Special Case Investigation Team VI

Soon, the inquiry video on the screen wall was switched to real-time monitoring of public places such as parks, squares, and open-air markets.

It's morning, and the busiest place is the food market. People rush to buy fresh food in the morning. The crowd is very dense, which makes everyone watching the surveillance nervous.

Lao Zhao: "Before these markets opened for business, we pre-checked the venues. There was no problem. After the opening in the morning, we have been watching. So far, no suspicious persons or objects have been found."

Dai Liangzi nodded.

Cheng Jin felt relieved a lot. These people are worthy of being professional anti-terrorists, and they have taken precautions in every way.

At [-]:[-], the number of people in the market decreased, and the number of people in the square and the park gradually increased.

People who passed the square with suitcases were stopped for questioning, snack carts near the park were surrounded for inspection, and the trunks of vehicles parked on roads with many pedestrians were opened one by one for inspection...

At 10:30, a staff member walked up to Cheng Jin and said, "Consultant Cheng, your colleague called—"

Cheng Jin got up to answer the phone, the staff: "—let me tell you that they caught Jiang Baoliang."

Cheng Jin stopped in his tracks: "Don't you need me to answer the phone?"

The staff member shook his head: "She said there was nothing wrong, and let me tell you that they have caught Jiang Baoliang, and then hung up."

Cheng Jin: "Okay, I see, thank you."

It should be that he has just been caught, and he hasn't asked any information yet, but Jiang Baoliang probably doesn't know any information about the terrorist attack, because Dai Liangzi's people have looked for him, but they haven't been able to ask him anything.

At eleven o'clock, Tu Wen said: "On the 21st screen, someone pulled a blue box to see what's inside the box."

The person corresponding to the scene responded: "Okay."

Cheng Jin looked at the screen that Tu Wen was talking about. A man in a yellow jacket and a light brown fisherman's hat was pulling a large blue plastic box with rollers to cross the square.

An armed policeman stepped forward to stop the other party, said a few words to the other party, bent down to check the other party's box, and then let the other party leave.

Later, the armed police reported to the command center: "The man is an employee of a nearby pet hospital—there is a relatively large pet hospital on Square North Road, and the box that the man is holding is a large pet box. , which contained a large sick dog."

Cheng Jin: "He is an employee of a pet hospital. Their hospital provides door-to-door pick-up services for sick dogs to the hospital for treatment? Why does he walk instead of driving? Such a big pet box, dragging it is troublesome, right?"

The armed policeman was stopped by the question, and said: "I'll go and inquire about the situation carefully."

Five minutes later, a detailed report was sent back to the command center. The dog was sick, but the owner had no time to take him to the hospital, so he paid a pet hospital employee to pick him up at his house.The owner's house is very close to the pet hospital, just opposite the square, and you only need to walk across the square to get there. On the contrary, it takes a long time to drive around and take a detour, so the employee chose to walk.

Ten minutes later, the follow-up report was sent back, and the armed police went to the pet hospital to confirm that the man was indeed an employee of the hospital, and the dog was really sick, and the whole thing was normal.

At 11:30, Cheng Jin went to Kong Yi to check. Kong Yi was still watching the video of the inquiry, but he hadn't found anything new yet.

Cheng Jin was very anxious, it was going to be twelve o'clock, and the bomb exploded at twelve o'clock yesterday - the forecast was also at one o'clock, but it turned out to be earlier than twelve o'clock.

Back in front of the screen wall, Cheng Jin saw that everyone was staring at the screen with serious faces.

The armed policemen on the screen are also serious, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

The time gradually approached twelve o'clock, and everyone's nerves became more and more tense.

"Surveillance No. 37, a delivery man is here, stop him!" a staff member said.

That place is a park, and generally no takeaways go there.

Everyone watched the surveillance nervously. Several armed policemen rushed forward to surround the takeaway boy riding an electric scooter, and opened his takeaway box——

Safety.

The food in the takeaway box is indeed takeaway, and it is a meal ordered by a few people playing in the park.

The second hand jumped, and it was twelve o'clock. All the monitoring screens remained the same, and nothing suddenly changed.

"...It didn't explode." Old Zhao said.

Dai Liangzi: "Contact the Public Security Bureau and ask them if there has been an explosion somewhere."

The monitoring here is all important outdoor public places. Luzhou is very large. Apart from these places, there are many public places where more people gather.

"Yes." The staff next to him responded.

A moment later, the Public Security Bureau replied that no explosion-related alarms had been received so far.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was still no related alarm.

"Then it's one o'clock next," Tu Wen said.

Since it was not an hour earlier like yesterday, it should be planned to launch the attack on time.

Dai Liangzi said: "All groups remain vigilant and continue to observe the surroundings carefully."

Affirmative replies were sent back from various sites one after another.

After a while, Tu Wen said, "There's another one pulling pet boxes."

Cheng Jin looked over and saw that it was still the central square. A woman in a pink blouse, ponytail and sunglasses pulled a red pet box across the square and walked towards Square North Road. She was probably going to the pet hospital.

The armed police stepped forward to check it out, and then let it go.

The woman pulled the pet box to a nearby snack cart, and after staying there for a moment, she left the pet box by the cart and walked in the other direction.

Tu Wen asked, "Where is the woman in the pink top going after leaving the pet box?"

The square replied: "She went to the bathroom."

Tu Wen: "Oh."

Cheng Jin asked: "Why doesn't she drive? She also lives nearby?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Liangzi turned to look at the monitor.

The square replied: "Yes, there are several residential areas nearby."

Seven or eight minutes later, the woman still hadn't come back.

Dai Liangzi: "How long does it take women to go to the bathroom on average?"

"4 minutes." Ms. Li said.

Dai Liangzi immediately said: "I need someone to go to the bathroom to look for that lady, and I need someone to go to the food stall and pull that pet box to an open place."

The square immediately replied: "Yes."

It was lunch time, and there were more than ten customers around the food stall. An armed policeman walked over and picked up the pet box and dragged it to the open space in the distance.

There was a message from the bathroom that the lady was not in the bathroom.

Dai Liangzi said to Old Zhao, "Hurry up and track down that lady's whereabouts."

Then he said to the people on the other side of the square through the microphone: "You all stay away from the pet box. I will send the bomb disposal experts to deal with it. You first evacuate all the people in the central square."

"Yes." The armed police retreated to a distance, stopped passers-by, told them to take a detour, and then let people farther away leave, and at the same time gradually blocked every intersection, and no one was allowed to enter the square.

"Didn't it mean it was just a pet box with a dog in it? Could it be that the box has been modified?" Tu Wen asked.

The armed police saw a dog in the pet box, but he didn't open the pet box to check the inside carefully.

Dai Liangzi: "I'll let the bomb disposal experts see it."

"Why don't you just stop watching it?" Tu Wen said, "Wait until one o'clock." He was worried about sacrificing another bomb disposal expert.

Dai Liangzi: "We can only get more clues if we go to see it. This may not be the last bomb."

Tu Wen stopped talking.

Cheng Jin said to the staff: "Ask the armed police who have communicated with that woman to send her video."

The armed police at the scene are all wearing work recorders, which will record the owner's work process.

Staff: "OK."

Cheng Jin went to ask Kong Yi to come over again: "Let's see if you recognize this woman."

The staff opened the video just sent by the armed police and dragged the progress bar to the section where the woman appeared.

Tu Wen came over to watch together: "This woman's makeup is too heavy, her face is too white, her false eyelashes are too exaggerated, and her blood red lips..."

Kong Yi looked at it for a while, and said, "It looks familiar."

Tu Wen shook his head speechlessly: "You should work harder!"

Dai Liangzi glanced here, and then continued to focus back on the pet box in the central square.

Cheng Jin: "Isn't she the Yuhe who drank with you online?"

"I don't know." Kong Yi said awkwardly, "When I was drinking with Yuhe, she turned on the beauty face, and she didn't look like the woman on the surveillance. Now the beauty face function is very powerful, and the face shape and facial features can be adjusted , like plastic surgery."

Cheng Jin was very helpless, looked around, picked up Yang Simi who was sitting in a daze on the chair, and pulled him to the computer: "Simi, help us think about how to make Kong Yi remember whether this woman is that girl or not?" female netizen."

Tu Wen looked at them, and thought that Yang Simi couldn't solve this kind of problem, since he doesn't know magic.

Kong Yi held his breath nervously—Yang Simi was too close to him.

Yang Simi didn't look at Kong Yi, but looked at Cheng Jin, and said a clichéd sentence: "The eyes are the windows to the soul, you can recall where you have seen her eyes before."

The staff cooperatively adjusted the image of the woman on the screen to the frame where the eyes were clearest.

Kong Yi stared at the computer screen, after a while, he said: "I remembered—"

Tu Wen was shocked, is it really okay?Impossible, it must be a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

Kong Yi got up, walked away and said: "——I saw a woman in the investigation video at my house last night, which is very similar to this woman. They all wear such heavy makeup. I will go find that video .”

Everyone was silent, it turned out that it wasn't the female netizen who remembered it, but if this woman had appeared at the scene of throwing leaflets, then the incident would be partly connected, and it would still be a major harvest.

Tu Wen: "I'll go and have a look."

Cheng Jin didn't follow, instead, he walked to Dai Liangzi's side, and together they looked at the surveillance screen in the central square.

At 12:17, the bomb disposal expert arrived at the square. Wearing heavy protective clothing, he approached the pet box step by step.

Yang Simi walked to Cheng Jin's side, he touched Cheng Jin's finger, Cheng Jin looked at him, and squeezed his hand tightly.

The bomb disposal expert opened the pet box, dragged the unmoving half-sized dog out and put it aside, and began to carefully examine the inside of the pet box. After a while, he said: "The bottom and tail of the box are interlayered."

After a while, the definite result came out: a bomb was installed in the mezzanine of the pet box.

In other words, the bomb planted by the terrorists was found.

Dai Liangzi and bomb disposal experts analyzed the situation of the bomb together, while Cheng Jin listened silently at the side, listening to what the two said, the power of this bomb is not very great, he thought, they guessed that the terrorists would make a big fuss, Did they guess wrong?

Dai Liangzi said to the bomb disposal experts: "Although the countdown shows that there is a small explosion, it may be fake just like yesterday. Don't dismantle it, just leave."

He asked the bomb disposal experts to check the bomb mainly to find out its power. Now that it has been figured out, the bomb disposal experts can evacuate.

What's more important is that the location of the bomb is an open space outdoors, where it can be allowed to explode, unlike when it is indoors, there will be more concerns.

Cheng Jin looked at the time, it was 12:24.

Dai Liangzi: "This bomb is not powerful enough. I suspect that the other party has not only arranged this bomb."

He looked at the other screens, but none of those screens showed anything unusual.

"What do you think?" Dai Liangzi asked Cheng Jin and Yang Simi.

Cheng Jin frowned: "There may be something we didn't expect."

He looked at Yang Simi, and Dai Liangzi also looked at Yang Simi.

"A place you didn't expect?" Yang Simi let his imagination run wild and said, "You all think that terrorists can't bring bombs into important public places such as airports and train stations. If they can do it, then it's because you didn't Thought-of."

Both Cheng Jin and Dai Liangzi were silent, they still felt that terrorists could not enter those areas.

Cheng Jin looked at the time, it was 12:27.

"Changing the direction of thinking," Cheng Jin asked Yang Simi, "regardless of where the bomb is placed, what else might terrorists do that is beyond our expectations?"

Yang Simi: "They can make a big bomb, such as a nuclear bomb, as long as they can find the key main materials, it is not difficult to make. The big bomb has a larger effective range, and it can kill a large number of people when it is detonated anywhere."

Cheng Jin was speechless, as long as Yang Simi was allowed to let his imagination run free, he would really dare to think.

Dai Liangzi's expression changed, and he whispered, "It's not impossible."

Cheng Jin: "... If this is the case, what can we do?"

Dai Liangzi: "Do everything possible to defuse the bomb."

But first you have to find the bomb.

"It exploded!" The staff next to him suddenly exclaimed.
