The scope of the investigation expanded, and the manpower of the first team was obviously insufficient. Not long after Bai Yonghui left, the captain of the second team, Lin Feng, came with his men to help.
Although Bai Yonghui put no pressure on Lu Wan, his anxiety could be seen just by his order to directly ask the second team to assist in the investigation.
Meihai City's tourism industry has developed rapidly over the past year, nourishing many industries. The emergence of every enterprise means a need for employees. With so many vacancies, the migrant population has naturally increased sharply.
The job stability of migrant workers is very poor. They are still working today, but they may disappear tomorrow. Therefore, unless someone reports the case, it is too difficult to find out about missing persons through companies.
Lu Wan knew very well that this was the hidden danger of explosive development. When there were more people, there would be more cases.
Vaguely, Lu Wan had a hunch that this difficult case was just the beginning.
Just when everyone in the criminal police team was busy, some reporters came to the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
Information about the case was leaked, and relevant information about the case began to appear on some forums in Meihai City. These reporters were the first problem for information leakage.
Fortunately, Bai Yonghui was prepared and asked the head of the Publicity Department to stop these reporters immediately.
For a whole day, there was no progress in the investigation.
It was the same on the second day. By the third day, many people were already exhausted. Some people in the second team even began to doubt Lu Wan's profile.
The only good thing is that after only two days, the reporters outside the gate of the Public Security Bureau have lost their patience, and there are fewer posts on the forum about the crisis of women living alone.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Bai Mo was awakened by the rapid ringing of his cell phone.
Bai Mo squinted and picked up the phone. He didn't pay attention to who called and pressed the answer button.
"Hello?" Bai Mo said weakly. Starting from the second night, Lu Wan asked everyone to go home and rest. At this moment, Bai Mo was lying on his bed.
The sound of hurried footsteps and Zeng Hao's breathy voice came from the phone, "A murder has occurred in Building 4 of Liansheng Community, Huitong Road. Come here quickly. It's a home invasion and murder!"
······
Huitong is located in the east of Xiacheng District, nearly ten kilometers away from Tongzilou where Tang Xueqiong was killed.
Bai Mo felt his heartbeat speeding up while sitting in the taxi. He could even feel the vibration from his heart through his chest.
Serial murder case!
This was a speculation given by Lu Wan a long time ago. Although Bai Mo accepted this speculation, he truly accepted the fact of the serial murder case when the second case actually happened.
Liansheng Community used to be a luxury community in Meihai City. At that time, there was no distinction between Shangcheng District and Xiacheng District. With the emergence of Shangcheng District, Liansheng Community gradually declined, and now it is just a community with mostly tenants.
After getting off the bus, Bai Mo put on his ID card, which he got just yesterday.
It's a pity that Bai Mo has so little experience that he even ignored the fact that reporters have been wanting to interview the criminal police team these days.
As soon as Bai Mo put on his ID, more than a dozen people immediately ran over to him, surrounding him.
A reporter almost put the miniature microphone in his hand into Bai Mo's mouth, "Excuse me, police officer, is this a follow-up to the serial murder case three days ago?"
Others immediately pointed their cameras at Bai Mo.
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment. He had been interviewed abroad, and they were all about his work, so he instinctively thought that he should tell the truth to the reporter.
Just when Bai Mo was nodding and ready to answer, a hand grasped his shoulder.
"No comment!" Lu Wan's cold voice sounded in Bai Mo's ears.
A trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of many reporters. They could all see that the handsome male policeman in front of them was ready to admit it.
"Captain Lu Wan, does "no comment" mean that the police need to keep the details of the serial murder case secret?" A reporter asked loudly, not wanting to give up.
"I only know that if you are still stopping me like this, you are preventing us from carrying out our official duties." Lu Wan's voice became sharper, completely losing the gentleness he usually treated his subordinates.
Bai Mo clearly felt that many reporters showed fearful expressions, as if they were afraid of Lu Wan. Immediately afterwards, these reporters actually made way for them.
Lu Wan pushed Bai Mo hard, and Bai Mo took a staggering step forward, and then walked into the community with Lu Wan's push.
The two came to the downstairs of No. 4 and walked into the stairs covered with small advertisements.
Building 4 has a total of 7 floors, with 4 households on each floor, two stairwells, and no elevator.
The crime scene was at No. 4 on the 7th floor. Lu Wan walked in front of him silently. Bai Mo felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
"Sister Lu Wan? Did I make a mistake just now?" Bai Mo asked in a low voice. These days, Bai Mo has always called Lu Wan Lu Li. This time he changed the title, obviously to express that this is a private issue.
Lu Wan looked back at Bai Mo and sighed softly, "You have no experience in dealing with reporters. I don't blame you. Don't think too much."
After saying this, Lu Wan continued to go upstairs, and Bai Mo knew better and did not ask any further questions. He could feel that Lu Wan was in a bad mood. However, Lu Wan has made it clear that she is not angry because of Bai Mo, so the reason for her anger can only be the case.
As soon as he arrived on the seventh floor, Bai Mo heard a woman crying.
The corridor is a bit narrow, and the door of 704 is full of people. A girl with long blond hair on the outside is squatting on the ground crying. Zeng Hao stands next to her and hands her a tissue.
The girl looks to be in her twenties, with dyed blonde hair. She wears a denim jacket on her upper body and a denim skirt on her lower body. Under the skirt are long legs wrapped in black fishnet stockings and a pair of brown boots on her feet.
Seeing Lu Wan and Bai Mo coming over, Zeng Hao stood up and made a brief report.
The reporter was this sexy blonde woman named Liu Xin, who rented a house in 704 with two girls. The other two girls were named Duan Xuanxuan and Wang Feiya.
Liu Xin had a party with friends last night. After the party, she went to a bar and didn't come back all night. When she came back this morning, she found that her two roommates had been killed.
Liu Xin gave an important message. She said that when she left last night, there happened to be a man wearing a mask at the door. He said he was from the community property management. The neighbors downstairs found that their bathroom was leaking and wanted the property management company to come up and see if it could be repaired. .
The man was indeed wearing the work clothes of a property maintenance worker. Liu Xin didn't think much about it. Her friend kept urging her at that time, so she said something to Duan Xuanxuan in the room and left.
Zeng Hao glanced at Liu Xin, who was still crying, and sighed: "It's confirmed that the community property management did not come to 704 for maintenance yesterday. In other words, the man Liu Xin saw must be the murderer."
After saying that, Zeng Hao looked at Bai Mo, "Can you draw it?"
