"D * mn, no way!" Ran Tao was the first to express his opinion. "The hanging coffin case was already strange enough, and now there's the Ghost Tower Bone Case!"
"Alright, don't make trouble!" Cui Lizhu said. "There are no ghosts in this world! Ghosts are hidden in people's hearts! "
"In fact, the scariest thing is people, not ghosts!
"Look …" She pointed to the photo of the bones and said, "This is just a pile of bones. What's there to be afraid of?
"I'm not bragging …" Cui Lizhu said confidently. "If I were the thief, I would be no match for him! This is really scary. It's good that he didn't die from shock! "
"Pfft …"
The crowd booed. Zhao Yu was speechless. He thought to himself, Why does Cui Lizhu sound more and more like me? Is she going to finish her apprenticeship?
"Found it! Found it! " Captain Li Yanxia looked at the information on her phone and said excitedly, "The owner's name is Yu Zhengran, a returned overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia.
According to the records, Yu Zhengran's family of five disappeared around New Year's Day 13 years ago. When they disappeared, Yu Zhengran was 63 years old. His wife, son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter were with him.
However, there was a lack of information about his disappearance. There was only a false rumor that his family might have died in the Indian Ocean tsunami! However, the missing persons records did not show that they had left the country at that time! "
"Oh my god, the tsunami!" Ran Tao recalled. "I was still in school that year!"
"The point is, none of the family of five came back alive?" Wu Xiumin shook her head. "Whether they were hit by a tsunami or went missing in the country, such a big event, how could there be no detailed records?"
"There's really nothing we can do about that!" Captain Li explained. "Hailan City is the hometown of overseas Chinese. Back then, the management was not very strict, so many returned overseas Chinese didn't change their nationality or register. Plus, Yu Zhengran didn't have any relatives, so it was really difficult to find him!
"To be honest, it's a common phenomenon for returning overseas Chinese to go missing. After all, they have families and businesses overseas. Who knows when they'll have a sudden impulse and go to Nanyang without even saying a word!
"Actually, the government has been planning for the Tian Fu Home for many years, but because many of the homeowners' information couldn't be verified or contacted, the plan was put on hold!
"We can only wait until the time limit is up before we can legally demolish that place."
"Wow! This is troublesome … "Cui Lizhu pondered." Why do I feel that the bones in the house have something to do with the disappearance of this old Chinese man and his family? That skeleton … could it be … "
Hearing Cui Lizhu's words, the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
"This matter is really tricky!" Captain Li said, "Our leader is worried that this will be a major murder case and affect our country's international reputation, so he applied to report it to the higher-ups.
"I didn't expect to be able to invite the famous Godly Detective Zhao. This is really our fortune!"
"That's for sure!" Zhao Yu was not in the mood to listen to flattery, so he immediately asked, "Let's talk about the ghost energy first!"
"Oh … Oh …" Captain Li quickly continued, "Ever since Yu Zhengran's family disappeared, his house naturally became deserted and no one lived in it anymore.
"It's said that in the past, people would often hear certain sounds or see ghostly shadows from his house. The rumors were abnormally evil, and it quickly became a famous haunted house in that area.
"I heard that there were some bold people who went in before, but they were all possessed and ended up very badly.
"Of course, those are all legends, so there's no way to verify them," Captain Li said helplessly. "If the thief hadn't gone in by accident, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult to find out …" Captain Li said helplessly.
"I've lived for most of my life, but this is the first time I've seen a crime scene like this! I'm really curious, who would do such a thing in a haunted house? Just how daring does this person have? "
"Then …" Zhao Yu pointed to the pictures of the crime scene and asked, "Have you seen the decorations at the scene, as well as the ghost faces? Is this some kind of local funeral custom in Qiongzhou? "
"No, it's absolutely impossible!" Li Yanxia said with certainty. "These things are definitely not from Qiongzhou. Even though I'm not born and raised in Qiongzhou, I've never seen any village or village with such things in the past few decades!"
"Team Leader, I checked …" Zeng Ke said. "One of the ghost faces at the crime scene is similar to the Potuo religion in Southeast Asia."
"Potuo religion? What the hell? "Zhao Yu was puzzled.
"Potuo religion is a branch of Hinduism. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was popular in Southeast Asia, but after the outbreak of World War II, few people believed in it!"
Zeng Ke shook his head and said, "But … Although it's similar, we don't have much information. We can't be sure that the crime scene of the White Bone Case is related to the Potuo religion!"
"Okay," Zhao Yu said. "Then, you can study the Potuo religion! Although we can't be sure whether the White Bone Case is a murder case, we have to treat it as a murder case! "
"Okay, no problem!" Zeng Ke agreed readily.
Ever since he had established a relationship with Zhang Peipei, Zeng Ke had become more energetic.
"Then, as usual," Zhao Yu said. "Sis Wu, go visit the witnesses and do a psychological assessment of the thief!
"Cui, go to the crime scene and collect information about the haunted house," Zhao Yu said to Cui Lizhu. "Whether it's gossip or rumors, collect all of it!"
"Okay!" Cui Lizhu made a gesture.
"Ran Tao and Cui Lizhu go together," Zhao Yu said to Ran Tao. "But, your main task is to collect the surveillance video of the crime scene area!
Remember, whether it's public or private, don't let go of any video! The suspect is likely to be in those surveillance videos … "
"No problem!" Ran Tao rubbed his palms excitedly and was eager to try.
"Team Leader Miao, come with me!" Zhao Yu waved at Miao Ying. "Let's go to the autopsy room to take a look at the skeleton first, then go to the crime scene!"
"Mm!" Miao Ying nodded with satisfaction. Zhao Yu's arrangement was exactly what she wanted.
However, just as everyone was ready to start, Captain Li Yanxia suddenly received a phone call.
"Huh? What? "Captain Li furrowed his eyebrows and asked into the phone," Is he out of his mind? This isn't a joke. Did he really say that? What the … "
After hanging up the phone, Captain Li immediately reported to Zhao Yu, "Detective Zhao, something strange happened. The burglar regained his senses and told us what happened that night.
