"Big news!"
A deranged criminal kidnapped seven people, forcing investigator Shen Ting to play a game of 'hide-and-seek'!
At 1 p.m., a post with a video of the suspect from an external website went viral on the local forum.
It was forwarded over 10,000 times within ten minutes.
The comments section under the video was a chaotic mess.
Holy crap!
How dare this criminal be so audacious?
Is this exciting?
How dare they provoke the investigators?
"Holy crap, that's really daring!"
Not only did they dare to provoke the investigators, but they also kidnapped two of them.
"Are the armed police going to be deployed?"
"Such a daring criminal is a rare sight!"
"By the way, isn't Shen Ting, mentioned in the video, the police officer who caused a stir in the last disappearance case?"
"Have they gotten themselves into trouble again?"
As the saying goes, fame brings trouble.
Being too capable can easily attract trouble!
...
Soon, some news apps also started pushing news briefings.
The comment section was quickly flooded with thousands of messages.
"Are the police even competent? They haven't found anyone after all this time!"
"Holy crap, what kind of joke is that from upstairs?"
"The case only happened a few hours ago, how could it be found so quickly?"
"Hmph, but they can find bicycles for foreigners."
Now seven living people are missing, and they can't be found.
"Is the person upstairs brainless?"
Can a car thief and this kind of deranged criminal be the same thing?
Some influential figures have started to get involved.
The well-known lawyer "Luo Mou Talks Criminal Law," who has millions of followers, reposted the relevant video.
The accompanying text reads: "When the law encounters extreme provocation, where is the bottom line we uphold?"
This Weibo post quickly garnered tens of thousands of reposts.
Another influential figure in the relationship-related field analyzed:
"The suspect's purpose was not to kill, but to destroy his spirit."
He wanted to ruin Shen Ting's reputation in front of everyone.
How vicious!
Various messages, both true and false, began to spread in Moments and WeChat groups.
“My colleague’s second uncle is a policeman. He said that one of the two officers who were kidnapped had just gotten married, and the other had a baby who was only a month old…”
The message was followed by three clasped hands emojis.
Breaking news!
Because Shen Ting was unable to find the hiding place of the hostages for a long time, one hostage had already died.
Only 6 people survived!
Immediately afterward, someone retorted: "It's been debunked, that's fake news, stop spreading it!"
On Zhihu, a lengthy analysis was ranked the most upvoted under a related topic.
"Based on the criminal psychological profile, the suspect has a strong antisocial personality and also shows deep resentment towards Shen Ting personally."
"Their core objective is not money, but to destroy Shen Ting's public image as a criminal investigation genius through this public 'test,' and ruin his reputation."
"It's highly likely that it was someone known to the victim. And they have a strong competitive relationship with Team Leader Shen..."
The analysis shows that many people are replying to the post, and some are even forwarding it to the Beijing police.
People in small restaurants on the streets and alleys are scrolling through their phones.
There was much discussion.
"Have you heard? That pervert specifically asked Shen Ting to play hide-and-seek with him."
"Has Shen Ting offended someone?"
Is it true?
Is this another stupid advertisement for some idiotic movie?
Who would dare to provoke the police like this?
Some niche forums even saw the emergence of "guessing posts".
"I've placed my bet! I've placed my bet!"
Can Shen Ting rescue the hostages?
"I bet we can't save it; three days is too short."
"Yes, Beijing is so big, how are we supposed to find it?"
"Not necessarily. I've heard that Team Leader Shen is exceptionally capable."
Whether or not it can be found, I don't know.
But I know that if we can't find him, people will definitely cyberbully the police officer surnamed Shen.
"That's right, there are just too many idiots these days."
...
Changping District, Dajing!
A muddy path leading into the mountains and forests.
A location was cordoned off.
This is the location where a missing person disappeared.
He set traps for wild rabbits on the mountain and went up to check them in the early morning.
His family called the police after they couldn't contact him.
Shen Ting led the investigation team to examine the characteristics of the location where the disappearance occurred.
Then they found a high point nearby to observe the surrounding terrain.
After collecting the information, accurately circle this location on the map.
This is to prepare for subsequent crime geography mapping.
After returning to the police car.
The police car started moving.
Drive to the next place where they went missing.
Xu Xin handed a tablet to Shen Ting, frowning as she said, "This is a collection of online discussions gathered by the team members."
The public pressure you're under might be due to the suspect posting the video on foreign websites.
"This incident has already garnered the attention of over ten million people."
Those in positions of authority are also under a lot of pressure.
"The sooner we find the location where the missing person is hiding, the better."
Shen Ting nodded without saying anything.
He had a plan in place to locate the seven missing people.
The search for the missing and the search for the dumping grounds for bodies are essentially the same thing.
The crime geography mapping that Shen Ting possessed was equally useful.
certainly!
There are also differences between the two.
"Based on the game rules provided by the suspect, the seven missing persons must still be alive."
It appears that these seven missing persons are engaged in a game of mutual destruction.
This means that they are gathered together.
Tibet still needs a certain amount of space.
They can escape and hide.
"Otherwise, the game of killing each other can't be played."
“This place needs to be isolated from the world, otherwise, if the missing person shouts for help or makes a loud noise, it will be dangerous.”
