"D * mn it!"
As soon as he saw the latest photo, Zhao Yu's heart skipped a beat. What he didn't want to see the most had happened, and it was far from what he had expected!
The eighth ghost recorded in the Ghost King Record was called the Qingcheng Woman.
It was said that this ghost was a hybrid between a human and a snake. She often used her beauty and seductiveness to seduce strange men, then turned into a snake and sucked all the men's Yang energy. She was a real evil ghost!
This ghost was recorded in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, but it was slightly different from the description in the Ghost King Record.
The person in the photo was exactly the same as the illustration of the Qingcheng Woman in the Ghost King Record. There was no doubt that the murderer had committed a new murder case!
The woman in the photo was already dead!
If one took a closer look at the photo, one could see that although the woman was wearing heavy makeup and looked very coquettish, her face was still uncontrollably distorted and became abnormally hideous and terrifying, exactly the same as the previous two Ghost King murder cases!
"This …" Cui Lizhu swallowed and said with a pale face, "Is this the third Ghost King Murder Case? How … How … "She stretched out her fingers and counted." Why has it only been three days? "
"The point is …" Wu Xiumin was also surprised and said, "We have to know where this is. Zeng Ke, look … Is there a more detailed picture? "
Zeng Ke quickly clicked the mouse and scrolled through the webpage. Soon, he found a complete set of photos.
The first few photos were of the deceased, but the last two photos showed an old building. The building was an antique two-story building, which looked like it had been built for a long time.
"Quick …" Zhao Yu ordered. "Find out where we are!"
"Okay!" Zeng Ke clicked the mouse and pasted the photos, trying to find out where the building was.
"Wait! I don't think that's necessary, right? " Cui Lizhu quickly reminded Zeng Ke, "There are so many people following this post! Look at the comments. Someone should have recognized it, right? "
"Yes!" Zeng Ke suddenly realized something and quickly searched for the forum related to the photo. Soon, he found the answer in a forum comment.
In the end, after seeing the answer, Zeng Ke felt even more incredulous. He immediately stammered, "Oh my God! It's actually a middle school!!? "
"What?" Everyone was shocked, feeling greatly surprised.
"It's Andu City No. 17 High School!" Zeng Ke pointed to the forum and said, "This building is called Lanyang Academy. It is an ancient building left behind by the Qing Dynasty.
"Lanyang Academy was the predecessor of No. 17 High School in Andu City. Later, when No. 17 High School expanded, this building was included in the campus, and it became the school's landmark.
"It is said that the Lanyang Academy will be open to the public at a specific time every year, so the academy has specially arranged some old furniture for visitors to visit!"
"Old furniture …" Cui Lizhu said. "Just like the crime scene!"
"Really?" Zhao Yu asked. "Hurry up and see when it's open to the public."
"My God …" Zeng Ke searched for the information and suddenly widened his eyes. "It's today! 9: 30 am! "
Everyone looked at their watches. It was exactly 9: 30 in the morning, not a minute off!
"Holy sh * t!" Zhao Yu was shocked and quickly waved at Cui Lizhu. "Hurry up and contact 17th Middle School. We must stop the tourists from visiting! Get them to seal off the scene!! "
"Yes!" Cui Lizhu quickly went to make the call.
Zhao Yu did not bother to tidy up his clothes and rushed out of the office.
…
Andu City 17th Middle School was very close to the police station, so Zhao Yu and the others only took ten minutes to rush to the scene.
Although 17th Middle School evacuated the tourists as soon as they received the notice and sealed off the Lanyang Academy, there were still a large number of tourists who saw the strange crime scene!
It was conceivable that the strange scene at that time must have left an indelible impression on those people, which was obviously detrimental to the confidentiality of the entire Ghost King Case.
"The snake is fake …" At the crime scene on the second floor of the Lanyang Academy, the forensic doctor, Zhang Peipei, reported to Zhao Yu while doing a preliminary examination of the corpse. "It's a fake toy!
"The deceased is a female, about forty years old. Her appearance is the same as the previous two Ghost King Cases. Her time of death is less than ten hours. She should have died last night …"
Listening to Zhang Peipei's report and looking at the hideous and evil limbs in front of him, Zhao Yu felt dizzy.
In a trance, he even had an illusion that the illustration of the Qingcheng woman in the Ghost King Record and the scene in front of him were one and the same.
Or …
It still happened …
Zhao Yu had a bad feeling in his heart. He wasn't sure if the time interval between each case was randomly chosen by the murderer, or if there was some pattern to it.
The second case and the first case were separated by four days, and the third case and the second case were separated by five days. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the fourth case occurred.
Also, why did the murderer post the photos he had taken?
Logically speaking, Lanyang Academy had arranged for a tour today. Even if the murderer didn't post, someone would have found the murder scene.
He was purposely making a big deal out of this!
What … What does he want?
Beep beep … Beep beep …
At that moment, Zhao Yu's cell phone rang. It was Zeng Ke.
"Hello, Team Leader," Zeng Ke said on the phone. "Just now, someone in the forum post recognized the deceased and said that she might be the supervisor of the Chuanmei Bath Center. Her name is Tao Yan … Mm … Mm …"
"Mm what?" Zhao Yu roared. "Hurry up and tell me!"
"The person in the post said …" Zeng Ke quickly said, "This woman is the mother of the bath center, and all the waitresses are arranged by her …"
"What mother? It's just the Old Castle … Mm … Wait …" Suddenly, Zhao Yu thought of something and said to Zeng Ke, "I remember that the victim of the first case, Niu Jinkui, often went to the same bath center.
"Hurry up and find out what the name of the bath center is!"
"Okay, don't hang up …" Then, there was the sound of typing on the keyboard. After a few seconds, Zeng Ke replied, "Yes, it's really the same place!"
"What the f * ck!" Zhao Yu said. "It seems that the victims are related to each other. Send me the address, and I'll go to the Chuanmei Bath Center later. Oh no, I mean, I'm going to check it out! "
"Okay! But … "Zeng Ke quickly said," I'll send you Tao Yan's photos and information first. You can compare them with the deceased first.
Also, should I make a phone call first to check? To see if Tao Yan is missing? "
"Don't call!" Zhao Yu quickly stopped him. "I don't want to alert the enemy. This small bath center may have a major connection with the Ghost King Case. Perhaps, the murderer is also there. So, it's better to wait for me to check first!"
"Okay! I'll send you the information first … "
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yu faintly realized something. If Niu Jinkui and Tao Yan knew each other, could it be that the second victim, Shen Wenbin, also knew Tao Yan?
Tao Yan was the mother, and Shen Wenbin was a playboy. Could it be that Tao Yan had also introduced some business to Shen Wenbin?
Could it be that in the end, the case had returned to its previous path, and it was simply a case of vendetta?
These three people, because of something, had offended one person, and this person was the murderer of this case?
