Half an hour later, in front of the cremation room of Beigang City Funeral Home.
A tall man wearing a blue T-shirt came to Zhao Yu with hurried steps, stood at attention and saluted: "Beigang City Criminal Police Brigade Captain Fang Kaiyu is here to report! Please give instructions from the leader!"
"Oh...it turns out to be Captain Fang! We talked on the phone before." Zhao Yu shook hands with this person and asked, "How is it? Is there any progress with the suspect?"
"Report to the leader, we have searched Bai Lang's residence, and he has escaped! There are traces of packing items at home, and the technical team is investigating the scene..."
Um…
Zhao Yu nodded silently, his prediction was good, this person had indeed absconded.
“The suspect has strong anti-tracking capabilities,” Captain Fang added, “He withdrew the bank card deposits in advance and changed his mobile phone card, making it impossible for us to conduct effective tracking!
"However, please don't worry, leader!" Fang Kaiyu assured, "We have begun to trace and control Bai Lang's interpersonal relationships, and have issued a province-wide arrest warrant and are working hard to arrest him!"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu nodded and asked, "So... can you briefly tell me about Bai Lang's information?"
"Bai Lang is from Guangdong. He is 27 years old. He came to the capital of Fulai Province to work three years ago. He worked as a courier and a bartender. Two years ago, he suddenly came to work in a funeral parlor in Beigang City. He is a contract worker and has been working ever since. He is not married and has no Girlfriend, he is the only one here in Beigang City!"
"You just used the word 'suddenly'!" Zhao Yu said, "It seems that you also think there is something fishy in it!"
"The director of the funeral home just explained," said the young Fang Kaiyu, who was very energetic and spoke sharply, "he said that Bai Lang's application was the decision of a leader of the Civil Affairs Bureau, not him alone!
"So, I have sent someone to ask for the leader, and there will be news soon!"
"Very good! But besides that..." Zhao Yu said steadily, "I also need you to investigate more information about Bai Lang, especially his movements after obtaining the body. If you can find the people he contacted at that time, , it is very likely to find his seller or accomplice!"
"Understood!" Fang Kaiyu nodded emphatically, and then assigned tasks to his men.
"Officer Zhao!" At this time, Xiong Wendong came up and whispered, "The director of the funeral home said that although cremating corpses is an important job, one person can complete it!
"Then Bai Lang is familiar with the process. For a long time, the task of cremating corpses was completed by him alone! But..." Xiong Wendong asked curiously, "Why do you say that he has accomplices in the funeral home?"
"Leader!" Unexpectedly, before Zhao Yu could answer, another police officer from the technical team responsible for inspecting the cremator waved and said, "Come and take a look. I found a mezzanine in the cremator..."
After learning the news, Zhao Yu hurriedly came to the cremator to take a look, but saw that the police officer was reaching out to pull an iron plate in the cremator, and there was clearly a dark and deep space under the iron plate!
"Here!" The police officer pulled the iron plate and introduced, "The suspect installed a rotating shaft. After the body is brought in, the rotating shaft rotates and the body will fall into the safe mezzanine and will not be burned by the fire!"
"Ah?" Xiong Wendong scratched his head, "But... what to do with the ashes? Won't the family become suspicious if they find there are no ashes on the cremation board?"
"No!" the technical police officer explained, "After the body is burned, the collection of ashes is all done by the funeral home, and the family members cannot see it at all!"
"Oh..." Xiong Wendong nodded, "So, the suspect can use something similar to ashes, just put it in the urn, and then it's done? How unethical!
"Aren't you afraid of retribution by deceiving the feelings of the deceased's family and doing such a sinful thing?"
"Young man..." Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu asked the police officer from the technical department, "Do you personally think it is easy to build such a mechanism?"
"Well..." The technical police officer glanced at the incinerator, shook his head and said, "It's not easy! You see... a space needs to be cleared here. In order to ensure that the body is not damaged by the temperature of the flames, he needs to make a half-meter long The slide slides the body into the innermost part...
"There is also this kind of rotating shaft. After the body is sent to the incinerator, the family members watch outside. Of course, manual rotation cannot be done. It must be remotely controlled..."
"Oh..." Xiong Wendong asked Zhao Yu, "Officer Zhao, do you mean that an accomplice helped Bai Lang complete it
"But... this accomplice is not necessarily an insider of the funeral home, right? Maybe someone from outside came to help him install it?"
"It's not just a problem with the cremator!" Zhao Yu said, "There's also surveillance video!"
"Ah? Surveillance video?" Xiong Wendong was even more puzzled.
"Have you ever thought about it..." Zhao Yu said, "Bai Lang has so much time and such good conditions. If he wants to do this perfectly, why not process the video
"Since the mechanism in the cremator is so exquisite and ingenious, then at least the surveillance probe should be turned off when stealing the body? But he... why didn't he turn it off?"
"Hmm..." Xiong Wendong guessed, "Maybe he is very confident and thinks that no one will see through his activities? Is it impossible that anyone will check the surveillance video?"
"But it's also possible..." Zhao Yu said seriously, "Someone wants to expose him deliberately so that all the police's eyes will be fixed on Bai Lang, thus ignoring him?"
"Oh my God!" Xiong Wendong was horrified. "If I really tell you this, then it's possible that Bai Lang has been killed and silenced! Don't worry, leave the interrogation of his accomplices to me!
"We have taken control of all the staff of the funeral home. We will take turns to interrogate and check each person's information in detail. If there is such an accomplice, we must find him out!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded, "I have transferred Wu Xiumin back. She is an expert in interrogation. When the time comes, she will have full command and you will assist!"
"Yes!" Xiong Wendong nodded vigorously.
"Huh..." Zhao Yu took a long breath. Although the case was already somewhat clear, he didn't feel at all relaxed.
Through all the signs in front of him, Zhao Yu felt more and more that this group of mysterious criminals was much smarter than he imagined!
Bai Lang has disappeared. If Bai Lang himself, his accomplices or sellers cannot be found, then everything will be back to where it started!
so…
The "Qian Gen" hexagram cannot be revealed in vain. At this moment, I can't wait where I am. I must strike while the iron is hot and solve another mystery!
