"It's over …" In the safe house in Tokyo, Zhao Yu scratched his head and said, "The case is in trouble. Oh no, it has changed!
"Old Li, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
"While we are investigating the Left Ear Case, my wife is actually investigating the same case as us? Oh, no, it's not exactly the same … "
"I'm very curious …" Li Bencheng said seriously, "How could a fearless and crazy explorer have a moment where he's at a loss?
"You've seen so many strange cases. How could you still be so surprised?
"What's wrong with this case?"
"My Miaomiao said that in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a red bathtub case in Yunzhou!
The victims were also young women, and the way they were killed was by cutting an X-shaped wound on their wrists … "
"Red bathtub?" Li Bencheng bit his lip and recalled. "Why does it sound so familiar? Gu Zhao seems to have told me about it. Oh, no, not Gu Zhao. Who was it? Was it Miao Kun? "
"Yes. Do you know about the Red Bathtub Case? "Zhao Yu was curious.
"Yes," Li Bencheng nodded. "The murderer was an architect, and he was British, right? What was his name? "
"His name is Bond, oh no, Peter, or … Peter?" Zhao Yu continued to scratch his head. "Why is your brain so slow? But it doesn't matter. My Miaomiao has already sent me the information … "
"What? The case we're investigating is related to the red bathtub? How … How could this be? "Li Bencheng frowned and asked," Were the victims' ears also cut off? "
"Not really," Zhao Yu said. "Besides, the case is basically solved! They've found out who the murderer is! "
"Also, the nature of the case is different. The murderer killed many people in Yunzhou, which is different from the Left Ear Case!"
"If the ears were not cut off, then … Were there sunflowers?" Li Bencheng asked again.
"I don't think so!" Zhao Yu replied.
"Then … Maybe the two cases have nothing to do with each other!" Li Bencheng said. "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"
"But, the X-shaped wound, and the charcoal powder and white candles left at the scene are all the same!" Zhao Yu stretched out a few fingers. "Also, the deceased were all young women, and none of them were assaulted …"
"Hey …" Li Bencheng gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that the case has changed?"
"According to the information," Zhao Yu said, "the earliest Red Bathtub Case happened between 1980 and 1982, but the culprit was caught, and there was a strange death!
"Now, my girlfriend found out that between 1989 and 1992, the Red Bathtub Case was still happening. But this time, the murderer chose to do it in his own home, so it hasn't been discovered yet!"
"We haven't discovered it yet. How did you discover it?" Li Bencheng was surprised and asked unexpected questions.
"Idiot, the murderer buried the victim in his own house. Oh, it seems to be in the wine cellar. He has already dug it out …"
"Oh … I see …"
The murderer could be the owner of the house, a single woman with a terminal illness! She died in 1994 … "
"Then … Since the murderer has been found, is it still related to our case?" Li Bencheng was puzzled. "Do you think the Left Ear Case is also related to the same murderer?"
"No!" Zhao Yu said with certainty. "The Toronto Left Ear Case happened in 1995. At that time, the woman was already dead!"
"Then … What else could it be?" Li Bencheng spread out his hands.
"We …" Zhao Yu said with a gloomy face. "We may have overlooked some important things! For example, the charcoal powder and the white candles. The murderer must have been carrying out some kind of ritual, and there must have been some kind of purpose behind the murder! "
"It seems that it must be some kind of secret cult …" Li Bencheng murmured. "The murderer wanted to use the murder to complete some kind of ritual, and … Um …"
"Also," Zhao Yu continued, "The Left Ear Case and the Red Bathtub Case should have some kind of connection. From this, it seems that the successor asked us to investigate this case for a reason!
"What exactly does he want us to know?"
"Is it that the evil secret skill is what the successor wants you to know?" Li Bencheng was full of doubts. "What does he want?"
"Lao Li," Zhao Yu said, "No matter what the case has become, the Left Ear Case does exist, and our previous assumptions may not necessarily be impossible. I think we still have to work hard on this case!"
"But, have you forgotten?" Li Bencheng said. "I have already checked. During the period when Pingcheng Xin Jia was killed, there were no large-scale art exhibitions in Tokyo!
If there were, they would have been small or medium-sized exhibitions. But, there is no way to check for small and medium-sized exhibitions! "
"You … Um …" Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, "How did you find out?"
"It's a secret. I can't tell you this," Li Bencheng said calmly. "But, the results are 100% credible!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu said. "According to our previous analysis, if it was not a large-scale art exhibition, then the exhibits would have to go through ordinary customs channels. So, it would be difficult to take the murderer's ear out of the customs!"
"I don't think this is easy to deduce," Li Bencheng said. "I have a hundred ways to take an ear out of the customs!
"For example, stick it under your armpit," Li Bencheng said. "How do you think the customs will check?"
Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "You pervert … But, it seems to make some sense!"
"Zhao Yu," Li Bencheng said. "Could it be that the murderer is a rich man who doesn't lack money? Maybe he isn't participating in an art exhibition, but is doing business! "
"He killed in his spare time while doing business!"
"Um …" Zhao Yu followed Li Bencheng's train of thought.
"For example, this rich man worshipped Van Gogh," Li Bencheng said. "So, he collected the victim's left ear?"
"But …" Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I always feel that the murderer is more likely to be in the arts! Because, if he was a rich man, he could buy whatever he needed, and his satisfaction would be greater than that of ordinary people!
"If he didn't have a serious psychological problem, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to commit such a crime, right? He already has everything, so why would he commit a crime? "
"Sacrificial rituals and evil secret techniques," Li Bencheng said. "Could it be the same as the woman you mentioned? The murderer has a serious disease, and he wants to use killing to gain longevity?
"Just like … The Chinatown Detective …"
"D * mn, you've read quite a lot," Zhao Yu said. "But, if he really wanted to gain longevity, why would he cut off people's ears?"
"Hey?" Li Bencheng suddenly thought of something and said, "The girls who were killed weren't raped, right? Is there a possibility that the murderer is a eunuch?
"Does he want to use this kind of secret killing technique to make a name for himself?"
"D * mn … So, you've also watched Sword Rain?" Zhao Yu squinted his eyes.
"Of course," Li Bencheng said. "The male lead is Lee Yusheng, Korean …"
