"This photo is the clue you mentioned?"
The Haizhou case was an extremely heinous serial murder case. Although Captain Gao didn't say it with his mouth, he still remembered it in his heart.
He recognized the people in the photo at a glance. They were all victims of the Haizhou case.
Moreover, these photos were not in the previous files. Looking at the yellowed photos, these photos must have been there for many years.
"That's right!"
Seeing Captain Gao become serious, Leng Xiaobing knew that the previous matter was over, and the most important thing now was the case.
"These photos were found in a photo studio on Hongguang Road."
"Team Gao, we have been looking for the connection between the victims these years, and we still haven't found it after more than ten years of searching."
"Who would have thought that all these victims had their photos taken in this photo studio?"
Captain Gao nodded in agreement.
This is by no means a simple coincidence. Although the murderer's motive is not yet known, the intersection between the victims has been found.
With this clue, the day when the truth will surface will not be too far away.
Based on the previous investigation, it can be determined that this photo studio is definitely not within the scope of the previous investigation.
In other words, the intersection between the victim and the photo studio is not deep. If it is more rigorous, a qualifier should be added.
At least on the surface, there was little connection between the victim and the photo studio.
As for whether there is any special relationship in private, we have to continue to investigate.
"Have you found the person who took the photo?"
Captain Gao picked up one of the photos and rubbed it carefully.
"not yet."
Leng Xiaobing shook his head: "However, it should be soon. The former staff of the photo studio are on their way."
"Um."
Captain Gao nodded and said slightly curiously: "Xiao Bing, tell me, how did you find this photo studio?"
Haizhou City is neither big nor small. Without a clear direction, trying to find this photo studio among millions of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Leng Xiaobing chuckled: "Captain Gao, I can tell you, but you have to promise not to get angry after listening."
Captain Gao glared at Leng Xiaobing. As soon as the boy raised his butt, he knew what the other person was about to fart.
This kid is probably going to stage another drama of killing first and showing off later.
"Speak quickly!"
However, Captain Gao would not agree to Leng Xiaobing's conditions. No matter how good the personal relationship was, matters should be dealt with in a business-like manner.
If Leng Xiaobing really did something beyond the regulations, he would never tolerate it!
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I was able to find this photo studio thanks to one person."
Having said this, Leng Xiaobing paused slightly, and after observing the expression on Captain Gao's face, he was ready to continue.
However, as soon as his words came to his lips, Captain Gao announced the person's name.
"Natsuki?"
"yes."
Leng Xiaobing nodded guiltily.
"Nonsense!"
Captain Gao's face was stern, and he was so angry that he almost slammed the table.
This is not nonsense, who is 'Xia Mu'?
The person who witnessed the Haizhou case was an interested party in the Haizhou case. According to the principle of avoidance, 'Xia Mu' could not participate in the investigation and evidence collection of the Haizhou case.
"Leng Xiaobing, have you forgotten the police regulations?"
"ah?"
"Do you understand the principle of avoidance?"
"If you don't understand, go and copy the police case for me a hundred times now!"
Leng Xiaobing knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to talk back to his angry superior. He just lowered his head and stood there obediently, as if he was ready to scold him.
In fact, strictly speaking, this matter does not violate the regulations, because they have not officially reopened the Haizhou case, and they are not part of the task force.
They just discovered the clues of the "Haizhou Case" by chance in their daily work.
This situation is not uncommon.
The clues in many cases are often discovered accidentally. For example, when investigating someone, a fugitive from many years ago is suddenly found.
Encountering this special situation does not constitute a violation of the regulations.
Obviously, Captain Gao also knew this, otherwise, instead of yelling at him, he would have directly suspended Leng Xiaobing.
Scolding means there is still hope.
It's really hopeless, just do whatever you have to do.
It's just that this time Captain Gao seemed to want to refresh Leng Xiaobing's memory, so he taught him for about ten minutes before he stopped.
It won't work if we don't stop, because the person summoned has arrived.
…
…
…
Inquiry room.
The fat boss saw an acquaintance appear and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Uncle Zhang, you've got it."
"Xiao Zhou, what's going on?"
At this moment, the middle-aged man also looked confused. He suddenly received a summons from the police. On the way here, his heart was in a state of confusion.
After decades of abiding by the law, he asked himself that he had never done anything illegal.
Hey!
Hey!
The fat man was about to speak when a crisp sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. When he saw the face of the person clearly, he quickly stepped forward with a smile.
"Team Leng, let me introduce to you. This is my Uncle Zhang, Zhang Yinping, one of the photographers in my family's photo studio back then."
"If the person you are looking for has really worked in our store, Uncle Zhang will definitely remember him."
Leng Xiaobing took a look at the middle-aged man in front of him, and his attention immediately focused on his eyes.
Although the probability of this person being the 'murderer' was very small (the height did not match), Leng Xiaobing still habitually looked at the other person's eyes first.
Habits developed over many years are difficult to correct in a short period of time.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, please sit down."
Leng Xiaobing pointed to the chair beside him, and then said straight to the point: "I am Leng Xiaobing from the serious crime team. Did you work at the Hongguang Road Photo Studio between 1993 and 2008?"
"Yes."
Zhang Yinping replied slightly cautiously.
"Do any of your colleagues who were working at that time like to take black and white photos? His eyes are relatively small and he is about 1.8 meters tall."
"His character should be very withdrawn and a bit unsociable."
Zhang Yinping was still recalling carefully, but when he heard the words "unsociable personality", he immediately thought of a person.
This person is indeed very withdrawn. He likes to be alone and takes black and white photos. He is also tall and has squinty eyes.
So, he quickly replied.
"have!"
"Who is he? What is his name, and where does he live?"
Leng Xiaobing took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart.
"His name is Hu Shanquan."
After saying this, Zhang Yinping looked embarrassed and said: "However, I don't know where he lives. This person has a very strange personality and he never communicates with us much."
"correct!"
Suddenly, Zhang Yinping remembered something.
"Although I don't know, there is someone who must know where he lives. Xiao Hu has a good friend who is a doctor at Anding Hospital. That person's surname seems to be Shen. I can't remember the specific name."
