Chapter 654: Discovery of Clues
On the way to a nearby hotel, Lao Liu and Glasses unexpectedly met the three people. After all, the two of them plus a Chinese man live nearby, so they are quite conspicuous when walking on the road.
Naturally, they hung up from far behind.
Lao Liu was thinking about going fishing after get off work and wanted to go up and check it out early and call it a day. Glasses should be more cautious. After all, this is a relatively high-risk group of three people. It is recommended to call for backup and wait until there are more people before going forward to investigate.
This is an old saying. After all, the job of a police officer is usually about mediating neighborhood disputes or dealing with fights, even if there are no big things happening on weekdays. Even if they arrest violent criminals, under the threat of gunpoint and police uniforms, there is basically no danger.
But if something bad happens, the police are afraid of what may happen. If something bad happens, even if they are involved in a traffic accident, they may be hit and killed by a passing car. So it’s definitely right to be cautious, as long as you wait a little longer.
Lao Liu nodded in agreement.
Just as the two of them followed them all the way to the Passenger Transport Center of Jiujiang City, they saw the three people suddenly turned in a different direction and jumped in, and then disappeared in the crowd of people inside the station.
The two looked at each other and had no choice but to follow them.
An hour later.
I wandered around the station for a long time without finding anyone, and just waiting for the follow-up reinforcements on duty team to arrive was of no use at all. After all, there is such a large amount of traffic in front of you. Unless you check the front and back doors one by one, you will be looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Lao Liu, there is no record of the departure of the morning bus at the station. It is estimated that the three people left through the back door and did not take the bus." Glasses, who had returned from searching for information from the station office, handed over a stack of information in his hand. Lao Liu.
There are bus schedules, real-name registration passenger information tables, etc.
Lao Liu flipped through the information casually, with an ominous premonition in his heart, and said: "These three people obviously have a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance, and they are probably not good people. They must have discovered the presence of the police at the moment, so They escaped in the middle. So, let’s go to the hotel where they are staying to see if we can find anything, and maybe we can wait and see.”
He adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "You said they had already discovered that we were following us, how could they still go back to the hotel?"
Lao Liu said as he walked: "Then let's get ahead of them and see if we can intercept their luggage. When we followed them last time, I remember they didn't even have their luggage in their hands."
The group immediately rushed to the hotel and first checked the check-in information of the three suspicious persons at the front desk, as well as the current occupancy status of the room.
After confirming that the three of them had not returned to the hotel, they called the waiter to go upstairs, threw away the small "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on the door handle, and swiped in the universal room card.
Lao Liu couldn't wait to open the door.
As soon as they entered the room, everyone smelled the faint smell of blood.
"bathroom."
Lao Liu squinted his eyes and looked at the closed toilet, then reached out to block his glasses from entering the room: "Wait a minute, this is probably a murder scene, please notify the identification room first."
Lao Liu has seen many murder cases, but this was the first time he encountered it. It was impossible not to be curious.
Staring at the closed toilet door, Lao Liu's mind kept replaying those sadistic videos he watched in QQ groups and QQ space when he was young.
There was a pickup truck parked on the sand. Several men wearing hoods dragged a hostage with his hands tied behind his back and blindfolded from the trunk and threw him on the ground. They then pressed him directly on his back and supported the hostage with one knee. On the back, one knife was cut from the back and the head was rubbed back and forth starting from the throat.
In the end, only the flesh on the back of the neck was left of the hostage's head, still connected to the body.
Xiao Liu, who was only 15 years old at the time, exploded after watching the video.
To this day, Lao Liu still can't help but tremble. Thanks to the state's control over the Internet, he can finally see all these messy things on the Internet.
For some reason, Lao Liu always felt that behind that door, there might be a mutilated corpse that had been quartered by five horses, or had its head and hands and feet chopped off, or there might even be several of them.
These are all good things to do.
A car is on fire, a human body is on fire
"matches!"
At this moment, Lao Liu suddenly thought of the alarm he had received earlier, which was that he was collecting matches everywhere in the surrounding area. Because he was so frequent, some merchants called the police.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and quickly searched for relevant information online. After a few minutes, he got conclusive evidence.
"A large number of matches can make fire powder." Lao Liu stared blankly at the ground and shook his head slightly. "This is beyond our control. I'm afraid it will be reported to the anti-terrorist detachment."
"By the way, Glasses, you go find the hotel management now and pull out the surveillance on this side of the corridor, and then..."
Just as he was talking, Lao Liu's phone rang again.
Visual reconnaissance team.
(PS: The video investigation squadron specializes in finding clues to illegal crimes by watching video surveillance, and then reports the results to investigators. They are not responsible for specific on-site search and arrest work, and they have no law enforcement power. They are only responsible for video investigation. )
"Hey, Officer Liu. We checked the surveillance around the passenger terminal and found that these three people got on a bus bound for Dongzhou at the back door of the passenger terminal. The license plate number was Haig G23125. Now the bus is on the highway. "
"Damn, it seems that they got on the bus through scalpers!" Lao Liu cursed secretly, wondering how these newcomers could have such skilled anti-reconnaissance techniques and know how to find scalpers to take shortcuts.
Through the scalpers that are everywhere in China, they not only avoided the real-name registration procedure, but also, under the guidance of the scalpers who are familiar with the roads, they jumped directly into the alley outside the station and got on the bus to Dongzhou without anyone noticing.
If Lao Liu and his team had not gone out to investigate because the merchant reported to the police that the other party was collecting matches, the contemporary police who are accustomed to screening through big data (checking the real-name ticket purchase system for airplanes, trains and buses) might have thought that this group of people were still staying in Yiwu City.
Thinking of this, Lao Liu's eyes suddenly condensed, and he remembered the cooperative investigation information sent by the railway police. It was written on it that the destination of this group of people was Dongzhou!
Based on the anti-reconnaissance awareness of these people, Lao Liu was very sure that the railway police's suspicion must have been noticed by these people, so they got off the train in advance.
But in the end, they still rushed to Dongzhou by bus.
I'm afraid something big is going to happen!
Dongzhou police must be notified immediately!
Investigator Lao Liu hung up the phone, worried.
The wind blew through the half-open window in the room, making a humming sound.
