Even in the age of peace, there will still be a large number of unresolved cases every year.
Like Dongcheng’s "Rainy Night Murder", one of the more well-known Internet celebrities is unsuccessful.
The Dongcheng economy started Pengfei twenty years ago. The housing prices at that time were not as astronomical as they are now, and the criminal investigation technology is naturally not as good as it is now. The first murder occurred in the Southern District. A beggar was found dead on the road.
His throat and trachea were cut with a knife, and the little finger of his left hand was cut and taken away.
The heavy rain that happened that night, and the fact that the beggar had no relatives around him, there was no evidence around him and no one was able to check his social relations, so the case was put on hold.
The police thought this was just one case after another, but did not think that seven similar murders occurred one after another.
All the deceased had their throats cut and their little thumbs removed.
This same and cruel modus operandi was obviously done by one person, because the murderer always commits crimes on rainy nights, so the outside world gave him the name "Rainy Night Murderer".
The occupations of the deceased were different, and there was no connection between them.
The only thing in common is that their economic conditions and social status are at the bottom, and their lives are tight and difficult.
The prisoner is cunning enough to avoid surveillance every time he commits a crime. After investigating so many cases, only a little DNA and half a footprint were found.
The profile given by the criminal psychologist is that this man is a middle-aged man between 35 and 40 years old, with relatively good living conditions and owning a car. In normal life, his personality is relatively strong, but people around him should have a good opinion of him.
After the eighth homicide, almost the whole country was discussing this appalling serial homicide.
The police were investigating under tremendous pressure. After the eighth murder case, several suspects were arrested and returned for investigation, but they were all released due to insufficient evidence.
At that time, there was a lot of news about this murderer.
Every rainy night, everyone would be afraid, and would rather ask for leave at home than go out to take risks, for fear that they would become the next target of the murderer.
Even the police are waiting for the ninth murder case every rainy night.
It's strange to say that since the eighth case thirteen years ago, the rainy night murderer has never appeared again like it disappeared out of thin air.
As time passed, the case slowly faded out of public view.
Except for those policemen who were trying to find out the truth, they have not given up, others have long been busy with their lives and left this case behind.
Suddenly a similar homicide occurred on West Street, and the case that had been in the dust for a long time returned to the public eye again.
Nowadays, the Internet is spread in all directions, and netizens have been talking about it after the incident. I felt scared for a while, and questioned the efficiency of the police for a while.
There is also the media paying attention to the victims themselves, thinking to see if they can dig out useful information from the deceased.
Since the beginning of summer, Zhao Hongxia will come out to set up stalls every night. In addition, she is a gentle personality, and many people know that her life is not easy.
She works in a commercial center where young white-collar workers work. Everyone had a good impression of the company’s cleaning aunt, and found out that she was killed after she didn’t come to work. Many people felt sad and depressed to post —
[@一轮明月天上飞: I just heard about the murder of our company's cleaning aunt, I was shocked, sad, and hated the murderer. Aunt Zhao is really a very gentle person. I know her family is very difficult. She has to get off work hard to set up a stall to help her child with surgery. I can see her smile as soon as I close my eyes, and it makes me sad to think about it. 】
As the ninth victim in everyone's eyes, Zhao Hongxia is naturally very talkative.
Regardless of whether they knew or didn't know each other before, many people are discussing about the victim.
The media acted faster than netizens, and it took only a short time to get a clear picture of Zhao Hongxia's family.
Nuanyang Daily is a veteran media in Dongcheng, and it usually pays attention to various people's livelihoods and social facts. Soon after the murder, they went to Zhao Hongxia's house to do a special topic, and soon, Zhao Hongxia's family was on the hot search.
Through the video released by Nuanyang Daily, netizens can get to know this person more intuitively.
Neighbors commented on her very well, and so did the employees of the company. Everyone said that she was a docile and tough woman.
It was also through the video that everyone knew that there was a child in her family who was waiting for surgery.
The two husbands and wives have no literacy, so they sit in the dirtiest and most tiring jobs in Dongcheng. If it wasn't for the children to burn money when they were sick, their lives could have been easier.
Seeing this kind of family situation, everyone originally felt that the victim was miserable. When they learned that the child was not her own but tried to treat the illness, everyone's anger and sadness reached the extreme.
Ten years ago, Zhao Hongxia went out and found an abandoned baby. She was sent to the hospital to find that the child was born with a serious illness. If she wants to survive, she has to spend money to support her. I want to come to the child's biological parents because of this abandonment of the child.
Zhao Hongxia felt soft, looked at the poor child, and hesitated to adopt the child for a long time.
She is too kind, so even children who are not related by blood will be raised patiently with them.
People in their early forties have wrinkles on their faces because of overwork, and they look much older than they actually are.
Her face is old, but her heart is extremely hot.
Such a good person was murdered on a rainy night. The more people watched, the more depressed they became. They couldn't help condemning the "Rainy Night Murderer" on the Internet.
[@对你心动点点: I thought the murderer's methods of committing the crime were terrifying, but I was really outraged and sad to see Aunt Zhao's situation. Such a good person, such a sunny person, was deprived of his life because of the murderer's brutality, which is really irritating. I hope comrade police can give me some strength and quickly catch this crazy guy]
The Internet is filled with indignation, and everyone is clamoring for the murderer to be brought to justice.
On the other hand, the police are facing great pressure, but they also sighed and wanted to catch the murderer quickly. Although it is still uncertain whether a serial murderer appeared, the murderer's brutality is undoubtedly challenging the law.
For a while, everyone's focus was on this murder case, and even the crew of Ji Xiunian was discussing it.
"Could it be revenge? You can't kill whoever you meet, right?"
"Let me say that this murderer can't die well, it's too bad, it's really too bad. What can Ms. Zhao and her family do..."
"My child is also poor, so let's donate some money together. What can help a little is a little..."
…
During the break, Ji Xiunian took a mobile phone to read Weibo, and naturally saw Zhao Hongxia related.
The victim's information and personal relationships are flying all over the world, but everyone still knows nothing about the murderer.
Someone has even said that he was murdered by evil spirits, so they could not catch him all the time.
Ji Xiunian didn't realize that yesterday, the person was in front of him, but he still let him escape, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Jiayue asked curiously when he came to the side of Ji Xiunian.
The two played more against each other, and naturally they communicated more than others.
In Zhou Jiayue's opinion, Ji Xiunian is a little mysterious, and he always feels that he is different from others, but he can't tell the difference.
Ji Xiunian glanced at the Zhou family more and more, and the other party inevitably sighed: "I paid attention to this case back then. Some survivors said that the murderer had abnormal wrists, so it was said that evil spirits came to kill..."
"wrist?"
Ji Xiunian became interested when he heard these two words, and hurriedly asked: "Why look at the wrist and say that it is not a person? Is there anything special?"
Zhou Jiayue thought Ji Xiunian was a curious thing, but didn't think much about it, but just replied: "Just say that there is a black light on the wrist, and that the person's wrist is black and it feels like it will rot... The main reason is that it is too long, I I don’t know if I remember it right."
So, was there a mark on the murderer's wrist back then
Ji Xiunian's right hand touched his left wrist unconsciously. He always felt that these murders were bizarre and might have something to do with him.
"Sorry, let me make a call first." Ji Xiunian wanted to tell Lu Xu about the incident when he got up, and he didn't forget to say hello to Zhou Jiayue politely.
"Go." It wasn't until Ji Xiunian left that Zhou Jiayue suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong—
It wasn't long before Yan Heze was born twenty years ago. How could he be concerned about the murder at that time.
Fortunately, Ji Xiunian's attention was focused on the case, as if he hadn't noticed this.
"Fortunately, fortunately." Zhou Jiayue rejoiced while admonishing himself to pay attention to what he said in the future.
"You mean, that mark on the wrist of the murderer 20 years ago?" After listening to Ji Xiunian's words, Lu Xu fell into deep thought, keenly feeling that this matter seemed not that simple.
"Brother Nian, take a good look at the film first. I'll investigate this matter."
If it's just an ordinary homicide, then it really has nothing to do with them.
But when Ji Xiunian was involved, Lu Xu couldn't help but care.
He was going to follow his teammates to the restaurant just after the rehearsal. After receiving a call from Ji Xiunian, he immediately said sorry to his teammates: "If you feel sick, go to the bathroom, you guys eat first!"
Before his teammates said anything, he turned around and rushed into the toilet cubicle.
Lu Xu's plan was clear, and he went directly to the prefecture to find someone. It is not difficult for them to investigate the murder, after all, the deceased is the first witness to the murder.
In addition, there were nine victims including Zhao Hongxia. Except for the two who were so lucky to have reincarnation, the other seven were called to Lu Xu to cooperate in the investigation.
Except for Zhao Hongxia, the other victims have passed away for more than ten years. But even though ten or twenty years have passed, the scenes of the murder have been played repeatedly in their minds. The murderers have not been punished by law for a day, and they have no peace for a day, and the pain in their hearts is always there.
"I don't know that person, I remember he cut my neck, it hurts so much..."
"He killed me and said to help me, just say that it's too exhausting to live..."
"When he killed me, he always said that he helped me get rid of him. I really hate him. As a result, he is still at large."
…
The seven victims all heard the murderer say that the murder was helping them. When Lu Xu asked about the characteristics of the murderer, they all raised their wrists for the first time—
"The wrist is black, as if it is about to rot..."
"Yes, yes, the wrists are really scary, just like there are ghosts living in them."
"I also noticed, I really felt hell at the time..."
An archivist happened to pass by. Hearing what they said, he couldn't help but stepped forward, and said weakly: "It seems that the wrists of other murderers are also marked..."
Originally, Lu Xu only wanted to find out the characteristics of Yuye Murderer, but when he thought of pulling out the radish to bring out the mud, he accidentally discovered other things.
Except for the Rainy Night Murderer, other murderers also have black marks on their wrists.
The archivist thought it was a coincidence and didn't think much about it, but so many victims mentioned the black wrist marks, which is definitely not simple.
Thinking of Ji Xiunian, Lu Xu became serious.
Although I don't know the specific situation of this incident, but intuition and Ji Xiunian will also be involved.
After thinking about it, Lu Xu decided to investigate the murderer of Zhao Hongxia first.
