"Chai Qihong's case is closed. When are you going to investigate the other two murder cases?"
When the value was distributed, Liang Song asked casually.
"Do you really think I'm a divine catcher?"
Zhao Lin laughed and said: "At least there is a suspect in Chai Qihong's case, but the murderers in the other two cases left nothing behind but corpses."
Liang Song thought about it and said, "What if Sun Zhang blames you for this? We solved this case and this guy is not happy at all."
"Whatever!" Zhao Lin snorted coldly.
From the perspective of his original intention and view of good and evil, he certainly hopes to catch the murderer, and he is self-aware of his abilities.
To solve Chai Qihong's case, he relied on his extraordinary hearing, which to put it bluntly was cheating.
And the other two cases. It has been several months since the incident occurred, and trying to solve the case is, to say the least, difficult!
…
The next morning, there was a "regular meeting" with the police after midnight.
Chief Catcher Li Qiuyuan praised Zhao Lin by name, praising him for being young, promising, and capable in doing things. He also joked: "Captain Zhao solved a murder case just after he took office. You must work harder, otherwise the limelight will be stolen by the newcomers." .”
Most of the agents had disapproving expressions on their faces.
Some people whispered: "It's just good luck. I really think he has nothing to do with it." "It's just that a blind cat meets a dead mouse..."
Zhao Lin didn't pay much attention to what he heard. He was just a temporary catcher and had no interest in these intrigues. No matter how good he was, he was only a county captain at the end.
His goal is to improve his strength as soon as possible and kill all the beards so that he can be reunited with his family.
If possible, pursue the ultimate in martial arts and live a different life.
"Sorry, there was another rape and murder case in Dongcheng last night..."
A policeman rushed in.
"Where is Dongcheng?" Sun Zhang immediately interrupted him.
"Near the dock, Huangjia Lane!" the patrolman replied.
Everyone looked at Zhao Lin in unison, and most people had a look of gloating in their eyes.
Zhao Lin's heart sank. He had just finished one case, why did he come up with another one?
Sun Zhang turned around and said in a long voice: "Captain Zhao, Huangjiaxiang is under your jurisdiction, right?"
Zhao Lin stepped out and said, "Exactly."
Sun Zhang raised his lips, "If I remember correctly, this is the fifth serial rape and murder case this year. This is no longer an ordinary murder case. If the real culprit is not found, I'm afraid the state government will also send a letter to intervene. "
"What do you think we should do?"
Everyone present knew that the previous four rapes and murders had occurred during Sun Zhang's tenure, but now he was questioning Zhao Lin in turn, showing his shamelessness.
Liang Song couldn't help it any longer and shouted angrily: "You're such a bully..."
"Captain Liang!"
Zhao Lin grabbed Liang Song and stopped him from talking.
The jurisdiction has been taken over and the files have been handed over. To say this is useless will only make people look down upon.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I will investigate immediately and bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."
"good!"
Sun Zhang touched his palm and said: "I'll give you seven days... no, five days. If the murderer is not caught, you don't have to be the head catcher!"
Zhao Lin pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Qiuyuan's eyes turned between the two of them a few times, and he said slowly: "Captain Zhao, you go to investigate the case first. If you need manpower, report to me anytime."
Of course he knew what Sun Zhang was playing, but several of his captains came from famous martial arts schools and aristocratic families in the county, and they all had powerful support behind them.
Even if Li Qiuyuan is the chief arrester, he cannot easily touch them.
Although the Liuhe Sect is very powerful, Zhao Lin is just a young man who has just started practicing bone training. If he must find someone to take the blame, it is definitely more suitable than Sun Zhang, who has been around for many years.
"Yes, the chief catcher!"
Zhao Lin cupped his hands and took Liang Song, He Qingquan and Tao Erleng away with the patrolman.
"It's just too much!"
After leaving the county government, Liang Song was still angry.
Zhao Lin winked at He Qingquan and asked him to help with some persuasion while he recalled the files on the serial rape and murder case.
Since March this year, a woman has been raped and murdered every other month in the Dongcheng Pier area, and by June four cases occurred in succession.
The murderer committed his crimes at night, and he specifically targeted young, single women. He used cruel methods to humiliate the victim and then strangled the victim's throat to death.
The murderer seemed to have some kind of perverted hobby. Every time he would take away the clothes of the deceased, he would put the clothes back on the deceased intact.
Because the crime was committed in the same manner, everyone in the yamen unanimously concluded that it was committed by the same person, so it was classified as a murder case.
According to the medical officer's assessment, the victim woman had varying degrees of bruises and fractures on her body.
This shows that the murderer has a violent temper and has great strength in his hands. He must have practiced martial arts.
This case caused quite a stir in the Dongcheng area. As soon as it got dark, no woman dared to go out.
The county imposed a curfew for a month and stepped up patrols, but the murderer was never found.
It's September now. The murderer has been dormant for three months and can't help but commit another crime!
Zhao Lin secretly felt that the matter was difficult. In this era, there was no surveillance, no fingerprint comparison and other means. It would be too difficult to solve this kind of case.
The group of people arrived at Huangjia Lane. A fence had been erected at the scene, police officers were guarding the scene, and many people were standing around to watch.
"Oh, it only lasted two months..."
"It's so tragic that such a beautiful daughter of the Huang family has just disappeared."
"It's all because of the incompetence of the government, which makes it hard for our people to live a peaceful life..."
Zhao Lin separated from the crowd and saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman lying on the ground. She had a pretty face, her eyes were closed, and there was no color on her face. She had obviously been dead for a long time.
"My poor daughter..."
An elderly couple cried in grief beside the body.
"Captain Zhao."
A patrolman in his thirties saw Zhao Lin and came over and said, "I'm Wang Kui, I was on patrol duty last night."
Zhao Lin glanced at the middle-aged couple, pulled Wang Kui aside, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, have you asked?"
Wang Kui nodded and said, "The deceased's name is Huang Xiangqin, and these two people are her parents."
"At five o'clock this morning, Mrs. Huang heard something moving in the outer room, so she asked: What are you doing?"
"Huang Xiangqin said she had a stomachache and wanted to go out to relieve herself. Huang thought it was almost dawn, and she was too sleepy, so she didn't say anything."
"However, Mrs. Huang was worried about her daughter and couldn't sleep well. After waiting for a while, she didn't see her daughter come back, so she got up and went out to look for her, only to see her dead at the entrance of the alley."
Zhao Lin thought for a while and asked, "Why doesn't Huang Xiangqin relieve herself at home and insists on going outside?"
Feces was a treasure in this era. Almost every house in the countryside had a place to store feces, and people in the city also had toilets. There were people who specialized in collecting feces in the morning, and a profession called "feces collector" was born.
Wang Kui did not expect Zhao Lin to be so attentive and explained: "The Huang couple said that the toilet at home was broken, and they had to go to the public toilet to relieve themselves in the past two days."
He pointed to a short distance away, "The latrine is over there, shared by several streets and alleys."
Zhao Lin said "thank you" and squatted down next to the body.
Wu Zuo has arrived and is examining the deceased's injuries.
Zhao Lin did not disturb him and waited for a while. When Wu Zuo put away his tools, took out a pen and paper and started recording, he asked: "How is it?"
Wuzuo sighed and said: "Same as the previous four times, he died by severing his throat."
As he spoke, he picked up a wooden awl and gently opened the collar of the deceased, revealing a collarbone marked with scratches. "The clothes are also gone."
