The Beginning

Chapter 33: The twentieth cycle (4)

Views:

The bombing in City W was a horrific tragedy, with a large number of casualties and a severe social impact, which can be regarded as the worst in several years. Because of this, whether it is public opinion or all parties concerned about the task force Whether it is repeated exhortations, it has brought great pressure to the task force in charge of investigating the case.

Even if there is no pressure from all parties, all police officers who have been to the explosion site and investigated the tragedy of the bombing will sincerely want to find the real culprit and motive of the bombing.

Why did he/they do this

Is there a larger criminal organization eyeing social security behind him/them

It is not enough to rely on conjecture alone to solve major cases, and there must be a complete chain of evidence, witnesses, and physical evidence to support the facts they have investigated. The process of finding evidence often takes a while.

What's more, the damage in the compartment was so serious, and no one survived in the entire bus. After the explosion, even the bones found on the bus were in dilapidated condition, which made the investigation of the case even more difficult.

But now, the clues provided by the two young people provided the task force with a clear direction, and a major breakthrough was also made, and the situation suddenly became clear.

With direction, the process of forensics will be greatly reduced.

"God has eyes, the sky net is restored, and it is sparse but not leaking."

For the situation where the clues were found so quickly, Lao Zhang only had this idea.

"Thanks to the two young people, one is alert and the other is smart, they have brought us such great help."

"But don't you think they're too alert, too clever?"

Police Officer Du always felt a little uneasy when he thought of the young man who took the distribution map and could "dictate" everyone's location without hesitation.

"When ordinary people encounter such things, it would be nice if their minds don't become a mess, but he can remember everything exactly. And that girl..."

If you knew there was a problem, why didn't you call the police

He didn't express his dissatisfaction, but Lao Zhang could understand.

"I know what you are worried about, and I have your worries too. But from my experience, these two young people should be innocent. A suspect in a bombing case would not take the initiative to help the police or respond to a police summons, let alone Because of the heavy casualties of the passengers in the car, I have to bear such a heavy psychological burden."

Lao Zhang thought of the little girl crying bitterly after being comforted, and felt very uncomfortable. "Ordinary people are too busy to take care of themselves when they encounter such a thing. They can still think of helping others. They are good children. Besides, we have also investigated all of them." Is it? They are innocent, socially innocent and have no criminal record, and have no motive to become accomplices."

"There are always some partial geniuses in this world, some with extremely fast reactions, and some with super memory for pictures. Maybe the young man has this kind of talent? Since he said that he usually likes to observe the passengers on the bus, he can recall them at critical moments. It's nothing unusual, and since the girl has already discovered that something is wrong with the people in the front row, as a friend, it is reasonable to pay more attention."

Lao Zhang can understand Lao Du's anger and regret for this case, but emotionally, he is more inclined to trust the two young people.

"As for why the girl didn't call the police, I don't think there is anything to worry about. She has no evidence. She just thinks it's strange for a middle-aged woman to talk to herself. People's intuition usually can't be used as evidence. Many people will encounter this kind of thing. I think calling the police is a big deal."

"you're right."

Officer Du sighed, "I was too nervous."

"Relax, don't push yourself so hard."

Lao Zhang understood his urgency very well.

"I know you have a strong sense of responsibility, but it is our responsibility to protect people's safety and maintain social order. You cannot use the same professional standards and moral constraints to demand two ordinary young people."

"They will actively cooperate with the police to solve the case, and they have done the best they can."

On the other side, as assistants, Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun also quickly got the answers they wanted to know from the police.

"The driver and that aunt are husband and wife?"

After learning about their relationship, Li Shiqing and the younger brother almost couldn't control the expressions on their faces.

If the police didn't say it, who would have thought that the driver uncle would have such a relationship with that lunatic-like aunt

"Do you mean that the driver of this bus may be an accessory?"

The glasses boy asked nervously.

"It's very possible, but the final result depends on the evidence found."

Lao Zhang said.

"You look surprised, why?"

Although Police Officer Du accepted Lao Zhang's statement, but out of professionalism, he still saw something wrong with Li Shiqing at a glance. This was already their occupational disease and there was no way to control it.

"Because I'm fairly familiar with this driver."

Li Shiqing did not try to hide it, and said from the bottom of her heart, "I have been taking this bus for more than two years. I travel most of the time during school holidays. I met the driver of this bus today. He takes good care of the students. Yeah, doesn't look like the kind of guy who does that."

Hearing that the girl was familiar with the driver, Officer Du was also interested.

"Oh? He listens to take care of students? Specifically? Tell us about it."

Li Shiqing told the police officers all her memories and knowledge of the driver.

When she first arrived in this place, she was unfamiliar with the place and shallow-skinned and embarrassed to trouble others, but in such a strange place, most of the people she met were kind, which made her never want to speculate on others with malice .

Compared with the vicious aunt, she believed more in what she saw with her eyes and felt in her heart, and she was more inclined that the driver must have some difficulties.

"After we got on the bus, the uncle driver didn't talk to the other passengers in the car, including the aunt with the pressure cooker."

Li Shiqing said dully, "None of us thought that the uncle driver could have such a relationship with that aunt."

"Sounds like a nice guy, not a sociopath..."

Officer Du rubbed his chin and asked the assistant beside him, "Fang Zi, are the driver and the suspect Tao Yinghong the original couple? Do they have any children?"

"It's the original spouse. They got married 25 years ago. Their hometown is Q City, Province S. They came to settle in this city three years ago." Fang Zi looked at the information in his hand, his brows gradually frowned, "They have a daughter, But it's dead."

Li Shiqing and the younger brother looked at each other with even more surprise in their eyes.

Li Shiqing discussed with my younger brother before, and suspected that the uncle might have to submit to a criminal organization because his family was kidnapped or taken hostage, and he also imagined that if the police could find out these things, he might be able to win over by choosing to rescue the hostages from the very beginning. Driver's help...

But now, the evidence from the police investigation tells them that the so-called "family" of the driver uncle is that lunatic aunt, and his daughter is long gone...

The road was cut off at once.

"Check out the situation of their daughter."

Lao Zhang interjected, "The ones who can make a middle-aged woman do this kind of thing have something to do with her children."

"What else can you think of? Please tell us as much as possible, including other suspicious people in the car, and whether there is any possibility of a gang committing crimes..."

Old Zhang was worried.

In view of the situation of the uncle and aunt being investigated, Li Shiqing and the younger brother carefully thought about whether there was anything they might have missed, but finally shook their heads.

"The car is full of grandpas and grandma who don't have to go to work. We don't think there is anything wrong, at least we didn't find it."

The younger brother answered cautiously.

At this moment, Officer Du's phone rang suddenly.

"On the side of Xiaojiang."

Officer Du glanced at the notification of the incoming call, and quickly picked it up.

"Great, good job, keep searching and see what else you find!"

It seemed that there was some good news over there, and a faint smile appeared on his always serious face, "I will also cooperate with you to continue the search."

"Why, what did Xiao Jiang find?"

Lao Zhang asked impatiently.

Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun couldn't help looking up at him, with anticipation in their eyes.

Officer Du glanced at the two young men, hesitated for a while, but still didn't evade, and said in front of them.

"Xiaojiang found bomb-making tools and remaining raw materials in the independent garage of the property owned by the suspect and his wife. It is now basically certain that the bomb was made by this couple."

"In a residential area?"

When Lao Zhang heard about the place where the raw materials were found, his face showed anger.

"The second-hand house they bought was in Gangwu New Village, and they only bought it for three years. According to the memories of the neighbors, the male owner of the family usually lives outside and comes back two or three times a week. The female owner also returns home almost as frequently as the male owner. You don’t socialize with your neighbors less, and you don’t seem to be very talkative.”

With the important discovery, Officer Du is not in a hurry.

After a while, the police officers who investigated the driver Wang Xingde and his wife Tao Yinghong also brought documents and entered the special case team office.

"The driver, Wang Xingde, used to be a truck driver and used to run transportation in his hometown S Province. His wife Tao Yinghong has been a high school chemistry teacher in No. 1 Middle School in Q City..."

As he said, he handed the information to Officer Du, "Three years ago, Wang Xingde applied for the city's bus company through a labor dispatch company. After a period of pre-job training, he officially became a bus driver. Two years ago, he was officially transferred to this city Wire."

"In the same year, Tao Yinghong resigned and followed Wang Xingde to this city. Because of her qualifications in chemistry, she worked as a quality inspector in a chemical factory. She resigned half a year ago."

Now, not only the criminal suspicion can be confirmed, but also the conditions for making a bomb are available.

"Why did they give up their stable jobs in their hometown and settle in City W?" Old Zhang wondered, "It's impossible for bus drivers to be paid better than truck drivers, right?"

No matter how you look at it, there are many doubts about this couple of suspects.

"Old Zhang, you continue to chat with the two of them to see if there is anything else you missed. You stay in the group and take care of it. Let's meet Xiao Jiang and call if there is anything wrong."

With clues, Officer Du refused to waste any time and was anxious to investigate more evidence.

After Police Officer Du left, Li Shiqing and his brother sat on the bench, looking at the busy police officers in the room, they were the only ones sitting here leisurely, feeling a little cramped.

Sensing the uneasiness of the two young people, Lao Zhang thought for a moment, smiled and said to them: "This place is a bit messy, how about it, you follow me to my office and be a little quieter."

Because the younger brother and Li Shiqing were the only insiders who could tell exactly what the last passengers on the bus looked like, Lao Zhang and Lao Du didn't intend to let them go back so soon.

But when they were investigating the case, it was indeed inappropriate for them to leave these two young men alone.

"There is a camp bed in my office. You can lie down when you are tired. There are also charging cables and hot water. Take a break and play with your mobile phone or something..."

Lao Zhang led them into his office, found two chairs for them to sit on, and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find something to entertain people, but only found a few bags of compressed biscuits to carry the hunger.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of eating snacks, so I don't have anything to eat. If you are hungry, just eat this first and leave. I will treat you to dinner tonight!"

Lao Zhang looked at the biscuit in embarrassment.

"It's okay, this is delicious, I haven't eaten it for a long time."

The little brother took the biscuit and didn't mean to dislike it at all.

Xiao Heyun's thoughtfulness made Lao Zhang more fond of the two young people. While waiting for Wang Xingde's daughter's information, Lao Zhang chatted with them, mostly asking about the situation in the car, and wanted to see if it was possible to know more. omission of something.

While chatting, something flashed through Li Shiqing's mind, and her expression was a little dazed.

"Why, did you remember anything again?"

Lao Zhang asked with a smile.

"Officer Zhang, I have a question, I asked it, don't laugh at me..."

She scratched her head, as if embarrassed.

"Well, you ask."

"Suppose, I mean suppose..."

She said it was just a "hypothesis", but Li Shiqing's expression was very serious.

Thinking that she had something important to ask, Lao Zhang also got serious.

"Suppose, I open my eyes tomorrow and find myself back on this bus that crashed..."

In the little brother's surprised expression, Li Shiqing asked earnestly.

"At this time, it was only 30 minutes before the explosion. Xiao Heyun and I knew that there was a bomb in the car, and we also knew that the culprits were the aunt and the driver. Under limited conditions, what should we do to stop the explosion?"
