Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

As a strong economic city, Ning'an has five subdistricts. Apart from Xiangjiang Subdistrict, the remaining four are very easy to remember, namely the four subdistricts of the east, south, west and north.

Of the five streets, Xiangjiang Street is the most bustling. Even on a hot July afternoon, the square in front of Xiangjiang Hotel, one of the street's landmark buildings, is still crowded with people.

Suddenly, a scream pierced the sweltering air.

As mentioned earlier, once an emergency call is received, the command center will immediately notify all relevant units based on the location of the incident.

Upon receiving the call, Dai Yan immediately instructed Wang Chao to give a shout, and a large team quickly assembled, boarded the police car again, and headed straight for the scene.

The atmosphere in the carriage was heavy; all traces of the earlier laughter and chatter had vanished, and everyone's face was tense.

It braked suddenly and then came to a stop.

The destination has arrived.

Zhou Yang glanced outside, then habitually took out a police cordon from the trunk, and together with the police officers at the scene, cordoned off the area.

Zhou Yang remembered this case; he had encountered it in his previous life, but it was never solved. Although the 7.6 task force was established, it was eventually disbanded. When the case was transferred to the provincial department, they didn't even know the identity of the first victim.

When Zhou Yang was in the provincial department, he had carefully analyzed this case. The Ning'an Criminal Investigation Team's approach was the standard procedure at that time, but if it wasn't solved, it wasn't solved. The public wouldn't think the criminals were cunning; they would just think the team was incompetent.

"What's wrong? You haven't looked too good the whole way here!" Xiao Jiale leaned closer to Zhou Yang and handed him a pair of protective gear.

"It's nothing, I just feel like these are turbulent times!" Zhou Yang sighed.

After all, so much time had passed that many memories had become hazy. He felt it was necessary to record the case files in his mind in a language he could understand.

That way, things won't be like today, where it wasn't until after getting on the bus, through a series of recollections, and after getting off and seeing the scene, that we were able to determine which incident it was.

If he had written it down himself, like in today's case, he could have come earlier to stake out the place and would have had a high probability of witnessing the murderer. Although he might not have been able to stop or prevent the crime, he should at least have been able to provide the investigation with a general direction.

Perhaps only in this way will he be able to feel the meaning of rebirth again!

The 7.6 Doll Case, also known as the 7.6 Serial Model Murder Case, involved the murderer killing four women and severing their limbs and heads, which were then attached to mannequins. However, the torsos were never found.

After evaluation by experts from the provincial department, it was determined that he was an extremely calm suspect. He was paranoid, appeared to be an ordinary person, and had a high probability of appearing on the police's shortlist more than once, but he had evaded it time and time again.

In the 7.6 case, because the first victim was discovered on July 7.6, and before the police had found the source of the body, the second victim appeared on July 7.8, and two more victims appeared on July 7.10.

All the victims had their limbs attached to mannequins, except for the first victim whose identity remains unknown.

"Zhou Yang!" Liu Chengyu called out, and Zhou Yang immediately ran to him.

"This is Old Song from the local police station, and this is the person who reported the incident. Do you have any questions for us?" Liu Chengyu said, while Old Song looked at Zhou Yang with curiosity in his eyes.

He had worked with Liu Chengyu on many projects before, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone so accommodating to a young man. However, he knew Liu Chengyu's temperament well, and this guy was definitely not someone who had come down from above to get a degree. There was only one explanation—this kid had real talent.

Old Song hurriedly stretched out his hands: "Comrade Zhou Yang, right? Just call me Old Song. I'm from the Xiangjiang Street Police Station!"

Zhou Yang extended his right hand and shook hands with the other person: "Hello, Lao Song, I'm Zhou Yang."

Then, he focused his attention on the person who had called the police. The person looked to be in his thirties and was constantly wiping the sweat from his face with a handkerchief. His right hand, which was holding a teacup, was trembling slightly.

"Officer, I'm the one who reported this. My name is Jiao Fengfan. I left this hotel this morning and was just passing by when I suddenly saw someone lying here. I...I...I came over out of curiosity, and when I peeked in, ugh..."

As the witness, whose surname was Fengfan, was speaking, he turned his head and vomited. A sour, rotten smell quickly filled the air, making one feel sticky all over in the hot air.

"It's okay, it's normal the first time. You'll get used to it after a while!" Xiao Jiale walked over, patted the person who reported the incident on the arm generously, and then casually glanced at him... Ugh, ugh...

Zhou Yang had no interest in laughing at the other party. The testimonies of the person who reported the crime in the previous life and the person who reported the crime now were almost identical. If there was any reference value, it was the fixed time.

The last time I looked at the case file was a few years after I went to the provincial department to clear my master's name, which must have been more than ten years ago.

However, it has been nearly thirty years since the last time I saw the scene. It was as if my two selves from different lifetimes overlapped at this moment, and the victim's face, which the murderer could have sliced ​​off, was also completely superimposed on it at this moment.

No wonder Xiao Jiale couldn't stand it. In his previous life, Zhou Yang also vomited for a long time, even bringing up his bile. Perhaps this memory was too vivid, and his brain activated a protective mechanism. If he didn't focus on recalling it, he would have almost forgotten about it on ordinary days.

"Why aren't you throwing up?" Liu Chengyu saw that the person who reported the incident had finished vomiting, but after glancing at Xiao Jiale's appearance, he started vomiting again...

"Maybe I have a slow reaction time!" Zhou Yang replied casually, then squatted down in front of the corpse to see if he could find any clues not recorded in the case file.

"Zhou kid, you really aren't coming to the technical team with me?" Zhou Yang felt a light tap on his shoulder, and from the voice, he knew it was Wang Zhenhai.

"Cough cough... How are you?" Before Zhou Yang could reply, he felt himself stagger. Liu Chengyu, who was sandwiched between the two of them, turned to ask Wang Zhenhai.

Having partnered with him for so many years, he knew his partner's personality all too well. Old Wang was definitely not joking; he was genuinely interested. This kind of thinking was not good, and he needed to nip it in the bud.

"What do you mean, 'how is it'? The entire head has been shaved off, leaving only bits of flesh, and all ten fingerprints have been burned off. What do you say?" Wang Zhenhai replied irritably.

"Can you tell the gender?" Liu Chengyu pressed.

"Is there even a need to look?" Wang Chao pinched his nose and leaned closer. "Not much body hair, the deceased should be female..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang sensed trouble was brewing and quickly pulled Wang Chao aside, signaling him to shut up.

As expected, Wang Zhenhai immediately became agitated upon hearing this: "Who said you can distinguish between men and women by body hair? This is a serious matter, how can you be so careless and perfunctory!"

Don't be fooled by Wang Zhenhai's usual cheerful demeanor and apparent interest only in corpses. If you say anything that displeases him or seems unprofessional, he'll immediately turn on you, and it won't be easy to appease him for a long time.

In their past life, it was because Wang Chao frequently examined corpses at the scene that Wang Zhenhai was always on the verge of losing his guard. It wasn't until the very end that Liu Chengyu put him in the team to answer the phone, just to prevent the two of them from arguing again.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Chao ignored Wang Zhenhai, who was still chattering, and asked Zhou Yang, who was looking around in confusion.

"Murderer!"
