"Captain Lin, please give us a way out! It took millions to open up sales channels in the city. You posted this Weibo. Today, hundreds of agents called to cancel the cooperation and return the retailer. Even more so, we have lost millions!"
In the reception room of the Public Security Bureau, the legal representative and sales manager sent by the company said in tears.
Lin Qiupu said: "There is really no way. Some criminals use your beverages to commit crimes. In an emergency, we must take the personal safety of citizens as our primary consideration."
The legal representative said: "Then thousands of people up and down in our company are not dead? The whole factory stopped production today. I don't know when production will resume. The workers asked us why we should stop production. We couldn't answer. Only four people died. That's it, how many thousands of people are you going to starve to death?"
The sales manager said: "Yes, what your police are doing now is what the righteous criminals are in the hands of. He is going to harm our company and cause us to go bankrupt!"
Lin Qiupu looked helpless. The other party thought he was indifferent and he was going to kneel on the spot. Lin Qiupu said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, in this situation, I can only and must do the same. I promise you that I will post on Weibo when things pass. Restore your factory’s reputation."
"It was already late then."
"It's late now." The two had sad faces.
After finally sending the two representatives away, Lin Qiupu felt a sense of burnout. He returned to the meeting room. It was past noon. Many police officers came back. Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi also came in. Lin Dongxue waved his wrist to Chen Shi. He smiled and said, "Twisting the cap all morning, my hands are sore."
Lin Qiupu sighed secretly, if possible, I would also like to screw the bottle cap.
"Let's summarize your findings!" Lin Qiupu said.
"Three bottles were found in the new department store and Fumanjia supermarket... This is an invoice."
"Carrefour on Zhonglian Road found a bottle... This is an invoice."
Lin Qiupu marked them on the map one by one, looking at the final result, he said: "It seems that the suspect has not planted the'bomb' in the whole city. He is only active in these two districts."
Chen Shi said: "The Public Security Bureau is also in this area, he is not brave!"
Lin Qiupu gave him a blank look, "Are there any suggestions?"
Chen Shi walked to the map and said, "Look here, and here... These are all highways, and they are very close in a straight line, but if you drive, you have to go around a lot, from the suspect’s mobility to plant a bomb. Look, he probably didn't drive a car, but walked. According to the crime geography, his hiding place might be here..." Chen Shishi drew a circle using a compass and took a thumbtack to mark the center of the circle.
"Okay, let's search here now!" Lin Qiupu said.
The police officers immediately set off and came to those streets to conduct door-to-door searches, focusing on some private rental houses. The search lasted for three hours. At sunset, Xu Xiaodong said on the radio: "Hey, I found it!"
"Xiaodong, pay attention to radio order!" Lin Qiupu roared.
"This is Xu Xiaodong. I found a suspicious house at No. 31 Chunhua Street. There are so many bottles in it... Let me go!" Suddenly Xu Xiaodong's voice was submerged by a burst of explosions. It took about a second before it was transmitted from a distance. There was an explosion, and there was gunpowder billowing out of one of the buildings.
Police scattered in various places rushed there immediately, and Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi, who were relatively close, found the unit building first, and crowds of unknown conditions stood below them.
Lin Dongxue rushed into the building and tapped the elevator button a few times, but the elevator never came down, so she had to climb up the stairs with Chen Shi.
Climbing up to the 20th floor in one breath, Lin Dongxue shouted: "Xiaodong, Xiaodong."
"I'm here..." Xu Xiaodong coughed after speaking.
The corridor was full of soot and visibility was extremely low. Chen Shi took out a handkerchief and covered Lin Dongxue's nose and mouth. After the two rushed in, they found Xu Xiaodong sitting outside an apartment with a dark face and a deformed security door next to it. , Revealing the boiling heat.
"What's the matter?" Chen Shi asked.
"I just walked in and found a cardboard box, so I touched it and heard a beep, I rushed out and closed the door, and then it exploded with a bang."
Lin Dongxue breathed a sigh of relief, "Your kid is very quick to respond."
Xu Xiaodong patted his ears, "Ears are almost deaf, pull me up."
Then other police officers came up, and when the door cooled down, they pushed in. The room was charred, and many places were still burning. There was a smell of burning plastic, and Chen Shi saw several identical bottles.
Chen Shi picked up a bottle of carbonated drinks that had not been burnt out, unscrewed it, and there really was a "prize" in it.
He blocked the mouth of the bottle with his fingers and shook it vigorously, preparing to act as a temporary fire extinguisher. Lin Qiupu said, "Hey, don't mess around!"
"It's already like this."
Chen Shi moved the finger that was blocking the bottle mouth a bit, and the sprayed liquid extinguished the surrounding small flames. Lin Qiupu sniffed and said, "The smell of gasoline is a bomb made with gasoline, and the purpose is to destroy evidence. "
"If you are lucky, you can pull a policeman back." Chen Shi looked at Xu Xiaodong, "Did the door stay open when you came?"
"It's closed, but when I stepped on the doormat and found something awkward, I turned it up to see that it was the key."
Lin Qiupu reproached and said: "You should inform us."
"The door is not open, I don't know something is wrong inside."
What Xu Xiaodong said is not unreasonable. If you contact him for every door that cannot be opened and call an EOD expert to check it again, the search will not be completed for three days.
This was an unexpected situation. Thanks to Xu Xiaodong's cleverness and agility, there were no casualties.
The police officers cleaned the scene and found acrylic ink drawn on plastic, a large number of beverage bottles of this type, maps and simple daily necessities. The title page of a burnt book wrote the words left by the owner for "visitors". , "Your justice is vulnerable."
"It's crazy!" Lin Qiupu said.
A policeman came up and said: "I asked the landlord that the house was rented out two days ago. The money has been paid, but the contract has not been signed yet, so I don’t know the ID number. I showed the landlord the photo and the landlord confirmed that it is Wang Sun. Xu."
Chen Shi picked up a piece of paper from the trash can, unfolded it, and said: "This is the list of fire escape clearances posted by the property on every door of every house. From the time below, it is posted today, Wang Sunxu. Still here today."
Lin Qiupu said: "Maybe he was here just now, and he evacuated after seeing us search, immediately block all the intersections nearby!"
