14: Was it Lei Zhen who caught him again?
Lei Zhen and Gu Qingcheng drove back to Qinghe Town and quickly found the Dulux paint store.
According to the village head, Wang Qingshan had made a lot of money running the paint shop over the years, not only buying a car and a house in Qinghe but also reportedly spending a fortune to buy several storefronts.
His current wife, Li Jiajuan, is only 28 this year, more than ten years younger than Wang Qingshan, and it is said that they met at a card table.
Li Jiajuan was quite pretty and initially looked down on the burly Wang Qingshan, but she couldn't resist Wang Qingshan's relentless pursuit. In the end, seeing that he had some money, she actually married him.
Their son was born the second year after they got married, and now the couple is doing quite well.
The village head also said that Wang Qingshan loved this young wife very much, obeyed her every command, and bought her whatever she wanted. The woman also wore all designer brands, with even a simple skirt costing several thousand yuan.
The former village bully, who used to beat his wife, had now become a veritable 'wife-doting demon'.
Gu Qingcheng parked the Xiaomi U7 directly next to the storefront. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw a bald man emerge from the storefront.
Lei Zhen clearly saw the words above the other party's head.

Because both Gu Qingcheng and Lei Zhen were wearing uniforms, Wang Qingshan was also stunned for half a second when he saw them.
He turned to leave, but Lei Zhen shouted in a commanding voice, "Stop."
Unexpectedly, Wang Qingshan, perhaps with a guilty conscience, actually took off running.
Lei Zhen hadn't expected this guy's psychological fortitude to be so poor, so he quickly chased after him.
It was only when he started running that he realized his physical fitness had improved by more than just a little bit.
Wang Qingshan was, after all, in his forties. Even if Lei Zhen hadn't gained physical endurance from obtaining Super Combat, he still wouldn't have been able to outrun Lei Zhen.
Finally, Lei Zhen delivered a flying kick, sending Wang Qingshan flying.
The force of this kick was quite astonishing. Wang Qingshan flew four or five meters, knocked over a row of shared bicycles, and finally lay on the ground wailing in agony.
Lei Zhen stepped forward and pinned him down: "Why are you running?"
Wang Qingshan, however, shouted for help, "The police are hitting people! The police are hitting people!"
His shouts quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers. Gu Qingcheng also ran up with handcuffs at this time. Lei Zhen took the handcuffs from Gu Qingcheng and directly cuffed him.
"Wang Qingshan, you are suspected of murder. I officially inform you that you have been arrested."
After Lei Zhen finished speaking, he pulled Wang Qingshan up from the ground.
"I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone! You've got the wrong person," Wang Qingshan argued loudly.
Lei Zhen directly slapped him on the back of the head: "Save that for the judge."
Gu Qingcheng had been a bit unsure before coming, but seeing Wang Qingshan run, she almost certainly concluded that he was the murderer.
Now, seeing Wang Qingshan cuffed with the 'silver bracelets' by Lei Zhen, she felt an inexplicable excitement.
After all, catching a serial killer is an opportunity that many ordinary police officers never get in their lifetime, and to catch a criminal while still in her internship period, what a great honor that would be.
Of course, even if Gu Qingcheng didn't admit it verbally, she knew very well in her heart that she was riding on Lei Zhen's coattails.
Watching Lei Zhen escort Wang Qingshan back, Gu Qingcheng's expression towards him changed.
If his previous provision of information leading to the capture of the perpetrator of the family massacre was luck, then catching Wang Qingshan this time could not simply be explained by luck.
Gu Qingcheng could never have imagined that Lei Zhen, this street loafer, actually had some capability.
Lei Zhen escorted Wang Qingshan to the front of his storefront. A woman, dressed flamboyantly, then appeared. Seeing her husband handcuffed by the police, the woman was stunned.
"Your husband is suspected of murder and has been arrested by us," Gu Qingcheng told her directly.
This sentence shocked the other party so much that she didn't recover for a long time.
And so, Wang Qingshan was directly brought back to Qinghe Police Station by Lei Zhen.
As soon as they entered the main gate, they ran into Director Zhao, Zhao Gang, who was about to leave.
Normally, the Police Station would bring in petty thieves, so Zhao Gang wasn't surprised to see Lei Zhen escorting a man.
Instead, Lei Zhen greeted him first: "Director Zhao, where are you off to?"
Zhao Gang said, "The Special Task Force just called, saying the forensic team has new clues. All three victims had undergone hemorrhoid surgery at our Qinghe Chengguan Hospital. The killer is very likely related to the hospital, so they asked me to go to Chengguan Hospital to understand the situation together."
Lei Zhen understood that Gu Qingcheng's Older Female Cousin must have reported her new discovery.
Unfortunately, they were one step too late.
"No need to go," Lei Zhen chuckled. "I've already caught the person and brought him back."
Zhao Gang was stunned upon hearing this. He looked at the middle-aged man handcuffed by Lei Zhen, then at Gu Qingcheng's triumphant smile, and seemed to understand something.
"Are you saying..." Zhao Gang pointed at the middle-aged man.
Lei Zhen smiled and said, "His name is Wang Qingshan. He once had an argument with the three victims over cutting in line. When we went to arrest him just now, this guy ran away as soon as he saw us. It seems he has a guilty conscience."
Zhao Gang was completely dumbfounded on the spot. He stared at Wang Qingshan for a long time without regaining his composure.
"Are you serious?" He still couldn't quite believe his eyes.
The Special Task Force had spent over a month, mobilizing tens of thousands of police officers from the surrounding areas, yet they couldn't find the suspect. And Lei Zhen actually found him?
How did he do it?!
Seeing Zhao Gang frozen, Lei Zhen laughed heartily, "Of course it's true. I can guarantee that he is 100% the murderer. You should quickly call Captain Wan and have him bring the person for interrogation."
Zhao Gang then came to his senses and quickly pulled out his phone to call Wan Qiang.
Wan Qiang had just finished an emergency meeting and was preparing to rush to Chengguan Hospital in Qinghe Town when he suddenly heard that the suspect had been apprehended. His entire head immediately started buzzing.
"What did you say? Lei Zhen caught the murderer?"
He was so surprised that his mouth could fit his entire fist.
In less than half an hour, Wan Qiang's car pulled into Qinghe Police Station. Wan Qiang jumped out and saw Zhao Gang, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Where is the suspect?" Wan Qiang asked loudly.
"He's in the interrogation room," Zhao Gang said. "But we haven't interrogated him; we're waiting for you to come personally."
Wan Qiang strode towards the interrogation room, and Zhao Gang quickly followed.
"Was it Lei Zhen who caught him again?" Wan Qiang asked, looking back as he walked.
"Yes, he and Gu Qingcheng."
Wan Qiang paused, "Boss Gu's daughter?"
"Yes, it's said that they also went to the forensic center earlier, and the matter about the hemorrhoid surgery was also discovered by Lei Zhen."
Zhao Gang's words completely dumbfounded Wan Qiang.
"This Lei Zhen is a talent!" Wan Qiang immediately said, "Old Zhao, if this person is truly the perpetrator of the serial case, you must give me Lei Zhen."
Zhao Gang's mouth twitched upon hearing this, thinking, *We in Qinghe helped you solve the case, and your first thought is to poach someone?*
Regarding the previous family massacre case, Zhao Gang also thought Lei Zhen was lucky. Although he had a good impression of him and considered him a lucky general, he didn't particularly like him to that extent.
But at this moment, Zhao Gang no longer thought that way.
Lei Zhen had only been an Auxiliary Police Officer for two days, yet he had caught a suspect that the Special Task Force had spent over a month trying to find. This could no longer be explained by luck.
Zhao Gang knew very well that this kid wasn't solving cases based on luck at all, but was a rare genius, seen only once in a century.
And for such a genius, you want me to just give him to you for free? No way!
Now, Lei Zhen had become Zhao Gang's prized possession, and no one would be allowed to take him away.
