After Ke Shou left the conference room, he called Deputy Director Jian Ming and reported to him in detail the incident of more than a dozen children going missing in Zhongshi.

“…”

After Ke Shou finished speaking, Jian Ming remained silent on the phone for a long time.

"Deputy Director Jian..." Ke Shou reminded softly.

"Oh, I see. Let's put it this way. I will rush to Central City this afternoon, and the relevant members of the last task force will also rush to your bureau. We will meet together to discuss countermeasures." Jian Ming.

It can be heard that his mood is as heavy as Ke Shou's.

"Okay." Ke Shou felt a little relieved after hearing Ling's words. He thought that the arrival of the department leaders and capable police officers from Huacheng and other cities was the greatest support and encouragement for Zhongshi.

Thinking of this, his anxious mood calmed down a little, and he walked quickly back to the meeting room.

The discussion in the conference room has just begun.

The spokesperson is a young criminal police officer who participated in the early tracking of the missing child's surveillance video.

"Based on the surveillance footage I've reviewed of some of the missing children at their schools and homes, I've found two individuals to be particularly suspicious. One is a tall, sturdy man with a bald head; the other is a woman of medium height wearing black-rimmed glasses. They've both appeared in places where Chong, Han, Mengmeng, and Mickey have appeared. However, because the footage is from traffic intersections, the image isn't very clear. I suggest reviewing the surveillance footage of bus passengers getting on and off; perhaps clear facial images can be found. With clear facial images, we can retrieve information about the relevant individuals."

"You're right. You can start working on this right away. Don't wait until the meeting is over." Ke Shou.

"Comrades, I have just reported to the provincial department on what happened in Zhong City. This afternoon, Deputy Director Jian Ming will bring members of the special task force to our Zhong City Criminal Investigation Bureau to analyze the case and deploy the next stage of work. This is the greatest support and encouragement for our work. Now, let's speak up and pool our wisdom to strive to produce the case analysis materials of our Zhong City Bureau at the afternoon meeting." Ke Shou.

There was a commotion in the conference room...everyone seemed very excited.

"Let me say a few words." This is Zhang Liushan from the Second Criminal Police Brigade.

"The child abduction incident in Zhong City happened suddenly, with a large number of cases and a uniform distribution across the region. It doesn't seem like the work of an individual trafficker, but rather a well-planned and systematic operation by a group," Liu Fan said. He then stood up, walked over to a large whiteboard, and used a pen to outline the distribution of the cases:

"Please see, the cases are very evenly distributed this time. The child abductions occurred in the East, South, West, and North districts of Central City. The East and South districts are located in the bustling areas of Central City, while the West and North districts are located in the remote areas at the junction of urban and rural areas. Moreover, the number of missing children in each district is similar." Liu fanned out, indicating the approximate locations of the missing children in each district...

After he outlined it, everyone's eyes lit up. It was indeed true. Liu Shan continued to analyze:

"Look everyone, in the first phase, Chong, Jiajia, and Han were missing. They all belonged to the same prosperous area in the east, although Hanhan's home was in the suburban area."

"In the second phase, the missing Mengmeng, Hua, and Xiangxiang all belonged to the prosperous area in the south, although the Hua family is located in the rural area in the south..."
