Chapter 49 Cases 4-2

It is not uncommon for Sun Yan to go out to the police in the middle of the night, but Sun Yan has been in the police force for almost ten years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a grueling case.

At midnight, the police station in the jurisdiction received reports that an explosion had occurred at a food stall on Jianghe Street.

The police station and the ambulance arrived almost at the same time. Two guests were unconscious and five wounded were sent to the hospital together.

According to one of the less injured people inside, they were programmers who worked overtime nearby. They had a good barbecue here, and there was a sudden explosion on the ground next to them. Two colleagues who were sitting close to each other passed out. One was more or less injured.

On-site investigation, they found that a can filled with explosives was detonated on time.Although the cans contain black powder commonly used in fireworks and firecrackers, once filled and sealed, they become earth-made fragmentation grenades, which explode at close range, and their power cannot be underestimated.

These people said that they have not provoked anyone recently, and the food stall owner has no clue, there is no monitoring, the police station can only record the police situation first, search for witnesses everywhere, and investigate the recent work and living conditions of the victims tomorrow.

The doorway has not yet been found out here. At one o'clock in the morning, a similar thing happened in a nearby bar.The police station sent another team to look. This time there were more injured people. There was surveillance in the nightclub, but there were so many people that nothing could be seen.

At that time, the police said, there will be no more, right?Sure enough, at two and three in the morning, two more soda cans exploded on this street, one of which was still on the road, which scared many passers-by and called the police.

Jianghe Street is a relatively civilian, relatively formal and safe place for nightlife and consumption in the island city. Several bombings happened at once, and the news spread in the middle of the night.

Just after three o'clock, Sun Yan rushed to the scene with reinforcements from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the four o'clock bombing moved to Panshan Street, ten kilometers away.This time it was a library, and the inmates threw the cans through the transom. Although no one was injured, it caused a fire.

If you don't find someone as soon as possible, who knows how many things will happen.Sun Yan notified Tang Wen, and Tang Wen immediately woke up Lu Yuanzhe and asked him to use his whimsy to bring this guy back as soon as possible.

"Good Tang Bureau, no problem Tang Bureau." Lu Yuanzhe agreed enthusiastically, while sighing in his heart, no matter whether it was a banquet or other anti-social criminals, anyway, he had to pick when his relationship with Cheng Mo made progress. up.

·

Wake up Cheng Mo and go out quickly. He is in charge of driving, and Cheng Mo is in charge of reading him a brief summary of the case——

The cans have been investigated clearly. Except for the gunpowder, there is only a built-in timing ignition system, which is simple but exquisite.In addition, it is speculated from the fragments of the incomplete cans that there are numbers written on their inner walls, which may be counting down from 24, indicating that the prisoner still has at least 19 soda cans that have not been placed.

The police are comparing the monitoring near the crime scene. So far, no suspicious persons in the same attire have been found entering or exiting different crime scenes.

"Is there a brand for the cans?" Lu Yuanzhe asked suddenly after listening to the survey on the cans.

"Huh?" Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "No, there are various carbonated drinks, and the quantities are not consistent."

"It seems that it's not revenge that some kind of cola is not good..." Lu Yuanzhe said with emotion.

"Of course not." Cheng Mo didn't understand what he meant, and replied in surprise, but quickly realized, "There is no motive...is it?"

"Well, without appeals, it's hard to know how much trouble the prisoner is going to cause. You see, he also attacked an empty library, which is impossible to prevent." Lu Yuanzhe sighed softly.

Generally speaking, this kind of carnival-style crime always has a "theme" when committing crimes. It is really difficult to predict the criminal's actions without understanding his demands and motives.

They were still on the road, and the five o'clock explosion happened, still on Panshan Street, this time in a bar, and witnesses saw a man kicking a can.

About to reach the destination, Lu Yuanzhe drove the car into the nearest underground garage.If Sun Yan saw this car, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Rushing to the bar as quickly as possible, they saw that the fire in the library in the distance had been extinguished, and now there were only a lot of people around the bar.

The young man who kicked the can had already been caught, and was interrogated by Sun Yan in a security box not far from the bar. He was so drunk that he didn't know what he had done, and thought he had kicked a soda can burst.

Sun Yan interrogated him for 10 minutes, but he still said a few words back and forth - he didn't know who put it, so he kicked it himself, didn't see anyone, and didn't know what was in the jar.

As he asked, he might have become a little sober and started to get scared. He shook his head desperately and said that he didn't kick it. Someone must have misunderstood it. He drank too much and just played around honestly.

Lu Yuanzhe went over to watch Sun Yan and ignored him. After listening for 2 minutes, he couldn't take it anymore, so he took the initiative to talk to Sun Yan: "It must not be this person, don't waste your time."

"Of course I know, but what can I do? There are no fingerprints on the fragments of soda cans, and the surveillance cameras are full of moving heads without the suspect's characteristics. How can I find him?" Sun Yan glared at him and retorted, "The suspect committed the crime. Several times, someone will see it."

"That's not necessarily true. I ask too many questions. People often can't even identify whether they are male or female." Lu Yuanzhe doesn't quite believe what can be asked in such a chaotic place. "I'll go and see the scene, and you can talk to him slowly."

The explosion happened in the middle of the dance floor, but according to the testimony of the drunk young man, he accidentally kicked the can out of the corner.It turned out that the place where the cans were placed was an inconspicuous corner. On the dance floor, the lights were dazzling, the singing and dancing were lively, and the seating, bar and other areas happened to be blocked by the crowd, so everyone really might not be able to see the prisoner.

Cheng Mo asked his colleagues for the transcripts of the previous explosion sites. The situation here is similar, except that there is no one in the library, and the other cans are placed in places where it is not surprising to throw them away. It is not easy to attract the attention of passers-by.

"Is there any vehicle surveillance that can be adjusted?" Lu Yuanzhe asked the police at the police station in the jurisdiction. "Prisoners who move here from Jianghe Street must either take a taxi or drive. Walking is definitely not an option."

"I'm checking. Compared with the messy customers, the car is really much easier to check, but it will be difficult to compare it for a while. It's better here, Jianghe Street is too lively." The police in the area told him.

"Then we can only pray for better luck." Lu Yuanzhe looked around.There was an explosion, and there were guests who were too drunk to leave. Pretty bold.If they could find out the prisoner, the law and order in the island city would be ten times better.

·

Near six o'clock, the police notified all nearby shops to check whether there were any cans left behind by customers in their stores. Some shops even cooperated with the police to suspend business, but until five minutes before six o'clock, no abandoned cans were found.

Originally, there were not many bars here, and they all closed down in cooperation with the police. Sun Yan thought that most of them were in KTV or movie theaters.But even the Bomb Dogs couldn't be found, so I had to lean towards none.

"Could it have escaped?" He frowned and speculated, "Or seeing how we searched, why didn't we throw it into the store?"

"It's also possible." Lu Yuanzhe nodded, "We pulled up the cordon and checked the departing guests one by one. If he hasn't left yet, there is a high probability of being caught by us."

Apart from collecting information, Cheng Mo hadn't expressed much opinion, but at this moment he suddenly looked at the 24-hour convenience store across the road, and there was a shelf full of carbonated drinks: "You don't have to throw away the sealed cans." on the ground."

They've been investigating all-night entertainment and dining outlets. There are only about two dozen of them here, and they've been thoroughly checked. Only this 24-hour convenience store has not attracted attention. Besides, it has no security and only one cashier. , it is difficult to check in place.

"I'll go too." Lu Yuanzhe followed.

The convenience store was about to close. When they saw the two of them running over with their police IDs, they were startled. They waved to them and said, "No, the trash cans have been checked."

Cheng Mo replied, "Let's go and have a look," and went straight to check the shelves. They couldn't tell from the outside, so they had to pick them up one by one to try.Lu Yuanzhe stopped the car at the door and looked up at the monitoring screen behind the cash register.

The prisoner is very cautious, and the suspect can be ruled out wherever the surveillance can capture.

"The row in the back." He called to Cheng Mo, and then ran to the last row of cabinets where drinks were placed.

Three minutes before the explosion, they stopped in front of an entire shelf of Coke.

"Whether I'm here or not, I may not want to drink Coke recently." Lu Yuanzhe picked up the cans one by one to try, and couldn't help complaining.

"I'm a bit thirsty." Cheng Mo answered casually, and stopped suddenly when there were still 2 minutes left, "I found it."

Lu Yuanzhe took the can carefully. The bomb is solid, and the feel is completely different.Without daring to think too much, he rushed out of the convenience store and put the soda can into an explosion-proof can.

At six o'clock sharp, there was a muffled sound in the explosion-proof tank, and the bomb exploded.Dozens of people waiting for the bus on the street all turned their heads to look here. Sun Yan sent a few people to interrogate these onlookers. Maybe the prisoner is standing here aboveboard.

After waiting for 2 minutes, Lu Yuanzhe and Cheng Mo opened the explosion-proof tank together.

The shell of the soda can has been divided into many pieces, most of the gunpowder inside has been burned, and the timing system has been blown to pieces. It can only be roughly identified as an electronic timer and a detonator.

Lu Yuanzhe picked up a fragment of a soda can with gloves on, and discerned the digital traces written by the marker.He carefully put together part of it. Although he couldn't see the whole thing, it did look like "18".

"What do you think will happen when you finish counting the numbers?" He turned to look at Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo frowned and shook his head, not knowing what to guess: "Maybe he didn't make his request so far, just to increase the pressure on the police?"

"Maybe." Lu Yuanzhe looked around, those onlookers had been stared and checked by colleagues one by one, and it was completely impossible to see that anyone was very interested in this scene, besides, the bomb-sniffing dogs had circled the street twice I didn't find the smell of gunpowder on anyone, "He likes to deal with the police, but he doesn't like to watch?"

"Is there a better observation point?" Cheng Mo said, looking at the dark buildings around him a few times, but he didn't see a particularly good high place.

It was originally Lu Yuanzhe who chatted casually, and the sentence he mentioned had no motive, but now it has taken root in their hearts.

It is not normal for prisoners not to come up with their own anti-social reasons and not to appreciate their own work.
