As the car sped along, the scenery outside the window quickly passed by.
However, Zhao Yu and the others in the car were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
At this moment, they were on the way to Jiangxing County to check the scene in person and meet the informant named Liu Yubao.
Jiangxing County was 110 kilometers away from Beiqian. Fortunately, there was an expressway. If they were fast enough, they could arrive at the scene within an hour.
"Zeng Ke just sent a message!" In the car, Miao Ying looked at her mobile phone and said, "He has already checked Liu Yubao's identity. His brother-in-law has a very strong background in the local area. Liu Yubao relied on his brother-in-law's name to dominate the school and bully his classmates. Even the teachers were angry but didn't dare to say anything!
Miao Ying then added, "And … Lang Xiangqian has confirmed that Jiangxing County and nearby counties and cities are within the scope of his company's business. Han Kuan must have been there! So … Han Kuan has a high chance of finding Liu Yubao!"
In the car, Zhao Yu pointed to his notebook and said, "In the early morning of December 26th, Han Kuan should have done another case, but for some reason, it didn't succeed!"
"None of the nine cases in the Devil Case happened near Jiangxing County!" Ran Tao then said, "So, this place has been ignored by the police and has nothing to do with the Devil Case!"
"In this way, everything matches!" Han Kuan went to Guang 'an on December 23rd, and in the early morning of December 25th, he committed the last crime in the Devil Case! However, after committing the crime, he did not return to Beiqian. Instead, he went directly from Guang 'an to Jiangxing, intending to kill another person there! And that target is Liu Yubao! "
"He's really crazy!" Ran Tao sighed and said, "Is he crazy? You want to kill one a day? His original plan was to leave on December 27th. Is he going to kill another one on the 27th? "
"I think …" Zhao Yu said, "Han Kuan must have investigated the relevant information in advance. That's why he dared to kill so many people! His goal is very clear! "
"I wonder what made Han Kuan stop when he was about to kill Liu Yubao?" Miao Ying was puzzled, but then she answered her own question and guessed, "I guess there must have been an accident. Could it be … someone else saw it? "
"It's highly possible!" Ran Tao said, "Liu Yubao woke up in the corridor on the top floor. He was almost there, so there was no reason for him to stop, right? Someone must have seen it! "
"But … If there is a witness, why hasn't this person come forward? And why did Han Kuan look so panicked when he returned to Beiqian?" Miao Ying thought for a moment, then said, "Also, why did Han Kuan look so scared when he returned to Beiqian? If the witness saw his face clearly, then he wouldn't have to frame Lang Xiangyang, right? "
"Wow!" Ran Tao was shocked, so he quickly covered his chest and guessed, "Do you think it's possible that the witness did appear and disrupted Han Kuan's killing plan? But … But … Han Kuan killed the witness! Was it because he didn't use his usual killing method, which was to kill in a hurry and dispose of the body in a hurry … that was why he seemed so flustered!? Is that why you left Beiqian early and fled back to your hometown? "
"This …" Miao Ying frowned and sighed heavily. "If that's the case, it would be great if we could find the body! But … Alas … "
Zhao Yu naturally knew the reason for Miao Ying's sigh. After so many years, even if there was such a body, how could they find it?
At that moment, Zhao Yu even felt that going to Jiangxing was a mistake! Just think about it, what could he do even if he went to the crime scene? Liu Yubao said that the Jiahe community had been built many years ago, so it was now considered an old residential area. So, how could there be any clues left?
Before this, they had also asked Liu Yubao if there was any evidence left when he was in a coma, such as clothes, shoes, and hats.
However, Liu Yubao's answer was naturally no. Even if the clothes could still be found, they must have been washed many times. So, the possibility of finding evidence was slim.
However, when he thought of the Gen and Kun hexagram that he had gotten today, Zhao Yu regained his confidence. He firmly believed that there must be some truth to the side adventure's revelation, so this trip to Jiangxing was very necessary.
The driver knew that Zhao Yu and the others were in a hurry, so he didn't care about speeding or traffic violations. He drove more than 150 kilometers per hour, and in less than an hour, they arrived at Jiangxing County.
According to the navigation, they soon arrived at the entrance of the Jiahe community. Although Jiangxing County was not under the jurisdiction of Jinyuan Province, the name of the Special Investigation Group was well-known. So, there were local criminal police officers waiting there early in the morning. Liu Yubao, the informant, also came to the scene and showed Zhao Yu and the others where he had woken up from his coma.
"Police officer, when I woke up, it was already sunrise. I remember it very clearly …" Liu Yubao pointed to a residential building in the community. "I woke up in the corridor of the highest floor of this building. The big bump on the back of my head took a long time to heal …"
"Team Leader … Then, we …" Miao Ying pointed to the corridor, meaning that they should go up and have a look now.
However, looking at the old and dilapidated residential building, Zhao Yu didn't say anything. He frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, Zhao Yu turned to Liu Yubao and asked, "Try to remember … After you woke up, did you find anything unusual?"
"Anything else?" Liu Yubao thought for a moment, then said, "No. I just couldn't figure it out … I didn't realize where I was until I left the community and walked on the street! "
"Then … Did you see anyone?"
"No … Not a single person!" Liu Yubao said affirmatively. "This area was very remote back then! Some of the buildings weren't even roofed! It was the Lunar New Year, so there weren't many people on the street, let alone in the community. I walked for a long time before I found a motorcycle to take me home! "
"Police officer …" At this time, a local policeman came forward and reported, "We investigated in detail. At that time, the developer and the government had a little conflict, so the construction site was completely shut down during the Lunar New Year. There wasn't even a guard at the gate!"
It was December 26th, yet another remote and unfinished residential area …
Zhao Yu muttered to himself, then entered the corridor and went up to the sixth floor, where Liu Yubao had woken up years ago.
The corridor was dilapidated, and the residents on both sides of the corridor had lived there for many years. The doors were closed.
Obviously, it was impossible to find anything from fifteen years ago. However, Zhao Yu looked at the dim corridor and started pacing.
Shaoqing, he walked to the window of the corridor. Due to the years of disrepair, the glass on the window was gone. Standing there, he could feel the cold wind blowing against his face.
Zhao Yu looked out of the window and saw that the street outside was very deserted. But … When he stopped and looked out, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
"Yes, the 26th of the Lunar New Year! Fifteen years ago on December 26th … "Zhao Yu murmured, then said to Miao Ying," Team Leader Miao, did you notice? Actually, we already have a very precise time! "
"Oh …" Miao Ying was smart, so she immediately understood what Zhao Yu had said. She quickly turned around and ordered the local criminal police officers, "Go and find out if there was any case that happened on December 26th, 15 years ago, near this neighborhood. It doesn't matter if it's a big or small case, even if there's only one police report! "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu looked at his watch, then said with a solemn expression, "Time is running out, so you must find out for us as soon as possible! Otherwise, if the Devil Case is delayed, I will hold you accountable! "
Zhao Yu's words were very serious, so the local police officers did not dare to neglect them. They immediately rushed downstairs and reported to the police station.
As they went downstairs, Ran Tao whispered to Zhao Yu and Miao Ying, "Team Leaders … Really? If there's a case nearby … Um … Oh … "Ran Tao suddenly understood the point and said," I see. I forgot that no one knows about Liu Yubao's case, so … "
"So, even if there was a case here, no one would associate it with the Devil Case!" Zhao Yu said. "But, if Han Kuan really had an accident here, this may be our only chance!"
While they were talking, the three of them went downstairs one after another.
