Yun Zhou, 151 Chenggong Road, old house.
The sun was setting, and the sun was setting in the west, casting a golden glow on the roof of the old house.
Dong …
Dong …
Inside the house, there was the sound of knocking. A police officer with a hammer was pounding on the floor!
"Sister Miao," Cui Lizhu reported to Miao Ying outside the house, "Because of new clues, Zhang Shixiong's application for detention has been approved. We can detain him for another 24 hours.
"This time, I don't have to follow him!"
"Mm …" Miao Ying replied softly, but her eyes were on the item in her hands, as if she was looking at something seriously.
She was holding an old photo album, which contained many photos of Zhang Fengyi.
Miao Ying flipped through them one by one, trying to find something from the old photos …
"Sister Miao … I'm so nervous," Cui Lizhu said, unable to hide her nervousness. "Say, if it's true … If … Mm … If the Red Bathtub Case isn't over, then this case could be one of the top five cold cases?
Plus, the Ghost King Case, the video case, and the few cases that we solved in Kun Yang, could it be one of the top ten cold cases? "
"Team Leader Miao," Captain Shao rushed over to report, "We pulled up the files and checked again. So far, we haven't found any connection between Zhang Shixiong's aunt and Peter!
But, we will look for the person involved and ask them in detail … "
"Oh …" Miao Ying nodded, then asked, "Is there any news about that real estate company?"
"It closed down in the late 1990s," Captain Shao said. "I found out that Peter wasn't an employee of the company, but was a designer hired by the company. He wasn't restricted by the company, so he could only be considered a collaborator!
"But Zhang Fengyi is different," Captain Shao said. "Zhang Fengyi was a member of the finance department, then was transferred to the secretarial department. She is a very capable woman!"
"The secretarial department …" Miao Ying thought for a moment, then said, "Does she have a direct leader? Can she still be found? "
"We checked," Captain Shao said. "The leader of the company is either overseas, or has passed away. We can only look for Zhang Fengyi's colleagues to understand the situation …"
"However, as far as we know, there's a high chance that Zhang Fengyi knows Peter. Because secretaries usually accompany leaders to attend high-level meetings, and Peter also has to attend high-level meetings, so they should have met before … "
"I heard from Zhang Shixiong's dad that Zhang Fengyi is a university student, so her English must be fine." Cui Lizhu guessed, "She should be able to communicate with Peter easily, right?"
"No," Captain Shao said, "Peter is an expert in China. He has worked in Yunzhou and Xiangjiang for many years and can speak fluent Chinese!"
"Oh …" Miao Ying thought for a moment and asked, "Then … Is there any explanation for Peter's death?"
"Oh, I also checked this out. I asked the old criminal investigator back then," Captain Shao said. "Peter should have a very serious heart disease!
"Because when he suddenly died, there were obvious symptoms such as cyanosis and muscle cramps, which are the characteristics of sudden death from a heart attack!"
"Oh?" Miao Ying continued to ask, "I didn't see Peter's autopsy report. Didn't you do an autopsy on him?"
"Yes," Captain Shao said. "Peter was a foreigner, after all. His beliefs and habits were different. At that time, under the strong request of his family, we didn't do an autopsy on him!
Of course, the police had already confirmed that Peter was the murderer, and there were no other similar cases, so they didn't pursue the matter too much.
"Actually, his death, at that time, was not a bad result, because the case was related to foreign affairs. If it had continued to be investigated, no one would have known what the final result would have been!"
"Yeah?" Cui Lizhu said. "He killed four people. Could he have been exempted from the death penalty?"
"That's hard to say," Captain Shao said. "But, it is said that the British had specially appointed a team of lawyers for Peter, and they were even planning to do a psychiatric evaluation!"
"No way …" Cui Lizhu smacked her lips. "No matter what, he was a murderer! But … "She pointed at the old house and said," Now, everything is still unknown. What if Peter was wrongly accused? "
"Team Leader Miao," Captain Shao said, "we have already compared the woman in Zhang Qile's painting according to your instructions.
But, as you can see, the oil painting is only so big, and the woman's face in the painting is not particularly detailed. So, if we really compare it, I'm afraid it will be difficult! "
"It's okay," Miao Ying said. "But, using the elimination method, we first counted the suspicious missing people, then slowly narrowed down the range according to the conditions …"
Miao Ying pondered and said, "If Zhang Fengyi was the real murderer, then after Peter's death, the victims that she looked for might be people that she knew, or people that knew her!"
"That's the only way to do it …"
"Yes," Captain Shao nodded in agreement. "We also found out that Zhang Fengyi didn't have a car, and she wasn't in good health at that time, so it would have been difficult for her to commit the crime outside, and then transport a living person back to the house …"
"Okay, don't worry. We will do our best to investigate …"
Then, Captain Shao pushed Miao Ying aside.
Just then, Ran Tao walked out of the house.
"Bro Tao, how is it?" Cui Lizhu asked excitedly. "Have you found anything?"
"We're still digging, but we can't see anything for the time being. But …" Ran Tao said. "The detector has a big reaction, so there should be something underneath …"
"Sis Miao," he asked Miao Ying, "Zhang Shixiong's parents are still at the police station. Should we ask them if there was a basement in this house?"
"Oh …" Miao Ying said. "Sis Wu is at the police station. You can ask her!"
"Okay." Ran Tao nodded and immediately picked up his phone.
"Red bathtub, red bathtub …" Cui Lizhu frowned and muttered, "Why did this happen? Whether it was Peter or Zhang Fengyi, they were all high-level intellectuals!
"What were they doing? Why would they kill people in such a weird way?" Cui Lizhu shook her head and said, "Sis Miao, don't you think that killing people to extend one's life is a little too childish?
Do you think we should also check the four victims that Peter killed to see if they had anything to do with Zhang Fengyi?
Cui Lizhu then asked curiously, "Also, if all of our deductions are correct, what did Zhang Shixiong see?
He also left traces of white candles and charcoal at the crime scene. Why would he do that? "
"Oh … Oh oh oh …" Just then, Ran Tao ran over with the phone and reported, "Sis Miao, Sis Miao, I'm right! There really is a basement in this house!
Zhang Shixiong's father said that it wasn't really a basement, because the house used to be used by the servants of a rich family. So, he dug a cellar under the stairs to store things!
Later, Zhang Fengyi said that there was a foul smell coming out of the cellar, so she got someone to seal it up … "
"Under the stairs! Under the stairs!" Cui Lizhu urged impatiently. "Don't just stand there! Hurry up and dig!"
