Chapter 705: Chapter 705: The Girl’s Jump from the Building Incident
After hearing Bai Wenrou’s deduction, Wei Xiaosu immediately asked, "What about the killer? Have you found any clues?"
"Based on the information we currently have about the case, there are few clues about the killer, because the crime scene is in a remote town that doesn’t have surveillance capturing the killer’s movements, and it’s a crime committed in the middle of the night. The killer chose dark and secluded places to strike! Additionally, the killer acts very quickly and there are no eyewitnesses to the crime, which has greatly increased the difficulty of solving the case. This is also why the case hasn’t progressed," Bai Wenrou explained.
Having said this, Bai Wenrou changed tack, "However, we did find something after retrieving surveillance footage from the only few monitored intersections in town. Among them, a suspicious video was captured. The footage is of an unlicensed vehicle, which we suspect might be the vehicle used by the killer. Look, this is the vehicle!"
As she spoke, Bai Wenrou used the infrared remote to pull up a segment of surveillance footage on the electronic screen.
She pointed at an indistinct van in the footage and explained, "This van appeared at all four crime scenes, and always late at night! Every time this van appeared, the victims would subsequently go missing inexplicably, and the timelines align perfectly. It’s far too coincidental to be a mere coincidence."
"Although there is no direct evidence that this van is the getaway vehicle driven by the killer, we have reason to suspect that the van could be the killer’s tool for committing the crimes! This is our preliminary conclusion."
Wei Xiaosu nodded, "Regardless, the van is definitely suspicious! By the way, where did the crimes take place?"
Bai Wenrou used the infrared pointer to indicate several red-circled areas on the electronic big screen, saying, "The first crime took place in Poma Town in the neighboring county to the south, the second in Shuangxi Town in Qingshi County, the third in Xiaogang Town in Huatai County, and the fourth in Xifeng Town in Jiulian County."
"Looking at the map, we can see that these four towns are not far from each other, and they are all located on the outskirts of the four counties. Even though they are separated by different counties, it would take at most half an hour to drive from one town to another! Therefore, according to our deduction, the killer should be hiding in one of the two intermediate counties, either Qingshi County or Huatai County, but the specific location and area remain to be determined."
Wei Xiaosu asked, "Do the victims have any impression of the killer? Or rather, do they know where they were taken?"
Bai Wenrou replied, "We’ve already investigated. The victims were unconscious during that time and are unaware of everything that happened around them when they went missing. However, according to the testimony of two victims, they seemed to have felt their vitality draining away while they were unconscious."
Hearing this, Wei Xiaosu’s brows were deeply furrowed.
It looked like Ye Xuan was right. The mastermind behind this was indeed the Ice Demon Old Man, capable of converting vitality.
Such behavior was simply too cruel and evil. He must be eliminated quickly to prevent more people from getting hurt!
"By the way, where were the four victims first discovered after they went missing?" Wei Xiaosu asked.
"In these four locations."
Bai Wenrou circled four places on the map with the infrared pointer.
Wei Xiaosu stepped closer to have a careful look at the four locations on the big screen, and after thinking, said, "These positions are all quite close to Zhubei Town in Qingshi County. We could start our investigation from here. What do you think, Team Leader Bai?"
Bai Wenrou smiled slightly, "I’m thinking the same as you. If the killer needed to choose a hiding place that was also convenient for operations, Zhubei Town would be a good spot."
"Good, then we will..."
Wei Xiaosu hadn’t finished speaking when a series of urgent ringing from a phone interrupted her.
Ring, ring, ring!
The sound came from Bai Wenrou’s jeans pocket. She pulled out her phone and glanced at it, recognizing the call from her close friend, Sun Xiaomeng, and immediately answered, "Hello, Xiaomeng, I’m in a meeting discussing the case. What’s up?"
However, an urgent voice came through the phone, "It’s not good! Sister Bai, Wang Dandan is thinking of jumping off the building to kill herself!"
"What? Jumping off a building?!"
Bai Wenrou’s eyebrows shot up, and her expression changed abruptly. She hurriedly said, "Calm her down immediately, I’m bringing people over right now!"
Wang Dandan was one of the victims of the case and the first missing girl in the series of incidences.
After speaking, without waiting for a reply, Bai Wenrou immediately hung up the phone and said to everyone present, "The meeting is adjourned! The victim Wang Dandan is emotionally unstable and is contemplating suicide by jumping off a building. We have to go there right now."
Wei Xiaosu immediately said, "Team Leader Bai, saving lives is the top priority. Ye Xuan and I will come with you!"
"Okay, follow me, let’s go now."
After responding, Bai Wenrou immediately instructed the members of the special case group to set out, and they hurried towards the hospital where Wang Dandan was located.
Ye Xuan got into Wei Xiaosu’s Hummer, following behind Bai Wenrou’s police car.
With the police car clearing the way, the group didn’t take long to arrive at the city hospital’s inpatient building unobstructed.
At the base of the inpatient building, many people had already gathered, pointing and whispering to each other as they looked up at the building.
After parking the car, they raced to the top of the inpatient department at top speed!
In less than three minutes, the members of the special case group reached the top floor of the inpatient building, already surrounded by people. Wang Dandan’s family members, along with doctors and nurses from the hospital, and the hospital’s president who had heard the news.
As Ye Xuan and the others arrived, the president in his white coat was standing at the front of the crowd, using a gentle tone to try to persuade a shivering woman sitting on the ledge of the building.
This woman was the first victim, Wang Dandan!
At that moment, Wang Dandan no longer had the visage of a sixteen-year-old girl. Her head, filled with disheveled gray hair, her face aged and lined with wrinkles, resembled that of a person in their fifties or sixties.
The once youthful girl had grown old before her time, a sight that truly wrenched the heart.
No one can escape the ravages of time; it’s an inevitable part of life.
Yet, for someone in the prime of youth to suddenly experience this draining of life, ageing to this extent, the mental trauma could only be immense.
Especially for a girl who was once young and beautiful, it’s an outcome she couldn’t accept! Under such a blow, Wang Dandan’s inner torment had left her spirit broken, completely devoid of the will to live and of any desire to continue.
Now, all she wanted was to end her tragic life as soon as possible, to have a chance at reincarnation in the next life.
At least she could lead the life of a normal person and not suffer such severe psychological trauma.
"Goodbye, Dad, Mom," Wang Dandan quietly said to herself in her heart.
