Mystery Tracker 3

Chapter 12 Rumors

"There are rumors about this case on the Internet."

Hearing this sentence, everyone looked at Qin Kai in unison——

Qin Kai's eyes widened, apparently he didn't expect his crow's mouth to be so effective. Over there, Cheng Haiyang patted Qin Kai's shoulder and said sincerely: "Qin Kai, don't talk too much from now on."

While joking, Cheng Jinsong had already opened a website on the nearest computer.I saw that the top post had the title "Probably a big case in City S?".Clicking in, the first thing everyone saw was the photo of the police car entering the campus of S University, and then the student broke the news about the student being investigated by the police, and directly clicked on the "Department of Art"; then, the photo of the police searching near the university town It also appeared on the webpage, triggering various speculations from "waste oil" to "destroyed corpse".

"Ruiheng said that today he was privately messaged on Weibo today, and then saw this post." Cheng Jinsong explained while scrolling, "He looked at it and thought it seemed like a real case, so he came here Ask me."

As the screen scrolled, everyone quickly understood why Jiang Ruiheng was @, because the body parts they found in the Hongshan garbage dump were secretly photographed by someone and posted on the Internet——

"Attention! The picture below is too exciting, please don't click on it if you are timid! According to reliable gossip, several police cars went to the Hongshan garbage dump yesterday morning. I heard that the garbage dump workers discovered it while disposing of the garbage. The dismembered corpse——Attention!! It is a dismembered corpse, and I heard that it was divided into many pieces, not just a dozen or 20 yuan. Remind again that the picture below will cause strong discomfort, please make sure you can accept it Open again... [picture]”

Below the "intimate" prompt of the poster, there is a photo of minced meat tissue that has not been coded.

"Who is this? They actually posted unencoded photos!" Cheng Haiyang yelled after seeing it, "And why doesn't this website review it?! How can this kind of photos be posted?!"

"This is a screenshot from a WeChat group, that is to say, in some WeChat groups, this photo should have been circulated." Cui Mingyou said, looking at Cheng Jinsong and Shen Yan, "It's all like this, we are Isn't it time to consider issuing a case announcement?"

Shen Yan frowned.He knew in his heart that the "information leak" would happen sooner or later, but if it leaked one day later, the police would be less pressured and it would be more convenient during the investigation.However, in this era when everyone who picks up a mobile phone is self-media, "keeping a secret" has become the most difficult thing.What's more, the scope of the police's investigation in the past two days is not small. I don't know that there are hundreds or thousands of photos taken by ordinary people watching the excitement.

"Hey wait a minute! Look at this!" Suddenly, Qin Kai pointed to one of the messages and shouted, "Someone connected this case with the previous case!"

Several people looked at Qin Kai's finger at the same time, and they saw that the person's message was like this: "Isn't this a replica of the famous corpse case 20 years ago?! Especially the pile of minced meat, it's almost the same The case back then was exactly the same!"

This statement immediately aroused many people's questioning.Soon someone posted the full details of the case back then, and compared it with everything today: "Look, there are still so many pieces of minced meat, and it is also S University, and the police are also conducting a large-scale search... I feel like something big is going to happen..."

A few people were concentrating on the post, when footsteps came from the door suddenly, Jiang Li, who was standing outside, looked back: "Ju Xiao?"

"Director Xiao." "Director Xiao." Everyone turned their heads and greeted Director Xiao one after another.

Xiao Changhe nodded. He glanced at the computer and said, "Did you see this too?"

"Yes." Shen Yan nodded.

"Just now the public relations department has received some calls from the media, all of them are asking about this matter. Our bureau leaders discussed it and felt that we should issue a case announcement."

"Announcement on the details of the case is fine." Cheng Jinsong nodded, "I think the case has been sorted out on the Internet, and now the announcement will also help to clear up the rumors. Moreover, after the announcement, we can also mobilize the power of netizens to collect clues. Not a bad thing."

"Yes, we can also collect more clues from the public in terms of physical evidence." Cui Mingyou also agreed.

Fang Liyuan also agreed: "In the past two days, we have been searching for corpses in the south of the city without any results. If the announcement is made, we can just call the people of the city to pay attention to suspicious persons."

Seeing everyone nodding in unison, Xiao Changhe looked at Shen Yan again: "Shen Yan, what do you say?"

"I agree with a few of them, and I can make an announcement."

"Okay," Xiao Changhe nodded, "Since none of you have any objections, then Shen Yan, you should talk to your colleagues in the public relations department, and then study the specific statement, and post it on the official account of the Municipal Bureau in a while."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, the official account of the S City Public Security Bureau issued a case announcement on Weibo, confirming that a homicide case occurred in S City, and the police are currently investigating further.As soon as the news came out, there was another uproar on the Internet.Many people asked below whether the rumors were true, but of course the police did not reply, because they had too much to do right now—first, Hu Qianqian's parents rushed to S City from a small county.Shen Yan arranged for Jiang Xin to extract DNA from both of them. After comparison, it was confirmed again that the deceased was their daughter Hu Qianqian.When the results of the comparison came out, the last illusion remaining in the hearts of the two of them was also shattered, and they couldn't help crying bitterly.

"Captain Shen, can we see Qianqian's body?" Hu Qianqian's father asked tremblingly.

Shen Yan hesitated: "Yes, it is possible, but I must remind you that your daughter's body has been dismembered, and we have not found all her bones yet."

"That's my child, the flesh that fell from my body when I was pregnant in October. No matter what she looks like, I want to see it." Hu Qianqian's mother said.

Seeing that the two were so determined, Shen Yan nodded slightly to Jiang Xin.Jiang Xin then said: "Okay, please come in with me, both of you."

Jiang Xin left with Hu's father and mother.Here, several leaders of S University came up.

"Captain Shen, Officer Cheng," said Lu Jiezhong, Secretary of the Party Committee of S University, "I see some rumors on the Internet that this case is related to the case of dismemberment 20 years ago?"

"Sorry, it's inconvenient to announce all the details of the case during the investigation stage," Shen Yan said.

"I understand," Lu Jiezhong nodded, "As soon as the Weibo post from your Public Security Bureau was posted today, our school also received a lot of calls. Captain Shen, you also know that the case that year also happened in our school, and now it's happening again. Regarding Hu Qianqian, we...we are also facing a lot of pressure."

Shen Yan glanced at the few people across from him—the party secretary, principal, director of the security department of S University, and Hu Qianqian's counselor were all here, and it was obvious that they were really nervous about this case.Before Shen Yan could say anything, suddenly, a shrill cry broke out in the forensic room——

"Qianqian!—"

The sudden crying startled the few people outside the door, presumably Hu Qianqian's parents saw the tragic state of Hu Qianqian's body.Cheng Jinsong saw the different looks of several leaders of S University, and suggested: "Let's talk in another place."

So, the two brought the group to the reception room, and after a few people sat down, Shen Yan said, "Which of you were at S University when the body dismemberment case happened?"

Several people in the room looked at each other, only Director Jiao shook his head.

"Director Jiao wasn't at S University at the time?" Shen Yan asked.

"No, I was transferred to S University ten years ago when I changed jobs."

Shen Yan nodded, and then looked at the others: "So you were all there at the time, right? What kind of student was the deceased Zhu Yu?"

"Zhu Yu was a student in our school's computer adult class at the time." It was Secretary Lu who spoke, "At that time, we had just started the adult class, and Zhu Yu was probably in the third class. Because they are different from full-time undergraduates, their management is also more advanced. The undergraduate students were loose. I remember that they lived in a separate building on the north side of the old campus, and because they were all adults, some of them were not used to living in the school dormitory, so they rented a house outside, so some people did not return at night. People care. I remember that Zhu Yu was missing for five days before being reported."

"Secretary Lu remembers clearly?"

"I was in charge of student affairs at that time, and I was questioned many times by the police about Zhu Yu's case, so I remember many things clearly." Secretary Lu smiled wryly, "I remember that Zhu Yu was also a thin and small girl. Not very talkative, I don’t have many friends in class.” At this point, he looked at Liu Xingyan, Hu Qianqian’s counselor, “In this regard, he is very similar to Hu Qianqian.”

"Are there any similarities between those two?" Shen Yan asked.

"I have never had direct contact with the two students here, and these impressions are based on what their counselors said. I heard Teacher Liu say that Hu Qianqian is particularly obsessed with chasing stars, but Zhu Yu is not so obvious about this. She seems to be Listening to music, and occasionally surfing the Internet—at that time, the Internet in China was just emerging, and most people didn’t surf the Internet very much, but their computer science department still had more access to the Internet than ordinary people.”

"Did you check the netizens she made online at that time?" Cheng Jinsong asked,

"There was an investigation, but in the end all suspects were ruled out." Secretary Lu said, "Actually, as far as I know, the police basically searched all the people who had something to do with Zhu Yu at that time. But the real murderer of Zhu Yu was not found. So We hope that the real culprit of Hu Qianqian's case can be caught as soon as possible."

"Yes, Hu Qianqian is about the same age as my son. In my eyes, she is like a child to me." Liu Xingyan also said, "I sincerely hope that the murderer can be caught as soon as possible."

After a while, Hu Qianqian's parents finished identifying the body. The two elders of the Hu family, with tears on their faces, fell to their knees when they saw Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong, begging the police to track down the murderer.Everyone hurriedly helped the old man up to comfort him.After the two were emotionally stable, Shen Yan asked them about Hu Qianqian's daily situation, but Hu's father and Hu's mother knew very little about their daughter's school, and they didn't even know that her daughter blocked them in the circle of friends .

"Okay, our police have basically understood it. It's getting late today, you two should go back first. Our police has set up a special case team and will do our best to solve the case." Shen Yan said, "Also remember that you and I just now As I said, don’t tell outsiders about your daughter’s case, especially don’t tell the media, if the news leaks, it may affect our police’s investigation work.”

Then he looked at Secretary Lu again: "The school, please don't leak the news."

"Okay, we understand." Secretary Lu agreed.

Police station, the second case analysis meeting.

"Hu Qianqian's parents don't know about Hu Qianqian's situation at school, and they don't even know who she contacted before she was killed." Shen Yan made a brief summary, and then looked at the team members, "Tell me what you have just found out."

"The telecom company has replied," Jiang Li said first, "According to the signal feedback from the base station, the last location of Hu Qianqian's cell phone before it was turned off was near the Flying Bird Theater, that is to say, she should have had an accident near the Flying Bird Theater If combined with the leave message received by her counselor teacher, we have reason to suspect that the murderer sent the message on Hu Qianqian's mobile phone. The purpose should be to delay the time for other people to find out that Hu Qianqian is missing so that they can dispose of the body and dispose of it. corpse."

"Several netizens who watched the show with Hu Qianqian on the night of the 3rd have already asked about it." Cheng Haiyang continued to report, "According to them, Hu Qianqian originally watched the show with them that day, but most of the time Hu Qianqian suddenly said that she had to leave first, and then left very excitedly."

"Excited?" Shen Yan noticed Cheng Haiyang's words.

"Yes, that's the girl's original words." Cheng Haiyang nodded, "She said that Hu Qianqian was quite excited that night, she was a little absent-minded while watching the drama, and frequently checked her mobile phone. I think she must be waiting for news of the murderer. .”

"Do you suspect that the murderer is Hu Qianqian's boyfriend?" Fang Liyuan asked.

"No, Hu Qianqian doesn't have a boyfriend," Cheng Haiyang shook his head, "According to what her friend said, she gave all her love to her idol. I saw Hu Qianqian's Weibo and @@space on her netizen's mobile phone , basically all about that star. So I suspect that the murderer used an excuse to snatch her away must be related to this star."

"It's possible." Shen Yan agreed, "Have you asked who her friends are on Starchaser?"

"I asked, besides the few people who were present, they also mentioned a few, and I will investigate further."

"Okay. The information of those netizens, as well as Hu Qianqian's own WeChat and □□ contacts, all apply to the software company for access." Shen Yan instructed.

"Yes."

Before the words were finished, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Tang Qing hurried in: "Shen Dui, Cheng Dui, I just saw a very suspicious post on the Internet. I suspect that the person who posted it and this It's about the case."
