Chapter 427 Panic in the City
"Oh my god, this is the second female corpse, right?"
"Yeah, what's going on in Wencheng? Why are there always people dying?"
"It must have been done by a murderer. What a sin! How can it be considered as murdering a woman?"
"Now at night, no one dares to go out."
"I don't dare. I don't dare at all. I only have one daughter at home. I have told her many times not to run around at night."
"I heard that because of this incident, women working in Wencheng were asked to leave work an hour earlier. After all, it gets dark quickly now."
"Yeah, it's so scary. Who on earth would come out to kill people in the middle of winter?"
Early in the morning, a bunch of gossipy old men and women gathered at the door of their house, discussing with their neighbors the two recent murders in Wencheng.
They were all killed at night and their bodies were found early the next morning.
Moreover, they were all middle-aged women whose faces were disfigured beyond recognition, but who were wearing quite nice clothes.
The Wencheng police are under a lot of pressure now. After the first case, they still don’t know who the deceased is. They have searched the entire city but still can’t find the person.
Just when everyone was tired of investigating and letting down their guard, the second case emerged.
All those who had opposed Captain Liu before were now silent.
After all, this matter has become a big deal.
At this moment, the people of Wencheng were in a panic. At night, there was no one around except the patrolling police.
Moreover, the murderer was very smart, as the crime scenes were all far apart.
His anti-reconnaissance ability is also quite outstanding, and the second case was also committed in a location that the police would not expect.
The police now have serious suspicions that this person may have served in the military and may come from a well-off family.
The two women he killed had calluses on their hands, but their clothes were worn neatly.
This means that the clothes were either given to them by the murderer, or they were changed by the murderer after he knocked them unconscious.
"It's been so many days! The identities of the two deceased have not been confirmed yet! What are you doing here?" In the police headquarters, Song Zhicheng was venting his anger at his subordinates.
There was no way out. The incident in Wencheng was known to the big guys in Kyoto, who hinted that they should solve the case quickly and not cause panic among the people.
The pressure was put on the mayor, and the mayor could only pass the pressure on to the police chief.
Then the soldiers and generals below started crying. They really hadn’t slept a wink during those days, patrolling everywhere in the middle of winter.
Now almost all the police force in the police station is being used to patrol at night, leaving no place untouched.
I’m afraid that if they aren’t paying attention, another victim will appear.
"Chief, we've checked every household, and we've definitely not found the missing person." Captain Liu stepped forward to report.
Captain Liu is under a lot of pressure now. He was the one who took on the task, but he didn't expect that a week has passed and there has been no progress at all in the case.
What’s more troublesome is that this suspect might be a serial killer and there’s no telling when the next victim will appear.
“Every household has been checked, have you checked it thoroughly?
For those who said that they went out to buy things, visit relatives, and are not in Wencheng for the time being, have you verified the authenticity of this information?
Just know how to be lazy! If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who will do it!
Orders were given to conduct a city-wide check again, and to go door to door with household registration information, and only those who were found would be considered.
If you haven't seen the person, ask about the person's whereabouts. If he is nearby, send someone to the local area to check if this person is there.
Anyway, I'll do it until I see the person. Including the ticket purchase records at the station, check them all for me. I don't need to teach you all this, right? ”
Song Zhicheng looked at the group of subordinates in front of him and spoke mercilessly.
The people below were also miserable when they heard that they had to do so many things.
What the director said may sound like nothing, but it is very dangerous to do.
I guess the people below them will be busy for several days and nights.
Captain Liu was the first to respond to the director's order and said, "Okay, Director, I'll give the order now."
Seeing his apprentice, Song Zhicheng's expression finally softened a little.
He also knew that some of the people in front of him had not had a good night's sleep for several days and nights because of this case, and everyone was busy.
The strange thing is that the current investigation technology is underdeveloped, and the murderer is too cunning, and his anti-reconnaissance ability is first-class.
They investigated for such a long time but didn't find anyone who was even remotely suspicious.
So one can imagine how good the murderer's psychological quality is. He was not panicked at all and was even able to handle the police's investigation with ease.
But the murderer is definitely in Wencheng now and he won’t run away, so we still have to investigate.
"You all should have women in your families. There is such a scourge in Wencheng, who knows who the next victim will be? Everyone, do you think this is true? Now I dare not let my wife, daughters and granddaughters go out, just in case. Let's work together to catch the person as soon as possible and eliminate the hidden danger."
After scolding, Song Zhicheng adopted a conciliatory policy towards the police officers.
Sure enough, this time many people responded to him, saying that they would definitely investigate thoroughly and not let go of any suspicious points.
After the meeting, Song Zhicheng left Captain Liu alone.
"Master, what's wrong?" Captain Liu asked puzzledly.
Song Zhicheng sighed, then said: "This mission may be a bit dangerous, you must pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, Master. I know."
"This time it's really weird. There's no clue at all, not even a suspect." Song Zhicheng's hair turned a little gray when he thought about what the mayor said.
The mayor said that if the next suspect appeared, he, as the police chief and mayor, would both quit their jobs and go home to farm.
The meaning above has been made very clear. We must resolve this matter and catch the murderer.
"Xiao Liu, this time, we must investigate thoroughly and catch the murderer." Song Zhicheng ordered again.
Captain Liu saluted Song Zhicheng and replied, "Master, I will do my best."
Song Zhicheng nodded and waved his hand, asking him to leave.
As soon as Captain Liu came out, he gave orders and started to work.
Although everyone feels that the work is hard, no one wants to lose this iron rice bowl.
Don't let them catch this murderer who has tortured them for so long.
"By the way, Xiao Chen, you said that Dr. Fu came to see me before?" Captain Liu suddenly asked the young police officer next to him.
Xiao Chen is the young police officer who took Fu Tinghua to the military hospital to see the corpse.
"Yes, Captain Liu. He suspected before that the deceased was someone he knew. I knew that he had a good relationship with you, so I took him directly to the military hospital. I thought you were there at that time." Xiao Chen said very flatteringly.
"Well, did he say anything later?" Captain Liu asked again.
"No, he just said that the deceased's hands were very rough, probably the hands of someone who had been doing farm work for many years. It couldn't be the person he knew." Xiao Chen answered truthfully.
"Okay, I got it. Tell them to focus on checking those who own land. The two deceased were between 45 and 55 years old. There weren't so many construction workers before, so they must have done too much farm work, which is why their hands have such heavy calluses." Captain Liu said again.
"Yes, Captain Liu." Xiao Chen replied quickly.
