Swallowing the Seas

"Here, this is the section." The Technical Investigator of the Wuqiao Sub-bureau took a pen and tapped on the display screen.

From Wang Jiuling of the Nancheng Branch to the analysts of the Wuqiao Branch, all the technical detectives in the world love to turn their pens and tap their pens on the screen, which may be a unique hobby passed down from generation to generation.Several people leaned over to watch the high-definition sharpened surveillance, but compared with just now, they found nothing more—the blind spot of the surveillance is the same, only the kidnapper’s back, legs, a faint hand, and even the back of the head can be photographed. None, absolutely unable to analyze any appearance characteristics.

"It has been almost four hours since the criminals last contacted the victim's family. The investigation found that the other party was using an anonymous dial-up platform. The servers of this platform are generally set up abroad, and the tracking value is basically not great." Yang Chengdong held a bowl Master Kang ate the braised beef noodles with a sigh of relief, with a gloomy face while eating: "I just called the criminal police on the scene to persuade Tao Zhengqing's family to put the 44 four back into the trash can, and spread a blanket nearby. A large number of plainclothes ambushes, and now we can only hope that the kidnappers will go back to the trash can to get the money."

Liao Gang wondered, "Didn't you insist that the kidnappers want to kill for nothing?"

Yang Chengdong became angry with embarrassment: "Didn't I be teased by Officer Wu of your team?!"

Officer Wu at the center of the dispute turned a deaf ear to it, staring at the 25-second surveillance video that was played over and over again, frowning in silence.

"Why are you arguing again?" Song Ping's dissatisfied scolding came from the door again, Liao Gang and Yang Chengdong turned their heads at the same time, and everyone stopped in their tracks: "Ju Song!"

With Bu Chonghua behind him, Song Ping didn't have the heart to greet people at all, strode into the evidence room and asked, "How's the situation now?"

Everyone's reaction when they saw Boss Song was that the tiger's body shook and the chrysanthemum tightened, because there was no situation at all.No situation is the worst situation. You don’t know if the kidnappers plan to wait a few days and nights before contacting the victim’s family, or if they don’t do anything, they just tear up the ticket completely. up.

"It's just trash!" Song Ping slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily, "People who are on high alert on the public security intranet, even if they go to the kindergarten to pick up a child, they will be kidnapped!"

Everyone dared not speak.

"...Old Song," Xu Zuxin cleared his throat, and said softly, "Do you think this kidnapping case may have something to do with Wan Changwen, or is it simply a play performed by Peng Wan himself?"

This speculation is not unfounded. Wan Changwen is not in the hands of the police so far. If he is actively looking for a way to smuggle abroad during this period, he will probably want to bring his most precious and important incense, the three-year-old grandson Tao. Ze—whether it's his surname or not doesn't matter, it's just a matter of bringing it along.

As for Peng Wan, who knows if she really hates her own father who threw herself into the water back then?Wan Changwen has nothing else, money can't be spent in a few lifetimes, and it's hard to say what a person will become in front of money.

Song Ping's expression was gloomy: "Then either take this opportunity to catch the group of people surnamed Wan, or just like 30 years ago, watch them fled across the border again, and then turn around and kill a few people for revenge. A policeman!"

If it was said that everyone just didn't dare to look at Boss Song's face just now, no one even dared to look at Bu Chonghua's face now.

The whole room was silent, and at this moment, someone coughed, "—Sorry."

Everyone turned their heads to look, it was Wu Yu.

Now when Song Ping saw Wu Yu's face, he had a lot of thoughts and feelings, and he didn't know if it was his own pig... his own cabbage cheated other cabbage or other cabbage seduced his own cabbage: "What's wrong with you? "

Wu Yu ignored the others, and only pointed to the lower right corner of the screen and asked the analyst: "Can you make this bigger?"

"It's ok, but that's about it for the biggest one—here. The pixels are a bit blurry. If you want to make it clearer, you have to send it to the Municipal Bureau's Physical Evidence Center. Our technology here can't do it."

Wu Yu raised his hand to stop the analyst, frowned and replayed the 25-second video several times. Yang Chengdong couldn't help asking, "What are you watching?"

"..."

Yang Chengdong now felt that he was really being targeted: "Hey, I said Officer Xiao Wu——"

Wu Yu got up and interrupted him: "I may know why the kidnappers left without taking the money."

"what?!"

Everyone's expressions changed dramatically at the same time, only to see Wu Yu tap the lower right corner of the screen: "There is someone here."

Bu Chonghua stepped forward, Yang Chengdong squeezed Liao Gang away abruptly, and put his heads together in front of the computer screen - only to see a light blue block suddenly appeared in the lower right corner at the 5th second of the video, occupying the entire screen area. The area is less than 1/4 of a fingernail, and it disappeared after half a second. If Wu Yu hadn't asked the analyst to zoom in and sharpen it, he would not have noticed it with the naked eye.

At the 12th second of the video, the light blue block appeared again, this time expanding to about 1 square centimeter, and the duration lasted for two and a half seconds; at the 19th second, the color block appeared and became clearer, but it moved about Ten meters away, until the end of the video, the screen froze its raised arc.

"What is this?" Yang Chengdong twisted his nose and leaned in front of the LCD screen: "It doesn't feel very heavy, it seems to be flying. This is... Could this be a pattern?"

"It looks like a skirt." Bu Chonghua frowned, "Could it be that there was a girl standing here wearing a skirt when the kidnappers appeared?"

Yang Chengdong: "Oh shit!"

"Let's assume it's really a skirt first." Wu Yu took the mouse to circle the colored blocks on the screen: "This kind of skirt is quite large on the body, wedding dresses don't use this color, it may be an ancient costume or that... that kind Dress up like a cartoon character's dress."

The technical detective interjected in a low voice: "What you want to talk about is Hanfu or cosplay..."

Wu Yu nodded, and the faint light reflected in his focused eyes: "The place where this person first appeared was about 30 meters away from the kidnappers, and there was a street lamp and a few trees in the middle, which means that he would not be an obstacle to the kidnappers." , because it is normal for tourists to be nearby in broad daylight, and passers-by will not be suspicious of the kidnapper dressed as a sanitation worker. But you see, when she walks here from this position, she is getting closer and closer to the kidnapper." Everyone looked at They all rotate with the mouse on the screen: "The posture of the skirt corner in the camera has changed, indicating that she has stayed, walked, and changed various angles..."

"She's taking pictures." Wu Yu pressed pause, and said in a deep voice, "At that time, the wind at the scene didn't even move the leaves, and she was posing for the raised skirt."

——In other words, the cameraman may have included the kidnapper in the shot, and the kidnapper himself has discovered this!

Yang Chengdong jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, but before he had time to react, he led Director Hou to rush out, almost knocking the oncoming technical investigation director into a stagger: "Call out the complete monitoring again. ! Who was the person who took the photo at the time! Call up the portrait and investigate immediately!"

The atmosphere in the room had changed at this moment. Song Ping let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help looking at Wu Yu with his hips on his hips: "Your eyesight is really good, isn't it [-]:[-]?"

Wu Yu didn't say anything.When he got up, the back of his shirt loosened according to his movements, and then he rolled the cuffs on both sides to his elbows, and traces of sweat were faintly visible in his temple hair.

In fact, it wasn't that hot. The evidence room was air-conditioned.But he just analyzed such a long string of words in front of a room full of directors and directors, and he became the center of everyone's attention, which made him very uncomfortable, but no one could find out.

"Ah, yes, Xiao Wu's eyes have always been good." Xu Zuxin saw that Wu Yu's reaction was very cold, fearing that Song Ping would not be able to get off the stage in public, so he quickly answered: "Then how is this case handled now? Is the city bureau chief handling it?"

Song Ping thought for a while, and pointed at Bu Chonghua: "Before determining the identity and motive of the kidnapper, we must adopt the principle of avoiding the leader of the detachment according to the regulations. In addition, a special case team was set up for this case. People are shared by Deputy Liao Detachment and Deputy Yang Detachment."

"Yes!"

"Once a relationship between Peng Wan and Wan Changwen is discovered, it must be reported immediately to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and the Jinhai Municipal Bureau shall report to the Ministry of Public Security." Song Ping pointed his index finger in front of the noses of Yang Chengdong and Liao Gang, and said sternly: "Project The team leader is shared by the two of you, if you want to see people, if you want to die, you need to see corpses, even corpses! Do you understand?!"

The two were shocked at the same time: "Understood!"

Song Ping walked out of the evidence room with his hands behind his back. Xu Zuxin pointed at Bu Chonghua and Liao Gang's noses one by one, gritted his teeth, and then quickly followed Song Ping away.

Only Bu Chonghua, Wu Yu, Liao Gang, and Yang Chengdong were left in front of the surveillance screen. You looked at me and I looked at you. The atmosphere suddenly changed from undercurrent to tense.

Yang Chengdong looked here and there, and found that he was single against three, and his only weapon of mass destruction was half a bowl of Master Kong's Braised Beef Noodles, but he had no reason to start the war, so he could only express it from his nose Confused himself with disdain and arrogance: "Humph!"

Bu Chonghua turned a deaf ear: "Liao Gang."

"Hey!"

"Go and check Peng Wan's communication records during this period, who she met, what she said, what she bought, whether there is any abnormality in the driving record, and pay attention to whether she has any relationship with the people from Wan Changwen's hometown. Any contact. Go!"

Liao Gang immediately turned around and ran out: "Yes!"

"—Hey, wait, wait." Yang Chengdong immediately became famous, his nose is not his nose and his eyes are not his eyes: "I heard that right, right, the captain of the detachment? Aren't you trying to avoid this case? Woke up?"

Bu Chonghua didn't even give him a look, and stretched out his hand to brush the black hair on Wu Yu's ears behind his ears, and said in a low voice, "I can't participate in this case anymore, and Liao Gang is relatively average in solving cases, and there are many details. You have to keep an eye on it yourself. It’s fine as it was just now, if you find anything, you must muster up the courage to speak up in time, and you must not shrink back, you know?”

Wu Yu hesitated for a moment, then rubbed the bridge of his nose and laughed: "...I don't have much experience..."

"What? What did you say?" Yang Chengdong felt as if he had been greatly humiliated: "Can you stop pretending to be a wolf with a big tail in front of me?"

Bu Chonghua frowned and looked at Wu Yu: "Sooner or later, you will become an independent criminal investigator, and you are no worse than anyone else now. Many people who have worked on the front line for more than ten years to solve cases are not clear to you. Why do you feel that you are inferior to those people?"

Yang Chengdong: "Who are those people? Are you cueing me? Wait, are you cueing me?!"

Wu Yu wanted to say something but couldn't speak, so he lowered his head and murmured: "I know, I just..."

This movement of his revealed one side of his fair neck, the light blue blood vessels were particularly obvious under the skin, and disappeared into the collar of the white shirt.Wu Yu's line from chin to shoulder and neck is almost as perfect as a sculpture textbook, and the collar has three buttons. From Bu Chonghua's angle, one can just see a faint trace of the fabric under the collarbone.

Bu Chonghua stretched out his hand to fasten the third button for him naturally, and then thought of something: "By the way, don't always follow them to eat instant noodles. Eating it for a long time will affect the function of the stomach and the health of the brain. I ordered it for you just now. I ordered sea urchin and eel rice, and it will be delivered to Wuqiao branch later, remember to eat it while it is hot."

With a slap, the fork fell into the instant noodle soup, and Yang Chengdong's voice trembled: "What brain health? Who affects brain health? Bu Chonghua, are you going too far, tell me the fuck again?!"

"Yeah." Wu Yu finally raised his head, and barely raised the corner of his lips briefly: "Then you go back and wait for me first, let's deal with this case as soon as possible, and hope it won't take too long."

The two of them stood looking at each other, and Yang Chengdong on the other side was about to go crazy: "Why are you pretending to be Brokeback Mountain in front of me! You did it on purpose! You did it on purpose for me to see, right!! I want to make everyone laugh today! My surname is not Yang if the eel rice enters the gate of Wuqiao Sub-bureau!!!”

As soon as the voice finished speaking, the director came back, holding a takeaway bag in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Whose is this? Wu Yu from the Video Processing Office of the Evidence Room of the Technical Investigation Department on the third floor of the Wuqiao Public Security Bureau... Officer Xiao Wu? Are you sure?" rice?"

Bu Chonghua took it over with a calm demeanor: "Thank you for waiting." Then he handed it to Wu Yu.

Yang Chengdong: "...Who is going to invite this Bu guy out!!"

The waiting bureau didn't really care about other people eating in the office, but he looked at the big box of super luxurious rice, and couldn't help swallowing the taste of sauerkraut, thinking that young people would really enjoy it these days: "That... the analyst just brought back the full unprocessed video, and your analysis is basically correct. There was indeed someone taking pictures near the scene when the kidnappers were rummaging through the trash can. The only thing is, that person was a man. The piece of cloth in the corner is his costume sleeve. It also explains why the kidnappers didn't notice what they were doing right away."

Indeed, if it is a well-dressed little girl, many people will first think whether someone will take pictures near her, but if it is a man, they will not immediately think of it.

"I have had people sharpen the man in ancient costume in the video in high-definition, and immediately started to trace the whereabouts and identity information of the man after getting the clear image." Waiting Bureau said: "According to the report on the scene, the kidnappers did not return to the river canal. There are signs of rummaging through trash cans, so now we can only hope that the kidnapper's face can be captured in the photo of the man in ancient costume."

The water amusement park on Saturday was crowded with people, but four hours had passed since the kidnapping happened, and there was no news from the kidnappers, and no contact was made with the family members of the hostages.

Did the kidnappers be caught in the photos of the men in ancient costumes?Are the kidnappers still coming to get the ransom that is like a death notice?

The surroundings were full of solemnity, only the technical inspector was hesitant to speak, and after a while he finally mustered up his courage again, and whispered, "...that's called Hanfu..."
