Half an hour later, in front of the cremation room of the Bei Gang City Funeral Parlor.
A tall man in a blue T-shirt walked quickly to Zhao Yu and saluted. "Captain Fang Kaiyu of the Bei Gang City Criminal Police Unit is here to report! Please give me your instructions! "
"Oh … It's Captain Fang! We talked on the phone before. "Zhao Yu shook hands with the man and asked," How is it? Is there any progress on the suspect's side? "
"Leader, we have searched Bai Lang's residence, and he has escaped! There are traces of packing at home, and the technical team is investigating the scene … "
Hmm …
Zhao Yu nodded silently. He had guessed correctly. This person had indeed absconded.
"The suspect has a strong anti-tracking ability," Captain Fang said. "He withdrew his bank card in advance and changed his SIM card, so we can't effectively track him!
"But, leader, please rest assured! We have begun to track down and control Bai Lang's interpersonal relationships, and have issued a wanted order throughout the province. We are trying our best to catch him! "
"Hmm …" Zhao Yu nodded and asked, "So … Can you briefly tell me about this Bai Lang?"
"Bai Lang is from Yuezhou. He is 27 years old. He came to Fu Lai Province three years ago to work as a courier and a bartender. Two years ago, he suddenly came to Bei Gang City Funeral Parlor to work as a contract worker. He has been working there ever since. He is unmarried and has no girlfriend. In Bei Gang City, he is alone! "
"You just used the word 'suddenly'!" Zhao Yu said. "It seems that you also think there is something fishy about this!"
"The director of the funeral parlor just explained," said the young Fang Kaiyu, who looked heroic and sharp. "He said that Bai Lang's application was decided by a leader of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he didn't have the final say on it!
So, I have already sent someone to invite the leader. There will be news soon! "
"Very good! But other than that … "Zhao Yu said steadily." I still need you to investigate more information about Bai Lang, especially his movements after obtaining the body. If you can find the people he was in contact with at the time, it is very likely that you will find his seller or accomplices! "
"Understood!" Fang Kaiyu nodded and went to assign tasks to his men.
"Officer Zhao!" Then, Xiong Wendong leaned forward and whispered, "The director of the funeral parlor said that although cremation is an important job, one person can do it!
"That Bai Lang was very familiar with the process. For a very long time, the task of cremating the corpses was done by him alone! But … "Xiong Wendong asked curiously," Why would you say that he had an accomplice in the funeral parlor? "
"Leader!" Before Zhao Yu could answer, another technical team police officer, who was in charge of inspecting the crematorium, waved his hand and said, "Come and have a look. We found a mezzanine in the crematorium …"
After hearing the news, Zhao Yu hurried over to the cremator to take a look. He saw that the police officer was reaching out to pull an iron plate in the cremator. There was a dark and deep space under the iron plate!
"Here!" The police officer pulled the iron plate and explained, "The suspect installed a rotating shaft. When the body is brought in, the shaft rotates, and the body falls into the safe interlayer, so it won't be burned by the fire!"
"Ah?" Xiong Wendong scratched his head. "But … what about the ashes? Won't the family be suspicious when they find that there are no ashes on the crematorium? "
"They won't!" The technical police officer explained. "After the body is burned, the collection of ashes is all done by the funeral parlor, so the family won't be able to see it!"
"Oh …" Xiong Wendong nodded. "So, the suspect can use something similar to the ashes, put it in the urn, and it's done? That's so wicked! "
"Deceiving the feelings of the deceased's family, doing such a heinous thing, isn't he afraid of retribution?"
"Young man …" Zhao Yu asked the police officer from the technical department, "Do you think that it would be easy to make such a mechanism?"
"Mm …" The technical police officer glanced at the incinerator and shook his head. "It's not easy! You see … We need to clear a space here. In order to ensure that the body is not burned by the heat of the flame, we need to make a half-meter long slide to slide the body into the innermost part … "
"There's also this kind of rotating shaft. After the body is sent into the incinerator, the family will be watching from outside. Naturally, manual rotation won't work. It has to be remote-controlled …"
"Oh …" Xiong Wendong asked Zhao Yu, "Police Officer Zhao, do you mean that there was an accomplice who helped Bai Lang complete it?
"But … This accomplice might not necessarily be an internal staff member of the funeral parlor, right? It could be someone from the outside who came to help him install it. "
"It's not just the crematorium!" Zhao Yu said. "There's also the surveillance video!"
"Ah? Surveillance video? "Xiong Wendong was even more puzzled.
"Have you ever thought …" Zhao Yu said. "Bai Lang had so much time and such good conditions. If he wanted to do it perfectly, why didn't he take care of the surveillance video?
"Since the mechanism in the crematorium is so ingenious, he should have at least turned off the surveillance camera when he stole the body, right? But … why didn't he turn it off? "
"Mm …" Xiong Wendong guessed. "Maybe he was very confident that no one could see through his tricks? That no one would check the surveillance video? "
"But it's also possible …" Zhao Yu said heavily. "Someone wanted to deliberately expose him, so that the police's attention would be focused on Bai Lang, and thus ignore him?"
"Oh my God!" Xiong Wendong was shocked. "If that's really the case, then it's possible that Bai Lang has already been killed! Don't worry, leave the interrogation of the accomplice to me!
"We have all the staff members of the funeral parlor under control. We will take turns to interrogate them and check everyone's information. If there really is such an accomplice, we will definitely find him!"
"Mm!" Zhao Yu nodded. "I have already transferred Wu Xiumin back. She is an expert in interrogation. When the time comes, she will have full command. You will assist her!"
"Yes!" Xiong Wendong nodded vigorously.
"Phew …" Zhao Yu let out a long breath. Although there was some progress in the case, he didn't feel relaxed at all.
Through all the signs in front of him, Zhao Yu increasingly felt that this mysterious group of criminals was much more clever than he had imagined!
Bai Lang had disappeared. If he couldn't find Bai Lang, his accomplice, or the seller, then everything would be back to square one!
