Team Su felt more comfortable than ever before.
After the two places started to connect, he had only one task - to accept clues.
The clues really kept coming into the conference room, and in just three hours, he felt that the case was about to be solved.
This was completely different from the frustration he had been feeling for so many days before.
I was so worried before, but I had nothing. I just wanted to find any clue. Now I am overwhelmed by happiness.
"Inspector Bai," Captain Su saw Bai Song and rubbed his hands, "Our captain is on the plane now. I have to pick him up later. I came over to tell you."
"Huh?" Bai Song didn't react: "Why are you telling me?"
"I want to express my admiration for you," Captain Su said. "I won't talk about other things. You are so young, but you have cultivated so many informants in Jiuhe District. I can't figure out how you did it. When we were in Province A, I thought that although you were good, you might have had some luck. Now I am convinced. Besides my old captain, you are the second person I am really impressed by."
"Captain Su..." Bai Song was actually most afraid of being praised to the sky, so he quickly stopped him and said, "I was really lucky. We can have more opportunities to cooperate with each other."
"No problem! Next time you come to Dashan Province, especially to Dayun City, be sure to tell me and I will make arrangements." After Captain Su finished speaking, he drove away. This should be the car they rented after arriving in Tianhua City.
…
"These are the clues we have now," Team Ma convened another impromptu case meeting.
There are a lot of clues at present, and the taxi driver has also arrived, but the driver is not very cooperative. It is obvious that the driver knows something, but keeps saying that he doesn't know.
Moreover, the driver’s car did not have GPS; it was his own car.
Some taxi drivers work for rental companies, while others are personal (with operating licenses registered with the companies). Generally, not all of the latter have GPS.
Starting this year, taxi drivers' jobs have taken a sharp turn for the worse and their income has shrunk significantly. The reason is the fierce battle between Didi and Uber and the crazy expansion of online ride-hailing services.
Taxi licenses in Tianhua City are not allowed to be traded, but they can still be sold if an agreement is signed. In 2013 and 2014, the highest price reached about 900,000 yuan. Now, it is only worth more than 300,000 yuan.
Bai Song met an old man when he was taking an online taxi a few days ago. In 2014, his son insisted on getting married. The old man had no spare money, so in order to help his son find a wife, he sold his taxi and bought a house for more than 900,000 yuan. Now the house price is 1.5 million yuan, and it is still rising. The old man is now driving an online taxi, and he feels very comfortable.
This kind of private car has no GPS, and the driver is vague, which is very troublesome. The driver admitted that he had picked up these people and admitted that he was hired for a few days, but he said he couldn't remember where he went specifically, nor what the people in the car talked about. No matter what I asked, he couldn't remember clearly.
These taxi drivers are indeed experienced and have dealt with the police quite a lot, but they just can't remember them all.
Of course, if the police are so easy to fool, then they should just give up. There are many things to support this. If the driver continues to do this, he can be arrested directly for harboring a criminal.
…
"Li Jie is still missing, alive or dead," said Captain Ma. "The existing evidence cannot prove Li Jie's death, nor can it prove that these people are suspected of intentional homicide, but Li Jie is indeed missing."
Through relevant technical means, all of Li Jie's phone messages and so on disappeared a few days ago. In modern society, how many people here can be free and not use any electronic devices for 72 hours?
"Captain Ma, do you mean to arrest Li Jie's wife Wang Xiuying first?" Bai Song asked directly.
"Will this cause too much of a stir?" Qin Wushuang said cautiously.
The case has only been open for a few hours, so we can continue investigating, including continuing to interrogate the driver. In addition, we also need to check many people's transfers and other things. There is no need to touch Wang Xiuying right now.
"Captain Bai," Captain Zhou from the Second Battalion said, "I agree with everything you said from beginning to end, but I still think it's better to be cautious. If Wang Xiuying really hired someone to kill someone, then she didn't pay the money. I guess she will have to wait until her husband is confirmed missing and the property becomes hers before she can pay the money. Maybe someone is watching her."
"It's not just that someone is watching. We have only scratched the surface of the case by questioning the migrant workers. However, they still have a few days before their detention ends, so we can guarantee that no news will leak out during these few days." Qin Wushuang added, "And once we touch Wang Xiuying, it will be like turning the table over."
"I understand your thoughts. I am not the only one who has the final say on this matter. What I am worried about now is that the longer the night goes, the more trouble there will be," said Captain Ma. "Let's not talk about anything else. The people from Dashan Province are not here now. Although we are cooperating with them, we can't rely on them for this case. Wang Xiuying's current situation is not too controllable. I am not afraid that she will run away, because she can't run away. I am just afraid that someone will pass a message to her or send a signal to her, and she will have a region to oppose us. Anyway, the later we act, the greater the danger."
The two sides discussed for about 20 minutes, but could not reach a consensus. Now Wang Xiuying was always mentioned, and no one could give a perfect answer.
"Okay, let's not waste time. Let's send someone on a business trip to Xinqing County to retrieve the video footage. The image content must be followed throughout the entire process." Captain Ma also knew that it would not be that easy to take action against Wang Xiuying, so he assigned tasks to everyone.
There is still a lot of basic work that can be done now, but Team Ma did not assign any of it to Bai Song.
This is only the case in the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Jiuhe Branch. If this arrangement were made in other branches, others would have objections, but now no one said anything, as if this was a matter of course.
After the arrangement, everyone quickly got to their respective jobs and continued to dig deeper into the clues.
Bai Song also started looking through the clues. He couldn't grasp every detail of so many clues yet, so he needed to look at more.
While looking at the case file, Zhao Xinqiao called.
Bai Song looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. He then remembered that he had not asked about Xin Qiao's return to Shangjing. He was really irresponsible...
Could it be that he was calling in an army to accuse me of something? Bai Song thought about it and felt that it was impossible, so he immediately picked up the phone.
"Are you still working on this case?" Xinqiao asked.
"Well, the current situation is not much better than the previous reasoning." Since the case was connected with Dashan Province and it was found that there was nothing weird, the requirement for confidentiality of communications was cancelled.
“Oh oh oh,” Xin Qiao said, “Let me… tell you something.”
