Chapter 79 - 79: Target Appears (1)
Ren Hongfeng’s major discovery was a video recording.
There was a surveillance camera installed in the living room of a house on the first floor opposite Gao Meimei’s building.
It was originally used by parents to supervise their children’s homework.
In the end, the camera happened to be facing the window that night.
He recorded the situation that night.
Chen Yan, Liang Gang, Ren Hongfeng, and the others looked at the projection nervously.
The night was dim, and although the camera was high-definition, it could only see the figure clearly, not to mention the face.
April 20th, 23:08.
In the video, a woman and a man walked into Gao Meimei’s rented apartment.
Then, the lights in Gao Meimei’s rented room lit up, and a figure flickered.
23:36.
Five minutes after the male figure left.
At 23:4.1, another figure walked into the unit building.
His face couldn’t be seen clearly, but he could tell that he had long hair and was wearing a hat.
Because it was already late at night, no one entered or left the apartment building for a period of time.
At 0:32 on the 21st.
The lights in Gao Meimei’s room went out, and the long-haired figure wearing a hat appeared in the surveillance camera again.
Unlike when he first arrived, the figure seemed to be carrying a bag in his hand.
Gao Meimei never appeared again.
Ren Hongfeng paused the video and said excitedly,”” After that, it wasn’t until 6:30 in the morning, when the sky turned bright, that someone walked out of the unit.
“So, this long-haired figure wearing a hat is very likely the murderer!”
Everyone was excited.
A long-haired figure wearing a hat…
The murderer was a woman?
Although they could not see the other party’s face clearly, everyone felt that they were one step closer to the murderer.
Chen Yan was also a little excited. This was an important clue.”Captain Ren, arrange for someone to continue investigating the residents in Gao Meimei’s residential area and see if there are any video recordings.”
” In addition, track the suspect in the Heavenly Eye system according to the physical characteristics in the existing video!”
Why was everyone so excited?
It was because of the Heavenly Eye System.
It was difficult to find a woman with long hair and a hat in the middle of the night, but there was still hope.
Ren Hongfeng responded and immediately arranged for the members of the task force to implement it.
Chen Yan looked at the video again.” This person is only a big suspect at the moment. However, the man who returned to the house with Gao Meimei can’t be cleared of suspicion either.”
” Did you manage to extract DNA from the hair and dandruff collected from Gao Meimei’s bed?”
Ren Hongfeng shook his head.
Team Leader Chen, the autopsy results of Gao Meimei are out!”
As Ren Hongfeng spoke, the investigator in charge of following the autopsy and laboratory tests brought back the news.
” Also, we’ve extracted some hair and dander from Gao Meimei’s house. We’ve completed the DNA extraction and confirmed their identities!”
Chen Yan received a stack of reports and was a little surprised.
Although Gao Meimei’s rented apartment was cleaned regularly, the housekeepers couldn’t possibly be very meticulous.
Therefore, the men that Gao Meimei had dated in the past had left many traces behind.
Chen Yan had a total of 12 reports in his hands.
This meant that the Detective Unit had collected tissue samples from at least twelve people in Gao Meimei’s house.
Chen Yan was a little surprised after taking a glance.
These 12 people…It was really out of Chen Yan’s expectations.
Doctors, teachers, owners of private enterprises…
There were people from all walks of life, and they all had legitimate jobs.
This was also the reason why his colleagues in the investigation team were able to confirm his identity in a short period of time.
There were even workers here…And a corpse plastic surgeon?
Hehe, it could be said to be a variety of things.
“Summon all twelve of them and interrogate them one by one.”
As for Gao Meimei’s autopsy results, they were not much different from Tan Xiaowen’s.
Gao Meimei was the only exception.
Of course, from the video, this intimate behavior was voluntary by Gao Meimei. There was no possibility of violation.
“Team Leader Chen, the social media applications of the two victims have been checked!”
Oh?
“What was the result?”
The detective in charge of checking their social media software handed Chen Yan a stack of papers.” The first is Tan Xiaowen. From her social media, the people she interacted with a year ago were all WeChat merchants.”
” After that, most of the people she dated were fans of her live stream. In the past six months, Tan Xiaowen had sex with the top two fans of her live stream. II
“Gao Meimei’s social connections…It’s a little more complicated.”
” She has quite a number of groups. They’re all part-time, and there are more people who have sex with her…”
“More?” Ren Hongfeng frowned. He had already found twelve of them, so how many more could there be?”How many people are there?”
The investigator who reported the situation had a strange expression on his face. In the past six months, there have been a total of 97!”
97?
Half a year!
They had almost killed a hundred people.
Moreover, half a year and six months was equivalent to 16 people a month…
An average of two days per person!
Chen Yan was also a little surprised. This frequency was more than a hundred blind dates.
“Can you confirm the information of these 97 people?”
“It’s unlikely that all of them will be confirmed…” the investigator frowned.
” We’ve already checked. It’s someone else who introduced Gao Meimei to the client. Every time after they’re done, it’s that person who transfers the money to Gao Meimei.”
“However, the Drifter doesn’t have to pay by bank transfer. He can also pay in cash.”
“This way, it will be very difficult to find out the specific information of the people.”
Ren Hongfeng immediately understood what was going on.
There was a record of the transfer, and he could find it with a check.
However, paying directly in cash…
Chen Yan also scratched his head.
On his hundredth blind date, he arrested a blind date partner and participated in some follow-up investigations.
He knew more or less what was going on inside and knew that the detective was right.
Chen Yan flipped through the report in his hand. “”I still have to confirm as much information as possible about these people.”
This was especially true for people who used cash to make transactions.
Chen Yan had a hunch that the other party must have had contact with Gao Meimei.
However, Chen Yan did not say anything.
After all, the image in the surveillance video showed that the other party had long hair.
There was a high possibility that the murderer was a woman.
“By the way, have you found out the relationship between the two victims? Do they know each other?”
This was the focus of Chen Yan’s attention.
If they could find out the relationship between the two, they might be able to deduce the murderer’s motive.
However, the investigator in charge of this shook his head.”We didn’t find any contact between the two of them from their phone records.”
” We’ve even checked the live-stream rooms that Gao Meimei usually browses, but we didn’t find any news of her following Tan Xiaowen.”
“So, you mean they don’t know each other, and they didn’t have any interactions?” Chen Yan frowned.
The investigator shook his head.
This was very troublesome.
The two of them did not have any interactions, but they were actually killed by the murderer in the same way.
Why?
Could it be that the murderer had randomly chosen people to kill?
Impossible!
It was absolutely impossible.
Whether it was Tan Xiaowen or Gao Meimei.
The murderer did not leave any valuable clues behind, and his actions were very meticulous.
It couldn’t have been a last-minute killing.
For example, the surveillance video at Tan Xiaowen’s house.
For example, if he had committed a crime in the rental apartment where Gao Meimei provided services, how could he have known where Gao Meimei provided services if he had not followed her?
In the next few days, the task force spent their time in an intense and busy investigation.
However, just as everyone was still confused and there was no obvious progress in the various clues.
Bad news came!
