Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose
Chapter 76 Dumb
The Yanquan Public Security obtained the information of all the employees of Seaside Park overnight—especially those who entered and exited the haunted house on February 2—whether full-time or part-time, they were all listed.
Originally, the police hoped to identify the man who handed him the suitcase through the mute.However, the mute said that the other party was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, and in addition to the dim light in the early morning, he did not know what the other party looked like.He could only say that the man was about a head taller than him, of normal height, but he was very thin and looked like a bamboo pole.
However, according to the monitoring at Dashitan port in the early morning of February 2, around the time when the dumb and the traffickers met, there was a suspiciously registered car in and out of Dashiwan—a black model of the old Santana 29.
As soon as the Yanquan police investigated the employees in the seaside park, they quickly locked in the target: Wang Qiang, 42 years old, male, a prop master in the amusement park. Because of the redesign and layout of the haunted house, Xu Yunfei was in the haunted house before and after being kidnapped Works, and fits the dumb description.More importantly, his colleagues mentioned that they saw him driving an old black Santana 2000 when he came home.
Early the next morning, the police arrested Wang Qiang in his apartment. When the police broke in, Wang Qiang was in a hurry to pack his luggage. It seemed that he was planning to run away, but unfortunately the police were one step ahead.
The group leader handcuffed the man on the ground, and cursed viciously: "Why, what a coincidence, you still want to run away? Someone tipped you off?"
Wang Qiang didn't say a word, just ticked out a copy of this morning's "Salt Spring Express" with his foot, and kicked it in front of the police. The headline on the front page was the news that Xu Yunfei and others were successfully rescued.
The group leader sneered.
Wang Qiang was very cooperative throughout the whole process, and he seemed to have no emotion or struggle.As the mute described, he was indeed very thin, but his face was black and yellow and puffy, with a gloomy indifference on his flat facial features.
The man didn't talk much, but he could give a general answer to whatever the police asked.
Wang Qiang's explanation was: he needed a sum of money, so he searched everywhere on the Internet for ways to get the money, and finally heard the news that someone was urgently looking for a girl about 11 years old, not ugly, with a normal figure, who could give to the price he needs.
It just so happened that Wang Qiang worked in the park, and he usually came into contact with a lot of children, so he was moved.It turned out that Wang Qiang could see the surveillance cameras in the haunted house.He has been screening children who meet the gender, age and body requirements of the other party. Among them, he is specifically looking for children who have no companions and no parents waiting at the door.
It just so happened that Xu Yunfei was in perfect agreement.
"You also have a little girl as an accomplice, who is that person?"
Wang Qiang snorted coldly: "Little girl?"
"Don't pretend!" The team leader patted the table heavily with one hand, "After you kidnapped Xu Yunfei, that little girl who put on her clothes and ran out of the haunted house to mislead the police!"
Wang Qiang took a sip of the hot tea on the table, stared at the group leader and narrowed his eyes, with a strange smile on his face: "You ask me? Why don't you ask—ask—"
Halfway through the man's speech, he suddenly got stuck. His eyes suddenly widened, his eyeballs protruded, his facial muscles were stiff, his nostrils were dilated, and his appearance was very strange.
"Don't think you can fool me by making a few funny faces for me," the team leader hadn't finished cursing, but within a few seconds, Wang Qiang was lying face down on the table, unconscious, The tea I drank just now was overturned...
"Fuck, what's going on?!"
"Doctor, is there anyone in the forensic team? Call 120!!!"
"There is no sign of vomiting, and I can't feel my heartbeat." The team leader laid the person flat on the ground, and took off Wang Qiang's coat in twos and twos.He couldn't feel it through the thick clothes before, but now, the team leader felt two or three fist-sized bumps on Wang Qiang's right arm.He quickly rolled up the man's sleeves and exclaimed: "What is this? Does this man have some kind of disease? Could it be a sudden death?"
He squatted down next to the person, instinctively wanting to give him CPR, but found that Wang Qiang clenched his teeth and couldn't even open his mouth without exerting some strength.But when he managed to open his mouth, Xia Yi, who had the sharpest nose, frowned: "Bitter almond?"
The team leader sniffed vigorously: "Why do I only smell bad breath?"
Shao Lin squatted beside Wang Qiang, opened his mouth and looked at the mouth, and found that the teeth were intact and there was no vaginal area, but the mucous membrane showed a strange bright red: "Cyanide. Stop breathing mouth to mouth."
Although there is no forensic confirmation for the time being, the tonic facial spasm, the smell of bitter almonds, and such a short suffocation speed can basically determine the poison.
Since Wang Qiang entered the game, he has not eaten anything except the glass of water.
Xia Yi sniffed the water cup, and also smelled something wrong, and shook her head: "Someone come to take the liquid and extract the fingerprints on the paper cup."
All eyes were on the glass of water on the table.The most ironic thing was that the name of the Yanquan City Public Security Bureau was printed on the disposable paper cup—but, who would dare to openly poison the police station?
Xia Yi turned around and yelled angrily at the office: "Everyone here, no one is allowed to leave until today's business is over! Adjust the monitoring at the water dispenser, and pour all the water from that water dispenser this morning Record all the people!"
Everyone in the office looked at each other in blank dismay, and some of them didn't know Xia Yi yet, so they didn't know what this person meant.
"Officer Xia," Xiao Huang rubbed his head, stepped forward and reminded softly, "This matter seems to be going badly. I didn't mean to offend you, but you are not from the Yanquan City Bureau, should we wait for our leaders to speak?"
"No. It is precisely because we are not from the Yanquan City Bureau," Shao Lin said in a gentle tone, but his eyes glowed coldly. "Perhaps we can treat this matter more fairly."
This time the case was a huge sensation, and with the fact that one of the victims was a girl from Yan'an, Xia Yi and Shao Lin didn't need to find any excuses, and they stayed naturally.As a result, the problems caused by the "go home" system to the server were all fixed overnight, and Yan Jingjing also devoted herself to this case.
The first thing Xia Yi asked her to check was the management procedures for the entrance and exit of Dashitan Port.Originally, this small program for entering and leaving the port was just for the convenience of everyone to record the position of the ship. Since it is not confidential information, the database does not have any electronic security measures, nor does it have the simplest artificial intelligence.The only thing is, as long as the crew scans the QR code of the port with a small program, it will leave a trace in the database at that point in time.
Before the Yanquan police saw that it arrived on February 2 and left on February 28, it was only the obvious data in the database, but Yan Jingjing found a deletion record in the lengthy operation log: In the early morning of February 2, the dumb ship There is indeed a check-in at the port.However, this record was marked as "wrong check-in" and deleted. In the next morning, the mute ship checked in again, and only then did the police see the record.
As for the employee who deleted the record, he left the job half a year ago, and now he is no longer in Yanquan. There is a high probability that the authority that should have been suspended was stolen.The Dashitan Port is managed by the Yanquan Public Security Bureau, and all kinds of data are exchanged. Whether it is the staff of the Dashitan Port or the Yanquan Public Security Bureau, they can easily obtain this information.
Before, when the boat of the human traffickers exploded, Shao Lin could not be sure that the person who sent the message came from Dashitan Port, or from within the Yanquan Public Security Bureau, but now he is almost certain that there is indeed such a person inside, eager to kill his accomplices to silence them.Shao Lin's sharp gaze scanned the expressions of everyone in the office one by one, some were shocked, some were confused, some were angry...
Wang Qiang still didn't make it to the hospital.
When we got to the hospital, there was no one there.
There were not many people in the bureau today, and many of them went out to investigate the dumb line. The three children were not there. Xu Yunfei was taken home by his parents. Accompanied by social workers, he lived in the guest house of the Yanquan Public Security Bureau to rest.
In the conference room, everyone watched the surveillance together. There were quite a few people going to the water dispenser to pour water, but the camera did not capture who gave Wang Qiang that glass of water.When Wang Qiang walked into the inquiry room, he was holding a cup in his hand.
Shao Lin said slowly: "I thought about it for a long time before, why the boat that the mute led us to exploded. Based on the water temperature of the instant noodles on the human trafficking boat and the distance from the escape boat, we can be sure that the other party happened to be I was notified around the time we set off. This timing has always made me feel very delicate."
"I have a list here, but it is only excluded based on the facts, I hope it will not offend you..."
The captain of the Salt Spring City was blackened by today's incident, and directly ordered: "Say whatever comes to your mind, don't worry about it."
Shao Lin pulled out a list of all the police officers involved in the case, including those who were not involved in the case but were only in the same office space, and posted it on the whiteboard with a magnet.
"Let me give you a rundown of the timeline. Officer Xia and I discovered the clue of the mute on the night of March 3. We immediately told the colleagues in the team in a small area, that is to say, until On March 4, the mute returned to the shore again, and this matter has only been known to people in our group."
"So, I think the team leader, Xiao Huang, and everyone in our team—we can rule out the suspicion for the time being." He said, crossing out some names on the list, "If there are people among us who tipped off, After the traffickers got the news, they wouldn’t let the mute go ashore on March 3, would they? The messenger only found out about it after the mute was arrested.”
"Among the remaining people, they all have the opportunity to tip off."
"What are you kidding?!" A policeman whose name hadn't been crossed out yelled dissatisfiedly, "Lao Luo is also on your list? You're from a foreign country. How much contribution! After talking for a long time, I doubted half of the people, not all nonsense! Team Liu, why do we need someone from other places to help us investigate?"
"Oh? Really?" Xia Yi squinted his eyes slightly, like a wolf protecting food, "You have a guilty conscience after talking so much? Has Consultant Shao finished speaking? If you talk nonsense before you finish speaking, you might as well go ahead and talk nonsense." Shut up and listen to me."
Dissatisfied policeman: "..."
"Let's look at Wang Qiang's poisoning again. I can't count who took the cup and who didn't. The monitoring is dazzling, but maybe we can change our thinking." Shao Lin changed a blue fountain pen, "Shooting The poisoner wants to kill Wang Qiang, it must be because Wang Qiang holds clues that may expose him. If it is only indirect contact, it is relatively easy to clean himself up. However, he is so impatient, so I suspect that it is the real hammer of direct contact. Then I believe that this person must also know about Wang Qiang's existence. However, when Xu Yunfei was rescued, that is, yesterday, he should have known that it was a breeze for us to find Wang Qiang based on Xu Yunfei's confession."
"This person did not hesitate to take a big risk and openly poisoned the bureau. He is already so courageous. Why didn't he ask Wang Qiang to seal his mouth in advance? Even if he used his network number to call Wang Qiang and send him a text message to let him go, the police would not let him go." There is no need for him to make a move in the game. Why doesn't he make a move?"
"So, I think comrades who didn't work all night last night, have time to go home, and have the opportunity to surf the Internet are not very suspicious. After all, they have a whole night to avoid poisoning at the police station today." Shao Lin crossed out There was a long line of people, only the colleagues who had not left from yesterday all night to today.
"Perhaps, he has no chance to touch the mobile phone at all." Shao Lin poked the mute's name with the pen, "Or maybe, the mobile phone that he specializes in contacting traffickers is hidden at home, and he dare not show it in front of so many people in the bureau. leaked information openly."
Now, on Shao Lin’s list, some people were both crossed out, and more were only crossed out once. However, there were three people, no matter what the situation was, they were not crossed out——
Luo Yuzhong, the dumb interpreter, and the very dissatisfied policeman just now.
The very dissatisfied policeman was even more dissatisfied, looking as if he was about to jump up and fight Shao Lin desperately.Team Liu probably knew these three people quite well, and he touched his chin with an unconvincing look on his face: "Shao Lin, you are assuming that the person who informed the traffickers in advance and poisoned Wang Qiang was the same person. But the fact Come on, it is entirely possible that this is two people?"
"Yes, there is indeed a possibility." Shao Lin shook his head, "But it is rare enough to have one black policeman in the team. Do you think it is more likely to have two at the same time?"
In a word, the captain choked back.
But at this moment, a small inspector from Yanquan hastily pushed open the door of the meeting room: "Team Liu, we have finished analyzing the fingerprints on the cup."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"Wang Qiang's fingerprints were found on the cup, besides this, also--" He glanced around in a panic before he stammered, "I also found Shao, Shao's advisor."
Originally, the police hoped to identify the man who handed him the suitcase through the mute.However, the mute said that the other party was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, and in addition to the dim light in the early morning, he did not know what the other party looked like.He could only say that the man was about a head taller than him, of normal height, but he was very thin and looked like a bamboo pole.
