At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yu was talking on the phone with Cui Lizhu in the office of the special investigation team.
"Yes, we found where Zoya lives," Cui Lizhu said. "She lives in a hotel next to the Victory Hotel. However, a month ago, she checked out the room and left!
"The people at the hotel said that Zoya left with her luggage. From the looks of it, she must have wanted to leave Manzhou!
"Also...she usually lives alone, but she rarely comes back at night," Cui Lizhu said. "So, the people at the hotel suspected that she was in that kind of profession!"
"Have you shown them the photos of the other victims?" Zhao Yu asked hurriedly.
"They have seen it," Cui Lizhu said. "They have not seen the other victims. They said that Zoya is usually alone and has few friends. Her Chinese is not very good, so she basically hasn't said anything!"
"Is anyone living in that house now?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"Yes," Cui Lizhu said, "I just took a look and found that the house has been cleaned many times. I'm afraid there is no point in collecting evidence..."
"Then... what about the Victory Hotel?" Zhao Yu asked again, "Is the 19-year-old waiter Elisa related to Zoya?"
"Someone did see Zoya at the Victory Hotel. She went upstairs late at night and left early in the morning..." Cui Lizhu said, "So, it can be basically confirmed that Zoya is in that kind of industry and she didn't run away!
"But after asking many people, no one has seen Zoya and Eliza together."
"Okay, then go check the surveillance," Zhao Yu said, "see if you can find anything else?"
"I have sent people to investigate," Cui Lizhu said, "Boss, following this idea, I inquired about Elisa's situation in detail.
"Her colleagues and leaders all said that although Elisa is not particularly active and hard-working at work, she is quite popular. Also, she is not the kind of open-minded girl. On the contrary, she is a bit shy and has a slightly naughty attitude. Even the smallest joke will make you blush!"
"Don't you mean..." Zhao Yu asked, "Does she have a boyfriend?"
"Oh..." Cui Lizhu said hurriedly, "I have confirmed that she has a boyfriend who is a truck driver! However, it is not like what was said before that they have reached the point of discussing marriage.
"In fact, they have been fighting a cold war for a long time.
"The reason is that the man concealed his true situation before. He told Eliza that the logistics company was run by his family, but in fact, he was just a working driver!
"This boyfriend is now going to Chagan Lake to purchase goods. I am trying to contact him..."
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked, "Does Elisa have no other family members?"
"Yes, she came to Manchuria alone," Cui Lizhu replied. "She lives in the staff dormitory. Because her Chinese is not very good, she doesn't go out much.
“After her accident, the police tried to contact her family in Kuyask, but they never got in touch!
"In the end, the police had to entrust the embassy, but there is still no news, so the funeral has not been carried out..."
"Oh... tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips and said, "It seems that we still have a lot of things that we need to get to the bottom of!
"Xiao Cui, continue your investigation! Don't stay up late today and make sure you get some rest, otherwise your face will look ugly tomorrow!"
"I know," Cui Lizhu said, "We have different backgrounds, and this is not the first time we have been slapped in the face. I know how to deal with it... I'm dead!"
After hanging up the phone, before Zhao Yu had time to sort out his thoughts, Simona next to him spoke first: "Could it be that... these four women are not what we thought before?"
Zhao Yu ignored it, walked straight to the whiteboard, and began to think seriously.
"I just took the time to take a look," Simona said, "Zhang Mei of the dance troupe, that is, Yelena, is completely different from the other three!
"Zhang Mei is a top student who graduated from the Moscow Professional Dance Academy. She is not only the lead dancer of the Red Star Song and Dance Troupe, but also one of the partners!" Simona said, "Also, her identity is the clearest. She has relatives and friends in Manchuria. The police also contacted her family in Kuyask!
"These are all different from other victims..."
"However, she is not a kind person," Zhao Yu continued. "She originally had a great future in Moscow, but she was defrauded of all her savings and her reputation was ruined by a scumbag, so she had to come to Manzhou and form a song and dance troupe to make a living. …”
"Wow!" Simona said with admiration, "You have memorized them all, and your memory is still so good..."
"Memories are not good for food," Zhao Yu picked up a pen and wrote an analysis of the case on the whiteboard, and said at the same time, "It is precisely because of the different situations of the victims that makes this case even more strange!
"Could it be that... the murderers are just randomly selected? As long as it is a Russian woman from Kuyask, he will kill her?"
"You mean..." Simona asked, "The murderer is a pervert? Wow, this case is probably going to catch up with the corpse of the woman on the Suspension Bridge in Bucharest, right?"
"Team Leader Zhao," at this time, a police officer in a white coat came through the door. He came straight to Zhao Yu with a report and said, "This is the autopsy report that Forensic Doctor Guo asked me to give you! It’s about the first victim of the female corpse under the bridge case.”
"oh… "
Zhao Yu knew that the body of the first victim, Elena, had been in the police morgue. Although an autopsy had been done, because the inspection level in Manchuria was limited, he hoped that Guo Fengzhan would do it again.
"By the way," the police officer said emphatically, "Forensic Doctor Guo is worried that you don't have time to take a closer look, so let me briefly report to you verbally that Irina's body is basically consistent with the results of the first examination!
"The only difference is that forensic doctor Guo found that Irina had three miscarriages..."
"Oh my God!" Simona couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing the news.
"The earliest one can even be traced back to the age of 16..." the police officer reminded and said, "There is nothing else!
"Well... any differences from the first inspection are marked with red pen on the report. Please take a look again!"
After saying that, the police officer saluted, turned and left the office.
"She is only 19 years old this year!" Simona was surprised, "This is really a crime!"
"19 years old..." Zhao Yu closed her eyes and thought, "she left her hometown alone and came to distant Manchuria to work as a waiter with a low salary. After her death, she could not contact her family. So, you... What would you have thought of?"
"Escape!!!" Simona said with wide eyes, "Did this 19-year-old girl escape? She encountered something unfortunate in Kuyask and wanted to escape from the clutches of the devil!
"Unexpectedly, the devil still chased her here and killed her!!?"
