"From the information we have so far, Wei Youfu probably went to the ecological forest at the outskirts of Xin Lu because he received some information from Jiang Jiang. In fact, the ecological forest might even be the black forest depicted in Jiang Jiang's painting."
"The 8th victim did not leave any traces on the Internet from birth to death. It was as if she was kept in captivity in an isolated place. Maybe the 8th victim's home, or the murderer's home, is in that ecological forest!"
Hearing Li Xue's words, Han Fei was excited.
At this point, there was already a clear direction for the case to go.
"The ecological forest is connected to Xin Lu Tomb Mountain, it's going to be difficult to enter. We need to find more clues to convince the higher-ups. Thankfully, my teacher and I made a more crucial discovery in our investigation. "Li Xue's voice was tinged with excitement.
"What discovery?"
"The killer has underestimated Wei Youfu and Jiang Jiang!" Li Xue said confidently, "The ecological forest is huge. To find a black house inside it is like searching for a needle in a haystack. We need to know its exact location."
Jiang Jiang was able to draw the black forest, the black house, and the large group of headless people, so there's a high chance that he knows the location of the black house. To torture him, the murderer purposely brought this kind-hearted tramp to visit the human flesh factory to constantly agitate him and make him go even crazier. Wei Youfu was just an ordinary office worker, and he had no experience in jungle exploration. But it was these two people who created a miracle. "
"Jiang Jiang, who has low intelligence and can't even speak a complete sentence, successfully passed the location of the black room to Wei Youfu, and Wei Youfu actually believed the words of the 'lunatic' by the roadside and went to investigate twice."
"Kindness met kindness, and they helped each other. It also brought us the most crucial clue to solve the case!"
"Wei Youfu did not discover anything when he first went to the ecological forest but the day before his death, he went to the forest again. This time, he was probably very close to the black house! Because of that, the killer made his move! "Li Xue's voice slowed." Han Fei, is there anyone else around you? "
Han Fei looked around. "No, I'm the only one here."
"That's good." Li Xue took a deep breath. "What I'm going to tell you next, before we catch the killer, do not tell anyone."
"Okay."
"We went through the case file. When Wei Youfu was murdered, everything inside his computer and phone was emptied. Since the other victims' computers and phones were also emptied, the police did not notice anything out of the ordinary. They merely assumed the killer was a cautious person. They had the tech team recover the information on the phones and computers, but they found nothing.
"But when the police went through Wei Youfu's belongings, they found a muddy torn shirt inside his second-hand car.
"The police didn't care about it at the time. They just took it back as a suspicious item."
"My teacher and I retrieved the photos of the evidence from that time and used the computer to enlarge and restore the incomplete and blurry pattern on the cloth. Then, we used the latest data analysis equipment to filter and compare it with the pattern in the online gallery. In the end, we found that the pattern was on a child's clothing ten years ago."
"It looks like this when it's complete." Li Xue sent a picture to Han Fei. It was a child's outfit from a fake brand.
"You managed to convince your superiors to reopen the investigation on the human jigsaw case with just this child's clothing? Why did you mobilize so many police officers to search the ecological forest? "Han Fei was confused.
"Take a look at this picture, this is the last image of the missing child from the children's home." Li Xue sent Han Fei another picture. After reading it, Han Fei sucked in a cold breath.
The child who claimed to see ghosts at night was wearing the child's clothing in the picture on the day of his disappearance!
"The child's clothing was found inside Wei Youfu's car. Wei Youfu had just returned from the ecological forest. The muddy torn shirt was probably brought back by him from the forest. Then, less than a day later, he was brutally murdered by the killer."
"All of this forms a closed loop. The torn shirt that appeared inside Wei Youfu's car is the real evidence! We have reason to believe that the killer has some kind of connection with the ecological forest. "
Logic alone was not enough to restart the investigation. Li Xue and her teacher needed a reason that could convince the higher-ups. "I'm not going to tell you the exact time of the operation. What you need to do now is watch out for your own safety and wait for the good news at home."
"Li Xue, I have a small question to ask you." After hearing what Li Xue had to say, Han Fei was reminded of something. "Assuming the killer of the human jigsaw case lives inside the ecological forest, then the child's death at the children's home should be related to him as well. After all, Wei Youfu found the child's clothing inside the ecological forest."
"You have a point, please continue."
"Then do you think the missing child at the children's home, the one who claimed to see ghosts at night, could the ghost he saw be the killer?" Han Fei stood in the shadow and his mind spun. "The human jigsaw case's killer adopted the 8th victim. Jiang Jiang's drawing also showed that there were many headless people inside the black forest. If they were all children, then who do you think has the ability to collect so many orphans and abandoned babies?"
"The … director of the children's home?" Li Xue was shocked by Han Fei's words.
Actually, Han Fei was reminded of the song sung by the 8th victim — Big brother and big sister were sent far away, little brother and little sister were left behind. The 8th victim's home had more than one child. Taking care of these children was very troublesome, it required a certain level of experience.
"Other than that, Jiang Jiang was hired because he picked up the children's home's director's wallet. Based on what you said earlier, the killer likes to enjoy the feeling of being betrayed, treated with hostility and disgust. Coincidentally, the director knew that Jiang Jiang was an extremely kind person." Han Fei's mind spun faster and faster. "Do you think it's possible that the director thought Jiang Jiang looked exactly like the kind person in his mind? Ugly, retarded, reeking of stench, that's why he sent Jiang Jiang to work at the children's home? Does he want to treat Jiang Jiang as his toy? "
"That's possible. I'll call the teacher now to look into this."
