Throughout the morning, Bai Mo followed Zeng Hao gloomily around the Tongzi Building where the crime occurred.
"Why do you feel that you are not in a good mood?" Zeng Hao took out a cigarette and handed it to Bai Mo.
Bai Mo took the cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, sighing: "Actually, I also made some discoveries, but Sister Lu Wan didn't even let me speak, which makes me a little sad. It's like a transfer student who wants to answer questions actively, but the head teacher doesn't want to listen to him at all. Speaking, do you think it’s uncomfortable or not?”
Zeng Hao rolled his eyes, took a puff of cigarette and said, "Young Master, are you too pretentious? If you make any major discoveries, just tell them directly. Why can't Army Corps listen? Do you have to wait for her to ask you if you have discovered anything? ?"
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt that what Zeng Hao said made sense.
During these years abroad, Bai Mo was a future artist in the eyes of his teachers. Every time he appreciated the paintings, the old professors would ask him what he thought. He had become accustomed to this feeling of being asked, and he seemed to have forgotten that he had taken the initiative to express his opinions. Choice of opinions.
"Besides, Captain Lu is not in a good mood today, so it's normal to ignore you." Zeng Hao added.
"In a bad mood?" Bai Mo asked doubtfully.
"A few days after she came back, murder cases occurred one after another. If you were the captain of the criminal police, wouldn't you feel any pressure?" Zeng Hao assumed the posture of an old-timer, "You have to learn to watch for words!"
Bai Mo nodded as if he had been taught something, thinking that he would help Lu Wan catch the murderer this time and solve her problems.
"Speaking of which." Zeng Hao put a hand on Bai Mo's shoulder and said with a smile, "What major discovery have you made?"
Bai Mo followed Zeng Hao's example and rolled his eyes, "I won't tell you!"
"Tch!" Zeng Hao pushed Bai Mo, "I beg you, don't tell me. For a novice like you with zero experience, if you make any major discoveries, I'll drink Meihai."
Zeng Hao is a familiar person, and Bai Mo doesn't have the airs of a second-generation official. By the end of the morning, Zeng Hao already considers himself Bai Mo's big brother.
Bai Mo smiled. He didn't have many friends abroad, and Zeng Hao's way of getting along with him made him feel very comfortable.
Snapped!
The sound of a lighter sounded, and Zeng Hao handed the lighter to Bai Mo, obviously to help Bai Mo light a cigarette.
Bai Mo waved his hand and took the cigarette out of his mouth, "I don't know how to smoke."
"Damn it!" Zeng Hao's eyes widened, "Why do you accept my cigarettes if you don't know how to smoke? It's wasteful, you know? I'm so impressed!"
While speaking, Zeng Hao glanced at the cigarette in Bai Mo's hand. If Bai Mo hadn't held the cigarette in his mouth just now, he would definitely want it back.
The two stopped outside a convenience store, which was their last stop. Sun Xiaokai investigated the consumption records of the deceased Tang Xueqiong and found that she bought something at this convenience store at nine o'clock last night.
Entering the convenience store, Zeng Hao saw the cameras in two corners at a glance.
The boss was a man about forty years old. Zeng Hao showed him his ID and then began to look through the surveillance records.
Tang Xueqiong entered the convenience store at 8:55 last night, paid the bill and left at 9:00. No one else came in during this period.
"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual!" Zeng Hao said while copying the surveillance.
Bai Mo suddenly put his finger on the computer screen. He pointed at the ground near the door and said, "There is a problem here. You can play it back to 8:57."
Zeng Hao doubtfully adjusted the screen time to 8:57, and then played it at a slower speed. When the time came to 58 minutes, Zeng Hao found that the position pointed by Bai Mo had indeed changed a little, but for a moment he didn't know where to go. How to describe.
"The light here has changed." Bai Mo explained, "The lights are on inside the convenience store. The light source is the incandescent lamp inside the store, while the light on the road outside is orange. There is only a layer of transparent glass separating the convenience store from the outside. The orange light Part of the light will shine through the glass into the store, so there will be some color changes.”
"What do you mean?" Zeng Hao looked at Bai Mo in shock, "Someone is standing here blocking the light coming from outside?"
"Yes!" Bai Mo nodded affirmatively, "Painting requires special sensitivity to changes in light and color. No subtle changes can escape my eyes."
"It's a pity that there is no surveillance on the street." Zeng Hao sighed and continued to play the surveillance footage.
Bai Mo stared at the surveillance screen and said: "This person stood outside until Tang Xueqiong walked out of the convenience store 10 seconds before leaving. I feel like he left with her."
Bai Mo cast a questioning look at the boss, who quickly shook his head, "I can't see anyone over there from the point of view of the cashier, and I can't always pay attention to what's going on outside!"
Zeng Hao sneered and said angrily: "The murderer is so arrogant and has been following Tang Xueqiong for so long, but we haven't even found a single witness?"
Zeng Hao gradually clenched his fists. It was nearly 800 meters away from Tang Xueqiong's residence and had to pass through two alleys. However, they visited all morning and no one noticed that a girl was being followed by gangsters.
······
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Mo and Zeng Hao returned to the first team's office. In addition to a few people from the first team, there were also Qin Youwei and director Bai Yonghui in the office.
At the crime scene in the morning, Lu Wan's initial judgment was that it was a serial murder case. This word naturally alarmed Bai Yonghui.
So Bai Yonghui asked to attend a case seminar. He wanted to determine the nature of the case so that he could report to his superiors. Of course, he also wanted to see if his son would perform well.
"Let's start!" Bai Yonghui looked at Lu Wan and ordered.
Lu Wan nodded and looked around the crowd, "Let me talk about what everyone is most concerned about first! Sun Xiaokai did a screening through the police system and found no similar cases. Based on the clues and evidence currently available, it cannot be determined that this is a case. Serial murder case.”
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, but Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Wan expectantly, while Bai Yonghui did not show any signs of relaxation.
"But I personally think..." Lu Wan took a deep breath, "This is a serial murder case, and it's definitely not the first one!"
"Based?" Bai Yonghui asked.
Lu Wan said: "The murderer's modus operandi is very complete, and the way he cleans up traces is very professional, and he obviously has accumulated experience. Generally, serial murderers will have evolutionary behaviors throughout the series of cases, and I think the murderer fits this very well."
Bai Yonghui shook his head: "It's a bit one-sided. This alone cannot convince others."
Hearing this sentence, Bai Mo glanced at Bai Yonghui curiously, and he heard another meaning from it - his father believed in Lu Wan's judgment, but he needed enough evidence to admit Lu Wan's judgment.
It seems that my father has sufficient trust in this apprentice!
Bai Mo squinted his eyes and began to recall the entire case. If he thought about it in terms of serial murders, it seemed that some problems could be explained.
