Chapter 2

Lin Jiafan and several members of the special case investigation team stopped when they were still some distance away from the gate. At this moment, the patrol special police detachment next door had received the order and rushed over, and quickly controlled the situation that was about to get out of control.

But the group still blocked the gate and refused to leave. The middle-aged woman in the lead continued to howl, not wanting to be outdone: "My son was killed by you! God has no eyes! Is there any justice in this world?!"

The woman simply sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying loudly, looking really heartbroken.

Luo Jingyao felt that it would be more credible if the other party had not made this gesture towards the mobile phone held by the man next to him.

She was very tactful and stopped walking when Lin Jiafan and others in front of her stood still. There happened to be an old tree next to her that looked very old, so she simply leaned against the rough trunk in a relaxed manner.

There was still a lot of noise outside the gate. The location of Jinshi Public Security Bureau was not remote to begin with. Gradually, both sides of the road began to be filled with people. Looking around, the first thing that caught the eye was not the sea of ​​heads, but countless mobile phones of various models.

Not to mention the Jinshi Public Security Bureau, one of the parties involved, Luo Jingyao felt dizzy just looking at the scene.

After a while, she shifted her gaze from the crowd to the group of people blocking the door and making trouble, and took a clear look at the boards they were waving in their hands.

On one side of the board was a photo. The man in the photo had a crew cut, a square face, small eyes, and a scar of medium length at the right corner of his eye.

"Hey! I remember now. Why did they look so familiar to me from afar in the training room? Isn't that the suspect in the June 13th serial murder case from two years ago?" The yellow-haired young man seemed to suddenly remember something. He clapped his hands and muttered in surprise along with the others around him, "Who's that?"

"Huang Guojun." Lin Jiafan replied in a calm tone.

"What suspect? The court sentenced him to death in the final trial last year. Huang Guojun should have been executed five or six months ago." Another male team member wearing black-framed glasses also spoke up.

"Then why are Huang Guojun's family members making trouble? I remember that this case was originally handled by the First Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of our bureau, right? The evidence is conclusive and complete, otherwise the original verdict would not have been upheld in the final instance." The yellow-haired young man was a little puzzled.

The man with black-framed glasses also spread his hands. Their entire group usually acted together, and they had been busy with physical training during the day recently. Since the other party didn't know, he was naturally confused.

There was no point in getting hung up on it, so the yellow-haired young man decided to wait and see what would happen. He crossed his arms over his chest and nudged the man next to him with his shoulder: "Boss, didn't you say you'd be away for two weeks before you left? It's only been a few days and you're back already."

Lin Jiafan raised his eyebrows towards the door and said, "This is why I was called back so suddenly."

Um?

These words not only attracted the attention of everyone in the special case investigation team, but also successfully made Luo Jingyao focus her attention on him.

It was at this moment that Luo Jingyao discovered that the voice of the legendary head of the special case investigation team was exceptionally pleasant and mellow, which matched his appearance perfectly. He exuded the rich aura of an "industry elite" from head to toe.

He wore a pair of frameless glasses on his nose, which was much better than that of ordinary people. Because the sunlight shone on the lenses, it was difficult to see what emotions were in the man's eyes at that moment.

Luo Jingyao subconsciously used the yellow-haired young man who was 1.9 meters tall as a reference, and conservatively estimated that the other party's height should be just over 1.8 meters.

"Ah? Aren't you just making trouble because you are dissatisfied with the verdict? Why did we ask you to come back?" The yellow-haired young man was obviously very confused.

His questioning voice brought Luo Jingyao's thoughts back to their track in time. She lowered her eyes slightly and focused all her attention on her ears, trying to distinguish the voice belonging to Lin Jiafan in the noise.

"It's about a case last week." Lin Jiafan said calmly, without any unnecessary emotion. "It's said that after returning from the scene, colleagues from the Technical Investigation Department discovered that some of the evidence at the crime scene and the murderer's modus operandi were quite similar to the June 13 serial murders."

!!!

This news immediately changed the expressions of everyone present, and the yellow-haired young man asked hurriedly: "How come we didn't hear anything?"

"Huang Guojun was executed not long ago, and his family members are very nervous. In addition, the bureau is also afraid that if this case is widely reported, it will arouse panic among the people. Adhering to the principle of less trouble is more, the news was temporarily suppressed, and the criminal investigation department was urged to solve the case as soon as possible." When Lin Jiafan said this, the black eyes hidden behind the lenses looked at the gate again.

"I couldn't hide it after all. It's obvious that Huang Guojun's family came with bad intentions today..." The young man smacked his lips with emotion.

At this moment, the only woman in the special case investigation team snorted coldly, "As a mother, how could she not know all the bad things her son did? Huang Guojun confessed to his past crimes during the trial. What on earth are they trying to do by making such a fuss now?"

The woman who was speaking was wearing a black windbreaker, with her semi-long hair tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head. She was in her thirties, with a dashing look between her eyebrows and a thin face full of contempt.

Looking at the expressions of the others at this moment, they obviously agreed with what she said, but no one continued to express any opinions. The surroundings became quiet for a while, with only the noise outside the door continuing.

Luo Jingyao, who had been standing against a tree not far away for a long time, finally moved her stiff legs. She took out her phone from her backpack thoughtfully and casually searched the Internet for the Jinshi June 13th major serial murder case.

Suddenly, overwhelming news appeared before her eyes.

Jinshi's economy has developed rapidly in recent years and it can be regarded as a new first-tier city. The influx of a large number of foreign population has brought unlimited vitality but also increased many hidden dangers.

Various types of cases have been increasing year by year, but particularly vicious cases like the June 13th serial murder case are rare in ten years, and naturally caused quite a stir at the time.

There were even several media outlets that did special reports on this case.

Without much hesitation, Luo Jingyao clicked on a special report and read the densely packed text on the screen at an extremely fast speed. However, within two minutes, her breathing stopped, and then waves of chills climbed up her back densely.

Reports said that the suspect Huang Guojun chose to pick up a butcher knife and kill people in order to vent his dissatisfaction after suffering a huge blow from both career and love.

The victims under his knife were all women between the ages of 20 and 40. After killing the victims, he would choose to dismember them with horrifying cruelty.

Skin, shave meat, and leave bones.

The evidence that allowed the police to finally identify the suspect was that Huang Guojun would cut off the ring finger of each person he killed and take it away.

Ring finger.

Luo Jingyao's pupils dilated rapidly due to shock, and she couldn't help but recall the strange refrigerator she was in last night, and the severed finger wrapped in a black plastic bag, which looked quite fresh.

Is it such a coincidence?

She swallowed, and the dryness in her throat brought her back to her senses.

After realizing it belatedly, Luo Jingyao turned off the phone screen, raised her eyes and looked carefully at the photos in the hands of the group of people outside the door again, and quickly denied the thought that had just arisen in her mind.

What she saw was probably not the crime scene of Huang Guojun, after all, the other party had been executed two years ago.

So could it be the 'last week's case' that Lin Jiafan mentioned before?

Luo Jingyao frowned slightly. She finally had a clue about the crime scene she had peeked at before, but she didn't know what to do next.

Just as she was struggling with this, the yellow-haired young man in front of her also sensed something was amiss. "Eh? Boss? Didn't you say that last week's case was handed over to the Criminal Investigation Detachment? Why did you call you back?"

"The case was exposed by the media last night, and there was a huge uproar online. People were saying that the serial killer had come back to life, so the bureau booked a plane ticket for me overnight. From what I heard, they wanted our team to take over." Lin Jiafan lowered his head slightly and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.

He only slept for about two hours on the plane in the past two days, and the fatigue on his face was obvious.

No wonder Huang Guojun’s family came to make trouble, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

It is normal that this case finally fell into their team's hands, as it is a perfect match for their expertise.

The so-called "special case investigations" refer to those cases that sound mysterious on the surface. All the strange and mysterious things, in the end, are just the result of the corruption of human nature.

Their reactions fell into Lin Jiafan's eyes, and the man narrowed his eyes in surprise: "You don't know about this?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Special Case Investigation Team all revealed guilty expressions. The young man raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, stammering, "We've really been too tired these past two days..."

I am so tired that I feel like a stray dog. When I get home from get off work, I just want to fall asleep. Who has the energy to surf the Internet and read the news?

As soon as they finished speaking, they turned their heads together, their gazes filled with accusation falling on the man standing next to the big tree.

Luo Jingyao was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, she gave everyone a sincere smile.

Her appearance was deceptively sweet, and this made the other team members feel a little embarrassed.

Seriously speaking, it's all for work, but now it seems like they are snitching and bullying, but God knows what kind of miserable life they have been going through these past two days! QAQ

Lin Jiafan's gaze slowly fixed on Luo Jingyao's curved smiling eyes, but before he could say anything, two figures hurriedly rushed out of the office building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The man in the hat running ahead had a fierce look on his face. When he got closer, he lowered his voice and said hurriedly to Lin Jiafan, "Captain Lin! Captain Lin, something bad has happened!!!"
