Chapter 15: Off-campus sex maniac
Gu Xia quickly informed the local police, who rushed to the dormitory where "Young Master Murong" was staying to ensure her safety, while Wang Zheng and four others arrived at around four o'clock.
"Are you Young Master Murong?" Wang Zheng pushed the door open and was a little surprised to see the female student sitting on the bed with disheveled hair and wearing cartoon pajamas.
From the outside, she is just a little girl under 20 years old. Children of this age usually have some strange online names, and very few girls would call themselves "young hero".
"Her name is Du Zheng, she's 19 years old." Gao Feng, who came in later, coughed and quietly pulled Wang Zheng aside and said, "I talked to you before you came. She secretly took the photo of you at the back door of the auditorium that day. Her purpose was to become an Internet celebrity and promote her own online store."
"You have quite a business mind." Bai Ling chuckled on the side.
"Isn't that how it is on the Internet now? First, find a way to create a hot topic, and then sell some things , get some advertising endorsements, and be self-reliant." Huamei whispered.
"In our era, doing these things would lead to isolation, and the more famous you become, the worse it is." Gu Xia sighed.
"You guys go out first. I'll ask her first." Wang Zheng waved to them. After everyone in the room had left, he moved a chair and sat beside the bed. He asked, "Du Zheng?"
Du Zheng was a little dazed and seemed not to hear Wang Zheng calling her.
"Young Master Murong!" Wang Zheng suddenly said.
"Who?" Du Zheng was startled. Just as she reacted, she turned around and saw Wang Zheng's smiling face. She immediately shrank into the corner in fear, "You...you are the person in the auditorium!"
"My name is Wang Zheng." Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Tell me what happened to you just now and why did you suddenly post a message asking for help?"
"I..." Du Zheng's face suddenly turned pale, "I was followed to the apartment today."
"Following?" Wang Zheng suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "Is it the pervert outside the school mentioned in the post?"
Du Zheng nodded, and her expression turned ugly.
The "off-campus sex maniac" is undoubtedly a nightmare for female students at Southwest University. People have posted about it in various posts on the campus forum, and even mentioned it in Du Zheng's post.
According to the students who posted the message, this "off-campus sex maniac" is a legendary figure at Southwest University. He first appeared six or seven years ago, and his method of committing crimes was very peculiar. He would first identify the target in a corner and then begin to follow the students.
When he found that the student he was following was alone, he would immediately approach the student and then stuff a pair of wet underwear into the student's bag or even pocket. Many students even said that the pervert had followed them back to school, and that the students would see a figure on the balcony in the middle of the night.
"Where is the underwear he stuffed in your mouth?" Wang Zheng thought of this and asked quickly.
"On the table..." Du Zheng pointed at the table with a disgusted expression.
Wang Zheng turned his head and saw that there was indeed a pair of wet underwear lying on the table behind him, and there was also a slight unpleasant smell coming from the underwear.
"What's that smell?" Du Zheng asked.
"Semen." Wang Zheng shook his head and asked, "Did you see a figure on the windowsill later?"
"Yeah." Du Zheng nodded hurriedly, "I was looking at the replies at the time... I just wanted to relax on the windowsill, and when I looked up, I saw him... He was looking at me."
"But you didn't mention the facial features." Wang Zheng asked, flipping through the notebook Gao Feng left for him.
"I can't see clearly..." Du Zheng tried to recall for a while, and quickly said: "At that time, I only saw his eyes. It seemed that he only had eyes."
"Maybe he's disguised." Wang Zheng knew he wouldn't get any results, so he stood up from his chair, pinched the underwear on the table, and said, "I'll take this back for testing. I'll let you know when I have any news."
"Wait a minute!" Du Zheng saw Wang Zheng was about to leave, so she quickly got out of bed and said, "Officer Wang...can you send someone to protect me? I'm afraid he will come looking for me again."
"No." Wang Zheng shook his head.
"I... I can delete the post! Really!" Du Zheng was afraid that Wang Zheng would not believe her, so she quickly picked up her notebook and said, "As long as you promise me, you can delete it now. You can also delete the video on your phone."
"In fact, posting is your freedom." Wang Zheng was silent for a while, then said, "Whether you are doing it for profit or for something else, since you have already posted and spread it, it is meaningless for me to ask you to delete it. And one more thing, Mr. Du, it's not that we don't protect you, but he committed the crime casually and did not pose a threat to your life. If we send someone to protect you, it would be a waste of police resources."
"Then what do you want in exchange for protecting me?" Du Zheng panicked and said again, "I... I have clues about the murderer in the auditorium!"
"We will find the clues ourselves." Wang Zheng shook his head, turned and left Du Zheng's dormitory.
"What a heartless person." Gao Feng stood at the door and shook his head.
"What a mess?" Wang Zheng was speechless. A little guess would tell him that Gao Feng must have been eavesdropping at the door.
"The little girl asked you to protect her, but you remained indifferent. You are so heartless." Gao Feng pretended to be sorry and continued, "With such a good opportunity, you should at least ask her to delete the post."
"Yeah, why don't you go and protect her?" Wang Zheng joked.
"Forget it. The task force is not done yet. I don't have time to protect her." Gao Feng shook his head quickly, and then asked, "Are you sure you don't want to know the clues that little girl said?"
"I already know." Wang Zheng pointed to his head and said , "The Internet is really a magical thing."
"What do you mean?" Gao Feng asked.
"Let's go back and check the posts. Then we'll get busy. I don't think we'll get a good night's sleep these days." Wang Zheng sighed and left the girls' dormitory with Gao Feng.
When the two returned to the forensic room, Gu Xia and the other two were already waiting there. Wang Zheng gave the evidence to Bai Ling and asked her to do some testing first, then turned around and started discussing it with the other three.
"I monitored the forum overnight and got more clues than I thought." Wang Zheng paused and continued, "According to the current clues, a similar case happened in a high school in Southwest Province a few years ago."
Wang Zheng sorted out the information he received last night, and then spoke to the three people.
The post by "Mr. Murong" was very popular and contained a lot of mixed information, but one of the replies was indeed closely related to the case. Three years ago, a homicide occurred at the High School Affiliated to Southwest University, and the victim was a female high school student.
The murderer's behavior was undoubtedly the same as that of the murderer in the auditorium this time. However, what was strange was that the female victim was not dismembered and beheaded. Instead, she was pierced through the back with a thick fishing line. Her clothes were neatly hung on the fan, like a dancing butterfly.
"It's not an isolated case." Gu Xia was feeling a little depressed. "I will now contact the local police to find out where the case is. The time span between the two cases is too long, but they have something in common. It can basically be confirmed that they were committed by the same murderer."
Wang Zheng nodded, thought for a while and continued, "This clue cannot be ignored. Gao Feng and I will go to Chen Shuai's university tutor to learn about the situation. Maybe we can get something out of it."
"What about the pervert outside the school?" Huamei frowned. As a woman, she could not stand hearing such a thing.
"The suspect is probably around 30 years old, between 175 and 178 cm tall, thin, and has a history of theft. He should be employed on campus, and he must be familiar with the surveillance cameras near the school, and he is also very clear about the distribution of channels on campus." Wang Zheng said.
"Let the local police handle this matter." Gu Xia pondered for a while and continued, "Our focus now is mainly on the case of the auditorium. The higher-ups have said that they will give us three days at most."
"Three days..." Gao Feng was a little unhappy, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"This matter is fermenting too quickly in society." Gu Xia glanced at Wang Zheng meaningfully, then said, "We are under a lot of pressure."
