One late night, due to the new progress in the case, Zhao Yu didn’t choose to rest like he usually did, but stayed in the office to analyze the case.
“No, I’m sure …” Zeng ke said, holding a stack of information.”Team leader, none of their movements are exactly the same as the video murder case!”
“Except for Kang Ziqing, no one else has been on the payslip for eight years in a row, so …” Zeng ke helplessly came to a conclusion.”Based on the current information, Kang Ziqing is the most suspicious!”
“Tsk tsk …” Zhao Yu was also very surprised by the results of the inquiry.
He had thought that he would be able to find a new suspect through the investigation of the paychecks, but now it seemed that he was very disappointed.
Kang Ziqing’s company had a high turnover rate. After searching through the entire salary bill, only Kang Ziqing’s name had the highest appearance rate!
Moreover, due to the different needs of each film crew, the participating members were transferred from different places. Kang Ziqing’s companions were constantly changing, and they basically didn’t work with each other often.
As Zeng ke had said, throughout the entire payslip, Kang Ziqing was the only person who was close to the video murder case!
So, no matter how one looked at it, Kang Ziqing was still the biggest suspect!
Could it be that cui Lizhu was right?
The case itself wasn’t complicated, was he just overthinking it? Kang Ziqing was the only murderer? Did he kill all those girls? The murder video was also shot by him?
But … Why?
Why … Were there still so many suspicious points?
For example, in 2003 and 2004, he was still working normally, but why did the video murder case stop for two years?
Also, from the payslip, Kang Ziqing couldn’t afford such an expensive camera. Where did he get it from? And how did he learn how to take pictures?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn addition, although the trajectory of his actions was very close to the video murder case, it was not a hundred percent consistent.
For example, the eighth victim, Gong Yili, was from Nanyang City, Guizhou Province. However, looking at Kang Ziqing’s paychecks, he had never been to Guizhou.
During the period of time when Gong Yili was killed, he was helping out with a film crew in Nanjiang province, which was hundreds of kilometers away.
Although there was still a possibility of him committing the crime, why would he travel hundreds of kilometers to kill a girl he didn’t know at all?
Why would the evidence about Kang Ziqing have such a strange phenomenon? He couldn’t be completely eliminated, but he couldn’t be 100% sure either?
Was he the murderer?
The more Zhao Yu thought about it, the more anxious he became. The anger in his heart suddenly burst out, and he felt a roar in his ears again …
Damn it!
This time, Zhao Yu wasn’t as anxious as before. He quickly sat down on the chair and forced himself to calm down.
“Team leader, are you alright?” Zeng ke had experienced this before. Seeing that Zhao Yu was in a bad state, he didn’t rush to help him, but poured him a glass of hot water.
“I’m fine, I’m fine …” Zhao Yu closed his eyes to calm himself down. He then felt that his ears had recovered a little, so he took the hot water and drank a few mouthfuls.
“It’s too late today,” Zeng ke said.”Why don’t you leave this place to us?”
“No, there are still some things that I haven’t figured out …” Zhao Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!”
Then, he returned to the whiteboard and continued to analyze the case.
“AI!” Zeng ke shook his head helplessly, then stood next to Zhao Yu and said,”the reason why this case is different from the ones we’ve dealt with before is that the biggest suspect, Kang Ziqing, has passed away!
“If he was still alive, maybe we wouldn’t have had such a hard time!
“But then again …” Zeng ke said, a little disappointed.”If Kang Ziqing is the real murderer, he is already dead. Even if we judge him and convict him, what can we do?”
“I’ve discussed this with Peipei before,” Zeng ke said, looking at the whiteboard with melancholy in his eyes.”What would happen if this case was not brought up?”
“Peipei saw with her own eyes that Miao Xiaowen’s family came to claim the bones … Sigh …” He sighed and said inexplicably,”do you think they would feel even worse when they learned that the murderer who killed their daughter had passed away?
“I’m missing, but I still have something to think about. But now …”
“Zeng ke, don’t think too much about it,” Zhao Yu said, looking at the whiteboard.”Our duty is to find out the truth. No matter how sad the truth is, we can’t waver!”
“You can’t ignore the truth just because you’re afraid of exposing the scar!” Zhao Yu said resolutely,”the reason why I am so insistent is that I am afraid that there might be other circumstances in this case, and that the real murderer is someone else. So … We must not close the case so easily without concrete evidence!”
“Kang Ziqing is dead, but if he’s the real murderer, we can’t let him go. However, if he’s not the real murderer, we can’t wrong a dead person!”
“Mm … I understand,” Zeng ke nodded silently, then said,”I just thought about it. Didn’t li Mo say that Kang Ziqing had the habit of petty theft?
“Do you think the camera was stolen from a film crew? As long as we can find the record of the lost camera, will we be able to find some clues?”
“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?” Zhao Yu suddenly perked up.”I’ll send a message to cui Lizhu and ask her to focus on this matter!”
“But …” Zhao Yu suddenly thought,”what if Kang Ziqing didn’t steal it? Don’t forget, his job was to transport props, equipment, and actors!
“Could the camera be ready-made and placed in his car? It’s just for use. If you return it after you’ve used it, then you won’t have lost any records!”
“That’s true,” Zeng ke nodded,”but where’s the videotape?” Not only was the videotape expensive, but there was no place to buy it. It was all purely imported!
“I think the production team should be very strict with the control of the videotape, right?”
“Yes, we can indeed consider this …”
Zhao Yu and Zeng ke discussed all the way until late at night, then they went back to their rooms to rest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe good thing about Feng ping police station was that the lounge and the office were in the same corridor. The equipment and environment of the lounge were also quite good, almost the same as that of an express hotel.
Zhao Yu only felt tired after he had washed up.
This kind of fatigue was mental, and it made Zhao Yu, who was already in a bad state, even worse.
For the past few days, he had to rely on invisible sleeping pills to fall asleep. Although the system devices had no side effects, he still felt that he had become dependent on sleeping pills. If he did not use them, he would definitely not be able to sleep.
Fortunately, through his previous adventures, he had obtained a considerable amount of sleeping pills, dozens of them, so he did not need to restrain himself for the time being.
So, after getting into bed, Zhao Yu took out a sleeping pill and took it.
Just as she finished taking her medicine, she received a WeChat message. He opened it and saw that it was a message from cui Lizhu.
“Boss, are you asleep? If you’re asleep, I’ll tell you tomorrow!”
This girl …
Zhao Yu knew that cui Lizhu’s investigation task was of utmost importance, so he didn’t dare to neglect it. He immediately replied to her message, saying that he was about to go to bed, and asked her if there was any new information.
* Buzz Buzz … *
As soon as the message was sent out, cui Lizhu called.”
“Boss, I want to talk to you,” cui Lizhu said, getting straight to the point.”I’ve already sent someone to check, and there are no other suspects in the film company.”
“I want to ask, do you still insist that Kang Ziqing is innocent?”
“This …” Zhao Yu asked,”you came here so late at night just to ask me this question?”
“Of course not,” cui Lizhu said with a rare serious tone.”After the video call, I sent someone to contact Five of the employees who used to work with Kang Ziqing. After asking them over the phone, I got an important piece of information.
“They all said that when Kang Ziqing was working, he spent most of his money on drinking, smoking, and playing cards. However, he never had a partner, nor did he find a prostitute …”
“Boss, Kang Ziqing was at the age where he was like a tiger. Don’t you think that’s a little unusual?” “Even if he doesn’t have schizophrenia, there must be something wrong with his mind!” Cui Lizhu said.
