One night five years ago, Hu Genzhu once hid behind a tree by a dirt road near an elementary school close to his hometown, ambushing a young female teacher walking home at night.
According to case records, his method of attack was almost identical to the assault method used in the case of two female workers attacked at the factory back then.
The victims were all young women walking alone at night in remote areas, and the attack method was also a heavy blow to the back of the head with a blunt instrument.
But heaven had eyes, for a male teacher happened to be nearby at the time, heard the female teacher's screams, and immediately shouted loudly, calling out several male teachers who were staying at the school.
They chased with flashlights, pursuing for over a mile until a small river blocked their path.
