The surveillance is broken … The surveillance is broken … "The person in charge of the scenic area covered his head and reported to Zhao Yu and the others in a panic." Everything else is fine except for the surveillance. It seems that the power cable that goes out of the main control room was cut. All of our cameras are connected, so … "
"Damn it!" Captain Zhang Ling asked the person in charge angrily. "Where are the people on duty? Someone came into your scenic area to kill someone. You can't just do nothing, right? "
"I'm sorry … I'm sorry …" The person in charge said timidly. "This is a ghost town. How can there be night shifts? Who would dare to work here?
"Besides … What do we have to steal here?"
The person in charge then pointed at the hall in front of him. Indeed, there was nothing here except for the clay statues of the underworld.
"D * mn … This is so depressing …" Zhang Ling was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. Obviously, the second Ghost King Case had come so suddenly that she felt a great deal of pressure.
"Captain Zhang, calm down, calm down …" Zhao Yu was used to this kind of situation. "The time between the two cases is so short, and the murderer is so meticulous and well-prepared. We can't avoid it!" he said.
"Detective Zhao," Zhang Ling said, still looking upset. "I'm worried that if there's a second case, there'll be a third. If we can't catch the murderer, we'll be in big trouble!
Plus, they took a picture of him. This is a big taboo! "
Zhao Yu nodded. How could he not know the consequences of this? However, it was useless to be anxious now. So far, they still didn't know who the latest victim was.
Based on Zhang Peipei's preliminary judgment, they knew that he was a young man in his thirties, but they didn't find anything on him that could prove his identity.
"The victim obviously died of poisoning," Zhang Peipei said. "Preliminary judgment is that he died last night, within ten hours."
"As for the other circumstances … We'll have to conduct an autopsy!"
"Mm …" Zhao Yu nodded and gestured for Zhang Peipei to transfer the body back to the police station.
"Aiyo … It's exactly the same as the illustration in the Ghost King Record!" Ran Tao looked at the corpse and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "At first, I was worried that a baby would die! Fortunately, there was nothing in the swaddling clothes … "
"And it's a man …" Zhang Ling continued. "If Madame Dou is her daughter, shouldn't she be a female ghost? Could it be that the murderer didn't kill people according to the plot in the book? "
Listening to their discussion, Zhao Yu walked around the scene, then asked the guide, "Is this the legendary 18 levels of hell?"
"Yes," the guide nodded. "These figures are all made of clay …"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu thought for a long time, then asked, "Does this room lock the door at night?"
"It's not locked, it's never been locked!" "There's nothing valuable in this house. Even if a thief came in, it would be strange if we didn't scare him!"
"Phew …" Zhao Yu let out a heavy sigh. He was pondering why the murderer would choose this place as the murder site.
Did they want the dead to enter hell and never be reincarnated?
The first was the Guan Di Temple, and the second … the Eighteen Hells?
Could it be … that the purpose of this Ghost King Case was really revenge?!
Are the victims of the two cases related?
And, are they related to Tao Yulan's case from 66 years ago?
Thinking about this, Zhao Yu realized that this case was not a good one. Behind the carefully arranged murder scene, there might be a bigger problem!
…
On the way back to the police station, it was noon.
Originally, Zhang Ling had suggested to treat Zhao Yu and Ran Tao to a meal, but after seeing such a horrifying scene, how could they have the appetite? They had to return to the police station first.
However, while the police car was still on the road, Zhang Ling suddenly received a message from Chong Yang.
Unexpectedly, through the efforts of the Chong Yang police, they actually found information about the Ghost King Case in the archives.
However, what they found was not the original file, but a handwritten copy of the information. Moreover, the information was seriously damaged, and the content was much simpler than the original file.
"Tao Yulan was only 24 years old when he was killed," Zhang Ling told Zhao Yu. "At that time, he was not married and had no children.
But, according to the information, he had nine siblings, but there was no detailed information … "
"In addition, Tao Yulan did admit his crime. He admitted that the five victims were all killed by him."
"The identities of the five victims were lost. We only know that they were military officers who were incorporated and reformed after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because they had military ranks, after incorporation, they should have been placed in basic units …"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked, "Then … Did the information mention how Tao Yulan died?"
"No …" Zhang Ling said. "Let's go back and study the information slowly. Maybe we can find the answer."
"But, the Chong Yang police told me that, according to the information, because Tao Yulan suddenly died, the police could only guess that he had a grudge against the victims!
Maybe, before the founding of the People's Republic, the victims had bullied Tao Yulan or his family, so Tao Yulan hated them and killed them … "
Oh …
Zhao Yu was deep in thought. If the police's speculation was right, that Tao Yulan was not wrongly accused, but killed because of a grudge, then … What about this case?
It turned out that the murderer was very careful and did not leave any clues, which meant that he came prepared.
Could it really be because of a grudge?
Beep beep … Beep beep …
At that moment, Zhang Ling's cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID and quickly answered the phone respectfully.
"Hello? Bureau Chief Zhao, I was just about to report to you … "Zhang Ling spoke quickly, obviously under great pressure." Yes, this case is exactly the same as the one at the Guan Di Temple. We have confirmed that the murderer killed according to the Ghost King Record … "
"Oh … Oh … What?!" Before Zhang Ling could finish, she received an unexpected piece of news. "You said … You know the victims? This … "
As soon as she said this, Zhao Yu and Ran Tao were stunned. They quickly stared at Zhang Ling.
"What? Shen Hao's son?! "Zhang Ling's voice trembled." You mean Shen Hao from Chuan Xingjian, right? His … His son? How did you know?
"Oh … Oh … Oh …" Then, Zhang Ling listened attentively to the leader's words. After listening for a long time, she said, "Okay, I understand. I will cooperate with Godly Detective Zhao to investigate. Don't worry, okay, okay … I understand, I understand … Goodbye …"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ling's face became even uglier. He said to Zhao Yu gloomily, "Detective Zhao, this is going to be troublesome!
"The deceased's name is Shen Wenbin. He is now the executive director of Chuanxing Construction and Investment Group!"
