Crazy Detective

At night, in a restaurant in Yunzhou.

"So, this is the legendary wonton noodles," Ran Tao said as he picked up the noodles."It's not bad, but if little Nana was here, she would definitely think that it's too bland!"

"It's good to eat the food on the list," cui Lizhu said."It's late at night, so it's not good to eat too much!"

"Team leader Miao," Wu Xiumin pointed out of the window,"did you notice that a black car has been following us?"

"Don't worry," Miao Ying said."That's the Secret Service's special task force to ensure our safety. Don't worry too much!"

"Oh ..." Wu Xiumin nodded."If that's the case, I think we'd better avoid going out as much as possible in the future to save them trouble!"

"Ah, when little Nana and boss aren't here, I always feel like something is missing," cui Lizhu said with a sad tone."I hope they can come back soon!"

"We will," Miao Ying replied with certainty."But I hope that we can solve the case before Zhao Yu comes back!

"He said that he would wait for us at Li River ..."

"He's waiting for you!" Cui Lizhu muttered teasingly,"let's not be third wheels!"

"But ... I've never been to Guilin before," Ran Tao said."I really want to go and have a look. Don't worry, we'll go our own way. I won't be a third wheel!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Xiumin said,"alright, let's focus on the case!"

"It's obvious that the murderer is not a simple person. For him to be able to commit such a crime without leaving any traces, he was obviously prepared!"

"Yes, yes!" Ran Tao put down his bowl and echoed,"this case is similar to the live broadcast murder case. I'm just afraid that the murderer will commit another crime in a very short time!"

"Sister Miao," cui Lizhu asked,"that year, the first case happened in Chenyang residence. Where did the second case happen?

"Now, will this imposter follow in Peter's footsteps and continue to kill in the order of that Peter?"

"I won 't!" Wu Xiumin shook her head and said,"there were a total of four red bathtub murders that year. The first was in the bungalow at Chenyang residence, the second was in Milan hotel, the third was in a residential house on Baihe road, and the fourth was even worse, in the department store at that time ...

"Now, other than the house of the morning sun, the other three places are no longer there!"

"Wow!" Cui Lizhu was surprised."There's a department store?" What was going on? I ... Why didn't I see it?"

"Little cui, boss has told you about this problem before. You're too impatient when reading the files!" Ran Tao said earnestly,"the last case did happen in a department store that year. At that time, the department store also sold bathtubs ..."

"Wow!" Cui Lizhu was surprised."He's so bold!" Are there no security guards in the department store?"

"Yes, but Peter put sleeping pills in the water in advance," Wu Xiumin said."The security guards fell asleep, but there were still some flaws in the case, so the police traced it back to Peter, which led to him being exposed!"

"By the way," cui Lizhu thought of something and asked in a hurry,"Peter is a foreigner, and he killed people in Yunzhou. What was his sentence?" Was it the death penalty?

"Will he ... Will he take the diplomatic route?"

"No," Wu Xiumin said."This is the most incomprehensible part of the case. After Peter was arrested, it naturally caused a sensation. The British side did send representatives to discuss with us about how to deal with it ...

"However, at that time, Peter suddenly died!"

"Ah? It's that exciting?" Cui Lizhu said regretfully,"I should have read the file! Then ... How did he die?"

"I don't know," Wu Xiumin said."His death was very sudden. The autopsy at that time did not find the cause of death. Now, it seems that it was a cardiac arrest or something ..."

"This case is indeed legendary!" Miao Ying continued,"after Peter was arrested, the police found weapons, items from the dead, and many mysterious sacrificial items in his house. Peter also admitted that he was the red bathtub killer!

"But in the final confession, Peter's mind was suddenly in disorder. He died before he could explain all the details of the crime clearly!"

"Wow, this case ..." Cui Lizhu blinked her big eyes and said,"it's amazing!" Could it be ... That there was something wrong with the case back then?

"Does Peter have accomplices?"

"The case from back then may still have some questionable points," Miao Ying said."But it doesn't affect our investigation of the imitation case!

"The most important thing right now is to catch this imposter before he strikes again!"

"I feel like this case shouldn't be too difficult!" Ran Tao said,"I feel like it's much easier than the ghost king case!"

"You can't say that," Miao Ying said."Every case has its own uniqueness. We can't lump them together, nor can we compare them.

"The red bathtub case is a highly legendary case in the local area," Miao Ying said."If we can't catch the murderer in time, it is possible that more people will come to imitate him!"

"Hotel Milan, Hotel Milan!" Wu Xiumin said,"the second case happened in a hotel that year. Although the Milan hotel is no longer there, could the imposter be looking for a hotel to do the same?"

"A hotel? He must be crazy!" Cui Lizhu shook her head and said,"the hotels now are different from the hotels forty years ago. They have to register their real names, and there are so many surveillance cameras. It's too difficult to commit a crime in the hotel!"

"Wu Xiumin is right," Miao Ying thought for a moment, then said,"in the second case, the murderer might have chosen a hotel. We should take precautions!"

"Team leader Miao, prevention is not a solution," Ran Tao said."After eating, I will go to the vicinity of the crime scene to look for traces. Although there are complicated alleys behind Chenyang residence, there might be a car with a car camera, or someone might have installed surveillance equipment!"

"Yes," Miao Ying said."I'll leave the crime scene to you!

"Cui," she said to cui Lizhu,"you keep an eye on the identity of the deceased. When the identity is out, you'll be responsible for investigating the interpersonal relationships of the deceased!"

"Understood!" Cui Lizhu nodded in agreement.

"Zeng ke is already doing the data analysis, Zhang Peipei is examining the body, and Wu Xiumin," Miao Ying said to Wu Xiumin,"please do a profile of the murderer as soon as possible!"

"I'm very curious, what kind of mentality did the murderer have when he imitated the red bathtub case?"

"Yes, I'm working on it. However, there's one thing worth noting!" Wu Xiumin said,"for the red bathtub case, the police only released a small part of it to the public. The public only knew about the case, but they have never seen the photos of the scene ...

"So ..."

"Oh?" Miao Ying suddenly thought of the main point."You mean, this imposter might have access to the case file?"

"Right!" Wu Xiumin said,"as a copycat, the imitation is a bit too similar. Almost every detail is correct, so ... I have a feeling that this copycat didn't do it on a whim, but on impulse. He must have some hidden purpose!"
