At night, in Yunshan District, Yunzhou, Chenyang Residence.
"Wow, it's so exciting to investigate the crime scene in the middle of the night!" Ran Tao swallowed, then went to the crime scene on the third floor with Miao Ying, Wu Xiumin, and the local Captain Shao Xuejiang.
"There is no elevator," Captain Shao said. "The murderer could only carry the victim upstairs. So, the murderer must be a strong person!"
Wu Xiumin observed the surrounding scene, thinking about the possible psychological activities of the murderer at that time.
"The murderer is really brave," Ran Tao said. "There are security guards outside, but he dared to sneak into the building to kill someone. What if the security guards were patrolling the night, or going to the toilet, and they happened to see him?"
"Captain Shao," Miao Ying said. "When Peter committed the crime, he drugged the guard on duty. Did the security guard at the time of the crime give him a test?"
"Yes," Captain Shao said. "There was no problem! But, the security guard drank a little and slept like a log that night! "
"Tsk tsk …" Ran Tao sighed. "It seems that the security guard won't be able to keep his job!"
"That's for sure," Captain Shao said. "According to the requirements, he should be patrolling every night, but there has never been a problem here, so he slacked off …"
"How many security guards are there?" Miao Ying asked.
"Only two, and each of them works for 24 hours," Captain Shao answered.
"Then, we have to investigate both of them," Miao Ying said. "The murderer could easily open the door of the building, so the key was probably obtained through the security guards. We have to carefully investigate the recent movements of the two security guards to see if anyone is watching them in secret …"
"Understood!" Captain Shao nodded. "I've already done that! But, the lives of the two security guards are relatively simple. They live nearby and rarely go to other places! "
"And, according to them, they never carry the key to Chenyang Residence with them after work. They usually leave it with the guard!"
"Then, the source of the key is also very important. Besides the guard, who else has the key?" Miao Ying asked.
"There is a spare key in the management office!" Captain Shao said. "The management office has a spare key, including the front door and back door of Chenyang Residence, but …
"We have already investigated. No one has touched the key in the management office recently, and it is monitored …"
At this time, everyone had entered the crime scene. Although the lights were on and there was no blood in the bathtub, the scene was still creepy.
While Miao Ying was observing the scene, she said to Captain Shao, "Captain Shao, have you ever thought about how the case from 40 years ago did not release any detailed information to the public? Why is this imitator so similar?"
"Indeed," Captain Shao said. "We suspect that the impersonator might have seen the file or the crime scene that year!"
"It makes sense if you've seen the dossier, but it doesn't make sense if you've seen the scene, right?" Ran Tao analyzed, "If he saw the scene 40 years ago, then this person must be quite old!"
"That's not the point," Wu Xiumin said. "The point is, even if someone saw the scene that year, they shouldn't imitate Peter's killing.
"Why is this copycat killing people in such a way?"
"That's true …" Ran Tao said. "It's like we're back at the scene of the Female Corpses Under the Bridge Case again.
"Could it be that this is all because of the mysterious sacrificial ritual? Just like the Chinatown Detective Case, someone wants to use this special consciousness to seek longevity or cure diseases? "
"You … Don't talk nonsense, okay?" Wu Xiumin scolded him. "If you talk nonsense like this, it will easily mislead our judgment!"
"I'm just providing a new way of thinking," Ran Tao murmured. "Isn't it the same when the boss is here? His thinking is even more exaggerated than mine! "
At this time, Miao Ying stood in front of the empty fish tank and fell into deep thought.
In her mind, she was imagining the scene of the murderer committing the crime here. She was imagining what the murderer would do first and what he would do next. He was calm and methodical, as if … His psychological quality was very strong …
Could it be … This is not the first time he has killed someone?
While Miao Ying was thinking seriously, her mobile phone rang. It was Cui Lizhu.
According to the task assigned to her, Cui Lizhu and Zeng Ke were trying their best to find the identity of the female corpse. Since she was calling, it was obvious that she had found something.
After the call was answered, Miao Ying's guess was confirmed.
"Sister Miao, we found it!" Cui Lizhu said excitedly. "The deceased's name is Zhang Qile, a well-known painter!"
"Oh? A painter? "Miao Ying was surprised." You … How did you find him? "
"Zeng Ke used facial recognition technology to search the Internet and quickly found a match," Cui Lizhu said. "Then, we called this person, but the phone couldn't be connected. So, we called her friends and family, and finally confirmed her information!"
"This woman graduated from the Yunzhou Academy of Fine Arts and studied under Chen Jinghua. She is a local celebrity and has held many art exhibitions …" Cui Lizhu said. "She is 29 years old, a native of Yunzhou, single, and unmarried. According to her friends, she has not been contacted for four or five days!"
She then added, "But, Zhang Qile is a casual person, and he often travels on a whim, so no one cares about him.
Also, she has a very bad relationship with her family, so no one in her family knows about her … "
"A painter …" Miao Ying repeated. She seemed to have thought of something and said, "Cui, now that we have found the identity, I will leave the interpersonal relationship of the deceased to you and Zeng Ke!"
"Don't worry, Sister Miao. I promise to complete the task!" Cui Lizhu promised.
Miao Ying wanted to remind them to focus on investigating the victim's belongings, social media, and other information. But, on second thought, she realized that Cui Lizhu and Zeng Ke were both veterans in handling major cases, so she did not need to elaborate on these details.
After hanging up the phone, Miao Ying briefly explained the situation to everyone.
Captain Shao sighed and said, "This is indeed the special investigation group. They found the identity of the deceased so quickly. We were just about to issue a notice to identify the body!"
"A painter, not a prostitute …" Ran Tao pondered and said, "It seems that the case in front of us is not exactly the same as the one 40 years ago!"
"The murderer, Peter, basically chose his victims at random," Miao Ying said. "But, the deceased is a painter, so it is possible that this is a targeted murder!"
"Yes," Ran Tao said proudly. "I feel the same way. As long as we thoroughly investigate the interpersonal relationship of the deceased, the murderer may soon surface!
"Let's wait and see who this person is!"
