At 8 o'clock in the evening, Ran Tao, who had been busy for two days, was making a report in front of the big screen in the office.
"This video is the last video Qiu Jinna appeared in," he pointed to the video on the big screen and introduced, "On January 29, that is, at 1:30 noon seven days ago, she came out of the store on the commercial street. Walked all the way north and walked out of the commercial street!
"Qiu Jinna does not have a driver's license, so she has never bought a car. She usually takes a taxi when she goes out...
“However, we checked various surveillance cameras at the intersection, but no trace of her was found!
“Let’s take a look,” he switched to the big screen, and a clear satellite map appeared on it, “Coming out of Commercial Street North Street, there is only such a small surveillance blind spot!
"However, Qiu Jinna happened to disappear from this small blind spot," he pointed to a certain place on the map and said, "The commercial street extends in all directions, with many corners and nooks and crannies, and there are no walls on both sides. If after disappearing from the blind spot, the murderer would have There are several ways to avoid the cameras and leave the shopping street!
"We registered and checked all the vehicles passing by at that time. However, on the south side of the commercial street is a large new building complex. There are unfinished buildings there. If Qiujinna was taken away from there, , I’m afraid it will be difficult to track!”
"That is to say..." Zhao Yu said, "The murderer is very familiar with the situation near the commercial street!"
"Maybe it's because of familiarity, maybe because of in-depth research!" Ran Tao said seriously, "But I feel that I am more inclined to the latter, because the murderer not only knows the commercial street well, but also the people near the crime scene During the investigation, a similar situation also emerged!”
With that said, Ran Tao opened a new map again.
"This is a map of Meihexing Town. This is the place where Qiu Jinna was killed," Ran Tao gestured, "This is a full 17 kilometers away from Qiu Jinna's home in the commercial street.
"I have to say that the murderer was extremely careful. We tracked down all the suspicious vehicles, but all were ruled out as suspects. In other words, the murderer actually avoided all the surveillance cameras in the area. It is really incredible!
“In addition,” Ran Tao added, “we have increased our police force and visited almost all the villages near Meihexing Town, and no one claimed to have found any suspects.
"We also asked the children playing on the river, and they also said that they had never seen anyone pulling a sledge passing by the river...
"Also," Ran Tao added, "we even explored the rivers on both sides several times. Under the small bridge in Meihexing Town is a tributary of the Shulacis River. Less than one kilometer east from there, there are A small waterfall.
“So we judge that the murderer probably did not come from the east.
"The road to the west is smooth, and you can reach the main channel of the Shulachis River. During this period, you passed a total of 4 villages, but there are no cameras in these 4 villages...
"Also, we brought with us several veteran police officers in the field of snow trace science. They carefully inspected the traces on the ice of the river." Ran Tao switched to the big screen and continued to introduce, "Indeed, from the west side of Meihe Xing Bridge, Found a relatively fresh sledge mark...
"However, when we passed the first village, it was difficult to continue tracking because there were too many traces on the river."
"I remember," Miao Ying expressed her opinion after Ran Tao finished his report, "We discussed before that the murderer should not just pull the sledge and transport the victim under the bridge!
“He must have a car, and the car cannot be too small and can fit the sledge!
"So," Miao Ying pointed to the map and said, "have you seen places on both sides of the river that are accessible to cars and convenient for parking?"
"There are too many," Ran Tao said helplessly, "Go west along the river. Although there is no asphalt road along the river, everything can be driven by car!
“Originally, we wanted to use the snow to see if there were any traces of cars driving by, but unfortunately, it took too long!
"Due to the heavy snowfall, it is no longer possible to find it..."
"Okay, Brother Tao, you've worked hard!" Zhao Yu said, "Have a good rest today and continue tomorrow!"
“We are currently investigating the scenes of several other cases,” Ran Tao said. “Thankfully, we have added so many police forces, otherwise we would not be able to finish the work even if we are exhausted!
"Boss," Ran Tao said bluntly, "This murderer is definitely not an ordinary person. He is familiar with the geographical environment and knows how to counter reconnaissance and tracking. It's not that I am as ambitious as others, but I always feel that it is unlikely to find clues from the scene!
"In my opinion, the most direct and effective way is to start with the relationship between the victim!"
"You put it lightly," Cui Lizhu rolled her eyes, "Don't think that you are the only one working in the world, okay
"My face was swollen because I was trying to investigate the case!" Cui Lizhu said, "Except for the dancer, the other three foreign women who were killed seemed to be deliberately concealing their identities!
"I can't find any direct connection between them from the address book or online account..."
"This case..." Ran Tao scratched his head and said, "It's really strange!"
"Okay, you guys take a break first, Sister Wu..." Zhao Yu said to Wu Xiumin, "How's your investigation going?"
Wu Xiumin has been investigating the case at the No. 3 Oil Production Plant. Now, through conclusive evidence and the decision of Zhao Yu and others, this case has been excluded from the case of the female corpse under the bridge.
"Shoe prints were found at the scene, but there were no fingerprints, and no obvious non-victim identity information was found." Wu Xiumin gestured to Zeng Ke, who immediately called up a map near the No. 3 Oil Production Plant, "I went to the victim's house today. Chi Meixin’s dormitory, everything was normal there, no signs of struggle were seen...
"Moreover, the workers often work shifts, and the dormitory is occupied 24 hours a day. I think the murderer should not dare to attack Chi Meixin from the dormitory!
"I checked," Wu Xiumin said regretfully, "They don't have a single camera in the entire Hongqi Town dormitory, which brought some inconvenience to our investigation!
"I asked the female workers in the dormitory, and they all said that the last time they saw Chi Meixin was after get off work at 6 p.m.!
"At that time, Chi Meixin had dinner with the workers who got off work at the same time, and then walked across the ice lake and returned to the dormitory building in Hongqi Town.
"At that time, there were six people with them, but none of them lived in the same dormitory as Chi Meixin, so no one knew what happened after Chi Meixin returned to the dormitory!
“I investigated Chi Meixin’s call records,” Wu Xiumin said. “During that time period, she didn’t make any calls!
“I also logged in to WeChat and checked, but I still haven’t communicated with anyone.
“However, I checked her previous records and found that except for working the night shift, she had video calls with her children almost every night,” Wu Xiumin said. “But on the day of the accident, she did nothing!
"I looked at her bedding and it was basically untouched.
"So, I suspect," Wu Xiumin said, "Chi Meixin was captured by the murderer not long after she returned to the dormitory!"
"That's strange," Cui Lizhu said curiously, "Since it didn't happen in the dormitory, then it happened outside the dormitory? Could it be that Chi Meixin walked out of the dormitory building by herself? Is it really a ghost?"
