Chapter 101 The Murderer Has Been Caught
This is something that not only adults are curious about.
Upon hearing this, the children put down their chopsticks and looked over with curiosity.
Influenced by the professions of Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo, the children of the Huo family were exposed to it from a young age.
Therefore, they did not feel afraid or terrified about the murder.
Now that the suspects have been caught, Uncle Huo has nothing to hide.
He said with a look of delight, "Got it!"
"real?"
"Oh, this is wonderful!"
While everyone was happy, they couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Including this time, there are a total of ten victims.
These people are around eighteen years old on average, which is the prime of their lives.
Among them were newlywed women and high school students.
They should have had a happy and stable future, but now this person has ruined it all.
Uncle Huo's feelings at this moment were more complicated.
Five years, one month, and nine days have passed since the incident occurred.
During this period, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau mobilized over a thousand police officers, and a total of 1,216 units assisted in the investigation.
A total of 5,862 written records were taken.
Even so, this beast still managed to escape for five years.
In the past five years, none of the police officers who handled the cases have had a good night's sleep.
Whenever a new victim emerges, everyone feels an urge to slap themselves.
Today, this person was finally apprehended and brought to justice.
The moment the suspect was apprehended, all the police officers were moved to tears.
If it weren't for the need to take this person back for questioning about the specific details of the crime, everyone would have wanted to beat this beast to death on the spot.
Thinking of this, Uncle Huo stood up, drinking tea instead of wine.
"Sister-in-law, we are so grateful for your words that have enlightened us."
"Otherwise, we'd be too caught up in the situation to know how long we'd be wandering around here."
"Also, I'd like to thank..."
Since everyone present was family, Uncle Huo could have simply said that the person he wanted to thank was his third brother's wife.
But at the last moment, he still earnestly uttered the words "Comrade Jiang Si".
At this moment, she was not only Huo's daughter-in-law and the third son's wife, but also herself.
Moreover, Uncle Huo had a vague feeling that her future achievements might be far greater than this.
Uncle Huo said, "If she hadn't drawn the suspect's profile picture for us and reminded us that the suspect had undergone nasal bone surgery, we wouldn't have been able to identify the suspect so quickly."
"On behalf of all the victims' families and all the investigators, I would like to say thank you!"
Mrs. Huo was completely stunned. She could understand why her fourth son thanked his daughter-in-law.
Why should I thank her?
What did she say? She didn't say anything. Wasn't the caller Old Huo?
As she stood up, she quickly asked Mr. Huo, who was standing next to her.
"Old Huo, what's going on? Didn't you and Lao San have already thought of this?"
Mr. Huo smiled and said, "If you hadn't said that as long as this person is still in Beijing, there's no way we wouldn't hear from him, we wouldn't have thought of this."
"And it's also thanks to your habit of keeping newspapers that Lao Si and the others were able to follow the clues and catch this person."
"So, what the fourth brother said is absolutely right."
Jiang Si nodded in agreement, "Mom, sometimes the most unintentional remark is the key to solving a case. This is really thanks to you."
"Is...is that so?"
After being told a few words by her daughter-in-law and father-in-law, Huo's mother was a little dizzy.
Is she really that amazing?
But that doesn't matter, as long as this person gets caught.
After they sat down, Mrs. Huo asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"Fourth brother, tell us quickly, how did you catch this guy?"
"And who exactly is he, and what is his connection to the first victim?"
Uncle Huo didn't keep everyone in suspense and explained the situation to everyone in detail.
It turns out that this person's name is Li Gennian, and he, like the victim's family, works for the Jingxi Mining Bureau.
However, one of them was in a management position at the General Administration, and the other was a coal miner at a coal mine under the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Minerals. The two of them didn't usually have any interaction.
Until six years ago, a serious mining accident occurred at a coal mine under the Jingxi Mining Bureau.
At the time, Li Gennian and his father were both working underground.
In the instant the coal mine collapsed, his father pushed Li Gennian to a relatively safe position.
Therefore, Li Gennian was spared from death.
He and the other injured were then rushed to Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing, where he underwent nasal bone surgery.
The mining accident resulted in injuries to more than 300 people to varying degrees and a total of 46 deaths, including Li Gennian's father.
The accident caused quite a stir back then, reportedly because the deceased's family was dissatisfied with the compensation offered by the employer.
This led to several physical altercations between the two sides.
The father of the victim in the first case happened to be the person in charge of the compensation case for this mining accident.
In fact, when the first case occurred, the police suspected that the murderer was an acquaintance or that he had a grudge against the victim's family.
Therefore, the first group of suspects they investigated were the families of these mine victims.
However, Li Gennian's name was not among those who led the most violent protests back then.
In addition, the families of the victims of the mining accident reacted strongly and refused to cooperate.
This also caused the police officers to take many detours during the investigation.
Hearing this, everyone was puzzled. If they had investigated, why hadn't they found this person?
At this moment, Aunt Huo spoke up to explain.
"Because during their investigation, the murderer committed another crime, and not long after, a third murder occurred."
In less than half a month, three young girls in the prime of their lives were tragically killed in Beijing.
It's no exaggeration to say that during that period, there were hardly any people on the streets by 5 p.m.
Even when they go out to use the toilet, the women always go in groups of three or five.
Under pressure from various parties, the public security department had no choice.
They had to redeploy the police force that was originally investigating the families of the mine disaster and then expand the search area.
Uncle Huo said, "Actually, from this point on, our investigation was completely misled by the murderer."
"The murderer was afraid that we would find him, so he deliberately killed two innocent women."
"The purpose is simply to divert our attention."
Aunt Huo added, "The first one was a revenge killing, the latter two were to divert attention."
“Starting from the fourth case, the killer’s mentality had already changed significantly.”
She was the one who performed the autopsies in those cases.
Aunt Huo still remembers the first time her two assistants saw the victim.
The two of them even vomited up the bile in their stomachs.
Since then, the two of them have never eaten any animal offal, and they rarely even touch meat.
Because the cases that followed were all increasingly bloody.
Therefore, all the investigators at the time unanimously believed that this person might not be seeking revenge; perhaps he was simply a psychopath.
This is one of the reasons why the case has remained unsolved.
If the direction was wrong from the start, how can we find the murderer?
"Wait, something's not right!"
Mrs. Huo asked suspiciously, "Didn't you already know that the murderer had nasal bone surgery half a month ago? Why didn't you go to the hospital to check the three-part report?"
In this era, as long as you are a formal employee of a company, you don't need to spend money on medical treatment.
All you need to do is go to the hospital with the three-part form issued by your employer.
The receipt is for the patient; they can use it to register, see a doctor, have examinations, and undergo surgery.
The stub copy is given to the unit's finance department for bookkeeping.
The settlement statement is then submitted to the hospital for filing and subsequent billing.
Moreover, this three-part form can also be used by the employee's immediate family members, but the reimbursement rate is only 50%.
In addition, some Western medicines or X-rays need to be paid for by the employees' families themselves.
Logically speaking, all you need to do is go to the hospital for a check-up and compare your results with those of the people who had surgery during the mining accident years ago.
Won't we be able to identify the murderer quickly?
In fact, as early as half a month ago, the police had already retrieved the list of people who had undergone nasal bone surgery in major hospitals in Beijing over the past ten years.
However... things were far more complicated than they had imagined.
[I didn't write anything in the next chapter, why has it been under review for so long and still hasn't been released?]
