Crazy Detective

“At fouro’ clock in the afternoon, at Ximei gallery in Yunzhou city.”

“Look carefully …” Cui Lizhu reminded the police officers in charge of the search.”No matter what it is, don’t let go of any clues …”

“While he was talking, Zeng ke was checking Zhang Qile’s computer in order to find any relevant clues.”

“Team leader Miao,” Wu Xiumin said to Miao Ying, who was standing at the entrance of the gallery.”Although Zhang Qile is suspicious, I don’t think she really knows anything about it. Perhaps she painted that painting by chance!”

“Mm …” Miao Ying nodded and said,”if Zhang Qile was related to the case, then she wouldn’t have been so ostentatious as to draw and sell the painting!”

“I still suspect that she’s only seen the photos and not the actual person …”

“That’s troublesome,” Wu Xiumin said.”If it’s drawn according to the photos, then it has to be similar to one of the four red bathtub cases. However, the bathtub and the victim are completely different, and the scenes are highly similar. I’m really worried that there’s something else to the red bathtub case!”

“Mm …” Miao Ying took a deep breath and said,”in the past, I only thought that Zhao Yu was a jinx, and that wherever he went, strange cases would happen!”

“It seems like I can’t say that anymore …”

“Wu Xiumin then asked,”speaking of team leader, did he contact you?” When will his mission end?”

“I don’t know …” Miao Ying shook her head, a hint of sadness in her eyes.”His missions are all Top Secret!”

“Oh …” Wu Xiumin thought for a moment, then brought the topic back to the case.”Sister Miao, I think we have to find some experts to study the painting!”

“Zhang Qile is a realistic artist. Can we look for the victims according to her drawings and see if they are missing people?”

“Mm …” Miao Ying nodded.”Also, we can study the details of the painting and see if there is a prototype in reality. Could there really be such a place and that bathtub?”

“AI!” Wu Xiumin sighed softly, then voiced her doubts.”I still think that there are many things in this case that can’t be explained!”

“For example … How did Zhang Qile get killed?”

“From the surface,” Miao Ying said,”it’s likely because of the painting …”

“But, we found the painting,” Wu Xiumin reminded him.”If the murderer really wanted the painting, why didn’t he destroy it?” she asked.”

“Also, that painting was created seven years ago. If the murderer didn’t want Zhang Qile to draw it, why didn’t he stop it at that time?”

“Why … Did you wait until now?” he asked.”

“Based on the evidence we have, the murderer should be related to the red bathtub case and Zhang Qile!” Miao Ying said,”if it’s really related to the red bathtub, then there’s indeed something else to the case.”

“Secondly, the murderer is imitating Peter perfectly!”

“But …” Wu Xiumin’s eyes suddenly lit up.”No matter how we speculate, this person must be quite old!” So … Could it be … Teacher?”

“Oh?” Miao Ying’s eyes were wide open.”You mean … Zhang Qile’s teacher?”

“Chen Jinghua … Do you still remember?” Wu Xiumin asked,”did Zhang Qile once become Chen Jinghua’s disciple?”

“But, Chen Jinghua …” Miao Ying shook her head and said,”Chen Jinghua is already over eighty years old!”

“Perhaps it’s another teacher? For example, the Academy of Fine Arts?” Wu Xiumin said,”or maybe the murderer is one of Chen Jinghua’s apprentices? This disciple has a close relationship with Zhang Qi le…Or …”

“Good, good!” Miao Ying pondered for a moment, then said to Wu Xiumin excitedly,”in that case, you can go and investigate it, sis Wu. For safety’s sake, you can ask Tao to accompany you!”

“Alright!” Wu Xiumin immediately took out her mobile phone, nodded, and said,”leave it to me!”

“After that, Wu Xiumin left the gallery.”

“Miao Ying stood where she was, deep in thought.”

Was there really a hidden story behind the case from 40 years ago?

Peter … Has accomplices?

Or was he just a scapegoat?

The real murderer had never been exposed?

Would he?

Peter died of a sudden disease before being interrogated. Was it … Not an accident?

“The most terrifying thing was that if the scenes in Zhang Qile’s drawings were based on real events, then … Could it be that the red bathtub did not end with Peter’s arrest?”

The real murderer just changed his method and didn’t expose the body?

“If that was the case, then the nature of the case would have completely changed!”

“If the truth was really revealed, then the impact of this case might even surpass that of the ghost king case in western Sichuan!”

“But … All of this was just a hypothesis. If he wanted to prove his thoughts, he needed more evidence …”

Then … How should I start?

Should I … Restart the red bathtub case that was closed forty years ago? If he did that … What would the consequences be?

“At that moment, Miao Ying felt the weight on her shoulders and the pressure was as heavy as a mountain.”

She could never have imagined that a seemingly simple case would become more and more complicated …

“The murderer was very careful and did not leave any traces, whether it was the kidnapping or the murder.”

Could it be that … There was more than one murderer?

What method did they use to avoid so many surveillance cameras and not leave any traces?

Tsk tsk …

“Just as Miao Ying was pouting, her phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.”

“Hey!”

“A familiar woman’s voice came through the phone. It was Miao Ying’s mother, Xu Qin.”

“Mom? Why are you here?” Miao Ying was surprised.”

“AI! “Zhao Yu, you bastard …” Xu Qin’s first words were directed at Zhao Yu.”Miaomiao, he still hasn’t written to you?”

“I didn ‘t, why?” “Did something happen?” Miao Ying asked.”

“I’ve just received the latest inside news,” Xu Qin said in a low voice.”The five agents who were captured by the enemy have been rescued. They’re in Hawaii!”

“What?” Miao Ying was speechless.”He … He was rescued. No… Could he be …”

“A masked man,” Xu Qin said.”According to the person involved, the person who saved them was a thick-skinned man who liked to flatter himself. Who else do you think could it be other than Zhao Yu?”

“But … But …” Miao Ying was shocked.”How could Zhao Yu know where they were locked up? How could he have run so far away without being discovered?”

“The point is … Since he knew the location, why didn’t he call for secret services? Did those few people see clearly? Can you confirm that it’s Zhao Yu?”

“Don’t get too excited. Mom was worried about you, so she told you in advance,” Xu Qin said.”According to the secret agent, the mysterious man retreated in one piece. At least his safety is not a problem!”

“The only thing I don’t understand now is,” Xu Qin continued,”since he has already saved five agents, why isn’t he showing himself?”

“Don’t tell me … He’s planning to do something else?”

“Oh …” Miao Ying suddenly understood.”Zhao Yu … He must be in Paris now!” I know him the best. He’s definitely trying to save amiola!”
