Chapter 1517 Non-technical problems
It was already dark, but the temporary office of the special dispatch team was still busy.
"The victims in the video are all young women," Wu Xiumin pointed to the whiteboard and introduced, "The oldest is 31 years old, and the youngest is only 19 years old!
"When they disappeared, most of the victims had already started working, and only Miao Xiaowen was a student who had just graduated from high school.
"They all disappeared in the areas where they live, and their years of disappearance vary. The farthest can be traced back to 19 years ago, and the most recent one is 14 years ago. That is to say..." Wu Xiumin pointed to a set of data on the whiteboard, "They all disappeared between 1999 and 2004, with a span of up to five years."
"Seven people have been killed in 5 years," Cui Lizhu gritted her teeth with hatred, "Another murderous demon! He harshly killed the innocent girl in Huaji. This murderer is even more hateful than Li Fei and Han Kuan!"
"Because no body was found by the victims, and they were far apart from each other," Wu Xiumin continued, "so, these cases have never been linked!"
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked, "Does the victim have any similar characteristics?"
"Well, different ages, different identities, different family environments, different appearance, body shape and wear when they disappeared," Wu Xiumin replied. "If there are any similarities, there are only young women and cheerful personalities!"
"Well..." Zhao Yu analyzed, "Just like Han Kuan of the Demon Case, the profession of the murderer should be closely related to the disappearance of these girls!
"The targets are also likely to be temporarily selected..."
"However, there is still too little information at present," Wu Xiumin admitted, "I will check the detailed information of each victim in detail, screen the victim-related personnel appearing in each file to see if there are any common people.
"Perhaps the real murderer is hiding among these people!"
"Yeah! I'll leave it to you, Sister Wu." After Zhao Yu gave affirmation, he asked Zeng Ke again, "By the way, how is the video analysis going? Can you determine the order of the video?"
"According to preliminary information," Zeng Ke replied, "the publisher uploaded the videos in chronological order, like they were randomly posted.
"The interval between the videos released is not fixed. There are those that are posted one or two days apart, and there are only more than ten days apart. There are even two videos that are posted in succession, which look very casual!
"Well..." Zeng Ke looked at his own information, "The earliest video was posted four months ago, and the last one was Miao Xiaowen's video two days ago!"
"So, through the video," Zhao Yu said, "Can you see the age of the shooting?"
"Video experts are still studying," Zeng Ke replied, "There is no clear time in the video. However, some experts, through preliminary identification, believe that the shooting time of each video should be shortly after the victim disappeared, not many years later!"
"Oh...that means..." Choi Lizhu said, "After kidnapped those girls, the murderer killed them quickly! What a hateful cold-blooded killer!"
"Yes," Zeng Ke nodded, "The girls in the video are all very young, and they are not much different from the photos from the same period!"
"Then..." Zhao Yu thought about it and asked again, "Can you tell which device was taken with? What type of camera? Are the 7 videos taken by the same camera?"
"This... takes time!" Zeng Ke said helplessly, "The video has obvious traces of transcoding and is also very serious distortion. I don't know whether it was done by the publisher deliberately or to reduce the file capacity and facilitate uploading.
"Anyway, it is difficult for us to find out the model of the camera and its original code rate based on the videos downloaded online alone. However, judging from the existing resources, the resolution of these 7 videos is the same, and the image proportions and color brightness are exactly the same. Therefore, some experts believe... it may be shot by the same camera!"
"The murderer is so confident..." Ran Tao frowned and said, "Can this guy be hiding abroad? Because he is poor and has a difficult life, he sells the crimes he has committed before for money?"
"Even if this kind of bastard hides on the moon, he has to be caught back!" Cui Lizhu was still so angry that she was itchy.
Tsk tsk...
Looking at the numerous information, for some reason, Zhao Yu always felt a strange feeling, and felt that there seemed to be something in this video murder case, which was a bit unexplainable...
What kind of mentality will a serial murderer make his murder video public?
Is it purely show off?
Or...what is this guy suffering from terminal illness? Before he died, would you like to challenge the police?
"Team leader!" At this time, Miao Ying suddenly came to Zhao Yu and said, "We encountered a non-technical problem!"
"What does it mean for a non-technical problem?" Zhao Yu was puzzled.
"That's right. When the police determined that Miao Xiaowen's murder video might be a real crime, they applied to block the website and forcefully block the murder video!
"But the local leaders think that this website may be an important way to find the murderer, so it was not approved." Miao Ying said embarrassedly, "Now, this problem has fallen on us. Since there are new murder videos, it may be even more difficult for us to make this decision..."
oh……
Zhao Yu immediately understood the significance of this non-technical problem. Video murder cases have already appeared. If they ignore them, more people will see these murder videos, which is very unfair to the deceased.
However, if the website is blocked and the spread of videos is stopped, it is very likely to alarm the publisher and escape, which is extremely unfavorable to the detection work.
This is indeed a difficult problem!
As the saying goes, when one moves the whole body, this seemingly ordinary decision will seriously affect the direction of the case.
"Based on my experience," Wu Xiumin suddenly said, "The website must be blocked, and we can't decide at all! That's a real murder video!
"Shielding it is not only to safeguard the dignity of the dead, but also to prevent malicious spread!
"Once people know the authenticity of the video, then the bad consequences it brings are not something we can afford!
"Look at it, the above will definitely put pressure on us!"
"But..." Miao Ying shook her head, "Websites and videos are the key to our solving cases, and we cannot easily ban them!"
"I think so," Cui Lizhu echoed, "If Miao Xiaowen's younger brother hadn't sneaked on the website and found this video and recognized his missing sister for many years, then God knows when will anyone report the case?
"Since it has been around for so long, why should we block the website and block our own path?"
"Xiao Cui, it's not as simple as you think," Wu Xiumin said seriously, "I don't know, but I know that I don't do anything in the future, that's our problem!"
"I don't accept it," Choi Lizhu pouted, "We are not doing anything, we want to catch criminals!"
"Let's do this..." After discussion, Zhao Yu finally made the decision and made the final decision, "Wait a few more days, wait a few more days!
"In the past few days, we must find information about the publisher as soon as possible! Even if it is only a little bit, it can buy us time!"
"Well... that's all!" After Miao Ying agreed, a determined expression appeared on her face, "We need to speed up! We must solve the video murder case before closing the website!!!"
