might have fallen into the river because of an accident! Eh? Miao Ying … "Zhao Yu thought of an idea." Maybe there were external factors that caused the accident?
"Shouldn't you check the weather during that time? Could it be that the corpse fell into the river because of bad weather? "
