After having a last lunch at the Shen family, Liang Yuanque took Zhuang Youjie back to the police station again.
At this time, the fact that Liang Yuanque solved the murder case of Miss Lan had been deliberately arranged to reach the ears of Inspector Chang, but the murderer became Wang Shun.
This was a private agreement between Mr. Shen and Liang Yuanque, or it could be said that Liang Yuanque came up with an idea to the Shen family when they were in the inner room. After all, after taking other people's money, they had to solve the problem perfectly.
Shen Yuelan's death caused an uproar in Liucheng. There must be an explanation for this matter. Mr. Shen will not hand over Shen Yuexin, so there must be a scapegoat.
The Shen family followed Liang Yuanque's suggestion and sent Wang Shun to the police station. They threatened that if he confessed and went to jail, the Shen family would use methods to get him out after a while. But if he refused, he might go to the police station. After he dared to confess to Shen Yuexin, he was allowed to disappear quietly.
Anyway, he has no relatives in this world, and no one will find out if he dies.
Because the case was really solved, Detective Chang's attitude towards Liang Yuanque has softened a lot now. He began to believe that this young man in the world could help him solve the trouble in Liucheng, and he cooperated very well with Liang Yuanque's next actions. .
As for the yellow croaker that Liang Yuanque wanted, Master Zhuang had promised to reveal it anyway, so the police station followed suit and took advantage.
In Inspector Chang's office, Liang Yuanque once again took out all the files and looked through them carefully. Inspector Chang was kind enough to help him sort them out, and even asked someone to bring hot tea.
Liang Yuanque first opened the file of the first serial murder case, which was the case that occurred on the 16th day of the first lunar month.
The body of the deceased in this murder case was found in her home on the morning of the 16th of the first month of this year. Most of the deceased's throat was cut with a sharp weapon. But strangely, there was no blood on the ground where the body was found.
Most of the remaining nine dead were found on the street. Some were killed while alone at home and were discovered some time later.
After excluding Miss Lan's case, there are ten cases in total.
The deceased in these murder cases have no intersection with each other. The only thing they have in common is that they are all young girls around 20 years old. Their private lives are somewhat chaotic. Most of them are prostitutes, and two of them are kept by extramarital affairs.
The first deceased was the youngest, only seventeen years old. From interviews with people he knew, I learned that this little girl’s family used to be wealthy, but her father later became addicted to smoking and lost all his money. Not to mention his family fortune, he also owed a lot of debt. He was thrown out of the opium den the winter before last and froze to death on the roadside.
It would be a good thing if he died, but the family was too poor to take the blame. In order to support her mother and younger siblings, this girl decided to go into the flesh business.
"Since you have betrayed yourself, why not go to a brothel and become a prostitute without any protection?"
Liang Yuanque watched, and Zhuang Youjie's voice rang in his ears. Although he looked like he was looking at the file with concentration just now, he had already noticed that Zhuang Youjie had quietly walked over and was looking at the file curiously, but he just ignored it. Just him.
After hearing what he said, Liang Yuanque turned to look at him with a confused face, "Master, do you actually think that the brothel is safe?"
"Uh, ah? Isn't it?" Zhuang Youjie looked confused. It seemed that he was not the person who had walked past the door of "Yihongyuan".
"You are working as a brothel. Although the customer base there is stable, the money will basically be taken away by the madam. In comparison, it is better to earn more as a secret agent. You cannot attract customers all the time, but you can earn one order. One order."
After Liang Yuanque finished explaining, he suddenly felt that he was a fool for actually talking to an adult man about brothels and secret prostitution in a serious manner.
What's more, Zhuang Youjie had a learned expression on his face, but then he seemed to remember something and opened his mouth to question, but was blocked by Liang Yuanque.
"Don't ask me why I know, because I'm a detective!"
Liang Yuanque continued to look through the files, while Zhuang Youjie stood silently and read with him silently.
In the previous case of Miss Lan, Zhuang Youjie had done a lot, which gave him great confidence in himself and felt that he also had the potential to become a detective.
So this time, when Liang Yuanque was looking through the files for clues, Zhuang Youjie also came over curiously, thinking what if he could help?
The deceased in the first case secretly worked as a prostitute. Since she still had a mother and younger siblings at home, she usually did door-to-door business, which greatly limited the scope of her clients, but at any rate, she could earn enough money to make ends meet as a family. .
The night before her body was discovered, a neighbor saw her getting dressed and going out, and it seemed that she was going to knock on the door to leave a note.
Among the remaining deceased, two were also prostitutes, and they both died in their residences. However, compared to the first girl, they all lived alone, so they were not discovered until a long time after their death, making it difficult for the police detectives to determine their specific circumstances. The time of death, and the place where they lived was a mixed bag. If there were suspicious people, then all the people coming in and out of this area were suspicious people, which made the scope of the police investigation unlimited.
As for the two more prosperous outsiders, one was killed in his own residence in the middle of the night. He was discovered by a child who came to deliver milk the next day. Since the room was in a mess, the police initially thought that It was robbery and murder, but when I contacted someone close to me to count the belongings, I found that nothing was missing from the scene, so the case was merged with the previous murder of a prostitute for investigation.
The other died in a chaotic slum alley. When the police arrived, the blood stains in the alley had been trampled by the crowd of onlookers. No useful clues could be obtained from the scene. The deceased was the same as the previous deceased. , was first raped and then killed, and none of his belongings were lost.
The others were all prostitutes, and most of them died on the street. The victim in the tenth case that happened before Miss Lan's accident died directly on the bed in the brothel, and the strange thing is that she But there was no pick-up at night.
These poor women who died tragically were all from the bottom of society. At first, no one cared about their deaths. Only the one who died in the outer room at home was very favored by her master. Her master once came to the police station to make trouble, but it didn't matter. Then his wife twisted his ears and took him back, and he fell silent from then on.
If Miss Lan's death hadn't aroused public indignation and forced the authorities to take it seriously, they might not have been able to redress the injustice, and some poor women would have died.
Regarding the sharp throat-slitting weapon, the police initially suspected it was a scalpel, so they began to investigate hospitals and private clinics in Liucheng, and even veterinary stations. However, more than half a year later, the investigation was not even halfway done, and the funds for handling the case were It did cost a lot.
Several photos were taken of the corpses of the deceased, and Liang Yuanque looked at the shape of the fatal wounds in the photos and speculated on what kind of tool it was.
He had already seen these photos when he was investigating Miss Lan's case before, but the purpose at that time was to prove that the deceased were not killed with the same technique and weapon as Miss Lan, so the focus was on comparison.
At this moment, he was focusing on observing these wounds.
These fatal injuries should have been caused by the same tool, but they didn't look like the same person using the same technique. Liang Yuanque muttered at first, could there be other murderers in these connected cases?
