"Finished, finished..." in the safe house in Tokyo, Zhao Yu scratched her scalp and said, "the case is troublesome. Oh, no, it has changed!
"Lao Li Tou, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?
"We are looking as like as two peas in the left ear case. My daughter-in-law is looking for the same case. Oh no, as like as two peas. "
"I'm curious..." Li Bencheng said solemnly, "how can there be times when there are six gods without masters?
"How can you be so surprised when you've seen so many strange cases?
"What happened to this case?"
"My cat said that in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a red bathtub crime around the bathtub in Yunzhou!
"The victim was also a young woman, and the way he was killed was that he cut an X-shaped wound on the victim's wrist..."
"Red bathtub?" Li Bencheng bit his lips and recalled, "how are you so familiar? Gu Zhao seems to have told me, oh no, it's not Gu Zhao. Who is it? Is it Miao Kun? "
"Yes? Do you know about the red bathtub case? " Zhao Yu is curious.
"Yes," Li Bencheng nodded, "is the murderer an architect or an Englishman, right? What's your name again? "
"Bond, oh no, Peter, or... Peter?" Zhao Yu continued to scratch her head, "why is your brain not working! But it doesn't matter. My meow has packed and sent me the information... "
"What? Our case has something to do with the red bathtub? How... How did this happen? " Li Bencheng frowned and asked, "did the victim also have his ears cut off?"
"This is really not, and," said Zhao Yu, "the case has been 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 one shot in the left ear case!"
"I didn't cut off my ears, so... Do you have sunflowers?" Li Bencheng asked again.
"Looks like wood!" Zhao Yu answered.
"Well... The two cases may not be related!" Li Bencheng said, "maybe it's just some kind of coincidence?"
"But the X-shaped wound, as well as the charcoal and white candles left at the scene, are the same!" Zhao Yu stretched out several fingers, "also, the dead were young women, and none of them were violated..."
"Hey..." Li Bencheng said with his teeth clenched. "Has the case changed?"
"From the data," Zhao Yu added, "the earliest red bathtub case occurred between 80 and 82 years, but the murderer has been caught and died strangely!
"Now, my girlfriend found out that the red bathtub case was still taking place between 1989 and 92, but this time, the murderer chose to do it at his own home, so he hasn't found it yet!"
"I haven't found it yet, so how did I find it?" Li Bencheng was surprised and asked some unexpected questions.
"Fool, the murderer killed someone and buried the dead in his own house. Oh, it seems that it's in the wine cellar and has been dug out..."
"Oh... Well..."
"The murderer may be the owner of the house, a single woman with terminal illness! The woman died in 1994... "
"Well... Now that the murderer has been found, is it still connected with our case?" Li Bencheng wondered, "do you think the left ear case is the same murderer?"
"No!" Zhao Yu said definitely, "the left ear case in Toronto occurred in 1995. At that time, the woman was dead!"
"Then... What else?" Li Bencheng spread out his hands.
"We..." said Zhao Yu with a melancholy face, "may have overlooked some important things! For example, those charcoal and white candles, the murderer should be holding some kind of ceremony, and the killing also has a certain purpose! "
"It seems that it must be some kind of secret arts cult..." Li Bencheng murmured, "the murderer wants to use murder to complete some kind of ceremony, and... Um..."
"Moreover," Zhao Yu continued, "there should be some connection between the left ear case and the red bathtub case. From this point of view, it is indeed meaningful for our successor to let us investigate this case!
"What exactly does he want us to know?"
"Is that kind of evil magic that your successor wants you to know?" Li Bencheng was full of doubts. "What does he want?"
"Lao Li Tou," Zhao Yu turned to say, "no matter what this case has become, the left ear case does exist, and our previous ideas are not necessarily infeasible. I think we still have to work hard on this case!"
"But did you forget?" Li Bencheng said, "I have checked. During the period when shinka hiragi was killed, there was no large-scale art exhibition held in Tokyo!
"If so, they are all small and medium-sized, but there is no way to check them!"
"You... Um..." Zhao Yuzhuo asked thoughtfully, "how did you find it?"“ I can't tell you the secret, "Li Bencheng said frankly," but the result is 100% credible! "“ All right! " Zhao Yu said, "according to our previous analysis, if it is not a large-scale art exhibition, then the exhibits have to go through ordinary entry channels, so it is difficult to take the killer's ears out!"“ I don't think it's easy to infer, "said Li Bencheng." I have 100 ways to take one ear out of the customs“ For example, stick it under your armpit, "Li Bencheng said." you say, how do the customs check? "" Zhao Yu narrowed her eyes and whispered, "you pervert... However, it seems that there is a little truth!"“ Zhao Yu, "said Li Bencheng," is it possible that the murderer is a rich man with good money? Perhaps, he is not participating in any art exhibition, but doing business“ He kills in his spare time in business! "“ Well... "Zhao Yu followed Li Bencheng's thinking“ For example, this rich man worships Van Gogh, "Li Bencheng added," so he collects the victim's left ear? "“ But... "Zhao Yu shook her head and said," I always think the murderer is more likely to engage in art! Because if he is a rich man, he can buy what he lacks, and his sense of satisfaction is greater than that of ordinary people“ If it wasn't for serious psychological problems, I'm afraid it would be difficult to commit such a case? He already has everything. Why bother to commit a crime? "“ Sacrificial ceremony, evil secret, "said Li Bencheng." will it be the same as the woman you said? The murderer has a serious disease. He wants to use killing to gain longevity“ Just like... The detective in Chinatown... "I'll go. You can see a lot," Zhao Yu smacked. "But if it's really for longevity, why do you cut people's ears?"“ Ah? " Li Bencheng suddenly thought of something and said, "didn't the murdered girls be violated? Is it possible that the murderer was a eunuch“ He wants to use this killing technique to shake the wind? "“ I'm NIMA... So you've seen sword rain, too? " Zhao Yu narrowed her eyes“ Of course, "said Li Bencheng." this novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
