"Because I was prepared, the sedative was always in my bag …" In the interrogation room, Zhang Shixiong continued his confession. "So, when I was in the ambulance, I made up my mind to make this woman pay the price …" he said.
"I told Zhang Qile that there was something wrong with the ambulance, so I pulled over and asked Zhang Qile to see if she had hit anything outside the window. Then, when she wasn't paying attention, I injected her with a sedative!
"She's unconscious," Zhang Shixiong continued. "The sedative used for surgical anesthesia can only last for an hour. So, I need to get her to my house within an hour. I have more sedatives at my house …" Zhang Shixiong continued.
"So, I drove the ambulance back to the office. In the parking lot, I placed Zhang Qile in the trunk of my car. Then, I handed over my shift and drove the car back home …"
"The reason why I didn't do it that night was because I was still hesitating. I knew that from the moment I kidnapped Zhang Qile, there was no turning back!"
"So, I had to reconsider whether my plan was appropriate …"
"Later, after thinking about it over and over again, I felt that there was no problem with what I did, because … Zhang Qile and I hadn't seen each other for seven years, and almost no one knew about our relationship …"
"Just like that, on the second day, I finally made up my mind and carried out my original plan …"
Then, Zhang Shixiong described the entire process of him killing Zhang Qile in Chenyang House. The sequence of the crime and the details were basically the same as what Miao Ying had imagined.
However, Zhang Shixiong didn't expect that there would be a drone in the sky …
What was even more ironic was that the boy who was piloting the drone was Zhang Shixiong's neighbor, and they even knew each other.
However, the boy was so focused on his piloting that he didn't pay attention to the footage of the drone during its flight.
So, when the police caught him, he only thought that his piloting had been exposed. He didn't know that his drone had contributed so much to the police's case.
But, as the saying goes, justice has a long way to go. Actually, because of the limited memory of the drone, the boy had deleted many of the videos, but only the most important one had been kept.
It had to be said that there was a certain element of luck in the investigation of the case.
When Zhang Shixiong finished his confession, Miao Ying took out the painting of the red bathtub that Zhang Qile had drawn earlier and asked Zhang Shixiong,
She asked Zhang Shixiong, "So, you never knew that Zhang Qile had drawn this painting?"
"Yes!" Zhang Shixiong had already admitted his guilt, so he said without reservation, "I really didn't know that she had such a painting. If I had known, I would have stopped her no matter what!
"I also don't know if the lies I told at that time were able to fool her!"
"Lie?" Miao Ying pondered for a moment and seemed to understand what he meant. She asked, "You mean, you know … what Zhang Qile saw?"
"Yes." Zhang Shixiong nodded and said, "When we were together, she saw the things my aunt left behind. She also saw a photo!
"At that time, I lied to her and told her that my aunt was from the Criminal Police Unit and that the photo was from the scene of the Red Bathtub Case. But I don't know if Zhang Qile believed me!
"I didn't know she had such a strong memory …" Zhang Shixiong said, looking at the oil painting. "She could remember every detail …
"Oh … Oh … Oh no …" Zhang Shixiong thought of something and said, "Maybe she took the photo behind my back?
"I can tell that she really likes that photo. Sigh …"
Hearing Zhang Shixiong's words, Miao Ying and the others were shocked. No one would have thought that there would be so many coincidences.
So, Miao Ying adjusted her emotions and said slowly, "Zhang Shixiong, next, we can talk about your aunt!"
"My aunt … Hehe …" Zhang Shixiong's lips curled into an evil smile. "My aunt is also the Red Bathtub Killer. This is obvious!
But … I didn't expect that the corpse would be hidden in the house. I … I lived in the old house for so many years, and I didn't expect that I would live with a dead person … "
"No," Miao Ying reminded him. "Your aunt's body was weak. She couldn't have killed so many people by herself!"
"Huh?" This time, it was Zhang Shixiong's turn to be surprised. "What do you mean? Are you saying that my aunt has accomplices? No … No, no, no … Police officer, please believe me. My parents are good people. They … It's impossible!
My mom said that she didn't have a good relationship with my aunt, so she didn't allow my dad to see her. Please, please investigate this! "
Oh …
Seeing Zhang Shixiong's reaction, Miao Ying suddenly had an idea.
Zhang Shixiong cared about his parents, which was undoubtedly one of his weaknesses.
So, Miao Ying said,
"Zhang Shixiong, it's not up to us to decide whether your parents are guilty or not. As long as you tell us everything, we will naturally understand whether they are innocent or not …"
"I'll talk, I'll talk," Zhang Shixiong said. "Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you! My parents really have nothing to do with this! "
"Then, start from the beginning," Miao Ying said. "Tell us everything you know!"
"Okay, okay …" Zhang Shixiong said. "When my aunt died, I was only one year old. Naturally, I don't have much of an impression, except for those photos …"
"My parents don't really like to talk about her, so I don't really know much about this aunt …" Mu Sijue thought to herself.
"Until I moved into that old house!" Zhang Shixiong recalled. "Because of work needs, I moved into my aunt's house. My aunt used to be an accountant and a university student. She left behind a lot of books, a few boxes …"
"After I moved in, when I was bored, I went to look through those things. Then, I found something that puzzled me …"
"In my aunt's book box, there were a lot of books about religion and secret techniques. There were also a few manuscripts, which were densely packed with runes and seal characters. They were very mysterious, and some of them had drawings of ghosts and spirits, which looked very scary …"
"I knew that my aunt was a university student, so maybe she liked art. At that time, I didn't think too much about it …"
"But, later, as I flipped through the books, I found a few old photos in the interlayer of one of her photo albums! There were black and white photos, and there were also color photos. In those photos, there was a woman lying in a bathtub, and the bathtub had been dyed red … "
"As a native of Yunzhou, I naturally know the story of the red bathtub!" "The first thing I felt when I saw the photos was that they should be photos of the crime scene of the red bathtub case …"
"Although I was very confused as to why my aunt would have photos, I didn't think too much about it …"
"But, after that … two or three days passed, right? I suddenly remembered that when Peter committed the red bathtub case, there were only four victims. "
"And, why were there seven photos of my aunt? Moreover, every woman in the photos looked different … "
