Four days later, in the office of the Special Investigation Group at the Yunzhou Police Station, Miao Ying followed Zhao Yu's habit.
Miao Ying followed Zhao Yu's habit and set up two whiteboards in the office. One was the latest red bathtub case, and the other was the red bathtub case from forty years ago.
However, at that moment, Miao Ying was focused on the latest case, and she put the case from 40 years ago aside.
In Miao Ying's opinion, the reason why she had worked so hard on the previous case was that she had paid too much attention to the case from 40 years ago.
She was now trying to see if she could focus on the new case without looking at the old one. Would she be able to find some clues that she had overlooked before?
However, after four days, they still found nothing.
Wu Xiumin investigated Professor Zhang Chunwang from the Academy of Fine Arts, but found that Professor Zhang had been hospitalized because of cerebral thrombosis.
She also investigated Zhang Chunwang's interpersonal relationships, but found nothing suspicious.
Bao Yicheng and Bao Yucheng had been ruled out as suspects, and there was no progress on Zhang Qile's kidnapping and death scenes.
Now, Miao Ying could only use a more primitive method to investigate those who had interacted with Zhang Qile one by one.
However, after four days, these people either had no motive or alibi, so they were being ruled out one by one. Until today, no clues had been found.
Miao Ying even began to wonder if Zhang Qile's death was due to emotional entanglements.
Could it be that Zhang Qile was randomly chosen by the murderer?
However, because of Zhang Qile's painting, this inference couldn't be established.
Putting aside the case from 40 years ago, the fact that Zhang Qile was killed by the murderer in the manner of his own painting was enough to prove that the murderer had a very strong purpose!
The reason why he killed Zhang Qile in this way was either that Zhang Qile's painting hid a huge secret, or that the murderer wanted to kill him!
Or, it was because of some emotional entanglements or personal grudges …
"I really tried my best …" Ran Tao said. "The key to Chenyang House, all the surveillance cameras in the crime area, the driving recorder, and even every car, tricycle, and vehicle that could hide people … We checked all of them, but in the end, we still didn't find anything!"
"The murderer is so elusive …" Cui Lizhu said.
"Yes!" Cui Lizhu frowned. "Don't forget, the murderer didn't come alone. He had a living person with him!
"Brother Tao," she said to Ran Tao. "Could it be that it's dark under the light? For example … the security guard of Morningsun Residence? Could it be that he's a thief crying thief? "
"Don't joke around. I'm not a good-for-nothing," Ran Tao said. "I've already checked his eight generations of ancestors. This person has polio, and it's difficult for him to hold things with his right hand!"
"Or …" Cui Lizhu continued, "Do you remember the Ziliu case? Did the murderer live near Chenyang Residence or rent a room there? "
"Who do you think I am?" Ran Tao patted his chest excitedly and said, "I've already checked every household, but it's really not easy!
"On the surface, no one has been found to be related to the red bathtub case or Zhang Qile forty years ago.
"The staff structure of Chenyang Residence is also quite complicated. You can't imagine that there are actually five families living in a two-story building of 140 square meters!"
"Tsk tsk …" Cui Lizhu smacked her lips. "It's a little difficult, but we still have to investigate it, right?"
"Sis Miao," Zeng Ke said, pointing to the whiteboard. "From the time Zhang Qile left Bao Yi City to the time when the red bathtub case happened, there was a whole day gap!
"Could this day of disappearance be a key point?
Why didn't the murderer commit the crime on the day of the kidnapping? Why did he wait a day? What did he do to Zhang Qile on that day? "
"Yes," Miao Ying said, nodding. "This is one of the contradictions in this case! All the signs indicate that the murderer must have carefully planned this murder!
Since it was carefully planned, why didn't he do it on the day of the kidnapping of Zhang Qile? "
"Huh? That's really hard to understand … "Cui Lizhu asked Wu Xiumin," Sis Wu, what do you say about psychological profiling? "
"Psychological profiling is also full of contradictions," Wu Xiumin said with a serious expression. "I still can't figure out the psychological characteristics of the murderer. I can't even tell if he was simply imitating the old case, or if he was trying to express his thoughts …"
Miao Ying then said, "From a certain point of view, the murderer seems to be in a state of confusion. He didn't seem to be particularly determined to kill Zhang Qile, but his method of committing the crime was so skillful that it's really hard to explain …"
"Then … Is the murderer a psycho? Cui Lizhu asked. "Didn't you say that there were no signs of sexual assault?"
"That's hard to say," Wu Xiumin said. "What if the murderer is a woman?"
"Even if he wasn't assaulted, it could be that he was imitating …" Miao Ying said. "He might have read the files, or he might know about the old cases. He might know that the victims weren't assaulted by Peter …"
"Psychological profiling doesn't work either …" Cui Lizhu sighed. "Do you know what I want to do now? I really want to call the boss and learn from him. I want to see how he would handle such a case! "
"I think …" Zeng Ke pointed to the map and said, "We still have to work on the place where Zhang Qile disappeared. We believe in science, and people can't just disappear into thin air!
Since that place is covered with surveillance cameras, Zhang Qile must have been taken away by something … "
"Brother Tao, I've always wanted to say this," Zeng Ke said to Ran Tao. "Look, Zhang Qile came out of Bao Yicheng's house in a fit of anger, right?
She asked Bao Yicheng to help her invite a celebrity to the party, but Bao Yicheng refused, so she was very unhappy!
A woman who came out in the middle of the night, stood on the street, and was angry … What would she think? "
"Wow …" Cui Lizhu was surprised. "Having a girlfriend is really different …"
Zeng Ke ignored her and continued, "Zhang Qile is the kind of woman who is more casual. Such a woman often does some unexpected things. Do you think …"
Miao Ying then said, "Could it be that she stood on the street for a long time and didn't see a taxi, so she casually stopped a private car?
If the private car stopped and Zhang Qile got in the car, it wouldn't take too long, so it couldn't be seen from the surveillance cameras? "
"This …" Cui Lizhu pondered. "It seems to make sense! Zhang Qile just thought that any man who saw a beautiful woman like her would give her a ride, but she didn't expect the driver to be a killer! "
"No! No! "Ran Tao said decisively." That's too much of a coincidence. How do you explain the painting that Zhang Qile painted? "
"It could be …" Cui Lizhu guessed, "Zhang Qile and the driver looked at her painting, which made the driver want to kill her … Oh … No … How could he have planned it so thoroughly in such a short time?"
"The driver is not necessarily the killer!" Zeng Ke insisted. "He gave Zhang Qile a ride, then waited for her to get out of the blind spot, or to go somewhere else, before Zhang Qile was kidnapped again …"
"That's impossible!" Ran Tao denied directly. "I've already asked all the drivers. If such a thing really happened, it's impossible that he didn't tell us, right?"
"No! You still don't understand what I mean, "Zeng Ke said, his eyes shining." In my opinion, there is only one situation that can explain Zhang Qile's disappearance! "
"Oh?" Cui Lizhu urged. "Then, don't wait for me to scold you. Hurry up and tell me!"
"Zhang Qile had sex with the driver that she just met!" Zeng Ke's words shocked everyone.
"You mean …" Cui Lizhu frowned. "How could that be?"
"The driver was handsome, or Zhang Qile just wanted to vent," Zeng Ke said. "So, they found a place to have fun for one night. After that, Zhang Qile left and was kidnapped by the killer."
"This explains why she disappeared into thin air!"
"The driver has a wife, so even if he came to the police station for questioning, he didn't dare to tell the truth!" Zeng Ke said.
"The killer had been planning to kill Zhang Qile using the same method as the Red Bathtub Case. He also installed a GPS device and bugged Zhang Qile.
But, he never found an opportunity, or he didn't make up his mind! "
Zeng Ke shook his head. "However, everything changed that night. When the killer heard that Zhang Qile had sex with a random man on the street, he became even angrier. Then, he made up his mind, or he found an opportunity!
"What do you think? This explanation seems unreasonable, but in fact, it is the only explanation, "Zeng Ke said." This also proves why the killer seemed to be in a dilemma … "
"This …"
After Zeng Ke finished speaking, everyone was silent. Everyone thought about it according to Zeng Ke's reasoning, but no one could find a reason to refute it.
"D * mn!" After a while, Ran Tao clapped his hands and said, "So, I have to find all the drivers and check again!"
