“Three days later, inside a safehouse Tokyo.”
“Lee Bencheng was chewing on a piece of green mustard sushi, and he looked at Zhao Yu in disbelief.”
“Zhao Yu had already transformed the living room of the safe house into a case analysis room. The wall, the whiteboard, and the table were all filled with case information.”
“My Mr. Crazy detective,” li Bencheng exclaimed,”it’s been three days and three nights. You’re really perseverant. I’ve already given up on investigating the rich people who bought Van Gogh’s famous paintings, but you’re still insisting on your art exhibition …”
“Hmm … How is it? still no leads?” he asked. Lee Bencheng took a bite of the sushi and said,”why don’t we follow the footprints of the murderer and see if we can find any clues?”
“You really know how to talk,” Zhao Yu said.”Do you think we should be traveling around the world?”
“But this isn’t the way, is it?” Li Bencheng said,”can we find the murderer just by this analysis?”
“You see, you’ve been looking for so many days, it shouldn’t be an art exhibition, right? “Neither are the rich,” Lee Bencheng said,”so, it can only be a businessman!”
“Shouldn’t we consider it from this perspective?”
“Old Li,” Zhao Yu said,”don’t talk nonsense. I asked you to investigate the Luofu road. Have you found it?”
“No, no…” Lee Bencheng shook his head and said,”there are very few people who know about this witchcraft. Furthermore, it’s in your country. If you can’t find it, How can I find it?”
“This kind of witchcraft is mainly used to treat illnesses,” Zhao Yu said.”Now, they suspect that Peter, who was involved in the red bathtub case, and Zhang Fengyi, who came later, both believe in this kind of evil witchcraft, which uses the blood sacrifice of young girls to overcome their own illness!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Peter is not as capable as a man, and Zhang Fengyi is suffering from a blood disease … I’m now suspecting that the murderer of the left ear we’re looking for might also be suffering from some incurable disease or terminal illness.”
“You mean, these people have all gone mad?” Li Bencheng said,”are they all fools? If he had killed one or two, he should have known that it was all a lie. Why did he kill so many?”
“Especially this left ear killer, 19! He’s clearly killing for the sake of killing!”
“Yeah,” Zhao Yu said.”I’ve seen a lot of such cases. At first, he might have been trying to save himself, but when he found out that it didn’t work, he became addicted and couldn’t extricate himself!”
“Just like left-ear killer, he did it for the blood sacrifice in the beginning, but he might do it for his own desire in the end!”
“Old Li, you see,” Zhao Yu pointed to the track on the whiteboard and said,”the left-ear killer had a short retreat between 1995 and 1999!”
“Something must have happened to him at that time! You can either go to jail, be hospitalized, or …”
“Or, he’s bankrupt and has no money to go abroad!” Lee Bencheng added.”
“Right! “That’s what I mean,” Zhao Yu said.”I think this is our first breakthrough!”
“Oh? The first one?” Lee Bencheng raised his eyebrows,”is there a second one?”
“The second one is the last few cases. As the murderer gets older and his skills improve, he will definitely leave important evidence in the later cases!”
“So, I’ve decided that if we really can’t do it, we’ll go to the places where the next few cases happened and see if the local police have found the identity of the murderer and so on …”
“Hey! You don’t have to go through so much trouble, do you?” Lee Bencheng pointed at the whiteboard and said,”the case in 2001 happened in Paris. We only need to call Senior Sister tuo Qiang and we’ll know everything.”
“No,” Zhao Yu said, shaking his head.”I don’t want to contact her anymore! Can’t you tell? The last time we met in Paris, Juliet’s attitude was clear!”
“If we look for her again, it might have a negative impact on her …”
“Besides,” Zhao Yu said,”it might be bad for us!”
“Alright then,” Lee Bencheng said,”it’s not that difficult, I can help you! I’m just afraid that the murderer didn’t leave any clues …”
“No, there must be!” Zhao Yu pointed to the picture on the whiteboard and said,”in the case of Lisbon, the wounds on the deceased were obviously more serious than before. This shows that the murderer is old and can no longer control himself as well as before!”
“I’m guessing that’s why he hasn’t made a move since 2003.”
“Also, I have a feeling that the murderer should only have a chronic illness, but not a fatal one,” Zhao Yu guessed.”So, he might still be alive!” Even if he’s no longer around, as long as we find him, we should know what the successor wants us to do!”
“Alright, maybe you’re right!” As he spoke, Lee Bencheng stuffed a large piece of sushi into his mouth.”
The smell of the green mustard did not seem to have irritated him. He was actually fine.
“Seeing this, Zhao Yu also picked up the same type of sushi on the table and ate it like Lee Bencheng. As a result, the pungent smell made Zhao Yu cough violently.”
Cough cough … Cough cough …
He coughed so violently that even the rice of the sushi was spat out. It was so embarrassing …
“Lee Bencheng wanted to laugh, but just as he raised the corner of his mouth, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes suddenly widened, and he said to Zhao Yu,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu! “Stop, listen to me …” Lee Bencheng said hurriedly,”didn’t we discuss the differences and similarities between the left ear case and the red bathtub case before?”
“Cough cough … Cough cough …” Zhao Yu’s face was as red as mustard. He couldn’t speak, so he could only make an OK gesture.”
“We were guessing that left-ear assassin was also a disciple of that Luofu path Magus? So he, like Peter and Zhang Fengyi, killed people through blood sacrifice in order to get rid of his chronic disease and seek longevity?”
“Cough cough … Cough cough …” Zhao Yu opened a bottle of mineral water and rinsed his mouth. He could finally speak,”what are you trying to say?”
“I want to ask, why didn’t Peter and Zhang Fengyi cut their ears, but this left-ear killer did?”
“This …” Zhao Yu still didn’t know what he meant, but he instinctively felt that Lee Bencheng’s words were important.”
“Zhao Yu!” Li Bencheng grabbed Zhao Yu’s arm excitedly and said,”he cut off the victim’s ear. Could it be that he had only one ear?!”
“Ah?” Zhao Yu was stunned and couldn’t say anything.”
“All this time, because of the sunflowers and that article, we have all linked the murders to Van Gogh. But have you ever thought that Van Gogh was not the murderer?”
“Ping Cheng’s Xin Jia just happened to die in the sunflower print? The victims in Seoul happened to have sunflowers on them, but in the other left ear cases, weren’t there no more sunflowers?”
“One ear …” Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows and said,”you mean, the murderer also had one ear? Just because he was missing an ear, he wanted to use this method to grow another one? This …”
“Mm … Yeah …” Lee Bencheng and Zhao Yu thought of the same thing,”just for one ear, it doesn’t seem necessary to kill so many people, right?”
“Unless … Unless …” Suddenly, Zhao Yu thought of a possibility,”the murderer’s ear Kasaya is very important!”
“Oh? Is the killer’s ear important?” Li Bencheng was confused,”what … What do you mean?”
“F * ck!” This time, it was Zhao Yu’s turn to widen his eyes, clap his hands, and say,”old Li, do you think the murderer is a musician?!”
