Several cars went down the mountain again, and it was bumpy again.
When we arrived at Zifeng Town, it was still the same as yesterday, except that there were a lot fewer people queuing up, and Xu Taining's white shirt was a little dirtier.
"I didn't change my clothes last night." Even Wang Zhong could use his little brain to deduce Xu Taining's state.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the people in line and asked Huang Qiangmin: "Shall we go over and talk?"
"Well, have you thought about it?" Huang Qiangmin said: "I heard that Xu Chu is quite strict in his work. Unlike me, I am more willing to listen to your opinions."
Li Li and Da Zhuang, who were in the same car, looked askance at Huang Qiangmin.
Huang Qiangmin's mouth showed a 22.2-degree smile, looking very proud.
Jiang Yuandao: "As long as he wants to solve the case, he should listen to me."
"oh?"
"Thousands of people participated in the search yesterday, and Xu Chu personally arranged it. If there are no suitable clues yet, he should also consider a new plan."
Huang Qiangmin put himself into the role of Xu Taining and couldn't help but nodded.
The most admirable thing about Xu Taining is that he organized high-intensity and high-density large-scale detection operations again and again.
But his most admirable place is also his most vulnerable place.
What a waste if such a high-intensity and high-density action ends in vain.
Of course, with Xu Taining's current qualifications, even one or two failures would probably be acceptable to his superiors.
But can Xu Taining accept it himself?
If we organize the actions of thousands of people and let so many people invest their time and energy, if there are no results in the end, any normal person will be depressed and self-doubt.
Today, it has been more than 72 hours since Liu Jinghui lost contact.
The three-day golden period has passed, and there is still no news about Liu Jinghui. The loss of contact has turned into a disappearance.
And the difficulty of finding it is increasing.
If Huang Qiangmin were placed in Xu Taining's position, as long as someone under his command came up with a reliable idea, he would most likely agree.
This is not only a matter of decentralization of responsibilities, but also a normal choice given sufficient resources.
Jiang Yuan needs people, vehicles, and resources, so just give them.
If the resources are not enough, Xu Taining can still get more.
Especially when Liu Jinghui is confirmed to be missing, there is no problem in doubling the manpower and resources. As long as they are used reasonably, the goal can be achieved.
Huang Qiangmin followed Jiang Yuan and walked over together.
Then, seeing Jiang Yuan not lining up, he went straight to Xu Taining.
Huang Qiangmin wanted to help him and tell Jiang Yuan about politics and personnel affairs, but he couldn't keep up with Jiang Yuan for a while.
By the time they caught up, the strange movements here had already attracted Xu Taining's attention.
Xu Taining saw the tall and big Jiang Yuan at a glance, gave a slight smile, waved Jiang Yuan over, and said: "Look at you running forward, have you found any clues?"
Everyone around him immediately focused on Jiang Yuan.
Now that everyone has heard the clues, they all have some inexplicable expectations.
Jiang Yuan shook his head decisively and said: "No, we searched the Sanqing Temple area yesterday and found nothing. The police dog also failed to find the starting point."
"Well." Xu Taining's face showed no expression.
Jiang Yuan continued: "Last night, I had some ideas, so I went to the main peak again, where Liu Chu had a car accident before, and where he parked his car before, and did some investigation."
"Anything found?"
"No." Jiang Yuan answered directly.
Someone next to me couldn't help it anymore and frowned: "If you don't find out, just tell me directly. Don't tell half of it and leave half of it."
Jiang Yuan smiled, ignored those around him, and continued to follow his own train of thought, saying: "I want to focus on this case, the car accident caused by damaged tires, and the previous case that Liu was investigating, and search for the body near the parking place.
.Not Liu Chu’s body.”
So far, no one has really mentioned the word corpse.
Although Jiang Yuan made it clear that it was not Liu Jinghui's body, everyone's emotions were obviously affected.
Xu Taining asked with increased anxiety, "Whose body do you want to search for?"
"I don't know. But I think if the body can be found nearby and the case can be solved, it will be very helpful in finding the whereabouts of Liu Chu."
Before Jiang Yuan finished speaking, several senior police officers around him couldn't help but shake their heads.
"How do you know there could be a body nearby?"
"What does it mean to solve the case? Do you want to find a body that has not been found yet and then solve the case?"
"If you can't find anyone, why don't you solve the backlog of murder cases first? Are you kidding me?"
Various verbal attacks followed one after another.
Huang Qiangmin looked at Jiang Yuan with an "I told you so" expression, inexplicably a little happy.
What everyone said was actually what he said before.
Those who work as criminal police officers know too much about criminal police. At the same time, those who work as criminal police officers also know too well the difficulty of a murder case and the backlog of murder cases.
Solving the backlog of murder cases really depends on fate.
If you have been in the criminal case circle for a long time, you will know that some cases are really difficult to detect.
This is still a very euphemistic way of saying it.
To put it a little less rigorously, some murder cases no longer meet the conditions for investigation after they become backlogged.
In grassroots bureaus, meritorious service can be achieved by solving the backlog of murder cases. It is certainly not because meritorious service is too cheap.
Xu Taining looked Jiang Yuan up and down and asked slowly: "Are you confident in solving this case?"
"I have some confidence." Jiang Yuan didn't say too confidently.
Even so, in such an occasion, this is a very confident performance.
Several police officers around him fell silent and allowed Xu Taining to make the decision.
Xu Taining said: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Yuan then repeated what he had said to Huang Qiangmin, and continued: "I think Liu Chu must have been close to the murderer, or in other words, close to the murderer's burial place, and maybe he has obtained certain clues.
Otherwise, the murderer would not take action."
"Well, if he doesn't take action, Lao Liu can't even be sure that there is really a murder here." Xu Taining's thoughts were also very straightforward.
He expressed his judgment without doubting this or that, which was also a sign of great confidence.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan looked much more relaxed and said: "Expand Liu Chu's search area and divide it into three areas. The area he searched in the early stage of the car accident, the area he was searching during the car accident, and the areas that may have been searched according to the original plan.
The area, I think, is most likely the area that was being searched at that time."
"That area has been plowed several times." Xu Taining was a little disappointed.
Not only Jiang Yuan saw such an obvious thing, but Liu Jinghui himself could definitely see it.
Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "There is no thorough search and there are obvious omissions."
"Oh? Bring me the map." Xu Taining had scanned the area before, but he didn't look carefully.
The map is at hand, and it is a high-scale map made by the Bureau of Mines, with quite detailed annotations.
"The most likely ones are the two wells here." Jiang Yuan pointed directly with his hand and said: "Actually, there are other places that have not been searched, such as mountains and forests. If the corpse is buried, there will always be places that cannot be found.
, or there might be a cave inside. But the most important thing is these two wells."
Seeing that Xu Taining was looking at the map and listening carefully, Jiang Yuan slid his hand on the map and said: "In addition to the mountains and forests, a few hundred meters away from the parking lot, there is also a ravine, which is also a good place to bury corpses at a low cost.
places. However, the priority of these places is relatively low."
Xu Taining nodded in approval: "Most of these places have been searched."
"Yes, after several rounds of searches, all the searched places and places that are easy to search should be eliminated. But the mine is an exception."
Jiang Yuan did not discuss the details of the search.
If you think that criminals have the professional ability to hide corpses, then the search requirements are too high.
If this is the case, then the search for the body itself is actually pointless. The case should be solved in another direction.
It is impossible for one person, a criminal, to cover everything and do everything professionally.
The loopholes the police are looking for are not offensive and defensive drills in a fair confrontation.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan, who had also conducted several searches, knew that as long as there were people available, organizing searches in these places would be a trivial matter.
Only the search in the mine is too difficult and so conspicuous, making it the most questionable object.
Xu Taining didn't know the specific details and said in disbelief: "Lao Liu let these two obvious wells go?"
No matter how strong a white shirt is, it has its limitations.
Jiang Yuan immediately said:
"As far as I know, Liu Chu sent people to search the mine at that time, but I don't think they could have searched very carefully. Maybe it might have stimulated the murderer."
"Both of these wells were left over from previous mining operations. They were filled in very early and then filled with water."
"We are faced with two problems here. First, the water is very deep, maybe tens of meters. At this depth, it is difficult for water ghosts to go down. Once down, they will not be able to search carefully."
Xu Taining looked at the person next to him and asked: "How deep is the water inside?"
A leader who was obviously from the Mining Bureau said: "I measured it once a few years ago and found that it is about 50 meters deep. It is true that the water ghost cannot go down. But this mine is indeed difficult to search. You can also find a more professional team.
try it……"
"We need to pump out the water, and then find someone to search. For ordinary water ghosts, it would be difficult to search 10 meters underwater. If the situation below is complicated, it will still be missed." Jiang Yuan has experience in searching corpses in reservoirs.
The requirements are very high.
The leader of the Mining Bureau laughed: "Pumping the water out of the mine is not an ordinary trouble, and the cost is very high, and the effect may not be good. It is better to find a better water ghost..."
"Liu Chu has asked a professional team to look at it before. The water is too deep and we can't draw any valid conclusions. I guess Liu Chu also encountered similar problems." Jiang Yuan interrupted the other party and said: "Liu Chu was
Our funds are limited, so we may not be able to afford it. This problem should not exist now.”
"Funds are never enough." Xu Taining said, his face darkening: "But it is indeed necessary. Find someone to pump water, and then go down and search."
The last sentence was said by Xu Taining to his subordinates.
The leader of the Mining Bureau was stunned and hurriedly said: "Such a deep mine can easily cost seven figures."
Xu Taining made a decision, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Also, I suggest that all the people involved in this incident, including police officers, local civil servants, and personnel from industrial and mining enterprises, be registered and kept in good records." When Jiang Yuan said this, he lowered his head slightly.
Xu Taining was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and said: "Don't worry about recording, I will start it when I come here."
Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining looked at each other and understood each other.
The police have launched such a big operation and invited help from the public. Will the murderer take advantage of the chaos and sneak in?
From the perspective of Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining, this possibility is very high.
It is a psychological state for criminals to return to the scene. The reason why it does not happen very frequently is that criminals still have fear.
However, if there is a relatively low-cost way to return to the scene, most criminals will consider and try it.
Just like many economic crime prisoners, they will actively understand the progress of the case.
Some criminal offenders will also try to inquire if there are low-cost channels.
Even spies, if possible, would like to know to what extent they are being investigated.
With such a large-scale investigation and search in the Zifeng Mountain area, the murderer would probably sneak in and help if possible.
In addition, the murderer may be the criminal who poked the tires. This guy's aggressiveness and initiative are above average.
Xu Taining also warned Jiang Yuan: "Pay attention to protect yourself."
Then, as if he noticed Huang Qiangmin, he said: "In the past few days, your team has sent two people to protect Jiang Yuan. The on-site protection work must also be done well."
…
After returning to the team, Huang Qiangmin was still cursing.
Looking at his flat mouth, Da Zhuang lowered his head in sobs, fearing that he would offend the trainer and be bullied.
Liu Wenkai had just learned about the situation and asked curiously: "Did Xu Chu reject Jiang Yuan's suggestion?"
"No." Huang Qiangmin snorted and said, "Just tell me something. Well, Wen Kai, pick two strong young men from your team and follow Jiang Yuan these two days and take protective measures."
"Okay." Liu Wenkai agreed. After Huang Qiangmin left, he leaned close to Jiang Yuan, gave two LSP smiles, and said: "Jiang Yuan, are the protective measures that Captain Huang mentioned the protective measures that I thought of?"
After thinking deeply, Jiang Yuan said: "To be honest, I'm a little confused about what kind of protective measures you are talking about."
"Anyway, take your time and don't use them up." Liu Wenkai laughed a few more times and went to order people.
Because they had taken on a new mission, the criminal police team members from Ningtai County felt relaxed. While other teams were leaving, they quickly went into the dormitory provided by the Mining Bureau and fell asleep.
It doesn't matter who is in the bunk, just get enough sleep first.
When it's night, who knows if there will be a chance to sleep.
In other words, Li Li was a policewoman and brought a dog with her, so she stayed in a real guest house.
A small room that was not worth even 100 yuan on weekdays was almost a luxury now. Even though Zhuang was big enough to get a cardboard box to sleep in, he seemed a little grateful.
Jiang Yuan didn't care so much, he still wanted to go to bed first.
Whether it is pumping water from the mine or sending water ghosts down, they all have to be specially dispatched from outside, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get them done in one day.
When Jiang Yuan woke up, it was only afternoon time. He felt a little hungry and called Li Li. Sure enough, he was preparing dog food for Da Zhuang.
"Wait for me to do it." Jiang Yuan said, walked a few steps and arrived at the guest house.
Li Li borrowed the guest house's kitchen and was busy working there.
Working with her were several other police dog handlers.
During this period of time, with such busyness, even those in white shirts may not be able to eat in time, but police dogs cannot wait. One meal a day cannot be missed.
Jiang Yuan said hello and stepped forward to start fucking.
There are only a few dozen police dogs in Shannan Province, and the handlers all know each other. When Jiang Yuan saw a new face, they were all observing him.
However, following Jiang Yuan's operation, several trainers were dumbfounded.
"Is it so detailed for a dog?" A trainer couldn't help it and asked in a low voice.
"It's mainly for nutritional balance." Jiang Yuan said casually: "Do it more carefully so that the amounts of various nutrients can be accurately balanced. Da Zhuang's physical exertion was quite large yesterday, and I took a little rest today, so I have to adjust."
"This... is too curly." The trainer who spoke was a little hard to accept.
He is kinder to the dog than to himself, but not to this extent.
What kind of family would treat the food cooked for the dog in the same way?
Jiang Yuan didn't care about so many things, but with just one operation of DuangDuangDuang, a bowl of dog rice with perfect color, flavor and taste was ready.
He and Li Li each had a portion of the extra food, plus some seasonings, and distributed it evenly.
The other trainers didn't know what to say, so they just stared blankly, and then went out to feed the dogs together.
"Squat down!"
"Good luck! Sit down."
"Heizi, come and eat."
Everyone called their dogs, and saw the police dogs running over excitedly, and then lined up in a horizontal line in front of the handlers.
Each dog held its own food bowl in its mouth and looked at the trainer eagerly.
The meritorious dog Heizi, holding two stacked stainless steel rice bowls, stood out from the crowd.
At this time, the handlers began to signal the police dogs to put down the basin and scoop the freshly prepared dog rice into it.
At this time, no matter the big or small dogs, they were trying their best to hold back the saliva and did not dare to move.
At the same time, each dog is still observing the other dog's food bowl, just like wage earners peeking at each other's pay slips.
One spoon, two spoons, three spoons...
Every dog's food bowl is filled with food.
Recently, when police dogs are doing their best, the quality and quantity of food have been greatly improved. This is also the welfare that police dogs value most.
In front of the meritorious dog Heizi are two pots of food.
Heizi raised his chin proudly, but the scent coming from his nose made him turn his head unconsciously.
In fact, all the police dogs' eyes were fixed on the rice bowl in front of Da Zhuang.
We are all dogs, and we all have dog noses. We can tell what delicious food is in the rice bowl just by looking at it.
Normally, everyone eats the same thing.
Except for dogs like Heizi who have achieved second-class merit, everyone spends an average of 45 yuan on food expenses, plus or minus no more than 10 yuan.
Two chicken breasts.
However, Da Zhuang's meal today was obviously over the top.
Woof!
The other Ranaway barked in dissatisfaction.
Everyone is fat and wrinkled, why do you eat so much?
