Chapter 298 The Person Behind the Apprentice (1)

It was already very dark, approaching midnight.

You Mingxu and others were a little surprised when they arrived at the location pointed to by the IP address. Because this is a seemingly ordinary residential area with complete security and a quiet atmosphere.

They thought they would find an isolated house in the mountains, an abandoned warehouse, or something like that.

It can be seen that there is a reason why great people hide in the city.

Everyone took the elevator upstairs and arrived at the door of the target resident.

Because there was no evidence, no one drew their guns. Xu Mengshan walked forward, looked around and saw that there was no doorbell installed, so he knocked on the door a few times.

No one responded.

So is it that there is no one, or that there shouldn’t be any?

The case was serious, and Yin Feng had said "100% certain". You Mingxu also felt that this man was very suspicious. He immediately looked at Yin Feng and gave him a look.

Yin Feng smiled, took out a round metal box half the size of his palm from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a small roll of wire, as well as iron sheets, master keys, tape and other things.

Except for You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan, the other detectives stared blankly at Yin Feng squatting down to unlock the door. They had no way of connecting him with the teacher Yin who had led them in reasoning in the office before.

After a while, the lock opened.

Since they had already broken into an empty door, You Mingxu planned to just fool around and lead his men in. This turned out to be an undecorated house with bare walls. There was an electric wire running over their heads and a few light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.

Xu Mengshan turned on the light switch on the wall, and the room became bright.

However, when everyone saw everything in the living room, they were shocked!

There are still bare walls and concrete floors, without any decoration or furniture. The wall facing them was covered with photos. At a quick glance, one could tell that the photos belonged to two women.

One is Luo Ting and the other is Zhou Dan.

Judging from the angle, all the photos were taken secretly and candidly. There are them walking on the road, eating in the restaurant, walking out of the bath city, and walking downstairs of their homes...

A chill surged in You Mingxu's heart.

Next to the photo wall, there is a blackboard with many route maps drawn on it, marking the time and place.

Yin Feng was still beside her and said, "Look, his work is so standard that it can be used as a template."

You Mingxu didn't know what kind of mood Yin Feng was in when he said this. Her face became colder and colder, and she continued to inspect the situation in the house.

There were curtains hanging on the windows, completely black and thick, and at this moment they were drawn tightly, making it airtight and completely blocking out any view from outside.

In the middle of the room, under the light bulb, there is a small square table. At this time, a light bulb was hanging from the wire, and the light was on, illuminating a small area around the desk. Somehow, it looked a bit creepy.

There was a water cup on the square table, as well as an external keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad, but no computer. The network cable socket was thrown on the table. The computer was taken away.

This should be the location of that IP.

You Mingxu looked up again and saw some things piled on the ground - a luggage bag. Xu Mengshan opened it and said, "It's some clothes." There was also a large black plastic bag next to it. Xu Mengshan squatted down and opened it, but was stunned. He immediately called You Mingxu over.

It turned out that there was a bundle of ropes inside, with a little blood stain on the ropes. There are also bundles of unused masks, head covers, foot covers, gloves...

"That's him!" Xu Mengshan shouted excitedly, "It's a done deal!"

The other detectives were also very excited. They didn't expect that with just a few words of analysis from Yin Feng, they could find the murderer's lair. Although they had no evidence before, now the room is full of evidence.

You Mingxu also smiled and immediately called Ding Xiongwei to report and request support from the forensic team and police.

After hanging up the phone, You Mingxu saw Xu Mengshan's solemn expression: "Sister You, there is something else here." In the corner behind the bag containing the rope gloves.

You Mingxu and Yin Feng walked over and took a look, both of them were stunned.

There are five exquisite glass bottles against the wall. Two of them had something inside, and there were small photos of the deceased taped to the bottles. Three are empty.

You Mingxu suddenly felt like vomiting, feeling indescribably nauseous, uncomfortable and angry. She turned her head away and stopped looking. Yin Feng also stared at the bottles, his expression calm: "He really prepared beautiful glass bottles..." Noticing something strange about You Mingxu, he pressed her head against his chest and said, "Ah Xu, forget about this." Then he glared at Xu Mengshan.

Xu Mengshan also felt uncomfortable when he saw this, but when Yin Feng glared at him, he felt wronged. This was important evidence, and Sister You could not have failed to see it. Isn't this what a detective's life is like? They have seen too many scenes that they don't want to see, but they still have to continue watching.

You Mingxu broke free from Yin Feng's hand and said, "I'm fine."

Xu Mengshan thought for a moment and said, "Now that the evidence is irrefutable and the man hasn't come back yet, should we..." A gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Just sit here and wait for him to come?"

You Mingxu thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the corner of the ceiling. Xu Mengshan and Yin Feng also looked up.

A surveillance camera was installed in the corner of the wall, facing the door of the living room. Then the other party might have noticed it the first second they stepped into the house.

You Mingxu said: "I'm afraid we have alerted the enemy. Once he sees the surveillance video, he won't come back. We must verify his identity as soon as possible and take the initiative to arrest him!"

The expressions of the three of them became solemn. It is not difficult to verify the identity of the murderer. This is his lair, and it can be confirmed after fingerprints and DNA are extracted. But it takes time. If the murderer has been alarmed and wants to escape, it will probably be a lot more trouble.

However, now we have achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Just then, You Mingxu's cell phone rang. She looked at it and was delighted - it was the information technology personnel she had asked before calling.

Thinking back then, Yin Feng invited her for a massage but was unsuccessful and had not received a favorable response from her. But one of Yin Feng's words touched You Mingxu——

"See what the process is like from the first day they join the company and who they will come into contact with."

You Mingxu suddenly realized that the company's personnel office system would store all employees' basic information, photos, addresses, and even quarterly assessment and evaluation results.

If the murderer could access this system, wouldn't he be able to accurately select a target that meets his requirements without having to risk direct contact with the victim?

However, You Mingxu questioned all the employees in the two bath cities, including those who had access to this system, and no one was suspected. This is also the reason why she had not thought of investigating from this angle before.

Yin Feng's words reminded her of a sentence: After eliminating all impossible answers, the remaining result, even if it is incredible, is the answer to the question.
