"Sister Wu," Zhao Yu asked Wu Xiumin under everyone's astonished gaze, "you just said that regarding this case, do you feel that it is difficult to psychologically profile the murderer?"
"Yes!" Wu Xiumin nodded, "On the one hand, there are too few similar cases to conduct effective information comparison; on the other hand, in this case, the murderer's personality seems to have a certain conflict, which always makes me think Reasoning creates contradictions.”
"That's right!" Zhao Yu said, "If there is more than one murderer, does that explain your second question?"
"More than one person..." Wu Xiumin frowned deeply, "Is there more than one person?"
"That's it," Zhao Yu said, "ever since the case at Guandi Temple, I've always felt that something was wrong!
“Now it seems that the problem probably lies here!
"Have you noticed that it is not easy for the murderer to arrange such a complicated murder scene?"
"This..." Everyone fell into deep thought.
"Think about it..." Zhao Yu said, "The murderer of Niu Jinkui had to investigate Niu Jinkui's living habits in advance and avoid camera surveillance;
“Then, he also needs to identify the location where the crime was committed, familiarize himself with the environment where the crime was committed, and ensure that he would not be disturbed;
"Secondly, he had to prepare a large number of crime tools, and also give the victim detailed makeup and dress up...
"In addition, he needs to use chemical reagents to decompose the poisonous rat poison and accurately inject it into the victim's digestive tract and gastrointestinal tract...
"In addition, he also had to anesthetize, bind, transport and kill the victim. He even had to set up scenes, such as the guqin, to dress the victim up as in the Ghost King's Record. The amount of work was not small. ah!"
"Oh..." Cui Lizhu realized, "So... you think the murderer is not one person, but there is a helper? For example, the second case that happened in the ghost town?"
"Anyway, this is what I felt was wrong before," Zhao Yu said. "I feel that the case is too complicated and cannot be handled by one person!"
"But..." Wu Xiumin objected, "If careful preparation and rehearsal are carried out in advance, it is not impossible for one person to complete it independently, right
"After all, the autopsy report pointed out that the murderer used a large dose of anesthetics when kidnapping the victim," Wu Xiumin analyzed. "Also, the place and time chosen by the murderer ensured that no one would disturb him throughout the night, so he had Plenty of time and conditions to commit the crime!
"I think as long as the murderer has the strength to drag the victim, one person can still do it alone!"
"Yes..." Cui Lizhu scratched her head, "Niu Jinkui and Shen Wenbin both weigh less than 60 kilograms. If they are a slightly stronger person, then it will be no problem to carry them on their shoulders and carry out small-scale transfers, right?"
"But..." Captain Zhang Ling pondered, "The first case may be completed independently, but what about the second case? Even if there are accomplices, we still can't explain the surveillance?"
"Captain Zhang..." Zhao Yu said, "Because it's already dark today, there may be some things that you can't see clearly. How about this? You can ask the experts to check the surveillance cameras early tomorrow morning to see if there are any other clues
"After all, surveillance is not a trivial matter. It may become the key to solving the case!"
"Okay," Zhang Ling nodded, "I know what to do!"
"Boss, boss... found it, found it..." As soon as Zhang Ling finished speaking, Ran Tao quickly ran into the office with his mobile phone and reported to Zhao Yuhui, "We came from a private shop outside the community where Niu Jinkui's family lives. The tricycle was found in the camera!”
"Oh?" Zhao Yu immediately cheered up when he heard the news about the tricycle.
"look… "
Ran Tao opened the frozen video in front of Zhao Yu, and saw a relatively blurry tricycle appearing in the video. However, Zhao Yu could still see that this tricycle was very similar to the electric tricycle in the second case.
"It was a barber shop. Because there was a dispute in the shop that the owner rented, he was worried about retaliation, so he installed a camera, and this was captured. Unfortunately, the camera was cheap and the image was a bit blurry... "
"What about... time?" Zhao Yu asked while looking at the video.
"Just right," Ran Tao replied, "there is a four-and-a-half-minute difference between the time Niu Jinkui came out of the community and disappeared into the blind spot.
"We simply measured the speed and found that Niu Jinkui could walk to the monitored road in 3 minutes, but he did not appear in the end.
"So, he was most likely kidnapped by this electric tricycle! Oh no, it was the person driving the tricycle!
"Boss, look..." Ran Tao opened the map on his mobile phone again and pointed out the location of the barber shop, "This is located in a small alley without surveillance!
“So, the murderer took advantage of Niu Jinkui’s unpreparedness and stunned him, then loaded Niu Jinkui into a tricycle and left along this path!
"It's a pity..." Ran Tao pointed to another location on the map, "It is a wilderness with many intersecting roads. We still need time to capture the movements of the tricycle..."
"This shouldn't be difficult, right?" Cui Lizhu said, "The tricycle must be heading towards the Guandi Temple?"
"Do you still need to remind me about this?" Ran Tao narrowed his eyes, "I have already sent someone to get the surveillance there!"
"But..." Wu Xiumin shook her head and said, "Even if we can be sure that this tricycle is the same one as the one in the second case, and we can be sure that the person driving it is the murderer of the Ghost King case, but... the car is completely sealed, we still have to look at it. Don’t you look like a driver?”
"That's right..." Zhang Ling said unfavorably, "I have sent people to count before. There are more than 20,000 tricycles of the same type on the market in Quan'an City. Because it is rainy here, people who buy tricycles , all like to buy this kind of fully enclosed one!”
"No way?" Zhao Yu pouted, "So many? In other words, this tricycle was not modified by the murderer?"
"Yes!" Zhang Ling said regretfully, "It's been like this since it left the factory. I guess... the murderer must have expected that he would not be able to completely escape the camera surveillance, so he chose the most difficult means of transportation to find, right?"
"Master..." Cui Lizhu sighed, "What a master! He actually thought of everything!"
"Whether you want it or not... the investigation must continue! So, Brother Tao, continue to follow up!" Zhao Yu ordered to Ran Tao, "After all, this is a very important clue. If part of the trajectory can be restored, it is possible. Help solve the case!
"And... if we can find a clearer image, we might be able to find some features on the car and narrow the scope of the investigation!"
"Okay," Ran Tao readily agreed, "I'll continue to check!"
After Ran Tao left, Zhao Yu could not help but feel uneasy. He was worried that he would not be able to stop the murderer before the next ghost king case occurred.
So, he reached out and picked up the photocopied version of "The Record of the Ghost King" from the table, and then turned to the next article about Dou's daughter...
