Chapter 246 The investigation is not going well...
After Qiu Jiang took out the advanced bomb, Tian Heng no longer explained why she rushed to find him on just the first day at work.
Not only was he unable to speak these words, he was also unable to concentrate on anything else. After inspecting the bomb for a week and confirming that there was no possibility of explosion, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to analyze the bomb without stopping.
The more I analyze, the more surprised I am.
So I kept confirming with her, "You said this wasn't done in-house?"
Qiu Jiang said patiently, "Yes."
Every time this happened, he looked even more dazed and solemn.
According to the structure and design of this bomb, there is absolutely no possibility of it being circulated on the market.
"So it's quite professional?" Qiu Jiang asked.
Tian Heng's expression was complicated. "Not only is he professional, but he's also skilled at setting traps. In the past, green was usually our safety line. Even if we misjudged it, we could just choose one of the three colors. But this bomb is incredibly deceptive. It seems like cutting any one of the strings will stop the explosion, but it's all an illusion. He stops the bomb's countdown to give people hope, then resumes the countdown at breakneck speed to detonate. A bomb of this magnitude, and it didn't even come from within our ranks, is terrifying."
Just think about it, those homemade pistols and explosive packs alone could have caused a fight between two villages involving thousands of people, resulting in countless casualties, not to mention bombs of this size.
If bombs of this magnitude were still in the hands of private individuals in the country, the danger would be absolutely too great to be tolerated.
After hearing this, Qiu Jiang frowned tightly.
I can’t imagine why this kind of bomb would appear in Anxi.
Thinking about the two groups throwing explosives at each other at the Xiaohe Bridge, and then the group of young people on motorcycles intending to detonate bombs in the city to threaten them to let them go, and then to the bomb Wang Li gave them, the level of danger was rising step by step.
However, Anxi is just a small city. Once or twice such incidents have already been outrageous. Now there has been another bomb. She has a very bad premonition in her heart. She can't help but wonder if there is a very scary arms gang hiding in Anxi, and their technology is rapidly improving.
If this is true, then Wang Li is so busy that he is thinking the same thing.
The results of the bomb analysis he had asked them to do had exceeded their previous worst-case scenarios.
Could this be a bad sign?
Qiu Jiang stood in front of Tian Heng, her brows furrowed, feeling an unshakable worry and fear.
Until the evening, this state had not been relieved. She sat alone on the sofa, holding Sasha, rubbing the cat with her hands from time to time, and was in a daze.
Ji Mingcheng approached slowly, paused for a moment, and then walked over to sit next to her. He stretched out his arms and hugged both her and Sasha in his arms.
Qiu Jiang blinked, came back to look at him, and asked hurriedly, "Acheng, do you have any news?"
"Yeah." Ji Mingcheng rubbed her head.
She became visibly anxious.
He first told her what he had learned today, but as soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Jiang was shocked.
"What? A similar bomb has been found in Hong Kong?"
Although to outsiders, all bombs are dangerous goods and there is no difference, but for insiders, they can judge the common techniques and subtle characteristics of bomb making from various aspects, and even tell whether they belong to the same batch.
But you have to know that Anxi is 18,000 miles away from Hong Kong, with countless provinces in between. As a result, a similar explosive has appeared now.
Ji Mingcheng continued to speak with a frown on his face, "According to the results of today's investigation, this batch of explosives first appeared five years ago and caused a building to completely collapse, killing hundreds of people. However, since that incident, no similar bombs have appeared in Hong Kong. Their appearance in Anxi this time is definitely not a good thing."
The two of them obviously agreed that this was a very dangerous signal.
Knowing the danger, the two of them called Wang Li immediately.
After hearing this result which was comparable to the worst outcome, Wang Li actually felt that the matter was settled.
He had already made preparations long after he traced the six bombs.
But... when that day finally came, besides the dust settling, the anxiety was also growing day by day, for I was afraid that the nightmare at night would become reality.
The three of them talked on the phone for a long time until they integrated all the information they knew about each other.
Through this information, they reached a consensus on one point.
There is a very dangerous person or group who is proficient in weapons, firearms, and explosives and has built a large network between Xiangjiang and Anxi. The beginning of this network can even be traced back to five years ago.
It’s a pity that all those who possessed these bombs and may have known the origin of these explosives have been killed.
Thinking of the prisoner robbery and murder that could have caused an explosion in the city nearly a year ago, as well as Sun Shengze and others who tied explosives to their bodies and tried to escape on a motorcycle, Qiu Jiang and Wang Li were both silent.
Ji Mingcheng had already left Anxi at that time, but he had seen some general information about the incident in the newspaper and knew how dangerous the situation was.
So even though the three of them are now worried that the clues have been cut off, they cannot say that they should not have done that in the first place.
It can only be said that no one expected that there was such a dangerous criminal hiding behind this.
To this day, they don’t even know whether the other party is a single person or a gang, which is really disturbing.
The three of them were silent for a long time, until midnight, when they finally exchanged opinions.
"Since there were traces of these bombs in Hong Kong, we might be able to trace the movements of those people here."
Ji Mingcheng finished speaking, and Wang Li followed up, "Right now, there's basically no progress in the clues in Anxi, but I think since these bombs appeared in Anxi more than half a year ago, there must be other traces left. I will report this to the director tomorrow."
After they finished speaking, Qiu Jiang felt a little sad, but she cheered up and said, "I'm sorry, there's no news from Peng City yet, but I found a gunpowder expert to see if he can determine which gang it was from based on the bomb itself."
"Okay, in that case, let's go our separate ways." Ji Mingcheng concluded.
"yes--"
"yes--"
Qiu Jiang and Wang Li responded subconsciously.
None of the three felt anything was wrong, but after they realized what was happening, they couldn't help but smile.
"I really miss the days when we investigated cases together."
Wang Li said with emotion.
However, although they miss the past, they all know that they are fighting for the common criminal police career, and this feeling is even more exciting.
It seems like there is never a shortage of fellow travelers on this road.
They will always be each other's strongest support.
There will be no barriers due to the obstacles of time and space.
That’s great.
As for this case, no matter what the other party's origin is, since they have found clues, it proves that the other party is not an airtight iron barrel.
In this case, they can definitely find each other's weaknesses.
When they hung up the phone, there was a smile in their eyes and a determination to get to the bottom of the matter.
In the next few days, Ji Mingcheng and Wang Li were each pursuing their own clues, while Qiu Jiang became more familiar with Tian Heng.
It can't be said that she was trying to please him intentionally, but whenever she invited the team members to dinner, she would definitely bring a portion for Tian Heng.
This way, when you ask the other party about some progress, you won't be asking for help empty-handed.
It is said that those who receive favors from others will be grateful, and those who eat from others will be soft-hearted. Tian Heng is no exception.
Ahem, of course the most important reason why he followed the progress so closely was definitely because he clearly understood the seriousness of the matter.
As for having a new and generous friend, it is definitely a pleasant surprise.
More than half a month later, Tian Heng came to visit, and he seemed very anxious. Qiu Jiang, who was so busy investigating the case that she hadn't even had time to eat lunch, suddenly lost her appetite and hurriedly asked, "Is there any progress?"
"There really has been some unexpected progress."
Tian Heng nodded.
"Great, let's find a place to talk."
Qiu Jiang said excitedly.
"Jiang Jiang, you don't want to eat?" Deng Xingwang shouted at her back.
"I don't want to eat anymore—"
Her voice was full of joy, and she was obviously in a good mood.
He vaguely knew that they were investigating arms and ammunition. Thinking of what Tian Heng had just said, he couldn't help but eat a few mouthfuls of rice and chased after them.
Qiu Jiang didn't want to hide it from him, but it was not convenient for others to know. They went to Tian Heng's office and looked at the documents he took out.
"I recently investigated the bombs that have appeared in Peng City and even the entire province in recent years. I didn't expect to actually find such bombs within our own territory."
"We have some here too?"
Qiu Jiang asked in surprise.
You know, at the beginning the three of them suspected that the gang was committing crimes in Anxi and Xiangjiang, and had never been to Peng City. If it can now be confirmed that the same type of bomb has appeared here, then it is no surprise that it can be inferred that the gang is involved in a very large area, and she can also conduct investigations through the trajectory of bombs in the local area.
She couldn't hide her joy until he made another discovery that put an end to it.
"Not only did it happen here, but it also happened in the United States four years ago, right..."
He described in detail what he had learned from his foreign friends, his expression very solemn.
"At the time, the police were investigating a number of missing women. I heard one of them had infiltrated the enemy and seemed to have some very important information. They agreed to meet at a hotel the next day. But when the others arrived, the hotel suddenly exploded. They recovered bomb fragments and a bomb that had been dismantled in time and didn't explode."
"For the past four years, the other party has been pursuing this clue, but unfortunately there has been no progress."
He could hardly hide his fear when he said this.
Because based on the information currently available, it can be said that they may be facing an extremely dangerous transnational criminal gang.
"Xiao Qiu, you have to be prepared for this."
He gave her earnest advice, and his concern for her was self-evident.
However, what's the use of being prepared? The danger still exists. Even he himself cannot be convinced by this comfort.
But although he was a gunpowder expert, he had little experience in dealing with criminal gangs and could not give her much valuable advice. He could only suggest that she consult her superiors.
"Ask for instructions, of course I have to ask for instructions."
Qiu Jiang frowned, muttered to himself, then turned and left.
Deng Xingwang was stunned by what he heard, and he just followed her out subconsciously based on his animal-like instinct.
