Chapter 71: Couple Butcher: An Old Case

Back in the bureau, Fang Rui found the case file of Linzhou City in the file room.

The case happened half a year ago, and the body of the deceased was dug out from a wasteland near an industrial zone.

At that time, someone bought the wasteland and planned to build a warehouse, but during the excavation process, bodies were suddenly dug out from underground, and Xiju's body was found all at once, shocking the entire Linzhou City.

Xiju's body was buried in two places. Originally, when the construction team excavated, they only found one body pit. Later, the police excavated the entire wasteland and found another pair of bodies in a corner of the wasteland. In

the first body pit, there were two dead people, a man and a woman, who were a couple.

Victim 1: Chen Meiqin, female, 45 years old, a sewing worker in a furniture factory; time of death: April to May 2018; location of the crime: wasteland near the factory area of ​​Changfeng Street, Baixi District, Linzhou City; on-site inspection: the body was severely decomposed, and no obvious wounds were found after identification, and the cause of death is unknown.

Victim 2: Zhang Mingqiang, male, 47 years old, a carpenter in a furniture factory; time of death: April to May 2018; location of the crime: wasteland near the factory area of ​​Changfeng Street, Baixi District, Linzhou City; on-site inspection: no obvious wounds were found after identification, the body was severely decomposed, and no obvious injuries were found after identification, and the cause of death is unknown.

The two were husband and wife, married for 25 years, and had a good relationship. The two victims were usually kind and had simple social relationships, so the police did not find any suspects after checking their social relationships. In addition, the bodies were severely decomposed and it was impossible to estimate the exact time of death, so the murderer was not found in this case.

The second body pit contained two female bodies, which were severely decomposed, but not as severely as the first two victims. After subsequent investigation, the police found that the two female victims were lesbians who had been dating for 2 years and had a stable relationship.

Victim 3: Zhang Yawen, female, 28 years old, foreign trade salesperson; time of death: September to the end of October 2018; location of the crime: wasteland near the factory area of ​​Changfeng Street, Baixi District, Linzhou City; on-site inspection: the deceased was holding a withered flower branch, the body was severely decomposed, and there were no obvious injuries after identification, and the cause of death was unknown.

Victim 4: Tian Xin, female, 24 years old, finance; time of death: September to the end of October 2018; location of the crime: wasteland near the factory area of ​​Changfeng Street, Baixi District, Linzhou City: the deceased was holding a withered flower branch, the body was severely decomposed, and there were multiple knife wounds on the chest and abdomen. The cause of death was suspected to be aortic rupture leading to massive bleeding.

The bodies were found at the same location, but the time of death of each couple was different.

The deceased all lived in that industrial area and worked nearby. However, after investigation, the police found that the two couples had no intersection and no common acquaintances. The case has not made any progress and the murderer has not been caught yet.

"Boss, you see these two dead are holding dry branches in their hands, are they roses?" After reading the files, Xiao Zhang also felt that the Linzhou case was very similar to the case they encountered today, "The murderer of these cases can't be the same person, right?"

The first feeling told Fang Rui that these cases must be related.

However, the jurisdiction of the Linzhou case was not under their jurisdiction. To restart the investigation of the Linzhou case, the director needed to negotiate with Linzhou, so Fang Rui decided not to investigate the case together and to investigate the Jiangzhou University case independently.

The deceased had student ID cards, so their identities were quickly confirmed. They were: Wang Jie, a sophomore student in the College of Arts, and Zhang Shuochen, a junior student in the College of Law. Seven days ago, the two deceased asked for leave from the school, saying that they were going to the hospital for treatment, and then they completely lost contact.

Fang Rui immediately found Wang Jie and Zhang Shuochen's roommates and teachers and began to inquire about the situation.

The first person to be inquired was Wang Jie's roommate. Wang Jie lived in the Western Dormitory, and her counselor called her three roommates to the office.

"Wang Jie was a very kind girl. She was a little princess-like, but she was very warm-hearted and always helped us," said Wang Jie's roommate Chen Linlin. "Last Wednesday, she told us that she was going to an event with her boyfriend, and we never contacted her again."

Fang Rui found that after several of Wang Jie's roommates learned of Wang Jie's death, their expressions were only shock, not sadness. Wang Jie might not be as kind and friendly as Chen Linlin described, and their roommate relationship did not seem good.

"Do you know what event it was?" Fang Rui asked.

"We don't know clearly. Xiao Jie said that it was an event that only couples could attend, and we singles could only envy it. But she didn't say where the event was held or what the specific content was." Chen Linlin curled her lips, "Maybe there was no event at all, she just went out with her boyfriend and didn't want to tell us."

"Didn't she contact you during the seven days she took leave?"

"No. She never contacted us again after leaving the dormitory. Last Friday, I sent her a WeChat message asking her to pay the electricity bill, but she didn't reply to us."

"She has been out of contact for so many days, don't you feel something is wrong? Didn't you take the initiative to contact her and ask about her situation?" Xiao Zhang asked puzzled. Wang Jie's roommate is too indifferent!

"It's not our fault!" Li Ran, another roommate of Wang Jie, retorted unhappily, "How dare we meddle in her affairs? If we ask too much, she might think that we are interested in her boyfriend and are using her to find out about her boyfriend's situation. I'm speechless. It must be that Wang Jie treats her rubbish boyfriend like a treasure!"

"Li Ran, don't say that about Wang Jie. She's passed away." Jiang Yujue reminded her in a low voice.

"Haha, you're the only one who knows how to be a nice person!"

Fang Rui asked, "How is the relationship between Wang Jie and her boyfriend?"

"Very good! Xiao Jie's boyfriend is very nice to her and obeys her in everything." Chen Linlin's tone was full of envy, "She and her boyfriend are the model couple of our school. They both appeared in our school's promotional video."

"They show their love on the Internet every day, it's so fake, and you still think it's sweet. You must have taken too much industrial saccharin and think everything is sweet!" Li Ran started to be weird again.

Fang Rui looked at Li Ran: "Student Li, do you think their relationship is not good?"

"I didn't say that. What does their relationship have to do with me?" Li Ran looked away unnaturally. She scratched her short hair impatiently and said to the counselor, "Counselor, I have something urgent to do. Can I go and do my thing first?"

The counselor looked at Fang Rui embarrassedly, and Fang Rui nodded to indicate that she could leave.

After Li Ran left, Fang Rui asked the remaining two people, "Does Li and Wang Jie have a bad relationship?" "

Well, their personalities don't match. Li Ran is more boyish, and she can't stand Wang Jie's princess syndrome; Wang Jie doesn't like tomboys like her, so they don't like each other." Chen Linlin paused, "And Li Ran may like Zhang Shuochen. They are high school classmates, both from Linzhou No. 1 Middle School next door, and they used to have a good relationship. So this conflict is even bigger."

Xiao Zhang was speechless. How did this turn into an idol drama plot?

"Do they know anyone outside the school?" Fang Rui asked.

Chen Linlin thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know. Wang Jie never returns to the dormitory, and we don't know who she knows." "

Okay, thank you for your cooperation!"
