That evening, Zhao Yu stayed alone in the office, still thinking about the case in front of the whiteboard.
In the past two days, the "Gen" hexagram representing the progress of the case has not been drawn, which shows that Zhao Yu's current investigation has not made substantial progress.
Therefore, Zhao Yu is thinking hard, is there something wrong with his investigation
Did you go in the wrong direction, or did you imagine this case too simply
To be honest, Zhao Yu really didn't take the well case seriously from the beginning because he had solved five major unsolved cases.
He believes that his past experience alone is enough to solve this case.
However, as of today, the investigation has forced him to re-examine the case.
Although, he came up with a new idea during the day, thinking that as long as he found the reason why the four victims offended the murderer and understood the murderer's hatred, the case could be solved.
However, investigating the motive for the murder is not easy.
Just like the previous corpse storage case in the bank, even the victim did not know when he offended the murderer, and others had no way of knowing.
Therefore, if you want to understand the murderer's motive for killing, sometimes it is difficult to understand it from one side. This requires mastering a large amount of information and understanding all the information about the victim.
However, Ba Hongxue and Wang Pengyi are already dead. They don't have many friends and relatives, and they have offended so many people during their lifetimes. It is obviously difficult to know who has been trying to kill them for revenge.
If this was a new case that had just occurred, Zhao Yu might still have many solutions, but even the most recent victim had been dead for more than three years, and a lot of evidence had disappeared, so there was no way to start.
what to do
what to do
Facing the whiteboard and looking at the four corpses in the photo, Zhao Yu felt helpless.
He hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time.
Although many cases seemed bizarre, they never really troubled him. However, this seemingly ordinary well case stopped him in his tracks.
In the end... why
Zhao Yu turned to look at the photo of the well, and then turned his attention to the well.
So far, he still hasn't figured out why the murderer chose this well located in the deep mountains and old forests.
Although he knew that this well was the key to solving the case, he couldn't figure out what mystery it contained.
Now even the wells have been demolished, and nothing has been found except fingerprints and handprints on the bricks and cement.
Buzz...buzz...
Suddenly, Zhao Yu's cell phone rang. The call was from Miao Ying.
Miao Ying informed Zhao Yu that experts had made heads of the remaining two skeletons and that they could go and take a look.
So, Zhao Yu left the office, went to the Missing Persons Section, and saw the two 3D portraits that had been prepared.
But I saw that the appearance of the two deceased people was relatively ordinary, the kind of faces that would be quickly forgotten if thrown into the crowd.
However, because experts took their age into consideration, the two of them looked a little older.
"Xiao Zhao," Zhang Jingfeng said to Zhao Yu, "I will get the comparison picture of the portrait right now and compare it with the database. Although the reshaped avatar may be biased, we still have to try it."
"Well... let's do it!" After Zhao Yu nodded, he said to Zhang Yaohui who was waiting aside, "Team Zhang, I don't want to send out the portraits yet to do a large-scale corpse identification revelation.
"I'm worried that if the murderer sees it, he will alert him!"
"Yes, I think so too!" Zhang Jingfeng said positively, "Let's see what the results of the comparison are first!
"Large-scale identification of corpses is a last resort and should only be used when absolutely necessary."
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Yaohui nodded in agreement.
"Also," Zhao Yu urged again, "Although the probability is very small, there must be someone on duty at the well. Once a suspicious person is found approaching the well, he will be arrested first and questioned!"
"Don't worry," Zhang Yaohui said, "the employees of the Joint Forestry Farm at Zhangze Police Station have been watching the crime scene these days! I will also send a group of people there tomorrow... "
After leaving the Disappearance Section, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but Zhao Yu and Miao Ying still studied the case together until ten o'clock in the night before returning to the hotel to rest.
Although Zhao Yu had corrected his attitude and began to take the case seriously, he did not expect that everything was just the beginning.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and the water well case has still stalled with no progress.
During this week, Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin sent back more detailed information about the two deceased people. However, due to the age, it would take longer to restore the life trajectory of the deceased.
In addition, the portrait aspect is also in a quagmire. Due to errors in the restored portrait technology, through database comparison, the computer actually found more than 20,000 suspected targets.
After the police dispatched the age factor, there were still more than 7,000. Because the family of the deceased did not report the crime, the police had no idea about the disappearance of the suspected targets and could only investigate more than 7,000 targets one by one.
As a result, the delay can be imagined.
In addition, experts have made no progress in genetic mapping. Through the DNA identification of the two deceased persons, they found that the sequences of the two deceased persons did not appear in the existing samples, and even the general area where they were located could not be determined.
Therefore, this clue can only end in failure.
During the seven days, Zhao Yu was never idle. He conducted detailed inspections of the autopsy reports of the bones and the remains of the deceased no less than ten times, trying to find any clues.
However, the skeleton of the deceased has no unique characteristics. Except for the broken nose bridge on No. 3 and the lack of front teeth on No. 4, there are no other obvious features.
The relics of the deceased are also popular items and have no investigative value.
Zhao Yu even sent people to collect folklore near Tuoshan to see if there was any talk about water wells in local customs.
However, the police officers visited nearby villages but did not hear a single story about the well.
What's worse is that during the seven days, Zhao Yu's hexagrams were extremely unsatisfactory. Only on the fourth day did he draw a "Gen" hexagram.
However, after the end of the day, Zhao Yu realized that the "Gen" hexagram did not represent the Shuijing case, but the "Memoirs of a Murder" case that he had been paying attention to.
Because, he received a report from Wang Can that day, saying that through unremitting efforts, Yaoming police finally verified another murder incident. The incident was exactly the same as described in "Memoirs of a Murder"...
However, at this time, Zhao Yu was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the murder memoirs. He had already made up his mind and concentrated all his energy on the Shuijing case.
He believes that the reason why the Shuijing case has stalled must be related to his command, and there must be some way to speed up the progress.
It must be that I haven't worked hard enough and overlooked something...
For this reason, he never returned to his hometown once in seven days and never saw an old friend. Although Xiao Huangmao Zhou Yang and others called him every day and asked him to drink, he never responded once.
He locked himself in his office every day, thinking hard about the case, analyzing it carefully, and entered a long-lost state of madness.
For example, today, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, but he was still standing in front of the whiteboard, studying something.
Maybe it was due to professional sensitivity or experience. After studying all the details, Zhao Yu always had a feeling that the thing he had ignored would soon appear...
