Another late night, due to new developments in the case, Zhao Yu did not choose to rest as usual, but continued to stay in the office to analyze the case.
"No, I'm sure not..." Zeng Ke said, holding a stack of documents, "Team leader, no one's movement trajectory is completely consistent with the video murder case!
"Except for Kang Ziqing, no one can even appear on the payroll for eight consecutive years, so..." Zeng Ke reluctantly came to a conclusion, "Judging from the current data, Kang Ziqing is the most suspicious!"
"Tsk tsk..." Faced with this query result, Zhao Yu also felt very surprised.
He fully thought that through the investigation of the payroll, he would be able to find a new suspect, but now it seems that he is undoubtedly very disappointed.
The film and television company where Kang Ziqing worked had a very high turnover of personnel. After searching through the entire salary bill, it turned out that only the name Kang Ziqing had the highest appearance rate!
Moreover, due to the different needs of each film and television crew, the participants were dispatched from different places. Kang Ziqing's partners kept changing like a revolving door, and there were basically no people he worked with regularly.
As Zeng Ke said, looking at the entire payroll, Kang Ziqing is the only person who is close to the track of the video murder case!
Therefore, no matter which angle you look at it, Kang Ziqing is still the one with the greatest suspicion!
Could it be that... Cui Lizhu was right
The case itself is not complicated, but are you overthinking it? Kang Ziqing is the only murderer? Were those girls brutally murdered by him? He also shot the murder video
But... why
Why... are there still so many doubts
For example, in 2003 and 2004, he was obviously still working normally, but why did the video murder case stop for two years
Also, judging from the salary slip, Kang Ziqing simply cannot afford such an expensive camera. Where did his camera come from? How did he learn camera technology
In addition, although his movement trajectory is highly similar to the video murder case, it is not 100% consistent.
For example, the eighth victim, Gong Yili, was from NY City, Guizhou Province. However, looking at Kang Ziqing's pay slip, he had never been to Guizhou.
During the time when Gong Yili was murdered, he was helping a filming crew in Nanjiang Province, hundreds of kilometers away.
Although there was still a possibility of committing the crime in time, why would he go hundreds of kilometers away to kill a girl he didn't know at all
Why is there such a strange phenomenon in the evidence about Kang Ziqing? You can’t completely rule him out, but you can’t be 100% sure either
Is he the murderer
The more Zhao Yu thought about it, the more anxious he became. The anger in his heart suddenly burst out, and he felt his ears buzzing again...
Damn it!
This time, Zhao Yu was not as anxious as before. He quickly sat down on the chair and forced himself to calm down.
"Team leader, are you okay?" Zeng Ke had already experienced this once. When he saw that Zhao Yu was in a bad state, he did not rush forward to help him, but quickly poured him a cup of hot water.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Zhao Yu closed his eyes to calm down. Then he felt that his ears had recovered a little, so he took the hot water and took a few sips.
"It's too late today," Zeng Ke advised, "otherwise, leave this place to us!"
"No, there are still some things I haven't figured out yet..." Zhao Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
With that said, he returned to the whiteboard and continued to analyze the case.
"Alas!" Zeng Ke shook his head helplessly and stood next to Zhao Yu and said, "The reason why this case is different from the ones we have dealt with before is because the biggest suspect Kang Ziqing has passed away!
“If he was still alive, maybe we wouldn’t have to be so difficult!
"But, having said that..." Zeng Ke said slightly disappointed, "If Kang Ziqing is the real murderer, he is already dead. Even if we try him and convict him, what will happen
"Peipei and I have discussed this issue before," Zeng Ke looked at the whiteboard with melancholy in his eyes, "What will happen if this case is not uncovered
"Pei Pei saw with his own eyes that Miao Xiaowen's family came to claim the body... Sigh..." He lamented, and Mo Yan said, "You said, what will they do when they learn that the murderer of their daughter has passed away? Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable
"I'm missing, but I still have something to think about, but now..."
"Zeng Ke, don't think so much," Zhao Yu looked at the whiteboard and said consolingly, "Our duty is to find out the truth. No matter how sad the truth is, we cannot waver!
"You can't ignore the truth just because you're afraid of exposing scars!" Zhao Yu said resolutely, "The reason why I persist is because I'm afraid that there are other circumstances in this case, and I'm afraid that the real culprit is someone else, so... there is no evidence. There is no doubt that we must not close the case easily!
"Although Kang Ziqing is dead, if he is the real culprit, we will never let him go; however, if he is not the real culprit, we can't unjustly accuse a dead man!"
"Hmm... I understand," Zeng Ke nodded silently and said, "I just thought about it. Didn't Li Mo say that Kang Ziqing had a problem with petty theft
"Do you think the camera was stolen from a certain crew? As long as we can find the lost record of the camera, can we find any clues?"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Zhao Yu suddenly became more energetic, "I'll send a message to Cui Lizhu right now and ask her to focus on investigating this matter!
"But..." Zhao Yu suddenly thought, "What if Kang Ziqing didn't steal it? Don't forget, his job is to transport props, equipment and actors!
"Is it possible that the cameras are ready-made and just placed in his car? They are used on the way. If they are returned after they are used up, then the records will not be lost!"
"Yes," Zeng Ke nodded, "But what about the video tapes? Not only are the video tapes valuable, but there is no place to buy them, they are all imported!
"I think the crew should be very strict about the video tapes, right?"
"Yes, you can indeed consider this aspect..."
In this way, Zhao Yu and Zeng Ke discussed until late at night, and then they went back to their houses to rest.
The advantage of Fengping Police Station is that the lounge and office are in the same corridor. The facilities and environment of the lounge are also relatively good, almost the same as those of a fast hotel.
It wasn't until he finished washing that Zhao Yu finally felt tired.
This kind of fatigue was all mental fatigue, which made Zhao Yu, who was already in a bad state, even worse.
In recent days, he had to rely on invisible sleeping pills every day to fall asleep. Although the system props had no side effects, he still felt dependent on sleeping pills in recent days. If he didn't use them, he would never be able to sleep.
Fortunately, through previous adventures, he had obtained a considerable amount of sleeping pills, dozens of them, so there was no need to exercise restraint for the time being.
So, after getting into bed, Zhao Yu mixed up a sleeping pill and took it.
Unexpectedly, just after taking the medicine, a WeChat message suddenly appeared on my phone. He opened it and saw that the message was sent to him by Cui Lizhu:
"Boss, are you asleep? If you are, I'll tell you tomorrow!"
This girl...
Zhao Yu knew that Cui Lizhu's investigation mission was a top priority, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately replied to her with a message, saying that he was getting ready to sleep, and asked her what was new.
Buzzing…
As a result, just as the message was sent, Cui Lizhu called:
"Boss, I want to talk to you," Cui Lizhu said straight to the point, "I have also sent people here to compare, and there are no other suspects in the film and television company.
"I want to ask, do you still insist that Kang Ziqing is innocent?"
"This..." Zhao Yu asked back, "Is this what you want to ask me so late at night?"
"Of course not," Cui Lizhu said with rare seriousness. "After the video call, I sent someone to contact five employees who had worked with Kang Ziqing. Through phone inquiries, I got an important message:
"They all said that while Kang Ziqing was working, he spent most of his money on drinking, smoking and playing cards. However, he never had a date or found a girl...
"Boss, Kang Ziqing was at the age when he was like a wolf and a tiger. Don't you think this is a bit unusual?" Cui Lizhu said seriously, "Even if he is not schizophrenic, there must be something wrong with his psychology!"
