The next morning, at the Yunzhou Police Station.
Miao Ying was on the phone with her sister, Ding Lan.
"Don't worry, sis. Xi Mengna is fine," Ding Lan said. "I can't tell you where she is, and I can't let you talk, but don't worry. She's safe and in good spirits!"
"I'm not worried about that. I'm worried …" Miao Ying said.
"I know." Ding Lan was considerate. "The Secret Service will not compromise with the enemy. Handing over Xi Mengna is not a solution at all!
"Our people are trying to get in touch with the enemy and negotiate with them. You can focus on your case!"
"Then …" Miao Ying wanted to say something for the second time.
"No …" Ding Lan was considerate for the second time. "No news about Zhao Yu yet. No news is good news. I believe in my brother-in-law's strength. He will be fine!"
"Um … Okay!"
Miao Ying hung up the phone. How could she not miss Zhao Yu?
She turned on her mobile phone and wanted to check the email that she had secretly contacted with Zhao Yu before to see if there was any message from Zhao Yu.
However, before she turned on her mobile phone, Zeng Ke had already come to her.
"Sister Miao," Zeng Ke reported, "I've finished investigating the victim you asked me to. The name of the victim from 40 years ago was Ruhua. I only know that she was 25 years old when she was killed and that she was from Fulai. I don't know any other specific information!"
"Wow!" Cui Lizhu exclaimed. "Ruhua? This name … "
"Lil Cui," Zeng Ke said seriously, "40 years ago, there was no Tang Bohu Touches Autumn Fragrance! Don't get it mixed up … "
"No real information?" Miao Ying was surprised.
"Yes." Zeng Ke nodded. "So far, the identity of the first victim has not been found. We only know that she worked in the Donghai Nightclub.
"There were many people like her in that era. The police once posted missing people notices and sent people to Fulai to look for her, but in the end, they found nothing …"
"I see." Miao Ying asked, "So, can we still get her DNA? Can we … "
"No …" Zeng Ke shook his head. "The case is closed. I … I can only look for the original evidence and see if the evidence department can find anything …"
Cui Lizhu asked, "Sister Miao, are you suspecting that Zhang Qile is related to the first victim?"
Miao Ying nodded and said, "They look so alike!"
"I …" Zeng Ke said. "Well, I'll send someone to check on Zhang Qile and see if there are any missing people among her relatives."
"Sister Miao," Cui Lizhu said, "I don't think it's necessary. Didn't you notice that not only Zhang Qile and the first victim, but all the other victims looked the same?
"This case might be the same as the Heyang Murder Diary Case. Maybe the murderer has some kind of complex, so all his targets look the same?"
"Yes, that's possible, but …" Miao Ying said. "I still think that the red bathtub case was handled too hastily!
"The identity of the deceased has not been identified, and the murder weapon has not been found. Peter admitted that he was the murderer, but he did not give any details …"
"It seems that …" Cui Lizhu said, "You still think that this new case is related to the old case, right?"
"Leader …"
"Leader …"
While they were talking, Zhang Peipei and Ran Tao entered the office at the same time.
However, Ran Tao was not in a hurry to report. Instead, he went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water.
"The murderer was very careful. He didn't leave any fingerprints or information at the scene," Zhang Peipei reported to Miao Ying. "We searched the inside and outside of Chenyang House, but we didn't find any suspicious footprints …"
"Well, it seems that the murderer has done his homework!" Miao Ying asked. "So, what about the autopsy?"
"There's no problem!" Zhang Peipei said. "The cause of death was excessive blood loss. The deceased was injected with sedatives before her death.
Moreover, judging from the ratio of drugs and the injection technique, the murderer is quite professional. He either has a related profession or has done his homework! "
Cui Lizhu blinked her big eyes and asked, "Should we look for any of Zhang Qile's friends who do similar work?"
"Then …" Miao Ying asked a key question. "According to the previous report, the deceased was not violated?"
"Yes!" Zhang Peipei nodded and replied. "I checked again carefully, and there was indeed no sign of violation!"
Miao Ying then asked, "In other words … The murderer might not be a man?"
Cui Lizhu quickly added, "Sister Miao, in the Red Bathtub Case, Peter didn't violate the victim either. I think it's more likely that he's a man. At least … He had to carry the victim into the house, and he had to go up to the third floor. How could he do that without strength? "
Miao Ying then asked, "Peipei, did you find anything special?"
"I compared the victim's wound," Zhang Peipei said. "I found that the incision is very similar to that of 40 years ago. Whether it's the depth or the length, it's very similar …"
Cui Lizhu pouted. "Sister Miao's words last night came true. Peter was just a scapegoat, and the real murderer is someone else!"
"Xiao Cui, don't talk nonsense!" Miao Ying said. "It seems that a person who has only seen the crime scene can't be so accurate. So, we should work on the person who has seen the file!"
Miao Ying said. "I thought about it for a long time yesterday. The two cases were separated by 40 years, so there must be some unknown reason why the murderer chose to imitate the crime.
So, we have to investigate further. Those who can get close to the file, and those who have been involved in the recent incident … "
"Those who can get close to the file are, of course, police officers!" Cui Lizhu pouted. "Well, I'll talk to Captain Shao and see if we can investigate this matter …"
"Okay, go ahead!" Miao Ying agreed, then turned to Ran Tao and asked, "How is it, Tao? Is there any progress on your side? "
"Haha …" Ran Tao smiled bitterly. "If there was progress, how could I let you discuss it for so long?
From yesterday until now, we have checked almost every surveillance camera near Chenyang House, but we haven't found anything suspicious.
I think we should celebrate. We have met another murderer who is as meticulous as Han Sai! "
Cui Lizhu asked, "That's impossible, right? The murderer must have had a car, right? In the middle of the night, no matter which intersection he passed, he must have left some traces, right? "
Ran Tao said, "As for cars, we have captured quite a few, and the surveillance team is still screening them one by one. But, we haven't found any suspicious cars. I even suspect that the murderer lives in the alley behind Chenyang House!"
Cui Lizhu's eyes widened. "It's not impossible!"
Ran Tao said, "Whether there is or not, Captain Shao has already sent people to check every house. I don't think there's much hope …"
"Okay," Miao Ying suggested. "Screen those who have a relationship with Zhang Qile and see if anyone lives in that area!"
"Okay, leave it to me, Sister Miao." Zeng Ke snapped his fingers from a distance. "We are already tabulating Zhang Qile's interpersonal relationships. It will be done soon!"
"Okay!" Miao Ying agreed, then turned to Ran Tao and said, "Tao, if you have nothing else to do, come with me!"
Ran Tao nodded and asked, "Oh, where are we going?"
"We …" Miao Ying pondered and replied, "We're going to Zhang Qile's gallery. If we can't find out how the murderer was transported to Chenyang House, then we'll start with how she was kidnapped by the murderer …"
