“Clap! Clap! Clap!”

Qin Xiaohua stood up and took the lead in clapping. It was at this moment that he finally understood why the mayor had appointed Qin Feng to this case. After listening to his analysis, Qin Xiaohua even had an impulse to keep Qin Feng in his department.

“Clap! Clap! Clap!”

As if the fog in their minds have been dissipated by Qin Xiaohua’s applause, the other policemen immediately stood up and clapped for Qin Feng as well. Their hearts were filled with renewed vigor, and at the same time, they had gained a newfound admiration for Qin Feng.

“Qin Feng, you’re awesome!”

“Qin Feng, you’re really awesome! You really live up to your reputation!”

“It seems that it’s finally time for the new generation to take our place!”

“Qin Feng, I admit that we were being petty earlier, but after hearing your analysis, I now fully understand your verdict!”

“Qin Feng, I’ve never admired anyone in my life, but you’re now my hero!”

“As expected of our local Sherlock Holmes, he’s really amazing!”

“Qin Feng! Qin Feng!”

Everyone spoke one after another, stacking praises non-stop.

Qin Feng scratched his head awkwardly. “I’m really not that amazing. It’s all just luck.”

News of Qin Feng tackling the case of the “Serial Murders of the Red-dressed Brides” spread like wildfire, and before long, it had caused a huge uproar on the internet.

With the fame that Qin Feng had gained from the bank robbery incident, the media would snag up any and every piece of news about him. After all, just a mention of his name alone would increase their viewership exponentially, and there was no way that they would let go of their golden goose.

[ Latest News: Qin Feng is currently working with the Magic Capital Police Department to investigate a serial murder case! ]

[ Qin Feng is tackling a serial murder case head-on! Good news is right around the corner! ]

[ The greatest nightmare of criminals, Qin Feng, is about to usher in a new victory for the side of justice! ]

The exaggerated reports from the major media outlets had once again ushered in a brand new wave of popularity for Qin Feng..

All eyes were now trained on the case, and the netizens on the internet were giving Qin Feng their full support.

“That’s great! Officer Qin Feng will definitely be able to solve this case!”

“Officer Qin Feng, Do your best. We believe that you will definitely bring the bad guys to justice.”

“This is truly a tragic string of murders. Officer Qin Feng, you must catch the murderer and avenge these girls. We believe in you.”

“Officer Qin Feng, I believe in you. You will definitely bring justice to the dead. Do your best!”

“…”

Qin Feng, who was still analyzing the case for the police officers in the conference room, was unaware of the storm brewing outside.

After listening to Qin Feng’s analysis, the case was redefined. It was not just a simple matter of editing a few files, as many of the investigations and evidence collected in the past would have to be re-examined. It was no exaggeration to say that the case would have to be reinvestigated from the beginning. This led many in the conference room to feel anxious.

“No wonder we haven’t been able to find any clues about the murderer. It turned out to be three murderers. Sigh.”

“Fortunately, Qin Feng is on the case now. Otherwise, we would never have realized this, and it might even result in many more innocent lives being lost. Qin Feng is truly an impressive individual. I now see that his fame is well-deserved!”

Although they were somewhat frustrated because the case had been reclassified, the police officers had gained newfound respect towards Qin Feng.

Qin Feng did not have time to linger on the sentiments of the police officers, however. He wanted to solve the case as soon as possible to prevent any new victims from appearing. He quickly looked through the case files and displayed two photos on the big screen.

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

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

Both of them were listed within the list of suspects, but since they had nothing to do with the first two cases, the police were unable to find enough evidence to convict them, and thus, they had to let them off the hook.

However, Qin Feng knew very well that both of them were the actual murderers of the third and fourth cases respectively.

Upon spotting the two’s mugshots earlier, Qin Feng immediately heaved a sigh of relief as their identities had already been discovered in advance, thus reducing his workload.

Meanwhile, the officers in the conference room were rather confused at the sudden display of the two mugshots.

“Qin Feng, why did you take out the photos of Gu Chao and Wei Wu? Are you suspecting them to be the murderers?” Yang Wei asked.

“Yes.” Qin Feng nodded and said with certainty.

“That’s impossible. We did a thorough investigation on the both of them, and we found nothing that would indicate them as the criminals.”

Yang Wei stated. He was not trying to stir up trouble this time, and had genuinely believed what he said to be the truth.

Qin Feng smirked as he scanned the expressions of the puzzled crowd. “Now now, let’s take it slow, shall we? I’ve just confirmed that, although these four cases look similar and appear to have some connection between one another, there are actually three murderers involved in these cases. So, what we should be doing right now is to treat these four cases as three cases, and classify them based on the murderers who committed the crime. Sure, these two individuals might’ve been ruled out as the perpetrators of the first two cases, but what about the remaining two?”

After hearing Qin Feng’s explanation, everyone was stunned speechless. Yes, they were now aware that there were in fact, three murderers involved, and with that in mind, they should no longer treat the four cases as a single serial murder case.

Qin Feng glanced at his enlightened colleagues and stated, “Then, let’s change our strategy. We will turn the ‘Serial Murders of the Red-dressed Brides’ into three separate cases. Case No. 1 and Case No. 2 will now be considered as its own case, and the perpetrator of this case will be known as Murderer No. 1; Case No. 3, which was carried out by a copycat, will now be known as Case No. 2 and carried out by Murderer No. 2; and lastly, Case No. 4 as well as its murderer will be tagged with the No. 3 instead. With this in mind, we will also divide ourselves into three separate teams, which will share information with one another, but would otherwise investigate these incidents on their own. Any objections?”

“No, no, I think it’s good.”

“It’s good, I agree!”

“I agree too!”

Everyone expressed their agreement.

Qin Feng looked at Qin Xiaohua and asked, “Chief Qin, are you fine with this change in structure?”

Qin Xiaohua smiled and said, “You’re the person in charge of this case, you decide.”

“Okay, then it’s settled. Next, I’ll talk about the distribution of personnel in each group…”

After receiving Qin Xiaohua’s consent, Qin Feng immediately moved on to the next phase of his plan.

There were a total of eleven officers present, and thus, Qin Feng had divided them into three groups. The first group and the third group both consisted of four members, whereas the second group was assigned three members. The reason that Qin Feng had assigned less personnel to the second case was because he had already sorted out most of the details for the bus case, and thus, he decided to place more emphasis on the first and third cases instead.

Everyone had recognized Qin Feng’s abilities now, and thus, they had no objections to their restructuring.

Following this, Qin Feng then led the first group to reorganize the case files within the conference room, whereas the second group began looking into the deceased’s connections in society, and the third group would start looking into the suspects that Qin Feng had shown earlier..
