Translator: 549690339
“In the middle of the night, when Zhao Yu and the others finished examining the bodies and walked out of the autopsy room, cui Lizhu shivered. She then held Wu Xiumin’s arm tightly and said, ”
“””Big sister Wu, I don’t care. Let’s stay in the same room tonight. It’s too scary. I don’t dare to sleep alone anymore!”” ”
“Ran Tao patted Zeng ke on the shoulder and said,””I heard that Zhang Peipei will only arrive tomorrow. So, let’s share a room tonight!”” ”
“Zeng ke had the same idea, so he nodded. ”
“””Hmph,”” Zhao Yu reproached her in disdain,””look at you all, how scared are you? What special investigator? Wouldn’t he become a laughingstock if this were to spread? It’s just a murder case ... Seriously!”” ”
“Then, Zhao Yu turned around and said to Captain Zhang Ling,””Captain Zhang, don’t spend so much money tonight. Just arrange a three-person room for me, Ran Tao, and Zeng ke!”” ”
I’ll ...
“Everyone was shocked by Zhao Yu’s words. Captain Zhang Ling almost twisted her waist. After a long time, she quickly nodded and agreed,””Okay, okay, I’ll immediately inform the hotel to change your room!”” ”
“””Mm ...”” In order to ease the awkwardness, Zhao Yu gestured to Zhang Ling. The two came to the corner of the corridor, and Zhao Yu whispered,””to be honest, Captain Zhang, the criminal Division arranged for me to investigate this case. You should understand how important it is to the higher-ups, right?”” ”
“””Yes, yes, yes, I understand ...”” Zhang Ling didn’t know what Zhao Yu was going to say, so she listened carefully and nodded in agreement. ”
“””The ghost king case has a big impact on people’s hearts, so the higher-ups hope that it can be dealt with in a low-key manner,”” Zhao Yu said.””Especially since this case is related to the case from sixty-six years ago, and the media nowadays is so unreliable, if it were to spread out, the consequences ... Do you understand?”” ”
“””I understand, I understand.”” Zhang Ling nodded quickly.””Don’t worry, our bureau chief has already had an internal meeting. All the criminal Police officers and related personnel involved in the case must keep it strictly confidential and disclose it to the public. ”
“””Now, the outside world only knows that there was a murder in the Guan Emperor temple in wind peach Bay, but the matter about the ghost king has definitely not been spread out ...”” ”
“””Mm ... That’s good! “”That’s good ...”” Zhao Yu straightened up and said,””I hope we can catch the murderer as soon as possible!”” If there’s another case, it won’t be easy to handle ...”” ”
“””I understand. We will do our best and listen to your instructions ...”” Zhang Ling promised, then handed a file box to Zhao Yu.””Oh, this is the record of the ghost king that you asked me for before. As the museum needs to apply strictly, we entrusted them to scan the original! ”
“””But ... It’s all in traditional Chinese, so it might take some effort for you to read it. You can read it first. I’ve already found a relevant expert to translate a new book for you. It will be done by tomorrow ...”” ”
“””Oh ... Thank you for your hard work!”” In any case, Zhao Yu was very satisfied with Captain Zhang’s working attitude. Compared to the police officers in Xiangjiang, he was much more proactive. ”
“””It’s nothing, it’s nothing. It’s my duty. By the way,”” Zhang Ling said,””this ‘record of the ghost king’ is a little damaged because of its age. ”
“””Also, this book is divided into three volumes, one top, one middle, and one bottom. Each volume records different kinds of ghosts. The first two volumes are about malicious ghosts like Ox-Head and Horse-Face, or Yaksha and Painted Skin. When you’re reading, just focus on the third volume!”” ”
“””Oh?”” Driven by his curiosity, Zhao Yu opened the folder and flipped through it. As expected, it was divided into three volumes. ”
“””This third volume records the famous ghosts who died unjustly in our country’s ancient times. There are a total of ten of them,”” Zhang Ling explained.””Some of these ghosts who died unjustly came from folklore, some were recorded in ‘liaozhai’,’God searching records’, or other ancient books. ”
“””When Tao Yulan killed people, she dressed up the first five of these ghosts, and this one in the Guan Emperor temple disguised as a Daoist just happened to be the sixth! ”
“””So, Madam cui was right. The two cases should be related!”” ”
Hmm ...
“Zhao Yu quickly looked through the book and quickly found the place marked with the words “”champion.”” He flipped through the book and saw an ancient illustration. ”
“In the illustration, there was a strange woman in red. The woman should be wearing a wedding dress. Her head was covered with red silk, and her face could not be seen. ”
What was even more terrifying was that the woman was carrying a white swaddled baby in her arms!
“Although the illustration wasn’t very clear, at first glance, it still made one’s scalp go numb and feel uncomfortable all over. ”
“””This ghost was called the daughter of the Dou family,”” Zhang Ling introduced.””Because she got pregnant before marriage, she was abandoned by the man. After giving birth to the child, she went to the man’s house with the child, but was beaten to death by the man’s family. From then on, she became a malicious ghost! ”
“””After she became a ghost, she went to seduce those unfaithful men and absorbed their Yang Qi, turning them into mummies ...”” ”
“””Wow ... This story ...”” Zhao Yu touched his chest.””I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before!”” ”
“””Yes, the lady of the Dou clan is from liaozhai!”” Zhang Ling replied,””because this story is more tragic, we didn’t dare to use it when we were filming the TV series back then!”” ”
“””So ...”” Zhao Yu pointed to the record of the ghost king in his hand and said,””this book should be after liaozhai?”” ”
“””No!”” Zhang Ling said with certainty,””records of the ghost king should have been completed in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was no liaozhai yet! ”
“””I think that the strange stories from liaozhai were adapted from the folk stories that the author had collected, so ... It’s very likely that the stories in liaozhai had borrowed from ‘record of the ghost king’, or from other channels ...”” ”
“””Oh,”” Zhao Yu said admiringly.””It seems that Captain Zhang has done his homework. You have even studied these small details ...”” ”
“””Oh ... You’re flattering me ...”” Zhang Ling was flattered and quickly explained,””actually, in the andu police station, we all know about the ghost king case from sixty-six years ago! ”
“””So, after this case, we were afraid that it would continue, so we read”” record of the ghost king “”early on ...”” ”
“””Mm, you’re scheming! Zhao Yu sighed.””It seems that we really have to hurry up! The next ghost king case could happen at any time!”” ”
“””Yes!”” Zhang Ling saluted.””I’ve already informed all the teams to take turns to rest and investigate!”” ”
“Zhao Yu turned to Zeng ke and said,””tonight, Zeng ke and I will be on duty. The rest of you can rest!”” ”
“””Don’t ... Don’t play with me, okay?”” Ran Tao said awkwardly.””You two keep an eye on the class while I go to sleep alone?”” No, we’ll go through thick and thin together. I strongly request that I watch the class with you two!”” ”
“Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and laughed. ”
“Ten minutes later, Zhao Yu and the other two men arrived at the office that the local police station had specially prepared for them. The three of them did not stay idle, but immediately started their investigation. ”
“Those who were looking for information were looking for information, and those who were watching videos were watching videos. As usual, Zhao Yu began to write his case investigation ideas on the whiteboard. ”
“However, after writing for a few minutes, he suddenly realized a problem and hurriedly said to Zeng ke,”” ”
“””Zeng ke, take a good look at the video recording of the deceased, Niu jinkui, that day. It seems ...”” ”
“””What’s wrong, boss?”” “”You didn’t find any clues so quickly, did you?”” Ran Tao asked. ”
“””No, I’m just a little curious ...”” Zhao Yu said.””If the zither was the deceased ‘s, Niu jinkui’ s, and the murderer didn’t go to the deceased’s home, then ... How did this zither arrive at the crime scene?”” ”
Zeng ke and ran Tao were still trying to understand Zhao Yu’s meaning.
“Zhao Yu continued,””if Niu jinkui was kidnapped by the murderer at night, then ... What about Qin?”” Did he go out in the middle of the night with his zither on his back?”” ”
