Chapter 236: Guo Junshan discovers a connection between the murders and files a joint case
At the end of May, there was a heavy rain in Beijing.
The surging river washed out the female corpse hidden at the bottom of the river. This was the third homicide case that had occurred recently. The criminal police team was under unprecedented pressure.
In order to solve the case as soon as possible, Guo Junshan has not slept for a day and a night.
He sat at his desk, carefully comparing the details of the three murders. His brain was working rapidly, and the moment the inspiration flashed, he grasped the idea.
"National Day, go call my master! I have a major discovery!"
Zhao Guoqing fell off the chair, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and ran out crawling.
Zheng Guangming ran here. Three murders happened in such a short period of time, and he was under a lot of pressure.
"Tell me what you've discovered!"
Guo Junshan rubbed his dry eyes, picked up a pen, pointed at the photos on the table and said, "Master, come and look at the wounds of these victims.
Here, here, and here... These wounds are extremely similar, no matter the angle of incision or the size of the wound.
"Master, the formation of the wound is directly related to the force of the knife, the tool used, and the knife-cutting habits. Therefore, I suspect that the murderer of these three murders is the same person!"
Guo Junshan looked at Zheng Guangming with burning eyes and said expectantly, "I suggest that we apply to our superiors to merge the cases and conduct new autopsies on the three victims.
Then we can investigate their identities, backgrounds, and activities. As long as we find any overlap, we can dig deeper."
"But the methods of disposing of the bodies are different!" Zheng Guangming frowned and said, "This victim was dismembered, this one was tied to a rock and sunk into the river, and this one died in his own home."
Guo Junshan looked at Zheng Guangming with pleading eyes and said, “The disposal method of the body is different. It is very likely that the murderer was interfered with by the outside world and had no choice but to do this.
Master, please believe me once! A person's habits are difficult to change. The highly similar scars on the three bodies can't be a coincidence!
Three homicides occurred in succession, and the victims were all young women. As the captain of the criminal police team, Zheng Guangming was under immense pressure.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll go apply."
Everyone exclaimed: "Oh——"
The first case Guo Junshan received was a dismembered body in a park. The case had been under investigation for a long time, but there had been little progress.
To date, Guo Junshan and his team have searched everywhere and have only found the victim's torso. They only know that the victim is a tall and thin female.
The police station's missing persons list didn't include anyone who matched the victim's physical description. The case had reached a dead end.
But Guo Junshan's discovery brought them new hope. By combining the investigation with the other two cases, they might soon find new clues.
"Don't shout!" Zheng Guangming said disdainfully, "What's there to shout about?"
After saying that, he patted Guo Junshan on the shoulder and said with concern: "You should get some sleep quickly. Solving the case is important, but your health is also important."
"Well, I'm going home to get some sleep." Guo Junshan had already reached his limit. He yawned and said, "Guo Tian, please keep an eye on it for me for a while! If there's anything urgent, call me at home."
Zhao Guoqing responded, "Boss, please go back quickly. Leave this to me."
The sun shone on the earth. Guo Junshan rode his bicycle across the street and stopped in front of the Guo family's courtyard.
Before entering the courtyard, he heard the noises of Qi Panqiu and Guo Junyue arguing. Guo Junshan couldn't help but shake his head. Here they go again...
"Mom, do you find me annoying? If I had known you'd find me troublesome, I shouldn't have stayed in Jing City."
Qi Panqiu's eyes widened in anger, and he said hurriedly, "Yes, I just find you annoying. Guo Junyue, let me remind you, you're almost 30, and if you don't get married soon, you'll be old!"
"What do you mean old? I'm nowhere near thirty!" Guo Junshan was unconvinced and argued, "Besides, Wei Gaotian doesn't even dare to rush me, so why are you constantly pushing me?"
Mentioning Wei Gaotian, Qi Panqiu became even angrier: "You still have the nerve to mention Wei Gaotian? Do you know how many young girls are thinking about him? Guo Junyue, that's enough. If you keep up the mischief, you won't be able to control this."
Guo Junshan pushed the door open and walked straight inside, saying, "Stop making noise. I want to sleep."
The room was quiet. Qi Panqiu looked at his son's huge dark circles and bloodshot eyes and immediately closed his mouth.
She lowered her voice and said to Guo Junyue, "I won't argue with you. While Wei Gaotian is still here, go find him and ask him to come over for lunch."
Guo Junyue was pushed out of the door unwillingly, shouting: "Mom——"
Qi Panqiu's eyes widened and he threatened, "Are you going or not? If you don't go, don't blame me for spanking you."
Guo Songbai lowered his head, his eyes fell on the newspaper in his hand, and then he began to read. He couldn't interfere with his daughter-in-law's discipline of his granddaughter.
Guo Junshan opened his eyes again, and the aroma of food filled the room. He put on his shoes and walked out of the room. Looking up, he saw Wei Gaoyun sitting contentedly on the sofa.
Guo Junshan called out, "Brother Wei."
"Junshan, are you awake?" Wei Gaoyun put down the water cup in his hand, sat up straight and asked, "Any progress on your case?"
"No progress yet." Guo Junshan was reluctant to bring up the case at hand and replied vaguely, "Brother Wei, please sit still. I have to get back to work right away."
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Wei Gaotian said with a smile, "Have you seen that kid Gao Yun recently?"
Guo Junshan let out a long sigh and said, "Isn't he studying? The college entrance examination is coming soon. What else can he do if not study?"
Wei Gaotian sighed and said, "What's there to study for? ... This kid said he didn't want to take the college entrance exam. He's not cut out for it. I asked him to join the army, but he refused, saying he couldn't handle the hardship."
You two have been playing together since childhood, so you should give him some advice when you have time! You are about the same age, and everyone else has a proper job, but he is the only one who is not serious.
This is because the policy has changed, otherwise people like him would have packed up and gone to the countryside to farm long ago."
"You can discipline your brother yourself." Guo Junyue came out holding the cardboard box and said, "My brother is busy and doesn't have time."
As she spoke, she handed the cardboard box in her arms to Guo Junshan: "I made two new skirts, please send them to Shu Ning. If there is anything that doesn't fit, ask her to modify it herself."
Guo Junshan looked down and saw that the cardboard box was full of more than just two skirts.
Guo Junyue smiled and said, "Grandpa asked me to send the other things over. I have to go back to work this afternoon, so I really can't squeeze out the time."
"Wait a moment!" Qi Panqiu came out with a shovel and said, "Junshan, there's a sweater on the table in my room. I knitted it for Shuning's mother. Please send it over as well!
I haven't met you either. I knitted based on your grandfather's description of your height and weight, so it should be about the same. Shu Ning is taking the college entrance exam soon, right? I thought I'd go over there. Is that okay?
The eldest son got married early, and the second daughter also has a boyfriend. What Qi Panqiu can't let go of the most is her youngest son Guo Junshan, who has a very cold personality.
Since her son's personality was not pleasant, she, as a mother, had to be more enthusiastic. It would be bad if the Chen family thought her family was arrogant and looked down on Chen Shuning.
Guo Junshan blinked and said, "Mom, please find some time to go to the post office. I really can't leave. It won't be too late for Shu Ning to go after she finishes the college entrance examination. I'm afraid she'll feel stressed if you go now."
