Chapter 147 on how to cheat and solve crimes
Although Xu Bai didn't speak, he understood what Chen Shan wanted to express.
Counting the corpses just now, two days later, corpses with exactly the same method of death were found in succession.
Right now, it’s okay. The outside media are all focusing their attention on Tianming Military Industry.
Compared to the six deaths that can be said to be the background board, although the method of death is a bit weird, compared with Tianming Military Industry, the latter is still more reportable.
The media is the same as the banks.
Banks don’t lend money to the really poor, and neither does the media waste their ink on news that might not bring him any benefit.
but…
This is temporary.
Banks may relax their loan conditions on the premise that the loan task has not been completed.
The same goes for the media.
Once the report of Tianming Military Industry is accompanied by the report of the tax bureau, and the dust settles, or when they find that the public is getting impatient with the news they tell every day, they will turn around without stopping to find the next news.
so.
When the media noticed these few cases and knew that the police station could not find the direction of the investigation, it would be as if they had been given steroids, and they would rush forward screaming.
But Chen Shan's surveillance video gave a chance to close the case.
Although the probability of the spontaneous combustion of the human body is very low, it can be confirmed through the monitoring of the fourth deceased that no one approached the deceased before and after the spontaneous combustion occurred.
The deceased is dead, this is a fact, but it is not what outsiders say, it may sound unbelievable, or it may seem unbelievable, but hearing is deception, seeing is believing, he spontaneously ignited.
Same reason.
If the police station wants to close the case early, relying on this monitoring, it can prove that there is no connection between these corpses, and there is no arsonist murderer.
Su Meng also understood Chen Shan's suggestion.
Can…
With less than a year of graduation, Su Meng, who took part in this job with an ideal in mind, couldn't help but look at Xu Bai who was bowing his head in thought.
"Master."
"Um?"
Xu Bai came back to his senses, looked at Su Meng, just in time to see Su Meng's eyes.
That look is full of inexplicable.
how to say?
It's very complicated, but to put it simply, Su Meng is very nervous about the answer that will come out of his mouth later.
Xu Bai understood Su Meng's eyes, but he didn't say anything, but turned his gaze back on Chen Shan.
"Old Xu said that yesterday, other branches also received similar cases."
"right."
Chen Shan nodded: "There is such a thing, but last night, people from the Homeland Security Bureau came to the door and took away those corpses."
Xu Bai also planned to ask about the practices of other sub-bureaus, but when he heard Chen Shan's answer suddenly, he was a little dazed.
"Homeland Security?"
"Yes, last night, according to what they said, agents from the Department of Homeland Security came to the door, and after signing the signature, they handed over the corpse and the case in hand."
"..."
Xu Baiyu frowned slightly, and looked at Su Meng: "Yesterday you said you were waiting for your friend Xia Ziwei to eat in the bureau, when did you leave?"
Su Meng thought about it.
"It's almost eight o'clock for me."
"Did someone from Homeland Security come to our place?"
"No."
Su Meng shook her head: "Anyway, when Ziwei and I left in the end, the lights in the office area were all turned off."
Xu Bai heard this, and looked at Chen Shan again: "Are you sure, the Department of Homeland Security went to other branches and took away all the corpses in their hands?"
Chen Shan nodded, very determined.
"yes, I'm sure."
"Then why don't you come to our place?"
"Well…"
Hearing this sentence, Chen Shan hesitated for a moment, looked at Xu Bai, thought about it and said, "Maybe it's because you said last time that you would not give your case to the Department of Homeland Security, so the other party just gave up. gone?"
Xu Bai was speechless.
Next second.
Xu Bai directly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the address book, found one of the numbers, and then dialed it under the watchful eyes of Chen Shan and Su Meng.
Gu Hongyu, who was in the forensic office of the Department of Homeland Security, looked at the calling phone and the number displayed on it. He was slightly taken aback, and then looked at his colleague Zheng Sen who was standing aside.
"Xu Bai's phone number."
"Xu Bai?"
Zheng Sen, who folded his arms and clamped his nose with a wooden clip, looked at the phone interface in Gu Hongyu's hand, curious about the purpose of Xu Bai's call.
"Pick it up and listen."
"good."
Gu Hongyu nodded and connected to Xu Bai's call.
Xu Bai's voice came out five seconds after the connection.
"Agent Gu, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Detective Xu, call me, do you have any instructions?"
"Ha ha."
Xu Bai laughed haha: "I, give instructions, I don't dare, I'm just a local police detective, and Detective Gu is a federal agent with a federal charter, the kind that has no taboos, how dare I have any instructions."
Gu Hongxue laughed, but did not speak.
After Xu Bai finished speaking, he changed the topic directly: "However, there is indeed one thing that I want to ask Agent Gu for advice."
Gu Hongyu and his colleague Zheng Sen exchanged glances.
"I heard from brothers in other bureaus that yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security seemed to have received some corpses suspected of spontaneous human combustion. Let me guess, it can't be such a coincidence. It's Detective Gu and Detective Zheng Sen. member."
"…Yes."
"I got it right."
Gu Hongyu thought that Xu Bai came to the door to inquire about the crime, and said directly: "Detective Xu, we remember it very clearly. We haven't touched your branch office much."
Xu Bai laughed haha.
"I know, so, I have a proposal."
"...what proposal?"
"You have corpses suspected of spontaneous combustion, and our branch also has them. If this is a case, then, one case and two law enforcement agencies investigating it, wouldn't it be a waste of taxpayers' money?"
"..."
Hearing these words, Gu Hongyu was a little unsure of the purpose of Xu Bai's call.
Zheng Sen on the side guessed a bit, stood directly beside Gu Hongyu, and made a sound to test.
"Detective Xu wants to say that we can jointly investigate?"
"No, I want to give you the case."
"What?"
"What?"
Not only Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen were surprised when they heard this sentence, but even Su Meng, who was standing aside and watching Xu Bai on the phone, was obviously shocked when he heard this sentence.
Chen Shan, who was standing aside, didn't have too much surprise on his expression.
Xu Bai smiled, and made a hissing expression at Su Meng.
Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen on the other end of the phone looked at each other, recovering from the shock.
"Cough... Sorry, Detective Xu, I was shocked."
"Why, you two don't think that I'm the kind of pedantic person who clings to the case knowingly beyond my ability."
Obviously, that's who you are.
Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen looked at each other the same way again, and really wanted to say this to Xu Bai on the other end of the phone.
but…
"Detective Xu, are you serious?"
"certainly."
Xu Bai smiled, and said in a very affirmative tone: "The five corpses are in our forensic office. You can pick them up now. I'm here, waiting for you."
Gu Hongyu looked at Zheng Sen who nodded, and quickly responded: "Okay, let's go there right away."
Xu Bai said that I will see you later, and then hung up the phone.
Chen Shan looked at Xu Bai who hung up the phone, and gave Xu Bai a thumbs up: "Smart choice."
Finished speaking.
Chen Shan turned around and left. After all, the case was going to be transferred to the Department of Homeland Security, and he didn't bother to get involved. Moreover, his job was to find those sideline anchors and criticize them.
soon.
Chen Shan pushed the door out.
After waiting for Chen Shan to leave, Su Meng finally couldn't bear it any longer, looked at Xu Bai, and said with some puzzlement: "Master, didn't you say that you won't hand over the case to the Department of Homeland Security?"
Xu Bai put away his phone, looked at Su Meng who seemed to have a disappointed expression on his face, and smiled.
"Yeah, I said that."
"Then you just..."
Su Meng pointed to Xu Bai's pocket, just about to say something, looked at the expression on Xu Bai's face, seemed to think of something, lowered her voice and said: "Master, you lied to them."
Xu Bai shook his head: "No, I really intend to give the corpse to the Department of Homeland Security. I keep my promise. This is a character that must be adhered to."
Su Meng was dumbfounded.
"Master..."
"How many corpses did I just say?"
"...five?"
Su Meng answered in this way, and then blinked: "Wait a minute, master, don't we have six corpses in total?"
Xu Bai shrugged.
"This case must involve Chaofan, after all, the Department of Homeland Security is involved, right?"
"Um."
"Does that mean that the Department of Homeland Security must know more than we do?"
"Sure."
"Then if, I say, I won't give you the body, but you have to tell me what you have investigated, do you think they will tell me?"
"That's impossible."
Su Meng shook her head from side to side, very sure of this point, and then she was slightly taken aback: "But Master, if you gave them the body, wouldn't they be more ignorant of telling us?"
The corners of Xu Bai's mouth raised.
"But this way, they will come here."
"Well…"
Su Meng blinked her eyes, looked at the expression on Xu Bai's face, and always felt that she had missed something so that she couldn't keep up with her master's brain circuit.
Xu Bai crossed his arms and looked at Su Meng with a smile on his face, as if he was looking forward to Su Meng using his own strength to connect with his brain circuit.
but…
Su Meng thought for a long time, then gave up immediately, and looked at Xu Bai: "Master, just tell me what you think."
Xu Bai shook his head, looked at Su Meng, and said in a low voice: "As long as they appear with us, even if they don't tell, we can still know. Don't forget, we have a little fat boy who can be active in the long river of fate." Where's the fish?"
Su Meng blinked.
Little fat fish.
Who is this?
