"Young man, why are you sad and why are you lowering your head
"Who made you so sad? The person who asked him was the person in the car..."
In the Chinese restaurant at noon, the famous Russian song "Troika" was played.
The lyrics are melancholy and the melody is resentful, somewhat echoing Zhao Yu's mood.
While tasting the delicious pickled fish stew, Zhao Yu fell into new thoughts.
Long-term front-line work experience has taught Zhao Yu that the more critical the moment, the more important it is for him to maintain absolute calm.
Therefore, he can no longer work so hard without food and sleep. He must replenish enough energy so that he has the ability and energy to cope with everything.
There are so many traces in the snow, can this case still stump you
What Ding Lan had said to him before appeared in Zhao Yu's mind again at this moment.
yes…
It's a world of ice and snow, and it's impossible for the murderer not to leave traces behind, but... why has nothing been found so far
The victim’s background and relationship, the crime scene, and the victim’s trajectory when he disappeared. It stands to reason that if we have so much information, the suspect should have surfaced, right
But why did the investigation not meet his expectations
Is the murderer too clever, or has he overlooked something important
Or... the murderer had no other reason for killing
“My father especially likes to listen to this song, but he only listens to the original version in Russian. In my memory, I even went to the Bolshoi Theater to hear it live!
"It seems that there is also this three sets of cars..." Simona took a bite of vermicelli and said to Zhao Yu, "Zhao Yu, you didn't sleep much last night, why not take a nap later!
"Let me, as your assistant, keep an eye on it for you..."
"Humph," Zhao Yu squinted at Simona, "You really treat yourself like a dishonor, don't you? If I go to bed, what can you do for me?"
"Don't you have that girlfriend of yours? She is so capable, why are you worried?" Simona put the vermicelli into her mouth and said seriously, "Zhao Yu, sometimes, I see what you look like now , it’s really hard to imagine that you and Zhao Yu from Miracle Island are the same person!”
"Okay, eldest sister! Just eat your food honestly!" Zhao Yu said, "I don't have time to listen to your nostalgia. When the case is over, we'd better go our separate ways!"
"You... have no sense of humor!" Simona complained and said resentfully, "Zhao Yu, although many people died in this case, it shouldn't be difficult to solve, right
"Isn't this... our second day in Manzhou?"
Zhao Yu ignored her and took a big bite of fish by himself. This was the famous local fat-headed fish, which was freshly caught from the glacial lake and tasted very delicious.
“Well,” Simone said, “if I can help you solve this case, can you consider letting me be your assistant
"I have nothing now and am homeless. If you have any love, you have to give me this chance, right?"
"You..." Zhao Yu put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay, your big talk is quite like my style back then! Then tell me, how can you help me break it?"
"Look..." Simona said, "Isn't the most obvious point right in front of you? No matter what the murderer's reason was for killing those four women, at least he had to make some preparations, right?"
Simona's words aroused Zhao Yu's interest. Zhao Yu held his chin and pretended to be listening.
"Although they are all women, they are all women of a fighting nation!" Simona's eyes flashed, "It would not be easy for the murderer to kidnap them quietly!
"The first victim was a hotel attendant, the second was a dancer, and the fourth lived in a commercial street. These women were surrounded by surveillance cameras.
“If the murderer wants to avoid the cameras and catch them, he must conduct a follow-up investigation to find the opportunity.
"So, let's take a closer look at the past surveillance and see if anyone is following them. Can we make some discoveries?"
"You think I'm a world-famous detective, but I don't even understand this?" Zhao Yu said, "I sent Ran Tao to do this job on the first day!
"The murderer is really careful," Zhao Yu said, shaking his head. "Either he avoided the camera, or he disguised himself. So far, no suspicious person has been found!"
"What about... foreigners?" Simona reminded, "Didn't I say that the murderer might be a foreigner? Maybe he's also from Kuyask? Have you checked?"
"I asked Captain Qiu to collect all the adult men from Kuyashsk in the past five years. Guess what?" Zhao Yu asked and answered, "Only 5 of them met the conditions!
"Then, guess what?" Zhao Yu gave the answer himself, "After secretly investigating the movements of these five people, they have all been eliminated!"
"No way?" Simona pouted, "Looking at it this way, maybe the murderer didn't come from the port? He entered the country from somewhere else
"Or maybe he's not from Kuyask?"
"Or..." Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Not a foreigner! Not an earthling, but an alien?"
Beep beep... beep beep...
Just as he said this, Zhao Yu's cell phone rang, and Zeng Ke sent him a message.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Simona asked excitedly, "Is there any new news?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Zeng Ke has found the identity of the third victim. Eat something quickly, we are going back!"
"Then..." Simona pointed to a table of dishes and said, "You go back first and I'll pack the food. Your girlfriends haven't eaten yet!"
"Your Mandarin still needs to be improved," Zhao Yu picked up his clothes, "You speak as if I have many girlfriends..."
…
A few minutes later, Zhao Yu returned to the office.
As soon as he entered the door, Zeng Ke hurried forward to report:
"Her name is Zoya. She is indeed from Kuyask. She entered the country in July last year..." Zeng Ke said with the information. "The customs found her entry information, and the security personnel checked the cobra around her neck. deep impression."
Zhao Yu opened the information, and there was a photo of Zoya on it. Zoya was very beautiful, but there was an innate coldness in her eyes.
"This person is 28 years old and unemployed," Zeng Ke said. "Currently, no domestic phone number or online account registered with her information has been found.
"However, Captain Qiu's people have found out that Zoya often frequents the Victory Hotel!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was stunned, "The Victory Hotel? Isn't the first victim Elisa the waiter of the Victory Hotel?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke said, "Captain Qiu's people are still investigating in depth. I told Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui said she would also go to the hotel in the afternoon to check..."
"Again..." Zhao Yuchong said to Zeng Ke, "then check Elisa's address book and her network information to see if we can find any information about Zoya!
"And... there is the second deceased, the one from the dance troupe!
"Why do I feel that these four women are so close?"
"Yes..." Zeng Ke quickly went to check.
Zhao Yu quickly came to the whiteboard and wrote the word Zoya on the name of the third victim.
Victory Hotel…
Zoya, the woman with the cobra tattoo, Qiukina, the bold divorcee, Eliza, the 19-year-old waitress, and Yelena from the dance troupe, what on earth do these four women from Kuyashsk do!
