Five days later, the performing arts center of Yuanfang Hotel in Manzhou City.
"...Katyusha stood on the steep bank, singing like bright spring..."
Accompanied by familiar songs and familiar melodies, the actors on the stage danced with passion, joy and beauty...
However, Zhao Yu and others sitting on the sofa in the front row were so tired that they could hardly open their eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Yu's posture could barely be called a sitting posture, and Miao Ying was leaning on his left shoulder, closing her eyes to rest.
Simona simply used Zhao Yu's right leg as a pillow and lay on the sofa, already having a deep sleep.
On the other side, Wu Xiumin and Cui Lizhu rely on each other, but Ran Tao and Zeng Ke are both classic Ge You lies...
The bones beside the glacial lake have been dug out. Due to the cold weather and the wrong location, the engineering team spent two days.
Now, through forensic examination, it has been confirmed that the identity of the skeleton is that of the salesman Guan Linlin who has been missing for 40 years! !
40 years!
Even Guan Linlin's family had given up hope, but unexpectedly, 40 years later, things would turn around. The police not only found Guan Linlin's body, but also caught the murderer!
Guan Linlin is from Tongjiang. Like the other three female salesmen, they are all temporary salesmen employed by a private pipe fittings manufacturing company in Tongjiang.
It is reported that the private company was not formal, its products were of average quality, and it went bankrupt not long after Guan Linlin disappeared.
Moreover, the female salesmen they hired had no professional training and were all unemployed young women from society.
Their purpose is to use these young and beautiful female salesmen to sell products and make every order count.
The factory has no base salary for travel expenses and room and board expenses, only commissions.
After these female salesmen went out, some of them were really selling products, and some of them changed careers halfway and went to other businesses and never came back.
Therefore, when Guan Linlin disappeared, the factory did not take it seriously.
In the end, it was Guan Linlin's family who reported the case after seeing no news from her for a long time.
According to the detectives who investigated the case back then, they did come to the No. 3 Oil Production Plant to investigate based on Guan Linlin's trajectory, and even interviewed Guan Li.
However, because Guan Linlin had already checked out of the guest house, the detectives did not have too much suspicion and only thought that something happened to Guan Linlin after she left Manzhou.
At the beginning, according to Guan Linlin and others' itinerary, their next stop was to go to Daqing. Therefore, the police at that time focused entirely on the investigation of Daqing.
In that era of underdeveloped technology, it was very difficult to thoroughly investigate a person's trajectory. The police investigated for many years and even published a missing person notice, but in the end they still did not get any clues...
Like the previous crimes, this case is also full of what-ifs.
If Guan Linlin had left the Third Oil Production Plant with her companions and not stayed alone...
If Guan Linlin hadn't opened her mouth as a lion and forced Li Guan...
If Li Guan had not had a relationship with Guan Linlin...
Then, everything that happened later would not happen again...
However, as Zhao Yu himself said, there are not so many ifs in the world, and many things seem to be destined.
In this case, the only thing that Zhao Yu couldn't understand was the matter of the woman in red!
After Li Guan confessed, Zhao Yu investigated the matter carefully, but according to Chi Meixin's colleagues, there was indeed no discrepancy with the previous investigation.
No one has seen the woman in red that Chi Meixin mentioned.
To this end, Zhao Yu also visited some factory employees and local residents, but found nothing...
Although the case has been closed, in the past few days, Zhao Yu and others have not been idle. Everyone is busy with the work of closing the case.
After all, this case of the female corpse under the bridge has a great impact, and the aftermath is more troublesome than other cases.
In the past few days, Zhao Yu had participated in more than ten important meetings in a row and was extremely busy.
The team members also traveled between Manzhou and Haila and had no time to take a good rest.
Today, everyone finally completed the work at hand, and Zhao Yu followed the usual practice and set up a celebration banquet at the Yuanfang Hotel in Manzhou to celebrate everyone's success.
After the banquet, there happened to be a performance by the Russian dance troupe in the hotel, so after everyone had their fill of wine and food, they went to the performing arts center to enjoy the song and dance performance.
However, the exhaustion of the past few days, coupled with the drunkenness just now, made everyone show their fatigue, and then a lazy scene appeared.
Gulu, Gulu...
Zhao Yu picked up a glass of vodka mixed with Sprite from the coffee table and took two sips.
Although there was a lot of Sprite mixed in, the dry and spicy vodka could not be concealed, making Zhao Yu smack his lips repeatedly.
"If you don't like drinking it, then don't drink it!" At this time, Miss Miao whispered on the inside of Zhao Yu's shoulder, "Look at your miserable behavior..."
"Hey," Zhao Yu said with a smile, "I didn't taste it before, but now I realize it. This is a good thing, but you have to be in such a cold place to taste its charm!"
"...Go to the soldiers on the distant frontier to convey Katyusha's greetings..."
At this time, as the rhythm became faster and faster, the dance "Katyusha" ended. The passionate actors were bowing to the audience to express their gratitude, and sparse applause erupted in the performance hall.
Since it was not the peak tourist season at this time, there were not many visitors in the hall, and most of them were tourists staying in hotels.
"You're talking more and more upscale," Miao Ying smiled slightly, buried her head in Zhao Yu's arms, and said, "I almost forgot how you looked like a little ruffian back then..."
"Yeah..." Zhao Yu said with emotion, "I miss it a lot too!"
While talking, Zhao Yu looked at the actresses who were taking their curtain call in trance.
For some reason, when he saw these dancers, Yelena's appearance appeared in his mind!
Later, in addition to Yelena, Qiukina, Zoya, Elisa, Ksenia, Ge Bing, Han Sai, etc. also appeared in his mind.
well!
Another case that should never have happened...
After the dancers left the stage, the host began to announce the curtain. The next program was the boys' solo "Evening in the Suburbs of Moscow."
"Great detective, I haven't given you a proper congratulations yet!" At this time, Miao Ying said softly to Zhao Yu, "Two cases have been closed, and you have made another great contribution!"
"Three cases! Are the three cases combined, okay?" Zhao Yu corrected, "Although Guan Linlin's case was unexpected, it is still a major murder case after all!"
"Okay, okay, three cases, all three cases are yours, right?" Miss Miao said with a smile, "Do you have any plans next?"
"Of course!" Zhao Yu said excitedly, "The battle will last for three hundred rounds...hehehe..."
"Here we go again!" Miss Miao rolled her eyes, "I mean, shouldn't we take a break? I always feel that next..." Miao Ying glanced at Simone carefully and said cautiously, "Also, Something big is going to happen, and we'd better be ready..."
"Well..." Zhao Yushen said sympathetically, "Indeed, you should take a rest..."
At this time, a low and melodious song sounded on the stage: "It was quiet everywhere in the garden late at night, only the wind was rustling...
"... I hope that from now on, you and I will never forget that night outside Moscow... "
