Su He listened and pondered for a moment, "What about the others? This connection alone is not enough to lock down the murderer. Have any other clues been found in the previous cases, such as where the victim's body went? Or the murder weapon?"
Chen Feng shook his head. "The body wasn't found; we suspect it has been abandoned."
He sighed again at this point, "Our initial suspicion is that the crime was committed at night, and the body was probably thrown into the water or some other hard-to-find place. Finding it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, it's too difficult!"
Su He sighed upon hearing this. Indeed, without surveillance cameras in this era, finding someone is incredibly difficult. Even fingerprints and shoe prints, which are invisible to the naked eye, cannot be traced. It's truly a double challenge!
No wonder there are so many stories of decades-old cold cases being solved in later generations.
It's not that the police are incompetent these days, but rather that they have too few tools. Solving cases relies entirely on speculation and observation, which makes it many times more difficult for the police to solve cases these days!
This has also resulted in many cases remaining unsolved for years. The police station alone has accumulated a thick stack of unsolved cases over the past few years, not to mention those from before.
Sigh, with all these factors combined, it would be too easy for the murderer to escape!
Thinking too much, Su He came to her senses when Chen Feng continued, "As for the murder weapon, based on the smoothness of the cut on the neck, we guess it must have been an exceptionally sharp knife."
There were initial suspicions, and inquiries were made with people who bought the knife through the supply and marketing cooperative and other channels. However, there were too many people involved, the cooperative had no records, and it couldn't be confirmed that the murderer had recently purchased the knife. Therefore, this lead was ultimately abandoned.
Su He sighed again after hearing this.
Ugh, this is so difficult!
No matter how difficult the case is, it must be pushed forward.
Originally, Chen Feng and his team came to see what similarities this case had with previous cases in order to deduce the culprit. They were very satisfied with their early success and immediately decided to investigate Wang Pan'er.
Now that we've decided to solve this case, the Municipal Public Security Bureau will take the lead, with the local police station playing a supporting role.
So, everyone split up to investigate.
Su He and his team are mainly in charge of this case.
Team Leader Yu arranged for people to continue investigating the details of Li Zhaodi's case and to inquire whether there were any witnesses.
After thinking for a moment, Su He went to the Xu family.
Perhaps it was the police officer's intuition, but she always felt that the breakthrough in this case lay with the Xu family. After all, Xu Jingya was the first victim and possibly the first person the murderer killed, so she always hoped to leave something behind.
So Su He inquired about the Xu family's location and then went there with her belongings.
The Xu couple were both government officials and lived in a very nice place. However, when Su He arrived and knocked on the door, a familiar young man opened it.
"Dr. Jiang?"
Su He was somewhat surprised to see him; she hadn't expected him to be there.
Jiang Wangchao, however, calmly nodded upon seeing her, seemingly glancing at her clothes before asking, "Who are you looking for?"
Su He had already regained her composure by now, after all, she knew about Dr. Jiang's relationship with them.
"I'm looking for Aunt Song, is she home?"
Jiang Wangchao nodded. "Yes, come in!"
He then gave up his seat.
After Su He entered the room, Song Xiangyu, who had heard the noise, also came out of the room, followed by Xu Qinghuan, who was holding a child.
Upon seeing Su He, Song Xiangyu was quite surprised. "It's Xiao Su? Oh my, I almost didn't recognize you in that outfit. I never expected Xiao Su to be a police officer. Come in and have a seat."
