"No …"
At the Yunzhou Police Station, Ran Tao's voice came from the special investigation group's office.
"Team Leader Miao, I've checked. In the week before the incident, Zhang Qile's car had never been moved. At that time, she was still in contact with us, and she even appeared in the gallery …"
"Oh?" Miao Ying was stunned. "So, I was wrong?"
"I think so," Ran Tao said. "Zhang Qile must have been kidnapped from somewhere else!"
"She didn't take a train for a week … So …" Miao Ying asked, "If she went out, did she take a bus? Why do I feel like she's not that kind of person? "
"Yes," Ran Tao said. "Someone in the gallery saw that Zhang Qile had been riding in a BMW several times recently. Cui is leading some people to investigate. They should be able to find out soon …"
"It seems that …" Miao Ying sighed. "Teacher Zhang's private life is really casual …"
"Sister Miao," Zeng Ke reported, "we have checked Zhang Qile's phone records and chat records. There are indeed many men who are flirting with her. If we investigate them one by one, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time!"
"It doesn't matter," Miao Ying said. "Start with the most recent contact. Let's find out her movements before she disappeared!
"Brother Tao," Miao Ying said to Ran Tao. "As usual, send someone to look for recent videos of Zhang Qile. The kidnappers are so detailed, so they must have done a lot of research on Zhang Qile. See if there are any suspicious people in the videos!"
"Understood, understood," Ran Tao said. "I've talked to Captain Shao and sent someone to investigate …"
"Team Leader Miao," Wu Xiumin reported, "we found the real estate developer who had a conflict with Zhang Qile before.
"Just like what the assistant said, the developer used to have a good relationship with Zhang Qile and had invested in Zhang Qile's gallery before. Later, when he faced a financial crisis, he wanted Zhang Qile to refund him some money. However, Zhang Qile refused, so he hit Zhang Qile …
"However, this person has been completely ruled out as a suspect. Because he was involved in bribery, he has been sent to prison and is still there …"
"Oh …" Miao Ying sighed and said, "Then, according to the previous plan, find all the people who are related to Zhang Qile and question them one by one!"
"Understood!" Cui Lizhu answered.
"This case …" Miao Ying turned to look at the whiteboard and murmured, "There are no traces left at the crime scene, the time and place of the kidnapping are unknown, and the interpersonal relationships are so complicated … Tsk tsk …"
She couldn't help but think of Zhao Yu. She wondered what Zhao Yu would do if he was in charge of the case.
Would he do it better than himself?
…
It was another night, and the intense investigation work was still going on. In order to seize the time, everyone did not go out for dinner. Instead, they asked Captain Shao to send someone to deliver a simple working meal.
"I've already informed Zhang Qile's family," Wu Xiumin said. "But … the grudge is too deep. His family doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic, so they'll drive over tomorrow to claim the body!"
"Really?" Miao Ying smiled. "That's because they don't know how much Zhang Qile has! If he knew, his attitude wouldn't be like this … "
"Yeah," Wu Xiumin said. "A painting is worth hundreds of thousands, which means that he's quite rich. Plus, her operation team is very familiar with the pattern. Even with such a high price, it's still hard to get a painting. Basically, you can only buy one at an auction …"
"Team Leader Miao, we found it, we found it …" While they were talking, Captain Shao suddenly appeared in the office. He excitedly reported to Miao Ying, "We found out that before the incident, Zhang Qile was dating a man named Bao Yicheng!
"We found out that two nights before the crime, Zhang Qile came out of Bao Yicheng's residential area, then disappeared …"
"Bao Yicheng?" Miao Ying asked. "Who?"
"He's a senior official of Yunzhou Airlines, and he's considered a celebrity in Yunzhou," Captain Shao said. "Now, it has been confirmed that the BMW that picked Zhang Qile up was his!"
"Then … Where is he?" Wu Xiumin asked.
"I've already sent someone to question him," Captain Shao said as he looked at his watch. "He's almost there!"
"But …" Miao Ying grasped the key point and asked, "Did you just say that she disappeared after leaving Bao Yicheng's house? Was she alone? "
"Yes, we checked the surveillance cameras around Bao Yicheng's house. At 10: 17 pm, Zhang Qile left Bao Yicheng's house alone, then went to Guandong Road outside the main entrance. Then, she disappeared …"
"Alone in the middle of the night?" Wu Xiumin pondered and said, "Could there have been some kind of conflict?
"If it was because of an emergency, why didn't Bao Yicheng drive her home?"
"Since she was alone," Miao Ying said, "she must have taken a taxi or an online car, right?"
"We're looking into it, and we've ruled out an online car," Captain Shao said. "We found no record of Zhang Qile using an online car on his phone … It's more likely that he took a taxi!"
"That night, Zhang Qile might have wanted to return to the gallery, but …" Miao Ying pondered and said, "He was kidnapped by the murderer?
If we can find the means of transportation used by the murderer, then we might be able to find out the murderer's identity! "
"I know," Captain Shao said quickly. "I've already sent more people to check all the intersections near Bao Yicheng's house. There are more surveillance cameras there, so it should be easy to find!"
Beep beep … Beep beep …
While they were talking, Captain Shao's phone rang.
Captain Shao looked down and quickly turned on his phone. He said to Miao Ying and the others, "My people have arrived at Bao Yicheng's house and are questioning him …"
As he spoke, he raised his phone, and everyone immediately saw the scene.
"Yes, we had a fight. This … um … I hope you can keep it a secret for me," Bao Yicheng begged with a bitter face. "Qile and I are in that kind of relationship, you know …"
"Bao Yicheng has a wife," Captain Shao explained. "His child is in college!"
"Why did you have a fight?" the police detective at the scene asked.
"Oh, it's … Qile has an important art exhibition next month, so she asked me to help her invite some celebrities to come and support her. You know, I can invite celebrities, but if I did that, my wife would find out, so I didn't agree!"
"So … She got angry and slammed the door that night … But …" Bao Yicheng said in distress, "I didn't expect that she would have an accident …"
"Oh my God!"
While everyone was listening carefully to Bao Yicheng's story, Zeng Ke, who was on the other side of the office, suddenly stood up from his seat and exclaimed, "You … Come and take a look!"
Huh?
Everyone was curious, not knowing what Zeng Ke had discovered. So, they quickly put down Captain Shao's phone and came to Zeng Ke's desk.
As a result, when everyone looked at Zeng Ke's computer screen, they were all dumbfounded.
There was a blood-red painting on the screen, and the content of the painting was almost the same as the Red Bathtub Case!
"How could this be?" Miao Ying asked. "Where did this painting come from?"
"This …" Zeng Ke explained, trembling, "This painting … It's Zhang Qile's work!"
