The murderer really wasn't after the money!
After getting the latest news, Zhao Yu looked at the electronic screen that was filled with case information and sighed.
After the police's inspection, they found that the trash can was smeared with a mixture of phosphorous and potassium nitrate. When the tramp lit it up, the fire instantly grew bigger and engulfed the five million ransom in the blink of an eye!
What was even worse was that the fire extinguishers on the ninth floor were all empty, no one knew if it was intentional or if it was a coincidence! In the end, the criminal police found a fire extinguisher from another floor to extinguish the fire. As the fire spread quickly, there wasn't much of the five million left!
Then, Captain Li Luoyun finally realized that the murderer's intention wasn't for the money! They were all fooled!
Plus, he also understood why the murderer had specifically asked them to wrap the ransom in a plastic bag! It was because the plastic bag would burn faster, and if it were a money box, there wouldn't be any money left!
Plus, the tramp was really a tramp. He claimed that someone had given him a lighter and five hundred yuan to do it. He thought that it was just a prank, so he did as he was told! After being detained, the police found out that the tramp had some mental retardation, so he couldn't possibly be the murderer of the Hasty Murder Case!
Hence, it seemed that the murderer had planned everything in advance. To be able to burn the five million meant that he wasn't after the money, but that he hated the Changxin Longtai Pharmaceutical Factory to the core! Burning the money was obviously a form of revenge!
The scariest thing was that the murderer had burned the ransom, which meant that the hasty murder hadn't stopped yet, but would continue! There was a high possibility that there would be a fourth victim the next day!
Then, Li Luoyun had already sent out his men to search for clues in the Nebula Commercial Building. He thought that, as the murderer had done something in the trash can, it would be impossible for him to avoid all the surveillance cameras. Hence, there would definitely be some video evidence!
However, Zhao Yu didn't think so. He felt that the murderer of the Hasty Murder Case wasn't simple at all. If he could kill so many people without leaving any trace, he definitely wouldn't be able to do anything to a trash can!
As expected, when Captain Li sent people to check all the surveillance cameras, they didn't find any video evidence. Although there were quite a number of people who had dumped their trash into the trash can, they were basically the staff on the ninth floor, so the person-in-charge of the commercial building knew all of them.
The cleaning department of the commercial building claimed that the trash can wasn't deliberately placed there, but it was a fixed position in the commercial building. Since the 9th floor of the commercial building was a restaurant, the amount of garbage was larger than the other floors. In order to clean it up in time, a large trash can was placed!
Li Luoyun deduced that the culprit might not have done it at the scene, but had smeared the accelerant on the trash can from somewhere else.
However, although they didn't find any useful clues in the mall, the police found another clue based on the extortion text message sent by the murderer.
The blackmail message was sent to the phone of one of the leaders of the pharmaceutical factory via WeChat. After the police traced it, they found the mobile phone that sent the WeChat message and found the owner of the phone.
However, when the police confirmed it, the owner of the phone claimed that her phone had been stolen, and it had just been stolen in the morning!
The result was disappointing, but Li Luoyun still didn't give up. He sent police officers to investigate the phone, to see if they could find the person who stole the phone!
Impossible!
Impossible …
Looking at the electronic screen, Zhao Yu had doubts again. He felt that the murderer of the Hasty Murder Case couldn't have done it alone!
These cases were too meticulous!
Imagine, a person had to plan how to kill someone without leaving any traces, plan how to burn the five hundred ransom money, and think of a way to steal a phone to send the extortion text message …
How could such detailed and complicated work be done by one person alone?
So … Zhao Yu tapped on the electronic screen and thought to himself, The Hasty Murder Case couldn't have been done by one person!
What he was going to face might be a high-tech criminal gang like Zhao Qing, who was meticulous in planning and highly capable in action!
If that were really the case, the level of the Hasty Murder Case would be completely different from what he had imagined. It could even be elevated to the level of anti-terrorism!
Then, for the first time, Zhao Yu felt that time was running out! If they still couldn't find the suspect, once there was a fourth victim, the consequences would be even more serious!
But, just as he had expected, even though the murderer had killed three people, burned the ransom money, and committed so many crimes, the police had very few clues about the murderer. Although they had done a lot of investigation, there was little progress.
As time passed, both the Jinping police and Zhao Yu felt extremely pressured!
In the end, the Jinping police had no choice but to come up with a plan. They discussed with the pharmaceutical factory's board of directors, then issued a safety confinement order to all the employees in the pharmaceutical factory, asking them to pay attention to their own safety and be more vigilant. Moreover, they were to stay at home when they weren't on duty.
One could imagine that, after the order was issued, it undoubtedly caused a huge uproar among the employees of the pharmaceutical factory!
With the death of three people, the factory was already filled with rumors. Then, with the safety confinement order, it further confirmed some of the people's guesses.
All of a sudden, the pharmaceutical factory was filled with internal and external troubles. Everyone was in a state of panic, so many workshops and departments had to close down temporarily. There were even some who stayed in their units, not daring to even return home!
Besides, the explosive news inevitably spread to all the branches of Changxin Longtai. One could imagine the negative impact it would have.
Although the impact of the Hasty Murder Case was getting more and more difficult to control, when it was eleven at night, Zhao Yu still drove somewhere to settle a "personal matter."
However, as he had gotten a Kun hexagram that day, Zhao Yu thought that the "personal matter" might become a "business matter"!
According to the system notification, the side quest would take place at eleven fifty-nine at night. After comparing it with the map, Zhao Yu was surprised to find out that the location of the side quest was actually a hospital!
What was even more surprising was that it wasn't just a hospital, but a special hospital, Jinping Huaxin Psychological Hospital!
Psychological hospital was just a name on the surface, but the common saying was that it was a mental hospital!
Honestly speaking, Zhao Yu was really curious. Why would the side quest that day point to such a special place?
He checked the information. Although Huaxin Psychological Hospital was a private hospital, in terms of scale, it was the largest psychological hospital in Jinping!
To put it simply on the internet, more than half of the mental patients in Jinping were staying there!
Luckily!
Luckily …
When Zhao Yu drove to the hospital and found the exact location of the side quest, he let out a sigh of relief. The location of the side quest wasn't in the hospital ward, but the backyard of the hospital, which was right next to the wall of the north building!
