The capital’s police Department had a dedicated video analysis room with the most advanced related equipment and professional technical staff.
At that moment, Zeng ke was discussing something with the leader of the video team. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu suddenly rushed in from outside.
“Quick …” Zhao Yu urged,”show me the video of the first victim, Wei Qiqi. I want the clearest version!”
“Oh?” Zeng ke was stunned, not understanding why Zhao Yu was so excited.
“Yes!” The technical team leader of the video team didn’t dare to delay, so he quickly sat in front of the best computer and found the video that Zhao Yu wanted.
“Right here, stop!” Just as the video started playing, Zhao Yu immediately ordered the video to stop. He then pointed at the rope around Wei Qiqi’s body and ordered,”Zoom in here!”
The technician carried out the operation according to the order.
“Look!” Zhao Yu pointed at the rope that was used to tie Wei Qiqi up and said,”isn’t the way she was tied up different from the other victims?
“Look, only two ropes were wrapped around the victim’s arm, but there was an irregular backhand knot on the wrist! It’s a dead knot, do you see it?”
“Oh?” Zeng ke frowned.”Yes, I saw it. I noticed it when I analyzed the video earlier, but … Is there a problem?”
“Damn, it wasn’t written in the report, or did I not see it?” Zhao Yu’s eyes were wide open.
“Hmm …” Zeng ke answered with uncertainty.”I think he did?” However, because it’s not too important, I just brushed it off!”
“What do you mean by not important?” Zhao Yu pointed at the video and said,”I’ve seen it just now. Other than Wei Qiqi, the other victims were not tied like this. There were at least four ropes around their arms, and they were not tied with reverse knots, but beautifully tied knots!
“But Wei Qiqi’s knot is a little messy …”
“This …” Zeng ke frowned as he explained,”does this mean that when the murderer tied Wei Qiqi up, he found that the binding was not very strong, so he made some improvements to it?”
“Alright then,” Zhao Yu said,”how do you think the murderer found out that Wei Qiqi’s rope wasn’t strong enough?”
“Well …” Zeng ke thought hard, and his eyes suddenly lit up.”You mean … Wei Qiqi once broke free?”
“Now, do you know how important this detail is?” Zhao Yu then pointed at Wei Qiqi’s head in the video and said,”look again … At Wei Qiqi’s collar, isn’t there a small opening?”
After Zhao Yu said that, the technical staff quickly zoomed in on the corresponding location. Everyone could see that there was indeed a hardly noticeable tear on Wei Qiqi’s collar.
“Her collars are asymmetrical on both sides, and there’s a small tear on the left side. From the overall look of her clothes, it’s wrinkled …” Zhao Yu said excitedly.”What does this mean? It meant that she had been torn apart …
“And …” Zhao Yu pointed at Wei Qiqi’s hair and said,”look at her hair, there’s a dent here. Doesn’t it look a little messy?”
“Well …” Zeng ke scratched his head and explained,”we also noticed it at first, but we think that after Wei Qiqi was kidnapped, she might have been moved by the murderer, so …”
“Yes, sir,” the technician suddenly said.”Officer Zeng is right. From the video, we can see that the victim has been anesthetized.”
“Since the victim was under anesthesia, the murderer must have found a way to move the victim to the location where the video was shot!
“When it was moving, it would naturally cause the victim’s clothes to be pulled, or their hair to be messy! Well … Especially long-haired girls …”
“Yes, team leader!” Zeng ke explained,”look at the victims behind. Zhang He was wearing traditional clothes, and the two butterfly buttons at the top were also open …”
“And Wu aoshan, one of her hairpins fell off, and her long hair is covering her face …”
After hearing the explanation from the technician and Zeng ke, Zhao Yu smacked his lips helplessly. It seemed that his new discovery didn’t have much meaning.
Originally, he had imagined that after Wei Qiqi was kidnapped by Yun Duo’ er, perhaps because the rope was tied too tightly, she had a fight with Yun Duoer.
In that case, if they could find Wei Qiqi’s corpse, they might be able to extract Yun Duo’ er’s identity information from her bones. From there, they could convict her and play a decisive role.
But …
“Eh?” At this moment, the technician who was watching the video suddenly noticed something else in the video. He quickly pointed at the video and said,”look, why is the victim’s hair darker here than the other parts?”
Zhao Yu and Zeng ke quickly checked and indeed saw that the area where Wei Qiqi’s hair was deflated was a little special.
“Are you wet?” “That’s why a part of it has collapsed,” Zeng ke guessed.”So it’s darker?”
“It’s wet. Where did the water come from?” Zhao Yu asked.
“Could it be …” The technician enlarged the video and said in surprise,”it’s blood!?” Wei Qiqi’s head is broken?”
“Waa!” Zhao Yu and Zeng ke were shocked. Zeng ke quickly said,”Wei Qiqi was leaning back. If her head was broken, blood would flow to the back of her head, so you can’t see it from the front …”
“If it’s blood,” Zhao Yu’s hope was reignited,”could it be that when you were fighting with Yun Duo’ er, you were beaten up by the cloud People?
“Although Yun Duo’ er is a woman, she is still a martial artist!”
“Aiya,” the technician exclaimed again and said excitedly,”if it wasn’t for detective Zhao’s reminder, we wouldn’t have noticed it before!”
“Quick, look …” He fast-forwarded the video, then pointed at Wei Qiqi’s lips and said,”there’s a small bruise on the left side of Wei Qiqi’s cheek. The bridge of his nose also seemed to have caved in. Is your chin deformed as well?”
“Eh? “I’ve watched it so many times, but I’ve never noticed it,” Zeng ke said.
“Maybe it’s the inertia of our thinking that’s affecting us!” The technician explained,”in our subjective consciousness, we’ve already determined that Wei Qiqi is going to be the next victim. Therefore, we thought that all her injuries were normal and that she was tortured by the murderer!”
“But …” Zhao Yu was also shocked.”At that time, the murderer had just started recording the murder video, and hadn’t even made a move yet!”
“Then … Where did the wound on Wei Qiqi’s face come from?” Zeng ke also realized the importance of the question.”The other victims don’t seem to be like this, right?”
The technician quickly opened the videos of the other victims and found no similar situations. The other victims were all intact before they were killed, with no injuries on their faces.
“Needless to say,” Zhao Yu said,”the injuries on Wei Qiqi’s face and head were probably caused by Yun Duo’ er! Perhaps, Wei Qiqi was really Yun Duo’ er’s first target.
“It’s possible. Due to her lack of experience, Yun Duo’ er didn’t use enough medicine to knock Wei Qiqi out, causing her to wake up early.
“It’s also possible that not only did Wei Qiqi wake up earlier, but she also managed to break free from the rope …
“The two of them started fighting, but in the end, Yun Duo’ er, who had learned martial arts, gained the upper hand. In the end, she used her martial arts to subdue Wei Qiqi. That’s why we saw that Wei Qiqi’s rope was tied up in a rather messy manner …”
“Wow …” Zeng ke’s eyes widened in excitement.”If that’s the case!” In that case, there’s a high chance that we can find Yun Duo’ er’s identity information on Wei Qiqi’s skeleton!
“No wonder Yun Duo’ er looked so worried when she heard that a body had been found!” Zeng ke said, rubbing his hands.
“Right!” Zhao Yu slammed the table and said fiercely,”the most important thing now is that we must find Wei Qiqi’s body!!!”
