"You...know each other?"

Looking at the scene where Gu Chu and the female police officer from Kaiyang City looked at each other without speaking for a long time, Hua Ying asked cautiously.

"……do not know."

"I have long admired my name!"

The two said at the same time.

The person who said they didn't know each other was Gu Chu, because the two of them really didn't meet each other in real life.

It was Chu Ruonan who said he had admired his name for a long time.

"Before I came here, I had learned about Vice-Captain Gu's deeds in advance, and I have admired him for a long time."

Her explanation is very reasonable, after all, Kaiyang City must have known about the two police officers sent by Jin City in advance.

But all those who admire their Vice Team Gu are Hua Ying's friends. After listening to Chu Ruonan's words, Hua Ying looked at her with eager eyes. The colleagues in Kaiyang City are very discerning, and they know that their Vice Team is the best!

Due to Hua Ying's presence, Chu Ruonan and Gu Chu didn't communicate much. Along the way, Hua Ying and Chu Ruonan chatted more happily, as if they were good teammates who had gone through life and death.

Hua Ying wondered, how could she know her team leader just by looking at some files? She had to communicate with her colleagues in Kaiyang City, so that the discerning female colleague in front of her knew that her team leader was far better than the files. Those records on the Internet are braver and more witty, the reality version of female superheroes in contemporary Huaguo, but that's it.

Gu Chu has always been happy and angry, and he still can't bear to hear Hua Ying's bragging like this. Unfortunately, he didn't press Hua Ying down after several presses.

"See, our team Gu has another virtue, and that is humility."

Hua Ying even gave her another advantage because of her several times of blocking.

Just at the red light, Chu Ruonan had a smile in his eyes. Seeing Gu Chusheng's expressionless expression in the back seat through the rearview mirror, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

It may be the tense and serious atmosphere in the story of "One Hundred Thousand", or it may be that Gu Chuben is a relatively indifferent person, that is, the presence of Hua Ying, a living treasure, made Chu Ruonan see a completely different Gu Chu, a more fresh one. Live Gu Chu.

It seemed like she was what he wanted to see.

Thinking of something, the smile in Chu Ruonan's eyes faded a lot, adding a bit of indescribable melancholy.

It has been four full days since the dismembered female corpse was discovered. Kaiyang Market has put all its energy into it, and even asked for help from the brothers in neighboring cities to search for the identity of the female corpse.

When Chu Ruonan brought Gu Chu and Hua Ying to the city bureau, there happened to be a major breakthrough in the case.

It was already lunch time, but no one was in the mood to eat, let alone any formal welcome ceremony. Gu Chu and Hua Ying had just touched the ground of the city bureau when their feet were stuffed with a bag of biscuits and a bottle The water was then pulled into the meeting room.

At this time, the elite team in charge of the rainy night butcher case was sitting in the conference room. Because of their special identities, Gu Chu and Hua Ying were representatives sent by Jin City to cooperate in solving the case, so they were arranged to sit in the first row.

"I contacted the Jin City police as soon as I found the mutilated body. These two police officers were sent by the Jin City Bureau to assist in the investigation. For a period of time after that, we were all colleagues, and there were opportunities to get to know each other. Without wasting time, let’s talk about a major clue we discovered just this morning.”

Standing at the top was a middle-aged man with a square face. His expression was serious, with deep nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose, and he looked a little cold and fierce.

This is Pang Rongsheng, the leader of the elite team of the Rainy Night Butcher case, and also the leader of the Jin City Criminal Brigade at that time, who was punished with a major demerit for failing to solve the case.

It is said that this man's wife is a very important person. At that time, Kaiyang City promised a very good condition, hoping to get his wife to work in an organization that is not open to the public in Kaiyang City. His wife was still there. He hesitated, but because of such an incident, his wife agreed to the request of the Kaiyang City Government, but put forward another condition, that is, to transfer him to Kaiyang City.

But being able to still take the position of director of the Kaiyang Municipal Bureau even though he has been recorded as a serious demerit, it is definitely not just because of his wife's relationship.

Pang Rongsheng is not young, but he still insists on being on the front line of handling cases, and survived several times. This alone is enough to be admired.

Behind him was a whiteboard, on which all the clues he had obtained from the first corpse case in Jin City were densely written, and countless photos were also pressed on the whiteboard by magnets.

Pang Rongsheng's eyeballs were bloodshot, and his lips were chapped and peeled. It can be seen that he didn't get enough rest these days.

That's right, this unsolved case was probably the worst nightmare in the minds of most of the police officers in Jin City at that time.

"Two days ago, we had received some dusty evidence from Jin City, including some body samples of three mutilated corpses."

Although the case was not solved that year, the evidence at that time was preserved with the dust of the case, and the three unclaimed corpses were all unclaimed. Therefore, until now, these three dismembered corpses are still preserved in Jin City's largest corpse.Inside the crematorium refrigerator.

It may be because at that time all the police believed that sooner or later they would find the murderer through these evidences.

To find the murderer, find the remaining limbs, and cremate these victims at that time, this is Teacher Gu Chu's greatest wish.

"Here, we must affirm the carefulness and hard work of the colleagues in the laboratory department. They compared the mutilated corpse found in Kaizhong Science and Technology Park not long ago with several victim samples sent from Jin City on a whim, and found that Kaizhong The DNA of the victim in Yangshi matches the DNA of the first victim in Jinshi that year, and the medical probability of the relationship between the two is as high as 99.99%.

Hearing this, Gu Chu's pupils shrank instantly.

In other words, the fourth victim was the biological mother of the first victim in Jin City that year!

It is no wonder that Pang Rongsheng commended his colleagues in the Laboratory Department for others, because under normal circumstances, few people would think of comparing the victims more than 20 years later with the victims more than 20 years ago.

Because no DNA residue of the second person was found on these corpses, and in more than 20 years of identification, the three victims have also been confirmed to have no blood relationship.

The laboratory technician's whimsical verification brought great progress in solving the case.

At least now, it is basically certain that even if the two murder cases in Kaiyang City and Jin City were not the same murderer, there must be a connection between the murderer and the murderer.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that after more than twenty years, it was the biological mother of the first victim who died again.

Moreover, in the serial murder case more than 20 years ago, the first deceased had many particularities.

Now as long as the identity of the fourth deceased is found, then the identity of the first victim of the year can be determined at the same time.

The elites present obviously agreed with Gu Chu, and the police officers who were exhausted from four days of almost non-stop work cheered up instantly.

"It turned out to be the biological mother and daughter. Does this prove that the murderer did not commit the crime randomly, at least not when choosing the mother and daughter. In this way, the murderer is very likely to be an acquaintance of the mother and daughter."

"Have you found any clues about the identity of the old lady?"

The conference room was buzzing with all sorts of discussions about this major breakthrough.

"I think there's a place that's weird."

Among the crowd, a middle-aged policeman raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.

Pang Rongsheng motioned for the others to keep quiet, and then let him speak.

"The time difference between the deaths of this pair of mother and daughter is more than 20 years."

Because the death time of the first dead body cannot be judged so far, the time difference can only be replaced by more than 20 years in general.

"Don't you think it's strange? If there was hatred between the mother and daughter, then they should have been killed together at the beginning. Even if it was inconvenient to attack both of them at the same time, the interval should not be so long."

Judging from years of experience in handling cases, there must be a problem here.

"I feel... the murderer's intention to kill the fourth deceased just appeared..."

It was an indescribable intuition, so after the last sentence, the man himself felt that his guess was a little untenable, and sat down again with a shy expression.

Did he say nonsense?

The fourth deceased has just died, and the killing intent has just appeared not long ago. Could it be possible to endure the killing intent for more than 20 years? Is this possible for a serial killer who has already killed three or more in a row?

"possible!"

As soon as the male police officer sat down, Gu Chu spoke immediately.

Her tone was much more certain than that of the other party. In fact, after learning that the first victim and the fourth victim just discovered were mother and daughter, Gu Chu had a similar guess to him.

"The killing intent should have just appeared."

Gu Chu looked at Pang Rongsheng on the stage and expressed his guess.

"He may have had reasons for having to kill the fourth victim, like...she knew the killer's identity!"

As soon as these words came out, the meeting room fell silent.

This is the first time that Pang Rongsheng has faced the young vice-captain in front of him since they met.

After learning the connection between the fourth deceased and the first deceased, Pang Rongsheng's years of experience in handling cases also led him to the same conclusion as Gu Chu.

After a lapse of more than 20 years, the murder was committed, and the identity of the other party was so special, so it was most likely that he had to kill for some reason.

But now everything is just based on speculative assumptions.

The top priority is to find the true identity of the fourth deceased, she will be the breakthrough of the whole case.

Good things come in pairs. In the afternoon of the same day, news came from the police officers who were sent out to investigate the platoon.

I found the identity of the corpse that appeared in the trash can of Kaizhong Science and Technology Park four days ago.

Liu Hongmei, female, 69 years old, a cleaner in Kaizhong Science and Technology Park, a native of Kaiyang City, now lives in the staff dormitory of the Science and Technology Park. According to colleagues' responses, the other party has not been at work for five days and cannot be reached by phone calls.

All of Liu Hongmei's data are consistent with the victim's.

According to the investigation, Liu Hongmei had a son, and the other party only showed up when he asked her for money. All colleagues said that they did not know that Liu Hongmei had a daughter.

Gu Chu and Hua Ying were both sitting on the way to Kaizhong Science and Technology Park, and they also read the first-hand information from the front line.

No daughter?

There are more and more puzzles.
