Late at night, Yunzhou Police Station, special task force temporary office.
There will be no sleep tonight, as each special coordinator is busy with their own work.
Perhaps he had formed a habit. Although Zhao Yu was not there this time, Miao Ying still erected two whiteboards and densely filled them with case information.
One side shows the red bathtub case from 40 years ago.
On the other hand, it happened recently.
Tsk tsk…
Miao Ying stood tall in front of two whiteboards, holding a cup of coffee that was no longer lukewarm.
With eyes as bright as lightning, she stared at the case information, analyzing something carefully in her mind...
At this moment, there is only two words to describe Miao Ying's feeling, that is "strange"!
By comparing the old and new case information, she felt more and more that the two cases were so similar!
At present, apart from the different identities of the deceased, it seems that no other similarities or differences can be found...
The two cases were almost identical in terms of their modus operandi, location, and manner of committing the crime. Even the appearance of the two victims was extremely similar!
Tsk tsk…
Miao Ying smacked her lips again and sighed. She had a vague feeling that this case seemed to be more than a simple imitation. If it wasn't the murderer himself, then he must be very familiar with the red bathtub case back then!
Of course, it is impossible for the murderer himself to commit the crime. The police had already caught the real murderer Peter, and Peter had died of a sudden illness!
so…
Thinking of this, a slightly absurd idea flashed through Miao Ying's mind:
Could it be that... Peter still has a disciple! !
No way
She looked at the place where Peter's information was written. According to the information, the police found strange witchcraft supplies in Peter's home. According to research, those witchcraft supplies should have come from Africa.
Among them, there are human bones, animal bones, black charcoal and white candles. In addition, some very special works of art were also found in his home, also from Africa!
However, the British later confirmed that Peter had not been to Africa before. Those witchcraft supplies and works of art were most likely given to him by friends, or he purchased them from somewhere...
Because Peter died so suddenly at that time, there is no way to verify what these witchcraft supplies were used for.
Miao Ying had also checked on the Internet before, and it seemed that someone had tried to investigate Peter's purpose of killing, but in the end all to no avail.
Moreover, online reviews are all mixed and their credibility is very low.
Because he had been a soldier and been on the battlefield, some people said that Peter suffered from war trauma syndrome;
Others said he was a pagan and wanted to use those women for sacrifice;
Others said that he had fallen under the witchcraft of the Africans and that the murder was not his intention;
And the most outrageous thing is that some people say that Peter is a descendant of Jack the Ripper...
"Sister Miao," Cui Lizhu came to Miao Ying with a piece of information and asked, "Why do I think you are more concerned about the old case 40 years ago than the current case
"Could it be that you have inherited the fine tradition of the boss and questioned the authenticity of the detection of the case back then?"
"Ha..." Miao Ying smiled gracefully, nodded and admitted, "Yes, I think the real murderer back then was not Peter, but someone else!"
"Ah?" Cui Lizhu's eyes widened, and she was about to express her emotion, but when she saw the corner of Miao Ying's mouth raised in amusement, she realized that Team Leader Miao was joking with her!
"Yes, you are right to suspect it. I also think that Peter may have an accomplice! How can he, an Englishman, use African witchcraft?" Cui Lizhu rambled along and then handed the information in her hand to Miao Ying, " This is the detailed information of the victim that has just been sorted out, please take a look..."
"Oh..." Miao Ying took the information, opened it and checked it, and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything unusual?"
"Yes," Cui Lizhu said frankly, "The victim Zhang Qile has a very obvious characteristic. She is the kind of money-worshiping girl often seen in short videos!"
"Gold worshiper?" Miao Ying opened her eyes wide, feeling a little surprised.
"Yes, everything is based on money. For money, you can lower the bottom line, or even have no bottom line..." Cui Lizhu said unceremoniously, "Her fame is all made with money, but it is not her own money, nor bank loans, nor... It was funded by those male friends who were close to her!
“The same goes for her gallery, she didn’t spend a penny!
"It is worth mentioning that she is different from those cheap prostitutes. She is an artist. She uses her soul and temperament to deal with these rich and powerful male friends. That is called playing elegantly!"
"Oh..." Miao Ying glanced at the information, "If this is true, then this case... is also a high-level restoration of the red bathtub case 40 years ago!"
"It's possible, that's what I think too. Although it sounds nice, there's not much difference," Cui Lizhu said. "If this is the case, we have to worry that the murderer is not directly related to the victim!
"If there is no interpersonal relationship, then this case will be difficult to investigate!"
oh…
Miao Ying pondered for a moment and felt that Cui Lizhu was right, because the people Peter killed back then were all romantic women who met by chance. They had no connection with each other, and there was no love killing or revenge.
If the current murderer is also imitating Peter and looking for targets at will, then the difficulty of this case will be greatly increased!
"She is just a nominal disciple of Master Chen Jinghua, and I guess she paid for it," Cui Lizhu continued to introduce, "Well, I plan to send someone to verify with the master tomorrow...
"Also," Cui Lizhu added, "her savings have reached 7 figures, but she is very stingy with her family and relatives. She didn't pay a dime for her old mother's surgery, so her relationship with her family was very tense!
"In addition, her interpersonal relationships are destined to be more complicated than ordinary people," Cui Lizhu added, "and this woman specializes in ambiguous relationships. She does not have a boyfriend, fiancé, or husband, but she has countless male friends...
“In the circle of friends, that’s called being dazzled!
"So, if we want to find suspicious people, we have to sort it out slowly..."
"Okay!" Miao Ying said, "Arrange your work reasonably. If it's too late, go and take a rest! Tomorrow will be even busier..."
"I know," Cui Lizhu smiled slightly, "The same goes for you. Brother Tao and I feel the same way. This case looks very strange, but it shouldn't be difficult to solve. Don't tire yourself out..."
After saying that, Cui Lizhu said good night to Zeng Ke and others, turned and left the office.
After Cui Lizhu left, Miao Ying opened the victim's information and began to check it carefully. At the same time, she did not forget to add important information to the whiteboard.
call…
While adding information, she took a closer look at the photo of the victim Zhang Qile.
Then, she took the photo to another whiteboard and compared it with the first victim 40 years ago.
It's so... so similar! ! !
She compared the two photos carefully. Although the photo from 40 years ago was a black and white photo, there was almost no difference in body shape and appearance from Zhang Qile.
No way
Could it be...
Miao Ying couldn't help but have another thought, should the two victims have anything to do with each other
