Gu Chu chose to resign.

In the beginning, the reason why she was unwilling to leave her job was firstly because of the housing loan, and secondly because of her status as the deputy captain of the City Bureau’s Criminal Special Squad. Confidential information that cannot be found.

Just judging from the current situation, this job also has many restrictions.

You must know that the police officers of the criminal special brigade are the jobs that have the most exposure to local homicides. As the deputy captain, Gu Chu has to deal with criminals almost every day, and often comes into contact with the dead.

If the reason for triggering the ghosts in real life is the reader's contact with them, then Gu Chu's long-term stay in the criminal squad may lead to the birth of more ghosts.

If the victim turns into a ghost, the resentment must be hard to dissipate. If the criminal turns into a ghost, it will be more evil, cholera, and Gu Chu can't guarantee that those things will not hurt those teammates in the bureau. It was criminals who turned into ghosts, and the first person who wanted revenge must be the police who arrested them.

Gu Chu has few friends in real life, and most of them are in the police force. She can't put them in danger for her own convenience.

Gu Chu has already decided to sell the current house after resigning, and rent a house with a yard in the suburbs of a sparsely populated city after paying off the remaining loan, away from the crowds. Wan San also thinks the same way. The purpose of coming here is to discuss with Gu Chu, and it is best to rent closer, so that we can support each other in case of emergencies, after all, the two of them know the basics.

"Little Gu, do you still have any objections to the way the bureau handled it before? You can't resign with emotions. It's not easy for you to get to where you are today."

The leader is not willing to accept Gu Chu's resignation application.

The resignation procedure within the system is rather troublesome. Fortunately, Gu Chu has no case that needs to be kept secret, and the minimum service period has been fulfilled. Otherwise, she might not be able to leave easily. Next, Gu Chu could only wait slowly.

According to the current policy, if there is still no solution after three months, she will automatically resign.

The leader took a sip of tea, thinking that Gu Chu was just having a petty mood. After all, although she had failed in the competition for the position of captain, as the deputy captain of the special criminal squad of the city bureau, it was already something that many people would not necessarily be able to get after half a lifetime of hard work. The grades, these are all earned by Gu Chu through hard work, almost killed her several times, is she really willing to give up these honors?

Besides, Chen Bangchuan will retire within a few years. By then, this position will not be reserved for her. She is so young and has climbed fast these years. Many colleagues have already expressed their opinions. Isn't it more logical to be promoted again and again?

The leader still didn't want to give up on Gu Chu, a practical person, but he had already left the impression that she was ignorant and had a petty temper.

But leader Ren said whatever he wanted, and Gu Chu was very determined to resign.

In the end, the leader had no choice but to ask her to go back and wait for the notice, planning to delay it slowly, in case Gu Chu changed his mind, anyway, there were still three months left.

Leader Gu Chu refused to let him go, so he could only go back to the office to work first, and then find another way.

Not long after Gu Chu returned to the office, Chen Bangchuan was called by the leader to have a conversation. When he came back, Chen Bangchuan's face was a little ugly, and he secretly stared at Gu Chu.

Gu Chu could roughly guess what the leader had said to him.

It was nothing more than asking him if he gave her small shoes to wear when he was working, which made her so angry, or asking him to comfort himself in these three months and try to dispel her idea of ​​leaving the job.

However, Gu Chu knew a little about Chen Bangchuan, and the leader would probably return in vain if he talked to him, which would only arouse his hostility towards Gu Chu.

Sure enough, it may not be your friends who know you best, but your enemies.

At this moment, Chen Bangchuan was really angry. He compared his heart with his heart. He didn't feel that Gu Chu was willing to give up her current position. She was already a cadre of the city bureau at such a young age. you. Once you resign and start from scratch in another industry, who can bear this kind of gap.

He felt that Gu Chu was a blatant threat. She still remembered that she had robbed her of the captain's position. This kind of subordinate, no matter how capable he was, would be rebellious. He couldn't use it for him.

Thinking of the leader's criticism just now, Chen Bangchuan gritted his teeth with hatred. Didn't Gu Chu pretend to leave? Well, he forced her to get out of the special criminal squad in despair.

So that day, Gu Chu was assigned a very tricky case, and Hua Ying, who had the best relationship with her in the same group, was also involved.

"Rainy Night Butcher!"

Looking at the file in his hand, Hua Ying couldn't help but exclaimed.

This title may have been heard by more than half of the people in China. Xiangjiang in the 1980s once caused a huge social panic because of this character.

However, the rainy night butcher in Xiangjiang had been arrested and brought to justice as early as that year, but few people knew that there was also a murderer who committed crimes on rainy days in Jin City, and this case has not yet been solved.

The earliest rainy night butcher case occurred in August 1994. It happened to be heavy rain the day before. After reporting the case, the police found several bags of decomposed corpses in the trash can at the entrance of the Red Army Supermarket in Xiashagang.

This is a female victim. One arm, two soles of her feet and her severed breast were found at the scene. At that time, many police forces were dispatched to search the city, but her head and body have not been found so far.

Due to the lack of identifiable information, the police at that time could only conduct investigations through the recent missing persons, but after comparison, the ages of all the missing women they had could not be determined with the body of the found woman after examination. The bone age matches.

That is to say, either the family members of the deceased have not yet reported to the police, or the victim is a foreigner who has not yet been registered. , Finding the true identity of the victim is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and it also increases the difficulty of cracking the case.

The worst thing is that after the forensic autopsy, it was determined that the female body had been frozen for a long time after death, so that the specific time of death of the female body cannot be judged, and the age of finding the missing person may be pushed forward by a few months. It may also be pushed forward a few years, and the most powerful police at that time were also helpless with this case.

In the third month that this case could not be solved, another corpse case occurred. This case also happened in Jin City, but it was located in Daidong County next to Xiashagang.

The first person who found the body was an old man who scavenged waste. When he came out to pick up plastic bottles and paper shells when the rain stopped, he found several black plastic bags in the trash can at the entrance of a certain restaurant. A garbage bag was opened, and human limbs were found inside. The old man was frightened immediately. It was the diners in the restaurant who heard the old man's screams and ran out, and then called the police.

The dismembered corpse found this time was the woman's scalp with hair, two arms and a pile of shaved bones. After forensic stitching, it was a complete female corpse except for the missing head. The skin and flesh that came down were the same as the last broken corpse, and they were still not found.

Because of the particularity of the place where the body was found, the police even checked all the meat sold in that restaurant. Although it was finally confirmed that the meat sold in the restaurant was ordinary edible livestock meat, after the news spread, the city at that time People are still in panic, and meat stalls and restaurants have difficulty selling meat for a period of time.

Many people think that the removed meat may be mixed with edible meat as shown in the movie, and sold as food to ordinary diners.

The two cases have many things in common, such as the fact that the victims were both women, it rained the night before the bodies were found, and the body remains were wrapped in the same black plastic bag.

It's just that the black plastic bag is too common to use as a clue to find it.

But again, there are some differences between the two cases.

For example, the death time of the second female corpse found can be clearly determined to be within two days. The corpse was in a state of natural decay, while the first female corpse had been refrigerated for a long time. According to the conditions at that time, it was impossible to judge the death time of the female corpse.

Similarly, the police in Jin City still haven't found a woman who matches the victim among the missing persons in the city.

At that time, the street tabloids were criticizing the police for their ineffective handling of the case, and the whole city was panicked. Many women were afraid to go out on rainy nights because there were too few clues and the case did not progress.

Another month later, the third corpse dumping case occurred. Also on the second day after the rain, a group of elderly people doing morning exercises found several black plastic bags in the grass of Fenghua. It is already a household name, so those old people dare not open those black plastic bags that appear strangely in the haystack, and just call the police at the first time.

When the police arrived and opened it, there was another pile of dismembered corpses inside.

This time, in addition to a newly discovered female corpse, there were a few more repeated body parts, but again, this female corpse did not have a head.

After DNA comparison, those repeated body parts belonged to the first female corpse.

Compared with the previous two cases, the third corpse dismemberment case had one more clue, that is, someone saw a figure in a raincoat appearing near the park carrying a few bags the night before.

Because it was a rainy day, the witnesses couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but judging from the other person's size and height, it was very likely that he was a man.

At that time, there were no cameras installed in many places, and there were no special patterns and characters on the raincoat, so this clue did not provide any help in solving the case in the end.

Three women died in a row, still with such a cruel method of killing, but the case did not make any progress. The situation in Jin City was turbulent, and women were all in danger. During that time, almost all women went out in groups, and they must be picked up by their families when they work night shift. Just when many people thought that the rainy night butcher would commit another crime, he disappeared.

At that time, the criminal special captain who was in charge of this case was recorded as a major demerit once, and other personnel were also punished to varying degrees, but this case was sealed up and became an unsolved case.

"Two days ago, a dismemberment case occurred in Kaiyang City, Guangdong Province. It rained heavily the night before the dismembered corpse was found. The remains of the corpse found at the scene also lacked a head that could help identify the identity. The female corpse had her breasts and limbs cut off, and the cut body was wrapped in a black plastic bag. The modus operandi is very similar to the butcher case on a rainy night in our city more than ten years ago."

Chen Bangchuan looked at Gu Chu. Isn't she known as the killer of evil? He didn't believe that Gu Chu could solve the unsolved case more than ten years ago.

"The current director of Kaiyang City is the captain of the criminal special police who was demerited in our city because he did not solve the case. After being demerited, he was transferred to Kaiyang City because of his wife's work., he remembered this unsolved case in our Jin City, which was his heart disease, so this time, he specially contacted our Jin City Public Security, hoping that the two places can jointly investigate."

As long as it can be confirmed that it is not an imitation crime, as long as the murderer of the dismemberment case in Kaiyang City is found, the unsolved case of that year can also be solved. Therefore, the director of the Kaiyang City Public Security Bureau hopes that Jin City can send a few criminal policemen to bring the old files. , to assist in the investigation.

Kaiyang City and Jin City are far apart, except for the director who was transferred more than ten years ago, there is almost no contact between the two polices. Chen Bangchuan feels that Gu Chu has passed, and he can't find any help, and he may even be excluded.

Don't think that they are all Wei Guangzheng in this system. Everyone wants to save face. If your local case is solved by a policeman from out of town, the brothers will laugh at you for being incompetent.

Chen Bangchuan wanted to see Gu Chu deflated, and once the news got out, the people who had experienced the panic of the rainy night butcher case would definitely pay attention to this case.

How much pressure they put on the police station back then, how much pressure Gu Chu will bear now.

When the case is solved, it will be the credit of the Kaiyang City police. If the case is not solved, Jin City will definitely put the blame on Gu Chu. At that time, she had to leave in despair if she didn't want to.

Gu Chu knew that Chen Bangchuan was digging a hole for her, but she really couldn't refuse this case.

Chen Bangchuan may not know that the mentor who brought Gu Chu back then was also a member of the elite team specially organized to solve the case of the rainy night butcher. It may be because the murderer's killing method was extremely cruel. Her teacher has been guilty of not being able to find the murderer. If the monsters are alive, they will definitely be unable to control and commit another crime. If they find the murderer one day later, one more victim may die.

For more than ten years after that, her teacher also wanted to re-investigate this unsolved case, but because the social influence of this case was too great, his application was never approved.

Until the teacher died of illness last year, this case was still an unsolved case.

Now the rainy night butcher really committed another crime as the teacher said, but during this period, can it be guaranteed that he did not commit a crime, but that he was not taken seriously by the local police, or that he did not speculate on the serial murders in Jin City that year?

Gu Chu felt that if he could solve this unsolved case and find the murderer who killed women, it would be a perfect end to his police career.
