At the same time, real time and space.
The meeting room of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Qindao Municipal Bureau was filled with smoke.
More than a dozen elite officers from the Municipal Bureau gathered in this not very large conference room. Looking at the content projected on the wall, each of them had a solemn expression and remained silent.
The tightly closed curtains made the light in the room very dim, and the cigarettes smoked by everyone filled the air with a pungent smell that even a heavy smoker would find unbearable.
The ashtrays on the conference table were almost full of cigarette butts. It was obvious that the meeting had lasted for quite a long time, but it seemed that no consensus had been reached that everyone could agree on.
The projection on the wall always stays on a photo of the car accident scene.
If you look closely, you will find that the license plate number in the photo of the tragic scene of the car accident is exactly the number of the tram driven by Sun Fulin.
Sun Fulin, the second-in-command of the Municipal Bureau, a well-known young and powerful figure in the Qindao system, who was considered to have unlimited prospects, unexpectedly died on the spot in a car accident in the urban area of Qindao!
Although this incident happened not long ago, it has already caused an uproar in the entire Qindao political arena!
Although the accident scene was extremely tragic and Sun Fulin was confirmed dead on the spot after the accident, the overall situation at the scene was not complicated. After the police cordoned off the scene, it took little effort to find out the whole situation.
However, the findings from the on-site investigation were not convincing to those who were paying attention to this matter!
In particular, after checking the surveillance footage, it was discovered that the tram driven by Sun Fulin suddenly accelerated without any warning, and then hit the back of the truck directly without any dodge!
The Municipal Bureau immediately thought that this car accident was very strange!
The matter involved the second-in-command, so he had to take it seriously. From discovering the problem, to mobilizing all police forces at the first moment, to arranging the investigation, and finally holding the current meeting, the efficiency of the entire process was enough to make anyone who didn't know the truth marvel!
If all cases were treated with this level of attention, not only would the rivers and seas be peaceful and people could leave their doors unlocked at night, but at least the vast majority of potential criminals would be deterred, raising the level of public security in society to a higher level.
"Okay, we've seen what we need to see and investigated what we need to investigate. Now, tell us what you think about this car accident. Those who believe it was indeed just an ordinary traffic accident and that the root cause of the accident was a problem with the tram system, please raise your hands."
Cheng Wannian, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke in a deep voice.
Logically speaking, regardless of whether the car accident was accidental or man-made, he, as the top leader, should not be the one to preside over the investigation meeting.
The specific things will naturally be done by the people below. What he should do is wait for the people below to come up with the investigation results and then report to the people above.
However, Sun Fulin's identity was too sensitive and special, the incident happened suddenly, and the situation was a bit weird. Cheng Wannian was under tremendous pressure and had no choice but to break the rules.
The people on both sides of the conference table looked at each other, but no one raised their arms.
Seeing this, Cheng Wannian continued, "Doesn't everyone think that this wasn't just an ordinary traffic accident caused by an accident, but a murder caused by someone with a clear intention?"
A young man sitting to Cheng Wannian's right said, "Director Cheng, judging from the surveillance footage, the vehicle's sudden acceleration is very strange. Even if the city roads were very clear at the time, it would be impossible for a normal person to drive at a speed of over 160 km/h in such a short period of time.
Urban road conditions are far more complex than highways. Even those who enjoy driving fast will pay attention to controlling their speed when driving on urban roads. Moreover, the vehicle did not make any dodging maneuvers when it hit the rear end of the truck, but just hit it directly.
"From a human survival instinct perspective, unless a driver has received professional training, upon realizing a collision is imminent, they will subconsciously steer the vehicle. However, neither acceleration nor direct impact is completely incompatible with instinct!"
At this point, the young man exchanged glances with the others at the conference table before continuing, "The manufacturer and operator of that vehicle provided us with very detailed and comprehensive records, which basically prove that the vehicle did experience a system malfunction before the accident.
It seemed like the malfunction was simply bad luck; at least in the information logs, there was no evidence of hacking or human manipulation. However, the driver also mentioned that they had never encountered such a sudden high-speed acceleration, brake failure, or even a locked steering wheel.
They don't even know why this malfunction suddenly occurred, because these three malfunctions actually conflict with each other in their vehicle system. To have them occur simultaneously would completely violate their system logic! Director Cheng, although there is currently no substantial evidence, I still believe this is murder!
Cheng Wannian said with a gloomy face: "Whether it is murder or not, it is not your guess that matters, but the evidence! Since you all think it is murder, then where is the evidence? Show me the evidence! Otherwise, how can I explain it to the higher-ups?
Even if all of you harbor suspicions and believe there are too many doubts, as long as there is no clear evidence to prove your beliefs, we can only close this case as an ordinary traffic accident. Do you understand? "
As Cheng Wannian finished speaking, a middle-aged detective sitting opposite the young man suddenly spoke up, "Director Cheng, let's assume this was indeed a complete murder. That means the murderer was hiding behind the scenes and could easily hack into the vehicle's system, remotely controlling it while leaving no trace.
Such technical capabilities are absolutely beyond our imagination! At least I asked my colleagues in the technical department, and according to their explanation, they absolutely don't have such capabilities! Forget them, even if it were someone at the General Administration or even the National Security Bureau, they would definitely not be able to do this! So the murderer must be at least a super hacker.
My suggestion is to publicly close this case as a traffic accident and make it public, so as to lower the alarm of the murderer, if there is indeed a murderer. The bureau will then form a separate task force to conduct a secret investigation into this case. The first thing they need to determine is… whether this case is actually murder!
Cheng Wannian thought about it, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay, let's do it!"
