Translator: 549690339

“Two days later, in the first-class cabin of a certain plane. ”

“Wu Xiumin then said,””Division Chief Jiao is not right. This case only has a greater influence in Guangzhou, but in fact, it is not comparable to the ghost king case that we have encountered before!”” ”

“””Yes,”” Zeng ke said.””When we were in school, our teacher once taught us about this case. The so-called red bathtub case refers to the murderer cutting the artery of the victim and using the victim’s blood to dye the bathtub red …”” ”

“””I’ve heard about this case before. Dad took me to Yunzhou before, and this case is really famous in Yunzhou,”” cui Lizhu said. ”

“””I remember that the murderer is a foreigner, right?”” ”

“””Peter,”” Wu Xiumin said.””He’s an English architect …”” ”

“””Oh? Are they foreigners?”” Miao Ying was curious.””This case … Which year did it happen?”” ”

“”” 19 … Hmm …”” Wu Xiumin recalled for a moment.””It should be 1980!”” ”

“””No,”” Zeng ke corrected him.””The case lasted for two years, with four victims in total. The crime started in 1980, and the case was closed in 1982!”” ”

“Ran Tao scratched his head out of habit and said,””this is the first time I’ve heard of such a case.”” ”

“””Well, this case does have some similarities with the ghost king case,”” Zeng ke said.””At the crime scene, in addition to a bathtub stained with blood, there were also some sacrificial items! ”

“””Therefore, some people suspect that the murderer Peter is performing a religious rite!”” ”

“””The four victims …”” Miao Ying asked,””what’s the situation like?”” ”

“””They are all women,”” Wu Xiumin replied.””They are all local prostitutes in Yunzhou …”” ”

“””Where is the crime scene?”” “”At least a place with a bathtub,”” cui Lizhu interrupted. ”

“””Yes,”” Wu Xiumin said.””Because of historical reasons, there are many historical European buildings in the Yunshan and Zhaoyang District of Yunzhou. In the bathroom of these buildings, a bathtub is basically a standard …”” ”

“””Wait … Wait …”” Cui Lizhu asked in a hurry.””Didn’t you say that there was a new case, just like the ghost king case? You just said that the red bathtub killer has been caught. It’s Peter, the foreigner! ”

“”” 1980 is 40 years ago. Don’t tell me that the case we’re taking over now is related to the red bathtub murder case from 40 years ago! ”

“””Sister Miao, what kind of case are we going to solve?”” ”

“””Two days ago, a female body was found in an old house in Yunshan District of Yunzhou,”” Miao Ying said.””The female body was soaked in a bathtub. The crime scene is very similar to the red bathtub case from forty years ago!”” ”

“He then added,””also, the old bungalow where the crime took place happened to be the scene of one of the red bathtub murders. So, the murderer must have been imitating Peter, or … He must have had some other purpose!”” ”

“””Oh … If that’s the case, it shouldn’t be too complicated, right?”” Cui Lizhu asked,””what era is it now? There are surveillance cameras everywhere. The murderer must have left a lot of clues if he wanted to sneak into the old house to kill …”” ”

“””I advise you not to be happy too early!”” Ran Tao said,””the case has already been over 48 hours. If it was so easy to solve, the criminal Division wouldn’t have sent us here!”” ”

“””I’m not too sure about the details,”” Miao Ying said.””Because the red bathtub case has a huge impact on the local area, the higher-ups are worried that there will be other problems with the case, so they sent us here to host it! ”

“””Everyone, don’t be careless. Zhao Yu isn’t here, so we can’t ruin the great detective Zhao’s golden signboard!”” ”

“Due to the special circumstances, Miao Ying did not explain Zhao Yu’s situation to her team members in detail. She could only tell everyone that Zhao Yu had accepted a new task and was temporarily leaving the Special Investigation Group. ”

“Although everyone was worried, they were used to Zhao Yu’s solo style, so they didn’t think too much about it. ”

“However, due to the special circumstances, it was impossible for Xi menna to follow the Special Investigation Group. She could only be handed over to Secret Service for protection. ”

“””I have to say … Um …”” Cui Lizhu said.””I’m really not used to it without boss!”” I feel like something’s missing …”” ”

“””It doesn’t matter. Sister Miao is right!”” Ran Tao said confidently,””without the boss, we should do our best and not embarrass him!”” ”

“””Old man? you’re a few years older than Zhao Yu …”” Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue and said,””I think you’re pretending to be young …”” ”

“””Why are you pretending to be young!”” Ran Tao touched his beard and said,””I’m going to grow a beard. You can call me uncle in the future …”” ”

“””Alright, let’s look at the dossiers and make preparations!”” Miao Ying handed out the case information to everyone and said,””same old rules, everyone should know what to do first, then perform your duties! ”

“””Even if team leader Zhao isn’t here, I’m still here!”” ”

“””Buy a big one if you choke to death!”” Ran Tao saluted, and everyone quickly took out their mobile phones to read the information carefully. ”

Miao Ying turned her head and looked out of the porthole.

“Outside the window, there were layers of clouds, and at the end of the clouds, one could see half of the sun shining … ”

It was impossible to say that she wasn’t worried about Zhao Yu!

“However, Miao Ying knew that her worries were useless. Once Zhao Yu made a decision, no one could change his mind! ”

But Miao Ying really couldn’t figure out what Zhao Yu was going to do.

What was he trying to do?

Was he trying to hide in the dark and find the Allies the enemy had left in the country?

Or … Did he want to go alone to rescue the hostages who were kidnapped and threatened by the enemy?

Or was he going to Paris to save amiola?

“What’s more, did he want to go straight to the successor’s nest and unveil the successor’s mysterious veil? ”

Zhao Yu …

You’re only one person. How can you complete such a difficult move?

Who was the one who called you on that mysterious phone?

“You’ve taken Xi Wei’s top-secret documents, but most of them have already been destroyed. They’re no longer valuable, right? ”

Tsk tsk …

“As she was feeling sad, Miao Ying opened her bag and took out a yellow notebook! ”

“This notebook was not the one that old master Jin had left for Zhao Yu, the one that recorded the five major unsolved cases in the country. ”

“After the five major unsolved cases were closed, Zhao Yuzhen had hidden the yellow notebook away. ”

“The one in front of him had been bought by Zhao Yu later. He had also developed the habit of making notes in the notebook every time he went to a different place to solve a case, just like old man Jin. ”

“Opening the book, there were many cases that Zhao Yu had solved before. Although the words were slanted, they were very neat. It was hard to imagine that such a rough person like Zhao Yu could be so meticulous, not missing a single detail! ”

So …

“Looking at the densely packed records, Miao Ying sighed in her heart. It seemed that Zhao Yu’s success was not by chance. Although he had a certain talent, his success was inseparable from his hard work! ”

“On the first page of the notebook, Zhao Yu had used elder Jin’s classic line: “”Behind every crime case is a liter of tears!”” ”

“In the eyes of the bystanders, this sentence made them sigh with emotion. ”

“However, in the eyes of the police detectives who were solving the case, it had long become a motivation! ”

It was precisely because they understood how important solving a case was to the victims that they were encouraged to do every task well!

Hmm … Alright!

“Miao Ying gently touched the notebook, turned it to the back of the blank space, then took out a fountain pen and neatly wrote three words: “”Red jade bathing in the Jade VAT …”” ”
