Chapter 37: We will Definitely Catch the Murderer

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Feng was sorting out the clues about the first case with his team members. All of them were well aware just how dangerous the first murderer was.

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door.

“Please come in!” Qin Feng shouted.

A young policeman rushed in and turned towards Qin Feng, “Sorry to disturb everyone. Officer Qin Feng, we’ve suddenly gotten a lot of reporters gathering outside the station. They wish to see you, and we aren’t able to chase them away. The Bureau Chief wants you to deal with them.”

“Okay, I got it. I’m sorry to have troubled you.”

Qin Feng gave a wry smile once he heard the policeman’s words. He sighed and told the others, “I’ll head out to take a look. Carry on with the discussion.”

The young policeman happily led Qin Feng to the entrance.

There were a lot of reporters surrounding the Magic Capital Police Department. Everyone was waiting for their local Sherlock Holmes to appear. Their eyes were fixed on the main entrance of the station, and they were ready to charge forward at a moment’s notice.

“Look, look, he’s here! He’s here!”

Someone shouted, and everyone immediately rushed forward.

Although there were other policemen maintaining order on the scene, Qin Feng was still immediately surrounded by the reporters, talk about a wild fanbase.

“Officer Qin Feng, can you tell us more about the case?”

“Officer Qin Feng, how far has the case progressed? When can we catch the murderer?”

“Officer Qin Feng, please tell us your views on this case. Are you confident that you’ll be able to solve it?”

The reporters fired a flurry of questions at Qin Feng, as they were afraid to miss this golden opportunity before them.

Qin Feng looked at his colleagues who were doing their best to keep the reporters away. Feeling a sense of discomfort, he then raised his hand and stated, “Dear reporters, could you please quiet down for a moment to let me speak?”

Silence immediately fell as all reporters trained their cameras on Qin Feng.

Qin Feng thought for a moment before opening his mouth and announcing, “Dear reporters, thank you for showing much interest in this case. However, according to standard operating procedures, we cannot disclose any details of the case for the time being. I hope that you’ll understand. What I can promise, however, is that we will solve this case as soon as possible, and bring justice to the deceased by capturing the murderer of the case. This is a promise that we, the Magic Capital Police Department will guarantee. I hope that everyone can give us their full support and trust us in handling this matter.” 

“We believe in all of you!”

“Yeah, you can definitely do it.”

All the reporters applauded in response. Although they did not receive any particularly important information regarding the case, Qin Feng’s resolute reply had given them enough content to write their next article.

“Also, one more thing. I know that everyone is very concerned about this case, but this is a police station. I’d appreciate it if you would not gather around this area. Please make way, I need to return to sort out the information regarding this case.”

With that, Qin Feng turned around and returned to the station.

“Officer Qin Feng, you have our full support. You will definitely catch the murderer.”

“Officer Qin Feng, you must take revenge for the dead and get justice for them!”

“Officer Qin Feng, go and teach the murderer a lesson!”

A few female reporters shouted at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng turned around and said to them, “Don’t worry, we will not let the murderer go free.”

After giving one last wave at the reporters, Qin Feng then returned to the conference room.

…

Without realizing it, Qin Feng and the others had been sorting out information in the conference room for the entire day.

Throughout the day, Qin Feng analyzed and integrated the existing clues, whilst eliminating those he had deemed useless.

Qin Feng had a deep impression of the first murderer. Although the murderer looked very gentle, from the way he killed his victims without mercy, and from the way he turned a blind eye to the victims’ pleas… He was certain that the murderer was the devil incarnate.

“Qin Feng, good news! Gu Chao and Wei Wu have been caught! Upon obtaining enough proof from their investigations, team two and three went straight to the killers’ homes and searched them. It was there that they discovered the tools used to commit the crime!”

Yang Wei pushed open the door of the conference room and exclaimed happily.

“That’s great! Where are they now?”

Qin Feng was momentarily stunned by the news. He did not expect their capture to happen this soon.

“Gu Qing and the others are bringing them here right this instant.” Yang Wei answered.

Qin Feng stood up. After tidying the table, he then instructed, “Get ready, we’ll interrogate them once they return.”

Yang Wei nodded. His admiration for Qin Feng rose to another level,

‘Is there any connection between the three murderers? If there is, why isn’t there any evidence tying them together? If there’s no connection, then does it mean that it’s all a coincidence? Could there really be such an improbable level coincidence?’ 

As Qin Feng tidied up his things, his mind spun wildly.

Suddenly, he spotted Gu Chao and Wei Wu’s information from the corner of his eye.

Gu Chao: male, 27 years old, local, works for the Pingjing Group.

Wei Wu: male, 40 years old, local, runs his own deli.

‘What connection could a 20-something-year-old youth have with a 40-year-old self-employed merchant? Their places of residence and workplace are completely different. They don’t even frequent the same supermarkets. Why would they choose to imitate this case?’

Qin Feng thought for a moment and decided that there was likely some kind of middleman communicating between them. Otherwise, their crimes should not be this similar.

“Yang Wei.”

Qin Feng called out to Yang Wei, who was still tidying up the information. He needed Yang Wei to help him out with something.

“What’s wrong, Qin Feng?”

Yang Wei walked over and asked Qin Feng.

“Please help me check whether Gu Chao shares any contacts with Wei Wu, or whether they frequent the same online forums. Look for anything that they could possibly use to communicate with one another! Quickly!”

Qin Feng instructed Yang Wei.

Yang Wei instantly replied, “Okay, I’ll look into it right away!”

‘I’ll definitely catch you! I’ll personally see to it that you face justice!’

Qin Feng looked at the information in his hands and recalled the face of the first murderer face of the first murderer.

Suddenly, Qin Feng’s phone rang. The caller ID indicated that it was Mu Qianqian.

Qin Feng looked at the caller ID and his lips curled into a smile. After picking up the call, he teased, “Oh hello, my beloved Mu Qianqian. To what do I owe the pleasure of this call?”

“Hello, Qin Feng, how’s your case going along? When can I expect you to return?”

Mu Qianqian’s sweet voice came from the phone.

Qin Feng chuckled and said, “What’s wrong? I’ve only been gone for a day and you already miss me? As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, are you starting to fall for me?”

Mu Qianqian’s call made Qin Feng slightly more relaxed.

1. There are no plural terms in Chinese, and I can’t be certain whether Qin Feng uses the term ‘murderers’ or ‘murderer’ here, but I’m inclined to believe it’s the latter..
