Late at night, Yunzhou Police Station, Special Investigation Group's temporary office.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Every special investigator was busy with their own work.
Although Zhao Yu was not around, Miao Ying still set up two whiteboards and wrote down all the case information. Perhaps it had become a habit of hers.
One of them was the Red Bathtub Case from 40 years ago.
On the other hand, it was something that happened recently.
Tsk tsk …
Miao Ying stood in front of the two whiteboards, holding a cup of coffee that was no longer warm.
Her eyes were like lightning as she stared at the case files. She was seriously analyzing something in her mind …
At that moment, Miao Ying's feelings could only be described with one word: "Strange!"
Through the comparison between the old and new cases, she felt that the two cases were too similar!
At present, other than the identity of the deceased, there seemed to be no other similarities or differences …
The modus operandi, location, and method of the two cases were almost the same. Even the faces of the two victims were extremely similar!
Tsk tsk …
She faintly felt that this case was not just a simple imitation. If it was not the murderer himself, then he must have a deep understanding of the Red Bathtub Case!
Of course, it was impossible for the murderer to commit the crime himself. The police had already caught the real murderer, Peter, and Peter had already passed away due to a sudden illness!
Therefore …
Thinking of this, Miao Ying's mind flashed with a slightly absurd idea.
Could it be … Peter had a disciple!!?
It can't be, right?
She looked at the place where Peter's information was written. According to the information, the police found strange witchcraft items in Peter's house. According to the research, those witchcraft items should have come from Africa.
Among them, there were human bones, animal bones, charcoal, and white candles. Other than that, there were also some very special artworks found in his house, which were also from Africa!
However, the British later confirmed that Peter had never been to Africa before. Those witchcraft tools and artworks were most likely given to him by a friend, or he had bought them from somewhere else …
Due to Peter's sudden death, there was no way to find out what these magic items were used for.
Miao Ying had also checked on the internet. It seemed that someone had tried to investigate Peter's motive for killing, but in the end, it was to no avail.
Moreover, there were all kinds of comments on the Internet, and the credibility was very low.
Because he had been a soldier and had been on the battlefield, some people said that Peter had PTSD.
There were also people who said that he was a heretic and wanted to use those women as sacrifices.
There were also people who said that he had been affected by the witchcraft of the Africans and that it was not his original intention to kill.
And the most ridiculous thing was that some people said that Peter was a descendant of Jack the Ripper …
"Sister Miao," Cui Lizhu walked up to Miao Ying with a document in her hand and asked, "Why do I feel that you are more interested in the old case from forty years ago than the current case?
"Could it be that you've inherited Boss's fine tradition and are questioning the authenticity of the case back then?"
"Heh …" Miao Ying smiled lightly and nodded. "Yes, I think the real murderer was not Peter, but someone else!"
"Ah?" Cui Lizhu's eyes widened. She wanted to express her emotions, but when she saw the playful smile on Miao Ying's face, she realized that Team Leader Miao was joking with her!
"Yes, you're right. I also think that Peter might have an accomplice! He is an Englishman, how can he use African witchcraft? " Cui Lizhu took advantage of the situation and passed the document in her hand to Miao Ying. "This is the detailed information on the victim that I just sorted out. Take a look …"
"Oh …" Miao Ying took the document and looked at it. She then asked, "How is it? Did you find anything unusual?"
"Yes," Cui Lizhu said frankly. "The victim, Zhang Qile, had a very obvious characteristic. She was the kind of gold digger that you often see in short videos!"
"Gold digger?" Miao Ying's eyes widened, feeling a little surprised.
"Yes, everything was about money. For money, she would lower her bottom line, or even have no bottom line …" Cui Lizhu said bluntly. "Her fame was built with money, but it was not her own money, nor was it a bank loan. It was all funded by her male friends!
Her art gallery was the same. She did not spend a single cent of her own money!
"It's worth mentioning that she was different from those cheap prostitutes. She was an artist, and she used her soul and temperament to deal with these rich and powerful male friends. That's called playing with elegance!"
"Oh …" Miao Ying glanced at the document. "If that's the case, then this case is also highly similar to the Red Bathtub Case from forty years ago!"
"That's possible. I think so too. Although it sounds nice, there's not much difference," Cui Lizhu said. "If that's the case, we have to worry that the murderer is not directly related to the victim!
"If there's no interpersonal relationship, then this case will be difficult to investigate!"
Oh …
Miao Ying thought for a moment and felt that Cui Lizhu was right. The people that Peter killed were all women that he met by chance. There was no relationship between them, so there was no love killing or revenge.
If the murderer was also imitating Peter and randomly looking for targets, then the difficulty of this case would be greatly increased!
"She is only Master Chen Jinghua's apprentice in name. I guess she must have paid for it," Cui Lizhu continued. "Well, I plan to send someone to verify with the master tomorrow …"
Cui Lizhu added, "Also, her savings have reached seven figures, but she is very stingy with her family and relatives. She didn't pay a dime for her mother's surgery, so her relationship with her family is very bad!"
Cui Lizhu added, "Besides, her interpersonal relationships are destined to be more complicated than ordinary people's. She doesn't have a boyfriend, a fiancé, or a husband, but she has countless male friends …"
Cui Lizhu added, "Her circle of friends is dazzling!
So, if we want to find a suspicious person, we have to sort it out slowly … "
"Okay!" Miao Ying said. "Arrange your work reasonably. If it's too late, go and rest! Tomorrow will be even busier … "
"I know," Cui Lizhu said with a smile. "You too. I feel the same way as Brother Tao. This case looks strange, but it shouldn't be difficult to solve. Don't tire yourself out …"
After that, Cui Lizhu said good night to Zeng Ke and the others, then turned and left the office.
After Cui Lizhu left, Miao Ying opened the victim's information and began to read it carefully. At the same time, she did not forget to add important information to the whiteboard.
Phew …
While she was adding information, she took a closer look at the photo of the victim, Zhang Qile.
Then, she took the photo to another whiteboard and compared it with the first victim from 40 years ago.
It's so similar!
She carefully compared the two photos. Although it was a black and white photo from 40 years ago, there was almost no difference between the body shape and appearance of Zhang Qile.
No way!
Could it be …
Miao Ying couldn't help but wonder if the two victims were related to each other.
