"I guess, right?" Ran Tao was the first to express his opinion, "The Hanging Coffin Case was already evil enough, but now there's the Ghost House Bones Case!"
"Okay, don't make any more trouble!" Cui Lizhu smacked her lips and said, "Where are the ghosts in the world? All ghosts are hidden in people's hearts!
"Actually, people are the scariest thing, not ghosts!
"Look..." she said, pointing to the photo of bones, "This is just a pile of dead people's bones. What's there to be afraid of?"
"I'm not bragging..." Cui Lizhu said firmly, "If I were the thief, humph... I would definitely be worse than him, right? This is really scary. It's a good thing it didn't scare him to death!"
"cut… "
The scene was suddenly booed. Zhao Yu's forehead was covered with black lines, and he was talking in his mind. Why does Cui Lizhu sound more and more like herself when she talks? Is this the time to start a career
"Found it! Found it!" At this time, Captain Li Yanxia looked at the information on his mobile phone and said excitedly, "The owner's name is Yu Zhengran, and he is a returned overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia.
"Records show that Yu Zhengran's family of five disappeared around New Year's Day thirteen years ago. Yu Zhengran was 63 years old at the time of his disappearance. Also with him were his lover, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter...
"However, there is a lack of information on his disappearance. There is only false news claiming that his family may have died in the tsunami in the Indian Ocean! However, the disappearance record does not show that they had any records of leaving the country at that time!"
"Oh my God, what a tsunami!" Ran Tao recalled, "I was still in school that year!"
"The key point is, none of the five members of the family came back alive?" Wu Xiumin shook her head and wondered, "Whether it was a tsunami or missing in the country, how could such a big event not be recorded in detail?"
"There is really no way around this!" Captain Li explained, "Our Hailan City is the hometown of overseas Chinese, and the management was not very strict back then. Many returned overseas Chinese did not change their nationality or register for residence. In addition, This Yu Zhengran has no relatives, so it is indeed very difficult to verify!
"To be honest, the disappearance of returned overseas Chinese is actually a common phenomenon here. After all, they have families and businesses overseas. Maybe on a whim, they will take a boat to Nanyang without even saying hello!
“In fact, over the years, the government has planned the Tianfu Homeland land many times, but it was ultimately shelved because the information of many homeowners could not be verified and contacted!
"We can only wait until the time limit is up before we can legally demolish it."
"Wow! This is really troublesome..." Cui Lizhu pondered, "Why do I feel that the bones in the house are related to the disappearance of this old overseas Chinese and his family of five? Those bones... can't be..."
When Cui Lizhu said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became depressing.
"This matter is really very difficult!" Captain Li said, "Our leaders were worried that this would be a major murder case and affect our country's international reputation, so we submitted a report to our superiors.
"Unexpectedly, we actually invited the famous Detective Zhao here. This is really our blessing!"
"Luck is certain!" Zhao Yu didn't want to listen to flattery and asked immediately, "Let's talk about ghosts first!"
"Oh... oh..." Captain Li continued quickly, "Since Yu Zhengran's family disappeared, his house has naturally become an abandoned house and no one is inhabited anymore.
"It is said that people used to hear certain sounds or see ghosts in his house, which was extremely evil, and it soon became a famous haunted house in the area.
"I heard that some brave people have gone in before, and then they were possessed by evil spirits, and ended up being miserable.
"Of course, those are just legends and cannot be verified." Captain Li said helplessly, "If the thief hadn't walked in by mistake, it would have been really difficult to find out...
"In my entire life, this is the first time I have seen such a crime scene! I am really curious, who would do such a thing in a haunted house? How brave does this person have to be?"
"So..." Zhao Yu pointed to the picture of the crime scene and asked, "Have you seen the decorations at the scene, the grimaces and other things? Is this some kind of local funeral custom in Qiongzhou?"
"No, absolutely impossible!" Li Yanxia said with great certainty, "These things are definitely not from our Qiongzhou. Even though I am not a native of Qiongzhou, I have never seen any village or township in these decades. There is such a thing!”
"Team leader, I checked..." Zeng Ke said, "The grimace at the scene of the crime is somewhat similar to the Bo Tuo sect in Southeast Asia."
"Batuo Cult? What the hell?" Zhao Yu was confused.
“Bhadraism is a branch of Hinduism that was popular in Southeast Asia at the beginning of the 20th century. However, after the outbreak of World War II, few people believed in it!
"However... although it is similar, there is not much information," Zeng Ke shook his head and said, "We cannot be sure that the crime scene of the Bones Case must be related to the Batuo Cult!"
"Okay," Zhao Yu ordered on the spot, "Then you should study this mother-in-law religion carefully! Although we are not sure whether the Bones Case is a murder case at the moment, we must treat it as a murder case!"
"Okay, no problem!" Zeng Ke readily agreed.
Since establishing a relationship with Zhang Peipei, Zeng Ke has become more motivated.
"Next... the same old rules!" Zhao Yu said, "Sister Wu will visit the witnesses and give the thief a psychological evaluation!
"Xiao Cui went around the scene of the crime to collect information about the haunted house," Zhao Yu said to Cui Lizhu, "whether it's gossip or rumors, collect them all!"
"OK!" Cui Lizhu made a simple gesture.
"Ran Tao and Cui Lizhu will go together," Zhao Yu ordered Ran Tao again, "but your main task is to collect surveillance videos of the crime scene area!
"Remember, no matter it's public or private, don't let go of any video! The suspect is likely to be under surveillance..."
"No problem!" Ran Tao wiped his palms excitedly, eager to try.
"Team Leader Miao, come with me!" Zhao Yu waved to Miao Ying, "Let's go to the autopsy room to see the bones first, and then go to the scene to see it!"
"Yes!" Miao Ying nodded with satisfaction. Zhao Yu's arrangement was exactly what she wanted.
However, just when everyone was ready to take action, Captain Li Yanxia suddenly received a call.
"Ah? What?" Captain Li twisted his eyebrows and asked on the phone, "Did he have a brain disorder due to fright? This is not a joke. Did he really say that? I'll go..."
After hanging up the phone, Captain Li immediately reported to Zhao Yuhui: "Detective Zhao, something strange happened. The thief just now recovered and recounted his experience that night.
"But that guy actually insisted that the white bones at that time... had a head!"
