Crazy Detective

In the middle of the night, in the Special Investigation Group office, Miao Ying was trying to persuade Zhao Yu.

"There's already some progress in your case, so you should rest well tonight! We only need one person on duty here!"

However, Zhao Yu stood in front of the whiteboard, deep in thought, and ignored Miao Ying.

"As long as you find the business partner in the suit," Miao Ying said,"your case will be half solved! What are you so anxious about?"

"I'm thinking ..." Zhao Yu pointed to the dates on the whiteboard and said,"the days when these people went missing! There seems to be a problem. "

"Oh?" "What's the problem?" Miao Ying asked.

"You see," Zhao Yu said,"Zhang Yuyin was the first to be caught by the murderer, and also the first to be released! Abandoned or released, in short, the murderer released him!"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Qu Xiaohua was the second one to be caught, and now, she is also the second one to be released! "Plus, he's still alive," Zhao Yu said."So, Peng Zhengyi was the third to be caught. Could it be that the murderer is going to release him next?"

"Hmm ..." Miao Ying nodded."In theory, it's possible!"

"The kidnapping and release of these people are in order," Zhao Yu said, frowning."Is there no other reason behind this?"

"What are you trying to say?" Miao Ying asked,"is it like the female corpse under the bridge? the first person the murderer caught was the one he hated the most?"

"No... I just feel that there might be some reason behind this!" Zhao Yu said,"this pattern is also what the murderer wanted to express!

"Like ... Like how he released them in Xiaoyao mountain!"

"Alright then!" Miao Ying said,"maybe you're right, but the most direct way is right in front of us. As long as we find the man in the suit, we'll know everything ..."

"It's been 15 years!" Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed."Including Bai Wenhai's daughter, that's a total of five people! If the murderer wanted to imprison these five people for 15 years without anyone knowing, it wouldn't be an easy thing, right?"

"Well, that's true," Miao Ying said."The murderer should at least have a place where he can be imprisoned without being disturbed by others!"

"But I don't know how far this place is from Xiaoyao mountain!" Zhao Yu asked,"five people went missing at the same time. Why didn't they attract the police's attention at that time?"

"Maybe they stopped contacting each other after they went their separate ways?" Miao Ying guessed,"qu Xiaohua went missing in Baoshan, which is more than 600 kilometers away from Kangle. She definitely doesn't know.

"Also, Peng Zhengyi's life was miserable. His disappearance didn't attract any attention ..."

"As for Bai Wenhai's parents, they went missing in a car accident. The police mistook it for the driver who caused the accident, so it's hard for them to consider other aspects ..."

"Yeah ..." Zhao Yu sighed."The time when they met was too long ago! I don't know if we can still find this man in a suit!"

"I definitely will! "That's not like you." Miss Miao smiled."Our great detective Zhao is invincible. How could there be a case that he can't solve?"

"Hehe ..." Zhao Yu laughed, then spoke his mind,"I just hope that we can solve the case quickly and rescue the rest of the people who were imprisoned!"

"If ... They're still alive!"

"Well ..." Miao Ying nodded thoughtfully."I hope they're all still alive!"

"Then ..." Zhao Yu pointed to the white board next to him and asked,"how are things on your side? Any progress?"

"Well ..." Miao Ying shook her head and said,"there is, but not much progress!

"I've sent people to the upstream and downstream of Jing River to ask around. The answer we got was the same!" Miao Ying said,"there are very few ships on the Jing River that carry cold storage!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yu's eyes were wide open."So ... It's not a boat?"

"It's hard to say," Miao Ying said."The boatman told us that some of the routes in Jing River are too narrow, so big ships can't pass through, so there won't be any ships with cold storage!"

"Is that so?" Zhao Yu asked,"if it's not a cold storage warehouse, would a freezer work?"

"The refrigerator can't hold that many fish!" Miao Ying said,"Zhao Yu, regarding this case, I think we need to change our way of thinking!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yu asked,"what's the idea?"

"Maybe we were too serious about the cold storage warehouse!" Miao Ying said,"Dr. Gao gave them a test sheet this morning. They found a suspicious fiber in the ice residue on the female corpse!"

"This fiber is from some kind of felt cloth!" Miao Ying explained,"the special feature of this felt cloth is that it is thick and insulated. It is usually used to transport frozen goods!"

"Ah? "Keeping the ice warm ..." Zhao Yu pondered and said,"so ... The frozen female corpse might have been wrapped in felt cloth to prevent the ice from melting?"

"Right!" Miao Ying said,"so, we now have a speculation that someone deliberately threw the frozen female corpse into the river!

"He might be on the ship, or he might be by the river!"

"Oh ... Oh ..." Zhao Yu thought hard, but his eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter."But, why did you do that?" Why did you throw a perfectly frozen corpse into the river to be discovered?"

"Yeah," Miao Ying said."That's why I didn't make much progress!

"In the beginning, we made a lot of assumptions. For example, the murderer's cold storage was going to be demolished, and there was no way to freeze the body in the future.

"In order not to be discovered, I threw it into the river!

"Or, the murderer has already passed away, and his descendants or relatives found the female corpse he kept and threw it into the river in a hurry ..."

"And ..." Miao Ying continued,"the murderer didn't actually want to throw the body into the river!

"Maybe he just wanted to use the boat to move the body, but the body fell into the river due to an operation error or some other reason ..."

"Eh?" Zhao Yu held his chin and nodded."You don't say. It's really full of infinite possibilities!"

"If the corpse was thrown by the river," Miao Ying said,"then the murderer's home should be by the river, or very close ..."

"If he wanted to move the body, then something must have happened to his cold storage warehouse recently, and it can't be used anymore!

"However, if you think about it, the workload will still be huge ..."

"Yes, it really is!" Zhao Yu said,"what you said earlier was more of an accident. I always feel that if the murderer was normal, he wouldn't have dug his own grave!

"The corpse might have fallen into the river due to an accident! Eh? "Meow ..." Zhao Yu thought of an idea."Maybe there are external conditions for accidents?

"Shouldn't you check the weather during that period? Could it be ... That the body fell into the river because of the bad weather?"
