Inside the police car!
Shen Ting nodded and left a message: "I'll do my best!"
For him, this case also presented challenges in terms of using crime geography mapping.
One of them, Hannibal, said that the current status of the four missing persons is unknown, and the motive of the killer is also unclear.
The computational models used for geographic mapping are actually different depending on the different states of the missing persons.
There is a big difference between a series of disappearances and a series of murders.
The current high level of uncertainty will significantly impact the accuracy of geographic mapping.
Another problem, even more fatal.
The number of samples from this case that can be used for geographic profiling is too small.
Only four!
In the previous case of a missing girl, the sample size was a full thirteen.
For techniques like geographic profiling, which require drawing conclusions based on sample locations.
The more samples the better, as this will allow for a more accurate identification of the locations involved in the cases.
Inside the police car, Shen Ting observed that the group members' discussions were no longer anything new.
He silently concluded—
There are two most pressing tasks right now.
One, of course, is finding the four missing persons.
Secondly, of course, is to find the murderer.
The former approach has a very clear line of thought.
Shen Ting first conducted a geographical mapping of the area where the four people disappeared, outlining the high-probability areas.
Then, the three-person search team further narrowed down the search area within the high-probability zone, looking for suspicious locations.
As for finding the murderer, if that can be done, then the problem of finding the missing persons will naturally be solved as well.
However, Shen Ting felt that the current stage was quite difficult.
"There are a few potential directions we could try."
One is to find commonalities among the four missing persons to confirm the killer's motive.
One approach is to find common ground within the social relationships of the four individuals.
Finally, you can check the surveillance footage of the four victims' movements in recent times.
Let's see if we can find someone who matches.
Shen Ting shared the relevant information and uploaded it to the case-solving group for everyone to view.
Just then!
The police car arrived at the Huairou District Investigation Bureau.
Director Jiang Bingquan was already waiting at the door.
Seeing Shen Ting get out of the car, he immediately greeted him with a smile:
"Team Leader Shen, I've heard so much about you!"
I'm relieved that you can take on this case.
"No, no..."
After shaking hands with Jiang Bingquan, Shen Ting immediately spotted an old acquaintance behind Director Jiang.
Qian Duoduo, the criminal investigation team leader of the Miyun District Investigation Bureau.
Shen Ting and he had worked together on the Miyun District bombing case.
Of course, what impressed Shen Ting the most was his name.
"Team Leader Shen, it's been a long time!"
You've solved so many major cases lately!
Our bureau is constantly studying the cases you've solved.
"I remember the case in Baole City especially vividly."
Shen Ting also shook hands with Qian Duoduo and smiled:
"Captain Qian, it's been a long time. You flatter me."
I was just a little lucky.
"Hey, that's not very interesting."
Everyone who has worked with you knows your capabilities.
Let me tell you, excessive humility is just arrogance!
Qian Duoduo made a joke, pointing to the two people beside her:
"This is Zhao Shenghong, the criminal investigation team leader of Yanqing District."
This is Mi Jialai, the criminal investigation team leader of Changping District.
There are also missing persons in all three of our districts.
They were all brought in to assist in the investigation.
Zhao Shenghong said warmly, "Team Leader Shen, I've long admired your name."
With you in charge of this case, we feel much more at ease.
Mi Jialai, who was standing next to him, also laughed and said:
"Team Leader Shen, I heard you're not very old, but I didn't expect you to be so young!"
She looks about the same age as my daughter who is in college.
At the same age, you've already become the head of a special task force.
My child is still like a child, eating and sleeping all day long.
Just like a pig!
Comparing yourself to others is infuriating!
...
After a brief exchange, the group went to the project conference room.
There isn't much to discuss regarding the current details of the case.
Investigate the scene of the disappearance, check social relationships, review past surveillance footage, and identify commonalities among the missing persons.
These are all standard investigative procedures; there's no need for Shen Ting to emphasize them.
"Team Leader Shen, our most urgent task right now is, of course, to find the four victims."
For example, in our Huairou District, there's the missing Ge Zhenxian.
Last night, his wife, who had just given birth, came to the bureau with their child, begging us to find the child's father as soon as possible.
Who could stand this?!
Since Ge Zhenxian has just disappeared, there is a high probability that he has survived.
"It would be wonderful if we could find him soon."
Jiang Bingquan said with some helplessness.
Qian Duoduo also said:
"Team Leader Shen, as everyone knows, you have a lot of experience in finding locations involved in cases."
Is there any way to first locate the four missing persons in this case?
"This case has its own set of difficulties."
However, I can give it a try.
Upon hearing Shen Ting's affirmative reply, everyone in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.
Many people also showed expressions of anticipation.
Everyone had heard of Shen Ting's nickname, "Corpse Search Captain".
But only a minority of people have actually witnessed it.
"Let's go to the scene where the four missing people disappeared and take a look!"
As Shen Ting spoke, Qian Duoduo immediately replied:
"no problem.
"Team Leader Shen, I'll drive."
Zhao Shenghong and Mi Jialai were immediately annoyed.
Qian Duoduo is really quick-witted!
Driving for Shen Ting would allow me to have more contact with him.
Putting aside whether I can learn anything, just getting to know Shen Ting and making a good connection would be great!
soon!
The police car started and drove towards Huairou District, the place where Ge Zhenxian disappeared.
We arrived at our destination in about fifteen minutes.
The area has been cordoned off.
Many police officers searched for clues within the cordon.
Outside the cordon, a small number of citizens were still watching.
Shen Ting briefly looked at the terrain of the location involved in the case and the surrounding environment.
After sharing the situation here with the case-solving group, I drove to the next location.
The cases in Miyun District, Yanqing District, and Changping District occurred earlier.
There was virtually no on-site investigation or search; only police officers were present to guard the area.
By the time all four sites had been inspected, it was already 3 p.m.
On the way back, a young police officer from the task force asked:
"Team leader, is there any hope of identifying the high-probability area this time?"
