Five days later, in a freezing factory in Kunyang.
"Factory Manager Niu," Miao Ying asked the factory manager in the small and messy office, "As far as we know, your freezing factory is one of the few in Kunyang that has been in operation for decades, right?"
"Yes," Factory Manager Niu tidied up the table and said, "What can I do for you, police officers?"
"Oh, nothing, we just wanted to ask you about freezing!" Miao Ying said. "I see that you are quite young. Is this factory your family business?"
"Forty years old, isn't that old?" Factory Manager Niu smiled awkwardly and replied, "It's considered a family business! Why does it sound so noble?
"Actually, the factory belongs to my uncle. My uncle and aunt had no children, so after my uncle passed away, he passed on the factory to me. When I was young, I didn't go to school, so I worked in the factory all the time, so … I'm quite familiar with the business!"
"Then, when was your factory established? Do you know?" Miao Ying asked.
"Mm … I was already there at that time," Factory Manager Niu recalled. "Around 1983 or 84? But, it was just a small workshop at Si Le Street. There were only a few small bungalows, so I couldn't make very good things. I could only make some cream popsicles … "
"Oh …" Miao Ying thought for a while and asked, "Then, when did the freezing factory expand?"
"Probably … the year Xiangjiang returned? In 1997, I had already been an apprentice for a long time, working with my uncle. That's what you see now … "
"Oh … I see!" Miao Ying and Zhao Yu exchanged glances, then asked, "Factory Manager Niu, around 1986, did your freezing factory have a cold storage?"
"Cold storage?" Factory Manager Niu was stunned and said, "Back then, a cold storage seemed quite luxurious, right? But … if you're talking about 1986, I was only six years old then! "
"Me, I heard from my uncle that back then, we were all small workshops, making things like small refrigerators. As for the cold storage, it only appeared after the mid-90s.
"As far as I know, cold storage wasn't common at that time. I think it was only after the state owned cold storage, such as the Far East cold storage and the wholesale market cold storage that specialized in fresh and aquatic products …"
"Oh …" Miao Ying looked at Zhao Yu, then took out a photo of Su Ruohua and asked, "So … Have you seen this person?"
Director Niu carefully identified him and shook his head. "I've never seen him before. Who is he? Does it have anything to do with our factory? "
"Factory Manager Niu," Zhao Yu said. "Let me ask you another professional question. In the 1980s, do you know if there were any private companies in the Kun Yang area that had advanced refrigeration technology?
"For example, a refrigeration plant of a larger scale than yours?"
"Aiyo, about that …" Factory Manager Niu shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. As far as I know, there isn't any left!
"To be honest, don't be fooled by the primitive equipment at home. In that era, being able to make Cream Popsicles was already pretty good!"
"Then …" Miao Ying asked again, "Do you know about hydroxyethyl substances? Or other food additives or preservatives? "
"This … Police officer, I'm sorry!" Factory Manager Niu misunderstood and quickly clarified, "Our products have absolutely no additives or preservatives!
"And the substance you just mentioned, I've never heard of it. I … I didn't even graduate from primary school …"
While they were talking, the office door opened. Cui Lizhu, who was in charge of checking the cold storage, stood outside the door and gestured for them to enter.
Zhao Yu and Miao Ying understood, but Cui Lizhu didn't find anything unusual.
So, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying said goodbye to Factory Manager Niu and left the refrigeration plant.
After returning to the car, Cui Lizhu quickly said, "Bosses, I just saw that the factory that makes popsicles has a lot of people going in and out, and the cold storage is also very busy. It's hard to freeze a living person!"
"Zeng Ke also checked," Miao Ying said, looking at her mobile phone. "Factory Manager Niu's uncle has nothing to do with Su Ruohua …"
"Boss," Cui Lizhu said to Zhao Yu, "why don't we do a secret search? See if there is a private cold storage in this factory? "
"No need!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "I think we'd better change our way of thinking!"
The reason why Zhao Yu was so sure was that he suddenly realized that his Double Gen Variation hexagram had ended!
He had obtained a 1001% completion rate, 60 devices of various levels, and more than 50,000 adventure points.
However, although he had obtained a lot, Zhao Yu clearly knew that it was all because of his previous two cases.
The end of the Double Gen Variation hexagram undoubtedly indicated that he had gone in the wrong direction in solving the Frozen Female Corpses Case!
Zhao Yu was half happy and half worried. He had indeed been quiet for too long and hadn't obtained any decent devices.
This time, he had made a lot of money. The aircraft, the invisibility cloak, the translator, the power jamming device, and so on had all been harvested.
However, after the adventure ended, the hexagram would be frozen for 20 days, and he wouldn't be able to open another hexagram in a short period of time.
Therefore, Zhao Yu had returned to a specific starting point. He could only rely on his own ability to solve the case.
Of course, at that moment, Zhao Yu was full of confidence. He believed that even without the guidance of the hexagram, he could rely on his own efforts to find clues to solve the case.
"Boss, what should we do next?" Cui Lizhu asked in the car.
Hmm …
Zhao Yu was lost in thought. In the past five days, they had investigated many places non-stop, but they hadn't found any useful clues.
First of all, they had investigated the ships that passed by the Jing River during the time when the female corpses were found, but they hadn't found any suspicious ships.
Secondly, they had looked for the teachers who taught animal husbandry and fishery in the vocational high school. However, these teachers had either died of illness or gone abroad, so they hadn't found any clues.
Moreover, through their investigation, they found that although freezing technology was part of animal husbandry and fishery, it was almost useless. No one had studied it at all, and even the exams had been skipped.
In short, the situation in the vocational high school at that time was mainly teaching courses, and no one was doing scientific research at all.
Therefore, Zhao Yu and the others could only turn their attention to freezing factories like Factory Manager Niu's to see if there was any possibility that it had anything to do with these small factories.
Miao Ying shook her head and said, "If this goes on, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack! The Far East Cold Storage and the wholesale market cold storage were all built in the mid to late 1990s, and they had been moved many times. Obviously, they had nothing to do with them.
"So … Su Ruohua, who was the one who froze her?"
Then, Miao Ying and Cui Lizhu looked at Zhao Yu at the same time. This was because, at every critical moment, Zhao Yu could always come up with some new ideas for investigation!
However, the two women looked at him for a long time. Then, Zhao Yu sighed heavily and said, "Alright! It seems that I can only use my trump card! "
