Chapter 268: Treat a Dead Horse as a Living One
Before seeing the scene, these possibilities cannot be ruled out for the time being.
Cen Lian didn't know that in the short half hour he left, others had already started a very heated discussion on the case. At this time, he was communicating with colleagues from the Liangzhou Municipal Bureau of Long Province in Deputy Director Wu's office.
The person sent by the Liangzhou Municipal Bureau to communicate with them was Qi Yunlong, the captain of the first team of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Detachment. This captain with a rather domineering name actually looked more elegant and was quite polite when he spoke.
Although he had never seen this type of captain, Cen Lian's first impression of him was not bad.
"Qi Da, you're welcome. We're not as powerful as you said," Cen Lian politely said after Qi Yunlong praised him for free, "We are all brothers, so we should help each other."
Qi Yunlong was accompanied by his deputy captain Lian Peng. This was quite easy to remember, so much so that Cen Lian was reminded of the newly blooming lotus flowers in the urban park.
"It's not that we're being polite, it's mainly because we're under too much pressure on this case," Qi Yunlong told the truth after finishing his polite remarks, "In the past two years, the economy has recovered, and our province's tourism industry has just recovered a bit, and our city can also be considered a tourist industry. The city, in addition to the great pressure on this matter, would have required us to solve the case within a time limit if there were not too few clues in the case. "
Although Cen Lian has long heard of the term solving crimes within a time limit, he has never seen it with his own eyes.
In the past, when they were at the police station, no case that needed to be solved within a time limit could fall on them. Once the support team was established, their efficiency in solving cases was generally faster than the time given to solve the case within a time limit.
After Versailles was over in his mind, Cen Lian communicated carefully with these two men again, only to realize that they were already digging deep for clues about this case.
"Our current investigation direction is still on dismemberment tools." Qi Yunlong is an old criminal policeman. Although he looks elegant and polite, in fact, when he opens his mouth, he can see the yellow teeth from long-term smoking. "Similar large-scale equipment is in our urban area. It’s not very common. Before we came here, we were conducting a blanket inspection of all companies with relevant industrial equipment in the city, but we found nothing.”
"So you currently suspect that the scene of the first crime and the scene of dismemberment are not in Liangzhou City," Cen Lian certainly understood what Qi Yunlong meant. "I read from the information that the Gobi Desert where the bones were found is far away from your urban area?"
"Yes, hundreds of kilometers." Qi Yunlong also felt that it was very troublesome. "And judging from the frequent strong winds in the Gobi Desert, it is very likely that these bones were blown to our jurisdiction by the wind. There are indeed many traces caused by friction with sand and gravel.”
This was somewhat of an unforeseen disaster. Although he had never been to the Gobi Desert before, he had seen documentaries about the Hexi Corridor before and had a certain understanding of the topography of such a place.
If a plastic bag containing some body fragments is thrown into the no-man's land of the Gobi Desert, then with the influence of various heavy rains, winds, hail and other severe weather, it is entirely possible that the plastic bag will be blown anywhere and be exposed outside. The layers were shattered, revealing the remaining bones.
"In this situation, it is difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased." Cen Lian saw the photo of the broken bones. There was no criminal record on it, but because the body was too mutilated, he could not confirm for the time being because the body itself was a good and law-abiding citizen. Or it could not be seen because the total volume of the body parts did not meet the system's criteria for a criminal record.
It seems that this case was very difficult from the first step.
"That's right, so we're going to find your support team for help." Qi Yunlong sighed as he spoke, obviously tortured by this case.
In fact, he was not sure whether Kang'an City's well-known support team could really solve the case, but in this situation, he also felt like treating a dead horse as a living horse.
