Chapter 2571  : The painting (2)

“Miao Ying hadn’t had a good night’s rest. Last night, she finally returned to the hotel and had a good night’s sleep.”

“Therefore, when she returned to the Special Investigation Group’s office this morning, she felt particularly energetic.”

“As usual, the team members gathered together and had a brief analysis meeting.”

“At the meeting, everyone reported the progress of the investigation they were responsible for.”

The first one to report was Ran Tao. He was mainly responsible for the peripheral investigation and looking for traces of the suspect.

“””It’s really strange,”” Ran Tao said.””More than 20 of us spent the whole night checking all the surveillance cameras near Bao Yicheng’s house, but we couldn’t find a suspicious car!”””

“””To say something weird, Zhang Qile seemed to have disappeared into thin air …”””

“””No way? Brother Tao …””Cui Lizhu didn’t believe him. Is there a blind spot?”””

“””There are blind spots, but the surveillance cameras there are connected to a network. If someone was following Zhang Qile, there’s no way they wouldn’t be able to find him!”” Ran Tao said,””it only took Zhang Qile about ten minutes to leave Bao Yicheng’s house and disappear into the blind spot of the surveillance cameras. If there was really a car that kidnapped him, we should be able to find out, right?”””

“””Is that so?”” “”After Zhang Qile entered the blind spot, how many cars passed by his location?”” Miao Ying asked.”

“””There were more than 20 of them in total, and we checked them one by one,”” Ran Tao said.””Their driving speed was normal, which proves that they did not stop in the blind spot, and no vehicles appeared in the blind spot …”””

“””Oh, really? “”Could it be that …”” Miao Ying pondered.””Zhang Qile contacted someone?”””

“””According to the call records,”” Zeng ke said,””she did not call anyone that night, nor did she contact anyone on the internet …”””

“””Kidnapping, very fast!”” Cui Lizhu said,””it’s like that on TV. When the door is opened, the person is dragged into the car, then he wipes ether on his mouth, and the person fainted!”””

“””Cui, I agree with your suspicion, but last night, I discussed it with the technical team,”” Ran Tao said.””If it is what you said, then think about it, the murderer must have an accomplice, right?”” he asked.”

“””The murderer couldn’t have driven and kidnapped the people by himself. That would’ve taken up a lot of time, and we would’ve found him …”””

“””Oh …”” Cui Lizhu’s eyes widened.””Then, let’s assume that he had an accomplice?”””

“Ran Tao explained,””you see, cui … For example, I am the murderer who wanted to kidnap Zhang Qile. So, how could I know that Zhang Qile would come out of Bao Yicheng’s house?”””

“””Do I … Have to wait for him somewhere outside Bao Yicheng’s house?”

“Ran Tao said,””in that case, we can also find out from the surveillance cameras!”” But … There’s no such car … The surveillance footage doesn’t show any of it …”””

“””This is strange!”” Cui Lizhu frowned.””Could it be that Zhang Qile flew away?”””

“””No, I think that even so, it can still be explained!”” At this time, Zeng ke suddenly expressed his opinion, saying,””the first possibility is that the suspect’s car was waiting in the blind spot of the surveillance camera. When he saw Zhang Qile, he committed the kidnapping!”

“””But, after the kidnapping, he didn’t drive the car away. Instead, he parked it in the blind spot and didn’t move …”””

“””It didn’t leave the blind spot until the next morning, or at some other time …”””

“””Eh?”” Cui Lizhu’s eyes widened again.””Zeng ke, you’re good! When did you open your apertures?”””

“””In that case,”” Miao Ying said,””we might be able to see it from the other cars ‘dashcam! Or … Extend the time to check the surveillance cameras …”””

“””No, no, no, no…”” Ran Tao shook his head and said,””you see, what Zeng ke said does make sense, but … It’s not the same when it comes to implementation!”””

“””Who knows if Zhang Qile will come out of Bao Yicheng’s house? Could it be that that person had been waiting there every day? What if they didn’t have any conflicts? Or, he came out during the day, so he can’t wait for his whole life, right?”””

“””Yeah …”” Cui Lizhu scratched her head.””The murderer is a very persistent person?”””

“””What kind of willpower is that!”” Ran Tao said,””Zhang Qile changes several times a week. He can’t always be at Bao Yicheng’s house, right?”””

“””Tsk tsk …”” Cui Lizhu agreed.””You’re right!”””

“””Then …”” Zeng ke pondered for a moment, then said,””there is only one possibility. The murderer planted a tracking device or a listening device on Zhang Qile, so he could know her whereabouts, so …”””

“Ran Tao shook his head and said,””even with all of these, the murderer still couldn’t have predicted that Zhang Qile would come out of Bao Yicheng’s house.”””

“””Tao is right,”” Miao Ying said.””Regarding Zhang Qile’s kidnapping, I’ve always had a question. If I were the murderer, I would have chosen a safer place to take action. Even if I were to kidnap Zhang Qile from a gallery, it would be better than being exposed on the streets!”

“””Because that way, the police will have a high chance of finding his means of transportation!”””

“””Tsk tsk …”” Cui Lizhu shook her head and said,””then there’s no way to think about this!”” There were more than 20 cars in total, right? Then let’s check them all?”

“””And … Tao, let me remind you,”” cui Lizhu added.””Send someone to see if there are any sewers in the blind spot. What if the murderer kidnapped Zhang Qile through the sewers and escaped the surveillance cameras?”””

“””Well … You’re really something, Lil cui!”” Ran Tao said with a bitter expression.”

“””Zeng ke,”” Miao Ying asked,””how’s the investigation on the painting going?”””

“””Oh …”” Zeng ke said in a hurry.””We first asked Zhang Qile’s classmates, and they said that they had never seen Zhang Qile draw that red bathtub!”””

“””So, that painting was probably drawn after she graduated.”

“””After that, we asked a lot of people, but they didn’t know much about the painting. However, some people had heard that after Zhang Qile graduated, someone had purchased some of her paintings. Perhaps the red bathtub was also included in these paintings!”

“””We found an insider, but we couldn’t get in touch with him. So, I plan to send someone to visit him today!”

“””Perhaps he knows who these paintings were sold to!”””

“””Oh? Is it the male ‘him’ or the female ‘her’?”” “”What does this insider do?”” Miao Ying asked.”

“””I think he was Zhang Qile’s first boyfriend,”” Zeng ke said.””He’s now a P.E. Teacher at No. 15 high school. After Zhang Qile graduated, he also took over as a guest at No. 15 high school and taught art …”

“””So, he might know about the painting?”””

“””Oh …”” Miao Ying pondered for a moment, then asked,””why can’t I contact him? Did you change your phone?”””

“””I’m not sure about that,”” Zeng ke said.””Maybe he doesn’t want to answer calls he doesn’t know? However, I’ve verified his information. He’ll definitely go to work today, because No. 15 high school is holding a sports meet. He’ll definitely be there …”””

“””Alright then!”” Miao Ying said,””in that case, I’ll go myself!”””
