Chapter 1136 - 1067: Empty
"Jiang Yuan, I’ve organized the travel records of Victim No. 1. She went to quite a few places and traveled frequently. Each trip lasted at least three days, with seven-day trips being more common."
Walking through the corridor, Liu Jinghui explained the situation to Jiang Yuan.
Cao Chujun took a team to track down the divorced suspect, but the task force wouldn’t halt its operations because of that. Unless the perpetrator is confirmed and apprehended, the team cannot pause every time valuable clues emerge.
Liu Jinghui, after all, is renowned for his deductive skills, especially for deducing until the very last moment. In fact, there was once a case where the criminal investigation team arrested a suspect and announced the cessation of the task force’s work, but Liu Jinghui kept reasoning and eventually proved the suspect was not the perpetrator. Since such stories are sensitive, they are rarely boasted about in the industry.
Regardless, Liu Jinghui has his own rhythm and working style as a detective, and the Jiang Yuan Cold Case Squad is no exception.
Jiang Yuan had long grown accustomed to cooperating with Liu Jinghui in this manner. He took the records organized by Liu Jinghui casually, flipping through them as he walked, and asked, "Trips lasting more than three days—what’s significant about them?"
"Their unit allows employees to take an extra day off after trips lasting over three days since traveling equates to overtime." Liu Jinghui explained, striving to help Jiang Yuan understand the suspect’s environment at the time of the crime and speculated further, "I think it’s still about that one thing. An extra day off means one more day for leisure. Plus, her trips were far from lonely; her schedule was likely packed."
"Did you manage to find her schedule?" Jiang Yuan suddenly thought aloud, "If her schedule is that packed, she must have some way to keep track."
"Found it long ago. She used some personal encryption without names or identifiers. I had someone look at it; we suspect it’s mainly time-related."
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Encryption? I’m familiar with that too."
