"Are you used to the food here?" Captain Zhong looked at Bai Song and started chatting about family matters.
"Not bad." Bai Song looked around and said, "Where is our Guo detachment? I just got a call and came here."
"After the contact, they said you will be responsible for the details of the case," said Captain Zhong.
"Okay," Bai Song nodded, "I'll go out and make a phone call first."
Before Bai Song came, he thought that Team Guo was there too, but when he arrived he found out that Team Guo was not there.
In this case, regardless of whether Captain Zhong has contacted Captain Guo, he has to make a phone call and tell them. This is the rule.
After contacting them, Captain Guo said that Bai Song would handle the case.
…
After a few simple words, everyone sat down. Team Zhong had ten people sitting there, all holding their own notebooks. In addition, Team Zhong had dozens of piles of case files, some of which had a historical atmosphere. Judging from the case files, even if they were not as old as Bai Song, they were almost the same. Bai Song dealt with a lot of case files. He had read a lot of old case files in the archives room of the third team before, so he was quite sensitive to this.
"Captain Bai, our Wang Team has already assigned us a task. We will start investigating this case with all our strength this afternoon. We called you here mainly to set up a temporary task force so that we can communicate with each other, share intelligence, and support each other technically." Captain Zhong said sincerely.
Bai Song frowned a little. Captain Zhong gave him the impression that he was not a gentle man, but rather a very masculine person with a bad temper. After talking to him like this, Bai Song was confused at first.
Hmm? Why should I give my full support?
"Captain Zhong, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of our investigation team. However, will this situation delay your work?" Bai Song planned to say this in advance. This is better than being busy for several days and then having a fire break out in the backyard.
"Don't worry about your side. Captain Wang has mentioned you to me. I also know that you are a person who handles cases. I won't beat around the bush with you."
"Captain Wang?" Bai Song seemed to understand something. This must be the Captain Wang who went to Tianhua City to catch the murderer last time. Captain Wang did want to thank Bai Song last time, but this is not how personal feelings should be used. Bai Song was still a little confused.
Captain Zhong did not explain, but pointed to the files in front of him and showed them to Bai Song: "You came here last year to handle the case at the bottom of the Xiangjiang River. It has been more than half a year. Since then, the Changhe City Bureau has launched a one-year operation to uncover homicide and serious cases. So far, including the fugitive we arrested in Tianhua City last time, we have arrested suspects in two homicide cases and solved a robbery case 11 years ago. The case you are handling this time can also be regarded as part of the big operation to uncover the truth. Moreover, if the case over there is true, and such a situation exists but has not been discovered, I have reason to believe that among these unsolved homicide and serious cases, there may be cases that are linked to your case."
Bai Song roughly understood what it meant.
Why don’t we do more of this kind of big investigation?
In fact, not every case has a result, because the investigation of homicides will never stop. If the case can be solved by piling up manpower and material resources, it would have been solved long ago. According to the annual homicide rate of 7 per million (data released by the Ministry of Public Security around 2017), there are nearly 70 million people in the entire province of Xiangnan, which is a lot over the years. Even with a 99% case-solving rate, there will still be some old and backlog cases.
It is a consensus that the older and more backlogged cases are, the harder they are to solve, but this is not a reason to give up.
This year's operation consumed a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Including the one in Tianhua City, only two were broken. You can imagine how difficult it was.
Moreover, Captain Wang may attach some importance to Bai Song. The case was classified as an accidental fire locally. If Tianhua City finds out that it was intentional homicide, then where would the face of Xiangnan Province be, let alone Captain Wang?
This is a typical case of not daring to suffer losses again.
Thinking of this, Bai Song was quite happy. "Captain Zhong, I dare not say anything else, but our investigation team is definitely the best comrades of Changhe Public Security."
"Okay," Captain Zhong was quite happy to see Bai Song figure out the twists and turns so quickly. "These case files are quite old, so don't take them out of this room, and don't use a copier to copy them. If you need to print, just take a photo with a digital camera and then print it. Of course, I also suggest that we all look at it in this room. The detachment has approved this room for us. Later, the five of you will go to our clerk Xiao Zhao to have your fingerprints entered. Before the case is over, only the 15 of us here can enter this room."
"What should we do with our Guo detachment?" Bai Song couldn't help but ask.
"Just wait for the report, Captain Wang won't be here either." Captain Zhong said, "It's getting late. Starting tomorrow, more case files will be brought in. We can also arrange a deeper investigation of the old shareholders of the printing and dyeing company."
"Okay," Bai Song said, "Captain Zhong, I won't contact Captain Wang. You can take care of it for me later. I believe the final result will be good."
"Okay, let's rest first." Captain Zhong looked at the time and it was indeed getting late.
"We are in a long-term battle, and I don't advocate staying up all night to handle cases." Bai Song looked at his watch: "Well... half past ten, I'll look at the case files first."
…
Some cases are isolated cases, such as the fugitive we caught in Tianhua City last time. There is a specific relationship between the deceased and the murderer. However, there are also cases where no one knows who committed the crime. The family members of the deceased do not know if the deceased has any enemies. Such cases need special attention. In addition, some strange accidents also need more attention.
…
During the next three days, Captain Zhong was convinced.
Bai Song and his five men leave on time at 11:30 every night and come back on time at 8:30 every morning.
They all say that 996 is hard work, but Bai Song...
Starting from the third day, Captain Zhong refused to serve them. These guys were all in their 20s. They had no pressure at home when they were on business trips and had no problem sleeping seven hours a day. But he couldn't do that and just slipped away.
…
Not only Captain Zhong, but even the other police officers handling the case refused to serve him.
Who are these people? Why is the forensic doctor so stubborn?
…
However, in cases like this, forensic medicine is really important, because these are all homicides and serious crimes, and there are many photos and identifications that only experts can see the ins and outs. If it weren't for Sun Jie, Bai Song and others would have basically seen it in vain.
This situation lasted for four days. Bai Song and others finished reading all the case files in the conference room. The tables and charts of possible linked cases made by Wang Liang already had hundreds of pages.
In recent days, local investigations into other peripheral situations have also made great progress.
