In order to better solve this major murder case, the Tongjiang Provincial Office did not hesitate to transfer a marine police ship with advanced equipment to the island's pier to serve as a command ship.
It was nearly 12 o 'clock at night, but the command ship was still bustling with people.
After investigating the scene, Zhao Yu and the others returned to the command ship.
In the past, when investigating major cases, the special investigation group led by Zhao Yu had generally cooperated with the local police station, providing guidance, but not commanding.
But, this time, something unexpected happened in Quliang. The local leader gave up the command room to Zhao Yu and the others, wanting to hand over all the power to Zhao Yu.
Although Zhao Yu was good at solving cases, it was impossible for him to command so many departments at once. Moreover, the case was urgent, so he didn't have the time to preside over the overall situation.
So, after a brief explanation, he asked the local leader to prepare a small office for them on the ship, so that he could concentrate on studying the case.
In fact, the local leader had never encountered such a big case before, so he thought that the Criminal Division had sent a special task force to take full responsibility for the case. After hearing Zhao Yu's explanation, they finally understood the responsibilities of the special investigation group.
However, the special investigation group was of the highest level, so the local leader did not dare to neglect it. Not only did he arrange the best cabin for them, but he also arranged several smart police officers to serve them.
Zhao Yu knew that the first 24 hours after the crime was the critical period for solving the case, so he couldn't afford to be careless. So, as soon as they entered their office, they immediately sent people to collect the relevant evidence of the case and began to study the case.
At this moment, Captain Dou had gone to thoroughly investigate the crew's speedboat. He believed that the person who drove the speedboat from Yongjin Island back to land must be the biggest suspect in the case! As long as this person could be found, the case would inevitably have a big lead. Therefore, he had applied for martial law and began to investigate the whereabouts of this person in the Quliang area.
Originally, the two survivors were also detained on the command ship, so Zhao Yu and the others planned to interrogate them first.
However, a sudden incident disrupted their rhythm, forcing them to put down the two survivors and shift their attention to another area.
After the forensic team found the USB flash drive in the cameraman's mouth, they first found a chemical symbol on the makeup artist's neck, and then they found a big cross on the stomach of the dead scriptwriter, Cai Jinda!
After seeing these two discoveries, Zhao Yu instinctively realized that the isolated island murder case had completely changed. Perhaps, the truth of the case was even more complicated than he had imagined!
These symbols were obviously left behind by the murderer on purpose. So, Zhao Yu's top priority was to decipher the meaning of these symbols as soon as possible to prevent any changes to the case.
Zeng Ke pointed to the picture on the screen and said, "The cross was also drawn with an oil pencil. After it was drawn, the handwriting wasn't dry yet, so it was smeared by the clothes, so the handwriting became a little blurred! However … if the person who wrote the words was still alive, the handwriting might have become even more blurred. So, the possibility of the person writing after killing the person is very high! "
"What a surprise …" Wu Xiumin frowned and said, "Cefuroxime's molecular formula, and a big cross. Why would the murderer draw such a thing?"
"They were all killed! If these things were really left behind by the murderer, then … "Zhao Yu looked at the cross on the screen and said," It's very likely that he wanted to tell us something! "
"Yes, but … What did he want to tell us?" Wu Xiumin asked. "Cefuroxime is just a cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drug, which is widely used. What does the murderer mean by giving us this?"
"I … Um …" Zeng Ke pointed to the computer and said, "Well, the makeup artist is called Qin Hao. Since the molecular formula is written on her neck, I'll check it out and see if this person has anything to do with cefuroxime …"
After that, Zeng Ke began to type on the computer. Zhao Yu suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly told an agent sent by the Quliang Police Station, "Please take these two pictures to the interrogation room and see if the two survivors know anything about cefuroxime and the cross!"
"Okay …" The young agent hurriedly took the tablet and left.
At this time, another police officer came to report, "The boss and the person in charge of Champion Pictures are all here. Would you like to meet them?"
"No!" Zhao Yu said simply. "You can send someone to meet them first and find out more about the crew!"
"Okay …" Wu Xiumin took the order and left.
At this time, Zhao Yu saw that there was no whiteboard in the command room, so he ordered another police officer to prepare it. In order not to delay the study of the case, he took out a large piece of white paper and began to write on it.
Later, someone brought him a map of Yongjin Island, as well as detailed information and photos of the crime scene.
The photos on the USB flash drive, cefuroxime, and the mysterious cross …
After thinking about it over and over again, Zhao Yu felt more and more strange! The case in front of him seemed to be different from all the murder cases he had dealt with before. If it was just a simple murder, the murderer would not have left so many clues, and the murder would not have taken so much trouble!
Who is this mysterious murderer? What does he want?
At this time, Zeng Ke came over with a computer and said, "Leader, I didn't find anything about cefuroxime, but … I seem to have found a little clue about the cross!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhao Yu quickly stopped thinking and came to the computer to look at it. Wu Xiumin also came over curiously.
"Look …" Zeng Ke pointed to the computer and said, "The cross appeared on the scriptwriter. So, I put the screenwriter, the screenwriter's name, and the word 'cross' together and looked it up. Then, from the information I found, I found this picture! "
"What is this?"
Zhao Yu and Wu Xiumin saw that the picture was a manuscript full of words. Because the words were already full, there was an arrow in one of the blank spaces. Then, there was a "+" sign, and more words were added after the "+" sign.
"What does this mean?" Wu Xiumin was puzzled. "The words are too small. I can't see what's written clearly!"
"Wu Xiumin, this picture shows a script that is commonly used on a shooting set!" Zeng Ke explained. "Actors, directors, scriptwriters, and assistants all have a script in their hands! So, I feel that the mysterious cross should be related to the script! And … "
Before Zeng Ke could finish speaking, Zhao Yu's mobile phone suddenly rang. At the same time, the police officer who had been sent out earlier came back to report!
"Leader, leader," the young policeman said excitedly as he held the tablet. "I just asked the two of them, and the actress said that the cross might be a plus sign. Whenever the screenwriter or director added scenes on the set, they would draw such a plus sign on the script, and then add more scenes to the plot!
She also said that the scriptwriter Cai is famous for adding scenes to the cast, and often makes the actors miserable! "Zhao Yu said.
Oh?
Adding scenes?
Just as Zhao Yu was surprised by this, his mobile phone kept ringing. He took it out and saw that it was from Gao.
"Leader Zhao, I think we should establish a video call as soon as it's convenient on your side!" Gao said. "I've arranged everything here, and we're ready to start! But, before the body has been examined, we have found a lot of things.
I'm afraid that I'll delay your important matters, so let's video call! I'll tell you one by one! "
