Ten minutes later, the two finally turned on the machine and sat in front of the computer. After inserting the card, he quickly found the video he was looking for out of the corner of his eye, and then looked at it frame by frame from back to front. Although Xu Mingzhi was confused, he didn't bother him.
After looking at it for the first time, he didn't find what he was looking for out of the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to watch it a second time, Xu Mingzhi's phone rang. He took a look, got up and went to a secluded area outside.
The call was from Lao Wang.
The technical department has reviewed all the surveillance videos on the road. During the time period that Xu Mingzhi told him on the phone, all the white cars passing through that section of the road have been screened out. There are a total of eighteen cars. Among them, five are urban off-road vehicles and can be excluded. He has already sent the owner information and related surveillance footage of the remaining thirteen vehicles to Xu Mingzhi's mailbox.
At the end, Lao Wang also said: "I also looked twice. Most of the drivers' faces were shown at that time, so I can be sure that it was not Zhang Xueyi. But I am not sure if there is anyone in the back seat. There were five drivers whose faces were not found. I circled it.”
Lao Wang is always very thorough when doing things.
After Xu Mingzhi hung up the phone, he went to the front desk and turned on the machine. The information sent by Lao Wang has been streamlined, but it is still a lot.
He first looked at the surveillance images of the five cars circled by Lao Wang. As Lao Wang said, the drivers of these five vehicles had their sun visors lowered, so their faces were basically not captured by the surveillance cameras. However, judging from the general figure, it seems that Zhang Xueyi is not among them.
He found the owner information of these five vehicles and checked them again. They were all people who had nothing to do with this case.
Just when he thought he might not gain anything, someone from the corner of his eye suddenly reached out and patted him.
He turned his head in surprise, pointed at the computer screen with his peripheral vision, and said, "Look here, is there a car?"
This is a relatively blurry picture. A taxi is driving in the middle lane of a three-lane road. At the edge of the surveillance screen is a small intersection. Going in from the intersection, almost out of the picture, a white car is exposed. A small part of the front of the car.
"There is a car." Xu Mingzhi stared at it carefully and nodded to confirm.
Yu Guang said: "This is less than one kilometer away from where Zhou Jiaoran got off the bus." After a pause, he continued: "In terms of distance and time, Zhou Jiaoran contacted Zhang Xueyi after getting off the bus. The time when Zhang Xueyi came from here to find Zhou Jiaoran was about the same time as the time when the taxi driver turned around."
Xu Mingzhi immediately understood Yu Guang's intention of asking for the video from the taxi. He felt that Zhang Xueyi should have arrived here in advance and was waiting.
After thinking about it, Xu Mingzhi took a look at the time displayed on the surveillance camera, and then called Lao Wang and asked him to search on the road surveillance camera based on this time.
Although the driving recorder did not capture the license plate number of the car, and they did not know when the car arrived here, the time of departure can be calculated.
Soon, Lao Wang had something to gain.
This car did not follow that road out of the city. Instead, like the taxi, it turned around at the intersection not far ahead and returned to the city.
As for where it ends up, it will take time.
Xu Mingzhi's heart suddenly calmed down a lot. As long as there are clues, he is not afraid of not finding them. The biggest fear is that there are no clues.
The two packed up their things and after leaving the Internet cafe, Lao Wang sent the car owner's information. The owner of the car is a middle-aged man named Shen Genqin, 52 years old, who is self-employed. His car had a minor accident a few days ago, and some paint fell off, so he sent it to an acquaintance to have it painted. He originally planned to pick up the car today, but the acquaintance couldn't get in touch, so he didn't pick it up. As for him, he has been in his store all afternoon and has never gone out. The surveillance in the store can prove it.
Lao Wang also said that the acquaintance who repaired the car was named Liu Jinye.
It seems that although Liu Jinye is dead, some of his resources continue to provide convenience to Zhang Xueyi.
Finally, Lao Wang gave Xu Mingzhi another message.
He said that the technical department went to check the game called Battlefield League. The account of "Good Day and Beautiful View" that Zhang Xueyi once used was no longer used four years ago, but the person named Wu Lanlan in the case of sinking corpses in the reservoir The deceased's account was logged in in April this year. Among the contacts in her game account, one person's authentication information is exactly that of Yu Keke.
This information immediately cheered Xu Mingzhi up a lot.
He asked Lao Wang to ask the technical department to see if he could find the other party's location at that time based on the login information.
After hanging up the phone, while starting the car, he showed a rare smile and said, "It seems like today is a good day."
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the always gloomy sky outside the window and made no rebuttal.
Twenty minutes later, the technical department determined that the last location of Shen Genqin's car that appeared on the surveillance camera was near Futian Village in the west of the city.
That was a familiar place for Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang.
It was there that Liu Liu was kidnapped.
In fact, Futian Village is not very far from where Zhou Jiaoran got on the bus, about twenty minutes' drive. But the reason why it took the technical department so long to find it was because Shen Genqin's car seemed to have taken a detour on purpose and circled most of the city before finally going there.
However, both Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang felt that Futian Village might not be Zhang Xueyi’s real destination.
Zhang Xueyi went through all the trouble to get rid of their surveillance and come to see Zhou Jiaoran. It must be more than just old friends reminiscing. And if he wants to attack Zhou Jiaoran, then Futian Village is definitely not a good place.
Although the place is a mixed bag of people and there is no surveillance, it is densely populated and the sound insulation of the house is not good. If there is a slight disturbance, the surroundings can basically hear it. Moreover, it would be difficult to dispose of the body afterwards, unless Zhang Xueyi did not intend to dispose of it. But this is not his style.
Xu Mingzhi parked the car on the side of the road and looked at the dim sky outside the car window. The good mood that he had felt today was a good day was gone.
"He should have other places to stay," Yu Guang said.
Xu Mingzhi nodded: "The key is how to find it now!"
Yu Guang pondered for a while and said, "Have you found the places where the other deceased people lived before they were alive?"
Xu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment.
Yu Guang explained: "Since he will use the account used by the deceased, then the place where they once lived may also be used."
This is indeed possible, but among the deceased who they currently know the identity of, apart from Yu Keke, even the most recent deceased is already 14 years old, and it has been two years now. The deceased were all withdrawn and had little social contact. Two years was enough for strangers who had no connection with them to forget the traces of this person's past.
Moreover, let alone two years ago, even now, rental information registration is still a big loophole. The same is true for the mobile registration of migrant populations.
Therefore, even if they knew that Zhang Xueyi was likely to use the house that the deceased had rented, it was still difficult for them to start from this point.
However, it is difficult to return, so this is still a direction and must be tried.
So, while Xu Mingzhi restarted the car and drove towards Futian Village, he told Lao Wang about the matter.
More than thirty minutes later, the two arrived near Futian Village and found Shen Genqin's car.
At this time, Shen Genqin also arrived, holding the car keys.
After unlocking the car with his key, Xu Mingzhi went to the car to check and found a few long hairs in the back seat. If nothing else, they should have been left by Zhou Jiaoran.
After collecting it, he asked the bureau to tow the car back. When Shen Genqin heard that his car was about to enter the police station, he was a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to say anything.
After handling the matter here, Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang walked around Futian Village and asked some people. As expected, they found nothing.
Although I had been prepared for such an outcome, it was inevitable to be disappointed.
Could it be that the clues that were finally found were about to be cut off like this?
At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark.
It seems that it is going to rain again.
With no new clues, Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang could only return to the game. As soon as the car entered the hospital, another car followed behind. Xu Mingzhi took a casual look and suddenly frowned.
The car belongs to He Yu.
At this juncture, this guy couldn't be contacted all afternoon, which was outrageous!
Xu Mingzhi got out of the car in anger and walked straight to He Yu's car. Before the latter could react, he had already slapped his car window.
