"Boss..." Ran Tao held a yellowed file and asked Zhao Yu, who was looking at "The Record of the Ghost King", "Tell me... what kind of opera did Tao Yulan sing back then
"Could it be that... like this Niu Jinkui, he also sings Sichuan Opera?"
Seeing that Zhao Yu ignored him, he continued to talk to himself: "Do you think Tao Yulan was really wronged back then
"The real murderer was at large in the end, and then he found a successor? Is he the current murderer?"
"Brother Tao, please..." Zeng Ke, who was checking the computer on the other side, couldn't help but said, "The information from that year has not been found yet! You'd better stop making random guesses, so as not to lead our team leader's ideas astray..."
"Okay, okay..." Ran Tao put down the file in his hand, picked up a new box, and continued to do his work.
"Tsk, tsk..." At this time, Zhao Yu also put the "Ghost King's Record" that he had read N times on the table, and said disappointedly, "I thought I could find the murderer's motive for the murder in the book!
"But the book just describes the stories of those who died unjustly, without explaining anything..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips and said, "I'm really curious, what is the purpose of the murderer?"
"Xiao Cui said," Ran Tao saw Zhao Yu talking and couldn't help but start talking again, "This case is very similar to the oil painting murder case in France. Could it be that it was also a mentally disturbed artist who wanted to commit suicide?" A live ghost king show?"
"Living Ghost King Show?" Zeng Ke covered his face, "You really know how to name names!"
"This... can't be said to be wrong..." Zhao Yu said thoughtfully, "But... just like before, ever since I saw the crime scene, I always felt that something was wrong..."
"Oh? What's wrong?" Zeng Ke asked hurriedly.
"If I had known," Zhao Yu pointed at his face, "I wouldn't have the same expression now! But I think... the murderer's motive should be different from the oil painting murder case."
"Boss, don't think too much," Ran Tao said, "Maybe, the matter is not that complicated, it's just that a guy who studies ghost culture has gone crazy and wants to rely on killing people to transcend the souls of the dead, or to ascend himself or something!
“Isn’t that what happened in the movie
"If you want me to see it, ask the bald captain to check the relevant experts. Maybe the murderer is inside!"
"Brother Tao, please..." Zeng Ke clasped his fists at Ran Tao, "I am the captain of the criminal police after all. You can't give people random nicknames like this? How bad would it be if this spread?"
"That's right!" Zhao Yu agreed with Zeng Ke's suggestion and immediately scolded Ran Tao sternly, "Xiao Zeng is right, we are here to fool around, oh no, those who come out to handle cases must pay attention to their quality!"
"Yes, yes!" Ran Tao covered his face in shame.
"Where did we just talk?" Zhao Yu recalled the previous conversation, then clapped his hands and said to Ran Tao, "However, I think Brother Tao's proposal is good. I will call the bald captain and ask him to Check out the experts who study ghost culture…”
puff…
Zeng Ke just took a sip of water and all the water spurted out...
Ran Tao almost fell to the ground with thunder...
"Sorry, sorry, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue..." Zhao Yu clapped his mouth, "We must pay attention to quality, quality..."
In order to ease the embarrassment, Zhao Yu quickly asked Zeng Ke: "How's it going, Xiao Zeng? Have you found out anything about the guqin?"
"No..." Zeng Ke replied, "In the video of that night, you can see that Niu Jinkui left the community where he lives at 9 o'clock in the evening. When he went out, you can clearly see that he did not carry the guqin."
"Then... what happens next?" Zhao Yu asked again, "After leaving the community, did you disappear?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke said, "There was a surveillance blind spot outside the community, and then he just disappeared, and his image was never captured again."
"Then a car should have taken him away..." Ran Tao said, "We can capture the suspicious vehicles according to Niu Jinkui's walking speed, and then screen them one by one!"
"I know," Zeng Ke nodded, "Ba...oh...Captain Zhang Ling has sent people to investigate!"
After finishing speaking, Zeng Ke started sweating on his forehead and quickly wiped it away.
"Have you checked the call records?" Zhao Yu asked again, "Has Niu Jinkui called anyone before?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke replied, "Niu Jinkui only made two calls after six o'clock in the evening. One was to his sister, asking about the troupe's performance.
"Niu Jinkui's sister works in a theater troupe and sometimes introduces him to jobs that make quick money.
"The other call was from the community property management company, but Niu Jinkui didn't answer it," Zeng Ke said, "Captain Zhang has sent someone to verify that the community property management company asked him to pay the overdue property fees.
“The reason I called him at that time was because someone saw him.
"The property manager said that Niu Jinkui has been in arrears with property fees for a year. Every time he calls for payment, he always excuses himself by saying that he is away from home. That's why the property manager calls him at that time..."
"It seems..." Ran Tao shook his head, "This guy is quite incompetent!"
"The technique is very professional..." Zhao Yu frowned and said, "That means we still haven't solved the Guqin problem!"
"Yes," Zeng Ke said, "Captain Zhang sent people to investigate, and no one knows where Niu Jinkui's guqin was placed before.
"But..." Zeng Ke added, "I just received the latest news. It was confirmed by the video team that Niu Jinkui often went to a small bathing center in Anyuan District at least three times a week, and even applied for a card there!"
"Hey, it seems Niu Jinkui's bad habits are hard to change," Ran Tao asked, "The bathing center must not be very clean, right?"
"Yes!" Zeng Ke said, "Now, Captain Zhang has sent people to investigate, and new information should be transmitted soon."
"Look," Ran Tao clapped his hands, "You will get stronger when you are 62!"
"That is to say..." Zhao Yu said, "On the night Niu Jinkui was killed, he might have wanted to go to the bathing center? Wasn't someone tempting him?"
"The possibility is very high!" Zeng Keyan said, "Nu Jinkui doesn't have a car, and it's hard to ride an electric car or a bicycle. On weekdays, he has to either take a bus or take a taxi!
"I just checked and there is a night bus from the community where Niu Jinkui lives to the bathing center, and it only costs two yuan to get there!
"Captain Zhang and the others have obtained the videos of all the buses that night," Zeng Ke said, "but so far, no images of Niu Jinkui have been found."
"It seems..." Ran Tao analyzed, "Niu Jinkui must have had an accident when he left the community and went to the bus station!
"Boss," Ran Tao volunteered, "I'm the best at this kind of thing, leave it to me tomorrow!
"I can use the surveillance on the highway to find the cars that passed the section where the incident occurred that night, and then investigate the driving recorders of these cars one by one. Maybe I will find something!"
"Okay, then you can do it tomorrow..." Zhao Yu agreed, and then said, "In addition to those in Niu Jinkui's community, you also need to follow this method to investigate those near the crime scene!
"The murderer committed the murder late at night. During that time, there were very few vehicles on the road, so it should be easier to investigate..."
"Okay, no problem," Ran Tao gave a small salute, "Okay, just..."
