If that's the case, then the fingerprint database in Hong Kong wouldn't contain the murderer's fingerprints.
Naturally, a comparison becomes impossible.
However, this is still good news.
There is at least a certain probability that the murderer in this case can be found directly.
There are now four victims.
I can't imagine how many more innocent people will be persecuted if this murderer continues to go unpunished.
They must stop the other party from committing further crimes and harming more people as soon as possible.
"Do you think these are writing?"
Ling Qian'er then looked away from the photos and addressed Ye Tianming and Gu Zechen.
"Uncertain, but most likely."
As Ye Tianming spoke, he looked at Gao Yanbo and asked:
"Yanbo, you are very knowledgeable. Do you recognize any of these characters?"
"Let me see." Gao Yanbo moved the folder in front of him and looked at it carefully.
After looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't recognize what the characters on it were.
"Could it be some kind of ancient hieroglyphic script?"
Gu Zechen guessed, "Or perhaps, some kind of runes used by a primitive tribe for sacrifices?"
"You can try to find it, but it's very difficult."
Ye Tianming suggested:
"Why not find a professional who specializes in this type of writing and ask them for help?"
"I'll make a call and ask."
Gao Yanbo suddenly remembered that one of his friends' teachers was a professor of ancient literature at Hong Kong University, who had some research on ancient scripts from all over the world. Maybe asking him would yield some results.
"Okay, go ask them quickly."
Ling Qian'er nodded and said.
Gao Yanbo took his phone and went to the side to make a call.
Ye Tianming and his two companions continued to study the "text" on the photos.
After a while;
Gao Yanbo is back.
“I’ve already told my friend that his teacher will be available around 6:30 tonight, so we can take these photos with us and ask him for advice.”
Gao Yanbo said.
It's 5:03 now.
Ling Qian'er glanced at the time on her watch, then closed the folder and said:
"Okay, let's head over now. There will definitely be traffic on the way, and it will be almost six o'clock by the time we get there."
Upon hearing this, the three of them had no objections.
At this time of day, Hong Kong's urban area will indeed be very congested.
It takes at least an hour to drive from Tsim Sha Tsui to the western part of Hong Kong Island.
So the four of them immediately set off, each driving to the home of Gao Yanbo's friend's teacher to inquire about the contents of these "texts".
It was a little after 6 p.m.
The four of them drove to a villa area in western Hong Kong Island.
Gao Yanbo's friend was already waiting at the door.
Upon seeing their arrival, they spoke to the security guards of the villa area and asked them to let the four of them in.
"Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Dr. Liu Xianmin, the deputy director of the Hong Kong Museum!"
On the way, Gao Yanbo introduced his friend to Ye Tianming and the others.
"Dr. Liu, thank you for your help this time."
Ling Qian'er nodded and greeted Dr. Liu.
"No trouble at all. Although I no longer specialize in ancient literature, I am still very interested in this area."
Liu Xianmin smiled and said:
"Yanbo, what did those ancient characters you mentioned on the phone look like? Could you show them to me?"
...
PS: Third update delivered!!!
Chapter 262: Ancient Writing? Gao Yanbo's Friend! Should Ye Tianming Join the Police Force?
My friend Gao Yanbo is also an academic. He studied ancient literature in college, but later switched to studying history. Now he works at the Hong Kong Museum, where he is in contact with all kinds of antiques and has a certain understanding of ancient writing.
Let him see; it might help them solve the case.
and;.
When we consult Professor Zhang later, Liu Xianmin will definitely see it too, so there's no need to hide it.
"Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Liu."
Ling Qian'er handed the folder to Liu Xianmin.
While Liu Xianmin opened the folder, Ye Tianming was also observing Liu Xianmin.
According to the suspense and detective movies he had seen in his previous life, the murderers in cases like this were usually elites with a certain social status.
For example, like this Deputy Curator Liu in front of us.
So he wondered if this Deputy Curator Liu might be the murderer in this jigsaw puzzle murder case.
So from the moment he met this person, he kept observing him.
However, he has not yet found anything suspicious about the other party.
Perhaps Ye Tianming was overthinking it.
After all, in real-life cases, there aren't many patterns that can lead to the identification of the culprit.
Unlike stories that are created, which can always reveal certain patterns.
Liu Xianmin carefully examined the text on the photo.
Although the photos are a bit disgusting, they are just photos, so the feeling is completely different from seeing a corpse in person.
Moreover, Liu Xianmin focused most of his attention on the text and did not observe other aspects of the corpse much.
After looking at it for a while, Liu Xianmin shook his head, unable to recognize what the characters on it were.
"Sorry! I can't help you."
As he spoke, he handed the folder back to Ling Qian'er.
Ling Qian'er and the others didn't have high hopes, after all, Liu Xianmin had only studied ancient literature for two years during his university years before switching to archaeology.
Although there are some connections between the two.
However, ancient literature is more specialized in one area, while archaeology covers a wider range of aspects.
"We've arrived. This is my teacher's house."
Liu Xianmin said.
As the car stopped, everyone followed Liu Xianmin into the villa in front of them.
Ding dong~!
Liu Xianmin stood at the door and rang the doorbell.
Soon, a woman's voice came from inside the room.
"Is that Seonmin? He's here."
After a moment, the door opened.
The person who opened the door for them was a middle-aged woman who looked to be around forty years old.
"Sister Xiaowen, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Liu Xianmin stood at the door and said.
"Senmin, you're always so polite. These must be your friends, right? Come on in!"
The woman named Xiaowen smiled and invited them into the house.
"This is my teacher's daughter."
Liu Xianmin also gave a brief introduction.
“This is my friend Gao Yanbo, these are his colleagues, and this is Officer Ling.”
Zhang Xiaowen said with a smile:
"You're here to see my father, right? He's in his study reading right now. Let me take you there."
"excuse me!"
Ling Qian'er said politely.
"It's alright. We don't usually have many guests. Your presence today has made the house a bit more lively. You can come often if you have time."
Zhang Xiaowen warmly led them to the study on the second floor.
When they arrived at the study door, Zhang Xiaowen stopped and knocked.
"Dad, Xianmin has arrived with his friends."
A moment later, an old man's voice came from the study.
"come in."
