At first, the police judged that the theft would happen at night based on past experience. However, after checking the surveillance footage, they found that the layout of all fifteen surveillance cameras in the parking lot under the building was very reasonable.
Moreover, all of them worked well at night. After analyzing the video footage, they found no editing or missing parts.
Then, when they checked the surveillance footage during the day, they found that there were three times during the day when all of the cameras were missing video files at the same time. The longest was more than two hours, and the shortest was about thirty minutes.
After asking, they found out that the three times the surveillance footage was missing was because the construction team was replacing the aging circuit, which involved the power supply cable of the underground parking lot.
Although the reason was very good, when the investigator compared the missing video footage with the before and after images, he found that although the goods of the seven stolen shops were covered with tarpaulin, the appearance of the tarpaulin in the video footage had obviously changed.
At this point, it could be concluded that the building's security team must have been involved in the theft. The most suspicious personnel were the team members who were responsible for patrolling during the power outage.
When the communication work began, the technicians also locked onto the suspect vehicles through the "Sky Eye" surveillance system around the building — two large dregs trucks.
When the security team's suspects were still stubbornly resisting, the drivers of the two dregs trucks couldn't stand the pressure of the police's questioning and started to talk first.
They admitted that they were nominally transporting renovation waste when they set out. In fact, the waste in the back of the truck was only the top layer, and the bottom layer was filled with the stolen goods. At the same time, they also confessed that they saw the people involved when they were loading the goods — the security guards, the construction team, and two construction inspectors appointed by the building management office.
At this point, the theft of the Electromechanical Building was basically solved, and the related people were all quickly arrested.
After the interrogation, the police found that although the theft seemed to be full of loopholes, in fact, the plan of the people involved was very thorough.
There were so many shops in the building, and the reason why they chose sixteen of them was mainly because the owners of these sixteen shops basically didn't check the goods from the beginning of the building's renovation until now.
Moreover, after the building management office installed the cameras in the underground parking lot, they didn't upgrade the storage space of the surveillance cameras. As a result, the hard disk capacity that could originally store fifteen days was now only able to store a little more than three days.
In their plan, if someone came to check the goods in these sixteen shops three days after the crime, they would use the excuse that the underground parking lot's circuit was being modified as an excuse to delay it.
After the surveillance information was completely covered, even if the shops found out that the goods were stolen, the police couldn't even determine when the goods were stolen, let alone find the relevant clues.
Although the plan was good, not all the security guards were involved in it. One day after the crime was committed, one of the owners of one of the sixteen shops that had been stolen had finished his business near the Mechanical and Electrical Building. He stopped by the underground parking lot to check on the goods that he had stored.
It just so happened that the security guard on duty at the entrance of the parking lot wasn't a gang member. After the shop owner gave him two packs of cigarettes, the security guard let him in.
Although the case had been solved, it did not mean that it was over. There were still actions to be taken to recover the stolen goods.
The target was the scrap collection station where the suspect had disposed of the stolen goods.
According to the police's past experience in handling cases, dirty operations were usually very simple. A few police cars and several police officers were dispatched to the junkyard. They showed the search warrant and summoned the suspect.
However, he didn't expect to run into a "tough nut" in this dirty operation.
After the police arrived at the waste collection station, they first encountered an old lady who was making a scene and trying to stop the police from searching. Suddenly, eight or nine local personnel rushed in from the outside with knives in their hands. Without saying a word, they began to attack the police officers who were forcibly carrying out the search.
The conflict directly entered a white-hot state from the beginning. When a police officer was injured in the conflict, the leading police officer took out his pistol and fired a warning shot. Just when the local personnel were shocked.
The owner of the waste collection station, Yuan Hai, suddenly rushed out of the house with a bundle of detonators that had been ignited. When the fuse was about to burn out, he threw it into the yard.
After the explosion that shook the ground, the owner of the waste collection station opened his lapel and showed the police a circle of detonators inserted in his waist. He asked the police to get out immediately. If they were slow, he would ignite the fuse of the detonators on his waist and die with the police.
The leading police officer saw that the suspect was very emotional. In order to appease him, he immediately asked his men to withdraw from the waste collection station. While monitoring the periphery, he reported the situation to the leader …
When Qu Sen and his team members approached the scene by car, they just heard two loud explosions. Then, they saw a large number of police cars parked on the side of the road. Moving forward, they saw the waste collection station surrounded by the police and armed police forces.
After the on-site commander received the news that the drone team had arrived, he immediately issued an order. The people brought by Qu Sen were divided into three drone teams. The second and third teams took the protection vehicles and were scattered on the right side and rear of the waste collection station.
After they were in place, the second team flew above the general reconnaissance drone to investigate the situation in the waste collection station. The third team was on standby.
Qu Sen formed a drone team with a student in the class and took the equipment directly to the command vehicle.
The on-site commander was Captain Gao of the city's Criminal Police Brigade. Qu Sen had fought with him several times before, so he was an acquaintance.
After getting in the car and seeing that it was someone he knew, he asked, "What exploded just now?"
"Detonators!" After Captain Gao replied, he briefly explained the case to Qu Sen. He introduced, "Now there are about eleven people in the waste collection station. One of them is an old woman. Preliminary verification should be the mother of Yuan Hai, the owner of the waste collection station.
Just now, two local people who participated in the violent resistance tried to climb over the wall and ran out. They were scared back by Yuan Hai's detonation of the detonators. It's not clear whether the people in the yard were injured. "
"Internal strife?" Qu Sen heard that Yuan Hai used the detonators to blow up his own people and asked strangely.
"After our previous observation, Yuan Hai and the local people who participated in the violent resistance should be in a state of euphoria after taking drugs. Just now, it's estimated that someone woke up and tried to escape under our pressure. "Captain Gao gave his judgment.
"No wonder." Qu Sen muttered.
He was still wondering before. Huacheng City was not a remote area, and the villagers' awareness of the law was weak. Even a fool knew that confronting the police with a few detonators was no different from courting death.
After listening to Captain Gao's introduction, he understood that it was a group of people who took drugs that damaged their brains.
While the two were talking, the general reconnaissance drone released by the second team was already in place. From the synchronized image in the command vehicle, they could clearly see the situation in the yard of the waste collection station.
They saw Yuan Hai walking back and forth in the yard, as well as the local people who were scattered around the yard dejectedly. The old lady was also sitting in the house. From the open window, they could see that she was in a good state of mind. None of the people were injured from the previous explosion.
Captain Gao sighed and said to Qu Sen, "In order to prevent theft, this waste collection station is surrounded by high walls and barbed wire. Now, the main entrance is blocked by Yuan Hai's van. If it weren't for you guys, it would be very difficult for us to find out the situation in the yard. "
Qu Sen stared at the image for a while and found that the people in the yard, except for Yuan Hai who was very irritable, were very well-behaved. They didn't look like they were going to fight with the police at all.
He whispered, "Looking at the situation, the problem now lies with Yuan Hai. The other people don't seem to have a strong will to fight."
Captain Gao nodded and said, "Those guys were just blinded by drugs before. Now that they have calmed down and are surrounded by so many police officers, who doesn't know how to be afraid?
As for that Yuan Hai … I guess there must be some seriously prohibited items in the waste collection station. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought so hard. "
Qu Sen guessed that too. If this waste collection station only collected stolen goods or something, even if Yuan Hai was in a daze because of drugs at the beginning, he should have calmed down by now.
If it was just a small amount of detonators, he would at most be sentenced to a few years in prison. Why would he risk his life to confront the police?
Qu Sen knew that he shouldn't talk too much and disturb Captain Gao's thoughts, but he still couldn't control himself and asked subconsciously, "Then what should we do next?"
"Wait!" Captain Gao said one word in a deep voice and then explained, "Before you guys arrived, through shouting, we judged that although Yuan Hai was very emotional, there was still a possibility of communication. So the city has already sent negotiators over.
Doesn't your drone have a broadcast function? In a while, fly into the yard and shout, let Yuan Hai get used to it. When the time comes, he can enter the yard with the negotiators and investigate the situation in the yard at close range. "
"Okay, use the Type 2 General Reconnaissance Drone. It just passed the evaluation team's evaluation this morning. It is also equipped with a stun gun. If there is a chance to get close, we can directly take down Yuan Hai. "Qu Sen immediately gave his opinion.
"Stun gun? Is it reliable? "Captain Gao heard and immediately looked at Qu Sen.
"Although it hasn't been used in actual combat, the test results are very good. There is no wind today. With a distance of about one and a half meters, even a cow would have to lie down if it was hit. "Qu Sen said very confidently.
"Okay, it just so happens that we can't find a suitable place to set up sniping positions around here. When we are confident, we will take action. You can do it yourself! "
"Yes!"
After Qu Sen responded solemnly, he immediately prepared the Type 2 General Reconnaissance Drone with the students that he brought.
Just as the drone finished its self-inspection, the speaker in the command vehicle sounded, "Captain, the negotiators sent by the city have arrived."
"Let him come to the command vehicle."
Not long after the order was given, a Santana 2000 stopped next to the command vehicle. Soon, a young woman in casual clothes got out of the car.
When Captain Gao saw the person coming from the surveillance camera, he frowned. After the young woman got into the car, he immediately lowered his voice and said in a reprimanding tone, "Why are you here!"
"Huh? Brother, what did you say? "
"What are you shouting for!"
"Captain Gao! Is that enough? "
"Why did your director send you here?"
"The suspects this time don't have guns or cannons. Our director thought it would be a good opportunity for me to train."
"Nonsense, no guns or cannons!" Captain Gao pointed at the image on the surveillance camera with a stern face. "See, all the suspects are holding controlled knives. The main culprit also has a large number of detonators. This is called no guns or cannons!"
