"Boss, what are you thinking?" Cui Lizhu stomped her feet and said, "Do you have to act like a crazy beggar? 17th Middle School is a school. What's wrong with a school? "
"No … No …" Zhao Yu came back to his senses. "Crazy Beggar? Are you saying that I'm pretending to be crazy? I'm … "
As he spoke, Zhao Yu turned his eyes to the big screen in the office, then asked Wu Xiumin, "Wu, you've been busy with the public media these days. Tell me now, what's the public's reaction to the Ghost King Case?"
"Hmm …" Wu Xiumin was confused, but she still answered Zhao Yu's question patiently. "I've already reported to you. After all, there was a large number of posts last time. Coupled with the special historical background of the Ghost King Case in Western Sichuan, the public's reaction to the Ghost King Case is very strong.
Now, although we have reached an agreement with the media, they are all official media and mainstream media. We can't stop other media from reporting and speculating about the Ghost King Case. "
"I have to say, the current situation is very tricky. There's a lot of pressure on all sides. Even our Criminal Division is already evaluating the situation."
"To be honest, if it weren't for our team leader's reputation and Division Chief Jiao's mediation," Wu Xiumin said frankly. "From the day we found Qi Hao's death, we would have started to close the case!"
"Indeed …" Zeng Ke whispered. "This case is not like the cold cases we used to solve. If we can't give the public an explanation, I'm afraid it will only get worse!"
"As the saying goes, spittle can drown a person. Originally, the case wasn't that big of a deal, but through those unscrupulous channels, making irresponsible remarks and manipulating publicity, it will cause even greater panic …"
"Humph!" Cui Lizhu glared at Zeng Ke. "Your analysis is so reasonable. Why don't you work in the Public Media Department?"
"I …" Zeng Ke covered his face. "I'm just stating the facts!"
"Okay, that's not what I'm talking about." Zhao Yu faced Wu Xiumin again and said, "What I want to ask is, after the Ghost King Case, what happened to the units related to the crime scene?"
"Oh?" Wu Xiumin was stunned. Everyone was also stunned.
"Related units?" Wu Xiumin understood and asked, "Are they related to the crime scene?"
"Yes," Zhao Yu said. "For example, the Guan Di Temple? Isn't that place being demolished? Now that the Ghost King Case had happened at Guan Di Temple, did the residents there want to demolish their houses even more urgently? Who wouldn't want to live in a haunted neighborhood? "
"Oh?" Wu Xiumin frowned. "This … I don't know?"
"Lil Cui …" Zhao Yu snapped his fingers at Cui Lizhu. "Hurry up and contact Captain Zhang Ling. Ask him to send someone to the Guan Di Temple to get some information!"
"Okay …" Cui Lizhu accepted the order and left.
"Wow!" Ran Tao spread his hands and said to Zhao Yu, "Boss, your imagination is too wild! Do you think that someone created the Ghost King Case because they wanted to speed up the demolition? "
"No!" Zhao Yu answered firmly. He then asked Wu Xiumin, "What about the ghost town? After the Ghost King case, what's the situation in Ghost Town now? "
"The ghost town is still closed," Wu Xiumin replied. "The ghost town has also appealed to the police. The holiday is coming, and they hope to resume business as soon as possible!"
"It's still open?" Ran Tao sighed. "People died there, yet it's still open? Now, it's really a ghost town. Let's see how many people will dare to visit it in the future! "
"That's hard to say …" Zeng Ke objected. "People are curious. Maybe the Ghost King Case will make the ghost town famous!"
"Zeng Ke!" I need their financial statements for the past few years, as well as their assets, business, and shares. Also, find a professional to evaluate them and see what kind of impact the Ghost King Case will have on them. "Zeng Ke nodded, then said," I want you to investigate the details of the Ghost Town right away. I need their financial statements for the past few years, as well as their assets, business, and shares.
"Oh … Okay … Okay …" Although he still had some doubts, Zeng Ke didn't dare disobey Zhao Yu's order. He quickly went to his desk to make a call.
"Sis Wu, let's continue …" Zhao Yu asked Wu Xiumin again, "What about No. 17 Middle School? After the Ghost King Case happened in Lanyang College, what impact will it have on No. 17 Middle School? "
"Classes are still suspended, but … The suspension is not mandatory. After all, Lanyang College is not the same as the teaching building. It's only because of the students and their parents that they are forced to attend classes!"
"As for the impact …" Wu Xiumin thought for a while, then said, "Based on the special historical background of the Ghost King Case, I think the school will definitely have a great impact!
No. 17 Middle School isn't a key school to begin with, but they still want to use the renovated community to attract students. In this way, their future enrollment will definitely be affected … "
"Mm …"
Zhao Yu waved his hand at Ran Tao. Ran Tao immediately understood and nodded. "Okay, leave the matter of No. 17 Middle School to me! I will definitely investigate thoroughly for you! "
After that, Ran Tao ran to his desk to make a call.
This time, Wu Xiumin didn't wait for Zhao Yu to ask, but spoke first. "Among the five cases, Chuantai Tea House has undoubtedly had the greatest impact!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up and he listened carefully.
"The one that had the greatest impact wasn't Chuantai Tea House itself, but the Left Bank of Seine district where Chuantai Tea House is located!" Wu Xiumin reported. "The Left Bank of Seine district is currently under construction, and it is expected that the houses will be handed over the year after next. Now is the prime time for sales, and forty percent of the houses have already been pre-sold. But once the Ghost King Case came out … Tsk tsk …"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu asked. "It's not just the housing prices that will plummet, right?"
"Of course not," Wu Xiumin said. "I heard that after the Ghost King Case came out, the owners who had already paid for the houses asked for a refund!
This time, the developers will suffer a huge loss! "
"Although it has been sixty-six years since the Tao Yulan Case, it has long become a deep-rooted legend in the lives of the Western Sichuan people. No one wants to be associated with it!
"Team Leader," Wu Xiumin raised her head and said, "About the Left Bank of Seine, let me look into it!
"Now, I kind of understand what you mean." She looked at Zhao Yu confidently. "I don't know if you've heard?
"Even the community where Qi Hao's house is located is within the government's demolition plan!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu was surprised, as it was the first time he had heard of this.
"It's called Willow Tomb," Wu Xiumin explained. "It's said that, like the Guan Yu Temple, it has been demolished many times, but to no avail! So, this time around, the Ghost King Case might bring a turning point for the demolition … "
"Mm, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the demolition," Zhao Yu said. "But, my intuition tells me that these five murder sites might be the real key to the Ghost King Case!"
"Think about it … Why was the murderer so insistent on releasing the photos of the Ghost King Case? Why did he add a provocative description to the photos?
Also, why didn't the murderer leave any documentary evidence?
"I think …" Zhao Yu clenched his fists tightly. "The murderer did this to expand the influence of the Ghost King Case!
Not only did he want to let people know that the horrible Ghost King Case really happened, but he also wanted to make it very mysterious!
In order to achieve his ulterior motive! "
