Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

This happened in 1999. Near the end of July, three murders occurred one after another.

In the first case, a foreman died.

The developer has circled a [-]-acre piece of land on the outskirts of the city. The contractor has taken over the work, but it has not yet started.

The fence has just been built, some mobile dormitories have been built, brand-new air conditioners, brand-new upper and lower iron beds, and workers have not even been recruited yet.

This is the land where construction is about to start.

The contractor died in an office built in a mobile home. The time of death was at night. He was stabbed several times and the glass of the mobile home was broken.

The police judged that this might be something like this:

At night, the murderer knew that the mobile home had just been built and there was no one there at night, so there might be some property inside, so he entered the house and robbed it.

At this time, the contractor drove over because of something unexpected.

It was later confirmed that this was indeed the case. That night, the boss asked the contractor to prepare a document. The contractor came to the mobile home at one o'clock in the evening.

When he entered the door, he bumped into the murderer who was stealing. The two fought and the murderer killed the contractor.

A safe at the scene was open and more than 1 yuan worth of property was missing from it.

This further confirmed that it was a robbery. After the murderer saw the contractor, he took a knife and forced the contractor to reveal the password to the safe. After getting the money, he killed again and silenced him.

There were no fingerprints or shoe prints of the perpetrator left at the scene, which shows that the murderer was a habitual robbery offender and came prepared.

The police investigation team quickly determined the direction of investigation——

Workers who have been interviewing the project site in the past few days, people familiar with the contractor, and villagers near the project site are the direction of the investigation.

The contractor died on Friday.

.

Who would have thought that on the second day of the investigation, a second murder occurred again.

A few kilometers away from the first robbery, it was still in this area on the outskirts of the city.

Chen Weng, 66, died at home. He lives alone in a wooden house in the mountains. There is a whole yew forest next to the wooden house.

This Chen Weng can be regarded as an invisible rich man. He owns a yew tree in the mountains. These yew trees can be cut down to make tea tables, which are expensive.

Chen Weng was in the yew timber business and hired several lumberjacks.

Early the next morning, when the lumberjack came to work, he saw that the door of Chen Weng's house was open.

Entering the house, he found Chen Weng's body. He was stabbed several times.

The drawers were in a mess, including watches and some antiques and valuables.

No cash was found at the scene and it was believed that all the money had been stolen. It's still a robbery.

The robber was very smart. He only stole money and not items, because if these valuable items were sold in a pawn shop, his identity would be exposed.

Chen Weng always uses cash to do business. Every day, bosses from lumber factories and tea table factories come to Chen Weng to buy yew wood. After Chen Weng receives the money, he deposits it in the bank in the next week.

It is impossible to estimate how much cash the robbers took away, but it was at least tens of thousands of dollars.

Chen Weng died on Saturday.

The murderer's fingerprints and shoe prints were still not found at the scene.

The murderer broke into the house wearing gloves and shoe covers to rob. It is not known whether the murderer is a man or a woman.

A serial crime?

A serial crime!

Chen Weng and the contractor were most likely killed by the same murderer, because both of them were killed with a fruit knife of the same caliber.

The murder weapon was not at the crime scene.

But there is a high possibility that the murderer is a man. After all, the contractor is in his prime and Chen Weng is also in good health.

At this time, the police had to pay more attention. On the one hand, they wanted to pursue the murderer, and on the other hand, they had to protect this suburban area.

Two murders in two days, money was stolen, and murder was committed! Too brutal.

The police determined that the murderer was at the peak of his crime spree.

Since Saturday, the Crime Squad and the suburban police station have deployed a large number of police officers to set up roadblocks and patrol throughout the night to protect this area.

Sunday was a peaceful day with no incident.

.

But who would have thought that on Monday, the third murder occurred.

This time the murderer committed the crime not in the suburbs of the city. It was more than ten kilometers away from the place where the previous two crimes were committed.

It was a village house where an old woman living alone was killed at home.

The body began to decompose and was stabbed several times. It was confirmed that the knife marks on the old woman's body were the same murder weapon used in the previous two murders.

There was a pillow next to the body, and there were bloody footprints and size 42 boots on the ground. But the fingerprints were deliberately erased.

This time it was finally discovered that the murderer was most likely a male.

The house was in a mess, and all the jewelry and money were missing.

Find a ferry ticket to Macao.

The police walked into the kitchen. There was a bottle of milk covered with bugs in the kitchen pot. The ingredients of sleeping pills were extracted from the milk.

But why did only this case leave shoe prints?

In fact, to be precise, this old woman is the No. 1 victim.

The old woman died more than seven days ago, which means she was the first to be murdered by this serial murderer.

This should be the murderer's first crime.

He knew that the old woman lived alone in a village house, had some money, and a milk company specialist delivered a bottle of milk every day.

So the murderer tampered with the milk and took sleeping pills.

Until late at night, the murderer thought that the old woman must be asleep.

There was a tree next to the house where the old woman lived, so the murderer climbed up the tree, jumped into the window, and sneaked into the old woman's home to rob.

The first time he committed a crime, his motive was probably just to make money and not to kill anyone.

But who would have thought that the old woman heated the milk that night and forgot to drink it. The old woman slept very lightly and woke up when she heard the noise. She found the murderer and wanted to scream.

The murderer stabbed the old woman several times in panic, but did not hurt her vital parts. The old woman was still struggling and wanted to ask for help.

She couldn't make any more noise. If she alerted the people next to her, it would be over.

So the murderer became cruel, grabbed a pillow on the sofa, covered the old woman to death, and then took away the jewelry and property.

But after getting the jewelry, he realized that the jewelry might not be used and would be easily discovered by the police if taken to a pawn shop.

But the cash received at the old woman's house was too little. The murderer needs money again.

So, a few days later, he traveled more than ten kilometers and carried out the second murder of the contractor and the third murder of Chen Weng.

In the second and third crimes, the murderer became cautious and wore gloves and shoe covers.

The police dispatched a large number of police personnel to investigate with all their strength, but after that, the murderer stopped committing crimes.

.

At this moment, it is mid-August of 1999.

More than half a month has passed since these three murders.

Late at night, in the office of the Crime Unit, a fan was spinning on the ceiling. In summer, it can only get cooler at night.

There was half a cold hamburger on the desk, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

There is a man sitting on the desk, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans with a small parted hair that is popular in the millennium.

23-year-old Xu Wenshan smoked a cigarette and looked at the blackboard in front of him. On the blackboard were photos of the three deceased people, and the interpersonal relationships of the three deceased people were written in white chalk.

After checking for more than half a month, it turned out that these three people had no intersection and no common acquaintances.

So how did the murderer choose his target? Is it just random?

Impossible, the murderer must have some way to know that these three people are rich. How did the murderer know?

Is the murderer a merchandise promoter? Insurance person? Community worker? Maintenance worker?

Impossible, none of the three victims had contact with these people before their deaths.

Moreover, the murderer no longer commits crimes.

These three murders all occurred in late July, within a short period of time and in succession.

This confirmed that the murderer was in urgent need of money and took desperate risks for the sake of wealth. With the conclusion of the three cases, the murderer got the amount of money he wanted and stopped committing crimes.

The murderer did not commit the crime, but Xu Wenshan is still chasing the murderer.

The phone rang, and the number showed that it was Hu Muzhen.
