"There are two cases now..." Jiao Guofeng said to Zhao Yu and others in the director's office, "However, both cases are not very urgent. If you don't want to take them, I will find another team!"
"Well..." Zhao Yu and Miao Ying looked at each other, and Zhao Yu took the lead in saying, "Let's talk about it first! See if it's enough to attract my level, Detective Zhao?"
"Haha, speaking of..." Director Jiao pointed at the two documents on his desk, then pointed at Zhao Yu, and said, "These two cases are related to you, Detective Zhao!"
"Oh? Really?" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he obviously became energetic.
"Do you still remember the name Wang Can?" Director Jiao handed one of the documents to Zhao Yu, "The Yaoming Police Station encountered a difficult case..."
"Wang Can? Oh..." Zhao Yu clapped his hands, "That's the little policeman from Yaoming! We had a close friendship with Cui Lizhu, and I wanted to introduce them to each other at the beginning!
"However, that boy is quite clever. He calls me Master every time he calls. What case did this boy... encounter?"
"Let me take a look..." Miao Ying snatched the document and opened it to check.
"I want to show you this case because some people now call it the Chinese version of Memories of Murder," Director Jiao said with a solemn expression. "The higher-ups don't want this case to be expanded indefinitely, so they hope that the criminal justice system will The agency can intervene and find out the truth as soon as possible."
"Wow..." Zhao Yu exclaimed, and then asked seriously, "What is Memories of Murder?"
"What? 13 people?" Miao Ying looked at the information and shook her head, "If they are all true, there are more victims than the video murder case!?"
"The situation is indeed serious," Director Jiao said. "The murderer claimed that he raped and killed 13 women in a frenzied manner in the southeastern coastal areas of my country in 10 years!!"
"Wait..." Zhao Yu heard the problem, "You just said, the murderer claimed? So, he has... been caught?"
"The murderer was an inmate in the prison. Because he was terminally ill and felt there was no hope of release, he claimed that he was a murderer and wrote a murder memoir in his own hand!" Director Jiao said, "At first, this memoir It did not attract the attention of the prison authorities.
“They just thought that this prisoner wanted to die and wrote whatever he wanted.
"However, later a prison guard accidentally discovered the memoir. Feeling that he had nothing to do, he studied the contents carefully, and was surprised to find that the contents were very true. Many of the details, if not professionals, would There is no way it can be written in such detail and true!
"So, the prison guard contacted the local criminal police team. As a result, according to the contents of the murder memoirs, the police actually found the corresponding murder case, and the details were surprisingly consistent with the memoirs!"
"Oh my God, there is such a thing? But..." Zhao Yu asked, "Anyway, the murderer has been caught. Then, isn't it just a matter of investigating and following the regular procedures
"Hmm..." Seeing Director Jiao's eyes dim, Zhao Yu suddenly guessed, "Could it be that... the murderer... has... already..."
"Yes!" Director Jiao nodded and said, "We missed the best time for interrogation. By the time we realized that this matter was not trivial, the murderer's condition had seriously deteriorated and he could no longer communicate with others!
"Just a month ago, he just passed away at the age of 79..."
"Tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips and sighed, "Good people have a short life, but bad people live a thousand years!"
"Director Jiao," Miao Ying closed the document and said, "Although the suspect has passed away, with the murder memoir, we can still conduct evidence collection and investigation.
"As long as all the details match, even if the suspect dies, he can still be convicted!"
"It makes sense," Zhao Yu nodded, "Wang Can can handle this kind of mindless work, so I shouldn't need to do it myself, right?"
"That's what I say, but..." Director Jiao said in embarrassment, "Because of the age, the investigation and evidence collection work is not as simple as imagined!
“Moreover, the murder memoirs are not 100% consistent with reality. Several of the cases were not opened by the police and the bodies were never found.
"So, we are still not sure whether the murder memoirs are completely true..." Director Jiao paused and then said, "Due to improper initial handling, this case has attracted the attention of the local media. If the truth cannot be found out as soon as possible, It may cause unpredictable adverse effects.
"So, Wang Can made a request to the Criminal Department, hoping to find a criminal investigation expert who is good at solving old cases to go to Yaoming to direct the work!
"Obviously, this person... is you!"
"Alas! The tree is so big that it attracts the wind..." Zhao Yu said this, but his face was obviously full of excitement.
"This case..." Miao Ying made a bitter expression, "It is really unprecedented, and the difficulty of the work can be imagined. It will definitely be more difficult than the video murder case!"
"Don't worry," Zhao Yu suddenly remembered something and asked quickly, "Director Jiao, didn't you say there is another case? It has something to do with me too?"
"Yes," Director Jiao asked, "You must have heard of Tuoshan, right?"
"Of course," Zhao Yu replied without hesitation, "Why, what happened to Tuoshan?"
"Tuoshan?" Miao Ying was curious, "Is it the Tuoshan in Qinshan?"
"Yes, half are in Qinshan and half are in Zhangze," Director Jiao said, "A few days ago, there was a scientific expedition team studying biology. They discovered a dry well from the Wufengling area of Tuoshan!
"Due to the need for inspection, they dug the well on the spot in order to get the water source, but the result..."
"What? Is there a body in the well?" Zhao Yu asked next.
Director Jiao did not say anything further, but stretched out four fingers.
"I won the prize!" Zhao Yu suddenly stopped smiling and said, "I've heard of Wufengling, which is a deep mountain and old forest. Where did the well come from?"
"At first, the scientific expedition team members just dug out some scattered human bones from the well. They felt something was wrong, so they reported the case to the Luolong County Police!" Director Jiao handed the corresponding documents to Zhao Yu, " Then, the police conducted a large-scale excavation of the well, and four bodies were dug out from underneath!”
"Oh..." Zhao Yu briefly flipped through the documents, nodded and said, "They are all men, and their personal clothes were left on the bones..."
"You know," Director Jiao said, "The incident happened at the intersection of the two provinces. Considering the limited case handling capabilities of Xixia Province, we initially wanted Qinshan to handle it, but the incident happened to be outside the boundary of Qinshan.
"So... we are in a bit of a dilemma. We still want the Criminal Department to send a group of people to handle it and let the police departments of the two provinces cooperate to assist in the investigation. I think this is the best arrangement. What do you think?"
"Indeed..." Zhao Yu said, "The incident took place in a deep mountain and old forest. The deceased was either from Xixia Province or our Longxi Province. It is indeed the best choice to take command of the special task force and coordinate the investigation between the two provinces!"
"Look at this corpse..." Miao Ying pointed to the picture of bones on the document and said, "It should be a few years old, right? Otherwise..."
"I think so too!" Zhao Yu said, "Compared with any memoirs of murder, I still prefer to find the murderer! Besides..." He put his arms around Miao Ying, "We can go back to our hometown just in time!"
