"Examine this room thoroughly, and do not overlook any subtle clues."
The body was properly preserved, and the forensic doctor took it back for further autopsy.
All weapons, explosives, recording devices, and other evidence were retrieved and stored strictly according to procedures.
Inside the mine!
Shen Ting quickly gave the order:
"Team Leader Zheng, you stay here to coordinate the on-site investigation and evidence collection."
"Sister Xu, come with me outside. We need to prepare a briefing."
The staff on site immediately got to work according to their assigned tasks.
When Shen Ting and Xu Xin stepped out of the mine and were once again exposed to the cool air and bright lights outside.
In the distance, the sky was already faintly tinged with a dusky yellow hue.
A busy day is finally coming to an end.
However, even bigger questions still need to be investigated.
The temporary command area has been initially restored to order.
The seven survivors have been quickly transported to the nearest hospital with the necessary facilities.
Bomb disposal expert Lu Guotao happened to be leading his team to the mine entrance when he met Shen Ting.
Lu Guotao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Shen Ting in surprise:
"Team Leader Shen, I heard that your final explosion was successful?"
They even disassembled the main charge?
That's amazing!
"I guess I was just lucky!"
Shen Ting nodded to Lu Guotao as a greeting.
Lu Guotao shook his head:
"Team Leader Shen, you're too modest."
The technique of blasting is not something that can be achieved by luck alone.
Especially in cases like this, involving bombs with complex structures.
Success depends on your experience and skills.
Team Leader Shen, time is of the essence, so we can't chat any longer.
"After I've dealt with the remaining bombs in the mine, I'll talk to you about the detonation in detail, what do you think?"
"No problem!"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu Guotao led his team into the mine to deal with the malfunctioning auxiliary bombs.
Shen Ting and the others then left the mine.
Mayor Liu Fanming and Vice Minister Song Jian'an were located.
The situation inside the mine was reported concisely and clearly:
"Mayor Liu, Minister Song."
We have just discovered signs of a bloody fight and weapons inside the mine.
This confirms that the design does indeed contain elements that induce cannibalism.
The seven people survived, likely thanks to Xiong Beibei's intervention.
Several related bombs were also found inside the mine, but they were rendered ineffective because the master bomb had been defused.
In addition, a male body was also found, and its identity has been preliminarily confirmed as Geng Shuang, who recently went missing.
Of the seven people rescued earlier, six were previously identified as missing.
The other person has a special identity.
It is Ge Zhenxian, who disappeared in the previous case of the disappearance on a snowy night in Dajing.
Unexpectedly, he was implicated in this case again.
In this case, the murderer's plan was meticulous, his thinking was clear, and his methods were ruthless.
My personal assessment is that this is most likely not the first time the perpetrator has committed a crime.
It is recommended to look for similar cases.
The scope should not be limited to the domestic market.
This case is related to voyeurs, who were previously very active internationally.
We could look abroad to see if there are any similar cases.
Liu and Song both looked solemn, their expressions changing rapidly.
We are relieved that most of the missing persons survived and that the bomb crisis was finally averted.
They also felt immense pressure due to the sudden murder and the identity of the killer.
"No problem, we'll do as you say, Team Leader Shen."
I will immediately arrange for people to look for similar cases.
Minister Song quickly replied.
"Team Leader Shen, we owe you a lot this time."
Thanks for your hard work! "
Liu Fanming stepped forward, looked into Shen Ting's eyes—though they couldn't hide his exhaustion—but were still bright, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Why don't you go back and rest for a bit?"
We'll need your expertise to oversee the follow-up investigation!
"good!"
Shen Ting did not refuse.
He's been working for so long, he must be quite tired.
They got into a police car with the task force officers and returned to the police station.
at the same time!
With the approval of higher authorities, a brief case announcement was quickly released through official channels and some influential media accounts.
The announcement mainly focused on the bomb disposal work in the mine:
"After emergency response, the threat of explosives in the abandoned mining area of Mentougou District has been successfully eliminated, and no explosion has occurred."
The seven people who were previously trapped have been safely rescued and sent to the hospital for treatment. Their vital signs are currently stable.
Clues to a criminal case were discovered at the scene, and the police have launched an investigation.
Thank you for your attention. Please do not spread unverified information.
"Kyoto Investigation Department!"
The announcement did not mention Shen Ting's name, nor did it describe the specific bomb disposal process.
It made no mention of the bloodshed deep within the mine or the upside-down corpse.
but!
"The threat of explosives has been successfully eliminated," "No explosion occurred," and "The seven trapped individuals have been safely rescued."
These key pieces of information are sufficient.
The announcement was like pouring hot oil into a dying ember, instantly igniting the anger of all citizens who were concerned about the matter.
The online uproar was a hundred times more intense than during the most heated discussions of the previous bomb defusal livestream!
"Holy crap, the bomb was defused successfully?"
"Didn't someone say that the bombing failed and detonated the bomb?"
So, that's why you destroyed all the live streaming equipment?
"yes!
I saw some very confident analyses before, and I thought it was true too.
"Could this be a fake news story trying to scam people?"
"Exactly, this kind of thing has happened all the time!"
"Bullshit! You think you're worthy of the Beijing Investigation Bureau issuing a special announcement to fool you?"
