Chapter 177 Begins in 1988...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Luo Rui held the Type 92 police pistol and pulled the trigger continuously.
The Type 92 police pistol has a capacity of twenty rounds. This is a semi-automatic firearm independently developed by China. After it was released seven years ago, it was immediately equipped in the police force.
When Luo Rui first started practicing shooting, Liao Kang recommended this model.
After the target paper slid over, Luo Rui took off his earmuffs.
Nine shots hit the red star, and the tenth bullet missed slightly.
This result is not very satisfactory to him.
You know, Liao Kang hit the moving target with perfect accuracy, and he drew and fired the gun very quickly.
Luo Rui had competed with him before. As soon as he fired two shots, the opponent had already exhausted all the bullets in the magazine.
Not to mention, in the military shooting competition, there are also running, jumping obstacles, etc., which shows how difficult it is!
Practice for almost two months, Luo Rui can only say that his marksmanship is just for entering a house. There is still a big gap between him and the guys in the SWAT team.
The shooting range in the suburbs has a dazzling array of firearms.
The pistol was tied to the rope. The instructor took the pistol and saw Luo Rui frowning, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, you are making rapid progress. No one can become a hero after a short period of training. Sharpshooter’s.”
Luo Rui took off his goggles and gloves and curled his lips: "It seems like it's not just about spending a lot of money."
The instructor was silent, he knew the identity of the person in front of him, the criminal team leader of Haijiang Division. , although there is no establishment, but the ability is not small.
Besides, this guy has spent tens of thousands in the shooting gallery, and the cost of bullets alone is not a small amount.
To have such results now is already very good, but who knows that the other party has high requirements.
I have to compare myself with the monster Liao Kang.
Who is Liao Kang?
He won consecutive shooting championships in military shooting competitions. After transferring to the police system, he first started as a sniper of the special police. Because of his outstanding performance, he rescued hostages many times, and was later transferred to the anti-narcotics team. A few years later, he became the captain of the anti-narcotics team.
Luo Rui breathed out and looked at the instructor: "Thank you, let's do this for today."
The instructor nodded: "For shooting, you need to be proficient not only in the movements, but mainly here."< br>
He pointed to his heart.
"Be calm, be 100% focused, even if you are in a hail of bullets, you must remain calm and rational!"
Luo Rui nodded, Liao Kang also told him this.
After leaving the shooting range, he got into the car and drove to school.
It is now seven o'clock in the morning, the weather is sunny, the snow from the past few days has melted, and the temperature has risen sharply.
After the beginning of the new year, there were not many new cases in Haijiang Branch. Wei Qunshan rarely called Luo Rui to help, probably because he was afraid of disturbing his study.
Luo Rui was also happy to resume his original identity. As a student, of course he focused on studying.
A few years ago, Wu Chaoxiong had repeatedly asked Luo Rui to complete his studies. This was of course for the sake of his future promotion and career. Luo Rui was not a fool.
Luo Rui spent a lot of money to hire several professors and made up for it, so he could pass every course in the make-up exam at the beginning of the semester.
The school allowed him to skip a grade and advance to senior year, but senior year is the last semester. Students rarely attend classes, and many study in the library.
Of course Luo Rui no longer attends classes with Zhao Xiaohu and Li Ya.
Several professors found an empty classroom and took turns teaching him four years of college theoretical knowledge.
Although his progress in marksmanship is average, Luo Rui's study has improved greatly. He has now completed all the courses for his sophomore year.
The joint public security examination is usually in January, before the Spring Festival.
Luo Rui plans to study for a year and plans to take the exam in January next year.
After this, he can join the police and put on the police uniform.
One year is neither long nor short.
Luo Rui is only nineteen years old this year. Being able to enter the police system at the age of twenty is considered young and promising.
After walking around the school, his appearance immediately attracted the attention of some people.
Students all know that Luo Rui has advanced to senior year. They know that he is awesome, but they don’t know that he has gone through the back door.
But no matter what, he has become an outlier in the Criminal Police Academy.
Because of the change in status, Zhao Xiaohu and Li Ya rarely interacted with him.
This made Luo Rui feel somewhat lonely, but Qian Xiao was different. This girl was always pestering him.
He had no choice but to avoid her as much as possible. Although Qian Xiao was very beautiful, she was not his cup of tea.
Luo Rui studied all morning, had a brief lunch in the cafeteria, then went to the library to read with his books in his arms, and returned to the classroom in the afternoon to study [Police Command and Tactics].
Hearing the name of this subject, he also knew what he would do in the future. Luo Rui had to improve his knowledge in this area.
In addition, he also read a lot of criminal cases, and there are books on this in the school library.
In the 1990s, the crime rate was high.
After the economy improved, many vicious bandits spawned.
In the past few days, Luo Rui has been thinking about these cases.
After coming out of school, he just got in the car and suddenly thought of something.
As a result, he was immediately stunned while sitting in the driver's seat, and then became extremely excited.
He kept tapping the steering wheel with his hands, feeling shocked.
Luo Rui gritted his teeth and calmed down, then started the car and drove to the Haijiang Branch.
When he arrived at the place, he didn't lock the car door and hurriedly ran into the criminal investigation office.
Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan were sitting at the desk. When they saw him, they immediately stood up.
"Team leader, why are you here?"
Luo Rui asked them: "Where is Du Feng?"
Chu Yang pointed to the corridor: "The team leader is in the office."
Luo Rui walked into the corridor and knocked on the door. After hearing "Please come in", he pushed the door open.
Du Feng is sitting behind his desk, holding a microphone in his hand.
After seeing Luo Rui, he pointed to the guest sofa.
Luo Rui did not sit down. After he finished the call, he said directly: "Captain Du, do we have any files on the serial murder case that occurred in Baijin City in 1998?"
< br>Du Feng frowned when he heard this. "What? Did you learn about this case in school?"
Luo Rui took the opportunity to reply: "Yes, the professor asked me to take a look, but the information in the school is incomplete. I wonder if our police station has this case. "
Du Feng stood up: "There are no detailed files. After all, this is a case that happened in the northwest and is not under our jurisdiction. However, for such a major case, almost all police stations across the country were paying attention to this case in those years, and there is a lot of detailed information. I’ll get it for you.”
He walked around from behind his desk and walked out of the office.
Luo Rui followed him.
Du Feng took a few steps slowly and walked side by side with him.
“This case started in 1988, with a total of eleven victims. It has been so many years. The local police station restarts the investigation every year, but the murderer has not been caught yet.
I have also paid attention to this case. To be honest, if I can catch this murderer one day and comfort the souls of the eleven victims, it will be a great achievement!”
Luo Rui nodded. This case was the same as the Huacheng murder case over there in Bangzi. Due to the limited conditions at the time, the murderer was still at large.
Du Feng walked to the archives room, took out a large pile of information, and handed it to Luo Rui.
"Well, it's all here, but..."
"I know the rules. You can't take it out of the police station, so I'll just watch from inside."
Luo Rui picked up the documents and left the archives room.
At this time, a figure walked out from the innermost part of the archives room.
Du Feng was shocked when he saw him.
"Master, why are you here?"
Wei Qunshan raised the file in his hand: "Let me take a look at the old cases we have backlogged. The Municipal Bureau is restarting the investigation of old cases. , Our branch also needs to cooperate."
Wei Qunshan handed the file to Du Feng: "If you have nothing to do, go and investigate. This case is not big, and it is not a murder case. Just do it for a while. ”
Du Feng opened the file and looked at it carefully. This was a simple theft case, but the amount of theft was relatively large. The 200,000 cash the owner had left at home was looted by the thief. The case has been put on hold for two years, and no one has been caught yet. Thief.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Wei Qunshan put his hands behind his back and asked, "I heard a sound just now, Luo Rui is here?"
" He said he wanted to find information on the Baijin City serial murder case. He probably wanted to find some material to study."
Wei Qunshan frowned: "Study this case?"
Du Feng nodded.
“Did he find any clues about this case?”
Du Feng was startled and blurted out: “How is that possible! We are thousands of kilometers away from Baijin City. , How old was Luo Rui when this case happened? He hadn't learned to walk yet. What clues would he have? Master, don't be kidding."
< br>Wei Qunshan shook his head: "You don't know him yet. Luo Rui is different. He can often find clues that others don't notice. He will not come to check this case for no reason."
Finished , Wei Qunshan strode away. When passing by Cai Xiaojing's office, he saw Luo Rui already sitting at his desk, looking down at the information.
Luo Rui does not have his own dedicated office in Haijiang Branch. He and Cai Xiaojing share one.
Wei Qunshan did not disturb him, just stared at him for a while, and then returned to his office.
Luo Rui looked through the information carefully. Starting from the first case, it happened during the spring and summer of 1988, when a woman was murdered at home.
She was stabbed several times, her home belongings were looted, and she was molested by the murderer.
At first, the local police just regarded this case as an ordinary home invasion robbery and murder case.
But as time passed, women were murdered one after another, and some were raped after their deaths.
One of the youngest girls was also brutally murdered.
Due to limited information, there are no photos of the scene, but behind these cold words are the painful voices of each family.
The murderer can be described as extremely cruel and perverted.
The police profile of the murderer is no longer about killing for money, but about killing for fun!
Eighteen years have passed since the first case occurred. During these years, the local police never gave up the investigation and even collected male fingerprints from the entire city, but in the end they found nothing.
In his previous life, Luo Rui had heard about this case, but did not understand it in detail.
But he knew that the murderer would not be caught until ten years later.
Ten years!
These ten years! Letting this beast live in this world is unacceptable!
Although Luo Rui didn't know the ins and outs of the case, he knew who the murderer was and how he was caught by the police!
He looked up from the information, his eyes were red, and his heart was surging.
He must do something!
At this time, Cai Xiaojing walked into the office from outside, holding a stack of letters in her hand.
After seeing Luo Rui, she was surprised. Looking at the expression on his face, she frowned.
"Why are you here? You look unhappy?" Luo Rui exhaled and shook his head.
"It's okay, I'm just here to look for information."
Cai Xiaojing walked closer and looked at his desktop, and she saw the line of large characters on the information.
"Why are you interested in checking out this case?"
Luo Rui quickly turned over the information, looked at her, and changed the subject: "Just looking at it, by the way, why do you have so many letters in your hand?"
Cai Xiaojing returned to her desk, She placed the letter on the table.
"Get it from the complaint mailbox."
"Complaint letter?"
Cai Xiaojing opened a brown letter and unfolded the letter paper inside.
"Yes, we have to get it every three days. Many of them are anonymous letters. People don't dare to write their names. There are also letters of commendation. The ones our bureau has received the most this year are letters of commendation. However, there are also pranks. For example, this one..."
She unfolded the letter paper and showed it to Luo Rui. A red rose was drawn on the letter paper.
Luo Rui frowned and stared at the roses on the paper, but he was thinking about other things.
Cai Xiaojing said helplessly: "I don't know what kind of idle and boring people do this kind of thing. I receive one almost every week."
Luo Rui smiled. : "Maybe it was someone from our police station who did it."
Cai Xiaojing opened her eyes wide: "No way?"
Luo Rui analyzed: "Let me ask you, is it always you who goes to the mailbox to get the letter?"
Cai Xiaojing nodded: "That's right, before Director Wei transferred him, , no one cares about it, the mailbox is full, and no one cares. From then on, I was the one doing this, and I was even laughed at by Yang Qian. "
Yang Qian. He is the former criminal investigation team captain of Haijiang Branch, but he has resigned now.
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized what Luo Rui meant: "You don't mean to say that this letter was specially sent to me, do you?"
"Captain Cai, you are a famous police beauty in Haidong Province. You are still single. There is at least one reinforcement company who cares about you. Even your brother-in-law from the city bureau is interested in you. Tell me, who is this letter sent to? ?”
Cai Xiaojing blushed and curled her lips. She put the letter away and put it in the drawer. She had already received more than a dozen such letters.
She originally planned to get rid of it, but she was afraid of having anything to do with the case.
Now that Luo Rui said this, she wanted to throw away all these letters.
But in the end, she held back and looked at Luo Rui from the corner of her eye, who had his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Cai Xiaojing had no choice but to continue opening the letters.
There hasn't been much going on in the bureau these days, so she has been free for a while, unlike the second half of last year, when she was always busy outside.
After a while, Luo Rui finally opened his eyes. He took out a ballpoint pen from the pen holder, then opened the notebook on the table and started writing.
Cai Xiaojing has been paying attention to his movements and knows that he has something on his mind, but if the other party doesn't tell her, it's hard for her to ask.
Luo Rui wrote for a while, then raised his head, tore off the two pieces of note paper, folded them, and put them into his coat pocket.
He put away the information on the table and stood up.
“Captain Cai, I’m leaving first.”
Cai Xiaojing hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn’t ask anything and just said: “If you are tired from studying, you can go watch a movie. I have two..."
Before she finished speaking, Luo Rui had already left the office.
She sighed, opened the drawer, took out the letter with roses on it, and looked at it in a daze.
She was thinking about the night she was trapped in the amusement park activity room. If she had died at that time, she wondered whether Luo Rui would cry in front of her grave and lay a bouquet of bright roses in front of her grave.
If possible, not white, just red...
...
Luo Rui did not go to Du Feng, but returned the information directly to the archives , and finally left the police station.
As soon as he left, Wei Qunshan came to Cai Xiaojing's office.
"Where's that kid?"
After Cai Xiaojing saw him, she immediately stood up: "Just left."
Wei Qunshan frowned, walked around the office, and then walked to Luo Behind Rui's desk, he sat down in a chair.
Cai Xiaojing was confused by him.
“Wei Bureau, what’s wrong?”
"It's okay, you are busy with your business."
Wei Qunshan looked at Luo Rui's desk and pondered. He didn't believe that Luo Rui hadn't been to the police station for two months and suddenly came to simply check the case. .
You know, since 1988, the murderer of the eleven victims has not been caught yet. This is the deepest pain in the hearts of all local police!
In those years, the news and newspapers were full of reports about this case, and its impact could be ranked among the top major unsolved cases in the country!
Who is Luo Rui? Wei Qunshan knows him better than Hu Changyu. From Linjiang City Police Station to Haijiang Branch, the two have always cooperated without failure.
Therefore, Wei Qunshan was paying careful attention to Luo Rui's every move.
This kid can always bring miracles to himself.
However, can Luo Rui really find any clues about this serial murder case after so many years?
As Du Feng said, when the case occurred, Luo Rui had not yet learned to walk, not to mention that the two places were thousands of kilometers apart. This was too mysterious to think about.
Wei Qunshan smiled mockingly, stood up, glanced at the notebook on the desktop, and then left the office.
...
Luo Rui drove to the canteen next to the post office and bought envelopes and stamps.
He put two sheets of note paper into an envelope, then applied glue to the seal and affixed a stamp.
After thinking about it, Luo Rui was worried and asked the canteen owner to get a pen. He wrote a line on the back of the envelope.
There is a huge green mailbox in front of the post office.
While there was no one around, he put the envelope into the mailbox and finally left quietly.
Early the next morning, post office staff opened the mailbox and sent hundreds of letters to the sorting facility.
Because this was an urgent letter, the postman rode a motorcycle and delivered the letter to the postal train that day.
The train went over mountains and ridges, passed through countless tunnels and vast forests, and headed northwest.
On the fifth day, the letter was delivered to the local post office, and the postal staff riding a motorcycle took the letter to the Platinum Police Station.
On the morning of the sixth day, a female police trainee picked up a pile of letters from the mailroom and walked slowly towards the office building.
Although it is already February, it is still snowing in the northwest, and everything is white.
The policewoman went upstairs and returned to her desk.
Collecting and sending letters is usually done by trainee police officers, and this is what female police officers do.
While eating breakfast, she sorted the letters, preparing to send them to various departments immediately after finishing them.
But an anonymous letter attracted her, because there was a line written on the back of the letter:
[This matter is of great importance, Director Zhao Changgen personally declares it! ! 】
There are two heavy exclamation marks behind these words, which shows the caution of the sender.
The policewoman looked at the stamp and saw that it was stamped with the postmark of Guangxing City, but the sender and detailed address were not written on the envelope.
The policewoman hesitated for a moment, put down the half-eaten mutton steamed bun, picked up the letter and walked to the director's office.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Then she went to the conference room of the Criminal Investigation Team. Through the glass window, she saw Director Zhao having a meeting inside.
Both sides of the conference table were filled with people, all of them looking downcast.
One look at Director Zhao's face and one knew that he was angry. At this juncture, it was better to wait.
The policewoman was standing in the corridor like this, but Zhao Changgen immediately spotted her and waved to her.
The policewoman had no choice but to push open the glass door and walk in cautiously.
Director Zhao ordered her: "Go and call the director of forensic medicine."
The policewoman nodded and was about to leave, then immediately turned around and held the gun in her hand. The envelope was handed to him.
"I just received this. There is a line written on the back of the letter." The policewoman left after saying that.
Zhao Changgen sighed, turned the envelope over, and saw the message left by the sender.
He thought for a moment, then tore off the envelope and took out two sheets of notebook paper.
Opening the letter paper, he just glanced at the beginning of the letter, and then his pupils tightened, and he was stunned on the spot.
It took him a while to react, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued to look down.
The more he looked down, the hands holding the letter couldn't stop shaking.
The detectives present noticed the director's abnormality and looked at him one after another, but no one dared to say anything.
After a while, Zhao Changgen raised his head, his eyes red.
He quickly picked up the envelope, but did not see the sender or the sender's detailed address.
But now is not the time to care about this, Zhao Changgen stood up suddenly.
“Follow me!”
The deputy director next to him was puzzled and immediately asked: “Old Zhao, the meeting is not over yet, what’s wrong with you?”
"Hurry up, follow me!"
Zhao Changgen took the letter and walked out of the conference room quickly.
The detectives in the conference room quickly stood up and followed him.
In the deepest corridor of the Platinum Police Station, there is a room that has always been a thorn in the side of the local police.
This thorn has been pierced into their flesh for many years and has not been pulled out!
Zhao Changgen walked to the door, but suddenly stopped. He stretched out his hand, but did not dare to push the door open.
At this moment, the detectives behind him had realized something and were all stunned.
No one spoke, but they all held their breath.
This room existed eighteen years ago.
Time seems to go back to 1988...
At that time, Zhao Changgen was still an ordinary criminal policeman. He participated in solving this major case, but in the end his efforts were in vain.
He held back his excitement and gently pushed the door open.
This is a room of more than 100 square meters. There are countless red lines on the four walls, connecting the victims' photos, notes and newspaper briefings.
Photos of eleven female victims came into view.
The youngest girl is only eight years old!
Zhao Changgen took a deep breath, turned his head, and raised the letter in his hand to the detectives behind him. With red eyes, he shouted loudly: "We have new clues, and we will restart the 1988 case immediately. This time, we must Catch the murderer! To comfort the souls of the eleven victims!”
I dare not speak loudly, but I would like to ask readers, do you have a monthly ticket?
Kneel down and thank you, the kind of person who bows to the ground!
