Crazy Detective

“In the middle of the night, Zhao Yu sat alone on the office chair. He looked at the starry sky outside the window and thought about his own things. ”

He could have had a good night’s sleep in the police dormitory if Xi menna had not bothered him.

“Unfortunately, Ran Tao, who was Zhao Yu’s roommate, was snoring so loudly that he couldn’t sleep. So, he had to go back to the office and continue to think about the case. ”

“Although he judged that the murderer might not have seen the real scene of the female corpse under the bridge, but had only heard of it. However, it would be extremely difficult to find such a person. ”

“After all, the media was so developed nowadays, and the murderer who imitated the female corpse under the bridge case might not have found out about it through some channels. ”

“Now, it seemed that they had to start investigating from the clues left at the scene and the murderer’s motive. ”

“From the evidence at the scene, the murderer had left footprints. Judging from the footprints, the murderer should be a man about 1.8 meters tall. ”

“In addition, the police found fresh tire marks on the ice on the east side of the red flag bridge. They suspected that the murderer had used a small tricycle to transport the bodies. ”

“With Wu Xiumin’s efforts, the police had found a suspicious tricycle in Hongqi Town. ”

“The tricycle belonged to a worker in the boiler room. Since all the people living in red flag town were factory workers, this worker didn’t lock the tricycle every day. He just left it in the courtyard of the boiler room, and anyone could use it. ”

“After an investigation, the police had ruled out the possibility of the boiler driver being the culprit, as he had just celebrated his 70th birthday this year and had been paralyzed before. ”

“Also, his height and weight did not match the footprints left at the scene. ”

“Therefore, Wu Xiumin concluded that the murderer should be someone who was familiar with the red flag. The reason why he used three-wheeled vehicles to transport the bodies should have been premeditated! ”

“The boiler driver claimed that sometimes, some workers would borrow the tricycle from him because they were in a hurry. Wu Xiumin was looking for the relevant personnel according to the clues provided by the boiler driver. ”

Tsk tsk …

Zhao Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. His mind started to recollect the situation on the night of Chi Meixin’s death.

“After having dinner in the factory’s cafeteria, Chi Meixin crossed the frozen lake and returned to her dormitory in red flag town … ”

“However, for some unknown reason or time, Chi Meixin had left the dormitory and gone somewhere else. ”

“On the way, the murderer captured Chi Meixin and killed her. ”

“Later, the murderer took advantage of the night to steal the tricycle of the old man from the boiler room and moved the body to the river. He first lifted the tricycle to the ice and then put the body on the tricycle. ”

“Then, the murderer rode the tricycle towards Hongqi bridge, but when he was about to reach the bottom of the bridge, the tricycle could not cross because of the large Reed on the ice. ”

“Thus, he could only carry the corpse on his shoulder and walk through the reeds to the bridge. ”

“At that time, the murderer had already taken off Chi Meixin’s clothes, which resulted in many scratches on the victim’s body. ”

“After that, the murderer began to drill holes clumsily and made a mess. Finally, he managed to hang the body under the bridge and left in a hurry. ”

“The murderer’s method was very unprofessional, and it could be seen that he was very panicked when he committed the crime. ”

“However, other than the footprints, the murderer did not leave any other key clues. He did not know if it was luck or if he had made preparations in advance. ”

“Moreover, the most important thing was that there was no surveillance camera in the entire Hongqi Town, and no one found anything suspicious that night. This undoubtedly gave the murderer a chance. ”

“Of course, Wu Xiumin also concluded that the murderer must have known a lot about Hongqi Town, so he could have committed such a murder. ”

Then …

The strangest thing was that Zhao Yu still hadn’t found the murderer’s motive!

“Through her investigation, Wu Xiumin found out that Chi Meixin had never made any enemies in her hometown. Her life was very simple. Although her financial situation was not very rich, she had never owed anyone money … ”

“Therefore, in Wu Xiumin’s deduction, there was only one possibility left. The murderer had killed the wrong person! ”

Then …

Did he really kill the wrong person?

“If the murderer had killed the wrong person, then the murderer must have wanted to kill a woman who looked like Chi Meixin? ”

“However, Wu Xiumin had searched all the female workers in the dormitory, but she had not found a single problem. ”

“As such, the murderer’s motive for killing was even stranger! ”

“Thinking about it, when the murderer heard about the female corpse under the bridge case, he didn’t even take a close look at the actual scene before rashly killing Chi Meixin. What did that mean? ”

“This meant that …… He was extremely, extremely anxious to kill Chi Meixin! ”

“Also, Chi Meixin’s belongings had not been touched. The killing should not have been for money! ”

“If the murderer had captured Chi Meixin near red flag town, then the murderer should have had a lot of time to control her. However, Chi Meixin had not been violated. ”

“In other words, the murderer wasn’t lustful? ”

“If he didn’t want money or sex, then the only thing left was revenge … ”

But … Chi Meixin was an honest person and had never made any enemies …

“Now, it seemed that there was only one explanation left, and that was love killing! ”

“Perhaps Chi Meixin was in a relationship with a mysterious man, but this man had a family and was afraid of being exposed by Chi Meixin, so he killed her to silence her! ”

“On the night of her murder, Chi Meixin had left the dormitory quietly. It was possible that she was on a date with this mysterious man … ”

“However, Wu Xiumin had already done a thorough check, and whether it was her call records, online chats, or her colleagues ‘statements, there were no signs of Chi Meixin secretly dating … ”

She didn’t know if this man was hiding too deeply or if his thinking had deviated …

“Apart from that, Zhao Yu and Wu Xiumin couldn’t think of any other possible murder! ”

“But, Zhao Yu still felt that there seemed to be another reason for the murderer’s motive … ”

Could it be …

“He glanced at the words “female ghost in red” on the corner of the whiteboard! ”

Could it be …

“Zhao Yu had a playful yet serious expression on his face as he thought to himself,”could Chi Meixin’s death really have something to do with the Red Ghost that she had seen?” ”

Could it be that he had encountered another case related to ghosts?

“But … People couldn’t have been killed by ghosts, right? ”

A red-dressed female ghost …

Tsk tsk …

“Zhao Yu thought for a long time, but he had no clue, so he closed his eyes to rest again. ”

It was only then that he finally remembered his system.

“Due to the sudden end of the kun Gen Qian hexagram last time, the hexagram area had been frozen for seven days. Now that six days had passed, he could open a new hexagram soon. ”

“However, besides the attractive points and devices, Zhao Yu didn’t need to rely on the system as much as he used to. ”

“For example, in the case of the female corpse under the bridge, although the hexagram ended early, it didn’t affect his final solving of the case. ”

“Therefore, he didn’t have any expectations for the case in front of him. ”

“Zhao Yu was now more confident in himself. He believed that with his own efforts, he would definitely be able to bring the female corpse under the bridge case to a close. ”
