Chapter Eighty-four: The Serial Murder Case

  The next day, Zhang Jun sent Zhang Wu away and continued his jade hunting trip in Feicui City. Picking out the most valuable part from a pile of raw jade was supposed to be an interesting thing to do. However, when similar things kept repeating, it became dull and tasteless unless he came across top-quality jade.

  In the next half month, he basically swept away all the good jade in Feicui City. There were indeed many good goods in Feicui City, which were carefully selected by him and prepared to be used to make friends with Mr. Su Pingnan.

  When the shopping in Emerald City was over, he found three pieces of jade. These three pieces of jade each had their own characteristics and were rare treasures that couldn't be bought with money, he was very satisfied.

  That day, he prepared the jade and was about to visit Su Pingnan when Shen Rong called him. She said on the phone: "Zhang Jun, I'm at the scene of the case now, do you want to come over?"

  "What kind of case?"

  "In the past year, Lantian District has seen four consecutive murder cases, all of whom were young and beautiful women between the ages of 20 and 35. The methods of their deaths varied, with some being beaten to death, others dying from carbon monoxide poisoning, and two being poisoned by anesthetics before suffocating."

  Zhang Jun was shocked: "What's the connection between the four murder cases?"

  "It's still uncertain for the time being, but all cases occurred in Lantian District and the timing is so close that it can't help but raise suspicions." Shen Rong said, "Today's deceased was killed by a blow to the back of the head, and the body was found in the green belt of a certain community with residual warmth."

  "Okay, I'll be right there." He hung up the phone and immediately drove over.

  The residential area where the incident occurred is called Yinghua Community, with more than 2,000 households. When he arrived, he saw that the scene had been cordoned off, and forensic doctors and criminal investigation experts were taking photos and investigating the scene.

  Seeing Zhang Jun, Shen Rong hurried over and said, "You're here, go take a look."

  Zhang Jun nodded and entered the cordon with Shen Rong. The forensic doctor also knew him, they had drunk together before, he nodded to Zhang Jun and continued working.

  "The identity of the deceased has been confirmed, she rented a house in this neighborhood, single, 26 years old, salesperson for a cosmetics company, and an outsider. Her social relationships were not complicated, except for her colleagues at the company, she hardly knew anyone." Shen Rong told Zhang Jun about the situation.

  Zhang Jun listened while observing the corpse. The deceased was lying on her back, eyes tightly closed, and her face was pale. It could be seen that she had a good appearance, with delicate skin and refined features, and must have been a beauty when she was alive.

  Moreover, the deceased was dressed in a very fashionable manner and had undergone meticulous makeup before death, even with carefully trimmed fingernails.

  Zhang Jun observed for a moment, suddenly feeling that the scene in front of him had shaken slightly. In the blink of an eye, he caught a stunning glimpse: behind a beautiful woman standing in the green belt, stood a man in his thirties.

  The man's face was dark and thin, his expression cold and numb, but in his eyes a fire of lust was clearly burning. He raised an iron hammer and struck the woman on the back of her head, causing her to die instantly.

  The image flashed by so quickly that Zhang Jun didn't have time to react. He stood there in a daze, his face filled with shock and confusion - could the Buddha's eye really see things that had already happened?

  Shen Rong saw that his face was not right and thought he had seen a corpse, so she quickly said: "It's okay, you'll get used to it later."

  At this moment, a group of people walked into the cordon line, led by a young man who looked like he was twenty-seven or eight years old. Behind him were Qin Huo and several other detectives, none of whom looked very good.

  As he walked onto the scene, the young man had an air of authority about him. He waved his hand: "All of you go to one side, I'll take charge here."

  Several police officers on duty were stunned, then looked at Qin Huo. Qin Huo's face didn't look good, and he coldly said: "This is Meng Han, a police officer from outside the bureau who specializes in criminal investigation, has studied abroad in the US, and was mentored by the great detective Li Changyu. He has rich experience. The Blue Field district's serial murder case will be handled by him from now on, everyone must fully cooperate."

  A young man in charge of the investigation suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "Qin, what's going on? We've been following this case for more than half a year, why should we let outsiders intervene?"

  Young Zhao of the criminal investigation team had a quick temper and immediately protested.

  Meng Han looked at Little Zhao with disdain and said, "You've been following this case for half a year and still can't crack it. Your Chinese police are really a bunch of good-for-nothings. If this were in the US, a big case like this would be solved within a month."

  Xiao Zhao was furious and sarcastically said: "Hey, you're still 'you Chinese people', what's wrong with you, are you an American devil?"

  "Rude and barbaric, that's about the characteristic of you Chinese people, right?" Meng said coldly. "I joined American nationality at the age of 10, so I am an American, not a Chinese."

  Xiao Zhao was so angry that he wanted to punch that hateful face, he spat on the ground and cursed: "Son of a bitch! Who are you talking about?"

  He is a true Kyoto man, once his temper flares up, he rolls up his sleeves and wants to fight.

  Another policeman hastily pulled him back and said, "Don't bother with this fake foreign devil, disgusting thing."

  Meng Han Leng snorted and said: "You guys are just good at talking, when it comes to professionalism, I can beat you by eighty streets."

  This finally made Qin Huo unable to hold back his anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Officer Meng, watch your words. If it weren't for the higher-ups insisting on settling you down here, our criminal investigation team wouldn't need outsiders' help."

  Meng Han said coldly, "This time I and my mentor Mr. Li Changyu came here for academic research, not to solve the case. However, your police chief happened to mention this case at the seminar, and my mentor was very interested, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

  "So you should understand, I personally didn't want to come here and work with people like you, but it was your police chief who invited me over. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go tell your chief." He spoke eloquently, leaving Qin Huo unable to refute him.

  Zhang Jun had been watching him perform all this time, and he was equally indignant. He was also a member of the criminal investigation team, and the entire criminal investigation team, as well as the police force of the entire country, were being looked down upon by others. He couldn't not counterattack, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold his head up high even in front of himself.

  He "heh heh" laughed and said: "I don't care if you're a student of Li Changyu or Li Changshi, this place doesn't need you, hurry up and get out, one minute later the big ears will slap you."

  Meng Han laughed coldly: "Ridiculous! A group of incompetent people, out of jealousy, want to drive away a true expert?"

  Zhang Jun burst out laughing and sneered at the other person, saying: "Son, today I'll let you know what a real expert is! I'll crack this case in six hours and show it to you!"

  Author's words:

  Never written a detective story before, it's awkward and slow going.
