At 8:40 in the evening, in an elegant Western restaurant room.
"Sister Miao, I really checked everything," Zeng Ke said while holding his cell phone, "The ambulance driver didn't lie. They really transferred the patient to another hospital that night and passed by the section of road where Zhang Qile disappeared.
"The hospital has verified it, and two accompanying nurses also confirmed that they did not find anything suspicious on the way back..."
"Look, I said it's okay, right?" Cui Lizhu said, "Sister Miao, you are a little too nervous!"
"Yes, Team Leader Miao," Wu Xiumin advised, "You'd better have a good rest tonight! You worked too hard..."
"..." Miao Ying did not speak, but pinched her forehead, looking very tired.
In fact, no one knows how much pressure she is under. The case is only one aspect of it, but more importantly, it is actually the worry about Zhao Yu.
In particular, after the five agents were rescued, Zhao Yu still did not show up, which aggravated Miao Ying's worries.
She knew that the reason why Zhao Yu didn't show up was that he must have gone to France to save Amerola!
She understands Zhao Yu's personality. Although Amerola and he just met by chance and are not even friends in the true sense, Zhao Yu will still save her without hesitation.
Of course, Miao Ying knew very well that Amerola was probably a trap!
And Zhao Yu not only wants to save Amerola, but also uses the rescue to find out about the successor.
She remembered that Zhao Yu personally told her that in order to solve the threat of successor, it must be solved fundamentally, and being passively beaten is not the answer...
But…
You are fighting alone. The Lundi Group is so huge, how can you possibly do it alone
"Team Leader Miao, are you okay?" Wu Xiumin asked with concern when she saw Miao Ying was absent-minded.
"Oh... It's okay, it's okay..." Miao Ying took a sip of juice and explained, "I just think this case is getting more and more complicated...
"By the way, Sister Wu," she asked Wu Xiumin, "how is the investigation going on about the teacher?"
"We have been checking for a day," Wu Xiumin said, "so far we have only found one person who meets the requirements, but the specific information is still under investigation!"
"Oh? Let me guess..." Cui Lizhu said excitedly, "Is it the famous painter Chen Jinghua? The one Zhang Qile paid to name?"
"No!" Wu Xiumin shook her head and said, "Master Chen only came to Guangdong in 2009. Although he and Zhang Qile have the status of master and apprentice, they have basically no communication!"
"Isn't it?" Cui Lizhu was curious, "Who is that?"
"We investigated Zhang Qile's situation when he was in school," Wu Xiumin said, "There are only a few teachers who are close to Zhang Qile, but most of these people were transferred from other provinces, and their ages do not match!
"Now, only Zhang Chunwang, the honorary vice president of Yunzhou Academy of Fine Arts, meets the conditions. First, he is a native of Yunzhou; second, he has a close relationship with Zhang Qile and has recommended many of Zhang Qile's works; third, he I am 71 years old this year, which is consistent with my age..."
"Wow," Cui Lizhu guessed, "could it be that this teacher was obsessed with the red bathtub case, so he asked Zhang Qile to paint such a painting?"
"Now, it's hard to say..." Wu Xiumin said, "If this teacher is really related to the red bathtub case 40 years ago, then... he probably wouldn't allow Zhang Qile to draw such words!
"Besides, at such an old age, he doesn't look like a murderer who could kill Zhang Qile..."
"Anyway," Miao Ying said, "This is at least one direction. Sister Wu, let's check this teacher carefully!"
"Well," Wu Xiumin said, "there will be results tomorrow!"
"Oh, oh..." While everyone was talking, Ran Tao's voice sounded outside the door. After seeing a table of sumptuous dishes, he rubbed his palms and said greedily, "I'm so hungry. I can finally have a good meal, Miao." The team leader is so powerful, hahaha..."
After saying that, he ignored the politeness and directly took a large piece of steak into his mouth with his fork.
Cui Lizhu looked at him with contempt and muttered two words: "Virtue..."
After eating, Ran Tao wiped his hands with a tissue and reported to Miao Yinghui:
"All day today, I have been dealing with the two brothers Bao Yicheng and Bao Yucheng!" Ran Tao said, "These two people are quite cooperative. There is no search warrant, but they still let us search their residence…
"Let me see, there should be nothing wrong with these two. It's just that Bao Yicheng is in trouble. His wife already knows about him and Zhang Qile, and they had a shocking quarrel... "
"So," Miao Ying asked, "the matter about Qu Fali has also been verified?"
"Yes, what Bao Yucheng said is absolutely true. Qu Fali was indeed Mr. Bao's lover back then, and they even took photos together. Look, such a beautiful mixed-race girl, can even a man be attracted to her, right?"
With that said, Ran Tao turned on his phone and showed everyone Qu Fali's photos from back then.
Sure enough, Qu Fali is tall and curvy. She is indeed a beauty!
"This photo..." Miao Ying noticed the details, "Where did you get it?"
"The Bao family is a wealthy family and they are very particular about everything they do," Ran Tao praised. "Mr. Bao's relics are all well preserved!"
"Then..." Cui Lizhu asked hurriedly, "Didn't you find anything else?"
"Anything else? There really aren't any..." Ran Tao waved his hand and said, "I asked my assistants to take pictures. Just look back. I didn't see anything related to the red bathtub case...
"I still think there is nothing wrong with these two brothers. At the very least, their alibi are very clear, especially for Bao Yucheng. He was not in Yunzhou at all when the crime occurred..."
"It seems..." Cui Lizhu murmured, "In addition to the teacher's line, there are other lines to check. Are we really at an impasse
"Is it true that we solved cases too smoothly in the past?"
"We haven't figured out several key points. This matter is indeed a bit outrageous," Wu Xiumin said to Miao Ying. "To this day, we still can't figure out why the murderer killed Zhang Qile..."
"Don't worry," Ran Tao said, "The crime scene is still under full investigation. Maybe clues will come to us soon..."
After saying that, he picked up another piece of steak and ate it...
Others had no appetite at all, especially Miao Ying herself. Her eyes were fixed in a certain direction, and her mind was filtering the entire case...
At this moment, she seemed to feel Zhao Yu's state of mind when he solved the unsolved case. In this case, there were not many clues, but why did the murderer never surface
Is it really that Zhang Qile’s interpersonal relationships are too complicated
Or... have you overlooked any important information
Or...
Miao Ying frowned and wondered, had she been deceived by something
for example…
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she said in her heart, could it be... that she was too concerned about the old cases from 40 years ago
Was it because he had doubts about the old case 40 years ago that he was confused with the current case
What if... I don't think about what happened 40 years ago and only look at the case in front of me
Could it be... The situation is different!
