Chapter 240 Not the same murderer!
Chapter 240 Not the same murderer!
After leaving Jia Dongming's office, Zhang Huanchun quickly walked back to his own office, immediately pressed the phone on his desk, shook it vigorously a few times, then picked up the receiver and said seriously, "Is this the switchboard? Please transfer me to Wu Guangrong's office in the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Chaoyang Public Security Bureau."
"Hello! I'm Wu Guangrong. Who is this?" Zhang Huanchun didn't have to wait long before the call was connected. Wu Guangrong's polite voice came immediately from the phone.
Zhang Huanchun heard Wu Guangrong's question and immediately said to him, "Old Wu! I have already told Comrade Dongming about the situation you just reported. Dongming asked you to check if there are any other scrap buyers in the area besides that scrap buyer. Comrade Dongming is very sure that the wheel marks left at the scene are the marks left by the tires of the cart used to load the scrap."
Wu Guangrong, who was on the other end of the phone, frowned when he heard Zhang Huanchun's affirmative conclusion. He asked Zhang Huanchun in a questioning tone: "Old Zhang! Is Jia Dongming really as amazing as you say? Based on just a few traces left at the crime scene, he dared to determine that the murderer was the scrap collector?"
When Zhang Huanchun heard Wu Guangrong's doubts, he thought of the two cases that Jia Dongming had solved in a row, and said to Wu Guangrong in a serious tone, "Old Wu! I'm not trying to flatter Jia Dongming, but his ability in traceology and tracking is second to none in our Dongcheng Branch. No one dares to claim to be first."
"Not long ago, a theft occurred at a steel mill. Jia Dongming determined the thief's height and physical disability based on the footprints he left at the scene. He then tracked the thief all the way from the steel mill to his home and caught him red-handed."
"A few days ago, a female worker was raped and murdered in a textile factory. The Second Brigade investigated for a long time but did not find any useful evidence. Xie Jian could only ask Jia Dongming for help. Jia Dongming traced the case all the way to the textile factory based on the traces left at the scene and found the security guard who had an affair with the deceased. What was originally considered a rape and murder case eventually became a murder and frame-up case."
Wu Guangrong learned about Jia Dongming's glorious deeds, and combined with the fact that Jia Dongming successfully helped them find the crime scene, Wu Guangrong finally believed Zhang Huanchun a little, and replied seriously: "Okay! Then I will go ask those scrap collectors to see if there are other scrap collectors in the area of the crime scene."
Zhang Huanchun was relieved after hearing Wu Guangrong's answer, and he reminded Wu Guangrong: "Old Wu! I'm waiting for your news in the office. If you have any new discoveries, remember to call me."
After Wu Guangrong hung up the phone with Zhang Huanchun, he immediately went to the office of the Criminal Investigation Team 3 and shouted to the team leader: "Zhou Xianlong! Did you release the scrap collector?"
When Zhou Xianlong heard Wu Guangrong asking about the scrap collector, he immediately reported respectfully, "Captain! Not yet? I plan to wait for the teammates who went to verify the news to come back, and after completely eliminating the suspicion of this scrap collector, I will release him."
After hearing Zhou Xianlong’s report, Wu Guangrong immediately walked towards the interrogation room.
"Hello, Captain!" Wu Guangrong soon arrived at the door of an interrogation room. The police officer in charge of guarding the door saw Wu Guangrong coming and immediately greeted him respectfully.
When Wu Guangrong heard his subordinates' greetings, he said seriously, "Xiao Zhang! Open the door. I want to find this scrap collector to learn some information."
The door of the interrogation room was soon opened. Wu Guangrong walked into the interrogation room and saw the scrap collector sitting in the interrogation room. He asked him seriously, "Su Qiang! In the area you are responsible for, are there other scrap collectors besides you?"
Su Qiang was in a state of anxiety. When he heard Wu Guangrong's question, he was visibly stunned. He quickly answered, "Comrade Public Security! I was not originally responsible for the waste collection mission in the Jintong Road area. I only took over the waste collection mission in this area a week ago."
Wu Guangrong was visibly stunned when he heard what Su Qiang had said. He quickly asked him, "Su Qiang! Who was originally in charge? When we went to your scrap collection station to look for you, was the person originally in charge there?"
When Su Qiang heard Wu Guangrong's question, he quickly replied, "Comrade from the Public Security Bureau! It turns out that the man's name is Ye Guangxi. Ye Guangxi was there when I was knocked down by that woman that day. When your comrades came to the scrap collection station to find me, Ye Guangxi was out buying scrap and had not returned yet." When Wu Guangrong heard Su Qiang's answer, he immediately asked Su Qiang, "Su Qiang! How old is Ye Guangxi this year? Which area is he in charge of now? Where does he live? How many people are there in his family?"
When Su Qiang heard Wu Guangrong's question, he quickly introduced him to Wu Guangrong: "Comrade Public Security! I remember that Ye Guangxi seems to be 43 years old this year. He was in charge of our area before. Not long ago, we changed the area, and he was transferred from here to the Dongzhimen area. As for where he lives, I am not very clear. As for how many people are in his family, I heard that his wife ran away with someone after being beaten by him, and now he is alone."
When Wu Guangrong heard what Su Qiang said, he immediately realized that Ye Guangxi, as Su Qiang had mentioned, fit the characteristics of the murderer very well. He immediately turned around and walked out of the interrogation room, quickly walked to the office of the Third Brigade, and shouted to Zhou Xianlong: "Zhou Xianlong! Take your men to the scrap collection station immediately and find a scrap collector named Ye Guangxi. This guy is likely the real murderer."
When Zhou Xianlong heard Wu Guangrong's instructions, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face, but he quickly reacted, saluted Wu Guangrong, then shouted to several subordinates and left the office with them.
Soon, two broken tricycles drove out of the Chaoyang Branch compound and rode towards the scrap collection station.
At 5:30 in the evening, when Jia Dongming had finished reading most of the files, he finally had a clear understanding of this serial murder case.
Through the records in these files, Jia Dongming discovered that the cause of death of these victims was all neck cuts, while in the case of Chaoyang Branch, the deceased died of suffocation during sexual assault. Based on this alone, Jia Dongming vaguely felt that the murderer of the Chaoyang Branch case and the serial killer he was handling were not the same person.
In addition to the neck being cut open, the victim's upper body was covered with numerous knife wounds. This shows that the murderer's motive for committing the crime was perverted sexual desire, or in the words of later generations, antisocial personality disorder. If this perverted murderer is not brought to justice as soon as possible, he will definitely commit crimes again.
At this time, Jia Dongming hurriedly took out a notebook from the drawer and began to record the specific time when the murderer committed the crime and the location of the crime, trying to find some valuable clues from this information.
"Comrade Dongming! Have you made any progress here?" Just as Jia Dongming was recording the time and location of the crime, Zhang Huanchun knocked on the door and walked into Jia Dongming's office, asking him expectantly.
When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Huanchun's question, he instinctively looked up and saw Zhang Huanchun walking into the office from outside. He said to him, "Captain Zhang! I don't have any clues yet, but I can be sure that the murderer from the Chaoyang Branch is not the murderer of the serial murder case."
"What! The murderer in the case of Chaoyang Branch is not the murderer of the serial murder case. On what basis do you make such a judgment?" When Zhang Huanchun heard the judgment made by Jia Dongming, an incredible expression appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked Jia Dongming.
Jia Dongming heard Zhang Huanchun's question and saw Zhang Huanchun's incredible expression. He pushed the file in front of Zhang Huanchun and introduced it in a very serious tone: "Captain Zhang! These victims have one thing in common. They were all killed by the murderer's cut neck and had multiple knife wounds on their bodies. The victim from Chaoyang Branch died of suffocation."
Zhang Huanchun read these files no less than ten times. He knew the cause of death very clearly. Facing Jia Dongming's answer, Zhang Huanchun showed a disappointed expression on his face and replied helplessly: "Comrade Dongming! It seems that I thought too well of the matter."
