"In which direction did the three deceased kneel?"
"When the Hummer sank into the pond, it didn't just sink randomly?"
"The kneeling position must have been specially adjusted."
"This criminal is so fucking weird!"
"The key point is that the line drawn by Shen Xu does point to the old industrial area."
“That’s not all.
This line passes through the old industrial area and passes many factories along the way.
Among them, one is indeed a copper smelter.
On the contrary, other factories with the '冂' part are not on this straight line."
Tang Ren: "Wow, this detective has a feeling that this case is going to be solved~~~"
Shen Ting also had a similar premonition.
"Combined with Shen Xu's findings, 冂 might actually represent copper.
That copper smelter is probably very crucial."
He immediately used [Information Sharing] to obtain all the information about the Qinghe Copper Smelter.
He took a quick look and was stunned.
I was surprised, but soon took it for granted.
The Qinghe Copper Smelter marked by the line had actually been closed down a long time ago.
The factories in the old industrial zone were closed down and relocated one after another sixteen or seventeen years ago.
This copper smelter was closed even earlier, twenty years ago.
Because a major safety accident occurred.
A total of 45 people died!
Chen Ting suddenly remembered that Xiong Beibei had explained it when they were investigating the Sanyapo Pond.
The serious pollution of Sanyapo Pond was caused by a metal refinery accident many years ago.
The high-temperature molten metal melted and collapsed the sewage storage tank, causing sewage to enter the river upstream of the pond.
The jars are filled with highly polluted liquids.
This resulted in the pond not being able to be purified naturally for twenty years.
Xiong Beibei couldn't remember whether it was a copper smelter or a steel smelter at the time, but it was most likely the Qinghe Copper Smelter.
"So, the murderer's choice of the pond at Sanyapo to sink the car was not a coincidence, nor was it simply because it was relatively safe there.
Was it deliberately arranged?"
Shen Ting actually had a question before.
A few months after the incident, the investigation team concluded its investigation and withdrew.
The criminals specially arranged an excavator to bury the Hummer.
Then why not just lift the Hummer up and crush it completely? Wouldn't that be more seamless?
Even now, twelve years later, group members can figure out the criminal's trick of dumping the car.
Even if the car is smashed, there is no way to investigate.
It can be said that there is truly no trace left.
The key point is that given the criminal's cautious character and intelligence, he would definitely consider this method and be able to do it.
But I didn’t do that!
Now, Shen Ting vaguely got the answer.
The criminals did not lift the car, most likely to make the three people in the car kneel there and repent from afar towards the copper smelter.
As for what he wanted to confess, was it related to the steel plant accident that year?
Are the criminals the families of the 45 victims back then?
…
Shen Ting thought quickly, at this moment, the police car suddenly stopped!
The convoy has arrived at the old industrial area.
All I see is a desolate scene!
The empty factory!
Tall, yellow weeds!
A skinny wild dog running around!
Broken equipment discarded everywhere!
Zheng Yuanqiao's voice came from the intercom:
“We’ve arrived at the old industrial area!
A large team was divided into five groups to conduct separate investigations.
Try to search this place thoroughly before dark."
Shen Ting looked at the time on his phone and it was already 12 o'clock.
There is only one full day left before the five-day deadline to solve the case.
He turned to Xiong Beibei beside him and said:
"Brother Xiong, tell Captain Zheng that we should go directly to the Qinghe Copper Smelter."
Although Xiong Beibei was confused, he still took out the walkie-talkie and told Captain Zheng the exact words.
Qinghe Copper Smelter?
Zheng Yuanqiao was stunned for a moment and questioned directly:
"Little Bear, don't joke.
The Qinghe Copper Smelter has no direct connection with the case.
It’s safer to check each factory one by one.”
"Ahem, Captain Zheng, this is Shen Ting's suggestion."
"Chen Ting?"
Captain Zheng was a little surprised:
"Okay, then listen to Shen Ting. He must have his own reasons..."
Xiong Beibei: “(???)”
No, Captain Zheng, your double standard is a bit obvious, isn't it?
My advice is, don't joke around.
Chen Ting, must have his reasons?
…
Zheng Yuanqiao changed the command directly on the intercom:
“There’s no need to split up into teams for investigation first.
Listen to Chen Ting and go directly to the Qinghe Copper Smelting Plant!"
The police officers who had already started to split up were also confused when they heard this.
"Go to the Qinghe Copper Smelting Plant?
This case, is it related to the copper smelter?"
"Where was the criminal's base set up back then?"
"The question is, how did Shen Ting determine this?"
"Currently, there are no clues pointing to the copper smelter, right?"
"Also through spores? That doesn't seem right!"
In the leading police car, Qin Shan and Zheng Yuanqiao were also very surprised.
Is there really more surprise for Shen Ting?
And it’s coming so soon?
…
Soon, the convoy arrived at the old industrial area, close to the center.
The Qinghe Copper Smelting Plant is located here.
The factory had been abandoned for twenty years and was in the most dilapidated state.
The plaster on the surface of the white wall fell off in chunks, revealing the red bricks inside.
There are also stains left by rain on the white wall.
There are some mottled handwriting on it, which can still be recognized.
Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, reduce costs and increase efficiency!
Safety in production is more important than Mount Tai!
Life comes first, safety is paramount!
The world is big, safety is the most important!
