Chapter 5 Follow the clues
On the vast highway, two cars were speeding forward at lightning speed.

Leading the way ahead is a hard-core off-road vehicle, the BJ40, whose resolute and stable figure is particularly eye-catching.

The lines of the car body are rugged and powerful, just like an iron cavalry, fearless of any difficulties and obstacles, and moving forward firmly against the wind.

Inside the car, Liang Yu's mood gradually calmed down.

He adjusted his sitting position, leaning back more comfortably, and began to look through the files carefully.

June 6, 16:8 am.

A female corpse was salvaged from the middle section of Wantong River in Nanli District. Her eyes were gouged out and there were bruises and marks on her neck.

According to forensic identification, the time of death was estimated to be around 23: the previous night, and the cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation.

After killing the victim, the murderer dug out the victim's eyes with a sharp weapon and then threw the body into the river.

Beiling Police Station quickly identified the deceased based on recent missing persons reports and claims.

Wu Xiuli, a native of Lanpei County, worked as a receptionist in an advertising company before her death.

The day of her death happened to be her 26th birthday!
After visiting and investigating, some neighbors reported that they heard a fierce quarrel in the deceased's home on the evening of June 6, which was suspected to be a love dispute.

In addition, according to company colleagues, the deceased had been dating a man named Zhou Wei, who worked as a salesperson in a real estate agency.

but!

The two had broken up two months ago.

After verifying Zhou Wei's identity, the police found that he disappeared after get off work on June 6. No one has seen him or contacted him since then.

Therefore, it was initially concluded that Zhou Wei was a major suspect in the crime!

After investigation.

Zhou Wei is 29 years old and his hometown is Wanghe Village, Zhang County. He is the only son in the family and his parents have been dead for many years.

I had been working in Lin'an City before.

In his early days, he sold insurance and worked as a security guard, and later worked as a coach in a fitness club.

Until a year ago.

He somehow returned to Chuncheng City and has been working in a real estate agency ever since, during which time he met the deceased Wu Xiuli.

As for the reason for their breakup, it is currently unknown.

Liang Yu stared at the deceased's photo for a long time.

He shook his head secretly, feeling sorry that Wu Xiuli died in Wantong River on her birthday at such a prime time.

In the photo, she has a beautiful smile, an oval face, a nose like a jade onion, and a pair of phoenix eyes that add a bit of charm to her.

Then I think about the fact that her eyes were gouged out after her death, and the empty and deep eye sockets, so miserable and terrifying!
The fledgling Liang Yu was very depressed and couldn't let it go for a long time.

"finish watching?"

Gao Zhan broke the silence in the car and asked without turning his head.

"Well, it's over."

Then there was another brief silence.

Although he was sitting in the front row, Gao Zhan could still feel something was wrong with Liang Yu.

In fact, he is a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart, rough but meticulous. He has a delicate heart hidden under his rough appearance, otherwise he would not be able to work as a criminal policeman.

As a deputy director and senior, he showed his patience and meticulousness at this moment.

"You will get used to it after seeing it more. It's not that you are numb to it, but because of the responsibility we bear, we can only keep a clear mind when we are calm, successfully solve the case, and bring the criminals to justice, which is the best consolation for the deceased!"

"I understand. Thank you Gao Suo."

A warm feeling surged in Liang Yu's heart and he nodded gratefully.

The driver Zhang Cheng smiled and agreed:
"Everyone has this process, but you're fine. For detectives like us, the first time we go to a death scene, it's the most embarrassing scene in our lives. We vomit and our faces turn pale. It's so weak!"

Liang Yu also adjusted his mentality and replied with a smile: "It's not hard to imagine."

The atmosphere in the car improved, and Gao Zhan continued:
"Last night, we were participating in the district's joint law enforcement when we suddenly received a call from the head of Wanghe Village, saying that Zhou Wei had returned to his hometown. We rushed there overnight, but we were still a step too late. He ran away!" "Run away?! Did he find out he was exposed?"

Liang Yu was very confused and thought that this person was not simple. He disappeared for such a long time without any clues. He rarely showed up, but he slipped away again!

"Probably not." Gao Zhan shook his head and continued:

"Although we failed to catch him, we still gained something. In a drawer in his house, we found a photo of a woman with a string of numbers behind it! We had not found this photo before."

He casually took out a piece of paper, Liang Yu took it and looked at it. There was a photo printed on it, both sides.

"So, Zhou Wei is also looking for it when he returns to his hometown this time?"

Liang Yu realized that this photo must be very important to Zhou Wei.

Gao Zhan was a little surprised. He glanced at Liang Yu in the rearview mirror and nodded appreciatively.

"Yes, to be more precise, he is looking for the number behind the photo!"

After thinking for a moment, Liang Yu took out his mobile phone, opened the Penguin chat software, tried to enter the string of numbers, and then asked in surprise:
"So this string of numbers is the Penguin number? And the address is exactly Lin'an City, where Zhou Wei worked a year ago?!"

Gao Zhan raised his right eyebrow twice. He didn't expect Liang Yu to be so perceptive. He turned out to be a good candidate to be a criminal police!
He immediately added: "Yes, so we suspect that Zhou Wei should have been in contact with this woman. We have contacted the Lin'an City police and are ready to follow the clues, but we have not received a reply yet."

Hearing this, Liang Yu couldn't help but look at the woman in the photo a few more times!

"Huh!?"

He exclaimed, as if he had discovered something!
"what happened?"

"This woman's eyes are very similar to Wu Xiuli's, also phoenix eyes!"

Although the appearance of the woman in the photo is very different from that of the deceased Wu Xiuli, the two of them are extremely similar in their charming phoenix eyes.

Gao Zhan in the front row nodded frequently, and his favorable impression of the young man behind him doubled.

"You are very observant and your thinking is sharp enough!"

Ring ring ring~
A cell phone suddenly rang in the car and Gao Zhan quickly answered the call.

After chatting with the other party for a few words, he suddenly turned around and looked at Liang Yu in surprise:

"The Lin'an City Bureau sent a letter. The woman's name is Song Xiaoyu, she is 28 years old and lives in Jiulong Community. What's more important is that there is a fitness club less than 300 meters away from this community. It is the gym where Zhou Wei used to be a coach!"

The driver, Zhang Cheng, patted the steering wheel and said excitedly, "It seems that these two people must know each other!"

“Maybe the relationship is more than ordinary!?”

Liang Yu became more certain of his guess. He guessed that Zhou Wei had a special liking for women with phoenix eyes.

"Another detail, today happens to be Song Xiaoyu's birthday!"

When Liang Yu heard Gao Zhan's words, his heart was shocked and a bad premonition followed.

"Gao Suo, we have to hurry."

Just as the two cars drove off the highway exit.

In a noodle restaurant outside Jiulong Community in Lin'an City, Zhou Wei wolfed down a bowl of noodles.

He wiped his mouth, picked up the phone without a card, connected to the store's wireless WiFi, and logged into a Penguin account that had been registered recently.

There is only one newly added contact in the software.

He clicked on the avatar and typed in the text.

(After saying so much, can't you forgive me?)
Not long after, he received a reply message.

(Are you sure you want to buy me a car?)

Zhou Wei smiled awkwardly and replied immediately.

(Of course, we will go buy it tomorrow as a birthday present to make up for your birthday today.)
This time it took more than ten minutes before I got a reply from the other party.

(I'm home alone, you come up first!)
Zhou Wei immediately turned off his phone and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
