Crazy Detective

Everyone in the Special Investigation Group's office was shocked.

"How did this happen?" Captain Shao was shocked."This case ... Is really unprecedented! Zhang Qile ... How could he have drawn such a painting?"

"So," Miao Ying rubbed her palms and said,"Zhang Qile's death could also have been caused by this painting?"

"The point is, this painting ..." Wu Xiumin frowned as she stared at the oil painting on the screen and said,"it's so weird."

"Yup!" Zeng ke trembled as he said,"the content of this painting is almost exactly the same as the red bathtub case. If it was really drawn by Zhang Qile, then ... Could Zhang Qile be ... Related to the red bathtub case?"

"Zhang Qile is 29 years old," Wu Xiumin said."The red bathtub case happened 40 years ago, so how could they be related?"

"Then ... There's only one possibility left!" Miao Ying looked at Captain Shao and said,"your case file was leaked, and Zhang Qile saw the photos of the crime scene!"

"No... No way?" Captain Shao swallowed his saliva and defended himself,"these are all confidential. As a police officer, how can you knowingly break the law?"

"Captain Shao, I'm not blaming you, but did you notice that," Miao Ying pointed to the oil painting,"the composition of this oil painting is very similar to the photos taken at the crime scene?"

"Ah? "You ... You mean ..." Captain Shao's lips trembled as he said,"someone leaked this photo to Zhang Qile?"

"Not only that ..." Miao Ying said."Maybe there are other possibilities. For example, the police officer who took the photos at the scene that year. Can you check if he has any relationship with Zhang Qile?"

"Oh ... I ..." Captain Shao had just taken out his mobile phone, but he suddenly remembered something and said,"the last time I reported, cui Lizhu's colleague mentioned this problem. So, after I reported it, I investigated it!"

"Zhang Shuai from the forensic science department was the one who took the photos. He ... He's already dead ..."

"Zhang Shuai, surnamed Zhang," Wu Xiumin caught the words and said,"Zhang Qile's surname is also Zhang ..."

"No, no, no," Captain Shao quickly waved his hand."No, I've checked. They have no relationship!"

"When did Zhang Shuai pass away?" Miao Ying asked.

"It was a long time ago," Captain Shao said."When the red bathtub case happened, he was about to retire. A few years after his retirement, he died of illness!"

"Then ..." In order to not miss out on any details, Miao Ying continued,"let's compare it with the other crime scenes that he had shot before!"

"Yes!" Captain Shao nodded in agreement.

"Now, let's talk about the painting!" Miao Ying turned around and asked Zeng ke,"when was this painting drawn?"

"In 2013," Zeng ke pointed at the computer and replied,"at that time, Zhang Qile had just graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. She was in the first batch of works that she had created after graduation. I just checked, and this work has already been bought!"

"Bought it ..." Miao Ying quickly asked,"who bought it?"

"I'm not sure," Zeng ke replied."As for who bought it and how much it was sold for, we haven't found out yet ..."

"Then hurry up and check!" "We need to know everything about this painting!" Miao Ying said excitedly.

"Leave ... Leave it to me!" Captain Shao took the initiative to volunteer."I'll also send someone to Yunzhou Academy of Fine Arts to ask ..."

"Okay," Miao Ying agreed,"then I'll leave it to you, Captain Shao!" Also, remember to check if anyone has touched the files of the red bathtub case in recent years!"

"Yes!" Captain Shao accepted the order.

"By the way, Bao Yicheng ..." Miao Ying pointed to Captain Shao's phone.

Captain Shao understood what Miao Ying meant and quickly called the police detective in charge of questioning Bao Yicheng.

The police detectives replied that there was basically no new information on Bao Yicheng's side. He claimed that after he had a fight with Zhang Qile, Zhang Qile had left on her own. After that, he had called Zhang Qile, but his phone could not be connected ...

"Team leader Miao ..." Wu Xiumin suddenly realized a problem."If Zhang Qile was really kidnapped when he left Bao Yicheng's house, then ... Isn't there a contradiction in the situation?"

"Mm ..." Miao Ying understood what Wu Xiumin meant, so she nodded and said,"from the whole process of the murderer's crime, the red bathtub case was premeditated and carefully planned!

"If that's the case, the murderer should have targeted Zhang Qile long ago. But ... How did he know that Zhang Qile would quarrel with Bao Yicheng and leave Bao Yicheng's house in the middle of the night to go home alone?"

"Yes," Wu Xiumin said."There is only one possibility that makes sense. That is, after the murderer confirmed the target, he had been following Zhang Qile!"

"If Zhang Qile had stayed at Bao Yicheng's house that night, the murderer wouldn't have made his move that day ..." He said.

"If that's the case," Captain Shao said hurriedly,"then we only need to carefully investigate Zhang Qile's surveillance data, and we will definitely be able to find the murderer?"

"There's one more thing that's worth noting," Miao Ying said."It's a matter of time. Zhang Qile went missing a day before he was killed!

"If she was really kidnapped on the night she left Bao Yicheng's house, then the murderer must have imprisoned her for a whole day before going to morning sun residence to make a move ...

"Then ... Where would the murderer imprison Zhang Qile?"

"I understand," Captain Shao said."I'll send someone to investigate it carefully. This person can't run away!"

After that, Captain Shao immediately arranged the investigation work.

"Team leader Miao," Wu Xiumin said, still frowning,"there are many questionable points in this case! I'm getting more and more confused about the murderer's goal!"

"Mm ..."

Miao Ying sighed, as well as Wu Xiumin.

Originally, this case could be characterized as a random selection of victims, either for revenge, or simply an imitation of the red bathtub case.

However, with the appearance of that mysterious painting, all of his previous assumptions had undergone a huge change!

The attention of the investigation had no choice but to shift to this painting.

Why did the murderer want to kill Zhang Qile? was it really because Zhang Qile had drawn that painting?

And how did Zhang Qile manage to draw a painting that was exactly the same as the red bathtub case?

What was her purpose in drawing this painting?

Tsk tsk ...

At that moment, Miao Ying could finally understand Zhao Yu's complicated feelings.

He could clearly see a lot of clues in the case before him, but through these clues, not only was the case not clear, but it became even more blurred!

Thinking of this, Miao Ying looked at the strange painting on the display again.

The painting was mostly painted in red, which made the crime scene look even more bloody and terrifying ...

Without a doubt, this painting was the key to solving this case!

Miao Ying really couldn't understand why Zhang Qile would want to draw this.

Was she trying to be a hot topic in the red bathtub case?

Or, was there some unspeakable secret hidden in this ...
