C4 (1/2)
Opening the door of the office, I saw Liu Lee seated at the desk, breathing heavily. He looked to be very angry. A young policewoman walked in front of him with a cup of hot water, but Liu Lee waved his hand fiercely and knocked the cup to the ground. The policewoman screamed out loud in shock and ran away in a hurry.
Liao Mengfann picked up the blanket that Liu Lee dropped and threw it into the trash can. ”Captain Liu, why are you back so soon? ”Why is there such a big fire?”
”F * ck!” Liu Lee cursed out loud, threw the car keys back to Liao Mengfann and said: ”Within a kilometer radius around the crime scene, the surveillance videos from 2 in the morning to now have all disappeared.”
Liao Mengfann asked with doubt: ”Disappeared? Is it artificially deleted? ”
Liu Lee scolded: ”Fuck, it would be great if someone deleted the data, at least I can find a computer expert to recover it. ”Within a kilometer radius of the crime scene, all the surveillance cameras on Distant Expanse Street, Vanguard Road, Long River Road, and Ning Yuan Avenue, the main road of the Public Security Bureau, have been artificially destroyed.”
I interrupted her and asked, ”If both your eyes were destroyed, then what about your eyes?”
Liu Lee sighed, and said: ”These few big roads belong to the reform range of the old city, and the usual traffic flow is not large, so there are no Dark Eyed.”
Liao Mengfann asked: ”The image before the destruction should still be left behind, right? No clues at all? ”
Liu Lee said, ”Damn it, he's right here. The surveillance camera didn't manage to take anything before 3 in the morning, I suspect that the killer has a gun in his hands!”
If the criminal had a gun in his hand, the nature of the case would be even worse. Furthermore, to be able to meticulously arrange the process of throwing a corpse, it seemed that the criminal had a high intelligence. Judging by the destruction of the camera, there must have been more than one criminal. Just as I was thinking, Liu Lee's phone suddenly rang.
After finishing the call, Liu Lee heaved a long sigh of relief, but he had a weird expression on his face as he looked at the two of us: ”The traffic police have already worked with our Technical Team to do an on-site investigation. The destroyed cameras did not find any traces of bullets brushing past them, but on every damaged camera, they found a bit of red powder. In other words, the killer smashed the camera with a brick. ”
”What?” Liao Mengfann and I shouted at the same time. The road monitoring camera is generally set up to a height of 8 meters to 10 meters. On the day of the crime, it was snowing heavily and the visibility was extremely low. The fact that the killer was able to use ordinary bricks to destroy the camera in this kind of harsh weather showed that his strength, accuracy, and mental fortitude were all extremely high. Also, the murderer was very familiar with the surrounding area. It was very likely that the local people had committed the crime.
Rather than daydreaming, he might as well set it up boldly. I asked Liao Mengfann to help me find a map of the place, then spread it out on the table and said, ”We might as well deduce the killer's route.”
I pointed to the sign of the Liaoyuan Public Security Bureau on the map and said, ”This place is the entire Ning Yuan Road, from the east to the west. 950 meters west of the Ning Yuan Avenue is the Distant Expanse Street, and the cameras here have been destroyed. Half a kilometer to the north of Liao Yuan Street was Vanguard Street, and one kilometer to the west of Vanguard Street was Long River Road. On both sides of the Long River Road were Upper River Street and Lower River Street, which were sealed off at the moment due to the renovation of the road. Another possibility is that the murderer may be living in a residential area just west of Long River Road. ”
”There is another possibility …” Liao Mengfann interrupted me, ”Are you talking about concealing your identity?”
She nodded and said, ”It's very possible that I don't understand why the murderer did this. If I were the murderer, I definitely wouldn't do this. With such regular monitoring, didn't he expose the hiding place?”
I agree with Liao Mengfann's point of view very much. The culprit can be sure that it's definitely more than two people. If they did this on purpose, the direction of detection would be even more difficult. Just as we were discussing, Little Lee and Little Wang walked into the office with a depressed face.
The two pitiful people didn't even have time to rest before Liu Lee sent them to Li Residence. There was nothing they could do, at the moment, they didn't know anything about the dead bodies, and could only rely on a clue that didn't count as a clue. After separating Xiao Wang and the Little Lee, Liu Lee went to the Technical Team. The pressure from above was really huge, and there were some things that he could only do by himself.
I stood behind Liao Mengfann, while the little girl held a pen and drew an analysis map on a piece of paper. I walked over to the water dispenser, poured a cup of hot water and placed it beside her, then picked up a chair and sat down beside her without caring if she was willing or not, and said: ”We can use the identity of the dead to deduce, and reduce the scope of the identity of the dead to the minimum.”
Liao Mengfann lifted the paper cup, took a sip, and asked: ”What do you think?”
