Of course, this doesn't include those online private car owners they collaborate with.

Based on the killer's method of disposing of the body and the packaging used, Luo Fei believed it was more likely the suspect had a private vehicle.

Because if the body was chopped up and packed into boxes or bags, blood stains would inevitably seep out.

If he had used public transport to dispose of the body, it would have easily attracted the attention of those around.

But the police had never received reports of any such incidents, so Luo Fei focused directly on the drivers.

Upon arriving at the Bangbang Moving Company, they quickly met the person in charge after revealing their identity.

"Hello, I'm the manager here, Ge Quan. I wonder what brings you two here?"

A middle-aged man in a suit with a friendly smile extended his hand to them.

"Manager Ge, hello. We want to learn if you have received moving requests from outside the city?"

"Oh, we've definitely had those."

"Our Bangbang Moving Company has branches all over the country, and customers come to us from all over, whether it's within the city or outside work, we take them all."

"How about Huang Xu City and Wuyang City? Have there been any orders from these two cities in the past two years?"

"Yes, absolutely. We're so close to Huang Xu City and Wuyang City, and many people move to these cities due to work changes, so we frequently receive requests from these places."

"So, your moving drivers often travel between this city and those two cities?"

"Yes, indeed."

Luo Fei nodded at the words and asked calmly, "Could you do me a favor and provide me with the moving records of these two cities for the past three years, as well as the information of your online and offline moving drivers?"

"Of course, including those who have resigned. In short, any driver who has worked here in the past three years needs to be counted."

Hearing this request, Ge Quan found it somewhat strange.

However, he didn't ask much and promptly provided Luo Fei with two sets of documents as requested.

After thanking him, Luo Fei pretended to look around and observe a few workers who were on duty in the company.

The reason he took the trouble to investigate personally was in hopes that he might bump into the killer by chance, saving them a lot of hassle.

Unfortunately, there was no such coincidence waiting for him.

So, after circling the moving company, he still found nothing suspicious.

Upon leaving, he began to wonder if he should change his approach.

After all, from yesterday to today, he had no results. It wasn't just the effort but the lack of progress that was frustrating.

Just then, Zhao Donglai called.

"Luo Fei, where are you now? Come back to the station immediately; the paternity test reports of those bodies are out."

"Okay, Team Zhao, we'll head back right away."

After hanging up quickly, Luo Fei told Zhang Wei, "Hurry back to the police station; the paternity test results are in."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei was excited and swiftly drove back to the police station.

When they returned, the others had mostly arrived as well.

Zhao Donglai immediately gathered everyone in the conference room.

"Comrades, the results from Team Zhao Tian's side have just come out."

Holding up a thick stack of reports, he excitedly announced to everyone, "After comparison, these seven bodies match the families who came today, except for Zhou Lin."

"This means we can confirm that these missing women were all brutally murdered and dismembered by the same killer."

Zhao Donglai spoke while pulling out the records he and Liu Hua had analyzed earlier.

"Today, analyzing these records revealed a few points of concern."

"Among the missing, their jobs... along with the times and ways they disappeared, share many similarities, indicating that the killer was premeditated and prepared in his actions."

"This also proves that the direction of our earlier reasoning is roughly correct. Let's carefully analyze the case further..."

"Firstly, the killer may have had some misfortune, leading to a disdain for women in jobs like escorting or being a technician, thus targeting women in such professions."

"Team Zhao, if that's the case, then the two college students don't fit the profile." Lu Xingyu countered.

His argument had some merit, and Zhao Donglai was thinking of how to analyze this matter logically when Luo Fei spoke up.

"Then let's broaden the criteria. From these records, we can see that the two female students were likely taken away around midnight."

"But universities typically have curfews, with dormitories locked past a certain time. These two students never returned, so the killer likely saw them similarly to barmaids or massage women, thus explaining their abduction."

The group nodded repeatedly while Zhao Donglai looked at Luo Fei, "Anything else? Keep analyzing."

"Team Zhao, I suddenly realized an issue. I previously suspected the killer might be a mover, a delivery worker, or someone else."

"But thinking it over, those in such jobs usually have no time to linger after a job, they either rush to the next place or report back."

"However, most of the disappearances occur at night... besides the two students, everyone else vanished on their way home from work."

"This suggests the killer is not just familiar with the local roads but has staked out and predicted the victims' routes to abduct them with ease."

Luo Fei paused before continuing, "Given these criteria, our prior analysis might need revising. We need to reconsider who could have such chances and time to observe near these women's workplaces, unnoticed, and travel between the three cities?"

For a moment, everyone was stumped.

Taxi drivers, delivery workers... A myriad of professions flashed through their minds, only to be dismissed one by one.

Taxi drivers indeed can stake out, but they mostly pick up local passengers. Even with the occasional intercity ride, they return promptly, rarely lingering.

As for delivery workers, as Luo Fei said, once a package is delivered, they hurry to the next location, lacking time to wait in ambush.

Aside from these jobs, what other profession could it be...

Zhao Donglai looked at Luo Fei, "Stop keeping us in suspense, just share your thoughts."

"I have two guesses. One, the killer is jobless, possibly doing freelance work. The second, someone who frequents such locations."

"However, regular visitors to these places are unlikely to lack money, so this doesn't match our previous deduction. Hence, I'm leaning towards someone with a freelance or stall-related job."

The group didn't speak, motioning for him to continue.

"If it's a stall vendor, he would be driving a small truck or similar vehicle, which is easy to identify. We could review surveillance footage during Zhou Lin's disappearance for such vehicles leaving the area."

Upon hearing this, Liao Xingyu suddenly recalled something, "Three hours after Zhou Lin disappeared, an empty truck left an alley on the left side of that intersection!"

His words brought joy to everyone's faces.

Zhao Donglai promptly said, "Quick, pull up the surveillance footage for us to see."

Liao Xingyu wasted no time and soon returned with a USB drive.

Inserting it into the meeting room computer, he operated it to display the footage on the large screen.

Using his memory, he found the intersection and adjusted the timeline. Soon, a small silver truck appeared on the screen.
