77: Amazing talent, catching the murderer among 20 million people

“Brother Gao, awesome!” Liu Wenzhong couldn’t help but blurt out a curse.

This time, he was truly convinced, without a shred of doubt.

What is called powerful, Gao Ze is like that.

With just a few seemingly unrelated clues, he deduced that the victim Shen Jingqing and the killer were connected and had personality flaws.

“Officer Gao is truly strong, worthy of being the big shot who solved Mu Yu Rou’s case and the Feng Changlin villa massacre case!”

“It seems that in this serial murder case of young girls, we might truly have hope of avoiding accountability!”

The criminal police officers in the park showed moved expressions.

They had seen the bodies and the crime scenes just like Gao Ze, but the clues they derived were worlds apart.

This was the difference, and also the reason why Gao Ze could earn merit.

“Liu Captain, you all?”

The teachers and students of Donghai Normal University looked at this scene, their faces puzzled.

Liu Wenzhong waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing, Teacher Zhao, please continue to tell us about Shen Jingqing’s usual situation and the origin of her depression.”

“Shen Jingqing is a sophomore at our Donghai Normal University.

She is usually introverted and reclusive, and doesn’t interact or talk much with people.”

The middle-aged male teacher said, “There are very few close friends of hers in the class, and Shen Jingqing doesn’t live on campus; she has always rented a house outside the school.”

“As for the origin of Shen Jingqing’s depression, I called her father and asked.

Her father said that Shen Jingqing saw her mother cheating when she was in junior high school, and after he and his wife divorced, he was busy with business and couldn’t take care of Shen Jingqing, which led to Shen Jingqing having a tendency towards depression.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenzhong’s pupils constricted, feeling that the situation was not good, and asked, “Shen Jingqing rented a house outside school; when did that start?”

“It started from her freshman year of college.”

The middle-aged male teacher said, “Shen Jingqing’s family background is good, and her father feels guilty towards her, so Shen Jingqing is financially well-off!”

“Did none of you know that Shen Jingqing lived off-campus, what she usually did, or who she interacted with?”

Liu Wenzhong asked unwillingly.

The middle-aged male teacher and the female student both shook their heads and said,

“We only know that the house Shen Jingqing lived in off-campus is in the Juxian Yayuan community in Huangpu District, Donghai City.

As for who she interacted with outside of school, we don’t know.”

The clues were cut off, without any surprises.

Liu Wenzhong asked a few more questions before having the criminal police take the three teachers and students to make a simple statement.

“Brother Gao, your judgment about the serial killer of young girls is correct.

He should have the same personality connection as Shen Jingqing, suffering from depression, or having experienced his mother’s infidelity.”

“This is why the killer harbors hostility towards girls, repeatedly harming young girls and seeking revenge.”

Liu Wenzhong looked at Gao Ze and asked, “But how do we find the serial killer of young girls?”

“Shen Jingqing is reclusive and has no friends on campus.

Renting a house outside campus, she will probably be even more reclusive.

We now only have one clue, which is that Shen Jingqing once lived in Juxian Yayuan in Huangpu District.”

“But do we have to retrieve surveillance footage from around the community or conduct extensive interviews with people around the community?”

“Using such methods, the possibility of finding the serial killer of young girls is minuscule!”

Gao Ze shook his head.

If Liu Wenzhong were to use such a method, he would undoubtedly invest a lot of energy and time, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Most importantly, the killer might not even be near Shen Jingqing’s community.

It could be outside the school, it could be the community, or even a random route.

Over two years, no one knew who Shen Jingqing interacted with or what paths she took.

“Then what should we do?”

Liu Wenzhong’s expression was slightly anxious.

“Taiping Square Park, have the surrounding surveillance cameras been investigated?”

Gao Ze said, “According to my on-site inspection, Taiping Square is indeed not the murder scene, but the place where the killer dumped the body.”

“It was checked a long time ago.”

“But trying to find the killer’s tracks through surveillance is probably impossible, because this park is too remote and few people come, so there is very little surveillance.”

Liu Wenzhong explained, “The park has two motorized vehicle entrances and exits, and each of these two entrances has a surveillance camera.

But Taiping Park is seven or eight standard football fields in size; this much surveillance is far from enough.

The other three pedestrian entrances and exits don’t even have surveillance cameras, and there are blind spots everywhere.

Even if they don’t come in through an entrance, they can still enter along the park’s green belt.”

Gao Ze said, “It seems this path is a bit unfeasible!”

“Taiping Park, this body dumping site, was carefully chosen by the killer.

He probably won’t give us an opportunity.”

Liu Wenzhong said with a wry smile, “If I could find that serial killer of young girls just by checking surveillance footage, I’d probably wake up laughing in my dreams, and those past police teams wouldn’t have been held accountable.”

After hearing this, Gao Ze did not respond, his mind rapidly working.

The serial killer of young girls chose Taiping Square Park to dump the body, indeed meticulously selecting it, knowing its sparse surveillance loopholes.

But does this mean the killer didn’t expose any clues?

That’s not necessarily true!

The killer could not have entered the park through the motorized vehicle entrance on surveillance, which means he would not choose to drive to dump the body.

To avoid surveillance, he could only enter to dump the body from a pedestrian entrance/exit or the park’s green belt.

But carrying a heavy black body bag through the green belt would easily arouse suspicion from passersby.

Such a risky act is almost impossible for that seasoned killer to choose.

But what if he chose to enter the park from a pedestrian entrance/exit to dump the body?

A hint of a smile appeared on Gao Ze’s face.

This is an important clue!

“Brother Gao, you have a way?”

Seeing Gao Ze’s relaxed expression and smile, Liu Wenzhong also felt much lighter.

“There’s a clumsy way to find the serial killer of young girls!”

“Clumsy way?”

Liu Wenzhong asked, puzzled, “How can a method be smart or clumsy? Any method that can find the killer is a good method.”

“My method, however, is to find that killer from the more than twenty million people in Donghai City!”

Gao Ze chuckled, “It will take a lot of effort, Team Leader Liu, isn’t that clumsy?”

“Ah!”

Liu Wenzhong and the two forensic doctors looked at each other.

It wasn’t that they thought Gao Ze’s method was clumsy, but rather they were surprised by his confidence in finding that killer from over twenty million people in Donghai City.

This was no longer simpler than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Liu Wenzhong took a breath and asked curiously, “Brother Gao, what exactly is your method?”

“Criminal profiling of the killer!”

Gao Ze said, “People who fit the characteristics of this killer are very few among the twenty million in Donghai City, enough to screen him out!”

“You can also find clues about the killer and conduct criminal profiling?”

Liu Wenzhong was incredulous.

He originally thought that Gao Ze’s deduction of the killer’s personality flaws was already the end.

“Of course, aren’t those footprints clues?”

Gao Ze shook his head, pointing to the messy footprints in the mud near the Artificial Lake.

“Which set is the killer’s footprints?”

Liu Wenzhong and the forensic doctors all looked over.
