That evening, in the office of the special task force.
Except for Cui Lizhu, the other team members were all present and discussing the case about the mysterious female corpse.
"I didn't expect that an old case would be involved again, and it was 34 years ago..." Ran Tao murmured, "Moreover, it also involves a master of Chinese studies and the president of a publishing house..."
"Team leader," Zeng Ke opened the big screen and pointed at a map and said, "This is the urban map of Kunyang City 34 years ago. The place outlined with a red pen is the route Su Ruohua took to work!
"Back then, it took about 25 minutes to ride a bicycle. Su Ruohua left the house at 7:50 and disappeared since then, so..." Zeng Ke pointed at the map and said, "She could have disappeared at any point on the route!"
"I think..." Miao Ying said thoughtfully, "It's basically impossible to look through old files and find clues from the journey!
"The only hope now is to find out the murderer's motive through Su Ruohua's interpersonal relationship! Of course..." Miao Ying pointed to the whiteboard, "There is also the Jingjiang line. How to trace the source of the body is also a way to solve the case. The essential!"
"So..." Wu Xiumin shrugged and said, "Two team leaders, do you mean that we really want to take over this frozen female corpse case
"Then... what about the live video?"
"Yes," Ran Tao agreed, "The frozen female corpse is an old case after all, but the live broadcast of the murder is in the present tense!"
"Live broadcast murder cases have always been our focus!" Zhao Yu said, "We still have to follow the original plan to find the live broadcast killer!
"But..." He pointed at the big screen and said, "The case of the female corpse is rather bizarre. Such a complex and advanced case is more in line with my taste, Detective Zhao!"
"I just contacted the Criminal Department," Miao Ying said, "They also asked us to investigate this case at the same time. If the case is too complicated, they will send another task force over!"
"Don't worry, Sister Wu," Zhao Yu said, "Only Miao Ying will be sent to investigate the matter of the female corpse for the time being. You and Brother Tao can just do their best to broadcast the murder case live!"
"Okay!" Wu Xiumin nodded and said, "In that case, I'd better not be distracted! I will go on to investigate the suspect, so as not to confuse the two cases... "
"Okay!" Zhao Yu agreed.
Wu Xiumin turned around and left, going to her desk.
At this time, Zeng Ke thought of something and said to Zhao Yu and Miao Ying: "Two team leaders, regarding the female corpse, can we start with freezing
"Just imagine, if you want to freeze a person for 34 years without changing his appearance, it's not an easy task, right?"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, this is indeed an idea!"
"Pei Pei said before that there were chemical components in the ice cubes used to freeze Su Ruohua," Miao Ying said. "They suspected that Su Ruohua was frozen in a planned and prepared way!"
"Ah?" Zeng Ke was surprised and asked quickly, "What's the chemical composition?"
"Hydroxyethyl substance," Miao Ying replied, "It is said that it is a professional freeze-preservation substance!"
"I know!" Zeng Ke said in surprise, "In order to maintain the activity of cold fresh meat, this kind of substance is often used in cold storage."
"Cold storage?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened, "Su Ruohua has been frozen in the cold storage for 34 years? With those selling cold meat?"
"Zhao Yu," Miao Ying reminded, "I said before that I asked about a fishy smell on the female corpse, but you said it was the smell of the autopsy room..."
"It smells fishy...is it?" Zhao Yu frowned and said, "But...if it's a cold storage, there are so many people coming in and out every day, and...34 years, 34 years!"
"It's definitely not a large cold storage," Miao Ying speculated. "The larger the cold storage, the more people will come in and out! I think it can only be a small cold storage, or a private cold storage..."
"Is this... easy to check?" Zhao Yu looked at Zeng Ke.
"I don't know!" Zeng Ke shook his head and said, "I have to... I have to consult with the local industrial and commercial department!"
"Look..." Zhao Yu seemed to have caught something, shaking his arms and said, "The murderer 34 years ago is not young now, right
"This person owns a cold storage, or has frequent contact with cold storage, and has been in contact with it for 34 years. Isn't it difficult to check such a person?"
"But range is a big problem," Miao Ying said, "There is a certain distance between Kunyang and Jingjiang. Although Su Ruohua disappeared from Kunyang, he was not necessarily frozen in Kunyang!
"Well, if the body was thrown off a ship passing by Jingjiang! Then that ship could have come from anywhere upstream and downstream of Jingjiang..."
"Ship! Ship... you reminded me!" Zhao Yu widened his eyes and said excitedly to Zeng Ke, "Zeng Ke, please check, are there any ships with cold storage
"A ship is a private space. What if the cold storage is inside the ship? Then the body will be frozen for 34 years without anyone noticing, right?"
"Well..." Zeng Ke quickly typed on the keyboard, "Let me check!"
"Yes..." Miao Ying said, "Maybe it is a cargo ship that transports cold meat and fish all year round. With these things as a cover, it will not be discovered...
"There should be... there should be such a ship, right?"
"Jingjiang..." Zhao Yu looked at the map and murmured to himself, "Does the Jingjiang River flow through Kunyang? It seems... tsk tsk..." He said close to the map, "I can't see clearly!"
"How about..." Ran Tao came up with an idea, "Ask Captain Shi! He is a local and must know better than us!"
Unexpectedly, as if it came true, as soon as Ran Tao finished speaking, Captain Shi entered the office dusty.
"Hey?" Ran Tao quickly pulled him forward, "I said Cao Cao and Cao Cao were here. As soon as I mentioned you, you showed up!"
"Team Leader Zhao," Captain Shi said breathlessly, "I just heard about the female corpse. Is it really... is it really a female corpse from 34 years ago
"The woman who was frozen must be in her 60s?"
"Yes!" After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he quickly asked the previous question, "Captain Shi, does the Jingjiang River flow through Kunyang?"
"Ah?" Captain Shi was stunned and said, "It's connected! The tributary of Jingjiang River passes through the center of Kunyang. We call it Fugui River. What's wrong? Why do you ask this?"
oh
Zhao Yu hurriedly walked to the old map to check the relationship between Fugui River and Su Ruohua's work route to see if the murderer abducted her by boat when he kidnapped her
"Captain Shi," Miao Ying asked again, "Are there any ships on the Jingjiang River that have their own cold storage?"
"Ah? Well..." Captain Shi said with a grin, "I can help you ask. I have never been on a boat, so I don't know for sure!"
"Okay! Then..." Miao Ying finally remembered the important point and asked, "You came here so late. Did you find something in the video case?"
"No, no..." Captain Shi shook his head and said, "There are no clues in all three cases! I'm really anxious!"
"Three?" Ran Tao was stunned, "Did I hear it correctly? Oh... I remember, there is also the case in Xiaoyao Mountain, right? What? That case is also quite strange?"
"That's right!" Captain Shi said, "The local police checked all recent missing persons reports, but none of them matched. It's been so long, and they haven't even figured out the identities of those two people!"
