Chapter 302 Race against time!
January 19, 2009, six o'clock in the morning.
Fukang County, Longshan Town.
Today is a market day. Although the weather is extremely low, there are many pedestrians on the road, including tricycles, motorcycles, and country people carrying backpacks, pushing and shoving past the door of the police station.
The detectives, who had been busy all night, sat at the breakfast stall nearby, gnawing fried dough sticks and drinking soy milk.
Li Nong ate the fried dough sticks in his hand in two bites, licked his index finger and took a sip of the soy milk.
He looked at Luo Rui, who was slowly drinking porridge: "I see why you are not in a hurry? You didn't say that, on January 22, the murderer will kill again?"
Luo Rui raised his head, He wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Director Li, don't think of me as a detective. I just said it's possible." Luo Rui picked up a bun with chopsticks and looked around. Policemen in uniforms were patrolling the street. The breakfast stalls were full.
Lin Chen held the soy milk in both hands and warmed her palms. She blinked and asked, "Team leader, do you mean that our police investigation will scare away this murderer?"
Before Luo Rui could answer, Fang Yonghui took over: "I think it's very possible. The murderer is not a fool. With such a big move like ours, he probably hid quickly after hearing the news."
Li Nong smacked his lips and sighed: "Hey, if this is the case, how many years and months will it take to catch this person?"
Luo Rui looked at him: "Where is Director Lu? All night I didn’t see him.”
“He took Director Lu back to the county. The Party Committee and the Provincial Department have sent people here, and they are ready to pick them up."
"Who is coming?"
Li Nong replied: "There are not many frontline criminal police here, mainly because of the investigation. Technical, and the other is the police from the propaganda department.”
As he spoke, he sighed again: "With such a big move, if the murderer cannot be caught and brought to power, we in Shahe County may lose all face."
"Oh, now he is the director. Do you care about face?" Luo Rui teased.
"Fuck you, of course you will seek your own government if you are in your position. Everyone is like this." Li Nong retorted, and then said in a flattering manner: "Luo Rui, for a great detective like you, you must If there is a way, our county bureau will count on whether the murderer can be caught. You."
"Don't..." Luo Rui stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Don't set up a ladder for me..."
Before Luo Rui finished speaking, he saw two cars. The car, honking its horn crazily, broke through the crowd at a turtle speed and drove to the roadside.
Yang Bo and Tian Guangming immediately opened the car door and ran over.
Besides him, there were Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan in the car behind.
The four people's eyes were red and dusty. Chu Yang opened his mouth. When he was about to speak, Luo Rui said quickly: "Don't be anxious. Take a bite first. I think you have stayed up all night."
< br>Afterwards, Lin Chen quickly called to the owner of the breakfast shop and set up a table next to him.
Luo Rui shouted loudly: "Steamed buns, porridge, fried dough sticks, whatever is available, please have a portion of them all. We will add more later if there is not enough."
The boss agreed cheerfully and quickly brought the hot buns over.
Tian Guanghan seemed to be so hungry that he didn’t even use chopsticks. He just picked up a big meat bun with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hiss...it's so hot, it's burning me to death!" He howled, but still chewed and swallowed.
The other three people were not much better and wolfed down their food.
Chu Yang was a little more polite and said while eating: "Team leader, Mingyuan and I..."
Luo Rui quickly waved his hand: "Chu Yang, let Yang Bo and the others talk first. It will be more intuitive for us to follow the order of the victims."
"Okay." Chu Yang continued to chew on the buns.
Yang Bo immediately put down his chopsticks, took a sip of soy milk, and patted his chest. At this moment, he had swallowed four large meat buns and his throat was choked.
Li Nong couldn't stand it anymore: "No... you are like starving ghosts. You didn't eat yesterday? Could it be that you found some important clues?"
Yang Bo patted him. Chest, swallowed a mouthful of soy milk, and said: "No, Director Li, there were too many people to visit, so the meal time was delayed. Lao Tian and I were knocking on other people's doors in the middle of the night, and we were scolded by them. All night.”
"I understand, I understand!" Li Nong pressed his hand. He had also been a criminal police officer. The police came to the door in the middle of the night, and it was an old case that had been investigated for more than ten years. No one had a good temper.
Yang Bo burped, pursed his lips, and said: "Bureau Li, Luo Da, Lao Tian and I first went to the textile factory where Huang Yan was killed. Although the textile factory is still there, she was killed at that time. Because the factory thought it was unlucky, it had been demolished a few years ago, and the site was long gone.
Then we visited Huang Yan’s roommates and family members, and their opinions were still the same as before.
Huang Yan had a boyfriend who worked for the Water Conservancy Bureau. On the night of January 22, 1995, Huang Yan went on a date with her boyfriend after get off work. The two of them went on a date at a guest house in the county town. After checking into the room, the two of them didn't leave until 1:30 in the morning.
The guest house was very close to the textile factory, so Huang Yan walked back to the dormitory in the factory.
At that time, the security guard opened the door for her, and the two of them had a few words. After that, Huang Yan did not return to the dormitory.
Her body was found in the work shed the next morning when workers went to work. ”
Li Nong recalled: “At that time, I remember that our police all thought it was a worker in the factory, so they sealed off the entire factory, thoroughly investigated the suspect, and also took away the pursuer Huang Yan. Several admirers, but nothing was found. Especially the security guard who quarreled with Huang Yan was also interrogated, but he was also ruled out as a suspect. "
At this time, Lin Chen looked at Yang Bo: "Have you ever compared Huang Yan's boyfriend's confession? "
Tian Guanghan said angrily: "He was the first person we looked for, but his alibi was the most complete. He left the guest house by taxi that night.
There is a certificate from the taxi driver in the file, and we also suspect that he made a false confession, but the security guard and roommate at Huang Yan's boyfriend's workplace can also prove that he could not have time to commit the crime.
Besides, this is a serial murder case. We have also checked the time when victim No. 2 Yu Jiali was killed. This person also has an alibi. "
Yang Bo nodded: "We went to find this person late last night. He is already forty, married, and his children are teenagers. He cried when he heard that we were planning to reopen the case. With a burst of runny nose and tears, he said that if Huang Yan had not died back then, the two of them would definitely be married and have children now.
He blamed himself for asking Huang Yan out. If he hadn't done this stupid thing back then, Huang Yan would not have died. "
Tian Guanghan smacked his lips at the side: "Hey, Yang Bo and I watched these two couples quarreling, and his wife even smashed all the things in the house, which made us both look like As if they were here to break up their family, we were kicked out directly. ”
Hearing this, Li Nong sighed with sadness: "I understand."
Luo Rui glanced at him and wondered, could it be that Li Nong's wife was looking for him with his ex-girlfriend's business card? Settled?
Luo Rui asked: "So, you still haven't found any new clues?"
Yang Bo nodded guiltily: "It's too difficult. In the past so many years, many relevant people have I don’t remember what happened back then.”
“It’s okay, if you really find clues, I’d be surprised.”
Lin Chen looked at Luo Rui: "Team leader, what do you think of this case?"
Luo Rui picked up the chopsticks and fiddled with the tissues on the table: "You should have seen the crime scene in 1995. , this is the first case committed by the murderer. Logically speaking, no matter who it is, the second case When someone commits a murder, he will be very nervous, nervous, panicked, or at a loss.
But this murderer is not like that. He is calm, courageous, and has a strong heart. He dared to commit murder in a textile factory, and When Huang Yan was attacked, she did not alert other people in the dormitory. Others..."
Li Nong nodded: "We have measured the distance between the security room and the female staff dormitory. The two sides are far apart, and the security guard should not be able to hear. However, the work shed below the dormitory faces the second floor. The toilet in the dormitory, the time of the crime was around two o'clock in the morning, this time Many people were asleep at that time, and if there was a slight movement, no one would hear anything unusual."
Luo Rui squinted and said thoughtfully: "So... I still prefer the judgment of the old investigator. , the murderer must know Huang Yan!”
"Ah?" Lin Chen exclaimed.
Li Nong also looked at Luo Rui with some suspicion: "However, after the incident, we checked all Huang Yan's interpersonal relationships, and the textile factory was also closed down at that time, and we did not find any The suspect is suspected of being the murderer!"
Luo Rui curled his lips and said: "There were 3,018 people in the textile factory back then, not to mention their relatives. They all might have met Huang Yan, and Huang Yan had never seen him before. She started working in the factory at the age of 17 until she was 2 He was killed at the age of 2. In the past five years, some workers have resigned and new workers have come in, including those around the factory. Have you checked them all?"
Li Nong exhaled: "You... "
"This is the first case committed by the murderer. My judgment is that he must know the victim, and he is also familiar with the situation in the textile factory. Although he has never worked in the factory, But I must have been to the factory many times
In addition, judging from the crime pattern in 1996 and even after that, the murderer’s crime pattern has not changed at all.
Lock the target, follow, and look for opportunities to commit murder..."
Hearing this, Chu Yang put down his chopsticks and nodded: "This is how Yu Jiali was killed. She was killed in 1996. At twelve o'clock in the evening on January 22, her family lived in the town. At that time, she and her colleagues had eaten midnight snacks and went home alone, and then they were targeted by the murderer.
The murderer hid her in an abandoned house..."
As he spoke, Chu Yang took out his computer bag and prepared to open it.
Lin Chen pursed his lips: "Chu Yang, the laptop is too big and inconvenient to carry. It is more convenient to buy a tablet computer and you can take it with you wherever you go."
Chu Yang smiled: " This computer is my own, and besides, I can’t afford a tablet with my salary.”
Li Nong coughed: "Well... although your position is not in our Shahe County, if this case is solved, our bureau will allocate one to you."
Chu Yang said He thanked her, then turned on the computer and pushed the screen in front of Luo Rui's eyes.
He pulled out a few photos and said: "The place where Yu Jiali was killed was next to a dry cleaning shop. There was an alley here. This alley was very desolate and filled with abandoned brick and tile houses. It was dark. It didn't matter, there were no street lights. When the murderer struck, he probably tried to subdue Yu Jiali immediately, but failed. Then, Yu Jiali ran forward and came to the end of the alley
The autopsy report stated that Yu Jiali had severe contusions on the back of her head. She was probably hit hard by the murderer on the way to escape and then dragged inside..."
Luo Rui looked at a very old house. In the photo, the walls looked low with black tiles and red bricks.
After that, several more photos came into view. .
This is the main room of a private house, with piles of waste and straw everywhere.
The victim, Yu Jiali, was lying on the cement floor, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and there were wounds on her neck. Like Huang Yan, she was pierced by a sharp blade, and blood flowed down her smooth shoulders and gathered under her body
Because it was winter, she was wearing a red down jacket, but her chest was open and there were corn cobs stuffed in her mouth. Her pants were down to her ankles, her thighs were covered in blood, and a corn cob was stuffed into her lower body.
The difference between her and Huang Yan is that her hands and feet were not tied. It may be that she was hit hard on the back of the head and unable to move, so the murderer could commit violence at will.
After the incident, the murderer still killed her, and also...
As a woman, Lin Chen couldn't bear it, she gritted her teeth: "What a beast, you are... It was my mother’s birth, how could I do it?”
Everyone has carefully looked at the photos from the scene, but every time they look at them, they can see the injuries suffered by the victims.
That kind of concrete cruelty makes everyone look at him with suspicion.
Chu Yang said: "We also visited all of Yu Jiali's relatives and friends yesterday, especially Yu Jiali's husband, who was also regarded as a key suspect at the time. His statement was consistent with the confession in 1996. There was no discrepancy, and Yu Jiali was only 25 years old when she was killed, and her daughter was only three years old. Four years later, the child was in her senior year of high school.
When we met, the child kept asking, has the murderer of her mother been found?
And the child plans to graduate next year. When applying for the police academy, they kept asking us how many points we need to pass..."
Chu Yang didn't say any more.
Everyone fell silent immediately.
Luo Rui can imagine that after so many years, the police have not caught the murderer, and the family of the victim feels very guilty.
Yesterday’s visit and investigation revealed that the embarrassment and difficulties faced by Chu Yang and the others must be huge.
Eat? But Fan couldn't bear it, and he couldn't eat, so the four of them were hungry all day and all night.
A group of middle-aged and elderly detectives in Shahe County who were about to retire had nothing to do all day long. They looked like they were lying on their backs because they had no food or salt. However, when they heard that the huge serial murder case of 1995 was going to be restarted, the crowd became furious. The reddened grief and anger in his eyes moved the young detectives.
Back then, the difficulties they encountered, as well as the abuse and accusations from the victims' families, were definitely more embarrassing than Chu Yang and the others.
At this time, Luo Rui broke the silence. He looked at Li Nong: "Can we get the files for the three cases in Pingyang County?"
Li Nong nodded: "At this time. Yes, Lu Peng certainly wouldn’t dare to refuse. The task force also had files before, but they were all in the city. If you want to see them, It would be best to go to Pingyang County. Besides, only one female victim survived this huge serial murder case. Although she was already crazy, her appearance may be a turning point for this case.
That year's project. Team, can't find the problem, what if you can do it..."
"Director Li, I just said, don't put me on the fire, I won't do this." Luo Rui said seriously.
Li Nong shrugged: "Okay, I'll call Director Lu. Yesterday you said that the murderer will commit another crime on January 22 this year. I guess there is also a lot of turmoil over there. File I guess it's already been prepared.
Besides..."
Luo Rui stared at him, raised his face, and motioned for him to continue.
Li Nong looked around and saw that in front of the breakfast stall, in addition to the police from Shahe County, there were Laobang Cai from Fukang County, so he lowered his voice and said, "Do you really think that the murderer knows Huang Yan?" ?”
Hearing this, Luo Rui nodded heavily: "Nine times out of ten!"
Li Nong patted the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go back to our county now, even if it's the textile factory. The relatives of the employees and the eighteen generations of their ancestors are also found!"
Luo Rui nodded: "Then you'd better bring them! My master and the veteran cadres must know the situation better than the new police officers."
Li Nong stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I know what happened."< br>
Li Nong is not ready to stay here anymore. After all, this is not his jurisdiction.
Luo Rui's speculations have never been wrong, and he unconditionally believes in such judgments.
……
……
Eight o’clock in the morning.
Two police cars from Shahe County drove directly into the gate of Pingyang County Bureau.
On the way here, Luo Rui saw that on the main roads in the county, the number of traffic police and patrol police increased, and the number of patrols was also very frequent. As long as you stood on the street and shouted loudly, the police could hear anything unusual.
Moreover, passing traffic vehicles are inspected more strictly than before.
Don't think about it, Lu Peng must have heard Luo Rui's warning and took precautions.
If the murderer hiding in the depths of darkness continues to commit crimes on the 22nd, no matter which jurisdiction the victim is from, then everyone will be unlucky.
No wonder Li Nong was so nervous and rushed back to the county without stopping.
Luo Rui has had many dealings with Laobangcai from Pingyang County, and neither side is convinced by the other. After all, the two directors are also at odds with each other, which shows the attitude of the people below towards Luo Rui and the others.
Luo Rui originally led people into the building with the mentality of being targeted.
However, the policemen and criminal policemen in the building had different looks.
Although I didn’t talk to him and had a sullen face, I nodded to him as a greeting. My attitude was much better than before. I wasn’t enthusiastic, but I didn’t pretend not to see him.
Lin Chen saw something fishy and whispered from the side: "What's going on? You don't say a word to us?"
Yang Bo coughed twice and replied: "You are new here and don't know the situation. There were several cases that Pingyang County fought with us to solve, but in the end they were all taken down by Luo Da. At first, they felt very unhappy. Convinced, but until their criminal police captain Yao Quan..."
Luo Rui glared at him: "Stop talking"
<. br>Fang Yonghui took over: "Anyway, they are not convinced by Luo Da, but at the same time they are very grateful to our Luo Da. You know this, that's right."
Lin Chen blinked and smiled: "Later, tell me in detail, I want to hear..."
Luo Rui rolled his eyes at her, and then led them upstairs.
In the criminal police brigade office on the second floor, a tall, middle-aged man wearing a jacket immediately came forward to greet them when he saw them.
"Are you the criminal police captain of Shahe County, Luo Rui?"
Luo Rui smiled: "I am, may I ask who you are..."
This person A little shorter than Luo Rui, he felt a little relieved when Luo Rui admitted his identity. He stepped on his feet, twisted his shoulders, then stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "I am Tang Kai, the criminal police captain of Pingyang County. I have just been here a few days."
"Hello, Tang Da." Luo Rui shook hands with him, and he could clearly feel that the other party had deliberately used force.
Luo Rui sighed slightly in his heart. One Yao Quan left, and another one came who was more cruel to him. They all thought highly of themselves and wanted to compare.
Luo Rui also tried hard, and the force was so strong that a blush appeared on Tang Kai's face.
"Ah, Captain Luo is really young and promising. I am already in my forties, and now I have become a captain. You are this year..."
"22 years old." Luo Rui replied, then held the other person's hand tightly like an iron hoop.
Tang Kai clearly felt pain. He bit his cheek and tried to retract his hand.
Luo Rui took advantage of the slope and retracted his hand, not wanting to embarrass him.
But the surrounding police officers have noticed that there are three red finger prints on the back of Tang Kai's hand, as if they were printed by red-hot Luotie.
Lin Chen didn't notice this, but she could clearly feel that the colleagues behind her had joking smiles in their eyes, especially Tian Guanghan, who was pinching his thighs as if to suppress laughter. .
Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo puffed up their chests unconsciously for a moment, just like the proud expressions they had when attending the commendation meeting.
Tang Kai put his hand behind his back, shook it slightly, and said: "Luo Da, Director Lu just informed us that the three files of 1997, 1998 and 1999 have been prepared for you. , you follow me.”
Luo Rui still had a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Thankfully, Tang Da is lucky."
Then, a group of people walked into the conference room in Pingyang County.
The fight continues, but no one dares to be careless or stumble regarding the current huge serial murder case.
The conference room was full of people, including Pingyang County’s deputy bureau chiefs, political commissar, investigating police officers, forensic doctors, and front-line police officers.
Luo Rui also saw several old men with gray hair and wrinkled faces, probably almost seventy years old, sitting in chairs against the wall.
They were wearing civilian clothes and had their arms folded. Unlike other police officers, the expressions on their faces were exactly the same as those of the old waiters in Shahe County. Their eyes were filled with irrepressible resentment, guilt, desire, and doubt.
These people all turned around and looked at Luo Rui curiously.
Luo Rui nodded to them slightly, and then exchanged a few words with the leaders in charge.
After they sat down, the logistics police closed all the curtains beside the windows, leaving no trace of Light shines through.
Then, the projector on the conference table lit up, and a milky white beam of light shone on the curtain in front.
Three photos of the murdered women appeared on the big screen. This was the third case committed by the murderer in 1997 and the first case in Pingyang County...
The three female victims, Only one woman survived by chance...
I am sick and have a severe headache. I typed this chapter while lying on the bed. There are typos. Please mark them and sleep for a while. If it still feels bad, I can only go Hospital.
