Miao Ying hadn't had a good rest for a day and a night. Last night, she finally went back to the hotel and had a good sleep.
Therefore, when she returned to the office of the Special Investigation Group this morning, she felt particularly energetic.
As usual, the team members gathered together and had a brief analysis meeting.
At the meeting, everyone reported the progress of the investigation that they were responsible for.
The first to report was Ran Tao, who was mainly responsible for the peripheral investigation and looking for traces of the suspects.
Ran Tao then said, "It's really strange. More than 20 of us spent the whole night checking all the surveillance cameras near Bao Yicheng's house, but we didn't find any suspicious vehicles!
"To put it bluntly, Zhang Qile seems to have disappeared into thin air …"
"Really? Cui Lizhu didn't believe it. "How is that possible? Is there any blind spot? "
"There is a blind spot, but the surveillance cameras there are intersecting networks. If someone was following Zhang Qile, there is no reason that they couldn't find it!" Ran Tao said. "Zhang Qile left Bao Yicheng's house and disappeared into the blind spot of the surveillance cameras in less than 10 minutes. If a car really kidnapped him, we should be able to find out!"
"Really?" Miao Ying asked. "After Zhang Qile entered the blind spot, how many cars drove past Zhang Qile's position?"
"There were more than 20 cars in total. We checked them one by one," Ran Tao said. "They were all driving at a normal speed, which proves that they didn't stop in the blind spot, nor did any vehicles appear from the blind spot."
"Really? Could it be that … "Miao Ying thought for a moment, then asked," Zhang Qile contacted someone? "
"According to the call records, she didn't call anyone that night, nor did she contact anyone on the Internet …"
"Kidnapping? That's very fast!" Cui Lizhu said. "That's what they always say on TV. As soon as the car door opens, the kidnapper gets into the car, then smears ether on his mouth, and he faints!"
"Cui, I agree with you, but last night, I studied it with the technical team," Ran Tao said. "If what you said is true, then think about it, the murderer must have an accomplice, right?"
"The murderer can't drive himself and kidnap him. That would delay time, and we would find out about it …"
"Oh …" Cui Lizhu's eyes widened. "What if we assume that he has an accomplice?"
You see, Cui … "Ran Tao explained," For example, if I was the murderer who wanted to kidnap Zhang Qile, then … How could I know that Zhang Qile would come out of Bao Yicheng's house?
"Do I … have to wait somewhere outside my house in Bao Yi City?
"In that case," Ran Tao said, "we can also find out from the surveillance cameras! But … there's no … there's no such car in the surveillance footage … "
"That's strange!" Cui Lizhu frowned. "Could it be that … Zhang Qile flew away?"
"No, I think that even so, it can still be explained!" At this time, Zeng Ke suddenly said, "The first possibility is that the suspect's car has been waiting in the blind spot of the surveillance cameras. When he saw Zhang Qile coming, he carried out the kidnapping!
"However, after the kidnapping, he didn't drive the car away. Instead, he parked it in the blind spot and didn't move.
"It wasn't until the next morning, or whatever time it was, that it left the blind spot …"
Cui Lizhu's eyes widened again, then she said, "Zeng Ke, you're really something! When did you get it?"
Miao Ying said, "In that case, we might be able to see it from other cars' driving recorders! Or, we could lengthen the time it takes to check the surveillance cameras … "
"No, no, no …" Ran Tao shook his head and said, "You see, what Zeng Ke said is indeed logical, but … It's not like that!
Who knows that Zhang Qile will come out of Bao Yicheng's house? Does that person wait there every day? What if they don't fight? Or, if they come out during the day, he can't wait forever, right? "
"Yeah …" Cui Lizhu scratched her head. "So, the murderer is a very persistent person?"
"What kind of persistence?" Ran Tao said. "Zhang Qile changes several times a week, so it's impossible for her to stay in Bao Yicheng's house all the time."
Cui Lizhu agreed. "That's true!"
Zeng Ke pondered for a moment, then said, "Then, there's only one possibility. The murderer installed a tracking device or a listening device on Zhang Qile's body. He could know Zhang Qile's whereabouts and know her situation. So …"
"Tracking device, listening device …" Ran Tao shook his head and said, "Even with these, the murderer still couldn't predict that Zhang Qile would come out of Bao Yicheng's house in advance."
"Brother Tao is right," Miao Ying said. "I've always had doubts about Zhang Qile's kidnapping. If I were the murderer, I would have chosen a more secure place to do it. Even if I kidnapped Zhang Qile from the gallery, it would be better than being exposed on the street!
Then, the police would have a high chance of finding his vehicle! "
Cui Lizhu shook her head and said, "Then, there's no way to think about it! There are more than 20 cars in total, right? Let's check all of them.
Cui Lizhu then added, "And … Brother Tao, let me remind you, send someone to see if there are any sewers in the blind spots. What if the murderer kidnapped Zhang Qile through the sewers and avoided the surveillance cameras?"
"Um … You're really something, Cui!" Ran Tao said with a bitter expression.
Miao Ying then asked, "Zeng Ke, about the painting, how's the investigation going?"
"Oh …" Zeng Ke said in a hurry, "We first asked Zhang Qile's classmates, but they had never seen Zhang Qile's painting of the red bathtub!
So, that painting must have been painted after she graduated. "
"After that, we asked a lot of people, but no one knew much about the painting. Some people only heard that after Zhang Qile graduated, someone bought some of her paintings. Maybe the red bathtub was included in those paintings! "
Miao Ying then said, "We found an insider, but we couldn't get in touch with him. So, today, I'm going to send someone to visit him!
Maybe he knows who these paintings were sold to! "
"Oh? Is it a man or a woman? "Miao Ying asked." What does this insider do? "
"It seems to be Zhang Qile's first boyfriend," Zeng Ke said. "Now, he is a physical education teacher at No. 15 Middle School. After Zhang Qile graduated, he also came to No. 15 Middle School to teach art.
So, it's possible that he knows something about the painting, right? "
"Oh …" Miao Ying thought for a moment, then asked, "Why can't I get in touch with him? Could it be that he changed his phone? "
"I'm not sure about that," Zeng Ke said. "Maybe he doesn't want to answer a phone call that he doesn't know? But, I've checked his information. He will definitely go to work today, because No. 15 Middle School is having a sports meeting, so he must be there … "
"Okay!" Miao Ying said. "If that's the case, I'll go myself!"
