You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 275 Serial Murder Case, Closed

Yang Jinwen slept until the afternoon and missed the cafeteria's meals.

Fortunately, Lü Weiwei specially saved a portion for him, which was packed in two insulated containers. The contents included braised fish, two braised duck legs, a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts, a brown sugar steamed bun, and half a box of rice.

In the conference room.

As Yang Jinwen ate, he called out to Maozi, Yao Weihua, Cai Ting, and Qi Bin, who were sitting opposite him.

"Eat it all, I can't finish all that food by myself."

The four of them glanced at the instant noodles they were holding, which cost 1.5 yuan and came in a bag. Although it smelled delicious, they couldn't help but swallow when they saw the dishes in front of Yang Jinwen.

Maozi looked at Lü Weiwei sitting to the side and asked, "Is the food in your cafeteria really that good?"

Lu Weiwei blushed and replied, "The bean sprouts and steamed buns were from this morning. I thought Captain Yang... I thought you guys would wake up in the morning, so I got a portion too..."

The four cats exchanged glances, all feeling a bitter taste in their mouths.

Yao Weihua bluntly said, "Comrade Xiao Lü, this is giving you special treatment."

"I...I'm sorry, I didn't think that much about it and forgot to prepare it for you."

Lu Weiwei blushed even more and stammered.

Cai Ting sighed, took out her mobile phone, and held it to her ear: "Hello? Is this Forensic Doctor Wen...?"

Yang Jinwen glanced at him, and Cai Ting chuckled, "Sorry, wrong number."

Lu Weiwei frowned and asked, "Who is Forensic Doctor Wen?"

While eating instant noodles, Yao Weihua said, "Our Director Wen's daughter is also our Captain Yang's fiancée."

"Fiancée?" Lü Weiwei's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but swallow, looking at Yang Jinwen.

Yang Jinwen smiled and nodded: "Yes, we're getting engaged on National Day."

Lu Weiwei's face turned from red to green. She blinked, took a deep breath, and quickly pushed the braised fish and braised duck leg in front of Yang Jinwen's table toward Yao Weihua and Maozi.

"Eat, everyone eat."

Yang Jinwen's chopsticks missed, but he wasn't angry.

Yao Weihua and Maozi stretched out their chopsticks with satisfaction, while Cai Ting was even more unceremonious, directly picking up a duck leg and putting it in her own bowl, while she put the other one in Qi Bin's bowl.

So, next to Yang Jinwen was only a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts and brown sugar steamed buns, and they were from the morning.

The sudden reduction in pay caused a feeling of disappointment.

Modern women know when to advance and retreat. If they like you, they like you; if you're already taken, they definitely won't bother you.

Lü Weiwei was a typical girl. She immediately distanced herself from Yang Jinwen and returned to the way she was a few days ago when Yang Jinwen first met her—indifferent and without desire.

After eating a few bites, Yang Jinwen found the food rather bland. At that moment, Fu Mingyuan led his men into the conference room.

His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, and he looked like he had been up all night and hadn't slept yet. He was covered in the smell of cigarettes.

He plopped down next to Yang Jinwen and started eating a steamed bun.

"We interrogated Chai Jinqiang all night yesterday..."

Yang Jinwen put down his chopsticks and asked, "How is the situation?"

"They've confessed everything. They did indeed kill six people—three in Guizhou Province and three in our Dannan County. Director Zhou has already contacted them. This time, we've essentially helped them solve their cases as well."

Yao Weihua asked, "Have you searched the woods near the bus station?"

"Yes." Fu Mingyuan nodded: "I arranged for someone to go there in the early morning. I also went there this morning and just got back."

The week before Lunar New Year's Eve, the girl returned from out of town; her name was Qiu Xiaolan.

After getting off the bus, she dragged her suitcase home. Her home was not far from the bus station, only a half-hour walk away. She could have taken a motorcycle, but to save money, she didn't.

Just as Chai Jinqiang said, he killed Qiu Xiaolan when he went into the mountains, and the murder weapon was a steel wire rope.

After strangling her, Chai Jinqiang put Qiu Xiaolan's body into her suitcase and hid it next to a cypress tree..."

Yang Jinwen asked doubtfully, "That can't be right. Six months have passed, how could no one have noticed?"

"There was a pit under the cypress tree. The person was thrown into the pit and covered it with branches and weeds, almost like burying a body."

When we found the suitcase, it was full of white maggots, and the smell was...

Fu Mingyuan sighed as he ate his steamed bun.

Yao Weihua immediately put down his chopsticks, and Maozi lost his appetite. Cai Ting even pushed her lunchbox away, not wanting to eat anymore. Only Qi Bin was still gnawing on his duck leg.

Fu Mingyuan continued, "Hey, it was just a canvas suitcase with Qiu Xiaolan's picture on it. The place where the body was dumped was only one kilometer away from her home. Just one kilometer away, she can never go back."

Maozi said, "So Chai Jinqiang deserves to die! Captain Fu, did you ask him why he killed so many people?"

"I asked him, and the kid was very energetic. He kept me talking to him, telling me all the details of the murders he committed."

Didn't Captain Yang say that Chai Jinqiang might have erectile dysfunction? I used that to provoke him, and sure enough, this guy does have a problem.

He killed his cousin's wife for this reason. He said that he was helping his cousin's wife work in the fields when it was time to harvest rice.

Chai Jinqiang's cousin works away from home, so there are no men in the family.

After a busy day, Chai Jinqiang was about to go home, but his cousin-in-law asked him to stay for dinner. Chai Jinqiang agreed, but then he saw his cousin-in-law boiling water for a bath in the kitchen. The young man was overcome with lust and rushed in, intending to force himself on her.

My cousin's wife resisted, and accidentally kicked Chai Jinqiang.

Yao Weihua, Maozi, and Qi Bin nodded in deep agreement.

Cai Ting and Lü Weiwei nodded in agreement, adopting a learning attitude.

"Chai Jinqiang was in pain for a long time, howling in pain. Who knew that his cousin-in-law would say: 'You've worked all day and haven't even taken a shower, and you're already thinking about doing *that*.'"

This is equivalent to letting Chai Jinqiang take a bath before doing *that*.

What else can Chai Jinqiang say?

After enduring the excruciating pain and taking a shower, it was his cousin-in-law who led him into the house. Chai Jinqiang's cousin-in-law made a few sarcastic remarks, saying, "I told you not to go, but you insisted. Now that I'm letting you go, you still won't do it."

This enraged Chai Jinqiang. After trying several times without success, he killed his cousin's wife and threw her body into an abandoned well behind the house. He then filled it with soil and covered it with stones.

After that, he took the opportunity of going out to work to kill two people in Guikang City, Guizhou Province. It is estimated that he began to hate women from that time.

He would kill someone and then flee to a different place until last winter, when he came to our Danan County and murdered Qiu Xiaolan.

However, Qiu Xiaolan's case is somewhat different from the latter two.

Yang Jinwen asked, "How is it different?"

After finishing his steamed bun, Fu Mingyuan tore off a tissue, wiped his hands, and said, "When we found Qiu Xiaolan's body, she was wearing clothes, and there were no cigarette burns on her body."

Yang Jinwen pondered for a moment and said, "The modus operandi has changed?"

"Yes."

Have you asked Chai Jinqiang?

“We haven’t even asked yet. This case will definitely be reviewed many times. If anything is wrong, we’ll have to interrogate Chai Jinqiang again.”

When was the crime committed?

Fu Mingyuan pointed to his finger: "Captain Yang has hit the nail on the head. Chai Jinqiang always kills people every six months except for the 528 case and the case of the small shop owner's murder, which were only one week apart."

“I understand now.” Yang Jinwen nodded.

"Captain Yang, what do you understand?" Cat asked.

Yang Jinwen glanced at Cai Ting and Lü Weiwei, frowned, and said, "Do I really have to tell you now? Actually, Captain Fu can find out the truth by interrogating them again later."

Cai Ting urged, "Please tell us, we're very curious."

“Alright.” Yang Jinwen pondered for a moment and said, “Actually, it’s just a process of psychological change. Serial killers usually have some psychological issues.”

Regardless of whether it was Chai Jinqiang's cousin-in-law who angered him and led him to commit murder, it cannot conceal his violent nature.

The four cases mentioned above, with a six-month interval between them, indicate that Chai Jinqiang's killings have developed into a pattern.

Until Yu Jing was murdered in the 528 case, and then Chai Jinqiang continued to kill a week later, changing his modus operandi, it shows that he had tasted success in killing Yu Jing.

Fu Mingyuan asked, "What kind of benefits?"

"Before Yu Jing was murdered, she voluntarily took off her clothes. Chai Jinqiang then killed her. Yu Jing experienced urinary incontinence when she was murdered, right?"

“Uh…” Fu Mingyuan nodded: “That’s right, I’ve seen similar scenes before, hanging and strangulation, this situation can indeed occur.”

Yang Jinwen continued, "After Chai Jinqiang killed someone, he even smoked at the scene? Did he smoke before he killed people?"

If not, then why did he not only smoke when he killed Yu Jing, but also burn the victim's body with cigarette butts?

A week later, which was yesterday afternoon, the shop owner's name was Su Wenjuan?

Fu Mingyuan nodded: "That's the name."

"Su Wenjuan was also stripped naked and suffered the same thing. Why is that?"

Yao Weihua replied, "Urinary incontinence?"

Fu Mingyuan shook his head: "No."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "This stimulated Chai Jinqiang and made him feel unprecedentedly excited. So, a week after the 528 case, he couldn't help but continue to kill, and he even dared to commit crimes against the wind, not afraid of exposing himself at all."

"Damn, that's fucking perverted!" Cai Ting shook her head: "No, I need to go outside for a smoke."

Lü Weiwei stood up: "Give me one too."

After the two women left, Fu Mingyuan said, "That son of a bitch is really a pervert. I haven't seen anything like him in years. He's really something else."

I have to interrogate Chai Jinqiang again today; I need to put some pressure on him.

By the way, Captain Yang, when are you going back to the city?

"I'll be back in a bit."

"What's the rush? Didn't we agree to continue helping us solve the case?"

Yang Jinwen squinted at the rain outside the window: "I have to go back to see someone. After today, I won't be able to see them again."
