Chapter 1549: Is it really him?
Translator: 549690339
At Sixo’ clock that afternoon, as the team members had found new evidence, Zhao Yu and the others gathered in front of the whiteboard for a new round of case analysis.
In order to have more ideas, they also opened a video call on the spot and let Miao Ying and Zhang Peipei, the forensic doctor, who were far away in Guangzhou, join in.
“Now,” Zhao Yu pointed to a picture on the whiteboard and said,”we can be sure that this bag belongs to Kang Ziqing!
“So, the items in the bag are likely to be his, including the murder tape!
“This means that we’re back to the starting point of the case.” Zhao Yu put his finger on Kang Ziqing’s photo.”Is this person the real murderer?”
“My subconscious is the same as yours,” Miao Ying said from the other end of the video.”I’m also inclined to believe that Kang Ziqing’s personality doesn’t match the murderer ‘s!
“However, what we need to do now is to speak the truth.
“After getting the news, I personally went to the advertising company that Miao Xiaowen worked for to ask the parties involved,” Miao Ying said.”But, they had no impression of the film company that came to shoot the advertisement!”
“They can’t even tell us who the model that the company chose was, let alone an ordinary employee like Kang Ziqing!”
“Mm …” Zhao Yu nodded, then turned around and said,”Zeng ke, tell me the latest news from your side!”
“Everyone, thanks to cui Lizhu’s efforts, the police of Xijiang found a video of Kang Ziqing in a film from an advertising company, which allowed us to finally get Kang Ziqing’s body characteristics from that year.
“However, due to the angle and the lack of time, it is inevitable that there will be errors in the data we obtained!” Zeng ke turned on the big screen, playing the video recording as he said,”after the technical experts compared Kang Ziqing’s arms, hand shape, and body proportion with the murderer’s external features in the video, they could only confirm that the similarity was about 50%, which was not enough to meet the standard of comparison!”
“So,” Zeng ke shook his head helplessly,”if we can’t find a clearer and more effective video, then we can’t compare the videos!”
“Mm …” Miao Ying frowned after listening to him.”According to my experience, a 50% similarity is already very high! This at least meant that Kang Ziqing’s body size was not very different from the murderer ‘s!
“So, Kang Ziqing is still highly suspicious!”
“Indeed!” Zhao Yu nodded and said,”now, other than his personality, there are no obvious clues that can rule out Kang Ziqing as a suspect!
“At first, I suspected that Kang Ziqing’s personality had changed after working with the film crew.
“However, through cui Lizhu’s visit, she found out that although he restrained himself when he was with the crew, he still had a bad temper, drinking, gambling, and other bad habits!
“Because he often drove under the influence of alcohol. He was even scolded by the company’s management and was almost fired!”
“The point is …” Miao Ying said.”Kang Ziqing’s job has nothing to do with video recording. He couldn’t have gotten those expensive HD video cameras, and he didn’t know how to record anything!
“But the murderer in the video clearly has some experience in shooting …”
“Sis Wu, tell me more about the latest news from your side!” Zhao Yu gestured to Wu Xiumin.
“Okay.” Wu Xiumin picked up the information in her hand and introduced it to everyone.”After learning about the film company, I sent someone to follow up on the information of the 11 victims to find out if they had any connection with the film company.
“Now,” Wu Xiumin said as she put one of the documents on the display stand, which was then played on the big screen.”In addition to the confirmed evidence of Miao Xiaowen and Wu aoshan, we have found another victim who is related to the film company.
“She is the second victim, Cao Yiran. According to the memories of Cao Yiran’s family, some time before she disappeared, Cao Yiran had participated in an audition for an advertisement cast, but she was not selected in the end.”
“Cao Yiran …” Zeng ke glanced at the information on the whiteboard and said,”is she the dairy product salesman?”
“Yes,” Wu Xiumin said.”Because of her outstanding appearance, she was selected by her unit to participate in the audition.” I’ve just sent someone to verify that the advertising crew in charge of the final shooting is the crew sent by the film company, and Kang Ziqing is working in that crew!
“However, other than Cao Yiran, the information of the other victims is still under investigation. At the moment, we have not found any information on whether they have any contact with the film company!”
After Wu Xiumin’s introduction, Miao Ying pondered for a moment before saying,”Although only three victims were related to the film company and Kang Ziqing, including Zhang He on the flyer and Cao lejiao on the business card …
“We can now be sure that,” Miao Ying weighed the pros and cons carefully, then said,”at least, the murderer is in this film company!”
“If it’s not Kang Ziqing, then it must be someone who has a close relationship with him, and someone who matches the video murder case perfectly!”
“But now,” Zeng ke looked at Ran Tao, then said,”the biggest suspect is still Kang Ziqing!”
“If it was someone else, we still wouldn’t be able to explain why the murder tape would appear in Kang Ziqing’s bag.”
“Right!” Ran Tao quickly nodded in agreement.
“Wait a minute …” Ran Tao had just finished nodding, when Zhao Yu suddenly raised his arm to signal him. He then took out his vibrating mobile phone from his pocket and said,”cui is calling!”
Then, Zhao Yu put his phone on speaker and answered the call.
“Hey, boss, boss,” cui Lizhu’s voice was always so clear and full of vitality.”Let me tell you a piece of good news. Today, I sent someone to turn the film company’s financial office upside down and found their internal accounting report list from that year. This list is so complete!”
“There are records of all the employees” salaries since the company was founded, up to the time before the restructuring and transfer. I don’t know if they were avoiding taxes or something else.
“Fortunately, this lady’s sense of smell is sensitive and I found it by smelling it! Wahahaha …”
Everyone was speechless. They all felt that cui Lizhu’s words and actions were more and more like Zhao Yu ‘s.
“I’m sorry,” cui Lizhu laughed and said.”I was a little late to report to you, because I found that the salary bill was much more detailed than the one I received before. Not only was the money counted, but it also had a very detailed time and place. After all, the salary was paid by the day, so it was calculated very carefully!
“Take Kang Ziqing for example. Every day he goes, every day he goes, and what he does, it’s all recorded in the book!” Cui Lizhu said almost madly,”this thing is like a Supreme magic weapon that God has specially given us to solve cases!
“I just … I just checked Kang Ziqing’s salary bills carefully. From 1998 to the car accident in 2006, every sum of money was clearly written.
“With this, we can accurately restore Kang Ziqing’s work trajectory!
“Boss,” cui Lizhu said excitedly,”I can tell you now that Kang Ziqing is the real murderer of the video serial killer case!”
