Yunzhou City, Guangdong Province, half past one at noon.
"Chenyang Residence was built at the beginning of the last century and was designed for the famous designer Biddy Cooper..." A middle-aged detective with a beard was introducing the case to Miao Ying and others, "It is said that this Biddy Cooper Uncle is Peter’s teacher. Peter studied with him when he was studying at the School of Architecture!
"However, this may be just a rumor because the ages of the two of them do not match up, and we are still checking...
"Chenyangju is a three-story foreign-style building. It was first lived in by the Chen family, but the Chen family did not live here for too long. They went to develop abroad around the 1930s and have not been heard from since!
“Since then, Chenyangju has been used as a place to receive foreign guests.
“In the 1980s, this place was converted into a nursing home, but because of its remote location, not many people came here to recuperate!
"The first case happened here. It was one day in October 1980. The doorman at the time discovered a body from the bathroom in the northeast corner of the third floor of Chenyang Residence!
"The deceased was a young woman who died in the bathroom bathtub!
"Because the blood stained the bathtub red, people have called this case the Red Bathtub Case since then..."
At the same time as the introduction, someone combined the content and played old photos related to the case on the big screen.
Although the photos at the time were all black and white, everyone was still shocked when they saw the scene of the victim.
After experiencing so many cases, the members of the special investigation team thought they were well-informed and wise.
However, after seeing this photo, it still makes people feel shocking and extremely uncomfortable!
Because, no matter how you look at this photo, it has a weird color to it!
In addition, the water has become opaque due to being stained with blood. The color is clearly invisible in the black and white photos, but people can still imagine the scarlet color...
"Wow..." Cui Lizhu was stunned and whispered behind Miao Ying, "The person who photographed the crime scene is also an artist, right? How did you take this picture?"
"Shh..." Upon hearing this, Wu Xiumin quickly pulled Cui Lizhu to silence her.
"After the murder occurred here, the mansion was basically abandoned!" the middle-aged detective continued, "No one dares to live there anymore!
"I asked the old criminal investigators at that time, and they said that after the case was closed, someone demolished the old bathtub, but then Chenyang Residence was converted into a museum. In order to restore the original appearance as much as possible, people installed a new one. !
"Although it is just for decoration, the bathtub is indeed a real bathtub, but no one expected that today, 40 years later, it would actually..."
"Captain Shao," Miao Ying said, "we have already read the files on the red bathtub case, so next, let's focus on the case in front of us!
"Since Chenyangju was the first place where the Red Bathtub case occurred, it's possible that today's imitator doesn't just want to do one case!"
"Well, yes, this is what we are most worried about!" The local criminal police captain named Shao Xuejiang said after sorting out his thoughts, "This new case occurred at the crime scene two days ago, and it was actually arranged and arranged Exactly the same as it was 40 years ago!”
With that said, as the photos on the big screen changed, everyone quickly saw the photos of the latest case.
As soon as they saw the latest photos, the team members were once again stunned and stunned!
But the photos from this latest case are almost exactly the same as those from 40 years ago!
The photo in front of me is just more colorful than the old photo. It seems to be a refurbished photo of the old photo...
"How...how could this happen?" Cui Lizhu couldn't help but said, "Should you check the person who took the photo back then or now
"This photo was taken too close, right? The angle and lens are very consistent..."
"Um... ahem..." Captain Shao coughed awkwardly and said, "We... um, we will check!"
"Xiao Cui," Miao Ying gestured to Cui Lizhu, "How about you listen to Captain Shao introduce the case first, and then express your opinion?"
"Oh..." Cui Lizhu sat down in gray.
"The time of the crime should be between the evening of May 1st and the early morning of May 2nd.
"That night, there was a night shift guard on duty. However, because the crime occurred in the northeast corner of the building and could not be seen from the guard room, the guard did not notice anything unusual that night. He only woke up the next morning. When I opened the door and cleaned, I discovered the crime scene... "
"Wow..." Ran Tao scratched his head and said, "This guy must be quite scared, right? In the future, I'm afraid no one will dare to come here as a guard again..."
“As you can see in the picture,” Captain Shao said, “Whether it is the shape of the body or the details, the crime scene is almost the same as it was 40 years ago!
"The deceased was also a young woman with long black hair. The autopsy report stated that she was injected with sedatives before her death, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss...
"As you can see, the victim had cuts on both hands, showing X-shaped wounds. In addition, there were traces of candles and charcoal burning at the scene. It is suspected that the murderer held some kind of sacrificial ceremony at the scene!
"This is exactly the same as the original Red Bathtub Murder Case. After Peter was arrested, the police also found a large number of sacrificial and witchcraft items from his home, including charcoal and white candles..."
"Then..." Miao Ying asked, "Where is the identity of the deceased? Has it been verified?"
"No..." Captain Shao shook his head and said, "Currently, the identity has not been identified. We compared recent missing persons reports and compared the database with DNA, but... no match was found!"
"The red bathtub murder case back then..." Wu Xiumin said, "The victims were all women from entertainment venues. Could it be... this girl..."
"I understand what you mean," Captain Shao said, "I have already sent someone to investigate!"
"Then..." Miao Ying asked again, "Since Chenyangju is a museum, there must be surveillance?"
"Yes," Captain Shao said helplessly, "The murderer was obviously well prepared. Afterwards, he destroyed the surveillance of the foreign building and even took away the hard drive!"
"If it doesn't work internally, it won't work externally either?" Cui Lizhu asked, "The murderer sneaked into the foreign-style building with a large living person, and also brought a lot of things with him. He also had to fill the tank with water. This operation is not easy!
"If you check the surveillance, you can always find something, right?"
"Yeah... Although the nature is a bit unusual, this kind of case is not a difficult case for the police, right?" Ran Tao deeply felt the same, "Isn't there a guard? The murderer can't come in through the front door?"
"Chenyangju has a back door..." Captain Shao said, "The back is connected to a complicated street. We suspect... that the murderer should have entered from there!"
"Are there any signs of breakage?" Miao Ying asked.
"No..." Captain Shao replied, "Neither the back door nor the front door of the mansion has been forcibly broken open! The murderer must have obtained the key in advance...
"But... even if we get the key..." Captain Shao shook his head and said, "The back door of Chenyang Residence can only be opened from the inside, not from the outside..."
"Oh..." Listening to Captain Shao's introduction to the case, Miao Ying finally understood what was unique about this case.
interesting…
Faintly, a feeling of excitement arose in Miao Ying's heart...
