At 1 o'clock in the morning, in the office of the special task force.
The nightly news is playing on the TV:
“… With the occurrence of two new cases, Manzhou City has entered a state of emergency…
“… This case has attracted the attention of the provincial department and even the whole country. At this moment, a large number of professional criminal investigators are rushing to Manzhou to assist the Criminal Department’s task force in the investigation…
"...According to experts' estimates, there are more than 3,000 bridges of various sizes in Manzhou City. From this morning to now, every police station, every village, and every community has sent search teams to conduct carpet searches on all bridges in Manzhou City. Search...
“… So far, no new cases have been discovered. However, due to heavy snow and road closures, there are still some remote bridges that have not been searched. For this reason, our city has set up a search team to expand the search tomorrow. scope…
"... In addition, according to other media reports, not only Manzhou City, but also several cities and towns near Manzhou have spontaneously organized search teams and started searching every bridge...
“…The police remind the general public, especially young foreign women, to reduce outdoor activities in the near future and pay attention to their own safety. If you have difficulties, you can seek help from the nearest police station or community…
"In addition, the police also appeal to the general public. If anyone has any information, please provide clues to the police. We will be grateful..."
"Hey..." Zhao Yu turned her face to the other side of the TV screen and said from a slightly dark corner to the mobile phone, "Sister Lan, do your brother-in-law a favor!
"This case is really urgent. We have not found any obvious connection between the deceased in Manchuria, but..." Zhao Yu said extremely seriously, "They are all from Kuyashk, Russia. Perhaps, they are... in their hometown." have connection!
"If this connection can be found, it will be of great help in solving the case... "
"Brother-in-law, I have already said it," Ding Lan said with a yawn, "You also know my level. If you are in a certain city in the country, of course I can help!
"But, when I go abroad, my authority cannot be reached? I don't understand, why don't you ask your godfather for help? You can ask him to handle this matter in just one sentence, right?"
"Who says it's not the case!" Zhao Yu said helplessly, "But that old guy refuses to answer the phone! I don't know where he went off to live happily. How about you help me contact him?"
"The killer under the bridge is still active. God knows how many more people he wants to kill? I have to dig out his roots as soon as possible?"
"Brother-in-law, it's not that I won't help you," Ding Lan said helplessly, "If you can't even contact him, then it's even more impossible for me. I can only... give it a try...
"Brother-in-law..." Ding Lan asked curiously, "A case broke out in Manzhou, do you really want to go to the Russian Far East city to find the truth
"I heard that it snowed heavily there, and there will be traces of the snow. You have killed so many people, and you still can't catch them?"
"You know how capable your brother-in-law is," Zhao Yu said with a pout, "If the case was really so easy to solve, I would have held a celebration party by now!
"There are various signs that I have encountered a tough problem. This killer under the bridge is definitely not a simple one!"
"Really? Can you hide your traces in the snow?" Ding Lan smacked his lips and came up with an idea, "Brother-in-law, if you are really anxious, then... let me ask my godmother
"My godmother's connections are as good as my godfather's. Maybe I can use the resources in Kuyask. We are still dealing with the affairs of the Rich Mansion in Shanghai. I can see her early tomorrow morning!"
Well...
Zhao Yu originally didn't want to owe his mother-in-law any favors, but then he thought about it. He had made such great contributions in the magic city, so this request wasn't too much, right
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Ding Lan, without further ado, please call my mother-in-law now!"
"Now..." Ding Lan hesitated, "My godmother is not in good health and has been suffering from insomnia recently. Otherwise..."
"Okay, her phone number hasn't changed, right?" Zhao Yu said simply, "I'll call her myself!"
"No, forget it," Ding Lan said, "Okay, since you are in urgent need, leave it to me! I'll get in touch and will get back to you with a message..."
"Great, then I won't say thank you," Zhao Yu said happily, "When the case is over, I will take you shopping!"
"Okay," Ding Lan happily agreed, "I just happened to have my eye on some clothes..."
"I'll take you shopping, you pay for it yourself... Hehehehe..." Zhao Yu laughed three times and hung up the phone before her sister-in-law could act coquettishly.
Imagining Ding Lan's cute angry appearance in his mind, Zhao Yu raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile.
However, the smile only lasted for two seconds before he put away his smile and came to the whiteboard of the case.
Due to the large number of dead people, the white boards have been added to five sides. As before, Zhao Yu placed the five white boards in a circle and stood in the center of the circle.
At this moment, Zeng Ke had cracked and logged into the WeChat account of the fourth victim, Qiu Jinna.
However, no information about other victims was found from Qiu Jinna’s WeChat friends and circle of friends.
Most of Qiu Jinna's circle of friends are business partners or customers, and most of the information she posts is related to goods, with very little information about her personal life.
From this point of view, Qiu Jinna only uses WeChat as a marketing tool for her.
Therefore, Zhao Yu and others turned back and began to investigate Qiu Jinna's mobile phone call records and bank transfer records, trying to find clues.
However, there are more than 400 phone numbers in Qiu Jinna's address book, and most of these people are also customers, so it will take a lot of time to investigate them all.
Next, Zeng Ke began to log in to other victims' online accounts and entered into the busy investigation work.
So far, they have not found any connection between the four victims. The only thing they know now is that the third victim may be Qiujinna's cousin.
Also, these four people are all from Kuyashk in the Russian Far East.
Originally, Zhao Yu tried to contact Qiu Jinna's relatives in Kuyashk and ask them about the situation, but to his surprise, the police searched and found not even a single relative.
Therefore, Zhao Yu had no choice but to call Ding Lan for help.
He believed that since the four victims were from the same city, the reason why they were killed now might be related to their past.
"Me..." While Zhao Yu was concentrating on thinking, Simona appeared out of nowhere, holding a bag of milk in her mouth and frowning, "I always feel that these women have a past! "
"You..." Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes, "Didn't you go to bed?"
"I can't sleep!" Simona said seriously, "I don't want to be your assistant! Well..."
With that said, she handed Zhao Yu a bag of milk.
"We all have a past..." Zhao Yu took the milk and asked, "You mean, these deceased people all have stories?"
"Yes," Simone said, "What kind of woman would have a cobra tattoo on her body? Does she have a particularly outgoing personality, or... is she in a gang
"Zhao Yu, have you ever thought about it," Simona said, staring at the names of the victims, "You haven't been able to find the connection between them for a long time. Could it be that they wanted to hide it deliberately and didn't want to be exposed?"
"Don't want to... be exposed? You mean..." Zhao Yu had already guessed what Simona wanted to say.
"Have these four women committed anything?" Simona said, "Is this the person who was hurt by them, here to seek revenge!!?"
