Tan An Province is a large province located in the central region with a large population, rich resources, and its GDP has always been among the best in the country.
Jin Bien City is a large city in the southeast of Jin An Province. Although it is not the provincial capital, it is above the provincial capital in terms of population area and economic development.
24 years ago, the first case of a headless female corpse occurred in this city.
On a wet and cold morning, an old man who was fishing by the lake got into the woods near the lake because of panic. However, he saw a horrifying scene under one of the pine trees. There was a headless female corpse sitting under the pine tree! !
According to the police case report, the body was naked and leaning against a pine tree. Although it had no head, it was lifelike and very strange...
Unexpectedly, that was just the beginning. In the next five years, several more murder cases of headless female corpses appeared in Linfu and Leping areas near Jinbian City, which shocked the whole country.
After identification, the police found that the murderer's killing methods were exactly the same, so they classified the case as a major serial murder!
In 5 years, 6 corpses!
A major criminal case with such a serious impact has naturally attracted the attention of senior leaders. They have deployed huge manpower and material resources to conduct an investigation that lasted for several years. However, in the end, the real culprit was still not found, making the case a mystery. The mystery of the century!
Later, when Jin Zhenbang was a special coordinator of the Central Committee, he was also exposed to this case. According to the records in the yellow leather notebook, Mr. Jin had been looking for a breakthrough in this case between 2003 and 2005. Unfortunately, he failed to crack it in the end, which became one of his great regrets.
The reason why Zhao Yu took this major case as his first after taking office was because it has been 19 years since the last headless female corpse appeared!
Since 1998, there has been no similar case of a headless female corpse. In 19 years, the murderer has not committed another crime. People are worried that the cruel murderer is no longer alive!
As time goes by, if no clues are found, I am afraid that this real murderer will forever become a nightmare legend like the infamous Jack the Ripper!
Of course, the pressure on Zhao Yu to restart the case is also huge! Originally, Liaison Officer Chen Zhuo wanted Zhao Yu to try some more difficult unsolved cases first, and achieve some achievements first! However, Zhao Yu had already expressed his wishes in the application report, made his own targeted explanation of the case, and obtained approval from his superiors.
Besides, the reason why Zhao Yu applied to be a special adjuster was because of the big case in the yellow notebook.
Before this, he and Miao Ying had discussed the investigation ideas for the case of the headless female corpse many times, and they had already developed a strong interest in this case!
That's why he insisted on investigating the case first.
At first, Zhao Yu thought that his team members would raise objections, thinking that the case was too difficult and would affect their financial prospects.
However, after the tasks were assigned, none of the three team members objected, which was beyond Zhao Yu's expectation.
However, later he finally figured out that the reason why the three team members did not oppose him was not because they were confident in solving the case, but because they unanimously believed that Zhao Yu would not be able to solve the case if he had the director as his backer. case, he won’t be sent home!
In this way, the three team members with different personalities, coupled with the mysterious case of the headless female corpse, for Zhao Yu, the future is unknown. However, Zhao Yu's belief has never wavered. No matter what the final result is, he will definitely try his best!
When Zhao Yu drove the three team members to Jinbian City, he finally understood another thing. Why, everyone really wanted to be this special investigator!
Although he didn't hold much position, he was treated like a senior leader when he arrived there.
The Chief of Jinbian Police Station personally led his team to welcome him, and the scene was extremely grand! Not only was a sumptuous reception dinner prepared for them, but a local luxury hotel was also arranged for the four of them to rest.
In order to cooperate with the work of the special task force, the Jinbian police also acted vigorously and resolutely. On the next day, they set up a luxurious and well-equipped office for Zhao Yu and others in the police station building.
In addition, the chief director also called all the local leaders at all levels responsible for criminal investigation work and introduced them to Zhao Yu. He also said on the spot that whatever they could use, whether it was forensics, forensics, missing persons, or firearms management departments, they would definitely know it. At your disposal!
Zhao Yu and others used to be small policemen working on the front line, and no one had ever received such high standards of courtesy. They did not expect that the local police station would support their work so much, and they felt flattered.
Now that there are no worries, all we have to do is roll up our sleeves and get to work. In the afternoon of the next day, after all the preparations were in place, the work of the special task force officially began.
Facing a new office environment and new colleagues, Zhao Yu did not make any opening remarks to boost morale, but simply said two words - start work!
Since they were facing an old case, the first step for the four people was to sort out the information.
Although there is a professional touch screen analysis board in this temporary office. But Zhao Yu, who was used to filling in information by himself, still asked someone to find some old-fashioned whiteboards.
He feels that only information that he has personally handled can leave an impression in his heart.
However, the case of the headless female corpse is, after all, a major national case, and with the large number of victims, compiling the information will not be completed in a short time.
Moreover, since the six murder cases all occurred in different cities, it would be quite troublesome to actually investigate the case and need to constantly travel between these cities.
"Actually, the biggest difficulty in this case at the time was that the deceased could not be identified!" When adding information, Zhao Yu took the opportunity to express his previous thoughts and opinions to the team members, "The deceased's finger All the fingerprints on the body had been cut off by the murderer, and there was no head, so in that era of underdeveloped information, identifying the deceased became a big problem!"
"Indeed, it is difficult to launch an investigation if you don't know who the deceased is!" Ran Tao agreed.
"I remember that except for the deceased in Linfu City, the identities of the other victims have been finally determined, right?" Zeng Ke said while looking at the computer screen.
"That happened later!" Zhao Yu said, "At that time, because the body had not been claimed for a long time, the police could only follow the regulations, leave some evidence, and cremate the body! It was not until DNA technology became popularized that the police verified each one. The identity of the victim!"
"It's too late!" Ran Tao looked at the whiteboard and shook his head, "After so many years, even if we know who the deceased are, it's hard to find the details of their circumstances back then! This murderer... is very cunning... "
"Not only cunning, but also bold!" Zhao Yu pointed at the whiteboard and said, "Look, after finally confirming the identities of the deceased, the police were surprised to find that these deceased were not from the place where the incident occurred! They did not live there, nor were they there. Work there!
“This means that the murderer kidnapped them from another city to the scene of the incident!
"It may be that they kill first and then transport them, or it may be that they transport them first and then kill them!"
"That's amazing!" Ran Tao slapped his thigh, "This will make it even more difficult for the police to find the identity of the deceased! Who would have thought that the missing person would die in a foreign city that has nothing to do with her? This The murderer... I really want to find him out now and see who he is!"
