Two days later, in the first class cabin of a certain plane.
"Director Jiao is not right. This case only has a greater influence in Guangdong, but in fact," Wu Xiumin said, "there is no comparison with the Ghost King case we have encountered!"
"Yes," Zeng Ke said, "When I was in school, the teacher once taught us about this case. The so-called red bathtub case means that the murderer cut the victim's artery and dyed the bathtub red with the victim's blood... "
"Don't tell me..." Cui Lizhu said from the side, "I have also heard about this case. My father took me to Yunzhou before, and this case is indeed very famous in Yunzhou!
"I remember, the murderer should be a foreigner, right?"
"Peter," Wu Xiumin said, "an Englishman, an architect..."
"Oh? Foreigners?" Miao Ying was very curious, "In what year did this case... occur?"
"19... Well..." Wu Xiumin recalled, "It should be 1980!"
"No," Zeng Ke corrected, "This case lasted for two years, with four victims appearing. The crime started in 1980 and was concluded in 1982!"
"Surprisingly... there is such a case..." Ran Tao scratched his head habitually, "This is the first time I have heard of it."
"Don't mention it, this case is indeed similar to the Ghost King case," Zeng Ke said. "At the crime scene, in addition to a bathtub stained red with blood, there were also some sacrificial supplies!
"So, some people suspect that the murderer Peter was performing some kind of religious ritual!"
"The four victims..." Miao Ying asked, "What are their circumstances?"
"They are all women," Wu Xiumin replied, "They are all local prostitutes from Yunzhou..."
"Where is the crime place?" Cui Lizhu interrupted and asked, "At least it has to be a place with a bathtub, right?"
"Yes," Wu Xiumin said, "Due to historical reasons, there are many European-style buildings with a long history in Yunshan District and Zhaoyang District of Yunzhou. Bathtubs are basically standard in the bathrooms of such buildings..."
"Wait... wait..." Cui Lizhu asked hurriedly, "Didn't you say that there is a new case like the Ghost King case? You just said that the Red Bathtub Killer has been caught, and he is the foreigner Peter!
"1980 was 40 years ago. Don't tell me that the case we are taking over now is related to the red bathtub murder case 40 years ago!
"Sister Miao, what kind of case are we trying to solve?"
"Two days ago, a female corpse was found in an old house in Yunshan District, Yunzhou," Miao Ying said. "The female corpse was soaked in a bathtub. The crime scene was very similar to the red bathtub case 40 years ago!
"Also, the old bungalow where the crime occurred happened to be the scene of one of the red bathtub murders. Therefore, the murderer should be imitating Peter, or... he has some other purpose!"
"Oh... In that case... then this case shouldn't be particularly complicated, right?" Cui Lizhu said, "What era is it now? There are surveillance cameras everywhere. If the murderer wants to sneak into the old bungalow to kill, he will definitely leave a lot of clues... "
"I advise you not to get too happy too early!" Ran Tao said, "It has been 48 hours since the case was solved. If it was so easy to solve, the Criminal Department would not have sent us here!"
“I don’t know the specific situation yet,” Miao Ying said. “Because the red bathtub case has had such a great impact locally, the superiors were worried that other problems would arise in the case, so they sent us to host it!
"Don't be careless, everyone. Zhao Yu is not here, and we can't destroy Detective Zhao's golden sign!"
Because of the special situation, Miao Ying did not explain Zhao Yu's situation in detail to the team members. She could only tell everyone that Zhao Yu accepted a new task and was leaving the special task force temporarily.
Although everyone was worried, they had basically adapted to Zhao Yu's unique rhythm, so they didn't get too entangled.
However, precisely because of the special circumstances, Simona could no longer follow the special task force and could only be temporarily handed over to the Secret Service to protect her.
"I have to say... um..." Cui Lizhu said bitterly, "It's really hard to adapt to the absence of the boss! I always feel like something is missing... "
"It doesn't matter, Sister Miao is right!" Ran Tao said confidently, "Without the boss here, we should do our best and not embarrass him!"
"Thanks to him, you are several years older than Zhao Yu..." Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "You are suspected of being pretentious..."
"Why are you pretending to be young?" Ran Tao said, stroking his beard, "I'm ready to grow a beard. You can call me uncle from now on..."
"Okay, let's take a look at the files and make preparations!" Miao Ying handed out the case information to everyone and said, "Old rule, everyone should be aware of it first, and then perform their duties!
"Team Leader Zhao is not here, and I am still here!"
"Buy big!" Ran Tao saluted, and everyone quickly took out their mobile phones and checked the information carefully...
Miao Ying turned her head and moved her gaze outside the porthole.
Outside the window are piles of floating clouds. At the end of the clouds, you can see half of the sun shining through them...
It is impossible to say that you are not worried about Zhao Yu!
However, Miao Ying knew deeply that her worries were useless. Once Zhao Yu made a decision, eight horses could not pull him back!
However, Miao Ying really couldn't figure out how Zhao Yu should act
What on earth is he going to do
Does he want to hide in the dark and look for the enemy's accomplices left in the country
Or...does he want to go alone to rescue the hostages who are threatened by the enemy
Or is he going to Paris to save Amerola
What's more, he wants to go straight to the successor's lair to uncover the mystery of the successor
Zhao Yu…
You are only one person, how can you complete such a difficult action
Who made that mysterious phone call to you
You took away Xi Wei's top-secret documents, but most of those documents have been destroyed and have no value
Tsk tsk…
Feeling disappointed, Miao Ying opened the backpack she carried with her and took out a yellow leather notebook!
This notebook is not the one that Mr. Jin left to Zhao Yu, which records the five major unsolved cases in the country.
With the end of the five major unsolved cases, the yellow leather notebook has been treasured by Zhao Yu.
The one in front of me was purchased by Zhao Yu later. Like Mr. Jin, he also developed a habit of keeping records in his notebook every time he went to a different place to solve a case!
Opening the book, there are many cases recorded on it that Zhao Yu has handled before. Although the words are skewed, they are extremely neat. It is hard to imagine that such a rude person as Zhao Yu would be so careful and almost never miss a single detail!
so…
Looking at the dense records, Miao Ying sighed in her heart. It seemed that Zhao Yu's success was no accident. Although he had a certain amount of talent, his success was inseparable from his hard work!
On the first page of the notebook, Zhao Yu followed Jin Lao's classic saying: "Behind every crime there is a liter of tears"!
To onlookers, this sentence is lamentable.
But in the eyes of the detectives investigating the case, it has already become a kind of motivation!
It is precisely because they understand how important the detection of cases is to the victims that they are even more motivated to do every detective work!
okay!
Miao Ying gently touched the notebook, turned it to the blank space at the back, then took out a pen and neatly wrote three words: "Red-bath-tub"...
