Chapter 2556

Yunzhou City, Guangdong Province, 1:30 noon.

"The Zhou residence was built in 1928 and designed for the British James Beattie..." a middle-aged agent with a beard is introducing the case to Miao Ying and others. "It is said that this James Beattie was Peter's teacher. Peter used to learn from him when he studied at Livingston University!

"However, this may be just a rumor, because their ages are not quite consistent, and we are still checking

"Although it's called the Zhou residence, the Zhou family didn't live here for long. They went abroad to develop around 1937 and haven't heard from them yet!

"Since then, Zhou residence has been used as a residence for the government to receive foreign guests. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, almost people lived here one after another, but later they all moved away

"Around 1980, it was changed into a sanatorium to receive some superior leaders, but there were not many people because of its remote location!

"On October 12, 1980, the guard at the gate found a woman's body in the bathtub in the bathroom at the northeast corner of the third floor of Zhou residence!

"At that time, the bathtub was filled with water, and the blood of the female corpse dyed the bathtub red. Since then, people have called this case the red bathtub case..."

At the same time, 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 photos, people were still shocked by the evil scene after seeing the dead woman in the bathtub!

After so many cases, the members of the task force are well-informed and immune to some tragic scenes.

However, after seeing this photo, it still makes people feel hairy behind the spine!

Because, how you look at this photo, it shows a strange color!

In the bathtub, the woman's hands are placed on both sides of the bathtub. There are deep cuts on her wrists. The knife edge is in the shape of "X", which looks more like some kind of punishment!

The woman was pale because of blood loss, and her cheeks hung on one side of the bathtub, but her long black hair seemed to have been combed and all hung outside the bathtub

The woman closes her eyes, and although her body posture is skewed, it looks like some art paintings

In addition, the bathtub is no longer transparent because it is stained with blood. There is no color in the black-and-white photos, but people can still imagine the rich blood red and even smell the smell of fishy and salty blood

"Wow..." Cui Lizhu was stunned and whispered behind Miao Ying, "is the police officer shooting the crime scene an artist?"

"Shh..." hearing this, Wu Xiumin quickly pulled Cui Lizhu and asked her to stop.

"In those years, after the murder, the residence was basically deserted!" The middle-aged agent continued, "no one dares to live there anymore!

"I asked the old criminal police that year. They said that after the case was closed, someone removed the old bathtub, but later the mansion was changed into a museum. In order to restore the original appearance as much as possible, people installed a bathtub!

"Although it's just for decoration, the bathtub is really a real bathtub, but no one thought that after 40 years, the case turned out to be..."

"Captain Shao," said Miao Ying, "we have seen the file about the red bathtub case in those years! So, next, let's focus on the case in front of us!

"Since the Zhou residence was the first place where the red bathtub case occurred, the imitator today may not just want to do a case!"

"Well, yes, that's what we're most worried about!" As like as two peas, Shao Xuejiang, a local Interpol captain, said after finishing his thoughts, "in May 2nd, two days ago, the homicide case happened again in the Zhou Gong hall. The scene of the crime was exactly the same as the red bathtub case 40 years ago."

Then, with the photo conversion on the big screen, people soon saw the latest case photo.

As soon as they saw the latest photos, the team members were stunned again!

But as like as two peas of 40 years ago, the photo of the latest case was found to be almost identical.

The photo in front of me is just more colorful than the old one. It seems to be a renovated photo of the old one

"How... How could this happen?" Cui Lizhu couldn't help but say, "should you check the person who took the picture at the beginning or now?

"This picture is too close?"

"Well... Cough..." Captain Shao coughed awkwardly and said, "we... Well, we'll check it!"

"Xiao Cui," Miao Ying motioned to Cui Lizhu, "how about listening to captain Shao's introduction of the case and then expressing your opinions?"

"Oh..." Cui Lizhu sat down gray.

"The time of the crime should be between the evening of May 1 and the early morning of May 2.

"That night, a night shift attendant was on duty at the guard, but because the location of the crime was located in the northeast corner of the residence and could not be seen in the guard room, the guard didn't notice the abnormality that night. Only when he got up the next morning to open the door and clean up, did he find the scene of the crime..."

"Wow..." ran Tao scratched his head and said, "this guy must be very scared? In the future, I'm afraid no one will dare to come here as a guard... "As can be seen in the picture," Captain Shao said, "the crime scene is almost the same as it was 40 years ago, regardless of the shape and details of the body“ The deceased was also a young woman with long black hair. The autopsy report pointed out that she was injected with sedative drugs before her death, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss... "Look, the arteries of the victim's left and right hands were cut by the murderer and cut into an 'x' shaped wound. In addition, there were traces of candles and charcoal burning at the scene. It is suspected that the murderer had held any sacrificial ceremony at the scene“ This is the same as the original murder in the red bathtub. After Peter was arrested, the police also found a large number of sacrificial and witchcraft items from his home, including charcoal burning and white candles... "Well..." Miao Ying asked, "what's the identity of the dead? Have you verified it? "“ No... "Captain Shao shook his head and said," at present, we haven't found out the identity. We compared the recent missing report and the database with DNA, but... We didn't find a match! "“ The murder in the red bathtub... "Wu Xiumin said," the victims are all dusty women in entertainment places. Will... This girl... "" I understand what you mean, "Captain Shao said," I've sent someone to investigate! "“ Well... "Miao Ying asked again," since the Zhou residence is a museum, there must be monitoring? "“ Yes, "Captain Shao said reluctantly," the murderer obviously came prepared and destroyed the monitoring of Zhou residence in advance! "“ Not inside, not outside? " Cui Lizhu asked, "the murderer sneaked into the residence with a big living man, and he also brought a lot of sacrificial supplies. He had to fill the fish tank with water. This operation is not simple“ Check the surveillance and you'll always find something. "“ Yes... Although the nature is a little different, this kind of case is not a difficult and miscellaneous case for the police, is it? " Ran Tao felt the same way. "Isn't there a guard? The killer can't come in through the front door, can he? "“ Zhou residence has a back door... "Captain Shao said," the back is connected with the streets with complex road conditions. We suspect... The murderer should have entered the residence from there! "“ Is there any sign of breaking? " Miao Ying asked“ No... "Captain Shao replied," no matter the back door or the residence gate, there is no sign of being forcibly broken open! The murderer should have got the key in advance... "But... Even if he got the key..." Captain Shao shook his head and said, "the back door of the residence can only be opened from the inside, but it can't be opened from the outside..." Oh... "Listening to the case introduced by captain Shao, Miao Ying finally understood the difference of this case. Interesting...
