At a quarter past eight in the morning, in the North Mountain District of Andu, Seine's Left Bank District.
The weather that day was particularly bad. The sky was overcast, and the air pressure was so low that it was suffocating. It seemed that another heavy rain was brewing.
The police command car drove past slowly and stopped next to an antique building next to the main entrance of the district.
The building had three floors, and the plaque had the words "Chuantai Tea House." It was said that the tea house had a long history and was quite famous in the area. The three-story building had a history of a hundred years, so it was a protected cultural relic.
Zhao Yu and Zhang Ling got out of the command car one after another. Both of their expressions were solemn. Not only were they tired from a night of hard work, but they were also disappointed that their efforts had not yielded any results.
Twenty minutes ago, the police had received a report that there had been a murder case in the Chuantai Tea House.
When the first batch of criminal police arrived at the scene and saw the deceased, they immediately called Captain Zhang Ling.
This was because they believed that this murder case should be the fourth case that everyone wanted to avoid the most — the Ghost King Murder Case!!!
When Zhao Yu and Zhang Ling arrived, Ran Tao and Zhang Peipei had already arrived at the scene, as they were closer to the scene.
Ran Tao greeted them outside, while Zhang Peipei had already led her forensic team into the scene to conduct an investigation.
Looking up, they saw that the century-old tea house was located on the right side of the main entrance of the Seine's Left Bank District, and on the left side of the main entrance was the sales office of the district.
It was unknown whether it was the intention of the community's builders or some other reason, but whether it was the main entrance of the community or the sales office on the other side, they were all modeled after the style of a tea house, built in a classical Chinese style. It looked like they were blended into one, neat and uniform, with a unique charm.
However, the construction of the district had just begun, and behind the main entrance was a large construction site with tall buildings.
Through the main entrance, they could see that there were already more than ten tall buildings. The tall scaffolding towered into the clouds, and the workers were in full swing. The clanking sounds of axes and chisels could be heard everywhere.
At this time, Ran Tao, who had just received the latest information, explained to Zhao Yu, "Because the Chuantai Tea House is a century-old building and is a historical relic, it has been preserved.
Ran Tao continued to explain, "The owner of the tea house also took the opportunity to renovate the interior of the tea house. It is said that the renovation has been completed, and it is now being ventilated and deodorized …" As they spoke, they arrived at the entrance of the tea house. Ran Tao continued to explain, "The owner of the tea house also took the opportunity to renovate the interior of the tea house. It is said that the renovation has been completed, and it is being ventilated to remove the smell.
"Therefore, there are currently no tea leaves in the teahouse, and it is not suitable for people to live in. Therefore, the boss did not arrange for anyone to be on duty …"
At this time, everyone lowered their heads and passed through the cordon, entering the tea house.
Zhao Yu knew that the murder case must have happened on the first floor of the teahouse, as they saw the crime scene as soon as they entered the teahouse.
Behind the counter on the first floor of the teahouse sat a man with a twisted face. This man was dressed like a ghost, with horns on his head and fangs protruding from his mouth. What was even more evil was that he was holding a woman in his arms!
"Wow!" Zhang Ling widened her eyes and exclaimed, "It's exactly the same as the illustration in the Ghost King Record! He actually … also has a woman … "
"Team Leader," Ran Tao quickly said, "Don't worry. That woman is an inflatable doll. She's not real!"
"An inflatable doll …"
Zhao Yu took a closer look and saw that the woman in the dead man's arms was indeed a dummy that had been dressed up as an ancient woman.
Her neck was smeared with blood, and the corners of the dead man's mouth were also stained with blood. This was exactly the same as the illustration in the Ghost King Record!
Zhen Xiang had two horns on his head, fangs in his mouth, and he only ate women …
"Team Leader …"
After Zhang Peipei saw Zhao Yu, she immediately nodded at him. Needless to say, the corpse in front of her was in the same condition as the other three corpses in the Ghost King Case.
Therefore, there was no need for a detailed examination to determine that the case in front of them was the fourth Ghost King Case, which was done by the same murderer as the previous three cases.
Moreover, the person who represented the ninth ghost, Zhen Xiang, had been killed!
"Team Leader," Ran Tao whispered to Zhao Yu, "The dead man was disguised. I'm afraid it will take a long time to see his real face and know his identity.
"Look …" Ran Tao lowered his voice and whispered, "Should we post him on the Internet and let the netizens provide us with his identity?"
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "You are really sick! I even suspect that you are the murderer's accomplice. Can't you see that the murderer also wants to post the photos of the crime scene as soon as possible? "
"Oh …" Ran Tao scratched his head and explained awkwardly, "I just want to know the identity of the dead man as soon as possible! Boss … "He lowered his voice and said," Don't forget that there is only one day left! Tonight, he is likely to kill another one! "
"Mm …" Zhao Yu was naturally more anxious than anyone else, but he still said calmly, "Don't worry. It won't take long for the murderer to post the photos!
It's just that he has just killed someone, so he hasn't had time to post the photos yet! "
"I hope so …" Ran Tao said. "I heard from Zeng Ke that if the murderer posts on the same address, they will be able to locate him!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Yu waved his hand and motioned for Ran Tao to be quiet. He then walked over to the corpse and examined it carefully.
However, after he examined it for a long time, he frowned unconsciously. He had a strange feeling in his heart.
At first glance, the corpse in front of him was exactly the same as the previous three. Its face was hideous and distorted, and it was dressed up like a horrible ghost.
But, when Zhao Yu looked at it carefully, he found some details that were different from the previous ones.
For example, the two horns on the dead man's head didn't seem to be symmetrical. The right horn was crooked to the left and became parallel to the left horn!
Zhao Yu guessed that the glue that held the horns in place wasn't strong enough.
Also, the dead man's body was crooked, and his clothes were wrinkled and swollen. There was even a tear on his left shoulder, which was quite different from the previous ones.
He then looked at the inflatable doll in the arms of the deceased. Although the doll was wearing ancient women's clothes, the clothes were a little out of place no matter how he looked at it. It looked more like clothes from a wedding dress shop. Moreover, the clothes were crooked and out of place …
This …
Zhao Yu looked at these details carefully, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. It seemed that the murderer had dealt with the corpse in a hurry!
But, this wasn't the case in the previous three cases. The murderer had dealt with the corpse perfectly, and this had never happened before.
Why?
Why was the murderer in such a hurry?
Could it be that he was late in catching the culprit? Could it be that in order to complete the murder scene on time, he was in such a hurry?
Or … Something unexpected happened when he was dealing with the corpse?
