Not far from the south side of Tong An Bridge was State Highway 307, forming a T-shaped road with Tong An Bridge. North of Tong An Bridge was a county road leading to Baichang County.
Between Tong An Bridge and Baichang County, there were a few villages around the county road.
The T-shaped road on the south side of Tong An Bridge was monitored by Skynet. It was very close to Tong An Bridge, and it was easy to determine the time of the south side.
Three kilometers north of Tong An Bridge was monitored by Skynet. The cars passing through these two Skynet monitors could accurately determine the driving time of the cars passing through this distance.
However, this three-kilometer county road passed through three village roads, and there were no Skynet monitors on the village roads. It would be more difficult to check the cars entering the county road from the village road.
There were shops on both sides of the county road north of Tong An Bridge. These shops had cameras that could capture the cars entering the county road from the village road, but most of the surveillance cameras had been blocked.
They were busy until 8 pm, but there were still no clues. Zheng Kaixuan told everyone to go home and rest first. They would meet at the office at 7 am tomorrow.
…
At 9 pm, Han Bin returned to his parents' house. Wang Huifang had left him dinner.
Three dishes and one soup: beef skin stewed with bean curd, spinach and vermicelli, stir-fried eight leeks, wonton soup, and the main dish pancake.
"Wow, so sumptuous." Han Bin was surprised. Meat, vegetables, and seafood were all here.
"Your dad called me in the afternoon and said that you might be tired these few days. He asked me to make you something good to nourish you." Wang Huifang said.
Han Weidong pointed at the clay pot. "Son, try this. The bean curd tastes better than beef."
Han Bin took a bite of the bean curd, and it tasted good. He tore a piece of pancake and put it into the clay pot. The pancake absorbed the soup and tasted better.
"Dad, you know that I joined the 9.19 task force?"
"I worked in the police system for so many years, and it's not for nothing." Han Weidong laughed.
"Look at you. You're just a small superintendent." Wang Huifang mocked.
"Not everyone can be the director. The last time he wanted to promote me to the branch office, I rejected it. This is not nonsense, right?"
"In my opinion, it's better to be a deputy in the branch office. It's not as easy as being a director at the grassroots level." Wang Huifang took off her apron and sat at the dining table.
"Long hair, short knowledge."
It wasn't that Han Weidong didn't want to be promoted, but the key was to find a suitable position. He didn't want to go to the branch office and just enjoy his rank and treatment.
Although the police station was a grass-roots unit, it involved many aspects. Moreover, the director was the head of the station and kept his word.
"Son, this case has caused quite a stir. If you perform well, you might really get a third-class merit," Han Weidong said seriously.
"What news have you heard?"
"The pictures of this case have been posted online. The people in our department have been discussing it this afternoon. There are quite a few people who know about it."
"Tsk tsk, that is indeed a big deal." Han Bin took out his phone and searched online for "Moon River" and "Headless Corpse", but he didn't find any related news.
"I've seen the picture. It's a bit scary. I guess the website has already deleted it," Han Weidong said.
"Alright, I'd better hurry and eat. After eating, I should rest early. I'll probably be busy tomorrow." Han Bin sped up his eating speed.
I'll go back and have a good sleep tonight. I don't know when I'll sleep next time …
The next morning.
At 6: 50 am, Han Bin and Li Hui arrived at the office on time.
Zheng Kaixuan and Li Zhankun weren't there yet. The others were busy with their own things. Han Bin sat in front of the computer and continued to watch the surveillance.
At 7 am, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Dai Minghan, Li Zhankun, and Zheng Kaixuan walked in.
"Director Dai."
"Director Dai." Everyone quickly got up and greeted.
"Sit."
Dai Minghan waved her hand and pulled a chair for herself. She glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone here is the elite of Yu Hua Branch.
"Everyone here is an elite from the Yu Hua Branch, so I'll make it short. Transferring you to the 9.19 task force is a sign of trust from the branch. I won't go into detail about the importance of this case, but I'll emphasize one thing: you have to solve this case within ten days.
"Director Dai, isn't ten days too short?" Li Zhankun looked surprised. He didn't seem to know about this.
"This is an order from the municipal bureau. If you can't do it, we'll replace you right now. If the entire Yu Hua Branch can't do it, the municipal bureau will send someone to take over the case," Dai Minghan said seriously.
"Director Dai, the higher-ups are taking this case so seriously?" Zheng Kaixuan asked tentatively.
"I don't need to tell you what will happen in ten days, right?" Dai Minghan said meaningfully.
Everyone looked enlightened. The National Day holiday was the peak of tourism.
Qindao City was a tourist city, and the Headless Corpses Case would definitely have a negative impact. They had to solve the case as soon as possible to minimize the impact.
"As the leader of the task force, my pressure isn't any less than yours. If you need anything, just let me know. Whatever procedures you need, as long as they are in line with the rules, I'll do it immediately. If you need manpower, you can transfer it from each squadron. In short, solve the case first," Dai Minghan said.
"Yes, sir," everyone answered.
"I've heard about the arrangement from Captain Li and Captain Zheng. Team One is responsible for finding the source of the body, and Team Three is responsible for finding the place to dump the body. Since we're all here, let's talk about the investigation and summarize the clues," Dai Minghan said.
"Director Dai, Team One is investigating from three directions. The first is investigating the missing people, the second is investigating the clothes and shoes of the victims, and the third is investigating the ropes that tied them up," Li Zhankun said.
"Any progress?"
"We've visited dozens of clothing stores in Qindao, but we haven't found any clues yet. We've compared the missing people database. Two people went missing around August 30th, but their ages don't match," Li Zhankun said.
"What about the DNA and fingerprints?"
"The DNA is still being compared, so we haven't found anything yet. Due to the high level of corruption, the technical team is still processing the fingerprints, so we can't compare them yet."
Dai Minghan frowned, "That means there's no progress in finding the source of the body."
"Director Dai, I believe we'll have a breakthrough soon," Li Zhankun said confidently.
"I'll wait for your news," Dai Minghan said and looked at Zheng Kaixuan, "What about Team Three?"
"After some analysis, we think the body dump is most likely at Tongan Bridge. We've already retrieved the surveillance cameras around the bridge and are looking for the suspect vehicle," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Are you confident?" Dai Minghan asked.
"Because the body dump has been going on for a long time, many of the surveillance cameras have been deleted, which makes the investigation more difficult," Zheng Kaixuan said honestly.
Dai Minghan nodded, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I've understood the situation of the case.
"I've already understood the investigation of the case. There's no problem with the general direction. Next, it depends on your performance. I hope you'll continue to work hard and solve the case as soon as possible. I'll hold a celebration banquet for you."
"Thank you, Director Dai." Everyone looked forward to it.
This was something to be proud of.
Dai Minghan gave a few more words of encouragement and left the office.
If he stayed here, it would distract everyone.
Zheng Kaixuan gave a few instructions, and the people of Team Three continued to check the surveillance cameras.
At nine o 'clock in the morning, Reuven came and sent some of the recovered surveillance videos to the office of the task force.
Some of the surveillance had been restored, but the clarity was a little worse.
The five people of Team Three checked the surveillance together, and the speed of the investigation was much faster. There was a restaurant 300 meters north of Tongan Bridge. There was a camera installed at the door. After the technical department repaired it, the video surveillance of August 30th was restored.
The nearest village road north of Tongan Bridge was also 500 meters away.
In this way, no cars would be missed between the T-junction and the restaurant. As long as the approximate time of the car's passage was calculated in different periods of time, the car that exceeded this time was a certain suspicion.
At around one o 'clock in the afternoon, Han Bin and the others completed the investigation and found three suspicious cars …
