"In this weather, no matter where the body is placed, it will take a long time for it to rot and smell bad and be discovered."
Fang Zhenyue stood in front of the whiteboard, frowning and said:
"If it is thrown into the sea, it will most likely be washed in other directions... If the body cannot be found in time, it will be difficult to find the murderer and the victim's body with the clues that have been cut off now."
Hong Kong is so big, where can you find a place for a bartender to rent?
What if he pays for the house for half a year, and the landlord finds out that his tenant is dead half a year later...
Jiayi listened and was more worried than Brother Yue, because she was also worried that the murderer would escape abroad and never come back.
With one hand, she held various documents, reports and transcripts of the case, and with the other hand, she held her notebook, but she did not look at either side. Instead, she closed her eyes and fell into recollection and thinking.
The information that can be seen in the flow image is limited. At this time, you must think more deeply.
After extracting some information, Jiayi still felt that it was not enough, so she simply put away her notebook and ran to the forensic officer to look at the body.
Sir Xu threw a chocolate to Jiayi and asked his assistant to take her to see it, while he continued to do other work.
Jiayi held the mellow and sweet chocolate in her mouth and read the flow image repeatedly.
[Long hair, light makeup, black stockings, burgundy slim mid-length skirt, mid-heeled shoes...]
There was nothing special about her dress. It was hard to tell where she had been before, nor what her occupation was.
[There is a stamp on the murderer's wrist and the victim's wrist that was not chopped off. This should be the entrance mark of a nightclub.]
But now there is no suspect, and there is no body of the deceased. Except for Yi Jiayi who saw all this in the mind, other police officers can't get this information at all.
[There are many bloody footprints on the floor indoors, but they were rubbed off before she went out.]
[The murderer's small hairpin and a piece of candy fell on the floor indoors... There was a little blood on the murderer's bag, but it was carried away by the murderer]
[Fireworks are blooming outside the window]
If the location can be determined, the time when the murderer killed the victim can be judged based on the time when the fireworks were set off last night.
If we can find the area near the crime scene, we may also be able to find the specific crime scene floor or room based on the location of the fireworks.
[When the fireworks are set off outside the window, the area outside the window is illuminated. Some metal devices can be seen, as well as a large water tank that seems to be used to store water. Many old buildings have water storage barrels on the upper floors for convenient water use.]
There are many such water tanks on the rooftops of Kowloon Walled City.
But the murderer was very weak. She couldn't have brought the body from Kwai Chung South to Kowloon Walled City. When she took out the things in her bag, she didn't see the car keys. The murderer was probably driven home by the deceased, or brought here in other ways... The crime scene must be near the dumping site.
Jiayi kept observing and researching, constantly extracting information, and then screening the information.
After more than half an hour, she stood up and said goodbye to her colleagues in the Forensic Department, and ran away with her notebook.
Instead of returning to the B team office, she drove directly back to the body dumping site in Kwai Chung South.
The uniformed police still set up a cordon there, and this place will be kept for a few days in case the Forensic Department suddenly wants to do a re-investigation.
Jiayi walked around the area a few times, and then first locked onto Cuiyu Garden, which was closest to the body dumping site.
"Police investigating a case." Jiayi stood at the gate of the community and showed her ID to the security guard first, then asked: "Excuse me, was there anyone setting off fireworks in the community last night?"
Originally she thought that it would take at least some twists and turns to find clues, but she didn't know that the same security guard was guarding the gate here last night. He also stood outside the watchtower and watched people setting off fireworks last night, so he knew very well:
"It was probably around 11pm, in the open space in front of Building 5. It should be a few young men, because there was no prohibition on setting off fireworks, I didn't go to check."
"Thank you." Jiayi thanked him and turned to look in the direction indicated by the security guard, estimating that it was one of the four buildings in the circle around.
Liu Jiaming and his team had visited this community before. There are 4 entrances and exits. The property fee is relatively low, so only the main entrance has a guard. The other three small gates are not guarded.
Usually, the three small gates are locked at 23:00, but yesterday many people came back late, so the guard locked the three small gates at 3:00 in the morning.
In other words, it is actually difficult to find out who has entered or left the community before 3:00 in the morning.
Jiayi asked the guard a few more questions and strode towards the open space for fireworks.
Standing in the center area and looking up, I found that I couldn’t see the situation on the rooftop area, so I had to walk up.
The heights of the four buildings are different. The mind-flow image can see the rooftop devices of other buildings, which means that the lowest building should be excluded as the crime scene - because it cannot see the rooftops of any other buildings, it is too low.
Jiayi thought about it and ran to the tallest building. The property fee here is probably too low. Although there is a watchman's post on the first floor, there is no watchman hired at all, so Jiayi entered unimpeded. After taking the elevator to the highest floor, she turned to the stairwell and opened the window to the outside. Soon she found that there were water tanks and metal devices on the rooftops of the three highest buildings.
Now that she is closer, the metal device should be used to help residents collect TV signals.
Jiayi stared at the rooftop device of the three shorter buildings for a long time, constantly comparing it with the specific images in her memory, and soon determined that the third tallest building was the one she saw outside the window of the flow image. After
confirming this, Jiayi excitedly clapped her fists, compared the window according to the direction, and then quickly took the elevator downstairs.
After locking the window downstairs, Jiayi walked into the building where the crime scene was located, looked at the layout, and preliminarily determined the exact house number of the crime scene:
Unit A, 9th Floor, Building 4.
Because she was visiting as a police officer, and the police could not lock the specific location of the crime scene according to conventional methods, Jiayi did not dare to expose herself and had to leave first.
After returning to Yi Ji for dinner, Jia Yi went home. She sat in the study room for a long time, thinking about how to lead the detectives of Team B to that room.
As long as everyone finds the crime scene, they can find the body of the deceased. The body has not yet decayed, and the seal on the wrist is still very clear.
Based on the seal, they can find the nightclub that the deceased went to last night.
After asking at the nightclub, it is very likely that the murderer can be found by following the clues - perhaps the murderer is a nearby resident, or perhaps a regular customer of the nightclub. It is also possible that someone has an impression of the woman who was with the deceased, and can help the painter draw a portrait of the murderer.
But how to find it...
Just as they were struggling, Jiaru and Jiajun, two tired birds, finally returned from Yiji. Jiaru rushed into the study room as soon as she entered the house and announced the good news to her elder sister:
"Elder sister, the movie starring Doufuzai, the one based on you, "Psych", will be released tomorrow!"
"Doufuzai gave us movie tickets for tomorrow night! Let's go to the Mong Kok Cinema together!" Jiajun also rushed in, holding a stack of movie tickets in his hand. Doufuzai
has many friends in Yiji, and this time he gave him a stack of tickets.
"And wow, three days before the release of this movie, all police officers can get free tickets to watch "Psych" at the Xiang Group Cinema with their ID!" Jiaru pointed at the big words on the poster, "It's so cool to be a police officer! You can watch movies for free!"
"It seems to be a story about a female police officer who can see the ghosts of the dead and solve cases with the dead?" Jiayi suddenly remembered the movie synopsis.
"Yes, ghost movies sell well and are very exciting." Jiaru nodded and asked Yi Jiayi with a tilted head: "Big sister, let's go together tomorrow night?"
"If we can solve the case, of course, but the case is still underway, so I probably don't have time to go." Jiayi smiled and touched her sister's head, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, you can go first."
"Oh..." Jiaru sighed with a little regret.
Jiayi was sitting on the side and suddenly saw the poster that Jiaru had placed on the table.
There were several screenshots of highlights from the movie, one of which was a night watchman picking up the phone, but the person on the other end was a ghost...
Jiayi suddenly remembered what she had done before out of helplessness, and her pupils shrank.
We know the location of the murder, and we know where the body is, but no one has reported it, and the police's clues are not enough to find it... In this case, it's not completely impossible!
Thinking of this, Jiayi held her chin with one hand, and her brain began to work rapidly.
...
In the middle of the night, someone dressed in black, with a long white scarf in his pocket, sneaked back to Yiji.
Eleven in the backyard immediately barked vigilantly, and Jiayi hurried over to comfort the dog. After the two little ones were wagging their tails and calmed down, she ran to the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife.
After taking a chicken out of the cage, Jiayi used a knife to make a few holes in the chicken's neck, collected a plastic bag of chicken blood, and then threw the chicken on the ground. She also smeared two handfuls of chicken blood on Eleven's mouth, and then whispered:
"Sorry, Eleven, I need you to take the blame for me."
Then she turned around and saw Xiao Huang squatting behind her, wagging his tail crazily, with watery eyes as if saying: "Master, master! What are you doing? I want it too, I want it too, I want it too~ Woof~"
Jiayi nodded, "Good dog, we share the hardship, you and Eleven are good brothers and sisters, and we share the blame."
After saying that, she also smeared a handful of blood on Xiao Huang's mouth.
Xiao Huang immediately circled around her happily. Jiayi thought it was funny, patted its head, locked the door, and left with the chicken blood.
She was afraid of being seen, so she rode a bicycle for a long distance to Kwai Chung South.
After finally arriving at Jade Garden, she hid her bicycle in the bushes behind a tree, then carried the chicken blood from the back door of the community, stepped on bricks and stones, and jumped over the wall to enter the community. After
that, she shuttled through the shadows and quickly flashed into the 4 buildings, wrapped a white scarf around her, put on a wig, and covered her face tightly, leaving only her eyes under her bangs and on the scarf.
After the elevator reached the 9th floor, Jiayi carefully checked it out. The shabby iron door of Unit A in front of her and the red floor mat that was dirty like bricks under her feet overlapped with the picture in the flow image. Jiayi
finally breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't find the wrong one!
Turning her head to look at the neighbors across the street, Jiayi quietly put on disposable rubber gloves, stained them with chicken blood, and drew a few thick fingerprints on the iron gate and the white wall next to it, and then sprinkled the chicken blood on the ground.
Then she used the bloody gloves to press the elevator button, pressing both the up button and the down button. After entering the elevator, the bloody handprints touched the elevator several times, and the chicken blood was sprinkled all the way into the elevator compartment before going down to the first floor.
In order to ensure that no one saw it, she also sprinkled a few drops of chicken blood on the tiles outside the elevator compartment, and turned around to ensure that all residents who went out tomorrow would see the bloody fingers and blood drops in the elevator compartment. Only then did she feel relieved and left with an empty plastic bag.
The woman in black blends into the shadows of the night, with a white scarf around her neck. As she walks quickly, the fluttering scarf flutters in the wind.
…
…
In the middle of the night, Zhu Failei, a male resident on the 12th floor of Building 5 of Cuiyuyuan, turns off the light, stands behind the window, holds up a telescope in the dark, and habitually peeks at the woman in the opposite building who is returning late from the night shift.
It's just a pity that the other party didn't turn on the light to change clothes in the living room tonight, but went directly into the bathroom in work clothes.
Putting away the binoculars in frustration, Zhu Falei pouted and sighed, leaning over the window and looking around regretfully, thinking that he would wait until the pretty girl opposite came out of the shower and then continue to peek at her, maybe there would be some spring scenery to see... Just as
he was thinking, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a white shadow floating in the shadows downstairs. He suddenly widened his eyes, grabbed the window frame with both hands, and hid behind the curtain in shock, but his eyes were still staring at the white.
The white shadow twisted and swayed like a ghost, flashed on the side of Building 4, and suddenly disappeared into thin air. A layer of hair suddenly stood up on his back, and cold sweat broke out. With the corner of his eye,
Zhubiaolei suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow in the room. He was so scared that he fell to the ground with a thud, screamed instinctively, and almost peed himself. He leaned against the wall, hugged the curtain, and took a closer look, only to find that it was the white cloth covering the TV. His heart was still beating very fast. He was no longer in the mood to peek at any pretty girls. He quickly turned on the light, and then he looked outside several times, but he didn't see the white shadow again. He kept the lights on all night out of suspicion, and he felt that he didn't sleep well. On the first morning, when Zhubiaolei went downstairs listlessly, he found that there were many people crowded inside and outside the four buildings, making a lot of noise, and no one knew what was going on. It was not until I got closer that I heard the neighbors discussing heatedly: "It's all blood... bloody handprints, blood spots! So scary..." "Have you called the police?" "Did someone get murdered? Or what?" "How could someone kill someone and leave blood all over the place? There's no body, and the blood just disappeared here! Wounds don't heal suddenly, what do you think is going on?" "A ghost?"
"Of course! Think about it... the ghost ran here, and suddenly ran into the sunlight shining in from outside the building, and then was killed by the sun and disappeared!"
"Wow... That's terrible, it's not the Yulan Festival, how can the ghost gate open?"
Hearing these words, Zhu Failei's face, which was not good to begin with, turned pale.
He rushed into the crowd screaming, and shouted nervously:
"I saw it last night! A white ghost was circling around the four buildings, so scary... I saw it with my own eyes! I swear to heaven! If I lie, I will give me sores on my head, pus on my feet, and I will die a miserable death..."
