Special Case Investigation Team VI

Another quarter of an hour later, Cheng Jin received a message from Xie Ming. He thought he had arranged a flight for them, but it turned out not to be.

Xie Ming said that the terrorists posted information on the Internet again. Previously they issued threats, but this time they made their demands.

She sent Cheng Jin a screenshot of the content posted online by the other party. The other party’s request included two parts: the first part was a political appeal, asking the central government to publicly promise not to support the new Burleigh government; the second part was a “private” appeal, asking Hand over the culprit who caused a certain riot—three photos are attached at the back, the first one is Yang Simi, the second one is unknown to Cheng Jin, and the third one is Dai Liangzi.

The turmoil that the other party mentioned actually refers to the armed action that caused the destruction of their organization. Yang Simi was indeed an important participant in that action, but his main task at the time was to rescue Dai Liangzi. Said it was just a by-product.

Cheng Jin frowned, and the situation escalated. Not only Dai Liangzi didn't want Yang Simi to leave Luzhou, but the terrorists also wanted to drag Yang Simi into the muddy water.

If it was like what Xie Ming said before, as long as Yang Simi flew away from Luzhou, no one would specifically let him return-because there is actually no shortage of workers, then the situation has completely changed now, even if he After flying back to Beijing, he would still be allowed to return to Luzhou, because he was designated by the terrorists as an important figure in this crisis, which made him irreplaceable.

Cheng Jin was still hesitating whether to stay and help before, but now he has to stay.

Xie Ming sent another message: You don't have to worry, we can't negotiate with terrorists, and we won't agree to any of their demands.

Cheng Jin knew this.But he thinks those terrorists should not really think that the central government will hand over Yang Simi and others to them, they just want to drag these people into this incident, and then—maybe retaliate against them in some way ?

Xie Ming added: You will receive a temporary dispatch notice soon, and you will be arranged to join this temporary command center.

That is to say, Cheng Jin and the others will be sent to analyze the enemy's situation. As for the front line, that is the work of the special armed forces, and they are not needed.

About 10 minutes later, the temporary dispatch notice really came down.

After reading the document, Cheng Jin said to Ye Lai and the others: "Your Teacher Yang and I have to stay in Luzhou to participate in the investigation of terrorist attacks. You should find a hotel to rest first, and return to Beijing after the flight resumes."

After parting with Ye Lai and the others, Cheng Jin was going to contact Xie Ming to ask her for Dai Liangzi's contact information, but his cell phone rang first, looking at the confidential number displayed on the screen, he looked at Yang Simi: "Guess what?" Could it be Dai Liangzi?"

Yang Simi was not interested: "Whatever."

Cheng Jin smiled and answered the phone. It was indeed Dai Liangzi. He said, "Cheng Jin, have you seen the dispatch notice?"

"I see." Cheng Jin didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and said directly, "Give us the address, we'll come here now."

Dai Liangzi: "I'll send you right away."

"Okay, let's talk when we meet." Cheng Jin hung up the phone.

Dai Liangzi on the other end looked at the silent microphone and put it back on the phone.

I drove a rented car to the address given by Dai Liangzi. This place is not in the central city, but it is not remote. It is only across a river from the central city.

Cheng Jin glanced at the signboard next to the big iron gate, it said education and training center.

The iron gate opened, Cheng Jin and his car were put in, the door closed, and several armed men came up and surrounded the car, asking Cheng Jin and Yang Simi to get out of the car.

A few minutes later, a lady with short hair came out of a nearby building, and Cheng Jin remembered seeing her behind Dai Liangzi.

The short-haired lady introduced herself as Li, and asked Cheng Jin and Yang Simi to call her Xiao Li. She took Cheng Jin and Yang Simi to meet Dai Liangzi.

After entering the building, Cheng Jin found that the place was actually a rough house, and the unrenovated plain concrete walls and concrete floors were displayed in front of his eyes. If he hadn't known that this was the official command center, he would have thought that he had come to a criminal house. The gang's secret base.

However, although this place does not seem to have been decorated, it has everything that should be there - such as the access control level.

At the first checkpoint, all the electronic products of Cheng Jin and Yang Simi were taken away, and then they passed the second and third checkpoints before finally entering the core area of ​​the building.

A few minutes later, the two were brought into an empty hall. After entering the door, Cheng Jin noticed a huge one-way glass in the front left. There was a large room behind the glass. It was a large interrogation room, but it was empty now. Yes, this room should be prepared for terrorists. As long as they are caught, they will be thrown into the room for interrogation. There may be many spectators in this hall.

"I hope this place can be used soon." It was Dai Liangzi's voice.

Cheng Jin turned around and saw that the other party was standing by the door looking at them. "What's the situation now, has the suspicious person been locked?" To use this space with an interrogation room, you must first catch the person.

"Still investigating." Dai Liangzi walked into the hall, "It is said that you were going to Pingyang?"

"Yes, you should already know what we want to do in Pingyang." Cheng Jin said.

"A lady named Meng Shuangye is missing. This lady is a friend of Kong Yi." Dai Liangzi said, "I have contacted Kong Yi. He didn't know about the video message sent to you by Ms. Meng. He didn't know about the disappearance of Ms. Meng." We only found out through us. Do you think Ms. Meng's disappearance may be related to the bombing attack in Luzhou?"

"It's hard to say," Cheng Jin said, "There are all kinds of possibilities."

Dai Liangzi: "I hope it is related, so that we can have an additional angle of investigation and have the opportunity to catch more people."

Cheng Jin didn't say anything, Yang Simi beside him reached into his pocket and took out a candy, checked the package, it was tangerine peel candy, he didn't like it and wanted to change it.

Cheng Jin whispered, "Only this kind."

Yang Simi glanced at Cheng Jin and chose to accept the reality. He tore off the plastic wrapper and put the candy in his mouth, then stuffed the wrapper back into Cheng Jin's pocket.

Dai Liangzi looked at them, and after a few seconds, asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Cheng Jin: "Not yet."

"Let's go together then." Dai Liangzi turned and left.

Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi to follow.

The rice is a box lunch, with meat and vegetables, balanced nutrition and average taste.

Dai Liangzi was very focused while eating, as if he had no intention of speaking.

Cheng Jin was not as particular as he was, and asked while eating, "Can I go to the explosion site to see?"

Dai Liangzi stopped his chopsticks: "You can watch the live video before and after the explosion first, it will be more intuitive."

After eating, Dai Liangzi propped himself up on the table and got up with his fingers hard, the veins on the back of his hand swelled——

Yang Simi interrupted Cheng Jin's gaze: "What are you looking at?"

Cheng Jin shook his head, and after Dai Liangzi walked away, he asked, "Is Mr. Dai..."

He wanted to ask if Mr. Dai was in poor health, but he strung together all the clues and saw the whole thing clearly:

It's not that Dai Liangzi is in poor health, it's that he has a bad leg, which can't be seen under normal circumstances, but when he walks too fast or sits down and stands up, there will be traces.

As for why he has a bad leg, it should be that he is missing a leg, and he has a prosthetic leg.

Among the videos of Yang Simi, there are two videos of him "operating" on the legs of the tortured, one of whom should be Dai Liangzi.

Yang Simi did rescue Dai Liangzi, but he made him suffer a lot and even took away his leg.

That's why the atmosphere when the two get along is so weird.

Cheng Jin looked at Yang Simi and stroked his hair. The rescue mission was not easy, and Dai Liangzi was miserable too... His first bad impression of Dai Liangzi was overturned. At this moment, he only had one thought: it is not easy for everyone.

"How did Mr. Dai get caught by that organization?"

Yang Simi: "I was arrested when I went to Burleigh to communicate."

Cheng Jin looked at him and said softly, "Let's talk about it in detail."

Yang Simi sighed, showing an expression of "Okay, I'll give you a break. If I don't give in to you, who will give in to you": "At that time, there were many local forces in Burleigh, among which the provisional government army was the strongest. That force, and that organization is the most extreme armed force, among the people arranged by the provisional government to receive Dai Liangzi, people from that organization were mixed up, so he was kidnapped."

Cheng Jin: "What is the purpose of arresting him?"

"It's mainly for political reasons. I want to break up the friendly relationship between us and their interim government. Besides, Dai Liangzi knows how to develop weapons, so he alone is worthy of being arrested," Yang Simi said, "and he was carrying a Some important information about weapons development."

Cheng Jin nodded and asked, "Weapon research and development?"

"Well, for example, how to make bombs." Yang Simi said, "That's why this bombing attack will be directed by him. He has a comprehensive understanding of all kinds of bombs."

"Oh." Cheng Jin's thoughts turned back to the Burleigh interim government that Yang Simi had mentioned just now, and then he thought about the current situation, "The person who caused the Luzhou bombing attack this time has one of the appeals posted on the Internet. Yes: demand a public commitment from the center not to support a new government in Burleigh."

Yang Simi: "What new government? It's still the same as before. It's just changed temporarily. It hasn't changed the soup or medicine."

Of course, becoming a full-time member is of great significance. It represents the legalization of a temporary authority, and it symbolizes the dawn of stability for a country.

Knowing the general background almost, Cheng Jin packed up the lunch box and greeted Yang Simi: "Let's go, let's go and see everyone's progress."

The explosion attack this afternoon took place in a shopping mall with a lot of traffic. The specific location of the explosion was in the dining area on the first floor. There was surveillance in the dining area, but one of the cameras was broken and has not been replaced with a new one. So there are about A quarter of the area has not been photographed, and we can only screen who has entered that area through the monitoring of the entrance and exit, and who among them has the possibility of planting bombs-these people will be the focus of investigation .

The information center for this work is not in this building, so Cheng Jin can't watch everyone's work on the spot, but you can see the picture of the information center from here:

In a hall, there are about 20 people watching the surveillance attentively. There are three monitors in front of each person, and it is not known whether they can see it or not.

Cheng Jin watched from a distance for a while and discovered the pattern. The people at the information center first focused on checking people with boxes, backpacks, large boxes, and large bags, because bombs can be placed in these containers;

The second thing to check is people who hold plush toys and children, probably because things can be stuffed inside the plush toys, and the children may be disguised as dolls;

There are also pregnant women and fat people who are also the focus of investigation. It is estimated that they are worried that they have made a certain degree of camouflage on their bodies.

"It seems that the people in the information center are very efficient at work, why haven't they been able to locate the suspect yet?" Cheng Jin said to himself.

"They have already checked the monitoring, and they are now conducting a review." A middle-aged man with a half-bald head next to him said.

Yang Simi said conveniently: "I've checked it all over but couldn't find it out, which means that the suspect is not among the people they are most suspicious of, and they have entered a blind spot of thinking."

The bald middle-aged man immediately asked: "What blind spot in thinking?"

Yang Simi said confidently, "How do I know?"

"..." The man turned and walked away.

I don’t know if the bald middle-aged man went to report to Dai Liangzi. After a while, Dai Liangzi came over and sat down on the chair next to Cheng Jin, looked at the big “live broadcast” screen on the wall in front of him and asked, “You guys Did you find anything unusual?"

Cheng Jin said: "I don't know if it's an abnormality. I'm a little concerned about that balloon seller. Have you checked him?"

The monitoring at the entrance and exit showed that half an hour before the explosion, a person entered the dining area with many balloons and stayed in the unmonitored area for about a quarter of an hour.

"You mean the guy who is pulling a lot of hydrogen balloons?" Dai Liangzi asked.

"Correct."

"Where did he hide the bomb?" Dai Liangzi's tone was a bit sarcasm, "In the hydrogen balloon?" Those hydrogen balloons couldn't bear the weight of the bomb, and they would be so crushed that they couldn't float.

Cheng Jin is very tolerant towards Dai Liangzi now, and was not annoyed by his tone at all, and patiently said to him: "It's not a balloon, have you noticed that he is wearing a tall hat?"

The balloon seller dressed up as a clown, wearing brightly colored clothes, with a red ping pong ball-like fake nose glued to his face, and a tall top hat on his head.

The staff nearby found out the relevant monitoring of the clown selling balloons and put them on the big screen.

Cheng Jin: "Pay attention to his walking posture. His head hasn't moved much, he hasn't lowered his head, he hasn't raised his head, and he hasn't looked around. The reason why he is so careful is probably because there is a heavy object on his head. If you mess around, the thing could get out of balance and fall."

Dai Liangzi stared at the monitor for a moment, then turned around: "Go and check."

"Yes." This was the voice of the bald middle-aged man before. Cheng Jin turned his head and saw the back of the man walking away quickly.

"Actually, they went to investigate this balloon seller before," Dai Liangzi said, "He didn't run away, so they ruled out his suspicion."

Although they didn't think the man was suspicious, they went to confirm it just to be on the safe side, but he didn't run away... The person who planted the bomb should have run away, and he shouldn't have stayed where he was and waited for someone to catch him.

Cheng Jin couldn't figure out what was going on, Yang Simi said casually, "Maybe he doesn't care about being arrested."

"It's possible." Dai Liangzi said, "Terrorists are sometimes very self-sacrificing."
