Translator: 549690339
“Yunzhou, Special Investigation Group office, evening. ”
“””Sister Miao,”” Zeng ke reported to Miao Ying,””I checked the case records in the archive, but I didn’t find any similar cases!”” ”
“””Oh?”” Miao Ying pinched her chin and asked,””you searched all the major cities?”” ”
“Zeng ke explained,””it was an electronic screening. Not only in the major cities, but all the pending cases in the entire country in the 1990s were investigated!”” ”
“””Pending cases,”” cui Lizhu reminded him,””could it be that the case has already been closed, such as catching the wrong murderer?”” ”
“””Well, it’s not easy to investigate a solved case!”” Zeng ke said,””at that time, there was no online database. Cases that had been closed without any objections were generally not entered into the electronic database. We could only go to the local police stations to investigate …”” ”
“””Oh, okay then …”” Miao Ying said.””Maybe the left-ear murderer never came to our country?”” ”
“””Sister Miao, where did you get this information from?”” Cui Lizhu asked curiously,””why can’t I see any connection between the left ear case and the red bathtub case?”” ”
“””No, there must be some connection!”” Miao Ying stood in front of the whiteboard and pointed to something on it. “”We ignored the most important clue from the very beginning! ”
“””If we want to thoroughly investigate this case, the most important things are the White candles and charcoal powder left at the scene! ”
“””We have to figure out why the murderer would do this!”” ”
“””I don’t know about the rest, but according to what we know,”” cui Lizhu said as she stared at the whiteboard,””the serial murders that happened at Zhang Fengyi’s house must be related to some kind of evil secret technique, and this secret technique was practiced by Zhang Shixiong’s grandfather and Zhang Fengyi.”” ”
“””Wow …”” Zeng ke grinned.””You even used the word ‘cultivation’. You’re really something, Lil cui!”” ”
“””So,”” Miao Ying said,””next, we need to focus on investigating what they believe in! ”
“””Also, what they believe in, is it the same secret technique that Peter brought from Africa?”” ”
“””Sister Miao,”” cui Lizhu said.””I’ve already sent someone to contact Zhang Fengyi’s colleagues. According to them, Zhang Fengyi might have been in contact with Peter!”” ”
“””However, up until now, no one has been able to prove that the two of them really know each other … ”
“””I’m thinking about whether we should do a reverse investigation,”” cui Lizhu said.””Let’s find a few people who know Peter and ask them if they know the relationship between Peter and Zhang Fengyi!”” ”
“””Well …”” Miao Ying said,””I think so too. At this stage of the case, we have to take Peter’s case out and investigate it well!”” ”
“””Cui,”” Miao Ying said.””In addition to these, check if Zhang Fengyi’s father, Zhang Tingshan, knows Peter.”” ”
“””According to the information, Zhang Tingshan was once a sailor. He could even speak English. Therefore, he might know Peter!”” ”
“””I understand!”” “”Don’t worry,”” cui Lizhu said.””I’ll find out the family connections of these people!”” ”
“””Captain Shao,”” Miao Ying turned to Captain Shao and said,””send someone to investigate Zhang Tingshan, Zhang Fengyi, and Peter’s faith in the secret arts. See if anyone knows about it.”” ”
“””Yes!”” Captain Shao nodded in agreement and shared his thoughts,””I think Zhang Shixiong’s parents are the best Breakthrough. If we can find the people who believed in the secret arts with Zhang Tingshan, we should be able to know what it is!”” ”
“Wu Xiumin entered the office and reported to Miao Ying,””Zhang Shixiong’s father no longer resisted and told him everything! ”
“””What Zhang Shixiong’s mother said was all the truth. He wanted to say it a long time ago, but he was afraid that it would tarnish the reputation of his father and sister, so he chose to hide it …”” ”
“””Then …”” Miao Ying quickly asked,””did he mention what Zhang Tingshan and Zhang Fengyi believe in?”” ”
“””He did,”” Wu Xiumin said.””He said that he didn’t understand why his father, who was uneducated, believed in such things …”” ”
“””He said that the secret technique seemed to be something without any technical content. It was completely feudal and superstitious, but his father and sister believed it without a doubt … ”
“””However, Zhang-Fu was more honest. Although he had complaints and worries, he didn’t stop them … ”
“””It’s also because of this that he knew very little about the secret technique. The most unfortunate thing was that after his father passed away, he threw away everything related to the secret technique …”” ”
“””Tsk, tsk … What a pity …”” Cui Lizhu expressed her regret. ”
“””Then … Did they mention the White candle and the charcoal powder?”” Miao Ying asked again. ”
“””Yes, Zhang Shixiong’s father once saw Zhang Tingshan praying to God. There were seven candles, yellow paper, and a circle of charcoal …”” ”
“””He said that the scene was particularly strange and even a little scary. He was most worried that the charcoal would cause a fire …”” ”
“Zeng ke suddenly said,””why does it sound like Zhuge Liang’s seven-star life extending lamp?”” ”
“””Come on,”” cui Lizhu said, her eyes wide open.””Is it that incredible?”” ”
“””It doesn’t matter,”” Zeng ke said.””What we know is that the life-prolonging lamp didn’t work. Didn’t Zhang Tingshan and Zhang Fengyi die in the end?”” ”
“””I guess that’s the situation!”” Wu Xiumin guessed,””the father and daughter believe in this kind of secret technique. Originally, this secret technique was just an ordinary sacrifice! ”
“””But, after Zhang Fengyi contracted a terminal illness, their thinking changed. They thought of things like sacrificing living people …”” ”
“””Eh? “”Wait a minute,”” cui Lizhu suddenly thought of something and asked,””where’s Zhang Shixiong’s grandma? Was his grandmother still alive? Does his grandmother know?”” ”
“””Zhang Shixiong’s grandmother passed away a long time ago,”” Miao Ying said.””When Zhang Fengyi was still very young, she died of a lung disease.”” ”
“””Oh …”” Cui Lizhu pouted and said,””in that case, we have to think about it!”” ”
“””What’s worse is,”” Wu Xiumin said.””Zhang Shixiong’s father said that besides Zhang Tingshan and Zhang Fengyi, he had never seen anyone else believe in that kind of thing!”” ”
“””He didn’t know who Zhang Tingshan and his daughter learned it from, nor did he know who else believed in the secret arts with them. He only knew that Zhang Tingshan would go to a place called the four-corner Pavilion every weekend! ”
“””I guess he probably learned it from there!”” ”
“””Four-sided Pavilion?”” “”What is this place?”” cui Lizhu asked, looking at Captain Shao. ”
“””Oh …”” Captain Shao replied,””the four-corner Pavilion is an alternative name, specifically referring to the area around the four-corner Pavilion. It is an old residential area, which was demolished and rebuilt a long time ago. Now, it is a Botanical Garden …”” ”
“””But,”” he said to Miao Ying,””team leader Miao, leave this to me! I’ll send someone to ask the old men who moved out of the four-corner Pavilion if they know the origin of this evil secret technique …”” ”
