Andu No. 17 Middle School, Lanyang Academy crime scene.
"Detective Zhao," Captain Zhang Ling reported to Zhao Yuhui, "the forensic doctor has confirmed that the deceased is Tao Yan from the Sichuan Mei Bathing Center! And this bathing center happens to be the one Niu Jinkui frequents..."
"Okay," Zhao Yu nodded, "In this way, there is a connection between the deceased. Captain Zhang, you can change into casual clothes later and accompany me to the bathing center to have a feel-out!"
"Well..." Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling frowned in embarrassment and said, "Listen to me, I just investigated and found that this bath center has closed down!"
"What?" Zhao Yu was stunned, "Closed? Why?"
"It's like this," Zhang Ling explained, "Tao Yan is not just a mommy, she is also the owner of the bathing center! Five days ago, her friend reported her missing!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was greatly surprised, "Five days? This..."
"Tao Yan doesn't allow others to interfere with the business of the store, so the people at the bathing center were worried that something went wrong, so they closed the business!"
"Unexpectedly... like this..." Zhao Yu frowned, feeling very surprised, "Could it be... that the murderer kidnapped Tao Yan five days ago and didn't kill her until last night!? This..."
"It's... it's possible!" Zhang Ling agreed, "Ever since I learned that Niu Jinkui was related to this bathing center, I have sent people to investigate, and now I have found some of the employees there...
"Detective Zhao, this bath center must have a significant relationship with this case. Why not conduct a comprehensive search and bring all the people related to the bath center to the police station and investigate them one by one to see if we can find any clues?"
"Well, that's the only way!" Zhao Yu emphasized, "You arrange the manpower to do it! Find out everything about Tao Yan as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Zhang Ling immediately took out his mobile phone and arranged the task.
"Boss," Ran Tao walked quickly from the stairs and reported to Zhao Yuhui, "After checking everything, the murderer should have entered through the back door of Lanyang Academy.
“That back door had been abandoned for years, with just an old rusty lock on it, and that lock was gone!
"Also, the back door is adjacent to an abandoned courtyard, and there is no surveillance there..."
"Really?" Zhao Yu frowned, "I saw that small courtyard just now. It was completely enclosed and had no door! You don't want to say that the murderer brought the victim over the wall and came in, right?"
"Yes... we really didn't find the door..." Ran Tao scratched his head habitually, "I have sent a technical team to do a detailed inspection. Maybe the murderer used scaffolding or something like that?"
Tsk tsk…
Zhao Yu smacked his lips secretly, and his previous thoughts came to mind again. Could the murderer... be more than one person? Is the Ghost King case a crime committed by two people or more people collectively
…
That evening, Andu Police Station, Special Investigation Team Office.
The occurrence of the third ghost king case, coupled with the incident spread on the Internet, has already made the police officers very anxious.
To this end, the Andu Police Department specially dispatched more criminal investigators and technical personnel to participate in the case. Such a large-scale investigation is very rare in the local area.
At this moment, the members of the special investigation team divided their work and were working hard to investigate.
Zeng Ke is responsible for network tracking and is working with the network security department to track the source of the publisher;
Ran Tao is mainly responsible for the scene. Together with the technical team, he collects clues at the scene and calls for surveillance to capture the suspects;
Wu Xiumin has the most arduous task. On the one hand, she needs to cooperate with the police station executives to deal with the impact of the media and quell the negative impact of the Ghost King case.
On the other hand, she is also responsible for the inquiry and investigation work, checking everyone's interview video to see if anyone is lying
In terms of previous responsibilities, Miao Ying used to be responsible for all the external work of the special task force, but now that Miao Ying is gone, Wu Xiumin can only be asked to take on two roles.
Not to mention Zhang Peipei, for the past few days, she and her team have been busy day and night, carefully examining every corpse and examining a large amount of suspicious evidence...
Therefore, Cui Lizhu is the only one who accompanies Zhao Yu in the office now.
However, Cui Lizhu has not been idle. In the past few days, Zhao Yu has given her a more important task, which is to collect all the information about the Tao Yulan case.
To this day, Zhao Yu still insists that the current Ghost King case should be somehow related to the case 66 years ago.
Whether the victim or the murderer, one of them may be related to Tao Yulan.
"According to the genealogy investigation..." At this moment, Cui Lizhu was reporting the news she had found out, "The ancestors of the deceased Niu Jinkui and Shen Wenbin were not from western Sichuan, so they should have nothing to do with the case that year!
"As for Tao Yulan's descendants," Cui Lizhu shook her head and sighed, "This is simply an impossible task!
"After searching for so long, I just found out that when Tao Yulan was arrested, although poison, makeup clothes, props and other items were found from his home, the book "The Record of the Ghost King" was not found!
"So, I wonder if Tao Yulan passed on the "Ghost King's Record" to others, or hid it somewhere
"Perhaps he wrote some inflammatory things in "The Record of the Ghost King", and then in modern times, he was discovered by someone with a mental problem? Then he was inspired by the book, and then he wanted to inherit Tao Yulan's will , continue killing!?”
"Okay," Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed, "It's better not to make up stories for yourself. The more speculations, the more energy we will have.
"This case... must have one most important key point," Zhao Yu frowned, "Only by finding this key point can the truth of the case become clear!"
"Detective Zhao..." Just as he said this, Captain Zhang Ling came in from the outside anxiously and said, "Didn't I send someone to the ghost town to investigate and monitor again today
"Hey, you're right! This time, they really found the problem!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "What's the problem?"
“The experts I sent there agreed,” Zhang Ling said, “that the murderer cut off the power supply in the monitoring room, which was not what we thought before!
"Actually, the way he really avoided the cameras was to directly cut off the power supply to the entire ghost town from the outside!"
"What?" Zhao Yu didn't quite understand.
"It's like this," Zhang Ling said, "After the murderer took people outside the ghost town, he went to the main gate of the external cables and tampered with it, causing the entire ghost town's power system to be paralyzed.
"Then he drove the people in on a tricycle in a swaggering manner!"
"The power was paralyzed? Did you do something wrong?" Zhao Yu still didn't understand. "How did you do it? Did you turn on the switch?"
"No, of course not," Zhang Ling said, "It is a very complicated operation. Experts said that the murderer should have used some kind of tool. This tool can use the resonance of the relay to affect the power output, which can cause Power outage for 10 to 20 minutes!
"So, after the murderer entered the ghost town, he did not rush to kill people. Instead, he went to the monitoring room and cut off the monitoring output power there. In this way, the power was restored and the monitoring was disabled!
"So..." Zhang Ling said hesitantly, "It only takes one person to complete it!"
"I wonder... are you so professional?" Hearing this, Zhao Yu grinned almost to his forehead, "What on earth does this guy... do!!?"
