"Boss …" Ran Tao held a yellowed file and asked Zhao Yu, who was reading the Ghost King Record, "What kind of drama did Tao Yulan perform in those days?
"Could it be … Like Niu Jinkui, she also sang Sichuan Opera?"
Seeing that Zhao Yu ignored him, he continued to talk to himself, "Do you think that Tao Yulan was really wronged back then?
The real murderer got away with it, then found a successor? Is that the current murderer? "
"Tao, please …" Zeng Ke, who was looking at the computer on the other side, couldn't help but say, "We haven't found the information yet! You'd better not make wild guesses, lest you mislead our team leader … "
"Okay …" Ran Tao put down the file in his hand, picked up a new box, and continued with his work.
"Tsk tsk …" At this time, Zhao Yu put down the Ghost King Record, which he had read many times, on the table and said disappointedly, "I thought that I could find the murderer's motive in the book!
"But the book only describes the stories of the ghosts who died unjustly. It doesn't explain anything …" Zhao Yu said. "I'm really curious … What was the murderer's purpose in killing people?"
"Xiao Cui said that this case is very similar to the French Oil Painting Murder Case. Could it be that some deranged artist wanted to make a living ghost king show?" Ran Tao couldn't help but start to discuss the case again when he saw Zhao Yu talking.
"Living Ghost King Performance?" Zeng Ke covered his face. "You're really good at naming things!"
Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "But … Ever since I saw the crime scene, I always felt that something was wrong …"
"Oh? What's wrong? "Zeng Ke asked.
Zhao Yu pointed to his face and said, "If I knew, I wouldn't have this expression on my face right now! But, I think … The murderer's motive should be different from the Oil Painting Murder Case. "
"Boss, don't think too much about it," Ran Tao said. "Maybe it's not that complicated. It's just that a guy who studies ghost culture is obsessed with it and wants to kill people to expiate the souls of the dead or ascend to heaven!
Isn't that what happened in the movies?
"In my opinion, we should get that bald captain to check with the relevant experts. Maybe the murderer is among them!"
"Brother Tao, please …" Zeng Ke cupped his fists at Ran Tao. "He's the captain of the criminal police. You can't just give him a nickname like that. Wouldn't it be bad if this gets out? "
"That's right!" Zhao Yu agreed with Zeng Ke's suggestion, so he immediately reprimanded Ran Tao, "Zeng is right. We are here to deal with cases, so we have to pay attention to our manners!"
"Yes, yes!" Ran Tao covered his face in shame.
"Where were we?" Zhao Yu recalled what he had said before, then clapped his hands and said to Ran Tao, "But, I think Brother Tao's suggestion is good. I'll call the bald captain and ask him to check the experts who study ghost culture …"
Puff …
Zeng Ke had just taken a sip of water, but he spat it all out.
Ran Tao almost fell to the ground …
"Sorry, sorry, it was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue …" Zhao Yu patted his mouth. "We have to pay attention to our manners, manners …"
In order to ease the awkwardness, Zhao Yu quickly asked Zeng Ke, "How is it, Zeng? Have you found anything about the zither?"
"No …" Zeng Ke replied, "In the video that night, we can see that Niu Jinkui left the community where he lived at 9 pm. When he went out, we can clearly see that he didn't bring the zither with him."
"Then … What happened after that?" Zhao Yu asked again. "After he left the community, he disappeared?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke said. "There is a surveillance blind spot outside the community. Then, he just disappeared, and his image was never captured again."
"Then, a car must have taken him away …" Ran Tao said. "We can catch any suspicious vehicles according to Niu Jinkui's walking speed, then screen them one by one!"
"I know." Zeng Ke nodded. "Captain Zhang Ling has already sent someone to investigate!"
After that, Zeng Ke's forehead was sweating, and he quickly wiped it away.
"Have you checked the call records?" Zhao Yu asked again. "Did Niu Jinkui call anyone before?"
"Yes," Zeng Ke replied. "After six o 'clock in the evening, Niu Jinkui only received two calls. One was to his sister, who asked about the troupe's performance."
Zhao Yu then said, "Niu Jinkui's sister works in the troupe, so she sometimes introduces him to some quick jobs.
The other call was from the community property management, but Niu Jinkui didn't answer, "Zeng Ke said." Captain Zhang has already sent someone to verify that the community property management is looking for him to pay the overdue property management fees. "
"The reason why they called him at that time was because someone saw him."
"The property management said that Niu Jinkui had been in arrears with the property management fees for a year. Every time they asked him to pay, he would say that he was out of town, so the property management called him at that time …"
"It seems that …" Ran Tao shook his head. "This guy has no manners!"
"He's very professional …" Zhao Yu frowned and said, "So, the problem of the zither hasn't been solved yet!"
"Yes," Zeng Ke said. "Captain Zhang has sent someone to investigate, but no one knows where Niu Jinkui's zither used to be.
"But …" Zeng Ke said, "I just received the latest news. According to the video team, Niu Jinkui often went to a small bath center in Anyuan District. He went there at least three times a week, and he even got a card there!"
"It seems that Niu Jinkui's bad habits are hard to change," Ran Tao said. "The bath center must not be very clean, right?"
"Yes!" Zeng Ke said. "Now, Captain Zhang has sent someone to investigate, so there should be new news soon."
"Look!" Ran Tao clapped his hands. "He's 62 years old, but he's still strong!"
"That is to say …" Zhao Yu said. "On the night that Niu Jinkui was killed, he probably wanted to go to the bath center? Was someone trying to tempt him? "
"It's very likely!" Zeng Ke said. "Niu Jinkui doesn't have a car, and it's not easy for him to ride an electric bike or a bicycle.
"I just checked. There's a night bus from Niu Jinkui's residential area to the bath center. It only costs two yuan to get there!
"Captain Zhang has obtained the video of all the buses that night," Zeng Ke said. "But, so far, they haven't found any images of Niu Jinkui."
"It seems that …" Ran Tao analyzed. "Niu Jinkui must have been killed when he left the residential area and went to the bus stop!
"Boss," Ran Tao said. "I'm the best at this kind of thing. Leave it to me tomorrow!
I can look for the cars that passed by the road that night through the surveillance cameras, then check the car recorders of these cars one by one. Maybe I'll find something! "
"Okay, then you can do it tomorrow …" Zhao Yu agreed, then said, "In addition to Niu Jinkui's residential area, you also have to investigate the area near the crime scene!
The murderer committed the crime late at night. At that time, there were very few cars on the road, so it should be easier to investigate … "
"Okay, no problem!" Ran Tao saluted. "Just wait and see …"
