Chapter 66 - Homecoming (1)(1/2)
The coastal weather finally began to cool down, and this time the cooling rate was very large, and people changed from short sleeves to long sleeves.
"Teacher Chen, you must participate in this autumn sports meeting!"
Chen Bai shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"No, the police force has something to do with me. We will definitely not be able to participate in this sports meeting."
Chen Bai was a little helpless. Just three days after the middle school case ended, Tan Shan's beating was escalated again. Although all nine people who beat people were caught, interrogating these people was quite difficult. Chen Bai was sure that these people must have something to hide from them. But these people were stubborn and didn't speak at all.
"Okay! It seems that our Teacher Chen is a busy person!"
After get off work, Chen Bai quickly rushed to the police station. When Chen Bai arrived, Bai Hongwei and others were sitting in the office with helpless expressions.
"What's wrong?"
"The people above took the people away, and the case is no longer ours."
Chen Bai took Bai Hongwei's water cup and drank it in one sip.
"That's all right. Since the superiors have taken over this matter, we don't have to work hard."
Just as Chen Bai was about to leave, Mu Bai grabbed his clothes.
"Chen Bo, I beg you to help me. The last two people were arrested in Binhai. They threatened that if I didn't let them go, they would make us regret it."
"Are you okay? Do you believe what a few criminals said?"
Chen Bai was a little puzzled, why was Mu Bai so nervous about the words of several crimes?
"Chen Bai, just a week ago, the second team took over a child disappearance case. A woman called the police and told her that she was taking her children to the park for a walk. The woman also talked to her with a boy of five or six years old. The woman didn't care and watched the two children play while chatting. Then the woman used the excuse of leaving something and asked the woman to help her see the child, but after the woman left, she found that her daughter, the woman and her child were gone."
Chen Bai frowned after hearing this. This is a typical scam. Usually they find women who carry children alone, because most people will relax their vigilance when they see people carrying children, but because of this, many human traffickers use this space to commit crimes.
"But, what does it have to do with those two people?"
Chen Bo still didn't understand what the kidnapping case had to do with the two people who were beating people in Tan Shan.
"Actually, the two people we caught in Binhai knew about this, but before we could ask about the incident, they were taken away by the people above."
Chen Bai rubbed his head and said helplessly.
"Okay! I don't understand this. I don't know how you communicate with the people above, but since you speak, I'll help you?"
Chen Bai saw that Bai Hongwei also wanted to help Mu Bai, so he could only nod helplessly and said.
"Okay, since I've come here, I must be helping with this case. Is there any surveillance in the park? Let's take a look first!"
When Mu Bai heard this, he stood up from the chair and said excitedly.
"I just said Chen Bo can definitely help me. Please wait for me to bring you all the information about the case now."
After Mu Bai left, Bai Hongwei looked at Chen Bai with some embarrassment.
"Thank you for your hard work. The last case was only a few days after it was over. This will make you hard work again."
"What are you saying? Since I have promised to help, I will not go back on my word."
Bai Hongwei nodded when he heard Chen Bai's words, but his expression was a little reluctant but stopped.
"Okay, you'll say everything else you want to say at once."
"Chen Bo, we actually received a report of a child missing yesterday, but this incident was really too bizarre. I never figured out what was going on, but you were in class yesterday, so I didn't tell you."
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, Dabinzi turned on the computer and showed Chen Bai a report record.
"We received a report yesterday afternoon. A couple said that their child was lost. But this loss was a bit strange, because before the child was lost, his wife took the child to play at home, and then his father drove downstairs to wait for the child to come down to take the child to cram school. It was this time when I went downstairs, the child disappeared."
Chen Bai was lighting a cigarette at this time, but when he heard Da Binzi's words, his hands stopped lighting the cigarette.
"Wait a minute? What did you say? It's just that when you go downstairs, the person is gone?"
Chen Bai was a little confused. How could the Kung Fu disappear when he went downstairs?
"Yes, we were also a little confused when we received the report, but after we watched the scene, we had to believe it. Their family lives on the sixth floor, and the child's father waited downstairs. In such a short time, the child disappeared."
Chen Bai frowned. Since this is an old-fashioned community, there is no surveillance in the corridor, so they don’t know where the child is going now.
"Disappeared in the corridor, have their neighbors checked?"
Chen Bai knew that if those children disappeared from the corridor, the most suspicious one would be the child's neighbor.
"We are investigating, but we have no evidence now so we can't knock on doors and search, but we have already found out what everyone is doing."
Just as Dabinzi was about to place information on the big screen, Mu Bai walked in with a stack of information and a laptop.
"Are you busy?"
"It's okay, Dabinzi, please make up the information first, and you can show me your case information!"
Mu Bai nodded and placed the information in his hand and laptop on the desk.
"Three days ago, we received a report. A woman called the police and said that her child was lost. We immediately went out, but it was too late when we arrived. I immediately mobilized all the police forces that could be mobilized to conduct a carpet-style search within a radius of one kilometer, but in the end nothing was found. Then the woman told me how the child was lost. As far as I know, this is a new type of scam, but now the problem is that people are wearing masks. Even if I retrieved the surveillance video, I can't see the woman's appearance. And according to the park's surveillance, the little boy walked into the blind spot of the park's surveillance with the little girl he played with, and we don't know what happened afterwards."
Chen Bai looked at the surveillance monitor carefully. I have to say that this trafficker is very smart. She knew that a woman's eyes would not leave the child easily, so the trafficker first chatted with the victim, and when the victim saw that his child was having fun with the children, he relaxed his vigilance, and then his child was taken away step by step.
"Wang Xin, can you draw it?"
Chen Bai looked at Wang Xin beside him, but Wang Xin shook his head.
"It's useless, Chen Bo, don't you think this woman looks a bit strange?"
"strangeness?"
Chen Bai looked at the woman carefully, but he really didn't see anything.
"Chen Bo, this woman appeared in front of everyone after disguising herself."
After Wang Xin said this, everyone was stunned. Because they had only heard the word disguise in the novel. Can anyone really change his face completely without surgery?
"In fact, this is a misunderstanding of your thinking. Plastic surgery hospitals can change the appearance of a person through silicone, and can change the body shape through filling or liposuction. Among the things that people can easily obtain, the easiest thing to get is pig's trotters. Pig's trotters can obtain glue through long-term boiling, and using this glue, you can easily make masks like human faces."
"So what you mean is that even if you draw the person according to the surveillance screen, it's useless, right?"
Wang Xin nodded, Chen Bai sat on the chair and lit a cigarette, thinking, and at this time Chen Bai also looked up at the big screen.
"Wait a minute, why does this place look so familiar?"
Chen Bai suddenly felt that the place where the couple who lost their children lived seemed familiar, but everyone was confused when they saw Chen Bai's reckless way of solving the case. Could it be that Chen Bai wanted to solve the two cases together?
"This is a big ban building located on Guangzhou Road. The reason why it is called a big ban building is because it was a long time ago. When this building was built, there was no concept of a community. The building was so bare that it stood here, so it was named Da ban Building."
Chen Bai smiled, took Dabinzi's laptop, opened the map of Binhai City and drew a circle in two places.
"Look at it, this is where these two cases were lost. How likely do you think there are two cases of missing children in a row within three days?"
Bai Hongwei reacted immediately and looked at Chen Bai and asked.
"Chen Bo, what do you mean is that the kidnapping children in the park and the children in the residential building are actually the same group of people?"
"Even if it's not a group of people, I should know each other. Kidnapping cases have occurred continuously for such a short distance and such a short time. Anyway, I don't think it's possible that such a coincidence will happen."
Bai Hongwei and Mu Bai looked at each other. Did Chen Bai plan to merge the two cases to investigate?
"Mu Bai, did you visit the people in the park then?"
"I visited. Although many people saw a young girl of eight or nine years old playing with a young boy of five or six years old, there were so many children in the park that people could not think about so much at that time."
Chen Bai nodded. The kidnapping case was divided into acquaintances and abductors who committed crimes. Chen Bai believed that this woman must have brought her children to this park at a fixed time every day or week. The traffickers must have set their sights on this woman early. This time they found the best opportunity to start, so they took action directly.
"But we ordered the blockade of various means of transportation for leaving the city when we did not find the child, and published the portrait of the child in various service areas and toll stations for inspection, and instructed grassroots police stations to pay close attention to women with eight or nine-year-old children."
"Oh? Why do you do this?"
Chen Bai was a little curious because if the general kidnapping case was handled, he should pay close attention to the victim now, because the kidnappers are likely to call at this time.
"Teacher Chen, in the past few days, there have been one or several children missing in Dagang, Xinhe, Development Zone, and Lingang areas. The youngest of the children is two or three years old, and the oldest is eight or nine years old. We exchanged opinions and believed that this is very likely to be done by a huge criminal organization, and they are very likely to commit crimes in the coastal area."
Chen Bai nodded, and I have to say that Mu Bai's judgment is reasonable. It is impossible to be a coincidence that so many kidnapping cases occurred in a city in a short period of time.
"And more importantly, these kidnappers did not ask for ransom after taking the child away, but just took the child away."
Chen Bai frowned. If this is the case, things would be a little troublesome. An organized crime would never be exposed so easily, and there are almost no clues to find out now.
"Let me think about it!"
Chen Bai leaned over, folded his hands and supported his arms on his knees. Everyone saw Chen Bai in deep thought and did not dare to disturb him.
"No, the case in the residential building is likely to have nothing to do with Mu Bai's case. There are only two families on the first floor of this old building. The family lives on the sixth floor of the top floor. The mother of the child watches the child go downstairs, so there should be no chance for the person opposite the door. The father of the child parks the car at the door of the building. This old residential building has no unit door. What is the situation on the first floor can be seen, so it is not the first floor that the man on the first floor does not take action. Neither the husband and wife hear the child shouting, so the murderer did not force the child away. The child knows the murderer, and it may have a good relationship with them. How do they use to let the child enter the house? After that, because the police did not have a search warrant, it was impossible to go into the house to search immediately. Is the child dead? Is there any unresolved hatred between them?"
Chen Bai shook his head. Although everyone was anxious, no one disturbed Chen Bai.
"The kidnapping case in the park is also weird. It is different from before. There are surveillance everywhere. Although they have indeed avoided surveillance, is their purpose really just to kidnap children? But why are they making such a big noise? For ordinary criminal organizations, kidnapping cases in a city are enough, because now, unlike before, there is no need to wait for 24 hours for minors to disappear. If the victim reports the case in time after they kidnap children, their chances of escape are very slim."
Chen Bai rubbed his head. There were too many uncertainties in these two cases, and it was definitely useless to think about it here.
"Let's go! Take me to the residential building where you lost your child first. These two cases are unstoppable. I will try to help you in the shortest time."
There was nothing to say along the way. After Chen Bai arrived at the residential building, Bai Hongwei took Chen Bai up directly.
"Comrade Police, is there any news about our children?"
The woman opened the door. Chen Bo saw that the woman had blood red eyes and her hair was covered with haggard expression. It was obvious that she had not had a good sleep for a long time.
"Not yet, but this is Chen Bai, an advisor to our criminal police team. You will tell our consultant about what happened that day. He has solved many major cases and will definitely help you."
