Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 95: After a Bloody Battle Part 1

It's very late at night.

Lalisa is sitting in the study room by herself staring at the file in front of her.

It's the file that Jungkook got from the Chief today, which is the big case from five years ago. And these are the most detailed information that they can retrieve. Jungkook has already read through them; she hasn't though. She takes a deep breath and opens the file. The title in black color causes her to be stunned slightly.

"4. 20 Massive Serial Killing Case Condensed Records—Public Security Bureau 2009 No. 001 File"

Although it's labeled as "condensed records," it's a very thick file.

Lalisa continues reading.

"Between January 2008 and January 2009, 10 murder cases happened in the city one after the other. The murderer used poison, explosives, dismembering and other methods to kill the victims. The victims included wealthy businessmen, white collars, ordinary citizens, and etcetera, stealing more than a billion RMB of assets. The perpetrator's skill was intricate and careful when committing the crime, making it extremely hard to solve the case. The station suspected that there was an organized group of individuals who plotted and carried out these incidents. The police formed a special investigation team and started investigating."

The report is written in a concise and calm manner but through some of the wording, Lalisa can imagine how the sudden rise of the seven-member organization shocked the police at the time. Even someone like T, who was experienced in plotting, was just the most inexperienced one from the seven-member organization.

"The special investigation team was established: the station's deputy chief Chen Wei Liang Captain Ma Bo Tao of the second criminal investigation team.......

Other criminal investigators' names follow, and Jungkook's name is also among them.

Lalisa stares at those two familiar characters of his name. Her heart feels slightly stuffed It's as if she and Jungkook can finally touch the pain and hurt that has been covered up fo so many years.

"After many months of hard work, the special investigation team had identified preliminary suspects: an estimation of 7-9 core members with 10-15 supporting members. Since the organization possessed heavy firearms, the special investigation team was planning to arrest all the members at once on or around April 20,"

These straightforward words summarize what the special investigation team did.

But the following paragraphs send shivers down her spine:

"April 20, armed forces and the criminal organization were involved in an unexpected gun battle at the location, causing five policemen to die in the line of duty and ten injured. Three members of the criminal organization were also shot dead at the same time.

On the night of April 20, multiple explosions occurred at the special investigation team's location of ambush. Ten or so civilians were killed and/or injured. Deputy Chief Chen Wei Liang and three other criminal investigators lost their lives; Investigator Jungkook was injured severely and was in a coma; five members of the criminal organization were also killed and/or injured. The headquarters of the criminal organization was destroyed, so many of its members attempted to escape.

April 21 to 24, at several locations in the city, a series of murder incidents appeared. The methods used for murdering were similar to previous incidents. Within a few days, ten or so innocent civilians were killed. It was suspected that these remaining members of the criminal organization were provoking and taking revenge on the police.
