Chapter 299 The Person Behind the Apprentice (2)

Since no pattern has been found in other aspects, could it be that the murderer logged into this system and locked on the target?

Following this assumption, apart from the company's personnel and managers who have already been investigated, who else can freely access this system without being noticed by the police?

…

You Mingxu immediately asked his information technology colleagues to check who made these two office systems. Now, my colleagues have responded:

It was done by the same software technology outsourcing company! It is impossible for a bathing city like this to maintain a technically mature information department, so the computer systems are outsourced. However, this kind of outsourcing company has a high staff turnover. But You Mingxu's colleague was also a ruthless character. After a large-scale sweep and elimination and following the clues, he found out that there was an employee who resigned from the outsourcing company three months ago, but had been in charge of the system construction work for two bath cities.

In addition, colleagues also found out that the employee had been frequently logging into the bath city’s system from an external IP address recently, and was still logging in last night!

You Mingxu could only hear her heart pounding. She slowly let out a breath and said, "Is his IP address..." She reported a string of numbers.

Colleague: "Huh? How did you know that?"

There was no time to explain too much. You Mingxu said, "Send this employee's photo and information to my phone right away. Also, can you see his browsing history yesterday? Which female masseuse's information was he looking at?"

Colleague: "Fuck, Sister You, you even know this! He browsed through the files of two female employees repeatedly last night, and finally downloaded all the files and photos of one of them. I will send this to you right away, along with the information he registered with the outsourcing company!"

The next target is that female employee!

In order to share the information instantly, You Mingxu turned on the speakerphone. After hanging up the phone, he saw Yin Feng and Xu Mengshan looking at him. They understood what he said.

You Mingxu smiled, glanced at the various criminal tools and items around him, and said to Yin Feng: "It seems that you got it wrong before. I am the one who arrested the person. I hope you can work hard to find evidence for me."

Yin Feng looked at her slightly raised phoenix eyes, the clear light in them, and his heart was moved. He found that he just liked the majestic and unstoppable look of You Mingxu - he even acted arrogantly in front of him. In the past, he hated it most when women wanted to get ahead of him.

But now... let her crawl.

Yin Feng smiled slightly: "Madam is wise."

You Mingxu snorted and laughed. Xu Mengshan was convinced of Sister You's status in the family and secretly admired her. At this time, the information colleague sent the information to You Mingxu.

She picked up the phone and was stunned.

The first thing you see is the name and photo of the outsourced technician who frequently logs into the system. That is their fresh suspect.

Ming Tao.

The photo should be his employment photo at the outsourcing company, 1 inch with a blue background. Mingtao in the photo looks a little different from what he was more than a year ago. She was still fair and pretty, but the bangs that always blocked her eyes were cut off, revealing a pair of slightly deep eyes. But the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised, with a bit of unruly and arrogant.

You Mingxu raised his head and met Yin Feng's gloomy eyes. They were both a little frightened, but it was both unexpected and reasonable.

When in Tibet, scenes related to Mingtao suddenly flooded into You Mingxu's mind. The boy who claimed to have just graduated from college matched the description in terms of height, age and body shape. No wonder she felt that the back figure looked familiar when she was watching the surveillance video.

Mingtao's bangs always cover his eyes. When he looks up and smiles at them, you can never see the light in his eyes. When he met him for the first time, he laughed and said: Interesting, interesting, maybe the serial killer is among us?

His interest in criminology, his fascination with serial killers. On that night of confrontation, he pointed the finger at this person and then said that person was the killer. Was he just being unreasonable or doing it on purpose?

You Mingxu became more and more frightened the more she thought about it. She recalled another scene. She and Gu Tiancheng were sitting by the tent and talking. But in the wind, she could vaguely hear that person's cold voice: "Hypocritical and meaningless. No wonder he likes to kill people."

Gu Tiancheng also heard it, but acted as if he didn't hear it.

At that time, You Mingxu thought that the "he" Mingtao was referring to was the unidentified highway serial killer, Gu Tiancheng.

But what if it’s not?

What if it was another serial killer that Mingtao had been thinking about and feeling deeply regretful about since he was a child?

…

You Mingxu calmed himself down. No matter what Mingtao had experienced in the past year, or whether he had concealed anything in Tibet, or even whether his appearance had some hidden story behind it. Now, he is the prime suspect in this case, and he has set his sights on a new target. He may sense the police's intention to escape at any time, so they have to catch him immediately!

Get ahead of any possible punisher!

Yin Feng seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance. He glanced at the dark night outside and said, "Now is the time for the bathing city to get off work, and it is also his activity time. I think he should be doing the tracking and investigation work meticulously, full of new excitement and passion, and may not immediately notice the movement here. Let's go and stop him immediately!"

——

Indeed, it was already 2 a.m.

You Mingxu immediately made arrangements:

On the one hand, they contacted the bathing city and confirmed that the third target, a girl named Jiang Mei, had left work 10 minutes ago. At the same time, she learned from a colleague who was on good terms with her the specific route Jiang Mei took to get home - this was the fastest way.

On the other hand, through mobile phone signal positioning, it was determined that Jiang Mei was on a night bus. After confirming that she was safe, the police did not plan to contact her immediately to prevent her from revealing her true identity and alerting Mingtao, who would then notice her and put her in danger.

Mingtao, could he also be on that bus?

Police forces along the bus route have been quickly mobilized.

20 minutes later.

You Mingxu and Yin Feng hid behind a roadside flowerbed, while other policemen also lay in ambush temporarily. The bus will arrive at this stop in 2 minutes, which is also where Jiang Mei will get off.

You Mingxu held her breath and concentrated, while Yin Feng, who was standing behind her, was also silent. You Mingxu habitually warned: "Don't come out later. He may have a weapon in his hand. Let's catch him first."

"Yes." Yin Feng said, "I will listen to Ash."

You Mingxu couldn't help but laugh.

Then You Mingxu felt his chest almost touching her back, and his breath beside her ears. She turned her head and saw him gazing into the distance, seemingly in a trance.

He also retracted his gaze and looked at her: "Be careful."

"Um."

There seemed to be no need for too many words between the two of them. Even though she was the one who had to rush ahead, the feeling of being so close as if they were one person was still so strong.
