Chapter 1736: Standing Still

That night, Zhao Yu stayed in the office alone, still facing the whiteboard thinking about the case.

In the past two days, the "Gen" hexagram representing the progress of the case has not been published in the hexagram, which shows that Zhao Yu's current investigation has not made substantial progress.

Therefore, Zhao Yu is thinking hard, is there something wrong with his investigation?

Was it the wrong direction, or did I imagine the case too simply?

To be honest, Zhao Yu really didn't pay attention to the water well case from the very beginning because of the five unsolved cases.

He believes that the past experience in handling cases alone is enough to solve the case.

However, until today, he had to re-examine the case.

Although, he reasoned out a new idea during the day, thinking that as long as the four victims offended the murderer and understood the murderer's hatred, the case could be solved.

However, how easy is it to investigate this murder motive?

Just like the previous bank corpse case, even the victim didn't know when he offended the murderer, let alone others.

Therefore, if you want to understand the murderer's motive for killing, sometimes it is difficult to understand it from one side. This requires a lot of information and all the information about the victim.

However, Ba Hongxue and Wang Pengyi were already dead. They didn't have many friends and relatives, and they had offended so many people during their lifetime. One can imagine how difficult it is to know who has always wanted to kill them for revenge.

If it was a new case that just happened, maybe Zhao Yu still has many ways to go, but even the latest victim has been dead for more than 3 years, and a lot of evidence has disappeared, so there is no way to start.

what to do?

what to do?

Facing the whiteboard and looking at the four skeletons in the photo, Zhao Yu felt helpless.

He hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time.

Although many cases seemed unimaginable, they never really stumped him. However, this seemingly ordinary water well case made him stop.

In the end...why?

Zhao Yu turned to look at the picture of the well, and turned his attention to the well again.

So far, he still hasn't figured out why the murderer chose this well located in the deep mountains and old forests?

Although he knew that this well was the key to solving the case, he just couldn't figure out what mystery it contained?

Now even the wells have been demolished, and there is still nothing to be found except fingerprints and handprints on the bricks and cement.

buzz... buzz...

Suddenly, Zhao Yu's cell phone rang, and the call was from Miao Ying.

Miao Ying informed Zhao Yu that the experts had already made the portraits of the remaining two skeletons, so they could go over and take a look.

So, Zhao Yu left the office, went to the missing department, and saw the two 3D portraits that had been completed.

But seeing that the appearance of the two deceased is relatively ordinary, they are the kind of public faces that are thrown into the crowd and quickly forgotten.

However, due to the age considerations of the experts, the two are slightly older.

"Xiao Zhao," Zhang Jingfeng said to Zhao Yu, "I'm going to get out the comparison map of the portrait and compare it with the database. Although there may be deviations in the reshaped portrait, I still have to try it."

"Well... let's do it!" After Zhao Yu nodded, he said to Zhang Yaohui, who was waiting at the side, "Team Zhang, I don't want to send out the portrait just yet to make a large-scale revelation of corpse identification.

"I'm worried that if the murderer sees it, he will scare the snake away!"

"Yes, I think so too!" Zhang Jingfeng said positively, "Let's see what the results of the comparison are before we talk about it!

"Large-scale identification of corpses is the worst policy, and it should only be used when it is absolutely necessary."

"OK,

I see. Zhang Yaohui nodded in agreement.

"Also," Zhao Yu instructed again, "Although the probability is very small, there must be someone on duty at the well. If any suspicious person is found approaching the well, they must be arrested and questioned first!"

"Don't worry," Zhang Yaohui said, "The employees of the Zhangze Police Department's United Forest Farm have been watching the scene of the crime for the past few days! I will also send a group of people there tomorrow..."

After leaving the missing department, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but Zhao Yu and Miao Ying still studied the case together until ten o'clock in the evening before going back to the hotel to rest.

Although Zhao Yu had corrected his attitude and started to take this case seriously, he never thought that everything was just the beginning.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and the water well case was still stalled, with no progress.

During this week, Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin sent back more detailed information about the two deceased, but due to the age, it will take longer to restore the life trajectory of the deceased.

In addition, the portrait side is also in a quagmire. Due to errors in the restored portrait technology, the computer has found more than 20,000 suspected targets through database comparison.

After the police dispatched the age factor, there are still more than 7,000. Because the family members of the deceased did not report the case, the police did not know the disappearance of the suspected target at all, so they could only investigate more than 7,000 targets one by one.

In this way, the delay is also conceivable.

In addition, the experts' genetic maps have not made any progress. Through the DNA identification of the two deceased, the experts found that the sequences of the two deceased did not appear on the existing samples, and it was even impossible to judge the general area where they were located.

Therefore, this clue can only end in failure.

In the past seven days, Zhao Yu has not been idle. He conducted no less than ten detailed investigations on the autopsy report on the bones and the remains of the deceased, trying to find any clues.

However, the bones of the deceased had no unique features. Except for No. 3 with a broken nose and No. 4 without front teeth, there were no other obvious features.

The relics of the deceased are also popular items and have no investigative value.

Zhao Yu even sent people to collect folklore near Camel Mountain to see if there were any sayings about water wells in the local customs.

However, the police officers traveled all over the nearby villages, but did not hear a single story about the well.

To make matters worse, during the seven days, Zhao Yu's hexagrams were also extremely unsatisfactory, and only a "Gen" hexagram was drawn on the fourth day.

However, after the end of the day, Zhao Yu realized that the "Gen" hexagram did not represent the Shuijing case, but the "Memoirs of Murder" case that he had been paying attention to.

Because, he received a report from Wang Can that day, saying that Yaoming police had finally verified another murder case through unremitting efforts, which was exactly the same as described in "Memoirs of Murder"...

However, at this moment, Zhao Yu was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the memoirs of murder. He had already made up his mind and concentrated all his energy on the Shuijing case.

He believes that the reason why the Shuijing case has stagnated must be related to his command, and there must be some way to speed up the progress.

It must be that I haven't worked hard enough and overlooked something...

For this reason, he never went back to his hometown once in seven days, and never met an old friend. Although the little Huangmao Zhou Yang and others called him every day and asked him to drink, he didn't answer once.

He locked himself in the office every day, pondered and analyzed the case, and entered the long-lost state of madness again.

For example, today, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, but he was still standing in front of the whiteboard, studying something.

It may be due to professional sensitivity, or it may be due to experience. After studying all the details, Zhao Yu always has a feeling that the thing he has ignored will appear soon...
