After the New Year, Su He's side also became busy.

At the beginning of the year, their criminal investigation team received a case that left the local police stations at a loss.

When Su He and his team first received the case, they were somewhat surprised.

In the past, they mostly handled murder cases or other serious crimes, but this time it was a case of burglary and rape.

But it's not a simple case of home invasion and rape.

Because it involves more than one case; the police station alone has investigated more than twenty cases so far, and of course, there are definitely more in fact.

After all, this era was still relatively conservative, and many people, especially women, could only endure it and dared not speak out for fear of being talked about and ridiculed.

In this case, the first woman to report to the police was injured by the perpetrator while resisting, and her family discovered this the next day, which is when she reported it to the police.

Later, after investigation, the local police station discovered that there was more than one such case, and the incidents occurred in more than one location, involving more than a dozen villages in the southeastern suburbs of Beijing.

It can be said that it involves a very wide range.

Of course, this also increased the difficulty of the police investigation.

After investigation, the local police station discovered that the area where the perpetrator committed the crime was more than ten kilometers wide, making the investigation very difficult.

So they had to join forces with other nearby police stations, but because there were too few police officers, they were afraid they still couldn't handle it all, so they arranged for local militiamen to take turns on duty every night to try to catch the man.

However, after a period of time, they not only failed to catch the man, but the criminal also committed multiple crimes during this period, and he escaped every time.

The police felt the criminal was too cunning, and that it would be difficult for the police station to investigate on its own, so they had no choice but to report the case to the municipal bureau.

After receiving the report, Su He and his team gathered together to analyze it.

After reviewing the entire case, Hu Xing was somewhat surprised. "Is there really only one criminal? With so many police officers and local militia members deployed, there must have been at least three hundred people, right? And yet they weren't caught even once?"

Qi Yang analyzed, "The murderer may have strong counter-surveillance capabilities, or the murderer may be among these people and easily know their routes of movement."

Su He nodded, but she still had some questions. "According to the victim's description, the murderer should have a certain level of fighting ability. He was a burly man with a fierce appearance and great strength. There shouldn't be many people in the area who fit these descriptions, right? The police station couldn't find anyone who matched the description?"

Zhou Yan added, "I also think the criminal must be from this area, otherwise how would he know that no man was home that night? He must have scouted the area beforehand."

Jiao Weimin listened and thought for a moment, “Although that area is a rural area on the outskirts of Beijing, I remember there seem to be several factories nearby, right?”

The workers in these factories are mostly local young adults, and many of them likely require night shifts, so it's normal that only women and children are home at night. It wouldn't be difficult for the murderer to find out.

Su He nodded, "Moreover, the timing of this murderer's crimes is completely irregular. A long time has passed since the first case, and if I calculate it, it seems that each time he commits a crime, it is random."

Logically, with so many police officers and local militia members mobilized, the news should have spread by now. He still dared to commit the crime against the wind and hasn't been caught yet; he seems like someone who fears nothing.
