shocked the world - Chapter 36
“You showed me the photos because you wanted me to help you see if there was any connection between the victims.”
Chen Yu said slowly, “So, I gave you your answer.”
“You’ve told me the answer?”
Li Changjun was stunned.
What kind of answer was “deserved to die”?
“These people have all lost their morals.”
Chen Yu reminded Li Changjun.
“After we discovered these victims, I immediately started investigating.”
“Other than the first victim, who has done his fair share of crimes, the remaining victims are all people of the same status.”
“Whether at work or in life, their reputations are all quite good.”
The Criminal Investigation Division’s basic steps included investigating the victim’s social connections, professional background, enemies, debts, and other information.
“Due to the tight schedule, the heavy workload, and the limited manpower, you only went through their information over the past few years, right?” Chen Yu asked unhurriedly.
“You should extend the timeline a little further back.”
“For example, find out what they did ten years ago.”
“I understand!”
Li Changjun quickly made a call.
“Vice-Captain Wang, begin investigating information about the deceased from ten years ago immediately.”
“Focus on investigating what crimes they have committed.”
“Check everything, even what they have done in school.”
“Check their phone, computer, emails, and chat records.”
“I’ll call to coordinate and request the Household Registration Bureau and Internet Security Bureau to assist with the investigation.”
As soon as the call went through, Li Changjun quickly issued a series of orders.
“There will be news in an hour. You can go and eat something first.”
Chen Yu took out his phone and began playing a minigame.
Knowing there would be news in an hour, Li Changjun was not in the mood to eat.
Chen Yu leisurely played with his phone while Li Changjun waited anxiously.
“Ring… ring…”
Li Changjun’s phone rang, and he answered the call at lightning speed.
“What? Oh my supreme-ruler…”
“How dare he! Alright, I know.”
“Write it down immediately. I want to see it when I get back.”
Li Changjun hung up the phone, his eyes fixed on Chen Yu with the zeal of a true believer.
Chen Yu’s predictions were too supreme-rulerly!
His prediction of this call arriving one hour later was spot on.
Moreover, the report given by his deputy matched Chen Yu’s words perfectly.
None of the four victims were innocent.
“So, you’ve found the similarity.”
Chen Yu smiled as he said this.
“We found it, Dr. Chen. You’re absolutely right!”
Li Changjun was so ecstatic that he didn’t know what else to say and could only express his admiration with a thumbs up.
Chen Yu waved his hand and smiled calmly.
“Now, you don’t mind my cryptic words?”
Hearing this, Li Changjun’s face turned red.
He wished he could find a hole to hide in at that moment.
“Dr. Chen, don’t embarrass me. I was blind.”
Following Chen Yu’s reminder, the Criminal Investigation Division shifted its focus many years ago.
It gave them a great harvest.
None of the four victims were innocent.
Ten years ago, private loans were all the rage.
The first victim was secretly running a naked loan at his school.
After a preliminary investigation, it was found that he led dozens of girls astray.
Three of them chose suicide because they did not want to live after having their nudes exposed.
Following that, illegal private loans were severely prosecuted, and he withdrew from the business.
He ordered the insiders to shut up with his pure black heart.
The second victim in this serial murder case was a female secretary.
She was always fanning the flames and spreading rumors, from high school to university.
When she saw a girl who was prettier than her, she immediately began spreading false rumors on campus and online.
She was basically Snow White’s stepmother and a female keyboard warrior combined.
At least eight female students had been ruined by her, all suffering from different degrees of mental illness.
As for the homeless man…
He deserved to be cut into pieces.
After a facial comparison, it was found that he was a slave coal mine owner who had been on the run for many years.
He had caused the deaths of more than ten miners.
The fourth victim was the owner of a construction company.
At the beginning of his business, he would always resort to forceful demolition in order to earn more and spend less.
It always left the relocated residents homeless, and he was also once responsible for the death of a family of three due to forceful demolition.
Only after he got rich did he hide these unbearable misdeeds tightly.
If it weren’t for the help of the Internet Security Bureau and the Household Registration Bureau, he would never be able to find these details.
While the dirty things and various crimes these people committed would not have resulted in them being sentenced to death by the law, to anyone with a conscience, these people had committed heinous crimes.
“Dr. Chen, where is the murderer hiding now?”
Even so, the murderer still had to be caught.
“I’m not God. How would I know the murderer’s location?”
Chen Yu shrugged.
“Dr. Chen, I’ll pay another 10,000 yuan for my treatment.”
Thinking Chen Yu wanted more money, Li Changjun prepared to scan the QR code.
“This has nothing to do with money. I don’t know the location of the murderer, but…”
Chen Yu dragged out his tone.
The netizens would have been in an uproar if they were on a livestream.
Those familiar with Chen Yu all knew that once he started dragging out his tone…
It was definitely time for a big scroop.
“But what?”
Li Changjun asked urgently.
“But I can try to use some knowledge of criminal psychology to help you analyze his location.”
“Alright, alright. Thank you, Dr. Chen.”
Li Changjun looked excited because he would be able to catch the murderer soon.
“This person is 35 years old, male, 1.78 meters tall, and weighs 152 pounds.”
“He’s a hired thug at a club.”
“He lives in the Laocheng District’s Ping An Street No. 5 courtyard, the first room on the left.”
“At this time, he should be sleeping at home.”
“He will be out of bed in another hour and a half,” Chen Yu said after pausing momentarily.
This was criminal psychology?
Li Changjun retorted silently.
After all, he was the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division, with years of experience interrogating criminals.
Still, Chen Yu lied without blinking in front of a professional like him.
Brother, you might as well tell me what color pajamas the murderer was wearing.
“By the way, the murderer doesn’t wear pajamas and sleeps naked.”
Chen Yu added.
“Clang…”
Li Changjun fell from his chair.
After getting up, Li Changjun awkwardly patted the dust off his body.
Fortunately, he wasn’t in the middle of drinking a cup of water.
He would have choked to death otherwise.
“Dr. Chen, I’ll be leaving first. See you later.”
Despite his retort, he had no choice but to go over and arrest the murderer immediately.
Chen Yu had made it clear that the murderer would wake up in an hour and a half.
If he left, it would be troublesome if he continued to commit crimes.
Although the murderer targeted evildoers, forgiving him was still hard.
No matter how righteous his reason, murder was still wrong.
“Wait a minute.”
Chen Yu walked to the door and called out to Li Changjun.
“What’s wrong?”
Li Changjun turned around and asked.
“Black Cat Sheriff.”
“Oh, oh, oh.”
Li Changjun understood and immediately slapped the Black Cat Sheriff Sticker on his chest.
“That person is not simple. Tell your colleagues to be careful.”
After saying this, Chen Yu turned around and returned to his shop.
“If you want to buy more cigarettes, go to a hypermarket.”
“Don’t go to the supermarket in your neighborhood just because it’s convenient, and don’t buy it at the small grocery store near the police station.”
“These places are no longer safe.”
As soon as he said that, Li Changjun almost fell and staggered.
