The discovery of the case was indeed too accidental. We have to admit that "Black Panther" is really strong.
It can be said that if there is no discovery elsewhere, this case may be discovered accidentally many years later, and the difficulty of investigating it at that time will be even higher than it is now.
In Bai Song's words, if the case was solved, Liu Zhe might get a third-class merit for nothing, because without him the case would have been impossible to discover so early.
According to some regulations in the capital, no matter what kind of greening tree it is, even holly, it must not be dug up casually. So discovering the case is a great achievement.
For Liu Zhe, it is difficult for his work itself to win merit and awards. If he could be awarded a third-class merit, even though it is only a third-class merit, it would be of great significance!
Of course, all this is based on the premise that this case can be solved!
…
The entire evening, several junior brothers and sisters were in a state of excitement.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Li Junfeng, who was on duty on Saturday and was taking a day off today, came back and wanted to participate in the case. When he heard that the case would not be solved today, he became a little anxious, fearing that the case would be quickly solved by others.
When Zhang Cheng heard Li Junfeng say this, he did some work for him. Simply put, he told Li Junfeng these things in Bai Song's tone.
Originally, these people were quite bored. After all, Bai Song didn't allow them to talk about this matter at the moment, so they didn't mention it in the group.
In fact, Bai Song just didn't let them post it everywhere on the Internet. It didn't matter to the classmates because this case would definitely be investigated by the police station. But these juniors were all very well-behaved, so they could only tell Li Junfeng, and they described it vividly!
Li Junfeng listened eagerly to the "legendary" experiences of several people and asked questions frequently, which gave the other people a strong sense of satisfaction.
About five years ago, Bai Song was in the same situation. Now he is used to it and knows that solving cases does not rely on brute force.
…
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Bai Song went to the office downstairs and found that most people were still in the room.
"Why don't you go upstairs and rest?" Bai Song asked, "Isn't it almost twelve o'clock when someone should go on patrol? What's the schedule for today? From what time do I have to watch?"
"No need," Du Shouyi said, "It's not the National Day holiday now, so we're not that busy anymore. We only need one patrol car. Tonight, it's the old man and Lao Luo. The one who's on duty at the front desk is Zhang Cheng. The order of the patrols is me, Lao Sha, Lao Xue, and Chief Inspector Ma."
"Is there no police situation outside?" Bai Song already felt the coolness outside when he just went downstairs. The wind from the corridor window was very cold, and he even closed the window.
"It's so cold, there aren't many police reports," Du Shouyi said. "I don't know if the heating will be turned on early this year."
"No," Sha Huiqiang said. Heating started on November 15 in Shanghai this year, and the temperature test was conducted on November 7. I heard that Tianhua started heating on November 1 this year.
"The government here is really stingy. It's already quite cold at night." Older people are more afraid of the cold, so Du Shouyi complained: "I feel like it's only 7 or 8 degrees Celsius outside now."
"Almost," Bai Song said, "Then I'll go upstairs to rest. My fellow apprentices are so excited that they're still arguing. I'll ask them to go to bed early as well."
"I understand. We are young people. We discussed this case for a long time before going to bed." Sha Huiqiang said with a smile: "I have not been working for a long time. I have never been to the criminal police team since I changed jobs. This is the first time I have encountered a case of dismemberment."
"This is also a coincidence. If it weren't for a retired police dog that happened to be well-trained, it wouldn't have been discovered." Xue Tieming was silent for a while. "The deceased was also miserable. It looks like he was chopped into dozens of pieces."
"Could this murderer have buried dozens of pieces of gold in dozens of places? Isn't he afraid of being discovered? After all, you can see that they are buried quite deep. Digging holes on the road will easily attract attention, right?" Ma Yibin asked, "What do you think, Inspector Bai?"
"From the body parts, the arm alone was cut into at least three sections. This is the right elbow, so there are two possibilities. One is that the murderer really cut the body into more than 20 pieces, and even cut the arm into three pieces. The other possibility is that the murderer had a grudge against the deceased and hated the deceased's right arm, so he did some extra work on the right arm. But no matter what the reason is, we have to understand that it is very difficult to chop it like this. When we went to buy pork, the butchers tried to cut down along the bone seam. The murderer did not cut it off from the connection between the upper and lower arms, but took this approach, which is very unreasonable in itself."
Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "It's possible that someone would find the buried things you mentioned, but it's not certain. For example, if the murderer wore a yellow warning suit with "Highway Maintenance" written on it, and drove a van nearby with a few road barrels on the side, no one would even look at it. You know, Shangjing is like this, and construction work basically takes place in the middle of the night."
"That's true. When I go out on patrol in the late night, I always see people repairing the road." Ma Yibin nodded. "Usually, they repair the road from 11pm to 4:30am. This way, it won't affect traffic."
"The murderer must be someone who is very confident in himself. I suspect he has a criminal record," Bai Song said. "It is very likely that there is a deep hatred, and it was planned at least a few days in advance. There are so many bodies, and she didn't bury them all nearby, so one night must be enough. Even if it is just the right side of the bones that are damaged, as I said later, there must be at least a dozen pieces."
"You can't think that way," Du Shouyi shook his head. "Maybe she just dealt with the bones like this, and a lot of the meat was dealt with in other ways? I don't think there is much meat on this bone, so it may not be all rotten."
"You mean he ate it?" Ma Yibin stood up immediately: "I have never handled such a case before."
"You are too disgusting," Master Luo said after a long pause, "I think this matter is not that troublesome. Maybe what Bai Chu said is right. The deceased probably hurt the murderer, so the murderer chopped off his right arm and buried it here on purpose. The others may have been buried somewhere else at the same time."
"That's a good idea," Bai Song's eyes lit up, "The place where it was buried is the elbow joint of a person's right arm. Generally speaking, the right elbow joint of a person is very hard and has amazing lethality. If the deceased often used his right elbow joint to beat or bully the murderer before his death, this burial may have special significance!"
"How can it have any special meaning..." Ma Yibin said: "I still think it's more reliable to chop it up and eat it. I chopped the bones into more than ten pieces."
"Impossible," Bai Song shook his head. "Although the flesh is rotten, we can still confirm at the scene that the deceased's skin is still there, it's just rotten."
"That means you didn't finish eating this piece." Ma Yibin said.
"Xiao Ma, shut up," Lao Luo said, "I was thinking if I get hungry during patrol tonight, I'll go buy some stewed meat. Who would have an appetite after hearing what you said?"
"Old Luo, are you afraid of this?" Ma Yibin didn't care. He had been a policeman since he started working and had been seconded to the criminal police team several times. He was not afraid of such things. "You have been a soldier on the border for so many years. There is nothing to be afraid of about a corpse."
"How can corpses not be scary?" Lao Luo suddenly became serious: "One of my comrades-in-arms got an infectious disease because he came into contact with a sick corpse. There was no cure... Never mind, I can't go into details about this. Corpses are scary anyway."
Bai Song suddenly felt that Lao Luo was a man with a story. Although Lao Luo talked a lot and was long-winded, he never said anything he shouldn't say.
As a police officer, sometimes it is okay to say some nonsense, but if you say something you shouldn't say, you will get into trouble. It doesn't matter in this situation, but if you talk too much to the public or reporters, you will get into trouble.
"Then I won't say anything more," Ma Yibin said to Du Shou, "Old Du, if we solve this case, shouldn't we get a second-class merit?"
"Second-class merit?" Du Shouyi thought for a moment. "As long as there is no progress within three days, a nationwide investigation will be sent. If you can crack it, you will be awarded a first-class merit. Of course, even if you are awarded a second-class merit, you can be promoted this year if you ask for a promotion now."
Ma Yibin is of the right age and has indeed reached the age for promotion, but he has never been interested in pursuing progress and has been content to just get by.
"I just read the cooperation letter sent to our station. It says that we are asked to verify the recent missing case of a man in his 40s. Our station doesn't have this case either. Do you think we can't handle this case?" Ma Yibin asked.
"We can do it. The whole branch has the authority to solve this case. Whoever can solve such a case will make the director very happy. Guess why? Because this case is not the responsibility of my branch." Du Shouyi changed the subject and said, "But the criminal police will not share all the information with you. We have to rely on ourselves. Basically, forget it. I don't want to call them every day to ask for things, as if we are begging them."
"Why do you say it's not our branch's responsibility?" Ma Yibin was a little puzzled.
"Where was the murder committed? Do you know? I don't know." Bai Song shook his head. "So it is still unknown where the murder took place. And the East City Branch took the lead in investigating the case due to Director Liu's discovery. If the murder is not committed in our district, then what else can we say than meritorious service? We should give the Director face."
"Really!" Ma Yibin also became interested. After being a policeman for so many years, his blood had run cold, but now it was boiling again!
"As for information sharing," Bai Song smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm here for you."
"Oh?" Ma Yibin's eyes lit up. "Yes, there is a blank spot! Then Team Lou should proactively report the progress to us every day, right?"
"If you want to do it, I support you." Du Shouyi pinched his temples. "Look at my age. If you think I can help, I will help you. It's just that you have to worry more... Well, you should try to follow Bai Chu."
Du Shouyi actually said this deliberately for Ma Yibin to hear. Bai Song has a good reputation, especially because he does not take credit for others' achievements.
In the murder case last year, everyone who followed Bai Song to investigate the case, including those little ones, benefited from it. It would be a lie for others to say they were not envious.
Although it may sound a bit utilitarian, is it shameful to pursue legitimate and honorable utilitarianism?
Du Shouyi didn't believe that Ma Yibin could solve this case. After working together for so many years, he knew Ma Yibin's level best. But Ma Yibin had worked in the police station for ten years after all, and his skills were very solid, which would definitely help Bai Song in handling the case.
"Yeah," Ma Yibin looked at Bai Song and said, "Director Bai, are you going to handle this case? Take me with you, and I will study hard too."
"Okay," Bai Song had no objection: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. There is no clue from the DNA yet, and the verification by various institutes will probably take until tomorrow morning. Let's go to bed first."
"Well, sleep..." Du Shouyi said halfway when his cell phone rang. After answering it, he looked around at everyone while listening, then hung up the phone and said to everyone, "I can't sleep anymore. Let's go. There is a duty post and we need four people."
"Then I'll leave first," Bai Song left immediately after hearing that it was a duty post.
The so-called duty post is when a big boss passes by the jurisdiction and goes to the roadside for duty. Generally, the round trip takes no more than half an hour. There will be no advance notice for this kind of thing, whoever is on duty will be the one to do it. This kind of work is very simple, Bai Song didn't say anything polite and went upstairs directly.
After going upstairs, several junior brothers and sisters were still communicating. When they heard someone coming upstairs, they quickly opened the door and called out Bai Song.
"Zhang Ning, why don't you go back to the girls' dormitory to sleep?" Bai Song looked at the watch. It was almost twelve o'clock.
"We are having a great chat!" Zhang Ning didn't care: "It's better to work. I can't go to the boys' dormitory at school."
"The girls in the police academy are really amazing." Bai Song nodded: "What did you discuss?"
"We thought of three plans. Oh, no, if we break it down, there are more than a dozen plans!" Wang Xiaohao said, "Brother, do you think it is possible that this person is not dead?"
"Oh?" Bai Song asked, "Do you have such a guess?"
"Yeah, maybe the gang chopped off his arm! And then they just chopped the arm into several pieces and buried them!" Wang Xiaohao said: "Brother, does what I said make sense?"
"It's impossible to prove it," Bai Song nodded. "Now that you put it that way, I know what the other options are. These are all useful for handling the case, but the most orthodox method at the moment is to exhaust all the clues on this piece of bone."
"Ah? Aren't they all rotten?" Zhang Ning asked.
"Professional matters should be handled by professionals," Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "I'll go there tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I'll have to ask Senior Brother Pan Chen to do this."
"Who is this?" Zhang Cheng felt as if he had heard of this person somewhere before.
"Our senior from Lu Province, from the First Research Institute of the Ministry." Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "I have communicated with him before, and this is something he is good at."
