Chapter 185: Special Emergency (1)
At 2:00 PM, a special emergency case analysis meeting was held again at the Central City Criminal Investigation Bureau...
Unlike the morning meeting, the task force's leader, Deputy Director Jian Ming, along with Deputy Team Leader Li Li, two female professors from the Police College, and several criminal police captains from neighboring cities, including Sun Liang, were all present. Ke Shou, Wen Bai, and Shang Yi, the three criminal police captains from Zhong City, also attended the meeting.
The meeting was chaired by Deputy Director Jian Ming.
His shining black eyes looked sharp and wise, and his hands were crossed on the conference table.
"Comrades, we have just finished a special seminar at the provincial department and assigned work tasks. In just a few days, there have been more than a dozen cases in Zhongshi City where parents have reported their children missing to the police!" The concise voice was heavy.
"The sheer number of children missing this time, with such short intervals, is shocking. We suspect this is connected to the hidden international human trafficking ring we last investigated. Where are these dozen missing children likely to be? Where will they be sent next? What measures should we take to block the criminals' transportation routes and save the children? This question is now an urgent one for every one of us!" He spoke concisely. His voice was loud and resounding.
"Therefore, we are holding a special emergency meeting this afternoon to discuss countermeasures so that we can take action as soon as possible. Now, first of all, please allow Ke Shou, the Criminal Investigation Bureau Director of Zhong City, to report the first-hand situation to everyone." After the brief explanation, he looked at Ke Shou and signaled that he could begin.
"Leaders and comrades, first of all, on behalf of all the officers of the Zhong City Criminal Investigation Bureau, I would like to express my gratitude to you all. Thank you for gathering in Zhong City at the earliest opportunity to work together and develop countermeasures to solve this case of more than a dozen missing children." Ke Shou began with the usual words of thanks. He then began to explain the spate of children disappearing in the city's four districts over a period of time. As he did so, he displayed a PowerPoint presentation on the screen, which included detailed profiles of more than a dozen children, a distribution map of the four districts where the children had disappeared, and a breakdown of the time the children had disappeared...
"This morning, when we held a case analysis meeting in the bureau, after discussion, we reached the following consensus on this sudden case..." Ke Shou.
"First, although this case happened in Zhongshi, the root may still be in Huacheng. It is very likely that the criminal group lurking in Huacheng deliberately abducted children in the neighboring Zhongshi in order to distract our attention, lower our vigilance, and avoid our tracking of them." Ke Shou.
"Secondly, through analysis of the time, location, and number of people involved in this case, we believe this was committed by an experienced, habitual criminal, and most likely by an international human trafficking ring. Why is this so? Please see the PPT chart..." Ke Shou pointed at the screen with a pen:
"They first committed crimes in the prosperous downtown area of the East District and abducted four children; then, the traffickers moved to the prosperous downtown area of the South District and abducted three children; then they went to the West District and captured four children; and finally, they went to the North District and captured three more children... Judging from the time of the crimes, it was progressive; judging from the crime areas, they committed crimes one after another; and judging from the number of children they captured, roughly on average, there were three to four in each area..." Ke Shou.
