He didn’t return to the Investigation Unit directly.
Chen Yan and Zhang Chaoyang drove to Wolf Head Mountain.
On the hillside behind Wolf Head Mountain.
Standing by the cliff where Yang Miaomiao’s parents had fallen, Chen Yan looked down.
The cliff was not deep, but it was very steep, almost vertical.
There was a protruding rock on the cliff. From this direction, looking into the distance, one could see the entire city. The scenery was indeed very beautiful.
Taking out his phone, Chen Yan sat on the big rock and took a selfie.
” Chaoyang.” After taking the picture, Chen Yan handed his phone to Zhang
Chaoyang.”Help me take another picture.”
Zhang Chaoyang nodded.” Okay, Captain Chen. The scenery here is really good. Take a photo of me later.”
Zhang Chaoyang, who took Chen Yan’s phone, switched the camera and retreated.
“Captain Chen…Smile … Alright… Alright… Alright!”
“Can you take a look?” Zhang Chaoyang passed the phone to Chen Yan and sat on the rock.
Chen Yan turned on his phone and looked at the photo. He frowned slightly.
“There seems to be something wrong…”
“Captain Chen, take a picture of me too!”
Zhang Chaoyang handed over his phone and Chen Yan looked up.
Seeing Zhang Chaoyang’s hairstyle, Chen Yan’s expression suddenly froze!
The other two photos instantly appeared in his mind.
Detective Unit Two.
At this moment, not only Liu Qingshan and the others, even Li Hong and the others from Team One were in the meeting room.
The meeting was called urgently after Chen Yan returned from Wolf Head Mountain.
“Captain Li, Captain Liu, shall we start?”
Li Hong and Liu Qingshan nodded, their expressions grave.
According to Chen Yan’s notice, he had found evidence that Yang Miaomiao’s parents might not have committed suicide!
” Everyone, look at the screen.” Chen Yan projected the photo that he had just taken of Zhang Chaoyang at Wolf Head Mountain onto the screen.
” This is a photo I took with Zhang Chaoyang on Wolf Head Mountain with his phone.”
” The first photo was taken by Zhang Chaoyang.” Chen Yan pointed to the second photo.”But the second photo was taken by me with Zhang Chaoyang’s phone.”
“Everyone, take a look. What’s the difference?”
What was the difference?
The same person, the same scenery, the same phone, the same time, the same light.
What difference could there be?
“Captain Chen, one of these two photos was taken by the front camera and the other was taken by the rear camera…The resolution is different?”
” Of course, this is a difference. Everyone, see if there are any more.”
The two photos were placed side by side.
Li Hong, who was sitting in the front row, looked more and more solemn.
He was the mastermind behind the accidental death of Yang Miaomiao’s parents.
At that time, Li Hong was the one who led the investigation and closed the case.
Judging from the situation at that time, there was nothing special about the case itself.
At that time, there were only three groups of people who went up Wolf Head Mountain.
The two groups of people were having a picnic at the foot of the mountain, and there was only the old couple on the mountain.
Therefore, other than accidentally falling down, there was no other possibility.
Because there was no one on the mountain.
If there was no one, there would naturally be no homicide.
However, Chen Yan’s two photos made Li Hong understand.
There were people on the mountain at that time!
” Captain Chen.” Li Hong’s expression was solemn, and his voice was a little low. “You want to talk about the hairstyle, right?”
Hairstyle?
Hearing this, everyone carefully distinguished the differences between the two photos.
Zhang Chaoyang’s hairstyle was split 30-70, and the hairstyle in both photos was the same…
Tsk!
“Direction!”
“Captain Li, are you saying that the hairstyles are separated in different directions?”
Li Hong nodded and looked at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan also nodded.” That’s right. Inspector Lee is right. It’s just that the direction of the hairstyle is different.”
” Look, everyone. These are the photos 1 took at Wolf Head Mountain.”
“Two photos. One was taken by me, and the other was taken by Zhang Chaoyang.”
“Because my hairstyle is symmetrical, there’s basically no difference.”
” The clothes I’m wearing are symmetrical, so there’s no obvious difference between the two photos.”
” However, it’s more obvious when it comes to Zhang Chaoyang.”
Chen Yan pointed at Zhang Chaoyang’s photo again. “”This photo was taken by Zhang Chaoyang himself. He used the front camera of his phone, and his hairstyle was on the left.”
” And this photo was taken with Zhang Chaoyang’s phone. Of course, I used the rear camera.”
“But his hairstyle is on the right.”
Chen Yan projected another photo.” And this photo was taken by Yang Miaomiao’s parents with a selfie stick before they died.”
” Normally speaking, when taking photos with a selfie stick, you’ll definitely use the front camera. That way, we can see the effect clearly from the phone screen.”
Chen Yan projected another photo on the paper.”” This is Yang Miaomiao’s father’s ID photo. His hairstyle is also split to the left.”
” Everyone, look at the selfie they took before they fell off the cliff. Yang Miaomiao’s father’s hairstyle is also slanted to the left!”
Boom!
Everyone’s eyes suddenly changed.
What did this mean?
It meant that the photos of Yang Miaomiao’s parents before they died were not taken by the front camera.
What was going on?
Could it be that they were using a rear camera to take selfies?
Stop joking.
This was basically impossible.
The next photo that Chen Yan projected confirmed this impossibility:”! just checked the video that Captain Li downloaded from the parking lot at Wolf Head Mountain.”
” Everyone, look.” Another photo was projected on the screen.” This is Yang Miaomiao’s parents taking a picture in front of the car when they got out of the car.”
“They used a selfie stick. The screen of the phone is facing them. This means that they used the front camera to take pictures.”
” When we reach the top of the mountain, there’s basically no possibility of switching cameras to take selfies.”
” So, someone took this photo of Yang Miaomiao’s parents on the northern slope before they fell!”
This was the clue that Chen Yan found at Yang Hao’s house.
As everyone knew, taking pictures was the reflection of light.
The camera on the phone worked the same way, but when we use different cameras to take pictures, the people we see are different.
Using the rear camera, it was as if someone else was looking at you.
Using the phone’s front camera to take pictures was like looking at a mirror.
Under normal circumstances, one would not be able to tell if one looked at it alone.
Especially if a person’s hairstyle was not obviously different from the left and right, they would not pay attention to it.
After all, human faces were symmetrical, and there was not much difference between the left and right faces in most cases.
The first time Chen Yan saw Yang Miaomiao’s parents accidentally fall off the cliff, he didn’t notice anything different in the selfie he took with his phone.
However, at Yang Hao’s house, Chen Yan noticed the photo of Yang Hao’s parents next to his sofa.
Although it was just a casual glance, Chen Yan had seen the photo of his parents before they fell off the cliff.
Subconsciously comparing the two, Chen Yan found that something was wrong.
Hairstyle!
Yang Hao’s father’s hairstyle was different on the left and right.
That was why he felt awkward.
On Wolf Head Mountain, Chen Yan first took a photo with his phone and then asked Zhang Chaoyang to take a photo of himself.
However, in comparison, Chen Yan found nothing different.
Because his head shape was symmetrical, the feeling of the front and back was not clear.
However, Zhang Chaoyang’s hairstyle was parted to the side. After taking a selfie and comparing the two photos, it was obvious that there was a difference.
The ID photo of Yang Miaomiao’s father must have been taken by someone else with a camera.
However, under such circumstances, the hairstyle was exactly the same as the picture taken of Yang Miaomiao’s father before he fell off the cliff…
This was enough to prove that someone must have taken photos of Yang Miaomiao’s father before he fell off the cliff!
And who was this person?
When did he go up the mountain?
Why didn’t the surveillance video in the parking lot capture him?
One had to know that Wolf Head Mountain was in a remote location, and there were not many people living around it.
All the people who climbed the mountain could only drive there.
There was another question.
Did Yang Miaomiao’s parents know this person?
If they didn’t know each other, the other party might have left after taking the photo and didn’t know what happened after that.
Therefore, Yang Miaomiao’s parents still died together.
However, if the other party knew him, it would be interesting.
However, judging from the way the victim fell to the ground, Yang Miaomiao’s parents fell on their backs.
The back of his head hit the ground.
Therefore, there was a high chance that the two of them had fallen on their backs from the rock they were sitting on.
They would probably only sit on the rocks when they were taking photos.
After all, it was more dangerous there. If he wanted to rest, he wouldn’t have chosen that place.
So, it didn’t matter if that person knew Yang Miaomiao’s parents or not, he must have witnessed the whole process.
However, the other party did not call the police. Instead, he disappeared.
Why?
