At four o 'clock in the morning, the office of the Special Investigation Group was bustling with activity.
A large electronic map appeared on the big screen.
"Leader," Zeng Ke said, pointing to the map with a red pen. "After investigation, there are currently 15 demolition projects along the Jing River, in Kunyang City, and in the surrounding areas of Kangle and Luowei!
Among them, there are 11 places where residents are being demolished … "
"Zeng Ke," Zhao Yu reminded him, "I want the places that have been demolished recently, not those that have been demolished for a long time, or those that haven't been demolished yet …"
"Oh …" Zeng Ke quickly adjusted the computer and said, "If that's the case, then there are only six places that meet the standard!"
"Didn't you say that you found an expert from the Planning Bureau? Where is he? "Zhao Yu asked.
"He's still on the way," Captain Shi said. "He lives in the new city, which is a little far. He's on his way!"
"Boss …" Cui Lizhu pursed her lips and asked, "Why are you so obsessed with demolition?"
"Accident! Only an accident can explain it! "Zhao Yu replied immediately.
"Accident?" Cui Lizhu asked. "We seem to have discussed this issue before. But, I'm asking about demolition. What does an accident have to do with demolition? "
"Captain Shi …" However, Zhao Yu did not answer Cui Lizhu's question. Instead, he asked Captain Shi, "How's the traffic accident I asked you to investigate?"
"I've already conveyed the order, and the local transportation departments are investigating overnight," Captain Shi said. "But, the upper reaches of the Jing River cover more than 200 kilometers of road, so it will take some time …"
"Okay, as soon as possible!"
"Boss …" Cui Lizhu's eyes widened. "You mean, it was a traffic accident?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu stared at the big screen and said, "Because the corpse floated over from the river, we have been thinking about the boat!
We always thought that the frozen female corpse fell from the boat!
"But we've checked all the ships, but we didn't find anything. So, we have to find another way!"
"I think Leader Zhao is right," Captain Shi said. "Now that the roads are so developed, it seems more reasonable to use the road transportation method!"
"You mean …" Cui Lizhu asked, "You suspect that when the murderer was transporting the frozen female corpse, there was an accident, and the corpse … fell from the shore … into the river?"
"Yes," Zhao Yu said. "Today, when we were on the boat, I noticed that there are mountain roads on both sides of the Jing River. Those mountain roads are close to the river, so if we really had a car accident, the probability of us falling into the river is very high!"
"A car carrying a frozen body had an accident upstream of Jing River …" Cui Lizhu murmured. "Then the frozen body fell into the river and floated downstream to Jing River Ancient Temple …" Cui Lizhu murmured.
"This … this is the accident you were talking about!?
"Isn't this … a little too much?"
"Are you trying to say that it's just wishful thinking?" Xi Mengna, who was next to him, interrupted. "I think what Team Leader Zhao said makes sense!"
"In that case …" Cui Lizhu looked at Captain Shi. "Isn't the problem simple? As long as we find out where the car accident happened on the upper reaches of the Jing River on the night the body was dumped, we will be able to find the murderer. "
"Yeah?" Zhao Yu said. "I saw so many steel pipes falling from the truck during the day, so I got the idea!
"Since we have been paying attention to the water, why can't we pay attention to the road?"
"But …" Cui Lizhu asked curiously. "Why did you ask Zeng Ke to investigate the demolition?"
"There must be a reason for transporting the corpse, right?" Zhao Yu said. "The murderer froze Su Ruohua's body. Why would he want to move it?"
"Only his original residence was changed," Xi Mengna said. "He had no choice but to move the corpse …"
"Oh …" Cui Lizhu seemed to understand something. "No wonder we couldn't explain the murderer's purpose before!"
"Yes," Zhao Yu said. "We couldn't understand why the murderer wanted to throw the corpse into the river. Even if it was an accident, there must be a reason!
"Now that we have found a suitable reason, of course, we have to study it further."
"The cliff …" Cui Lizhu thought of another question. "The cliff is so high. If the corpse fell from it, would it …"
"Maybe the car also fell into the river?" Zhao Yu said. "Besides, the corpse was frozen. Even if it fell from a high altitude, it wouldn't hurt the body …"
"It's like this every time." Cui Lizhu pursed her lips and said, "Boss's idea is so strange every time. Every time, I thought you were full of loopholes, but every time, you guessed it right …"
"I'll take that as a compliment!" Zhao Yu smiled faintly. "My guess is just a guess. I tried to overturn this guess before, and I can think of 100 ways to overturn it. But, the case is stuck here, so I have to give it a try anyway!"
Knock knock knock …
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked in from outside. He looked gentle and refined.
"Hello, I'm Liu Xiaoyong from the Planning Bureau. Excuse me …"
"Yes, it's you! You're finally here … "Captain Shi hurried forward and pulled Liu Xiaoyong in front of the big screen. He then introduced him to everyone," Section Chief Liu is the person who knows the demolition plan best in Kunyang! "
"Section Chief Liu …" Zhao Yu pointed to the big screen and said, "The case is urgent, so let's not go through the motions. Hurry up and tell us about the demolition projects that have just started recently."
"Oh … Oh …" Although he was still a little confused, Section Chief Liu adjusted his glasses and came in front of the big screen. He said, "Xiaolongtun, Beiwan, and the Alcadia project in Daliang District have just started construction. There are still some holdouts …"
"Oh, there's also Nanchentun and Xiaojinzhuang … They've just been demolished. Last Thursday, all the houses there were demolished …"
While Section Chief Liu was introducing the projects, Zhao Yu's eyes were fixed on the big screen. He was obviously looking for the most suitable area.
"Section Chief Liu …" Zhao Yu asked, "What's the situation in these areas that you mentioned? Are the residents waiting for the buildings to be built, or have they been moved to other places? "
"Mm …" Section Chief Liu took a few glances and said, "Most of them have been moved back. Only … only Beiwan has been relocated!"
"Oh? Why? "Zhao Yu asked.
"A large water park is going to be built in Beiwan," Section Chief Liu said. "So, the residents there have been arranged to go to the Jinling Residence. The Jinling Residence is located in the center of Kunyang City, and it's a high-end residential area. For the residents, it's a great deal!"
"Beiwan … Hu …" Zhao Yu suddenly realized that his method might be wrong.
This was because Beiwan and the Jinling Residence were very close, and they wouldn't pass by Jingjiang.
If the murderer was really among the residents, then he could have gone anywhere.
At least … The murderer had to find a place to keep Su Ruohua frozen, right?
So … How can I find this person?
