Chapter 237 Serial Killings!

Chapter 237 Serial Killings!
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Jia Dongming, leading several middle-level cadres from the Security Department, received Chen Wei Zhong, who came to investigate, in front of the Security Department building. They also invited Chen Wei Zhong to stay in the Security Department's small canteen for a meal, and then sent away the leaders of the steel rolling mill who had eaten and drunk their fill.

After Jia Dongming saw Chen Wei Zhong and others off, he remembered the appointment he had made with Zhang Huanchun, so he rode his bicycle towards the police station.

Ten minutes later, Jia Dongming rode his bicycle to the Dongcheng Branch. He walked to the door of Zhang Huanchun's office with ease and saw Zhang Huanchun sitting at his desk with a frown, reading a file. He reached out and knocked on the door, then smiled and said to Zhang Huanchun, "Captain Zhang! What are you busy with?"

Zhang Huanchun, who was sitting at his desk, reading the files, subconsciously raised his head when he heard Jia Dongming's question. He smiled and greeted Jia Dongming, "Comrade Dongming! You're here. Please come this way."

After Jia Dongming sat down opposite Zhang Huanchun, he saw the file in Zhang Huanchun's hand and saw that the other party was frowning. He asked Zhang Huanchun curiously: "Captain Zhang! What's wrong with you? Did you encounter a difficult case?"

When Zhang Huanchun heard Jia Dongming's question, he suddenly remembered Jia Dongming's ability to solve cases. He quickly pushed the file in front of Jia Dongming and introduced: "Comrade Dongming! This is the file of a young woman who was killed in Chaoyang District the night before yesterday!"

After hearing what Zhang Huanchun said, Jia Dongming showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked Zhang Huanchun curiously, "Captain Zhang! How come the case file of Chaoyang District is here with you?"

When Zhang Huanchun heard Jia Dongming's question, he thought of the serial murder case that their branch had not yet solved, and introduced it to Jia Dongming with a serious face: "Comrade Dongming! Do you remember the old case files I arranged for someone to send to you a few days ago? In fact, those files are not all the old case files of our branch, because I have one on hand, and that is the file of a serial murder case."

"From March of the previous year to now, there have been three or four cases of young women being killed in our Dongcheng District every year. Most of these victims had been sexually assaulted before their deaths, and were finally killed in extremely cruel ways by the murderer. The murderer's methods of committing crimes are extremely covert, causing huge social panic."

"Because this case is the first case I took over after becoming the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, so when I arranged for someone to transfer the old case to you, I kept the case file for this case."

"This morning at around 7 o'clock, the Chaoyang Branch received a call from a sanitation worker about another murder of a young woman on Guanghua Road in Chaoyang District. The victim had been sexually assaulted before and was brutally murdered by the murderer."

"The process of this case in Chaoyang District is very similar to the serial murder case in Dongcheng District. The General Administration requires us to set up a special task force to handle the case of Chaoyang Branch together with the serial murder case of our branch."

When Jia Dongming heard what Zhang Huanchun said, he immediately opened the file in his hand and read it carefully.

The deceased, You Liyun, was 103 years old, married, worked in the Chaoyang District Song and Dance Troupe, and lived in the east wing of the front yard at No. Guanghuali, Guanghua Road, Chaoyang District. Her husband, Zhang Xing, was an employee of the Materials Bureau. They had a two-year-old son.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, a sanitation worker found the deceased lying in the garbage dump while cleaning it and called the police immediately.

After receiving the alarm, the Chaoyang Branch rushed to the scene and conducted an on-site investigation, discovering that the deceased had been sexually assaulted and abused before his death.

After Jia Dongming carefully read the file sent by the Chaoyang Branch, he placed it on his desk and said to Zhang Huanchun in a serious tone, "Captain Zhang! According to the contents of this file, if my judgment is correct, the garbage dump is not the first crime scene."

"Before her death, the murderer must have taken the victim to a remote place, sexually assaulted her, and then brutally killed her. She was eventually dumped in a garbage dump. This shows that the murderer is a sexual deviant." Zhang Huanchun stood up from his desk after hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, turned around and took out a large stack of case files from the cabinet. He introduced them to Jia Dongming, "Comrade Dongming! These are the case files of eleven serial murders that have occurred in Dongcheng District over the past three years."

After hearing what Zhang Huanchun said and seeing the large stack of files Zhang Huanchun took out from the cabinet, Jia Dongming said to Zhang Huanchun in a serious tone, "Captain Zhang! I won't look at these files for now. I want to go to the scene where the body was dumped to see if I can find any valuable clues."

When Zhang Huanchun heard Jia Dongming's request, he suddenly remembered the two cases Jia Dongming had solved before. Both were solved based on the traces left by the murderer at the crime scene. This made him feel enlightened and he quickly replied, "Okay! Comrade Dongming! I will personally accompany you to the scene where the body was dumped."

Not long after, Jia Dongming and Zhang Huanchun left the Dongcheng Branch compound on their bicycles and rode towards Chaoyang District.

Twenty minutes later, the two men rode their bicycles to the body dumping site recorded in the file. Although there was no one at the scene at this time, a cordon was still set up.

Jia Dongming walked to the garbage dump, looked at the forensic traces left on the ground, and took a look at the surrounding environment. He introduced to Zhang Huanchun: "Captain Zhang! There are houses all around this garbage dump. It is obviously impossible for the murderer to commit sexual assault and murder here, so this is definitely not the first scene. But I am sure that the first scene should not be far from this garbage dump."

Zhang Huanchun nodded in agreement after hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, and reminded Jia Dongming: "Comrade Dongming! I admit that your analysis is not unreasonable, but there are houses all around here, and it is obviously not easy for us to find the first crime scene."

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Huanchun's reminder, a wise look flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said to Zhang Huanchun, "Captain Zhang! We just need to follow the route the deceased took home every day to investigate. It's not difficult to find the first scene."

Zhang Huanchun's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard Jia Dongming's reminder. He quickly said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Why are you still standing there? Let's go to the Chaoyang Branch first and check which route the deceased took to go to and from get off work every day. Then, based on the route the deceased took and the distance from the garbage dump, we can eliminate all possible culprits. I think we will be able to find the first crime scene soon."

As they talked, the two of them rode to the Chaoyang Branch. When the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Chaoyang Branch saw Zhang Huanchun and Jia Dongming, he asked Zhang Huanchun in surprise, "Old Zhang! Why are you here?"

When Zhang Huanchun heard the other party's question, he immediately introduced him: "Old Wu! Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Jia Dongming, the deputy commander of our detachment."

Zhang Huanchun introduced Jia Dongming at this point, “Dongming! This is Comrade Wu Guangrong, the captain of the Chaoyang Criminal Investigation Team!”

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Huanchun's introduction, he immediately extended his hand to greet Wu Guangrong, "Captain Wu! Hello!"

When Wu Guangrong heard Zhang Huanchun's introduction and learned that the young man in front of him was Jia Dongming, who solved the disappearance of the female accountant at the thermos factory, he was surprised and shook hands with Jia Dongming and said, "Comrade Jia Dongming! Hello, I'm glad to meet you."

After seeing the two of them greet each other, Zhang Huanchun immediately got straight to the point and introduced Wu Guangrong, "Old Wu! We came here this time because of the sexual assault and murder case that happened in your area this morning."
