Eastern Sea City Police Station.
It had been three days since the Red Star cement factory incident.
Chief Wen of the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps presided over the case report meeting. Chief Wu could only take the lower position and sit beside him, his face full of fear.
This case was too serious and had already alerted the provincial government. Hence, Chief Wen personally took charge of the investigation.
The long conference table was filled with the heads and important personnel of the relevant departments.
President Wen glanced at the participants and asked,""Is everyone here?"
"Everyone's here!" Chief Wu replied.
"Comrades, many people died in this case, and the nature of this case is very bad. It has caused a very bad impact and seriously damaged the momentum of the reform and development of East Ocean City. The higher-ups are very concerned about this and have instructed me to personally supervise the investigation of this case.”
President Wen paused for a moment." We have to solve this case in the shortest time possible and give the public a satisfactory explanation. We have to eliminate the negative impact and return East Ocean City to a stable and harmonious economic development environment!
Alright, since this case was handled by the City Key Case Investigation Unit, then let's talk to the relevant personnel!”
The Key Case Investigation Unit's leader, Lu Yao, who was sitting in the middle, opened a folder and sorted out his thoughts. He said hoarsely,"This time, we have set up a special task force with the Key Case Investigation Unit as the core. We have transferred relevant personnel from the city and county levels and invested more than a thousand police officers. After three days of open and secret investigations, we have obtained some important clues.
Now, let me talk about them one by one.
First of all, the number of deaths had been verified. There were a total of 78 people, of which 62 had been identified, and 16 were still unknown.
Sixty-two people had been identified, all of whom were registered in the city. Most of them were unemployed, and some of them had criminal records. We concluded that these sixty-two people should belong to the same faction. In other words, they belong to the armed melee!
There were also 16 unidentified people. After a DNA test, the car they were in was parked in the same place as the other 62 people. According to the distribution, they should be in the same group as these 62 people!
There is also evidence to support this deduction. We have retrieved the surveillance cameras on the suburban roads. The video shows that the 28 cars parked at the scene met at the suburban immigration bus station and headed to the Red Star cement factory together.
The conclusion was that the seventy-eight people who died at the scene all belonged to one side of the armed melee! After their vehicles left the city, they did not drive back. In other words, their entire army might have been wiped out!”
As soon as this conclusion was made, the venue was buzzing.
President Wen's pockmarked face twitched violently." Team Leader Lu, I believe your conclusion, but what about the other side of the armed struggle? Who killed so many people? How many of them were there, where did they come from, and where did they go after that?”
"That's right, Team Leader Lu. Since the other party could kill so many people, they must have a lot of people. Even if they took away all the casualties on their side, didn't the surveillance cameras on the road capture such a large group of people?”Chief Wu also expressed his opinion.
"Everyone, please be quiet!" Lu Yao said," Perhaps we've been thinking too much since the beginning. We thought that since such a large-scale armed melee happened and so many people died, there would definitely be many people from both sides involved. Since we've already found out that the 78 people who died at the scene belonged to one side of the armed melee, then the other side had more people than them!
But the strange thing is that our surveillance cameras did not capture this group of people leaving or entering the city! That night, there were not many cars heading in the direction of the Red Star cement factory because the road was very remote. We've already checked and found no trace of the other party. Isn't that strange?”
The participants began to talk again.
"We have a bold deduction now. There's probably only one person fighting on the other side!" Lu Yao said.”
"What?" President Wen slammed the table." Alone? Killing all of them by himself?”
"This is impossible!" Chief Wu said firmly," If the other party had a gun or a heavy weapon, we might be able to accept it. However, a disassembled pistol was found at the scene, and the bullets inside have been found. None of the people who died at the scene were shot.
Killing 78 people with a cold weapon alone was simply appalling!”
"I don't believe it either!"
"I think this is the Arabian Nights Pond!"
"Is that even possible?"
Everyone at the meeting expressed that they did not accept this inference.
Lu Yao stood up and said,"I'll tell you another verified situation. I reckon you won't believe me even more." That was, the time of death of these 78 people was very close. After the forensic scientists 'precise measurement, they concluded that they all died within ten minutes!”
"What? They all died within ten minutes?”
"Then it's even more impossible for him to be killed by one person. Could he be a killing machine?”
"I'm sure the enemy has more people than them. It's a complete massacre!”
President Wen and Chief Wu looked at each other. The former gestured for everyone to be quiet and then asked,""Team Leader Lu, is there any other evidence to support your deduction?”
"Yes, CEO Wen." Lu Yao said," After the news was broadcast the next day, people kept calling the police station to tell us that their family or friends had gone missing. We also verified the identities of some of the deceased based on the clues they provided.
We got an important piece of information from it, which is that more than ten people who were involved in the armed melee mentioned to their friends before they set off that they were going to deal with someone tonight!
Another woman provided us with the most important clue. That night was her birthday, and her boyfriend was celebrating her birthday. In the end, he received a call from their manager asking him to do something. At first, he didn't know what it was. After a while, his girlfriend called him and asked him what he was doing and when he would be back.
Her boyfriend replied that they were at the Red Star cement factory. Many people had come, but so many people were only dealing with one person. Moreover, that person had already arrived. They would be done quickly and would be back soon.
However, an hour had passed and her boyfriend had not returned. His girlfriend called him, but no one picked up the phone.
We questioned this woman repeatedly, and her answer was always the same. We even used a lie detector, and she passed.
Her boyfriend was a security guard at Royal Wynn KTV and had a criminal record. There were six security guards and a manager involved in the fight that night.
Another important clue is that a driver told us that he drove a male passenger to the suburbs that night. His destination was the Red Star cement factory. However, he got off the car about a kilometer away from the cement factory and walked there.
Judging from the time, he should have rushed over after the group of people arrived. He was in his twenties, had a local accent, and had a crew cut. As for his facial features, the driver could not remember clearly.
This man was most likely the other party in the armed melee, and he was the only one! After killing the people, he did not need to return to the city that night.
Therefore, combining the above important clues, we have come to the conclusion that there is only one person on the other side!”
"Alright, Team Leader Lu!" President Wen said," Your conclusion is supported by evidence and it's very important. What's your next step in the investigation?”
" CEO Wen, our next step is to continue checking the identities of the other dozen people. In addition, we will focus our investigation on the manager of the Royal Wynn KTV. His name is Mao Dagui. That night, he was the one who summoned six security guards to the cement factory. We hope to find some clues from him.”
"Alright, hurry up and investigate. The relevant departments will cooperate with the crime squad. Team Leader Lu, please work hard and try to close the case as soon as possible!”
"Yes, CEO Wen!"
"Alright, everyone is dismissed!"
Everyone walked out one after another, leaving only Lu Yao and Long Feihu in the venue.
"Do you believe my conclusion?”Lu Yao asked.
"A person killed 78 people with a cold weapon in 10 minutes. Moreover, these people didn't just wait for death. Logically speaking, the possibility is very small. Especially if the suspect is only in his twenties, that's even more impossible.”Long Feihu smiled." I reminded you last time that the other group of people didn't drive here. It's very likely that they did it alone. Then, he must be a top-notch assassin!" The person in his twenties? It's really contradictory!"
"It's indeed a headache!" Lu Yao smiled bitterly.
