“1:30 pm, Yunzhou city, Guangdong Province. ”
“””The Zhou mansion was built in 1928 for the British, James Beaty …”” A middle-aged police detective with a beard was giving a case introduction to Miao Ying and the others.””It is said that James Beaty was Peter’s teacher. When Peter was studying at Livingston University, he was his teacher! ”
“””However, this might just be a rumor because their ages don’t match. We’re still trying to verify it … ”
“””Although it’s called the Zhou mansion, the Zhou family didn’t live here for long. They went abroad around 1937 to develop their business, and there’s been no news of them since! ”
“””Ever since then, the Zhou residence has been used by the government to receive foreign guests. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, almost all the people lived here, but they all moved away … ”
“””Around 1980, this place was converted into a sanatorium to receive some higher-ups, but because of its remote location, there weren’t many people! ”
“””October 12,1980, the guards found a female body in the bathtub in the bathroom on the third floor of the Zhou mansion! ”
“””At that time, the bathtub was filled with water, and the blood of the female corpse dyed the bathtub red. From then on, people called this case the red bathtub case …”” ”
“At the same time as the introduction, someone combined the content and played old photos related to the case on the big screen. ”
“Although the photos at that time were all black and white, when everyone saw the scene of the female corpse in the bathtub, they were still shocked by the evil scene! ”
“After experiencing so many cases, the members of the Special Investigation Group were considered to have seen a lot, and they were immune to some tragic scenes. ”
“However, after seeing this photo, it still gave people a feeling of goosebumps! ”
“That was because no matter how he looked at it, there was a strange color to the photo! ”
“In the bathtub, the woman’s hands were placed on both sides of the bathtub. There were deep cuts on her wrists. The cuts were in the shape of an “”X””, which looked more like some kind of execution! ”
“Due to the loss of blood, the woman’s face was pale. Her face was curled up on one side of the bathtub, but her long black hair seemed to have been combed by someone, and it was all hanging outside the bathtub … ”
“The woman’s eyes were closed, and although her posture was slanted, it looked like some kind of artistic painting … ”
“In addition, the bathtub was no longer transparent because it was stained with blood. The color could not be seen in the black-and-white photo, but people could still imagine the rich red color and even smell the salty smell of blood … ”
“””Wow …”” Cui Lizhu was dumbfounded. She whispered behind Miao Ying,””the police officer who filmed the crime scene must be an artist, right?”” ”
“””Shh …”” Hearing this, Wu Xiumin quickly pulled cui Lizhu to stop her. ”
“””Back then, after the murder, this mansion was basically abandoned!”” The middle-aged police detective continued,””no one else dared to live there! ”
“””I asked the old police officers, and they said that after the case was closed, someone dismantled the old bathtub, but later the mansion was turned into a Museum. In order to restore as much of its original appearance as possible, people installed a new bathtub! ”
“””Although it was just a decoration, the bathtub was indeed a real bathtub. But no one would have thought that after 40 years, the case would …”” ”
“””Captain Shao,”” Miao Ying said,””about the red bathtub case, we have already read the file! So, let’s focus on the case in front of us! ”
“””Since the Zhou mansion was the first crime scene of the red bathtub case, then today’s imposter might have wanted to do more than one case!”” ”
“””Yes, that’s what we’re most worried about!”” Shao xuejiang, the captain of the local Criminal Police, organized his thoughts and said,””on May 2nd, which is two days ago, there was another murder at the Zhou mansion. The crime scene was arranged exactly the same as the red bathtub case from forty years ago!”” ”
“As he said that, the photos on the big screen changed, and the crowd quickly saw the photos of the latest case. ”
“When they saw the latest photo, the team members were once again dumbfounded and stood there in a daze! ”
The photos of the latest case were almost exactly the same as the ones from forty years ago!
“The photo in front of him was just more colorful than the old one, as if it was a refurbished photo … ”
“””How … How did this happen?”” Cui Lizhu couldn’t help but ask,””shouldn’t you look into the person who took the photos back then, or now? ”
“””Isn’t this photo taken too close?”” ”
“””Um … Cough, cough …”” Captain Shao coughed awkwardly and said,””we … Um, we will investigate!”” ”
“””Cui,”” Miao Ying said, gesturing to cui Lizhu.””Let’s listen to Captain Shao’s introduction of the case first, then express your opinion. What do you think?”” ”
“””Oh …”” Cui Lizhu sat down, looking dejected. ”
“””The time of the crime should be between the evening of May 1st and the early morning of May 2nd. ”
“””That night, there was a night shift guard at the security guard, but because the crime happened in the northeast corner of the mansion, the guard couldn’t see it from the guardroom. So, the guard didn’t notice anything unusual that night. It was only when he opened the door the next morning and cleaned up that he found the crime scene …”” ”
“””Wow …”” Ran Tao scratched his head and said,””this guy must be scared, right? In the future, I’m afraid no one will dare to come here to be a guard …”” ”
“””As you can see in the picture,”” Captain Shao said,””whether it’s the shape of the body or the details, the crime scene is almost the same as it was forty years ago! ”
“””The deceased was also a young woman with long black hair. The autopsy report showed that she was injected with tranquilizer before her death, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss … ”
“””Everyone, look. The arteries on the victim’s left and right hands were cut by the murderer, forming an X-shaped wound. In addition, there were traces of candles and burning charcoal at the scene. It was suspected that the murderer had held some sacrificial ceremony at the scene! ”
“””This is the same as the red bathtub murder case. After Peter was arrested, the police also found a large number of sacrificial and witchcraft items in his home, including charcoal and white candles …”” ”
“Miao Ying then asked,””what about the identity of the deceased?”” Have you verified it?”” ”
“””No…”” Captain Shao shook his head and said,””at present, we haven’t found his identity yet. We compared it with the recent missing person reports and also compared it with the DNA database, but … We didn’t find a match!”” ”
“””The red bathtub murder case …”” Wu Xiumin said.””The victims were all prostitutes in entertainment venues, so could it be that this girl …”” ”
“””I understand what you mean,”” Captain Shao said.””I’ve already sent someone to investigate!”” ”
“””Then …”” Miao Ying asked again,””since the Zhou residence is a Museum, there must be surveillance cameras?”” ”
“””Yes,”” Captain Shao said helplessly.””The murderer obviously came prepared and destroyed the surveillance cameras in the Zhou mansion in advance!”” ”
“””It’s not possible internally, and it’s not possible externally either?”” Cui Lizhu asked,””the murderer sneaked into the mansion with a living person, along with a lot of sacrificial items. He even filled the fish tank with water. This is not an easy operation!”” ”
“””If we check the surveillance, we should be able to find something, right?”” ”
“””Yeah … Although it’s a bit unusual, this case shouldn’t be difficult for the police, right?”” Ran Tao felt the same way.””Isn’t there a security guard? The murderer couldn’t have come in from the main entrance, right?”” ”
“””There’s a back door in the Zhou mansion,”” Captain Shao said.””The back door is connected to a complicated Street. We suspect that the murderer entered the mansion from there!”” ”
“””Are there any traces of it being broken?”” Miao Ying asked. ”
“””No…”” Captain Shao replied.””Whether it’s the back door or the front door of the mansion, there are no signs of it being forced open! The murderer must have gotten the key in advance … ”
“””But … Even if we get the key …”” Captain Shao shook his head and said,””the back door of the mansion can only be opened from the inside. It can’t be opened from the outside …”” ”
“””Oh …”” After listening to Captain Shao’s explanation of the case, Miao Ying finally understood how different this case was. ”
Interesting …
Miao Ying felt a little excited …
