74: A strange case hotly discussed online, four searches yielded no results

A Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer committed crimes in Huangpu District.

Although he had anticipated it, Gao Ze's heart still trembled when he heard Liu Wenzhong's voice.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Wenzhong's voice was even trembling.

"Brother Gao, please come and help me. I really can't handle this case!"

"This is a major case that has made it onto national news platforms. If it appears in our jurisdiction and isn't solved, I'm afraid everyone in our Huangpu District Criminal Investigation Brigade, from top to bottom, will be held accountable."

"Are you sure it's a murder committed by the Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer?"

Gao Ze understood that Liu Wenzhong was not mistaken. The previous murderer had already killed four teenage girls, causing a sensation in the news.

Now, if the case were to be exposed again, letting the public know that the Police had not yet solved this murderer's case, not only would the Municipal Bureau be furious, but the top leaders of the city would also be furious.

At that time, Liu Wenzhong and the Huangpu District Criminal Investigation Brigade would be the ones to suffer.

"It should be that Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer!"

Liu Wenzhong took a deep breath and said,

"I've read the murderer's case files. He usually assaults teenage girls under twenty, slits their throats, sexually assaults them, and then makes cuts on the victim's right forearm."

"Now, this female victim in our jurisdiction is exactly like that!"

"She was killed by a slit throat, showed signs of being violated, and had five blood marks on her right forearm. Besides that, we also found the victim's phone, ID, and so on at the crime scene."

"These all match the characteristics of that Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer's methods.

How could a typical murderer be so audacious as to easily let us know the victim's identity information!"

"I understand!"

"Brother Gao, hurry up! If this case isn't solved, I won't be able to bear it!"

"Got it, I'm heading over now."

"Where's the address?"

"Huangpu District, Taiping Square Park!"

Liu Wenzhong's urgent voice came from the phone, showing how anxious he was at that moment.

The Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer had committed four murders but had not yet been caught by the Police, which showed his strength. Liu Wenzhong didn't dare to guarantee that he could solve the case.

He had no choice but to seek help from Gao Ze.

"Mr. Gao, what's wrong?"

Seeing Gao Ze stand up, Li Qingshu, who had been sitting quietly, also stood up and asked, "Is it a case?"

"That's right, it's a serial female teenage murder case!"

"Is it that Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer case in Donghai City!"

Li Qingshu's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, and she said, "I saw this case on the news channel, and various bloggers online have discussed it. It's still unresolved."

"And it's said that many of the Police Officers who handled the case back then were demoted and held accountable because they couldn't solve it."

Gao Ze was a little surprised: "Miss Li, you're quite well-informed."

"Thanks to the developed internet, there are often 'Top Ten Strange Cases'!"

"And that Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer appeared in our Donghai City, targeting those teenage girls. I even felt terrified for a while."

Gao Ze was silent for a moment.

It seems this Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer case must be solved.

Because even a few years ago when the internet was not very developed, this case had such a great impact and was widely discussed online.

Now that it has resurfaced, if it isn't solved, the consequences for the Huangpu District Criminal Investigation Brigade will likely be even more severe. The Municipal Bureau and even the entire Donghai City Police will lose face.

They will be nailed to the pillar of shame!

"Mr. Gao, are you going to investigate this case?"

Li Qingshu looked at Gao Ze, worriedly saying, "If you can refuse, I think it's better to refuse."

"If it's solved, that's good. If it's not solved, it will bring you immeasurable losses, even a devastating blow."

She recognized Gao Ze's ability, but a case like the Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer was too risky. A slight mistake, and failing to solve it, would bring him a lot of trouble and interrupt his rising momentum.

"This case was an invitation from a friend. I can refuse, but wearing this Police uniform, it's my duty, so I can't refuse!"

Gao Ze shook his head and said, "You just go complete the task of investing in Liu Jingming's game company. The Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer case will be left to me."

"Okay, I will establish the Holy Light Society and evaluate Liu Jingming's game studio for investment."

Li Qingshu's face showed a slight emotion. She opened her mouth but didn't try to persuade him further, watching Gao Ze's gradually disappearing back. Her heart was filled with surging emotions and admiration.

Disregarding consequences, daring to take responsibility.

Mr. Gao's character truly lived up to the title of Vice President of the Holy Light Society.

Such people are truly rare in the world. If she encountered danger, she could completely entrust her back to Gao Ze, and the organization was completely worth her full dedication.

........

Huangpu District, Taiping Square Park.

Gao Ze drove the Police car to the crime scene Liu Wenzhong mentioned.

This was a very secluded park, not densely populated. There were large areas of resettlement housing communities being demolished. The park itself was very large, with much greenery and plants, but only a very few people were leisurely strolling.

"Brother Gao, you're finally here."

Seeing Gao Ze's tall figure appear, Liu Wenzhong immediately pulled open the white Police tape and greeted him with a smile.

He was genuinely happy.

Because he had already explained the Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer case, and any Police Officer would know the risks involved, yet Gao Ze was still willing to help him and come here.

This was enough to show Gao Ze's excellent character and that he treated him like a brother.

"Team Leader Liu, let's skip the pleasantries. Where's the victim's body?"

Gao Ze crossed the Police tape and could see many Huangpu District Criminal Police looking at him, their faces filled with surprise and anticipation.

Liu Wenzhong pulled Gao Ze to the muddy ground by the Artificial Lake in the park, pointed at the white shroud, and said, "It's right here!"

"What exactly happened?"

Gao Ze didn't immediately examine the body. Two forensic doctors in white coats were already standing by the shroud. He asked, "Team Leader Liu, weren't you with me at the commendation ceremony at noon?"

"Who said I wasn't?"

Liu Wenzhong sighed deeply and said, "My luck is terrible. Yesterday I encountered the Wu Mingjun family annihilation case, and today I ran into the Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer."

"The situation is like this: after I finished the commendation ceremony and returned to the bureau, I received a call from a middle-aged couple reporting that they had found a female body in Taiping Square Park."

After muttering to himself.

Liu Wenzhong pointed to two middle-aged couples, who looked to be in their forties and had tense expressions, standing next to the Criminal Police.

Gao Ze asked the couple, "How did you find a body in the park?"

"We were strolling in the park around 1 PM and saw a black bag in this area, so we curiously opened it."

The middle-aged man said, "Who would have thought that inside the black bag was a girl's body? My wife and I were so scared that we called the Police right away."

No valuable clues.

The witnesses were a couple, so suspicion could almost be ruled out.

Gao Ze looked at Liu Wenzhong and asked, "What happened after you arrived?"

"After arriving here, we sealed off the scene and took the girl's body out of the black body bag for examination!"

Liu Wenzhong said, "From this female body, we found signs of assault, a slit throat wound, and knife marks on the right forearm, as well as her phone and wallet ID information. I judged that it should be a murder committed by that Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer."

"Subsequently, after the forensic doctor colleagues from the identification center arrived and examined the victim's ID and body injuries, their judgment was consistent with ours."

"This victim was assaulted by that Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer who had committed four previous murders.

She has DNA in her lower body, a fatal throat slit wound on her neck, and five blood marks on her right forearm, all matching the characteristics of that serial killer's modus operandi."

"Most importantly, after he assaulted and killed her, he didn't destroy the victim's phone and wallet ID information at all. This is just like that murderer, audacious and arrogant!"

"I understand."

Gao Ze nodded. Liu Wenzhong was an experienced veteran Criminal Investigation Brigade, and there was also the forensic doctor's judgment, so it should not be wrong. This female victim was indeed assaulted and killed by that Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer.

And the system intelligence also reminded him.

This murderer would strike again.

"But—the case is tricky now!"

Liu Wenzhong looked at Gao Ze and complained bitterly, "The cases committed by the Serial Flower Season Girl Murderer, the previous four, have not been solved."

"Even though there's the killer's DNA in the victim, our Police have extensively investigated and compared, but we haven't found any trace of that killer at all. He's as if he's vanished into thin air in Donghai City."

"How are we supposed to find him?"
