"Yes, yes," Zhao Yu said to Miao Ying on the phone in the police car speeding through the snow, "report to the Criminal Department immediately and ask them to send people to support! The latest case has appeared, and there are definitely not enough manpower...
"Also, you and the city leaders should consider the matter of martial law. I think that for the time being, we should focus on strengthening protection. If martial law is imposed rashly, it may cause panic!
"Hmm... um... I can rest assured that you can handle the matter. You can take care of it. I'll go to the scene now..." Zhao Yu said, "Yes, there are too few forensic doctors. If not, let's get some from Xinbin!"
"Oh! I'm really afraid of what's going to happen. What I was most worried about has happened!
"Hmm... um... I understand, I understand..." Zhao Yu said, "I know, I haven't seen any big winds and waves, so I won't mess up my position!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yu breathed out heavily.
"On the same day, two female corpses appeared under the bridge. This... how can this be done!" The car was turning on the warm air at the maximum setting, but Captain Qiu still said as if he was shivering, "Forget it. Yesterday's... three cases, how could they be so close together
"It's like mushrooms. They haven't been picked here yet, but they've popped up over there! Is this mushroom mushrooming after a rain?"
"Don't panic!" Zhao Yu consoled him, "The body may have been hanging there a long time ago, but it was just discovered relatively late.
"Let's talk about it first, where is the latest case?"
"Halihali Village," Captain Qiu said nervously, "This village is made up of ethnic minorities and is located to the west of the city!
"Just now, the village committee conducted a special inspection after receiving the notice, and then discovered it from under a small bridge to the east of the village..."
"What? West?" After Zhao Yu heard this, he immediately thought of something and quickly opened the map on his mobile phone and checked it carefully.
Curious, Simona turned her head and saw that Zhao Yu had already marked the locations of the previous cases on the map.
"I strangled a grandma bear!" Zhao Yu swallowed, pointed at the map and said, "Look, the first case was in Dongli Tiao Village, which is due east of the city!
“The second incident was in Baiqi Town, due south of Manchuria!
“The third incident, Meihexing Town, is just north of the city!
"Now, here comes another one... What is it, due west, due west!" Zhao Yu suddenly widened his eyes, "The southeast, northwest, and northwest are all covered. From the map, it is exactly a square! So righteous!”
"No... no no no..." Captain Qiu grabbed his hair and said, "You... you told me that I was confused! Wasn't the incident at the No. 3 Oil Production Plant just now also in the south? Are there two incidents in the south?"
"No," Simona said, "Our team leader suspects that this case in the No. 3 Oil Production Plant may have been imitated by someone!"
"Ah?" Captain Qiu was even more frightened and went crazy, "Imitate... Is it so evil to commit crimes by imitation? The key... the key is, how long has it been since this case was committed
"Only our police know the specific circumstances of the crime scene. Who...who would imitate it?"
"Our team leader suspected," Simona told the truth, "that when the case occurred in Baiqi Town, someone was watching at the scene, saw the scene, and then imitated it!
"Moreover, this person is probably from the factory, a colleague of Chi Meixin..."
"Oh... oh..." Captain Qiu suddenly realized, "No wonder you just asked me for the video of the scene!
"Fortunately, we recorded it at that time, but... but..." He said worriedly, "The criminal investigation here is not very professional. I don't know how Xiao Liu recorded it!
"If we just record the scene without recording the onlookers, it will be over..."
"Don't talk so much yet," Zhao Yu asked, "What is the condition of the body just found?"
"It's not close there. I've sent the nearest people there. It's hard enough to get there now!" Captain Qiu said. "According to the villagers who found the body, the body was also that of a woman. However, because it was too frozen, it was temporarily I can’t tell whether it’s domestic or foreign!
"I told them to protect the scene and wait for our people to pass!" Captain Qiu said, "Halihali Village is a well-known well-off village. The villagers are well-educated and will definitely protect the scene! "
Yeah
Zhao Yu frowned, thinking of something in his mind.
"Zhao... Well, Team Leader Zhao," Simona couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else you can say about the positive direction you just mentioned? Could this be some kind of religious ceremony?"
"This is what worries me most after coming to Manzhou," Zhao Yu said. "I always feel that the murderer's purpose is not just to complete the murder, but may have other purposes!"
"Yes," Simona also frowned and said, "There are so many bridges. If it is just for killing people, which one can't be chosen? Do you have to choose one from the southeast and northwest?"
"Tsk, tsk..." Zhao Yu looked at the map and fell into new thinking. Now that everything in the southeast, northwest, and northwest is in order, will the murderer take action again next
Has he completed his mission, or... will he choose a new place
…
Running from the south of the city to the west, they happened to pass by a highway leading to Mengxiang. Taking advantage of this highway, Zhao Yu and others arrived at Harihali Village in just over 30 minutes.
When they arrived, the police officers who were the first to pass had also arrived at the scene and were setting up a cordon.
Several local villagers dressed in herdsman clothing were reporting something to the police.
"If we hadn't come out to patrol, no one would have walked on this bridge until the snow melted!" said a herdsman with a gray beard. "To tell you the truth, even if you really cross the bridge, it will be difficult to see under it. situation!
"Look..." He walked to both sides of the ditch. "There are no river edges on either side. When we pass here, we go straight from the bridge. Who would lower their head to look under the bridge?"
Zhao Yu came to Xiaoqiao, and unexpectedly, he heard the sound of running water.
"Why!?"
He quickly ran to the river and looked down. Only then did he see that the river was not completely frozen. The ice surface to the right was actually cracked, and there was water flowing through there...
"This..." Captain Qiu was also surprised and hurriedly asked the herdsman, "Why is there still water here?"
"Oh... there is an underground spring over there at ALS, and the spring water is warm," the old man said, pointing to the water. "However, after it flows here, it is all cold. After it flows over from Yake Banner, it is completely cold." It was frozen, and only some flowed under the ice... "
While the old man was talking, Zhao Yu had already seen that although there was still water flowing on the ice, it was not fast and did not affect most of the ice.
So he quickly put on his glove and went down to the bridge.
This small bridge is the shortest one. There are piers under the bridge, so it looks extremely narrow and dark. Moreover, there is a lot of plastic garbage accumulated under the bridge, as well as stinky mud that melts in the warm water and gives off a stinky smell!
The frozen corpse was hanging in the center of the bridge. Due to the light problem, it was really difficult to see it outside.
Just by looking at the scene, Zhao Yu was able to confirm that the case in front of him was definitely the same murderer as the previous murder case under the bridge!
Whether it is the expansion pipe, the collar or the knot, they are all done neatly, and there are no traces left on the ground. At first glance, they are obviously different from the case in the No. 3 Oil Production Plant.
It's just...
When Zhao Yu came to the corpse, he smelled the smell of rotten corpse...
