Chapter 2554 (1/2)
Two days later, in the first class of an aircraft.
”Director Jiao is not right. This case only has a great influence in Guangdong, but in fact,” Wu Xiumin said, ”it is not comparable to the ghost King case we have encountered!”
”Yes,” Zeng Ke said, ”at 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 say...” Cui Lizhu said aside, ”I've heard of this case. My father took me to Yunzhou before. This case is really famous in Yunzhou!
”I remember, the murderer should be a foreigner?”
”Peter,” said Wu Xiumin, ”an Englishman, is an architect...”
”Oh? Foreigners? ” Miao Ying was very curious, ”what year did this case... Happen?”
”19... Um...” Wu Xiumin recalled, ”it should be 1980!”
”No,” Zeng Ke said more righteously, ”this case lasted for two years. There were four victims around. The crime began in 80 years and was closed in 1982!”
”Unexpectedly... There are such cases...” ran Tao habitually scratched his head. ”I really heard it for the first time.”
”Don't say, this case is indeed similar to the ghost King case,” Zeng Ke said. ”At the crime scene, in addition to the bathtub stained with blood, there are some sacrificial supplies!
”All, some people suspect that the murderer Peter is performing some kind of religious ceremony!”
”Four victims...” Miao Ying asked, ”what's the situation?”
”They are all women,” Wu Xiumin replied. ”They are all local dust women in Yunzhou...”
”Where was the crime?” Cui Lizhu interrupted and asked, ”at least it has to be a place with a bathtub?”
”Yes,” said Wu Xiumin, ”for historical reasons, Yunshan district and Zhaoyang District of Yunzhou have many European buildings with a long history. The bathtubs in the bathrooms of these buildings are basically standard...”
”Wait... Wait...” Cui Lizhu asked hurriedly, ”didn't you say that there was a new case like the ghost King case? As you just said, the red bathtub killer has been caught. It's foreigner Peter!
”1980 was 40 years ago. Don't tell me that the case we are taking over now has something to do with the red bathtub murder 40 years ago!
”Sister Miao, what kind of case are we going to solve?”
”Two days ago, a female corpse was found in an old villa in Yunshan District of Yunzhou,” Miao Ying said. ”The female corpse was soaked in a bathtub. The crime scene is very similar to the red bathtub case 40 years ago!
”Also, the old villa where the crime was committed was the scene of one of the red bathtub murders that happened that year. Therefore, the murderer should be imitating Peter, or... What other purpose!”
”Oh... In that case... The case should not be particularly complicated?” Cui Lizhu said, ”what's the age now? There are surveillance everywhere. If the murderer wants to sneak into the old villa to kill, he will leave a lot of clues... ”
”I advise you not to be happy too soon!” Ran Tao said, ”the case has passed 48 hours. If it is so easy to solve, the criminal department will not send us!”
”I'm not sure about the specific situation,” Miao Ying said. ”Because the red bathtub case has too much influence in the local area, it's worried about other problems in the case, so it sent us to host it!
”Don't be careless. We can't smash the gold lettered signboard of detective Zhao without Zhao Yu!”
Because of the special situation, Miao Ying did not explain Zhao Yu's situation in detail to the team members. She can only tell you that Zhao Yu has accepted a new task and wants to leave the task force temporarily.
Although everyone was worried, they basically adapted to Zhao Yu's maverick rhythm, so they didn't get too tangled.
However, it was also because of the special situation that Simona could no longer follow the task force. She had to be temporarily handed over to the secret service to protect her.
”I have to say... Um...” Cui Lizhu said bitterly, ”I'm really not used to without the boss! I always feel something missing... ”
”It doesn't matter. Sister Miao is right!” Ran Tao said confidently, ”without the boss, we should try our best not to humiliate him!”
”Return him, old man. You are several years older than Zhao Yu...” Cui Lizhu spit out her tongue, ”you are suspected of being tender...”
”What's tender!” Ran Tao touched his beard and said, ”I'm ready to grow a beard. You can call me uncle later...”
