When the police car drove into the southern part of the city, the rain gradually weakened, but it did not completely stop.
Therefore, the afternoon, which was supposed to be scorching hot, was still gloomy.
Zhao Yu sat in the car, checking the news that he had found on his mobile phone. The reason why Liu Bingcheng took his luggage even when the bus was on fire was that he had a sample of the company's mobile phone in his luggage.
The value of those samples added up to almost 10,000 dollars.
10,000 dollars in exchange for seven lives. Major media outlets used this strong contrast in values as a gimmick to criticize Liu Bingcheng.
Of course, as the person involved, Liu Bingcheng did not have an easy time. Not only was he condemned by the public, but he was also fired by the company. Until the time of the accident, he had not found a job.
After the accident, the place where he lived was often painted and the windows were smashed. He had no choice but to keep moving. In more than half a year, he had moved more than a dozen times.
Perhaps, he was already regretting his reckless actions back then?
However, it was too late to regret. His eyes had been ruthlessly taken off by the murderer and replaced with black pupils!
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu began to think about what Li Zhenzhu had said before. Since the police had not found the relationship between the first victim, Li Yiyan, and Kwon Youdong, could it be that they were targeted by the murderer because of different incidents?
Could it be that the police had mistakenly thought that the Seoul Black Pupil Case was the same as the Yokohama Black Pupil Case? The murderer wanted to kill people who were related to him.
In fact, the murderer only chose those who he thought had made unforgivable mistakes.
If that was the case, then the difficulty of solving the case had indeed increased a lot.
Moreover, Li Zhenzhu's worries were not unreasonable. Once the case was exposed, it would inevitably cause an uproar and a frenzy of public opinion.
If the murderer could not be brought to justice as soon as possible, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult to deal with in the future.
While he was thinking, the car stopped in Chengnan's Flower Bed Park. A local police officer had received the news and was already waiting in the parking lot.
As soon as Zhao Yu and the others got out of the car, someone brought them umbrellas.
"Hahaha …" Suddenly, with a silver bell-like voice, Zhao Yu heard a familiar female voice. "Kong Qi, Mr. Zhao, we meet again …"
Before he even saw her, Zhao Yu knew that it was Ms. Yangshan Masako.
Masako was wearing black sportswear that day. She looked very energetic and excited. She grabbed Zhao Yu's arm and said in fluent Chinese, "Don't worry, Miss Masako.
"Come on, I'll show you the scene. I've been waiting for you!"
Then, she held Zhao Yu's arm and led him to the crime scene, which was surrounded by yellow police tape.
Hmm …
This …
Xiao Hang and Ding Lan looked at each other. Xiao Hang wanted to complain, but at the thought of Zhao Yu's temper, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
Ding Lan pinched her chin, and a strange look flashed in her eyes …
"Can you imagine? On a park bench again! "
Yangshan Masako brought Zhao Yu to a bench in the forest. As there was shade from the trees, there was no need for an umbrella.
Zhao Yu saw that on the bench in front of him, there was a drawing of a corpse's outline. From this, he could roughly tell the location of the deceased.
Thinking back to the first Kurome case, the deceased Li Yiyan was also found on a park bench.
"It was raining last night …" Masako said. "I suspect that the murderer killed the deceased and transferred the deceased here after the Kurome was swapped!
"Otherwise, how could the murderer perform a sophisticated eye swap operation in the rain?"
Zhao Yu didn't speak, but carefully observed the environment at the scene. He was thinking about something seriously in his mind …
"The autopsy is still in progress …" Yangshan Masako, who couldn't stay idle, said, "But, I have seen the corpse. All the details are consistent with the Kurome case. It must have been done by the Kurome killer!
"By the way, the Kurome has been compared. Like the previous two cases, it is from the same stone, and the grinding marks are exactly the same …"
"But …" Zhao Yu said, "There seems to be a problem with the time. In the Yokohama Kurome case, the interval between each case was about a month, but … "
"No," Masako immediately interrupted Zhao Yu. "It's not like that. The Yokohama Kurome case didn't have a fixed time. The shortest interval was 23 days, and the longest interval was 34 days. Kiki Iwata had to make careful preparations before each murder.
"For example, studying the target's daily routine, determining the location of the murder, and so on …"
"As long as he was ready, he would do it. He didn't care about the time!
"I think … It's the same now …" Masako said seriously. "The police just found out that because he couldn't stay at home, Liu Bingcheng applied to be a seaman at the Yuannan Fishery Company. He will go to sea next week!
"So …" Masako stared with her big shiny eyes. "Is the murderer worried that after Liu Bingcheng goes to sea, he won't be able to do it, so he did it in advance?"
"If he really did it in advance, that would be great." Zhao Yu looked at the bench and said, "Then … maybe he could leave some flaws!"
“Bingo！ We were thinking the same thing … "Masako said excitedly." I reminded the detectives in the south of the city early in the morning to investigate the nearby surveillance cameras and witnesses!
I also asked the park department and the traffic department for a detailed map of the park, as well as a traffic map near the park … "
"It was raining last night, both good and bad," Masako chattered. "The good thing is that we can find footprints or traces that we usually can't find, but the bad thing is that the rain washed away some of the traces …"
"Alright, alright." Zhao Yu quickly pressed her shoulders and said, "Tell me about the investigation. How's the investigation of the suspect going?"
As he spoke, Zhao Yu crawled through the plants behind the bench and carefully checked the lawn.
The wet lawn was a pit, so obviously the murderer wouldn't have entered it …
"We've found the information of the seven victims who were burned to death," Masako nodded vigorously. "Next, we'll investigate one by one to find out who is the most likely to do it!"
"The police in the south of the city have already launched an operation. I think there will be results soon, right?
"But, there's one thing that I don't understand …" Masako said cutely. "I looked at the bus fire in detail, but I didn't find any information related to Li Yiyan or Quan Youdong.
"These three victims, no matter how I look at them, they don't seem to be related.
"Detective Zhao, do you know?"
"If I knew," Zhao Yu said. "Would I still be here chatting with you?"
"Chatting?" Masako didn't understand. "What do you mean by chatting?"
"Let's go!" Zhao Yu gently grabbed Masako's arm. "Walk around this park with me. Let's take a good look at how the murderer brought the victims here!"
