In the middle of the night, Zhao Yu sat alone on the recliner in the office, looking up at the starry sky outside the window and thinking about his own affairs.
Originally, Simona didn't pester him, and he could have had a good sleep in the police station dormitory.
Unfortunately, Ran Tao, who shared the same room with Zhao Yu, snored so loudly that he could not sleep peacefully, so he had to go back to the office and continue to think about the case.
Although, he judged that the murderer might not have seen the real crime scene of the female corpse under the bridge, but only heard about it. However, it is obviously very difficult to find such a person.
After all, now that the media is so developed, the murderer who imitated the female corpse under the bridge case may not have learned about it through some channels.
Now it seems that we still have to start the investigation based on the clues left at the scene and the murderer's motive.
Judging from clues at the scene, the murderer left shoe prints. Judging from the shoe prints, he should be a man about 1.8 meters tall.
In addition, the police found fresh wheel marks on the ice on the east side of the Hongqi Bridge, and suspected that the murderer should have used a small tricycle to transport the body.
Through Wu Xiumin's efforts, the police have found a suspicious tricycle from Hongqi Town.
The tricycle belongs to a master of the boiler room. Because all the people living in Hongqi Town are factory workers, the master does not lock the car every day, but just throws it casually in the boiler room compound, so that anyone can use it.
Through investigation, the police have ruled out the possibility of the boiler master committing the crime because he just celebrated his 70th birthday this year and had suffered from hemiplegia and had difficulty moving.
Also, his height and weight did not match the footprints left at the scene.
Therefore, Wu Xiumin judged based on this that the murderer should be a person who was relatively familiar with Hongqi. The reason why he used three wheels to transport the body must have been premeditated!
The boiler master claimed that sometimes workers would borrow the tricycle from him because they were in a hurry to do something. Wu Xiumin was following the clues provided by the master to find relevant personnel.
Tsk tsk…
Zhao Yu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and began to reorganize the situation on the night Chi Meixin was murdered in his mind.
Chi Meixin had dinner in the factory cafeteria and returned to her dormitory in Hongqi Town across the frozen lake...
However, for some unknown reason or at what time, Chi Meixin left the dormitory and went elsewhere.
On the way, the murderer caught Chi Meixin and killed her.
Later, the murderer stole the boiler room uncle's tricycle under cover of night, transported the body to the river, first lifted the tricycle to the ice, and then put the body into the tricycle.
Then, the murderer rode a tricycle towards the Hongqi Bridge, but when he was almost under the bridge, there were large reeds on the ice, making it impossible for the tricycle to ride over.
So he could only carry the body on his shoulders and walk through the reeds to the foot of the bridge.
At that time, the murderer had already taken off Chi Meixin's clothes, causing many scratches on the deceased's body.
Then, the murderer started to punch holes lamely, making a mess, and finally managed to hang the body under the bridge, and then hurried away.
The murderer's methods were very unprofessional and it can be seen that he was very panicked when committing the crime.
However, apart from leaving footprints, the murderer left no other key clues. I don’t know if this is luck or if he was prepared in advance.
Moreover, the most important thing is that there is not a single surveillance probe in the entire Hongqi Town, and no one found anything suspicious that night. This undoubtedly allowed the murderer to take advantage of a big loophole.
Of course, Wu Xiumin also judged from this that the murderer must have a special understanding of Hongqi Town, so he committed such a murder.
So…
The strangest thing has happened. Until now, Zhao Yu still hasn't found the murderer's motive!
Through investigation, Wu Xiumin discovered that Chi Meixin had never had any enemies with anyone in her hometown. She lived a very simple life. Although her financial conditions were not very rich, she had never owed money...
Therefore, in Wu Xiumin's deduction, there is only one possibility left - the murderer killed the wrong person!
So…
Did he really kill the wrong person
If the wrong person was killed, then the person the murderer wanted to kill must be a woman who looked very similar to Chi Meixin
However, Wu Xiumin searched all the female workers in the same dormitory, but could not find any problem.
As a result, the murderer’s motive becomes even more bizarre!
Think about it, when the murderer heard that the case of a female corpse under a bridge occurred nearby, he rashly killed Chi Meixin without even looking at the real scene carefully. What does this mean
Explain... He is very urgent and anxious to kill Chi Meixin!
Also, Chi Meixin’s property has not been touched. Killing people should not be for the sake of wealth!
If the murderer caught Chi Meixin near Hongqi Town, then the murderer should have a lot of time to control Chi Meixin, but Chi Meixin was not violated.
In other words, the murderer was not motivated by sex
If you don't care about wealth or sex, then there will only be vendetta...
But... Chi Meixin is an honest person and has never made enemies with anyone...
Now it seems that there is only one explanation left, and that is love murder!
Chi Meixin may be in a relationship with a mysterious man, but this man has a family and is worried that Chi Meixin will expose her, so he kills her and silences her!
Chi Meixin quietly left the dormitory on the night of the murder, maybe on a date with this mysterious man...
However, Wu Xiumin had already conducted a thorough investigation. Whether it was call records, online chats, or the confessions of colleagues, she found no sign of Chi Meixin secretly dating...
I don’t know if this man is hiding too deeply, or if there is a deviation in his thinking...
Apart from this, Zhao Yu and Wu Xiumin seemed to be unable to think of any other possibility of killing!
However, Zhao Yu always felt that there seemed to be other reasons for the murderer's motive...
Could it be...
He glanced at the four big characters on the corner of the whiteboard - female ghost in red!
Could it be...
Zhao Yu showed a playful but extremely serious expression, wondering in her heart, could Chi Meixin's death really be related to the female ghost in red she had seen
Could it be that what I encountered was another case related to ghosts
But... people can't be killed by ghosts, right
The female ghost in red…
Tsk tsk…
Zhao Yu thought for a long time, feeling clueless, so he had to close his eyes and rest again.
Only then did he finally remember his system.
Due to the sudden end of the last "Kungen·Qian" hexagram, the hexagram opening area was frozen for 7 days. Now that 6 days have passed, he will soon be able to open the hexagram again.
However, apart from those attractive points and props, Zhao Yu is no longer as dependent on the system as before.
Take the case of the female corpse under the bridge as an example. Although the hexagram ended early, it did not affect his final solution of the case.
Therefore, for the case in front of him, he did not expect to open the hexagram.
Today, Zhao Yu is more confident in himself. He believes that with his own efforts, he will be able to bring the case of the female corpse under the bridge to a successful conclusion...
