In the evening of that day, the temporary office of the special task force of the Manzhou Police Station.
Although Manzhou is a port city, it is only a county-level city. Since it is stable and peaceful all year round, its police facilities and systems are relatively backward.
The simple office reminded Zhao Yu of the Golden City back then.
However, for this cold and freezing place, it doesn't matter whether there are facilities or not. What matters is warmth.
The heating in the police station was very hot, and Zhao Yu had already taken off his sweater and put on a shirt.
"This place is really unique," said Cui Lizhu, who had just arrived at the office. "There are actually several foreigners in uniform in the police station!"
"Those are the local ethnic minorities, okay..." Ran Tao explained, "There are also many mixed-race people!"
"As long as you understand, as long as you understand... Sigh..." Cui Lizhu opened her backpack and poured a large bag of coffee candies and coconut cakes on the table. "You can't blame me for being stingy. I just arrived at Hailan and haven't started yet. I was on vacation, so I was called to the Northeast!
"I just checked on the navigation map. It's 4,800 kilometers, my grandma Xiong..." Cui Lizhu complained, "I'm going from south to north, across the entire country!"
"Okay, it's not bad to be able to eat the candies brought from Hailan!" Ran Tao quickly grabbed a handful and put it in his pocket.
"Originally," Cui Lizhu said while arranging her down jacket, "I also brought a few coconuts for everyone, but they needed to be checked in, and I was really too late!
"If I miss the flight, I'm afraid I'll have to... um..."
Cui Lizhu saw Simona at first sight and was suddenly shocked.
"This... this..." Cui Lizhu looked at the tall Simona and asked, "Is this the local criminal police captain? Why does he look like a Barbie doll, with nine heads and a golden ratio? Is this... also... also a mixed race? ?”
"This is the private female secretary assigned to me by the superiors," Zhao Yu gently pressed Simona's shoulder and said, "Just call her Nana!"
"Wow... It's reversed, it's reversed..." Cui Lizhu's eyes almost fell to the ground, she quickly turned around and took Miao Ying's arm, then pointed at Zhao Yu and said, "Sister Miao, Sister Miao, can you bear this? Still. Instead of beating him up, beat up this scumbag who has changed his mind?"
"Haha..." Miao Ying smiled slightly and explained, "Don't listen to Zhao Yu's nonsense, this is a new colleague sent as a trainee from above!"
"Oh... that's too intimate, boss! My sister Miao is still here!" Cui Lizhu stepped in for Miao Ying, "Don't be too shameless!"
"This is Cui Lizhu with big eyes, nicknamed Xiaozhuzhu..." Zhao Yu pointed at Cui Lizhu and introduced her to Simona.
Simona extended her hand in a friendly manner. Cui Lizhu was embarrassed and shook her hand.
However, during the handshake, Simona noticed that Cui Lizhu had no little finger on her hand, and there was something strange in her eyes.
Cui Lizhu quickly withdrew her hand and asked, "My name is Nana, what's your last name?"
"Well..." Simona hesitated.
"My last name is Na, Nana..." Zhao Yu reacted very quickly and blurted out the lie.
"Then...is your surname that? Are you really a minority?" Cui Lizhu raised her eyebrows, expressing doubt, "Why was she hesitant just now? Doesn't she know her name?"
"Where did you come from with all this nonsense!" Zhao Yu frowned, "Just remember that this is your new colleague!"
"Yes, yes!" Miao Ying hurried over to smooth things over, "Nana is here for an internship. She is just studying with us. You don't need to pay attention to her!"
"Really...are you really not a mixed race?" Cui Lizhu still looked at Simone with good eyes, "Isn't this too beautiful? Sister Miao, you really need to be more careful. I know the boss best. Her determination My strength is not as good as you think..."
"Okay, okay," Miao Ying took Cui Lizhu aside and said, "You have come all the way here. You are tired. You should take a rest first!"
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired," Cui Lizhu said, "I've been sleeping on the plane all day, and I've been curious about what kind of case this is. Since the boss can take action, it must not be a small case, right
"Hurry up and tell me the case!"
"We are discussing!" Zhao Yu pointed at the big screen, "Just listen!"
"Oh... okay..." Cui Lizhu quickly picked up a chair and sat down, and took out her notebook, getting ready to record it carefully.
"We... where were we talking about just now?" Zhao Yu asked Simona.
"We are talking about the case of the female corpse on the Bucharest Suspension Bridge 80 years ago," Simona said. "I feel that you, oh... this case we are encountering should have nothing to do with that unsolved case in the world!
"Look," Simona pointed to the big screen, which contained information about the case of the woman's corpse on the suspension bridge. "Due to special historical reasons, almost all of the Dembvica River is covered by suspension bridges!
"When a large ship passes by, the suspension bridge can be hoisted by steel cables to facilitate the passage of the ship. Therefore, there are a lot of steel structures under the bridge deck!
“The murderer used the passage under the bridge to transport the victim, and then hung him from the steel frame!
"The bridge deck is more than 20 meters away from the water...
"Moreover," Simone added, "the female victims back then were all wearing clothes, and religious symbols were painted on the bodies, and there were no signs of violation...
"So, I don't think this case has anything to do with the case of the dead woman on the Suspension Bridge in Bucharest!"
"80 years ago... God..." Cui Lizhu took a breath and asked Miao Ying anxiously, "Sister Miao, what on earth did we encounter?"
"Yes, I think so too," Zhao Yu said, "These are just the works of netizens, who connected the case in Manchuria with the corpse of the woman on the suspension bridge.
"So, we can ignore this statement for the time being, and let's use traditional methods to detect it!"
"Team Leader Zhao," Miao Ying said at this time, "since the three victims are all young Russian women, it is obvious that the murderer had a certain purpose and selectivity in killing!
"We have to find out the relationship between the three victims as soon as possible, as well as their respective interpersonal relationships. This is definitely the most critical point in solving the case!"
"Of course..." Zhao Yu said, "Although the identity of the third victim has not yet been revealed, Captain Qiu has already investigated the situation of the first two victims in detail!
"Eliza and Zhang Mei are both from Kuyask, a city in the Far East of Russia. Judging from the Russian population ratio in Manzhou City, Kuyask accounts for about one-fifth, which is not particularly large.
"According to Captain Qiu's investigation, apart from coming from the same city, there is currently no obvious connection between the two of them.
"The ages and occupations are different, and there is no contact between their phone numbers and friends. We can only wait for Zeng Ke to come and then conduct a more detailed investigation on them..."
Tuk-tuk-tuk…
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and immediately after, Captain Qiu ran in from the outside and said to Zhao Yu and others:
"Dear investigators, we have found out the identity of the third victim..."
