Chapter 1833: West Sichuan Ghost King Case

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the office of the Special Investigation Team of Yaoming City.

"From September 1953 to May 1954, several vicious serial murders occurred successively in the city of Xi'an, Sichuan," Zeng Ke was introducing an ancient document to Zhao Yu, "After the deceased was murdered, They were all made up into the appearance of fierce ghosts, sitting, standing, or hanging in the air, their appearance was very hideous and terrifying..."

During the introduction, Zhao Yu opened the documents in his hand, only to find that most of the documents were in traditional Chinese characters.

"It was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China," Zeng Ke understood Zhao Yu's intentions, and immediately explained, "A camera is a very luxurious item, so no photos of the scene were left.

"I only heard that there were painters who made paintings at that time, but whether they can be found depends on the west side of Sichuan!"

"Spooky!" Cui Lizhu shuddered, "It sounds like a thriller novel!"

"It's not a novel," Zeng Ke clarified, "It's not a rumor, it's a bizarre crime that actually happened!

"At that time, this case caused great panic in the entire city of Andu, almost reaching the point where no one dared to go out and the alleys were empty every night!"

"Then what happened later?" Zhao Yu asked, "Didn't the murderer be caught?"

"Yes," Zeng Ke said, "The murderer was finally caught by the police after killing five people! According to the information, the murderer's name is Tao Yulan, and he was a singer in an opera troupe!"

"Tao Yulan? This name... really looks like an opera singer!" Cui Lizhu asked, "Is it a man?"

"Yes!" Zeng Keyan said, "The police found the clothing and decorations used to dress up the deceased in this person's home, and also found a bottle of strong poison..."

"Poison?" Cui Lizhu was curious, "So, those dead were all poisoned to death?"

"Yes," Zeng Ke introduced, "however, because the testing methods at that time were backward, the ingredients of the poison are still unknown.

"In addition, what is even more bizarre is that the murderer died in prison inexplicably soon after being caught by the police. Some people said that the murderer committed suicide in fear of crime, and others said that it was due to excessive punishment, and Tao Yulan herself was sick. ...

"At that time, the trial was only halfway through. According to the information, Tao Yulan had confessed at that time, but there were still rumors that Tao Yulan insisted that she was wronged...

"But anyway,

Zeng Ke raised his head and said, "Since Tao Yulan was arrested, there has never been a similar ghost king case!" "

"Oh... Now that's the case..." Cui Lizhu said, "Then the rumors are all false? The police didn't arrest the wrong person at all?"

"We have to wait until we get to Andu to see if the local police can find the original materials!" Zeng Ke said, "Because the interrogation was not completed, we still don't know what the murderer's purpose is?

"It is said that all the dead have nothing to do with the murderer..."

"This case... makes me panic when I hear it!" Cui Lizhu shuddered again, and said to Zhao Yu, "Boss, are we really going to Andu?

"From 1953 to today, exactly 66 years, no one would think that the case that happened yesterday was committed by the same murderer as the ghost king case 66 years ago?"

"The situation is unclear now, so it's useless to say anything!" Zhao Yu said, "But one thing is very clear, if this case is not important, Chief Jiao will not call me in the middle of the night.

"So...we have to go to the west of Sichuan!"

"Really," Cui Lizhu sighed, "What about "Memoirs of a Murderer"? I just had some clues, so do I have to stop it?"

"This case was originally a guest appearance!" Zhao Yu said, "Wang Can and other special investigation teams are here! Let them investigate first...

"Oh... that's the only way to go!"

Zhao Yu's sigh was obviously disappointed. He knew better than anyone else that the memoir of murder had reached the most critical moment. If he could go deeper, maybe there would be a better result!

Unfortunately……

"This ghost king case really didn't come at the right time." Cui Lizhu sighed and asked Zhao Yu, "Boss, can you tell me first what happened to yesterday's case? Is it exactly the same as the ghost king case back then?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, then turned on his mobile phone, retrieved a picture from it, and handed it to Cui Lizhu.

As a result, Cui Lizhu's face turned pale after only one glance!

"My God!" Cui Lizhu said with a frightened face, "How could there be such a murder case in the world!?"

Seeing the frightened expression on Cui Lizhu's face, Zeng Ke hurried over to have a look, and upon seeing it, he was also taken aback.

But seeing a very strange picture appeared in the photo, the deceased was wearing a Taoist costume, his face was painted with heavy makeup, and there was a bun on his head...

What's even more strange is that the deceased was sitting cross-legged with a guqin lying in front of him. And the hands of the deceased were pressed on the piano, as if they were playing the piano...

However, the dead man's face was ferocious and terrifying. When paired with the Guqin, there was an indescribable fear. Just looking at it will cause great discomfort and shock!

"This..." Cui Lizhu asked in shock, "Isn't this a Taoist priest? This is also a ghost?"

"Now I know..." Zhao Yu put away his phone and said with a solemn expression, "Why did Director Jiao call me?

"Western Sichuan is the birthplace of our country's ghost culture," Zhao Yu said, "It is said that the ghost culture in Fengtaowan, Andu is older than the ghost town in Fengdu...

"In the local museum, there is an ancient hand-copied book called "Ghost King Record" with an ominous origin. The book records the stories of ten ghosts who died of injustice in ancient my country!

"It is said that Tao Yulan imitated this ghost king record back then to create the ghost king murder case that shocked western Sichuan! He dressed the dead he killed as the ghosts in the book. According to the order, it happened to be the previous one introduced in the book. Five ghosts!

"And the case that happened in the Guandi Temple in Andu yesterday," Zhao Yu said, "it happens to be the sixth ghost recorded in the book! This Taoist priest..." Zhao Yu gestured to his mobile phone, "The name is Guanxian, according to legend, is a hundred-year-old Taoist living by the Suishui River in the Spring and Autumn Period!

"Song Jinggong wanted to ask him for Taoism, but he refused, so Song Jinggong held a grudge and killed him. From then on, he became a ghost. Every day he went to the city wall of Song Dynasty to play the piano..."

"Wow..." Cui Lizhu was surprised, "Boss knows so much, he even knows legends!"

"What!" Zhao Yu grinned. "Director Jiao told me this last night. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night! I was so angry!"

Cui Lizhu and Zeng Ke were speechless at the same time...

"However," Zhao Yu quickly regained his composure, and said, "Of course, these legends are not the key. The most important thing is, why did this murderer start with the sixth ghost in the Ghost King Record?"

"Yeah..." Zeng Ke heard the strangeness of the problem, "Coincidentally, Tao Yulan happened to kill the fifth one back then, could it be... this murderer... wants to inherit Tao Yulan's legacy and record the Ghost King Kill all the remaining ghosts?"

"Wow!" Cui Lizhu turned pale with shock, "That would be terrible. In other words, there will be new victims in this case? Then... we must hurry up!"
