In the middle of the night, in the office of the special task force, Miao Ying was admonishing Zhao Yu:
"Your case has been revealed, so you'd better have a good rest tonight! Just leave one person on duty here!"
However, Zhao Yu stood in front of the whiteboard, thoughtful and ignored Miao Ying.
"As long as you find the partner in a suit," Miao Ying said, "your case will be half solved! Why are you so anxious?"
"I'm thinking..." Zhao Yu pointed to the date on the whiteboard and said, "the days when these people disappeared! It seems... there is something wrong?"
"Oh?" Miao Ying asked hurriedly, "What's the problem?"
"Look," Zhao Yu said, "Zhang Yuyin was the first to be captured by the murderer, and also the first to be released! Whether he was abandoned or released, in short, he was let go by the murderer!"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"And Qu Xiaohua was the second one to be arrested, and now, he is also the second one to be released! Moreover, he is still alive..." Zhao Yu said, "So... Peng Zhengyi was the third one to be caught, could it be... Next One, is the murderer going to let him go too?"
"Hmm..." Miao Ying nodded, "Theoretically, it is possible!"
"The kidnapping of these people is in order, and the release is also in order," Zhao Yu frowned, "could it be... Isn't there some reason for this?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Miao Ying said, "Is it true that like the female corpse under the bridge, the first person the murderer catches is the one with the greatest hatred?"
"No... I just think there may be some reason for this!" Zhao Yu said, "This pattern is also what the murderer wants to express!
"It's like... just like he released people in Xiaoyao Mountain!"
"Okay!" Miao Ying said, "Maybe your guess is correct, but the most direct way is already in front of you. As long as you find the man in the suit, you will know everything..."
"15 years!" Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed, "Including Bai Wenhai's daughter, there are 5 people in total! It seems that it is not an easy task for the murderer to imprison these 5 people for 15 years without anyone noticing. ?”
"Well, this is indeed true," Miao Ying said, "The murderer must at least have a place of imprisonment where he will not be disturbed by others!"
"I just don't know how far this place is from Xiaoyao Mountain!" Zhao Yu said, "Five people disappeared one after another at the same time. Why didn't they attract the attention of the police at that time?"
"Maybe they stopped communicating with each other after they parted ways, right?" Miao Ying guessed, "Qu Xiaohua disappeared in Baoshan. Baoshan is more than 600 kilometers away from Kangle, so he must not know about it
"Also, Peng Zhengyi lived a miserable life, and his disappearance did not attract anyone's attention...
"As for Bai Wenhai and his daughter, they disappeared due to a car accident. The police mistakenly believed that it was the driver who caused the accident, so it is difficult to hope that other aspects will be considered..."
"Yeah..." Zhao Yu sighed, "The time when they met was really too long ago! I don't know if we can still find this man in the suit!"
"I will definitely do it! This is not like you," Miss Miao smiled slightly, "Our Detective Zhao is invincible in every battle, so how can there be cases that cannot be solved?"
"Haha..." Zhao Yu responded with a silly smile, and then said what was in his heart, "I just hope that the case can be solved quickly and the remaining imprisoned people can be rescued!
"If... they are still alive!"
"Well..." Miao Ying nodded thoughtfully, "I hope they are all still alive!"
"Then..." Zhao Yu pointed to the whiteboard next to him and asked, "How are you doing there? Is there any progress?"
"Well..." Miao Ying shook her head and said, "Yes, there is, but there is not much progress!
"I sent people to ask all the questions upstream and downstream of the Jingjiang River, and we all got the same answer!" Miao Ying said, "There are very few river ships with cold storage on the Jingjiang River!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu opened his eyes wide, "So... it's not a ship anymore?"
"It's hard to say," Miao Ying said. "The boatman told us that some channels in Jingjiang are too narrow to allow large ships to pass, so there won't be ships with cold storage!"
"Really?" Zhao Yu asked, "It's not a cold storage, but a freezer?"
"You can't hold much fish in the freezer!" Miao Ying said, "Zhao Yu, regarding this case, I think we have to change our thinking!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "What's your idea?"
"Perhaps we are taking the cold storage too seriously!" Miao Ying said, "Forensic doctor Gao gave a test sheet this morning, and they found a suspicious fiber in the ice slag on the female body!
"This fiber is made of some kind of felt!" Miao Ying introduced. "The characteristics of this kind of felt are that it is thick and insulating. It is generally used when transporting frozen goods!"
"Ah? Insulation..." Zhao Yu pondered and said, "So... the frozen female corpse may have been wrapped in felt to... prevent the ice from melting?"
"Yes!" Miao Ying said, "So, we now have a speculation that someone deliberately threw the frozen female corpse into the river!
"He may be on the boat, or he may be by the river!"
"Oh... oh..." Zhao Yu was thinking hard, but his brows were getting tighter and tighter, "But why do you do this? Why did you throw the frozen body into the river and be discovered?"
“That’s right,” Miao Ying said, “So, there’s not much progress!
"At the beginning, we made a lot of assumptions, such as... the murderer's cold storage will be demolished, and there will no longer be a way to freeze the body
“In order not to be discovered, I threw it into the river!
"Or maybe the murderer has passed away, and his descendants or relatives discovered the female body he preserved, and in a hurry, threw the body into the river...
"And..." Miao Ying added, "The murderer didn't actually want to throw the body into the river!
"Perhaps, he just wanted to use the river boat to transfer the body, but while the river boat was sailing, due to an operating error or other reasons, the body fell into the river..."
"Huh?" Zhao Yu pinched his chin and nodded, "Don't mention it, it's really full of infinite possibilities!"
"If the body was dumped from the river," Miao Ying said, "then the murderer's home should be by the river, or very close...
"If it's because he wants to move the body, then his cold storage has encountered problems in the near future and can no longer be used!
"However, if you think about it, you will know that the workload of such an investigation is still not as large as usual..."
"Well, it's true!" Zhao Yu said, "What you said before, I tend to say accidentally, I always feel that if the murderer is still normal, it is impossible to do such a thing of digging his own grave!
"The corpse may have fallen into the river because of an accident! Huh? Meow meow..." Zhao Yu thought of an idea, "Maybe there are external conditions for the accident, right
"Should you check the weather conditions during that period? Could it be that... the body fell into the river because of bad weather?"
