Chapter 1836: The Scene of the Crime
By the time Zhao Yu and the others came to the scene of the crime, it was already completely dark.
Due to the narrow roads in the complex, they had to park their cars outside and walk in.
Not only did the yellow line pull up outside the Guandi Temple, but there were also many police officers on duty.
Perhaps, because this case came more evilly, the police officers on duty far exceeded the normal case, and there were as many as a dozen.
However, even so, Zhao Yu could clearly feel that the expressions of these police officers were still unnatural, and he was obviously still faintly worried in his heart.
Although the Guandi Temple has been renovated recently, it still looks extremely dilapidated, and the temple exudes a foul smell, which makes people uncomfortable.
For this reason, the police officers under Zhang Ling also specially prepared masks for Zhao Yu and others, but Zhao Yu himself did not wear them.
All the headlights in the temple had long been damaged, and the police had temporarily prepared a few lights, and when Zhao Yu entered, they were all turned on, as bright as day.
"This is the scene of the crime," Zhang Ling took Zhao Yu to the back of the statue and introduced, "It was blocked by the statue, so it was not easy for people who entered the Guandi Temple to notice!"
"So......" Zhao Yu looked at the scene and asked, "Who found out?"
"It rained heavily yesterday," Zhang Ling said, "Director Zhang Yun of the Demolition and Relocation Department and his colleagues were investigating the community, and it was raining too much, so they hid in the temple to avoid the rain, and found the victim!"
"What time?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"Around 12 noon," Zhang Ling said, "I immediately reported to the police after discovering the victim, and the criminal police from the sub-bureau rushed to the scene first, and then notified our city bureau ......."
"Have you asked the residents?" Zhao Yu continued, "Do anyone usually come here?"
"Very few," Zhang Ling replied, "We asked the neighborhood committee, the streets, and the residents, and they said that no one came to this Guandi temple to burn incense, and although the door was open, only some truant students would come here on weekdays and smoke here......
"We have started door-to-door investigations, and we have also sent a team of people to nearby schools to inquire about ......"
Just as Zhang Ling was speaking, Zhao Yu took the photo of the crime scene, walked behind the statue, and began to think seriously about something.
Seeing Zhao Yu's serious thinking, Zhang Ling wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak out.
"Leave me alone......" Zhao Yu said without raising his head, "You continue to talk about yours, I'll listen!"
"Oh......" Zhang Ling continued, "The forensic department did not find any suspicious fingerprints and dander tissue, and the fingerprints found on the guqin were all the deceased himself.
Also, the deceased was dressed up as a Taoist priest, and the Taoist clothes were not real Taoist clothes, but from the perspective of fabrics and styles, they were more like costumes for filming TV or performances.
"It's time for us to send people to find a channel, and they'll compare the composition of the fabric one by one. However, there are a lot of theater troupes and film and television companies here in Andu, huh...... They...... Well...... It will take some time ......"
The reason why Zhang Ling became distracted was because he found that Zhao Yu sometimes stood and sometimes meditated, and in the end, he was still lying on the ground, and he had goosebumps when he saw it. It was the first time he had seen someone survey the scene of a crime like this.
"Also...... There are ......" Zhang Ling could only continue to introduce, "We also sent someone to investigate the interpersonal relationship of the deceased Niu Jinkui to see if it was a vendetta ......"
"Vendetta...... Cui Lizhu shook her head and said, "This case looks ...... It's not like a vendetta!"
"......Indeed," Zeng Ke nodded and said, "It feels a bit like the case in France that the team leader mentioned before!"
"You mean...... Is there an oil painting murder case?" Cui Lizhu said with deep sympathy, "We want to go together, I thought so just now!"
"Hmm...... Sister Wu," Cui Lizhu turned to Wu Xiumin and asked, "What do you think? Does it feel like the deceased is more like a work of art? Doesn't it mean that here in Fengtaowan, there is a pop ghost culture?"
"It's hard to say now," Wu Xiumin said cautiously, "we have to look at the corpse again before we can do a profile." On the face of it, this case is indeed different from ordinary crimes......"
"Fengtaowan is just a general term," Zhang Ling explained to Cui Lizhu, "and in the past, it generally referred to the southeast of the Andu area, along the Jiang'an River.
"It is said that there was a small city in the beginning, but then it was slaughtered and the whole city was killed.
"Those who escaped by luck later built ghost temples to commemorate these tragic deaths, and overlived the souls, so a unique ghost culture was gradually formed......
"But...... In fact, ghost culture still persuades people to be good and do more good deeds, but they don't teach anyone to kill!?"
"So......" Cui Lizhu looked at Zhao Yu and whispered to everyone, "I think this matter should have something to do with the ghost king case 66 years ago, I said this uncle ......" Cui Lizhu turned to Zhang Ling, "About that Tao Yulan, have you found anything?"
"Does Tao Yulan have any descendants or something? Does his descendants want to fulfill Tao Yulan's last wish?"
"Hmm...... Well...... this one" Zhang Ling's face was slightly embarrassed, "I...... We haven't found it yet, it's so old, we need time......"
"Tao Yulan is singing," Cui Lizhu added, "The victim who died now is also singing, if you want me to see, is there a notice or something?
"I'm willing to bet this case won't end there......"
After Cui Lizhu finished speaking, she suddenly realized her gaffe and quickly covered her mouth.
Although there is some truth in her concerns, it is obviously inappropriate to speak out in such a public, and it is a loss of her status as a special commissioner.
Sure enough, all the police officers present threw strange looks at Cui Lizhu, and the scene was slightly embarrassing.
"Captain Zhang," at this time, Zhao Yu finally recovered from his state of selflessness and said to Zhang Ling, "Our reminder from Agent Cui is not unreasonable, but ...... In this situation, it is obvious that it is not enough to just remind, and it is imperative that we catch the murderer as soon as possible!
"That's it......" Zhao Yu said solemnly, "Since the murderer has done so meticulously, then I believe he must have put a lot of effort into the deceased Niu Jinkui."
"So, you sent someone to find out all the surveillance videos about Niu Jinkui in the past month, observe and compare them one by one, and derive the videos to see if anyone is following him or secretly following him?"
"Oh! I understand, I understand......" Zhang Ling wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, nodded and said, "I'll arrange someone to do it!"
"Also," Zhao Yu said again, "Niu Jinkui's WeChat and address book have also been thoroughly checked by someone to see if there are any suspicious people or information."
"Finally, we have to investigate the video about Niu Jinkui on the night of the crime, and see how Niu Jinkui was kidnapped by the murderer that night......"
"We're already doing this, we're doing it......" Zhang Ling nodded, "Don't worry......!
"Go!" Zhao Yu said simply, "However, there is one more thing, I hope you can help me do it!"
"Oh, what's the matter, you just command!"
"Please bring me the book of "Ghost King Records" and show me...... "I still don't know, who are the ten ghosts recorded on it!"
"At least, you have to know which ghost king will be next, right?"
