Chapter 1049 Major Crimes Unit Serial Cases

Zhao Xiaowan’s remains can finally rest in peace.

The relevant case materials still need further preparation and refinement concerning the specific details of Gao Feng’s murder, although these have been clarified now, but Gao Feng must still be taken to the scene for identification.

Lu Chuan, the deputy director of the High-tech Zone, does not need to be involved here; Wang Zhaokai and the others will naturally handle these matters well.

In fact, although the investigation of this case seems simple, it is actually very challenging.

First is that too much time has passed, making it not easy to investigate Zhao Xiaowan’s interpersonal relationships back in the day.

In addition, there were no eyewitnesses or monitoring at the crime scene, and the body had become skeletal.

Therefore, the specific details of Gao Feng’s murder at that time cannot be verified through circumstantial evidence and could only be supported through Lu Chuan’s forensic analysis of the skull wounds on the remains.

Actually, the most crucial factor in the process of solving this case was Lu Chuan’s forensic analysis of the skull wound marks.

The results of the forensic analysis immediately led the police to focus on Gao Feng.

Wang Zhaokai also determined that Gao Feng was lying during the interrogation based on this analysis result.

Since Gao Feng has now completely confessed to the entire process of the crime.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhaokai took Gao Feng directly to the scene for identification.

The villagers in Nangang Village surrounded the area, all watching the commotion.

Lu Chuan, on the other hand, returned to the High-tech Zone substation.

New Year’s Day had just passed, and the Spring Festival was approaching, with more and more meetings at the substation in the High-tech Zone.

Lu Chuan had just concluded the case and reported the situation to the branch director and then to the City Bureau.

Shen Yan had also reached her due date, which was expected to be in these few days.

Three days before the Spring Festival, on the 27th of January, Shen Yan was admitted to the maternity ward.

That night, Shen Yan and Lu Chuan welcomed a baby boy.

"Haha, I have a son!"

Lu Chuan carefully held his son, feeling an inexplicable mix of emotions.

Since his rebirth, Lu Chuan had been working in his dream job, catching criminals and solving major cases, gradually becoming a criminal investigation expert at Haizhou City Public Security Bureau.

Moreover, during this period, he had found love, and now the fruit of that love—a baby son.

"You will be called Lu Mingxuan from now on!"

Lu Chuan’s son is the first of the remaining third generation in the Lu Family, though not the eldest son or grandson, he is the first grandson of the second generation of the Lu Family.

Lu Chuan’s father, uncle, and grandfather all came to the hospital.

Dozens of the family members were waiting to hear this little guy’s cry.

From today on, the Lu Family had its fourth generation.

"Tomorrow, the whole group will give out red envelopes!"

Lu Chuan’s grandfather, Lu Jianguo, waved his hand, distributing red envelopes worth tens of millions.

However, the most excited one was still Lu Chuan’s father, Lu Qiqiang.

Having become a grandfather, he immediately gave the eldest grandson a red envelope worth thirty million.

The wealthy have a simple way of expressing happiness and love—just give money.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan sighed slightly, acknowledging that being born into a family is indeed a skill.

He doesn’t count since he was reborn.

This Spring Festival, the Lu Family experienced a considerable atmosphere of joy; everyone was happy and pleased with the fourth generation, continuing the family’s legacy without interruption.

Despite marrying late, Lu Chuan had children early; upon seeing this, several others in the third generation hurried up, with many now pregnant.

By next year, the fourth generation of the Lu Family should see seven or eight children born.

During the Spring Festival, Lu Chuan’s workload was a bit easier.

Every Spring Festival, the grassroots police stations face significant pressure because of increased drinking, gatherings, and disturbances.

However, the Criminal Investigation Team here was relatively better, and the High-tech Zone substation only kept duty personnel, experiencing a very smooth Spring Festival.

But on the day before returning to work, the sixth day of the new year, Lu Chuan received a call from the provincial serious crime squad.

The call was personally made by Li Donglin, saying the serious crime squad encountered a major case and asked everyone to gather immediately.

Lu Chuan dared not delay, though he didn’t know the case, Li Donglin’s urgency indicated it must be an extraordinary matter.

Now that the Spring Festival was almost over, Shen Yan naturally didn’t need him to worry too much, as the family had arranged special care.

He carefully picked up his son and kissed his forehead.

The son took after the mother, as is the case with Lu Mingxuan, with eyes resembling Shen Yan’s.

With gentle eyes, Lu Chuan bid farewell to Shen Yan and embarked on his journey.

Shen Yan was already prepared for Lu Chuan’s busy work schedule.

Besides, she herself was a forensic doctor, and the impact Lu Chuan had in Haizhou City over the years could equate to an entire criminal investigation team.

Since Lu Chuan started working, no major cold cases had occurred in Haizhou City.

Although it’s not all Lu Chuan’s credit, his contributions to major case investigations are evident to everyone.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been promoted so quickly, rising from an ordinary criminal police officer to the deputy director of the district public security bureau within three or four years.

Provincial capital.

When Lu Chuan arrived, two members of the serious crime team were still on their way; Wang Song and Song Mingguang were relatively close, so they arrived faster.

"Director Li!"

The conference room was already filled with many documents, and Li Donglin’s eyes showed signs of fatigue, clearly having rested little for a while.

Seeing Lu Chuan, Li Donglin’s spirit lifted.

"Lu Chuan has arrived, please have a seat first."

He then had someone pour Lu Chuan a cup of tea, continuing, "The remaining two are on the road, they’ll arrive in about half an hour; we’ll discuss the case situation together when they arrive."

Lu Chuan nodded.

Although it was still the Spring Festival period, there was no festive atmosphere in the provincial administrative office.

On his way here, Lu Chuan observed that the administrative office was fully staffed; everyone was very busy.

Moreover, many appeared fatigued, with red eyes signifying that they had been working overtime, possibly throughout the entire Spring Festival with no break.

Wang Song arrived early, nudged Lu Chuan’s shoulder, and briefly explained the situation.

"We received the report on the second day of the new year, regarding the serial murder case in Dongzhou City."

Lu Chuan was taken aback.

"The serial murder case in Dongzhou City?"

What’s the situation?

How could it be the serial murder case in Dongzhou City?

These cases are not only known to Lu Chuan; it’s safe to say that no criminal investigator in the provincial capital is unaware of Dongzhou’s serial murders.

Lu Chuan studied these specific case details during his police academy days.

This is an unsolved cold case, and the killer... has struck again?!
