The communication with Director Li was not pleasant.
When Li learned about the situation here, he also felt that it was a bit tricky. Bai Song's visit this time was "inappropriate", in simple terms, he was childish, ignorant, and inconsiderate.
After going there, I finished my work early and came back. No one said much. After all, I saved a life, and I just came back to continue preparing for the inspection work.
But now the situation is unclear and there are no clues, so the point of going is almost zero, or even negative.
Bai Song did not promise anything, he just told Li Chu that he hoped Li Chu would believe him, and said nothing else.
…
The strong wind and the temperature dropped last night, but today's weather is pretty good, with clear skies and temperatures of -5 or -6 degrees Celsius. This good weather will last for half a day, and the haze will return in the afternoon.
Bai Song and others are now treated like protected animals. Wherever they go, there will be at least four local people accompanying them. It is indeed much more convenient.
The local city leaders asked people to ask the higher authorities yesterday and today why such a thing could attract people from the highest level to supervise such a case...
But there is no response to this kind of thing.
In general, there is nothing wrong with supervising you. This case has not yet found any results. Is it a difficult and serious case?
Does your county dare to say no?
Isn't that why you can't break it?
Do you dare to say no in your city?
…
So the next day, this case had to be a difficult, complicated and serious case no matter what.
With two police dogs, Bai Song wandered around the coal mining area for a long time, and also went to the dilapidated coal mine. Because of the strong wind, the smell outside had long disappeared, but the dogs did not react at all in the coal mine. This meant that Tian Fang definitely did not come here.
The police dogs' sensitivity to smells has its limits, and they certainly cannot sense anything in the wilderness. Bai Song was still a little worried, so he took the police dog to the homes of the village chief, village party secretary and others, but he didn't smell any smell.
Not only that, all those who had a say in the coal mine in the past and who now have control over or vested interests in that area have gone there and are gone.
In the blink of an eye it was afternoon.
A simple meeting was held in the village branch, mainly to study the case.
This house can accommodate more than 20 people, and those sitting inside are basically leaders.
"There have been some problems in the village recently. Several households have left their shantytowns during this period," Director He found a clue, "but their identities are difficult to confirm. We can only know their general situation through their oral statements, and there is no other way to know."
"Could they have gone home for the New Year?" Bai Song said, "Although they are all poor, this is a possibility."
"We have also considered this situation, so the value of this clue..." Director He did not continue.
He really has no clue, otherwise why would he say this...
"Let me add something to what Director He said," said a young criminal police captain, "I personally think that there are indeed cases of missing people in the shantytowns."
"Captain Peng!" Director He called out in a low voice, looking displeased.
Obviously, this was not an internal discussion of their branch. With Bai Song and other superiors, they could not speak carelessly. This kind of thing was unfounded. If Bai Song asked to verify this and it turned out to be untrue, they would be in a passive position.
The man called "Captain Peng" lowered his head, but was still a little stubborn. He still had a certain trust in Bai Song.
"Director He, I've mentioned this several times before. We're here to solve the case. Feel free to talk about anything that will help the investigation. In terms of age, most of you are my seniors. We don't have any recordings or videos here, so just say whatever you want. Let me make it clear that I think it's necessary to continue expanding this case. It's not about expanding the search area. Our main target is this village." Bai Song said, "This case is probably not a simple missing person case."
"What insights does Team Bai have?" Director He asked promptly, his expression slightly brighter.
Bai Song shook his head slightly, indicating that there were too few clues. He thought for a while and said, "I'm going to go to the shantytown to take a look. Would the comrade who just spoke accompany us?"
Captain Peng was delighted, but then calmed down and looked at Director He.
Director He nodded.
…
After the meeting, Bai Song took Captain Peng and others to the temporary house.
The coal mine has been abandoned for a long time, which also means that this shantytown has been around for a long time. Although there have been changes in the population, in this village, the flow of people is not that great.
"Captain Bai, I've heard of you." Captain Peng, who was not a shrewd man, said to Bai Song, "I didn't get selected for the Red vs. Blue competition last year, but I was watching the whole thing. Not only did you win first place there, you also handled many big cases."
"I'm lucky." Bai Song nodded: "Tell me about the situation over there."
"Well, I heard from several nearby villagers that one of the neighbors has an old man and a middle-aged woman at home. The old man is not in good health, but he is a good person. He is said to be a Buddhist. The woman is a laborer in the town next door. I don't know what she does, but I am sure that her income is very low. She rides a bicycle to and from get off work every day, which is very hard. A few days ago, the two of them left together, without a sound or saying anything." Captain Peng said: "This is nothing worth considering, but I went to the woman who left and saw that she had some empty bottles at home."
"Empty bottle?" Bai Song was a little confused.
"Yes, empty bottles." Captain Peng confirmed: "Very ordinary empty plastic bottles. Captain Bai, I don't know what family you are from, but here, many people are really poor, especially in places like this. Empty bottles are also money. If they really want to leave here, they will not keep the empty bottles and not sell them. It's not something to rush."
"Then what I said before, is it possible to go home for the New Year or something like that and come back?" Bai Song asked back.
"The neighbors said that this family has lived here for more than two years and has never left. I was thinking about whether I should send someone to the town to check where this woman works, but I don't know what this woman looks like, so I don't know how to check," said Captain Peng.
"That's not difficult." Bai Song glanced at Huadong, who nodded. Bai Song then continued, "I'll draw a portrait of the woman for you in half an hour. You can take people to the town to search for her. If this woman shouldn't have left and disappeared strangely, then we've made great progress in finding clues to this case."
Finding clues does not necessarily mean finding clues about the suspect. Finding clues about the victim is also a way. Collecting them together is always effective.
"That's great." Captain Peng looked excited.
As a police officer, who doesn't want to handle a big case? Is a case that the department can assign someone to supervise a big case a big one?
