Chapter 298 Fifteen years of dust
“Fifteen years ago, that is, in 1994, a serial rape and murder case occurred. In addition to our county, the area where the crime occurred was Pingyang County, a total of five Four female victims were killed, and one is still alive, but this victim has some mental problems...< br>
Two days ago, a suspect named Zhang Xiaolong was arrested for organizing a prostitution racket. From his confession, we found important clues to this case..."
Zhang Xiaolong's The confession was placed on top of the documents. Luo Rui glanced at the master. Zheng Rong's eyes were burning and he hesitated to speak.
Obviously, he cares about this case.
So Luo Rui asked: "Master, do you know about this case?"
Zheng Rong was waiting for this sentence. He nodded hurriedly: "I still remember the name of this girl. Her name is Huang Yan. She was a worker in a textile factory, 22 years old, and unmarried. She was killed in the early morning of January 22, 1995, in the shed below the factory dormitory. At that time, I still The police from the Jianqiao Police Station reported that the person who reported the case was a roommate in Huang Yan's dormitory, and the person who discovered the body was the security guard in the factory.
When we arrived, we found that Huang Yan was completely naked, with her hands and feet beaten. She was tied with a rope and had corn cobs stuffed in her mouth. She had been violated before her death, and corn cobs were inserted into her lower body. Not to mention, her vicious parts were also cut off with a sharp knife.
This case was extremely cruel, the impact was very bad at the time, and the police force in the department was limited, so we cooperated with the county criminal police brigade to investigate. At first, it was determined to be a murder of love or a vendetta. However, we searched Huang Yan's interpersonal relationships and found no clues. .
A year later, because the murderer could not be found, the case was archived. "
Speaking of this, Zheng Rong sighed. "The conditions at that time were limited, unlike now where there are cameras, and DNA testing had to be done in the province, so it was difficult to identify suspects. "
Luo Rui pondered: "Then have you extracted any physical evidence? Such as rice green liquid, footprints and hair? "
Zheng Rong shook his head: "The murderer only left footprints, a size 41 foot print of cotton-soled shoes. As for rice green liquid and hair, there was no trace. ”
Jiang Gang sat aside, touching his chin with his hand, and analyzed: "I have read the file of this case. Because it happened on January 22, 1995, the four subsequent cases are collectively called [122 Extraordinary Serial Murder Case]" 】.
Except this yellow Outside Yan, one year later, late at night on January 22, 1996, a saleswoman in a department store was also murdered by a murderer on her way home from a late-night snack.
She. Her name was Yu Jiali, and she was killed in a remote alley. , she was dragged into an abandoned house, and the murderer violated her. At that time, her hands and feet were tied, and corn cobs were stuffed in her mouth, as well as her lower body. The difference was that her legs were not cut off. .
The cause of death of the two victims. , they were all stabbed into the throat with one knife..."
Jiang Gang put his index and middle fingers together and pressed the artery on the left side of his neck: "At this position, with one stab, blood will come out immediately, and blood will come out immediately. All the victims died miserably..."
"Wait..." Luo Rui stopped him from continuing, and then asked: "In other words, this is a perverted serial murder case? And the time and method of committing the crime are regular?"
Jiang Gang and Zheng Rong looked at each other, one shook his head and the other nodded.
Jiang Gang said: "It's hard to say this, because the last two victims were killed at different times..."
Zheng Rong immediately retorted: "Why are they different? The third and The fourth person was killed in the winter of 1997 and 1998, although not in January. The day is the 22nd, but the season is the same, and the fifth victim was attacked at the same time as the first two victims, January 22nd, 2000.
This is very telling! The problem is, this murderer has a certain pattern of committing crimes!”
"January 22nd?" Luo Rui frowned and asked, "Is there anything special about this time?"
Chu Yang immediately turned on the computer and searched the Internet: "It's nothing special, and it's not a big day. "
Lin Chen put his elbow on the table and supported his cheek with his palm, and analyzed: "It is definitely not a special day for us. , but it may have a different meaning to the murderer..."
Her big eyes turned around, and her brain was running rapidly...
Jiang Gang saw her frowning. , with bulging lips, a round chin, and a small dimple on his face. He blinked and pushed Luo Rui's shoulder: "Is this from the provincial department?"
Luo Rui squinted: "What? You like it?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Gang coughed twice, his face turned red, he lowered his head and rubbed his knees with the palms of his hands. .
He was sitting next to Luo Rui's desk, and Lin Chen's desk was right next to it.
Jiang Gang has only been working for a few years, and his arrogance has not yet been worn away.
Luo Rui took a closer look and saw that Jiang Gang was tall and tall, at least 1.75 meters, with a nose and eyes. Apart from his dark skin color and shortsightedness, he had no other shortcomings.
"If you are interested in him, can I help you talk about it? Anyway, you two are about the same age and both are top students, so we should be able to chat." Luo Rui joked.
Jiang Gang shrank, like an old virgin, restless.
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"I thought of it!" Lin Chen exclaimed and slammed the table: "January 22nd is most likely the murderer's birthday! ”
"Oh?" Zheng Rong on the side asked immediately: "How did you come up with this?"
Zheng Rong was very concerned about this case, and he was frowning and thinking.
Lin Chen stood up, walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and wrote something on it.
She is wearing a uniform, with her hair in a ponytail, and her figure looks very three-dimensional.
Jiang Gang stared at her back, blushing more and more as he watched, and his heart felt hot, like a bunch of ants crawling on a piece of honey.
At this time, the members of the criminal team all looked at the whiteboard.
Not long after, Lin Chen turned around and pointed at the content on the whiteboard with a marker.
“First of all, the time of the crime was January 22nd. I guess it is the birthday of the murderer. It is also based on criminal psychology and may not be reliable.
However, if these victims are regarded as gift, then it is possible that the murderer committed the crime on his birthday. This is just a rough suspicion.
But based on this case, I thought of the following points, and I think the outline of the murderer can be roughly sketched. >
First, the murderer is most likely unmarried and has a strong perverted hobby for women.
Second, the murderer has sexual dysfunction, which is why he did not leave any... rice green liquid when he violated the victim.
Thirdly, the murderer is most likely a rural person. Every time he commits a crime, he always carries corn cobs with him. This kind of thing is not often encountered in the urban areas. Even if it is corn bought from the vegetable market, it is right. Corncobs don’t mind too much either.
Only people living in rural areas harvest corn every year, take off the corn kernels, and pile up corn cobs everywhere.
This kind of thing is usually used by rural people as firewood for cooking.
As an important prop in this serial murder case, corncobs are highly symbolic..."
"Symbolic? Tian Guanghan touched the stubble on his chin, his eyes clear: "What does it symbolize?" "
Lin Chen blushed, suspecting that he was teasing her, but the other person's expression looked stupid.
Luo Rui immediately coughed: "This... symbolizes something, let's first Don’t talk, Lin Chen, you continue to talk..."
"Okay! "Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Luo Rui gratefully, and said, "The third point I speculated also just confirmed the first point. To sum up, it means that the murderer was unmarried and young. He should have reached the age of 18. In his 30s, he had sexual dysfunction, and he had an inexplicable fanaticism and admiration for corncobs! ”
After hearing her analysis, Jiang Gang couldn't help but applaud.
But no one responded. He smiled awkwardly and immediately retracted his hand.
Lin Chen licked his lips and looked at Luo Rui expectantly.
Not long ago, there was a huge murder case in Linjiang City. Because the murderer had become concrete, her ability to handle the case was not reflected. Now this old case, and it is also a perverted murder case, she can just use her skills. learned knowledge.
The reason why she came to a remote place like Shahe County was to follow Luo Rui, contact these murderers on the front line, and use the knowledge she learned to try to solve the case.
Of course, she is not sure that she can succeed, but with the experience she accumulates in the future, she can reverse what she has learned, verify and correct each other, and find her own ability to solve cases.
Seeing her expectant expression, Luo Rui raised a smile on his lips, then stretched out his hand and clapped gently.
Seeing him like this, others began to applaud.
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff shoulders relaxed.
Not everyone can join the criminal team. She has only been here for a few days, so she is naturally extremely happy to be recognized by everyone.
Jiang Gang praised enthusiastically: "Lin Chen, you are awesome. You are worthy of being a top student from the provincial department. Are you using criminal psychology profiling?"
Lin Chen nodded: "That's right. This is what I studied at the Public Security University.”
When they heard the name of the school, Chu Yang, Fang Yonghui and Su Mingyuan all looked envious.
The Public Security University is more than a little bit better than their Criminal Police Academy.
No wonder he can work in the provincial department as soon as he graduates. He is such a proud man.
Luo Rui was also a little envious. His biggest regret was that he spent too little time in school. Although he spent a lot of money to hire professors from various disciplines before the joint public security examination and gained a lot of knowledge, he still felt that he was lacking something.
While everyone was envious, only Zheng Rong looked serious.
"Well, Officer Lin..."
Lin Chen quickly waved his hand: "Uncle Zheng, you are the team leader's master, just call me Xiao Lin."
"Okay. , Xiaolin, how did you determine the age of the murderer? ”
"It's like this. The age when a man has a strong desire for women is in his teenage years. In fact, if it were not a serial murder case, I might push the age of the murderer forward. If the five cases were committed by the same person .
So fierce. The physical strength consumed by the hands is huge, and only adult men have this strength.
For example, in the first case mentioned by Uncle Zheng, Huang Yan was killed in the work shed below the dormitory, and the time was. In the early morning, it is impossible for Huang Yan to , went to the work shed alone, then she must have been coerced by the murderer.
What kind of man would a woman give in to? It must be a tall and strong adult man. She would let herself go if she felt dangerous and unable to resist. Atrocities committed by murderers."
Zheng Rong nodded. He only believed half of this speculation: "Then how did you determine that the murderer is not after 30 years old? As far as I know, the sexual dysfunction you just talked about is most likely to be caused by middle-aged men. Common.”
"Curious!"
"What? Curious?" Zheng Rong blinked.
Others were also confused.
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and sighed: "After killing the victims, the murderer did indescribable behavior to their bodies. Obviously, the murderer was very curious about the female body structure.
Such people are not too old, which is what I call extremely perverted. ”
After she finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The criminal team has never encountered a murderer who treated women so cruelly.
As a prosecutor, Jiang Gang rarely prosecuted similar murder cases.
There have been such serial murders in previous domestic cases, but most of them were irregular, had no distinguishing features, and would not be as publicized as they were abroad.
Perverted murderers, such as the overseas Zodiac, Bangzi’s Hwaseong Murder Case, etc.
Zheng Rong's last trace of doubt disappeared, and he couldn't help but nod: "Your analysis makes sense. If there had been a top student like you back then, we might have caught the murderer long ago. When the first case happened, we Just regard it as a vendetta or a love killing, At that time, we screened all the ex-convicts in the county, including the male workers at the textile factory where Huang Yan worked, but found nothing in the end."
Lin Chenxi. Pouting, she felt deeply about Zheng Rong's regret.
In the heart of every old detective, there is an old case that cannot be let go. Even if those thick files have fallen thickly with dust, some people will still remember them.
At this time, Luo Rui clapped his hands: "Okay, it's not up to us to decide whether this case can be investigated and whether it will be restarted. I have to go to Bureau Li and Bureau Lu to see if they can What did the leader say? Everyone is fine now. Hurry up and finish the work accumulated this week. If you arrest the person yourself, you will be responsible for fixing the evidence to prevent Jiang Crocodile from causing trouble to us. "
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly shrank and screamed in agony.
Although it is satisfying to arrest a suspect, it is very tedious to complete the evidence. Not only do you have to go out and visit, but you also have to write documents, carefully check the suspect's confession, and ensure the authenticity of the physical evidence. If there is a problem in any link, the prosecutor will call you back and ask you to re-investigate.
Sometimes, if you want to be able to pass the prosecution, can't you avoid causing more trouble?
But if someone really wants to deal with you directly, if something goes wrong in court, the other party will have to bear the responsibility with you.
Therefore, the policemen handling the case in the county bureau building did not like Jiang Gang very much.
During the one-week special operation, the criminal team arrested 108 suspects.
Of course, this was not arrested by them personally, but the result of joint actions with the cooperation of police officers from the police station in the jurisdiction.
Among them, 66 cases of theft were sent to the police stations under their jurisdiction for processing.
The other 42 cases include more serious criminal cases such as arson, rape, etc., which is what causes headaches.
The whole day, Luo Rui and the others were handling these cases. Among them, 21 cases and files in which the suspects had confessed were handed over to the people brought by Jiang Gang for the prosecutor to review. After there were no problems, Prepare to file a lawsuit in court.
In the remaining cases, some of the suspects confessed but the physical evidence was incomplete; or the suspects refused to plead guilty when the physical evidence was complete.
This requires Zheng Rong's interrogation team to pry open the mouths of these people.
Before Zheng Rong left, he pulled Luo Rui to a corner of the office.
"What's wrong? Master?"
"Luo Rui, in fact, in the [122 Major Case] fifteen years ago, a suspect was caught in 1997."
"Ah?" Luo Rui frowned and asked in surprise: "Did you catch the wrong one?"
"Listen to me, the third case happened on the mountain behind Pingyang County Middle School. It was Christmas Eve, the age of the girl who was killed Very young. At that time, the police of Pingyang County collected a footprint at the scene. It was also a size 41 footprint, but it was not a cotton-soled shoe. The owner of this footprint was the son of the county *X. "
Zheng Rong had a look on his face. He looked sad, as if he felt unwilling.
"What was the situation at the crime scene like?" Luo Rui was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he added: "Were there any corn cobs?"
Zheng Rong nodded: "Yes!"
"This man..."
"This man was later released..."
"Then did he plead guilty?"
Zheng Rong shook his head: "I will I don’t know, but I heard about the two cases in Shahe County from my old comrades in Pingyang County. The murders took place in 1995 and 1996. Starting from 1997, the murdered women were all in Pingyang County, so these five cases were attributed to the same murderer."
"You are suspecting 1997 and 1997. Was it a copycat crime in 1998? Is there someone else? ”
Zheng Rong shook his head: "Then I don't know. When the case occurred, the city set up a special task force. I was just a police officer at the time. I don't know how they investigated. Anyway, in the final result, the murderer was not found and the case was settled." Now, it has been in the dust for fifteen years
I tell you, if you really want to restart. If you find the real culprit in this case, then you are the one from Haidong Province..."
Zheng Rong raised his thumb: "You are even more powerful than that green ghost Chen Hao!"
Luo! Rui curled his lips, the master was still playing tricks on him, he just wanted to use his own hands to restart the investigation.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something: "When you mentioned Chen Hao, did he also participate in the investigation of this case?"
Zheng Rong nodded: "He was there. He was a police officer in the criminal police detachment at the time and didn't have any duties."
"I understand." Luo Rui responded.
......
The night has fallen, but the county bureau building is still brightly lit.
Luo Rui glanced at his exhausted subordinates. He clapped his hands and said encouragingly: "The time is now eight o'clock in the evening. We will get off work at ten o'clock. Everyone is going to have supper. I'll treat them."
Tian Guanghan curled his lips: "Team leader, you haven't even invited guests to your promotion banquet yet. A late-night snack doesn't count."
"Of course it doesn't count, but we can't be too high-profile. The county is so big. There's nothing good to eat in this place. When you have a holiday, you all can come to me. Let’s have a good meal at the villa on the beach.”
Luo Rui was fooling, he is not stupid, now the reputation of King Luo is widely spread in the world, if he doesn’t care about his image and eats and drinks outside, Being caught by some unscrupulous media is no longer a shame.
The further the times go, the more dangerous it becomes.
Lin Chen covered his mouth with his hands, yawned, and asked: "Team leader, have you contacted Bureau Lu about the [122 Extraordinary Serial Murder Case] fifteen years ago?"
"Why are you in a hurry? You haven't seen me busy all day today." Luo Rui snorted, "I'll go right away, okay?"
"Well, I'll wait for you. Good news." Lin Chen took out his cell phone and answered enthusiastically.
......
......
Luo Rui knocked on Lu Kangming's office. After there was an echo inside, he opened the door and stepped in.
Lu Kangming was sitting behind his desk, looking very energetic and seemed to be several years younger all of a sudden.
This special operation was a complete success, killing three birds with one stone and gaining a lot.
Once there was a political leader in the county, the leaders were satisfied.
Secondly, the public security environment has improved visibly, and the people applauded it.
Thirdly, everyone is rich and has sufficient funds.
However, Luo Rui's reputation seems to be a bit bad...
Lu Kangming smiled and said: "What's wrong? It's so late, why do you still have something to do with me?"
Luo Rui nodded, He handed the other party a copy of the confession in his hand.
After Lu Kangming took it, he looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more solemn his expression became.
Until the words [122 Massive Murder Case] appeared in his eyes, his breathing stopped.
"This...this is..."
"This is the clue that my master pried out from the mouth of a suspect named Zhang Xiaolong when he interrogated him."
"Oh my God!" Lu Kangming took out a breath and said with some disbelief: "Luo Rui, do you know? In the past fifteen years, when every director first took office, in addition to checking the county bureau's funds, Apart from the situation, the archives are where I spend the most time.
When I first came to Shahe County three years ago, it was no exception!
[122 Serial Murder Case] was no exception! The files are placed on the 15th shelf in area D3. There are five cartons in total. Every time I go there, I will look at these evidences for a long time.
I have been thinking that if this case is solved during my term of office, I will have no regrets in my life! "
Luo Rui frowned. He didn't understand why Lu Kangming was so moved.
Could it be that he was also the policeman who handled the case?
Luo Rui asked: "Then Should we reopen this case? "
Lu Kangming stood up, pondered for a long time, and replied: "The impact of this case is very bad. Although a task force was initially formed, the public opinion media reported very little, so the outside world is not very clear about it.
If we want to restart, we have to report it layer by layer. The team that may be responsible for this case may not be us. "
"What do you mean? "
"Let's investigate it ourselves first. If we can find out the exact clues, it won't be too late to report it! "
"But there are three other cases that occurred in Pingyang County, and there is a victim who is still alive in Pingyang County..."
Lu Kangming reached out and interrupted him: "You go first Go investigate, and I will discuss it with Lu Huzi from Pingyang County. [122] is also a thorn in their side. If we solve it together, he will agree even if they are asked to exchange three police cars and the only police dog. . ”
"Okay, then I will start the investigation tomorrow." Luo Rui nodded, knowing that Lu Kangming was definitely ready to beat Lu Huzi's autumn wind.
After Luo Rui left, just as he was about to go downstairs, his cell phone rang.
He answered the phone: "Hello, Chen Hao?"
"Luo Rui, watch the news, international news!"
Luo Rui blinked, confused. .
After returning to the office, he walked to the TV, found the remote control, turned on the TV, and tuned to international news.
A street in a community in Canada appeared on the screen.
A police cordon was drawn in front of the door of a villa, and several police cars were parked on the street.
Standing at the door was a foreigner wearing a police uniform. He faced reporters and spoke a string of English into the microphone.
The subtitles at the bottom of the screen translate English into Chinese.
[In the early hours of the morning, a man of nationality X was killed at home and stabbed five times. The assailant was also a man of nationality About 76 meters.
After receiving the alarm, our police station arrived at the scene as quickly as possible. During the process of arresting the gangster, due to the language barrier and the gangster's resistance to law enforcement, the gangster was shot dead by our police officers... 】
At this time, the gangster's body appeared on the screen, and he fell on his back on a certain street.
He was holding a dagger in his hand, and the clothes on his chest were pierced by bullets, and blood flowed all over the floor.
His glasses were broken, and the intact right eye was open, seeming to be looking at the white clouds in the sky.
The sun shone on him, and a bright smile filled his face...
Chen Bai's wish was fulfilled...
Luo Rui's heart tightened...
