The second photo that Zheng Yuanqiao showed to Shen Ting was clearly an open book.
In the center of the page, there is a peculiar symbol.
An 8 is enclosed in a circle.
The top and bottom ends of the 8 are attached to the circle.
The entire symbol was drawn with blood.
Judging from the thickness of the lines, the tool used to draw them was probably a finger.
Shen Ting looked at the symbol and frowned slightly:
"Did Xiong Beibei draw this in this book?"
"That's right!"
Zheng Yuanqiao nodded: "When the police officers were inspecting the car, they found the book under the passenger seat where Xiong Beibei was sitting."
After looking through it, I found this symbol.
The bloodstains on the symbols were still wet, indicating they had been drawn recently.
"This must be a clue that Xiong Beibei deliberately left for us after her car accident."
"The symbol left by Xiong Beibei must be a very important clue."
It must have some special meaning.
Shen Ting pondered silently:
"This symbol either comes from the suspect or is information that we and Xiong Beibei both know."
This information may be related to this disappearance case.
There are two simplest interpretations of this symbol.
One natural one is the number eight. Xiong Beibei may be reminding us to pay attention to things related to the number eight.
Alternatively, this symbol can also be viewed horizontally.
The 8 in the circle then becomes the infinity symbol in mathematics.
This seems a bit abstract and not easy to explain.
Xu Xinyi, who was standing next to him, suddenly brightened up:
"If it's the number eight, could it refer to the eighth case?"
Shen Ting, the eighth case we solved is the Wanfoshan corpse case.
The case itself should be fine; the problem lies with the person involved, Zhang Qianqian.
What's special about Zhang Qianqian is that she recently met Gao Ya.
Could it be that Xiong Beibei met Gao Ya after the car accident?
Or is he also reminding you that the danger Gao Ya spoke of before disappearing again has already materialized?
Perhaps he noticed characteristics of the spy on the five people who appeared after the car accident, leading to his speculation?
Shen Ting nodded: "That's possible!"
However, this reminder seems a bit too subtle, which isn't like Xiong Beibei's style.
Xiong Beibei is naturally straightforward, and the emergency situation after the car accident restricted his movement. He may have also been injured and his mind may not be clear.
In this situation, if he had discovered some clues and wanted to remind Shen Ting, he probably wouldn't have gone through so many roundabout ways.
"This symbol may have a more direct meaning."
If the number eight points to the eighth case, it's not necessarily wrong.
But this is most likely a secondary meaning, not the main point Xiong Beibei wanted to remind us of.
Xu Xin nodded.
"Xiong Beibei's mind is definitely not capable of thinking that complicatedly."
So what exactly does this symbol mean?
besides!
What exactly does the suspect want to do?
They left that note, clearly to provoke you.
Taking Xiong Beibei and Sun Lixiang away is a way of issuing a challenge to you, isn't it?
They want to see if you can find Xiong Beibei and the others.
Or is it possible to catch the suspect?
"What does the suspect want to do now?"
It's hard to say, there are too few clues.
Shen Ting pondered for a moment and said:
"The next steps of the investigation, such as checking surrounding surveillance footage and conducting interviews, are straightforward and not difficult."
There are two crucial clues now.
One was a note left by the suspect in Zhang Jiwei's shirt pocket.
One of them is the symbol left by Xiong Beibei.
For the former, have an appraiser examine the paper, ink, and printer model to see if there are any unusual features.
As for that special symbol, perhaps we can check the case database to see if that symbol has appeared in past cases.
Especially cases involving voyeurs.
Xu Xin nodded: "Okay, I'll have the officers in the task force investigate."
As the two were talking, Shen Ting's phone suddenly rang.
Shen Ting took out his phone and saw that the caller ID showed it was a staff member from the investigation department.
Shen Ting answered the call immediately.
"Hello, Team Leader Shen, this is the Investigation Department."
I have an urgent matter to tell you.
On your end, wasn't it confirmed that Officer Xiong Beibei was attacked and kidnapped?
We have just confirmed that the attacks on Officer Xiong and Officer Sun are not isolated incidents.
Five people are still missing in the Dajing area yesterday and today.
Similar to Officer Xiong's disappearance.
Shen Ting hesitated: "What evidence is there to conclude that the cases are similar?"
Is this sufficient for consolidating the cases for investigation?
Yes, yes!
Didn't you find a note in the pocket of the deceased Zhang Jiwei's shirt?
At the crime scenes of the other five missing persons cases, officers also found similar notes.
The content of the note is different from the note you found.
But the formatting is exactly the same!
"They found a note too?"
Shen Ting looked shocked:
"Could you send me a picture of the note?"
"no problem!"
Soon, Shen Ting received photos of several notes on his phone.
The style of the note was exactly the same as the note found on Zhang Jiwei.
The contents of the note are as follows:
"Team Leader Shen, I heard you're really good at solving cases!"
ˉ?ˉ”
"Let's play a game!"
Have you ever played hide-and-seek?
I'll hide these people, and you can come and find them, okay?
ˉ?ˉ”
"You're so capable, you'll definitely be able to find them, right?"
ˉ?ˉ”
