Chapter 44: The Mysterious Photographer

Cherry has also been angry with Xiao Wei in the past two days, so she didn't call Xiao Wei or send WeChat. But on the afternoon of the second day of the crime, Xiao Wei still didn't have any news, and Cherry was a little anxious.

She first sent Xiao Wei on WeChat, asking her if she would come back to live tonight, and said that she wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Wei. But Xiao Wei didn't reply, so Cherry called Xiao Wei again, but the other end of the phone showed that the user had turned off.

Cherry realized that something was wrong, and when it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Cherry made something to eat in the kitchen, and after she wanted to eat, she called her cousin and told him that Xiao Wei might be missing. But when she was in the kitchen, Jane Gao had already made several phone calls to Cherry.

This is what happened to Xiao Wei before he disappeared. Cherry told Long Yun all this in detail.

The police did not find anything suspicious at Xiao Wei's home, but collected her hair on Xiao Wei's pillow so that she could do a DNA comparison with the corpse when she returned.

After the investigation, Long Yun took Cherry's record and led the team back to the task force first, and after Jian Gao entered the house, he helped Cherry pack up her things and took her back to her residence.

Cherry would stay at the Jane Gow house for a few more days, as she couldn't leave Syracuse just yet.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, Long Yun, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came back, because she was worried that Cherry would be afraid at home, so Long Yun didn't ask Jian Gao to pick her up.

After Long Yun came in, Jian Gao went up and took Long Yun's coat, Long Yun looked at the cherry, she was sitting on the sofa in a daze at the TV on?

Jian Gao told Long Yun that Cherry had been sitting like this since she called, holding her mobile phone in her hand, and from time to time she would make a phone call or send a WeChat message. Of course, these are all called to Xiao Wei.

Long Yun walked over to Cherry and sat down, and Jian Gao went straight back to the bedroom to avoid it.

"Sister Yun is back?" Cherry said to Long Yun.

"Well, are you hungry, sister will make you some supper?" Long Yun said.

Cherry shook her head, she looked at Long Yun and asked, "Sister Yun, tell me, is something wrong with Xiao Wei?" Is she dead? ”

Long Yun could see that the relationship between Cherry and Xiao Wei was very good, and it was estimated that he couldn't hide Cherry at this time. So Long Yun nodded.

Cherry's tears immediately spilled, and she immediately hugged Long Yun and cried bitterly. Long Yun has been comforting Cherry, and it took a long time for Cherry to stop crying, but she was still sobbing.

"Sister Yun, how did Xiao Wei die? Who killed her? Cherry asked, wiping tears from her eyes.

"Xiao Wei's body was found in the park by the river yesterday, and the suspect has not been caught yet, and we are still investigating." Long Yun said.

But Long Yun didn't tell Cherry about Xiao Wei's miserable death, so Long Yun was afraid that Cherry would be even more unbearable.

Cherry asked Long Yun some more questions, and Long Yun told Cherry what she could say, and she didn't say what she couldn't say.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Long Yun finally put the cherry to sleep. After that, she went back to the room with Jane. At this time, Jian Gao had not slept and was waiting for Long Yun.

Because Jian Gao also had to "report" to Long Yun in detail, today's trip to Allure International Plastic Surgery Agency, because the incident in the afternoon happened too suddenly, Jian Gao didn't have time to make a detailed report to Long Yun.

Jian Gao talked about how he talked to Ruyun in the afternoon, how Ruyun cooperated after that, and finally took the initiative to say that Tang Xiaowei hadn't gone to work for a few days. Of course, about the paragraph where Ruyun "teased" Jian Gao, Jian Gao didn't say a word.

When Jian Gao finished speaking, Long Yun and Jian Gao actually felt that there must be something wrong with this Ruyun. But the clues are very vague, what role Ruyun plays in this case, is it a murderer or ......

In the end, Jian Gao asked Long Yun if he could apply to his superiors, he wanted to participate in the investigation of this case.

Long Yun smiled after hearing this, and she said to Jian Gao, "Honey, is your curiosity coming up again?" You can think about it, once there is a real problem with Allure International Plastic Surgery Agency or that Ruyun, it is difficult to say whether your advertising order can continue. ”

Jian Gao also smiled after hearing this, and he said: "It's okay, I'm much more interested in knowing the truth than making money, can you help me?" ”

"Don't help!" Long Yun said coquettishly.

"Ask you one last time, can you help me?" Jane asked again with a wicked smile.

"Don't help, don't help, just don't help...... What can you do with me? Long Yun said.

"Well, let's see what I can do to you." Jane Goh said with a smile.

......

The next morning, Long Yun went to work after breakfast. After Jian Gao woke up at eight o'clock, he made something to eat for Cherry, stayed with her for a while, and told Cherry not to go out if she was okay these days, and to drive Cherry home when she was okay in a few days, and just to go home to see her aunt and parents.

After placing the cherries, Jane Gao went back to the newspaper office, because a colleague called him and said that there was something important.

After Jian Gao returned to the newspaper, editor Xiao Xia greeted her, and she said to Jian Gao: "Editor-in-chief Jian, someone anonymously sent a photo of the faceless female corpse case by the river the day before yesterday to the newspaper, and the editor-in-chief asked if you would see the newspaper tomorrow?" ”

After hearing this, Jian Gao was not very happy in his heart, he thought that it must be the morning of the day, which boring onlookers took the photo, and now the case is still in the process of being solved, how can it be spread to the outside world?

Jian Gao told Xiao Xia: "It can't be sent, and now the case is still in the process of being solved, wouldn't it cause chaos to the public security department if it is sent?" I'll go and talk to the editor-in-chief. ”

"But?" Xiao Xia said with some hesitation.

"But what?" Jane Gao asked.

"However, I heard that many media have received these photos at the same time, if we don't post them, other families will also send them!" Xiao Xia said.

When Jian Gao heard this, this was a little interesting, this kind of technique was not like something that ordinary onlookers could do, and Jian Gao immediately asked Xiao Xia to lead him to see those electronic photos.

On the way, Xiao Xia told Jian Gao that these photos were received in the newspaper's submission mailbox at half past nine in the morning, and there were more than ten photos in total, all of which were photos of the scene of the faceless female corpse, and they were taken very clearly.

Xiao Xia said that she was also shocked when she saw the face of the female corpse, it was simply too cruel.

"What? You say the photo captures the face of a dead body? Jian Gao hurriedly asked Xiao Xia.

"yes? There are several photos taken of the main entrance of the corpse! Xiao Xia replied puzzled.

Jian Gao hurriedly came to Xiao Xia's computer and asked Xiao Xia to open the photo to show him. As soon as Jian Gao looked at these photos, he immediately felt that the person who took the photos was definitely not simple.

Because the dead body in the photo is floating in the river, that is to say, although these photos were taken in the morning, they were taken before the police salvaged them, and what is even more strange is that in these photos, the front and back of the corpse are there, but the corpse will not turn by itself, and the wind is not strong that day, so who turned the corpse?

Most likely, this is the photographer, so who is this photographer?

Jian Gao asked Xiao Xia how she knew that other media had also received these photos?

Xiao Xia explained that they have a group of classmates, many of whom work in the media.

In the morning, a classmate who works in the city said in the group that he received a photo of the faceless female corpse the day before yesterday, Xiao Xia checked the mailbox, and then she found out, and then she knew that many media had received these anonymous email photos.

Jian Gao hurriedly called Long Yun, told him about the incident, and told Long Yun to report it to the city bureau immediately, and asked the city bureau to notify the major media not to report this matter.

After listening to Jian Gao's words, Long Yun also told Jian Gao to send these photos to her immediately, because the task force wanted to do a technical analysis of these photos.

Although Jian Gao notified the public security department in a timely manner, these photos were still widely disseminated through the Internet and some software channels, and some of the public opinion spearheads were pointed at the soon-to-be-opened, the most high-end Allure International Plastic Surgery Institution in Syracuse.

At noon, Jian Gao received a call from Long Yun, in which Long Yun told him that the city bureau had approved Jian Gao to join the task force for this case, and he also greeted the newspaper leader as usual, and asked Jian Gao to go over immediately.

Jian Gao put down the phone and immediately drove to the task force.

When he arrived at the task force, except for Long Yun, many of the other team members were already old acquaintances of Jian Gao, and in private, they either called Jian Gao brother-in-law or brother-in-law.

"Here comes Xiao Jane, sit down, the case analysis meeting is about to start, and I'm waiting for you." Jiang Donglai said to Jian Gao.

Jane Gao smiled and nodded to everyone before sitting down.

Jiang Donglai looked at Long Yun and said, "Long Yun, let's tell everyone about it first." ”

Because Jian Gao probably knew about the previous case, Long Yun didn't start from the beginning, he just made a summary speech about today's discovery.

The results of the quick DNA comparison came out in the morning, and the DNA of the hair extracted from the pillow in Xiao Wei's house and the comparison results of the deceased showed that it was the same person, and the deceased was Tang Xiaowei.

The task force has also notified Tang Xiaowei's family in Songyuan City, Jilin Province, while her mother is on a bus to Syracuse.

Now that the source of the corpse has been determined, the next step is to find the two corpse throwers, and in the surveillance, it has been confirmed that the two body throwers are tall women of similar stature, both about 170 cm tall.

Both men were wearing dark coats at the site of the dumping, and due to the clarity and angle of the surveillance, neither took a picture of the facial features of the dumper.

However, there was no sign of the two leaving in the nearby surveillance. This suggests that the two body throwers may have changed their clothes and left the scene by transport, or they left the next day after there were more pedestrians. This all shows that the person who dumped the corpse that night must have a foothold.

In the past few days, the task force has also coordinated the police to conduct a carpet inspection of the surrounding residential areas and business premises, but nothing has been achieved. Now there is only one place that has not been investigated, but corresponding monitoring has also been made, and this place is currently the most suspicious Allure International Plastic Surgery Agency.

The next one is the situation reported by Jian Gao today, Long Yun also checked those photos, first according to the photographer's point of view, the photographer was standing on the shore, and then took it from different angles.

Based on the angle of light in the photo, it can be inferred that the shooting time should be between 5:40 and 6 in the morning, that is, before dawn and the park opens.

Although the weather has just turned cold, there are almost no people in the park at this time, but it is easy to get in.

Looking at the situation where the corpse was turned over, the photographer should have turned the corpse with a wooden stick or something like that, which may have been an action made by the photographer for the needs of full-angle shooting, which shows that the photographer was really bold enough.

In one of the photographs, half of the projection of the photographer was leaked due to the illumination of the light, and it was clear that the photographer was a man.

In fact, Long Yun also found a set of clear male footprints at the scene of the crime at that time, but there were no signs of men in the surveillance on the first day, so he didn't take it seriously.

After Long Yun looked at the photos today, he found that the photographer was too smart. That night, the body was thrown into the river and drifted down the river for three or four meters before being left there by the dock, and the photographer the next day cleverly avoided the surveillance, in fact, as long as his body was two to the left, it would have been photographed by the surveillance. Therefore, the photographer was not found in the surveillance of the second day of the police inspection.

Next, tracking down the photographer has also become one of the clues to solve the case, because this person did not choose to call the police after finding the body, but took it here, and the clarity of the photo should have been taken by a DSLR camera.

Moreover, this person not only did not report to the police at that time, but also sent these photos to a number of media outlets a few days after the incident, and he was so familiar with the email addresses of these media outlets, this person may be a reporter, so why did he do this?
