"Zeng Ke, I've sent you the photos of the deceased. Compare the deceased with the people we've been looking for before," Zhao Yu instructed Zeng Ke over the phone. "It's possible that this person is in the information we're looking for!"
Zhao Yu saw that Captain Zhang Ling had something to say, so he quickly hung up the phone.
"Detective Zhao," Zhang Ling quickly reported, "I just asked about yesterday's situation. There was indeed a patrol in the North Mountain area, but the focus was not on the left bank of Seine!
"As you can see," Zhang Ling said disappointedly. "We never would have thought that the murderer would target such a century-old tea house!"
Zhao Yu didn't say anything. Of course, he knew that it wasn't the police officers' fault that they couldn't prevent the fourth Ghost King Case.
Even if it were him, he wouldn't have guessed that the murderer would place the fourth murder in such a place.
However, that wasn't Zhao Yu's purpose. He immediately asked Captain Zhang Ling again, "Then … Did the patrol officers find anything suspicious?"
"No!" Zhang Ling replied. "They said that they patrolled all night last night and didn't see a single tricycle!"
"Alright," Zhao Yu said. "Ask them to mark their respective patrol areas last night, then compare them with all the surveillance cameras to see if they can find the route that the murderer took to transport the bodies."
"Okay," Zhang Ling nodded. "I'll do it right away!"
After Zhang Ling left, Zhao Yu stood at the crime scene and didn't move. He watched Zhang Peipei and the others examine the bodies while he pinched his head and thought about the case carefully.
This time, his intuition didn't come true. He thought that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, but with the fourth Ghost King Case, he finally tasted the taste of failure.
Ever since Zhao Yu had become famous, although he had experienced all kinds of difficulties, his life had generally been smooth sailing. He had never encountered such a difficult situation before.
He didn't know why, but from the beginning of the Ghost King Case, he had never been able to keep up with the pace.
He didn't know if it was because he had underestimated the enemy, or because the murderer of the Ghost King Case was too clever.
Why … Why could this person commit crimes in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about it?
Who was the murderer of the Ghost King Case?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu had to stop thinking and start thinking about the real problem.
Since the fourth Ghost King Case was inevitable, he had to pull himself together and focus on the next step.
According to the pattern, the next time the murderer committed a crime, it would only be one day after the fourth case.
In other words, after 12 o 'clock tonight, he would kill another person and dress this person up as the last evil ghost in the Ghost King Record!
By then, Zhao Yu was very familiar with the Ghost King Log. He knew that the tenth ghost recorded in the book was called Ling Sha!
According to the records, the so-called Ling Sha was an authentic wandering ghost. It was recorded in the Records in Search of the Supernatural and the Guangling San.
Legend has it that when the ghost was alive, it was lonely and destitute, and it died of loneliness. After death, it turned into a malicious spirit and wandered the wilderness, looking for those who went out at night and trapped them or dragged them into the grave.
In the Western Sichuan region, people often said that ghosts hit the wall because they encountered spirits.
There were also people who said that Ling Sha trapped the pedestrians not to harm them, but because he was too lonely and wanted someone to accompany him …
In the illustration of "Ghost King Record", Ling Sha was dressed in rags and had a stooped figure. He looked like a beggar, but also like a poor ghost or god of misfortune in games.
Ling Sha …
Ling Sha …
Zhao Yu couldn't imagine what the situation of the last victim in the Ghost King Case would be like.
He wondered if the fifth person chosen by the murderer had anything to do with Mi Rou's death.
"Boss," Ran Tao ran in from the outside and reported to Zhao Yu, "I just checked the external scene, but because it wasn't built yet, there were no cameras installed.
I could only send people to search on the main road. But, this place is next to the mountain, and there are small paths in the mountain that aren't even on the map. If the murderer came in and out from there, it would be difficult to find him! "
Zhao Yu listened to Ran Tao's report, but he still didn't say a word.
It seemed that the murderer had already prepared all the problems that could be exposed. He was fully prepared, which was why he had committed such a shocking crime!
Zhao Yu looked at his watch and realized that he didn't have much time left.
If the murderer successfully killed the fifth victim tonight, and Zhao Yu still hadn't caught him, his reputation as a Sherlock Holmes would be completely ruined!
So, no matter what, he had to get to the bottom of the case today!
However, the murderer was so cautious and flawless. How could Zhao Yu stop him? There was no doubt that he had failed yesterday. So, should he change his method today?
But, the key point was that, until now, he didn't even know who the fourth victim was!
Who was the person who had disguised himself as Zhen Xiao after he was killed?
…
An hour later, Zhao Yu returned to the office of the Andu City Police Station.
He had been busy all night last night, so he felt mentally exhausted. What was worse was that he hadn't found any clues, which made him angry.
At that moment, Zhao Yu, who was stubborn by nature, didn't rest, but insisted on writing the latest information on the whiteboard as usual.
Writing was good for thinking, so when he added the information, Zhao Yu began to think about the case over and over again, trying to find a new breakthrough.
In the end, his phone suddenly rang. It was Captain Zhang Ling calling him.
"Hello, Detective Zhao, I have two pieces of good news." Zhang Ling's excited voice came through the phone. "We've found the identity of the fourth victim. He's not on our list, but he's also a pimp!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was stunned and quickly asked, "Who is he?"
"His name is Lei Feiyi," Zhang Ling said. "People in the industry call him Lei Feifei. On the surface, he is a salesman of a film company, but in reality, he is a high-class pimp!
Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Còm
"You know what? One of my subordinates found this person's photo when he was checking Wang Zhangkun's WeChat. He felt that this person was very similar to the fourth victim, so he immediately notified me. I didn't expect that after comparing, it really was this person! "
"The pimp knows Wang Zhangkun …" Zhao Yu suddenly realized something and said in a hurry, "So … The person who introduced Mi Rou to Shen Wenbin could be this person? And not Wang Zhangkun? "
"That's very likely!" Zhang Ling said. "It is said that Lei Feifei often wandered around the upper class, often introducing beautiful women to the rich second generation and young masters!
"I guess … He must have told the public that the beautiful women were actresses of the film company, but in fact, they were just prostitutes who cooperated with Wang Zhangkun from various low-class places!
"So …" Zhang Ling said excitedly, "We should be able to confirm that the Ghost King Case has something to do with Mi Rou. The fifth victim should be someone related to Mi Rou!"
