"No!" At eight o 'clock in the morning, Captain Shi reported to Zhao Yu. "On the night when the frozen female corpse was found, there were no traffic accidents on both sides of the Jing River. It was a peaceful night!
"Leader Zhao, is there something wrong with our judgment?"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu thought about it carefully, then said, "Captain Shi, the forensic doctors said that before Su Ruohua fell into the river, she should have been frozen in a huge block of ice!"
"You mean … Such a big block of ice, at least … an ordinary car couldn't have transported it, right?"
"Oh …" Captain Shi seemed to understand. "You mean …"
"The forensic doctors detected a substance similar to felt in the ice," Zhao Yu said. "So, the murderer wrapped the ice with felt. Obviously, he didn't want to be found!"
"According to the time when the female corpse thawed, the time when the frozen female corpse fell into the river should be ten o 'clock in the middle of the night …" Zhao Yu frowned and thought carefully. "So, what conclusion can we draw?"
"The car accident may not have been particularly serious, right?" Xi Mengna suddenly thought. "Think about it. The murderer was nervous and drove too fast, then flipped the car and threw the female corpse into the river. In that case, how could he have called the police?"
"Leader Zhao," Captain Shi said. "Do you mean that the female corpse was placed in the back of a pickup truck or a tricycle?
"In that case, if there was an accident, the female corpse was likely to fall into the river?"
"I don't care what kind of car it was!" Zhao Yu said. "There must be surveillance cameras on the road, right? How many cars could there be on such a night? "
"I … I understand!" Captain Shi nodded. "I will inform my men to thoroughly investigate all the vehicles that may have carried the frozen female corpse that night!"
"Mm, go ahead!" Zhao Yu said. "The boat has been ruled out. If it's not a car, then the only possibility left is that the female corpse fell from the sky!"
Captain Shi didn't dare to answer, so he quickly went to report the task.
Zhao Yu turned around and asked Zeng Ke, who had been working hard all night, "How is it? Did you find anything? "
"These five people … They don't look like them!" Zeng Ke gestured to the big screen and said, "Look, this is the information of these five teachers from Nanyun Normal University.
"Among them, three of them started working after 1998. Their ages don't match. They don't know Su Ruohua at all …
"Other than that, the remaining two teachers know Su Ruohua, but they're already retired. One of the female teachers has hemiplegia, so she's obviously not her!
"And the last one has been living in Gui Zhou since his retirement. It doesn't look like it!"
"The last one …" Zhao Yu looked at the big screen carefully and asked, "Does it not meet the requirements?"
"Yes," Division Chief Liu said. "This person bought a 60-square-meter room on the third floor. Obviously, there was no room for refrigeration!
"We just confirmed his property rights. The house has always been managed by his son, and it's been rented out all year round, so it's definitely not him …"
"Also," Zeng Ke said, "Although this person is also an old teacher at Nanyun Normal School, and he is a few years older than Su Ruohua, he transferred to Nanyun Normal School in 1989. He used to work at the city's No.1 Middle School and the Education Bureau.
"So, in theory, it's unlikely that he knows Su Ruohua."
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu looked at the information, shook his head, and said, "So, it doesn't have to be a colleague?"
"Yes," Cui Lizhu reminded him again. "Before this, we've checked all the teachers in their school who have had dealings with Su Ruohua, but we didn't find any suspicious people!"
"Then … What should we do?" Xi Mengna frowned. "There are more than 400 households there! We can't check all 400 households, can we? "
"Yes, you're right!" Zhao Yu said. "With a big case in front of us, we have to check each household one by one!" But … "He turned his head and looked at Wu Xiumin in the distance." Wu Xiumin has done profiling before, so we can filter it first. Maybe we can narrow the scope! "
"Yes," Wu Xiumin stood up and said. "The murderer is likely to be single and has worked in refrigeration related work. He must be at least 48 years old and under 75 years old …"
"Also," Zhao Yu said. "If I'm the murderer, and I have a frozen female corpse in my house, I'm naturally worried that someone will investigate me!
So, if there's any illegal construction in my house, I'll definitely have to settle it. So, I guess this person must have done all the necessary procedures … "
Cui Lizhu added, "Also, a building with a small courtyard on the first floor, a bungalow, or a converted factory building. That would be more conducive to his privacy!"
"There's one more point, which I, the great detective Zhao, came up with after thinking hard!" Zhao Yu pointed to Zeng Ke and said, "You can compare the electricity consumption of these households. Freezing a corpse for 34 years would definitely consume a lot of electricity!"
"Wow!" Xi Mengna gave him a thumbs up. "What an amazing bone structure! No wonder you became a detective. How could you think of this? "
"That's not the right word to use," Cui Lizhu corrected him. "Amazing bone structure refers to a person's talent for practicing martial arts, not intelligence … For people like you, you have to use your brain …"
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and stopped Cui Lizhu. "This is a critical moment. Don't talk about useless things! Zeng Ke, "he turned to Zeng Ke and ordered," follow the screening criteria we have just proposed. See if there is anyone who fits the description. "
"I'm doing it …" Zeng Ke typed quickly on the keyboard, obviously very excited.
"Team Leader Zhao, Team Leader Zhao!" At this time, Captain Shi hurried in from outside and reported to Zhao Yu, "The traffic team just received a piece of news. On the night of the discovery of the female corpse in Jingjiang, the traffic team received a police report. But, because the accident was not serious, the person involved should have solved it himself!
So, they did not dispatch the police … "
"Oh? What about the location? "Zhao Yu asked.
"The specific location was not clearly stated, but the person who reported it mentioned that there was an accident on Linjiang Road …" Captain Shi replied. "Linjiang Road is upstream of Jingjiang, more than 20 kilometers along the river …"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu thought for a moment. "We can't let go of any details. Send someone to verify it immediately and see what the situation is!"
"I've already asked them to verify it," Captain Shi said. "We'll receive feedback soon …"
"Wow, I'm so nervous!" At this time, Xi Mengna clenched her fists and said with pale lips, "Why do I feel that we will be able to solve this case soon?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zeng Ke stood up and said excitedly, "Team leader, team leader, come and have a look!
"Team Leader, Team Leader, come and take a look. This person looks suspicious!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and the others quickly gathered around him.
