chasing the dark

Chapter 177
I have to say that if you don't watch the surveillance video very carefully, this subtle change in the lake water can be easily overlooked.

"It's true that something heavy fell into the water." Ye Zhanzhou affirmed after reading it several times, "You can discover this, very good!"

Of course he was happy to be praised, but Jiang Yu still worried and said: "Jin Boli died from the night of September 11th to the early morning of the [-]th. This video is September No. [-]. Two days later, could it be that the murderer threw the murder weapon?" ?”

"Unless a child is mischievous, who would throw things into the lake for no reason?" Ye Zhanzhou asked back.

"How could the child come out so early..." Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "If it is the murderer, then he lives in Yushan Garden?"

"It's possible." Ye Zhanzhou nodded. "At four o'clock in the morning, most people were sleeping. Check other surveillance cameras in the park, and there may be clues."

After receiving the report, the Xinggu Branch made a backup of the surveillance video for a period of time after the incident, and transferred it when the case was handed over.

Jiang Yu gave the time slot, and Li Haotian quickly called out the part she wanted.

There are not many surveillance cameras still working in Yushan Garden, but because it is early in the morning, the pictures are not clear enough, and it will take some time to watch all the videos without omissions.

Ye Zhanzhou took half of the workload, and Jiang Yu watched the other half on his computer.

Until after five o'clock in the afternoon, my eyes were dazzled, and I couldn't find any clues.

Rubbing his sore and swollen eyes, Jiang Yu leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to calm his mind.

Not long after closing his eyes, Ye Zhanzhou's call came from the cubicle.

Jiang Yu hurried over, and saw him get up and move away from the seat in front of the desk: "Look at this paragraph, carefully."

Yiyan sat down and looked at the computer screen, and the night view of Yushan Garden appeared in front of her.

It was past four o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark, and the whole picture was similar to an old black and white movie.In the quiet park, apart from the light of street lamps, there are only mottled shadows of trees.

Jiang Yu pressed the play button, except for the slight flickering of the still tree shadows, there was not much change from the previous freeze frame.

As the picture passed frame by frame, she suddenly held her breath and stared at the lower left corner of the screen—a shadow appeared there.

The shadow entered the picture little by little, and finally a person walked out completely.

A hooded sweater with the hood buttoned on the head, revealing the brim of the baseball cap.The position of the camera is relatively high, and this kind of double occlusion makes it impossible to see the person's face clearly.But from the figure and walking posture, it is not difficult to see that this is a man.

It's a pity that the man didn't appear on the screen for a long time, and after a while, he turned into the path between the two buildings next to him.

Jiang Yu pulled the progress bar back a bit, let the screen stay at the moment when the man first appeared and pressed pause: "This... let Lin Jiale identify it?"

The hood of the sweater covered the top of the baseball cap, but the logo above the brim was not completely covered.

Lin Jiale once hid upstairs in the Beijin Building and saw the murderer coming downstairs. According to him, the murderer was wearing a baseball cap with letters on it, and the brim of the hat blocked his face.

"I have already sent it to Haotian for image processing." Ye Zhanzhou slightly bowed and pressed the mouse, "Look at this again."

He called up another video, which was a surveillance near the park wall.

The person who appeared in the screen was still tightly covered, and kept his head down.The surveillance captured his whole body, hooded sweater, slacks, and an eco-bag like that used in supermarkets.

The contents inside seemed to be a little heavy, and the bottom of the bag sank downwards, and it could be vaguely seen that it was round.

"Mr. Wu said that there was a square thing on the TV cabinet. Doesn't this look like it?" Jiang Yu muttered and leaned closer to the screen.

"Who stipulates that the things in the bag can't be put upside down?" Ye Zhanzhou knocked on her head, "Besides, it's suspicious to carry something out in the morning before dawn."

He dragged a floor plan of the park from his desk, and marked it with a pencil: "If you want to get from Building 25 to Jinghu Lake, if you don't take this road, you have to go around the central garden and turn back. Not to mention the distance, the central garden is more likely to meet people, even in the early morning, there is no guarantee that no one will pass by. The murderer may not know which camera is broken, but he must know where there is a camera. There are only these two on this road , and there are many more in the central garden."

The surveillance cameras in Yushan Garden were broken and were not repaired in time, but the cameras were all in place.Unless it is in charge of monitoring, even the people in the property may not know which is good and which is bad.

Throwing down the pencil, Ye Zhanzhou leaned against the table: "The murderer lives in Yushan Garden, or works here. In short, he is very familiar with the inside of the park."

"Why didn't he just throw away the murder weapon and wait two more days?" Jiang Yu asked.

Ye Zhanzhou stroked his chin and said after a while: "Call Lin Yuhua, we will go there when Lin Jiale is out of school. Go to Yushan Garden first in the morning."

"Does that have anything to do with the question I'm asking?"

"Of course it's related. Maybe you'll know why when you go to Yushan Garden tomorrow."

Jiang Yu blinked, but did not continue to ask.She knew that if Ye Zhanzhou didn't want to talk, it would be useless to ask.

……

He thought he was going to Jin Boli's house in Building 25, but when he arrived at Yushan Garden, Ye Zhanzhou abducted him directly to the property.

Hearing that he told Manager Geng that he wanted the detailed electricity bill of Jin Boli's house, a thought flashed in Jiang Yu's mind.

While waiting for someone to print, Ye Zhanzhou asked: "The day Jin Boli's body was found, did you go to the scene?"

Mentioning this incident, Manager Geng still had lingering fears: "Go, it's really scary to say, I haven't slept well for several days."

"Are the windows of her house open or closed?" Ye Zhanzhou asked again.

Manager Geng didn't even think about it, and said: "It's open. I told you not to touch anything at the time, protect the scene, and wait for the police to deal with it."

"Who was there when you arrived?"

"Security old Chen, he was on duty that day. The cleaner came to the property and said that someone was dead. I asked the building number and told the security with my hand to hurry over. Lao Chen happened to be in the park, and he was the first to arrive. Then I And the housekeeper, and two other security guards. The cleaner was terrified and didn't let her follow."

I also asked the housekeeper and a security guard who had been to the scene, and the answer to the question about the window was the same as Manager Geng's.

At this time, the detailed electricity bill has also been printed.

Jin Boli completed the transfer procedures with her former landlord in mid-June, and officially moved into her new home in early July.

From this time until September [-]th, the electricity consumption has been listed.

Looking at the date and numbers above, Jiang Yu felt that he understood something.

Since there were outsiders around, she asked cryptically, "Deputy Captain Ye, do you need to contact Director Shen?"

The corners of Ye Zhanzhou's lips curled up slightly: "Go and see the scene first, and then make a call."
