[Chapter 252, Whereabouts of the Vehicle]

Yu Hanjiang went to the police force to work overtime that night to investigate all the information about Zhou Yuanyuan, including her contact information, and the house information registered in her and her family. Xiao Lou was idle and simply returned to the police force with Yu Hanjiang.

The results of the investigation surprised the two.

——Zhou Yuanyuan happened to buy a house in Yuehu Villa Villa, but it was registered under the name of her father Zhou Jianqiang. This house is located in District C. Judging from the house distribution map provided by the property in the community, her house is very close to Lin Yiyan's villa, only one road away.

Yu Hanjiang said: "If there is a telescope, Zhou Yuanyuan can clearly grasp Lin Yiyan's movements at home. This confirms our inference. The murderer has already made a detailed murder plan. Lin Yiyan is a big star and is very busy. The time to return to Yuehu Villa is not fixed at all. If the distance is far, it is difficult to seize the opportunity to kill. Only people living in the villa area can monitor Lin Yiyan's movements at any time and find an opportunity to start after she comes back."

Zhou Yuanyuan and Lin Yiyan have personal grudges and have sufficient motives for murder. She also "counterced" to buy a house in Yuehu Villa Villa, and it is very close to Lin Yiyan, which is convenient for surveillance. She has sufficient opportunities to move mobile phones and commit crimes.

Xiao Lou said: "This Zhou Yuanyuan is very suspicious. If the murderer is her, she can take Bingcube to Lin Yiyan's residence. After all, the place where she lives is very close to Lin Yiyan... But since the two have personal grudges, will Lin Yiyan open the door for her in the middle of the night?"

Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "If he knocked on the door under the excuse of negotiation and pretended to reconcile with Lin Yiyan, maybe Lin Yiyan would open the door? After all, she would not have thought that Zhou Yuanyuan would actually kill someone."

Xiao Lou nodded in agreement: "It makes sense. The one who knows you best is often your enemy. It is not surprising that Zhou Yuanyuan knows Lin Yiyan's living habits. If she killed Lin Yiyan and drove away Lin Yiyan's car... Where would that car be now?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "When I went to the traffic police team yesterday, I asked them to help check the operation route and whereabouts of the 6k502 black sedan. There is no result yet. Let's go and see it together tomorrow."

Once again, after working overtime until the early morning, Yu Hanjiang drove Xiaolou home, and the two of them went back to rest.

The next morning, Yu Hanjiang drove to pick Xiaolou to the traffic police brigade on time.

Captain Zhang of the traffic police team was very familiar with Yu Hanjiang. When he saw him, he hurriedly came up and said with a smile: "Captain Yu, are you here to investigate the case so early?"

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "Old Zhang, is Lin Yiyan's car whereabouts?"

Captain Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "6k502, we have been following this car for a long time. At 4 a.m. last Tuesday, the car drove out of Yuehu Villa and went around the city for a whole circle, and finally disappeared at a fork in the road. The subsequent pictures were not available. That block is the most remote suburb in our city. It happened to be building roads recently and it was not time to install a camera."

The murderer went around the city and finally went to a remote area without cameras, which obviously deliberately caused difficulties to the investigation.

Captain Zhang called out the prepared surveillance camera and pointed to the license plate "6k502" taken in the screen and said: "From the surveillance camera at the fork, the car should have driven out of Binzhou City and headed to the next Yuezhou. I have contacted the traffic police in Yuezhou City. They checked it all day yesterday and just replied to me that the surveillance camera in the city could not find the information of the car."

When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "That is to say, this car disappeared out of thin air during surveillance?"

Captain Zhang touched his nose awkwardly: "Well, the murderer has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. Although our surveillance covers most important traffic roads, there are indeed many areas that do not have time to install cameras."

Lin Yiyan's car is the key to this case. It is very likely that the person who drove away was the murderer who killed her. If the car could be found successfully, it would be of great help to solve the case. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the car are still unknown and have disappeared magically under surveillance?

Yu Hanjiang took out his cell phone and looked at the map, and asked, "How many roads are there to go from Binzhou to Yuezhou City next door?"

Captain Zhang said: "Two. One is the newly built intercity expressway, which can be reached in one hour. The other is a mountain road. You need to cross Nanlin Mountain, which takes three and a half hours. Although Nanlin Mountain is not high, the terrain is steep and there are fourteen sharp bends on the mountain road, which is called the 'Four-Plate Road'. Most people rarely take this road, but the exciting racers will compete on this road..."

Speaking of this, the captain was stunned and blurted out: "Can the murderer crossed the mountain road in the middle of the night, right?"

A bad premonition arose in Yu Hanjiang's heart, and he asked in a deep voice: "There is no camera installed on the mountain road?"

Captain Zhang said helplessly: "That road was built more than ten years ago. The road conditions are not good, and there are no cameras on the entire mountain road. Many large trucks like to walk that road, and no one cares if it is overloaded."

Yu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes: "According to your words, there are fourteen sharp bends on this mountain road, so it is easy to have car accidents, right?"

Captain Zhang said: "That's right. There are several U-shaped curves on the mountain road, and there are no street lights. Few people dare to take this road at night. Lin Yiyan's car has never been found. Could it be... falling off the cliff?!"

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "It is possible, go to the bottom of the cliff immediately to look for it."

At Yu Hanjiang's request, the traffic police team and the criminal police team went out together and quickly headed to Shisipanshan Road.

The experienced Captain Zhang soon found something wrong at a bend. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou got off the car with him to check it out--there was a broken gap in a sharp-turned guardrail, which was enough to make a car break out of the bend and roll down to the bottom of the mountain.

Vehicles coming and going on the mountain roads. After a week, the wheel prints were very blurred and it was impossible to identify the traces on site, but there was obvious scratched black car paint at the gap in the guardrail.

Yu Hanjiang squatted down and looked carefully: "The black car paint is probably Lin Yiyan's car, go to the foot of the mountain to take a look!"

Several young traffic policemen quickly went down the mountain. After a moment, a report came from Captain Zhang's wireless microphone: "Captain, I found a car at the foot of the mountain. The fuel tank exploded and the whole car was burned to a point where only an empty rack was left. The license plate number was Bin a-6k502!"

Everyone: "..."

It was indeed Lin Yiyan's car.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and at the same time saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, several traffic police had already surrounded the scene and took photos and collected evidence. The vehicle rolled down the hillside. Finally, the fuel tank exploded and a fire broke out. The entire vehicle was burned down, so there was naturally not much evidence left in the car.

Fingerprints, body surface skin, hair, etc. cannot be collected at all.

If Yu Hanjiang hadn't specially checked, no one would have known about the wilderness, wild ridges, where there were few people, and where the vehicle fell off a cliff.

It's useless to find the car. There is still no clue to who drove the car here.

Yu Hanjiang looked at the burned car and touched his chin and said, "The murderer drove the car to a bend on the mountain road and pushed it down to destroy the evidence. Then how did she go back? It was such a remote mountain road that she could not walk home, so someone must have come to pick her up. Or, she put another car on the mountain road in advance and drove back."

Xiao Lou looked at the traffic police captain and asked politely: "Captain Zhang, don't you know there is a camera on the other side of the mountain road?"

Captain Zhang said: "Climbing this mountain is within Yuezhou City. Walking another two kilometers is the provincial road. There should be a camera there. I can ask my colleagues in Yuezhou to help check the information of the vehicles passing through this road last Tuesday."

Xiao Lou followed closely and said, "The car may not have gone to the next Yuezhou City." Captain Zhang was slightly stunned, and then heard Xiao Lou say calmly: "He can turn around halfway, walk the other way, and return to Binzhou."

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou with appreciation and said to the traffic police: "Captain Zhang, the investigation in Binzhou must continue. The car may turn around and return to Binzhou. If you want to enter the city after returning from the mountain road, you must pass through that fork. After 4 a.m. on the 17th, the vehicles passing by the fork will have to get all the information of the car owners. Please trouble you."

Team Zhang smiled and said, "It should be, I'll go back and check it for you now."

After collecting the certificate on site, everyone returned to the city.

Yu Hanjiang invited Xiao Lou to have a meal, and then he took the police force to find Zhou Yuanyuan.

Zhou Yuanyuan has been recuperating in the hospital after she had a car accident last year. Yu Hanjiang called the hospital. The hospital said that Zhou Yuanyuan had been discharged from the hospital half a month ago and no one answered her call. Yu Hanjiang simply took everyone to Yuehu villa area to try his luck.

He found Zhou Yuanyuan's house according to the door number. Yu Hanjiang asked his colleagues to wait outside the door and went up to ring the doorbell in person.

The person who came to open the door was an old man about 60 years old. His hair was gray and his face was wrinkled, and he looked very haggard. He looked at Yu Hanjiang in confusion: "Who are you?"

Yu Hanjiang showed his police officer's certificate and said, "Hello uncle, we are policemen, come to Zhou Yuanyuan to investigate a case."

The old man's face changed: "You have found the wrong place, Zhou Yuanyuan can't live here!"

Xiao Lou said in a gentle voice: "You are Zhou Yuanyuan's father, Mr. Zhou Jianqiang, right?"

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched suddenly twice. Before he could refute, he heard Yu Hanjiang say calmly: "Uncle, we are just a routine investigation and hope you can cooperate. After all, Miss Zhou is a public figure, and it is not good for your daughter to hinder the police from handling the case."

A voice came from inside the house: "Lao Zhou, who is it?"

The old man was silent for a moment, and seemed to feel that keeping the police outside the door was not conducive to his daughter's reputation. Then he opened the door and let Yu Hanjiang and others enter the house, and said to the old lady in the house: "Two policemen said they are here to investigate the case."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, turned around and poured a few glasses of water, and said with a smile: "Police officer, please sit down. What is the case? Our Yuanyuan was injured before and was discharged from the hospital some time ago. She didn't know what happened outside! What happened?"

Yu Hanjiang asked: "Is Miss Zhou here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a slim woman walked down at the stairs. She was wearing a simple home clothes and had a pair of slippers on her feet. Her hair was only a few centimeters long. She was obviously cut off during the operation.

She faced the sky with a few obvious scars on her face, which were traces left after surgical skin grafting and was still in the recovery period. But her facial features were still difficult to hide their delicate features, especially her eyebrows, which looked very imposing.

Zhou Yuanyuan walked to the living room, sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette casually, and said lightly: "What's wrong with the police officer looking for me?"

Yu Hanjiang asked bluntly: "Where is Miss Zhou in the past two days on the 16th and 17th last week?"

"Resting at home." A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Where can I go with my face like this terrifying look?"

"Can anyone testify for you?"

Just as his parents were about to come forward to speak, Zhou Yuanyuan said lightly: "I am alone at home, and no one can testify for me."

Zhou Jianqiang was stunned: "Yuanyuan, I was not last week..."

Zhou Yuanyuan interrupted him and said, "Dad, you and mom came to Binzhou to take care of me the afternoon before yesterday. The police can find the records by just checking your air tickets, so there is no need to make perjury for me." She looked at Yu Hanjiang and raised her eyebrows slightly: "I was indeed alone at home last week, and my agent and assistant were driven away by me. I want to be alone later."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, which was quite surprising. Most suspects would try every means to create a certificate of absence for themselves to clear their suspicion. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanyuan was so straightforward and admitted directly that no one could testify to her?

Zhou Yuanyuan acts so openly. Is the murder really nothing to do with her?

*******

[Chapter 253, the biggest doubt]

Yu Hanjiang carefully observed Zhou Yuanyuan's expression. The woman's eyes were cold and she spoke while smoking. If the scars on her face had not destroyed her delicate appearance, she would have been a female star with a very special temperament.

Judging from the information found, Zhou Yuanyuan's popularity is comparable to Lin Yiyan. She was nominated for "Best Actress" in the film festival at the same time. However, Lin Yiyan won the grand prize at that film festival. Zhou Yuanyuan unfortunately lost in the evaluation. Afterwards, Zhou Yuanyuan politely forwarded it->>

The official Weibo expressed congratulations. The relationship between the two at that time was not that stiff.

The turning point was last year.

Yu Hanjiang asked Shao Qingge to verify the clues provided by Qiao Xuening. The facts show that Qiao Xuening is right. The heroine of the big IP drama "Red Dust" was indeed Zhou Yuanyuan at the beginning. The director liked her very much. The pay and schedule had been negotiated. Zhou Yuanyuan's studio even had the contract. Zhou Yuanyuan also signed the name, and waited for the other party to sign and stamp it.

However, before the contract was sent out, the producer suddenly broke the contract and said that he had found another heroine.

The people in Zhou Yuanyuan's studio were busy for more than a month, but in the end they were exhausted. Naturally, they were so angry that they felt tight and said to the producer that the other party's reason was that Zhou Yuanyuan's image did not match the heroine's image.

But since the director has taken a fancy to her, it proves that she can control the heroine of this drama, there must be something inside.

Shao Qingge checked through his own relationship network and finally concluded that the reason why Lin Yiyan was able to intercept the truth was because she was arranged by her agent to attend a drink party and accompanied the investor to drink. As for what happened in the drink party, no one knew. After that, the investors of the show firmly asked the director to change the heroine, and the director could only be obedient with the other person's money.

Lin Yiyan has both appearance and acting skills. If she replaces Zhou Yuanyuan as the heroine, the drama will not collapse at least. So, Lin Yiyan happily signed a contract, and Zhou Yuanyuan’s project that was prepared for a month was so bad.

After learning the truth, Zhou Yuanyuan was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She had a rear-end collision on the way to the airport. She was seriously injured and had a laceration on her face, which needed skin grafting.

Not many people know about this secret. To the outside world, Zhou Yuanyuan’s agent said it: an accident.

Lin Yiyan is also leaning on the big tree of "Starlight Entertainment Company". Obviously, Zhou Yuanyuan's agent does not want to publicly fight against Starlight Entertainment Company, so she can only swallow her breath first.

Now it seems that Zhou Yuanyuan has recovered well, but the scars on her face are difficult to hide, and her star path should have been ruined.

Yu Hanjiang got straight to the point and asked: "Ms. Zhou, how is your relationship with Lin Yiyan? Have you seen her recently?"

Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. She probably didn't expect the other party to ask about Lin Yiyan. She frowned slightly, and pushed the cigarette butt in her hand hard in the ashtray, and said hoarsely: "She and I are not from an economic company, and I am not familiar with each other in private."
