The third missing person was also a sex worker, named Xiao Qin. She disappeared on the evening of August 3. Before she disappeared, she sent three voice messages to her friend. The first said she was almost at the restaurant she met. The second said that there seemed to be a suspicious person following her, and the third had only a short scream, and there was no contact after that.
Her friend did not call the police, but found the underworld that covered them. The first reaction of these brainless underworld was that competitors would engage them and come to ask for someone. The two sides almost had a weapon fight, if it weren’t for the police in the past two days. After investigating the case, this matter was exposed.
After hearing what Lin Qiupu said, Chen Shi said: “The sex workers in the clubs in the city are basically covered by the underworld. If they are missing, they will not report to the police. The murderer took advantage of this mentality and targeted them.”
Lin Dongxue said: "Women are always unlucky roles."
Lin Qiupu opened the audio file left by the missing person, and everyone listened together. The first voice message seemed to be walking on the road, with a panting tone. The missing person said: "Amy, I will be there soon. You can order food first! Just after get off work , I met a guest with a special dick, and I will tell you when I arrive."
Chen Shi said, "Who is this guest?"
Lin Qiupu said: "I have asked, but Xiaoqin's place of work has repeatedly emphasized that they are serious pedicure shops and will not allow us to investigate, monitor, swipe card records, and make appointment calls."
"Forget it."
"Yesterday they closed the store by themselves, and the manager disappeared completely and it was completely impossible to check. Are you angry?"
Chen Shi secretly thought that the suspect might have had "business" contact with these women, but their work unit thought about self-protection beforehand and couldn't investigate it.
Continue to listen to the recording. In the second audio segment, the missing person seems to be jogging, and his voice is a little trembling, "Amy, it seems that someone is following me. It has already been dumped and just scared me to death."
Chen Shi said, "Do it again!"
After hearing it three more times, he said, "There is the sound of a train in the background."
"It may also be the subway." Xu Xiaodong said.
Then there is the third audio. There is only a short "ah" in the audio, and then there is a violent crash. It may be that the phone has fallen to the ground or the owner has been attacked.
After listening, everyone was silent and at a loss. Lin Qiupu said: "Xiao Qin's bank card was transferred all the money in the early morning of August 4th. The card that received the money belonged to the suspect Zhang Xiao, so we have sufficient information. The reason is to suspect that Xiao Qin has been killed, how to find her, the current clues are only these three audio clips."
"Did her friend say where to eat?" Chen Shi asked.
Lin Qiupu found a detailed map of the city and marked the restaurant where the two met with a pushpin. Chen Shi said, "Where is her workplace?"
"Here!" Lin Qiupu marked it out again.
Everyone leaned over to study. Chen Shi was the driver and knew the road conditions better than anyone else. He said, "There is no railroad track between these two points. The nearest one is half a kilometer away. There is no need for Xiao Qin to take this road!"
Lin Qiupu took out a few photos and downloaded them from the Internet. "According to her friend's response, Xiao Qin was wearing this one when she disappeared."
The suit includes high-heeled sandals, a hip skirt, and a small shoulder bag. It is not easy to move in any way. Chen Shi suddenly said, “Why are we so rigid in thinking about the problem. Hearing the sound does not mean that it is nearby. Although some places are far away It's far away, but the voice can be heard clearly... I will check this with Dongxue and Xiaodong, and I will tell you the result tomorrow."
"Ok!"
The three drove to the vicinity of Xiaoqin’s work place, and took her photos to inquire around. The uncle who bought boiled corn and roasted red yam all knew what the beautiful girls who came down from this building every day did. They all said I have seen this girl, but I can't remember the time.
Chen Shi said to Lin Dongxue: "Why don't we buy you the same clothes? Let's simulate it."
"Huh? Why do you always toss me?"
"Only you can wear this kind of clothes."
"Qualitative thinking, can't you wear it? Can't Xiaodong wear it?"
Xu Xiaodong was afraid that the two of them would come to the conclusion of the discussion, and asked him to dress in women's clothing, and said: "I don't think it is necessary to simulate it again. Listen carefully to the audio again to see if there is any omission. Let's look for it on the spot."
There was really no clue right now, and the three had to find a quiet place and listen to the audio again.
After hearing it many times, Chen Shi said: "Have you noticed that there is no sound of high heels in the first audio, but it is very clear in the second audio."
Xu Xiaodong said: "Maybe she was running when the second audio was recorded?"
Chen Shi was also uncertain, and asked Lin Dongxue, "Can you hear the sound while walking in high heels?"
"Uh… "
In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, the three of them tried it out and bought a pair of similar high-heeled sandals on the spot. Lin Dongxue, who rarely wears high-heeled shoes, was quite unaccustomed to pedaling this. She recorded exactly the same passage as she walked and sent it to Chen Shi.
Chen Shi opened it and listened. In the voice message from Lin Dongxue, the sound of high heels can be heard very clearly.
Xu Xiaodong said: "This is weird. Could it be that she took off her shoes?"
Lin Dongxue suddenly realized, and smiled: "I understand, the girl's common problem, she said that she was about to come but she didn't leave at all, she hadn't put on high heels at that time!"
"But she is gasping, could it be..." Xu Xiaodong said a little embarrassed.
"It shouldn't be'work'." Chen Shi said, "Listen carefully, you can hear the sound of vehicles on the road, and the panting sounds are rhythmic... Sports, she is exercising, maybe in a gym or something!"
Chen Shi turned on the phone and checked it. There is a fitness club nearby. They asked the staff here. They said that Xiao Qin did come to exercise every afternoon. She rented a locker here and changed every time she came. Put on fitness clothes and shoes.
Chen Shi asked the staff to open the locker and take a look. There were sneakers, sportswear, towels, and other insignificant personal items, including a box of matches with the contact information of a certain winery.
Chen Shishi took a picture of the contact information on the matchbox on his phone, and then asked the staff: "Where does Xiao Qin usually exercise?"
The staff member pointed to a row of treadmills by the window, "She does aerobic exercises there every afternoon when she comes over. Generally, the time is not long, about 20 minutes to half an hour."
The three people came to the area, Lin Dongxue turned on the treadmill to test it, and recorded a voice message very similar to Xiao Qin. Chen Shi said: "The panting sound is still a bit small, which means that she has been running for more than ten minutes at that time."
"Anyway, we found the first point." Lin Dongxue smiled.
