Although some areas of Jinma Furniture Mall were burned to ashes, the control room was well preserved.
On the one hand, the smoke sprinkler device plays a protective role, and on the other hand, the monitoring room is located at the edge of the building, far away from the fire point.
When Lao Ma led Gu Chen and others into the monitoring room, a middle-aged man was so frightened that his face turned blue.
Seeing everyone, he seemed to understand their purpose.
"Are you the property owner here?" Gu Chen asked him.
The middle-aged man said weakly: "I...I am just a part-time worker."
"Is there no one on duty at the Furniture Plaza last night?" Lu Weiwei also asked.
The middle-aged man nodded silently and said truthfully: "This old market has no one on duty these nights because it is under renovation and the monitoring system has been removed, so the monitoring room is just a decoration."
"Aren't there some surveillance cameras left? Can you find the records here?" Lu Weiwei had previously checked some of the camera devices and found signs of malicious damage.
Of course, there is a difference between destruction mentioned here and active demolition.
The former is directly damaged, while the latter can be reinstalled and used.
When asked by Lu Weiwei, the middle-aged man also took the initiative to explain: "The remaining surveillance here can be operated, but the fire last night caused a power outage in the mall. I'm not sure whether these surveillance materials are useful now."
"Senior Brother Gu." As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Yuan Shasha over there checked the monitoring equipment and reported to Gu Chen: "The monitoring equipment is all good and there is no sign of damage."
"It's just that it's currently out of power and cannot be used."
"It doesn't matter. Behind our fire command vehicle, there is a mini diesel generator that can provide power support."
Lao Ma suddenly remembered the device behind the car and quickly informed everyone.
Officer Wang slapped his face: "Great, let your people bring the diesel generator over quickly."
"Wait a moment." Lao Ma took out his mobile phone and started to make a call.
Not long after, two firefighters who stayed on the fire command vehicle instantly lifted a small diesel generator to the designated location.
After some careful operation, all the power supplies connected to the monitoring room were quickly started.
In the monitoring room, many screens were turned on.
Except for a few previously damaged screens, almost all other screens were in a black screen state.
This tells everyone that so far, all monitoring is unavailable.
But fortunately, the middle-aged man discovered that some of the surveillance footage taken previously was still preserved.
However, due to the limited surveillance materials and the aging problems of some equipment, Gu Chen decided to copy these video materials and bring them back to Furong Branch for further research.
You should know that it is obviously difficult to capture the scene simply by relying on the surveillance footage of Jinma Furniture Mall.
If it is a man-made fire, in addition to the internal and external surveillance footage of Jinma Furniture Plaza, auxiliary surveillance of some surrounding roads will also be required.
Only in this way can a powerful monitoring network be formed, which can play a good role in restoring the on-site situation.
With the copied materials in hand, everyone took photos of the scene environment again to collect evidence, and then hurriedly returned to Furong Branch.
…
…
At this moment, the dispatch room of Furong Branch.
After He Junchao obtained the copied information, he also began to investigate immediately.
Retrieve some of the surveillance footage from Jinma Furniture Plaza last night.
Combined with the surveillance network of the surrounding roads, He Junchao directly screened out nearly two hundred hours of video material.
Seeing so many long surveillance materials, He Junchao complained a little: "These materials are too scattered and take a long time."
"I will put all these video materials on the big screen now. Each of you is responsible for watching part of it and helping to screen it together."
"No problem." Lu Weiwei readily agreed and urged, "Put in the video material now."
"Crackling..."
He Junchao used his fingers dexterously to knock out beautiful music on the keyboard.
Not long after, dozens of video material sections, large and small, appeared on the screen.
Everyone quickly started investigating.
Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and He Junchao are in charge of the left and middle areas, while the three police officers on duty in the monitoring room are in charge of the right area.
Gu Chen stood behind everyone, folding his arms and staring at the screen, ready to take charge of the overall situation.
The time numbers in the video screen kept moving, and Gu Chen's eyes kept scanning.
Various surveillance images flashed quickly in Gu Chen's mind.
For a long time, two hundred hours of video material have been viewed by everyone.
Gu Chen directly reminded: "Who is responsible for screen No. 23?"
"Me!" said a tall and thin trainee police officer.
"Didn't you see someone appear on the screen just now?" Gu Chen said.
"Is there... is there?" The trainee police officer looked dumbfounded and quickly turned on screen No. 23 and turned on the rewatch mode again.
Gu Chen reminded: "The time was 3:25:43 in the morning, and a black figure appeared. It was a wide-angle lens."
The tall and thin trainee policeman did not dare to neglect and quickly started to operate.
Because just now one person has to be responsible for watching multiple screens.
And in order to win with speed, the scenes in the picture are also constantly accelerating.
In addition, the time is at night, and all the images are pitch black, giving people a visual difficulty.
However, when the trainee police officer rewound the surveillance footage to the time range mentioned by Gu Chen, at 3:25:43 in the morning, a dark figure appeared in the video.
"Is there really someone?" Lu Weiwei exclaimed, squinted her eyes, and said, "That person seems to have damaged the meter box."
"He broke the meter box from the very beginning. It seems like this guy is an expert." When Officer Wang saw this, he had reason to believe that the other party was a habitual criminal.
At the very least, it is very clear that if you want to enter Jinma Furniture Plaza, you first need to turn off the power to the surveillance system.
It's obvious that this man has a thoughtful mind.
Gu Chen nodded silently and said, "The location of the meter box is probably the route the criminal suspect took to enter the mall."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "And the peripheral power supplies were all unplugged by this suspect."
"Gu Chen." Officer Wang was confused: "Since the peripheral power supply has been disconnected and the internal monitoring system has been removed, how can we find this person?"
"Surveillance picture on the 25th, 3:32 in the morning." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang didn't react and was stunned for a few seconds. Then he quickly said: "What, He Junchao, hurry up."
"Understood." He Junchao operated for a while, and the surveillance screen on the 25th quickly reached 3:32 in the morning.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in a wide-angle surveillance screen.
Lu Weiwei pointed at the screen and said in surprise: "This is the internal picture of Jinma Furniture Plaza. How is this possible? Haven't all the surveillance systems been dismantled? The remaining surveillance cameras have also been destroyed.
ah."
"Yes, but I found that the power of this camera has not been cut off. Maybe it is connected to another line." Gu Chen put his hands behind his back, took two steps closer, and said:
"And it happened to be this camera. I thought at the time that the suspect couldn't be photographed at this angle, but after looking at it just now, I discovered that it was a wide-angle camera and it just happened to capture the suspect."
"And you see, from the front position, the other party cut the door chain lock, and then entered the scene from the other end."
"Haha." When seeing this scene, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This criminal suspect has done all his tricks, but what this guy didn't expect at all was that the camera in the parking lot used another power supply.
line."
"And this camera also captured the entire process of this guy entering the mall." Officer Wang also laughed.
At the very least, after reviewing two hundred hours of surveillance material, everyone found an important clue.
"Then what is he doing now?" Yuan Shasha squinted and asked.
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and walked two steps further: "Because this external door uses a chain lock, and the clerk locked it with a chain lock after getting off work."
"And this guy is probably using scissors to cut the chain locks."
After taking a closer look, Lu Weiwei confirmed: "Yes, I used a pipe cutter to cut the chain lock, but..."
Because the environment was dim and the picture was very unclear, Lu Weiwei was excited but also a little confused: "But I can't see the physical characteristics of this guy clearly."
"Damn it." Officer Wang smashed his right fist on his left palm and said with a frustrated look: "This surveillance picture was captured with great difficulty, but the picture is dim and I can't see clearly the person coming."
"What we see now is the front." Gu Chen was not as impatient as everyone else, but remained calm enough and continued: "And he is still wearing a mask."
"Is this a woman? With such long curly hair?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but said as she looked at the other person's appearance and features.
But Gu Chen shook his head and reminded: "This...maybe it's a wig. It's worn in the wrong position. Is it worn too far?"
"Wait, let me take a look first." After being reminded by Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei walked a few steps further and reminded the tall and thin trainee police officer: "What, put this picture on the home screen and enlarge it a little."
"Okay." The tall and thin trainee police officer obeyed and quickly put the surveillance footage on the home screen.
At this moment, the picture becomes blurry.
But fortunately, the overall picture allows everyone to see the situation more intuitively.
"It seems like he is wearing a wig, or a long wig. Normal people don't have such a low hairline. This guy may have worn it too low."
"Then you can't tell whether this guy is a boy or a girl?" The tall and thin trainee police officer said, feeling a little guilty.
But the tool man He Junchao smiled and said: "Of course you can't tell, after all, he is disguised."
"But I can tell you that this guy wearing a wig is real, and with his figure, I dare say that he is not a woman, maybe he is a man pretending to be a man."
"Yes, after all, wearing such loose sportswear, you can't tell that you are pregnant." Lu Weiwei agreed with He Junchao's words.
But He Junchao is an expert in surveillance technology.
All professional judgments are definitely better than your own.
He Junchao is definitely wearing a wig, which is almost the same.
But now everyone is very aware of this situation.
If the suspect is a woman, maybe one with short hair.
But at present, everyone believes that the suspect is more likely to be a man.
Seeing that everyone was still anxious about whether the other party was a boy or a girl, Gu Chen quickly reminded: "Everyone, please stop arguing and continue to watch the surveillance."
After the words fell, the quarrel suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their attention to the monitoring screen again.
At this moment, from the footage recorded by the store's camera, everyone could clearly see that the suspect found some flammable items after entering the store.
The suspect then lit it on fire with a lighter.
In this way, Gu Chen could see through the surveillance screen that the suspect stayed in the mall for about 20 minutes.
During this period, the suspects set fires in 9 locations in 5 stores.
These are the results that Gu Chen obtained through Lao Ma from the fire brigade.
"Come out." When he saw the other party leaving Jinma Furniture Plaza, He Junchao quickly reminded: "This is the guy who cut the chain lock with pliers and then entered the mall to deliberately set fire."
"You can also see in the picture that this guy took the initiative to find some flammable items, then skillfully lit the fire source and started to light the flammable items in the store together."
"Senior Brother He, switch to the next screen." Gu Chen reminded.
He Junchao nodded silently and said, "I understand. After he set the fire, he must have left from the electrical box. That scene can be captured by a roadside surveillance camera outside."
While talking, He Junchao operated the computer and quickly pulled out the surveillance screen Gu Chen wanted and put it back on the main screen.
At this moment, the criminal suspect in the picture really escaped from the meter box.
Since it is a surveillance camera far away from the roadside, the people in the picture that can be captured are also very small.
Only a tiny frame in the upper left corner can be seen. After setting the fire, the suspect quickly took off his sports coat and wig."
"Look." Lu Weiwei pointed at the home screen and quickly reminded: "This guy... really took off his wig."
"Then he rolled the wig into his clothes and put it in his armpit. He should be...I found that from now on, he should be a man."
"Yes, after changing clothes, he packed his things and started walking. It seems that at this time, the sky was already a little bright." Yuan Shasha also added.
Gu Chen crossed his arms and walked back and forth twice while looking at the screen, then said: "The last place of disappearance was the alley over the Jinma Furniture Plaza. Brother He, can the surveillance screen capture it?"
"I'm sorry." He Junchao shook his head and said with a frustrated look: "The area over there is also within the peripheral surveillance range of Jinma Furniture Plaza."
"But you also know that the surveillance system of Jinma Furniture Plaza has been dismantled at this time, and all the images in the alleys here are completely invisible."
"What should we do?" Seeing everyone's anxious faces, another strong trainee policeman also asked anxiously.
Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, there is definitely no way to chase this guy from this alley."
"After all, he also knows that all the surveillance cameras in this alley are currently being demolished."
"The only thing to do now is to continue to watch the next surveillance." Turning his head and glancing at He Junchao, Gu Chen reminded again: "Senior Brother He, speed up the progress of this surveillance screen."
"No problem." He Junchao nodded slightly and obeyed.
The live footage sped up the progress again.
Not long after, some residents wearing pajamas came nearby.
Not long after, the first fire truck arrived.
Soon, the firefighters began a firefighting plan after studying the fire at the scene.
At the same time, more firefighting vehicles arrived one after another.
For a time, various water jets were sprayed towards the ignition point of Jinma Furniture Plaza.
Many residents began to watch.
Not long after, the police officers on night duty nearby also arrived one after another.
Then, under the leadership of fire brigade commander Lao Ma, the police on duty began to evacuate the crowd.
Although the scene was chaotic, everyone remained calm enough.
With the close cooperation of the police and firefighters, everyone focused on the residential buildings above the Jinma Furniture Plaza, almost door-to-door reminders.
Many sleeping residents even ran out shirtless and wearing shorts and shorts.
For older people, the police and firefighters will be responsible for carrying them out.
In a short period of time, hundreds of people were evacuated in an emergency, and the fire brigade's fire-fighting work was also carried out in an orderly manner.
After almost 2 hours, everything returned to calm.
Throughout the scene, thick smoke filled the air and crowds gathered around. Fortunately, the police officers on duty and the fire brigade commanders controlled the scene well, and there were no accidents at the scene.
The ambulance was just on standby.
"Phew!" Seeing the thrilling scene last night, Lu Weiwei also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, the fire is under control. Otherwise, the fire would spread and burn to the residential building above. The consequences would be unimaginable."
"This is too scary." Yuan Shasha was also very nervous and couldn't help but said: "In one night, such a small number of people were able to evacuate so many people and put out the fire. These firefighters and policemen on duty are really amazing
Well done.”
"It's harmful." Officer Wang patted his chest and said with fear for a while: "I didn't expect such a serious arson accident to happen last night."
"In my opinion, this criminal suspect is worse than a pig or a dog. Is he making fun of hundreds of lives?"
"What does this guy want to do?" The third-level superintendent on duty in the dispatch room also said angrily: "Is this to take revenge on society?"
"One person, one night, armed with tool pliers, broke open the door of a furniture mall, and then set fire directly in the mall, at nine locations."
"This guy is absolutely crazy. He wants to burn down the entire Jinma Furniture Plaza."
After a pause, the third-level superintendent said in disbelief: "But if he wants to burn down Jinma Furniture Plaza, what does it have to do with the hundreds of people living there? If he hadn't discovered it in time, he would have been killing people wantonly."
