The long conference table was covered with files, computers, and scattered markers.
The police officers looked tense and exhausted, and the bitter smell of coffee lingered in the air.
After a brief summary of the case and assignment of tasks, Shen Ting rubbed his throbbing temples.
An autopsy takes time.
The treatment and questioning of the seven unconscious and missing persons will also take time; the earliest we can attempt to question them is tomorrow.
After tense nerves for dozens of hours, in the absence of any breakthrough clues, the body finally protested.
Shen Ting felt an intense fatigue emanating from every cell in his body.
"Team Leader Shen, we've arranged a temporary dormitory for you here. Go lie down for a while."
Seeing this, an internal affairs officer from the Investigation Bureau whispered:
"In case of emergency, we will call you immediately."
You're now in charge of the case, so staying in top form is very important.
Shen Ting did not refuse.
In his current state, forcing himself to think is extremely inefficient.
It could even lead to a dead end, affecting the investigation.
The temporary dormitory was located on an annex floor of the same building; it was simply furnished but clean.
Shen Ting didn't even take off his outer clothes; he simply lay down on the bed fully clothed.
Almost the instant his head touched the pillow, darkness engulfed him like a tide.
Nothing more was said that night!
At six o'clock in the morning, Shen Ting was awakened precisely.
The fatigue was still there, but very slight, and Shen Ting felt that her condition had recovered well.
After a quick wash and breakfast, he returned to the command post on the third floor.
The people in the meeting room had mostly changed; most of the night shift staff had gone to rest, and the day shift staff were taking over.
The atmosphere remained tense, and the officers were noticeably busier than the previous night.
"Team Leader Shen, you're awake?" A young and joyful voice came from not far away.
Shen Ting turned his head and saw a familiar figure stand up from behind a pile of computers.
It's Liu Huiming!
He's a criminal profiler!
He previously collaborated with Shen Ting on the Leather Man case and is known for his meticulous logic.
The case was urgent, and since he had some free time, the investigation department put him in charge of the investigation of the bombs in the Dajing urban area.
Shen Ting glanced at his prematurely gray hair and noticed that it was much whiter than when she had seen him before.
It was a bit too bright under the fluorescent lights.
His face was oily from staying up all night.
But his eyes behind the lenses were very bright. He was clearly happy to see Shen Ting and habitually pushed up his glasses.
"Brother Liu, you've worked hard."
Shen Ting walked over.
He knew that Liu Huiming was under a lot of pressure because he had been assigned to oversee the investigation related to the bombing case in the city.
"Heh, what's so hard about it? It's nothing compared to what you did risking your life in the cave."
Liu Huiming waved his hand, leading Shen Ting to a computer and pulling up the data:
"Your end went smoothly."
On my end, there's been some progress, albeit somewhat strange.
"Have you found the person who planted the bomb?" Shen Ting asked curiously.
"Found it!"
Well, to be precise, we didn't find them; they never even ran away..."
Liu Huiming's expression was strange.
