Zeng Ping left the scene.
The other team members went to investigate.
Han Bin stood around the scene and looked at the people who were looking at him and the scene.
The suspect had spent so much effort to place the victim like this. It was very likely that he was showing off his trophies.
In other words, it was very likely that he would return to the scene again to admire his trophies.
At this time, a man walked over. He was wearing a dark blue down jacket and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
"Excuse me, are you the police officer in charge of this case?"
"I am. What's the matter?" Han Bin sized him up.
"I am Niu Ben's father. I was one of the three children who found the snowman."
"How should I address you?"
"Niu Genshan."
"Mr. Niu, I was just about to look for you." Han Bin reached out and shook hands with the man.
"The child was frightened. I just sent him home," the man said helplessly.
"Such a young child is indeed quite troublesome. We also considered this, so we didn't look for him immediately."
"Thank you for your understanding, comrade. What's the situation with the case?" Niu Genshan asked.
"It's still under investigation."
"Then I won't ask anymore. I have no other reason for coming here. First, I feel uneasy, so I came to take a look. Second, if the police really want to ask about the situation, you can look for me. Don't go to the school to look for the child. The child is really frightened. He can't be tortured anymore."
Niu Genshan sighed. "Don't rush to school. Let the child rest for a few more days," Han Bin said with concern.
Niu Genshan shook his head. "I plan to send him to school tomorrow. There are many children at school, so he's not afraid. There are not many people at home, so it's easy for him to think too much."
This was a private matter, so Han Bin didn't ask too much. He changed the topic. "Did the child tell you about the situation at the scene?"
"I was also afraid that the child would get hurt, so I asked what happened." Niu Genshan took out a cigarette and passed it to Han Bin.
"My child went to school with two classmates. On the way, they saw the snowman. The three boys were at the age of naughtiness, so they started to hit the snowman. In the end, they realized that there was a person hiding inside, and one of his eyeballs fell out. My child was terrified."
Han Bin waved his hand, indicating that smoking was not allowed here. "At that time, did they see any suspicious people or vehicles?"
"Children have long been scared out of their wits. How could they have noticed so much?"
"If it's possible, I still hope to help the police understand more about the situation and solve the case earlier. It's also a good thing for the children."
"No problem, we will think of a way to slowly get information out of the child's mouth, but I still hope that the police will not directly contact the child. The child is timid, and when I talk about this, he cries. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Don't worry, the police won't have direct contact with the child. Even if they want to ask questions, they will have to get the consent of the guardian."
"Thank you so much. I'm relieved to hear that." Niu Genshan said a few more polite words and left the scene.
Han Bin let out a sigh, feeling somewhat helpless.
Logically speaking, he should ask the three children, but some things needed to be dealt with flexibly.
Not far away, Li Hui and Sun Xiaopeng walked over.
Li Hui rubbed his ears. "It's freezing. If I had known earlier, I would have bought earmuffs."
"Did you get any clues from them?"
"They're just here to watch the show. Don't talk about asking them, they even asked me." Li Hui laughed and hurriedly put his ears back.
"Where's the informant?"
"There's no one around, probably left."
Although the three children were the first to discover the body, they were young and frightened, so they could not ask questions for now.
Then, they could only start with the informant.
Although it was not firsthand information, it should be more accurate.
Even if the three children said something, the evidence might not be trustworthy.
Humans were animals that liked to imagine things that didn't exist in their minds.
"Li Hui, you're in charge of finding the informant and have him come to the station to make a statement."
"Got it."
Not long after, Lynch and the other two came over.
After this period of interaction, Lynch had slowly integrated into Team 2, and his relationship with the other team members had become better.
"How's the surveillance going?" Han Bin asked.
Lynch stomped his feet, shaking off the snow on the back of his feet. "This area is newly developed, and it's only been a few years. The location is slightly remote, and there aren't many shops around. There aren't any surveillance cameras that can capture the crime scene."
"Are there any suspicious vehicles?"
Lynch pointed at a few shops in the distance. "I checked a few shops. Because this area is newly developed, not only are the roads wide, but the land in front of the shops is wide as well. The private shops' cameras can't capture the road at all, so I can only go back and check Skynet."
Han Bin glanced at his watch; it was already four in the afternoon. "How about this, I'll rearrange the task."
"Li Hui, contact the informant to make a statement."
"Tian Li, search for the source of the body through the police surveillance system."
"Lynch, take someone to the traffic police surveillance center and check the suspect's vehicle."
"Yes."
…
After returning to the station.
Han Bin wrote down a few directions of investigation on the whiteboard: source of the body, first scene, vehicle, genetic material, footprints, snowman case.
After investigating these clues, the general situation of the case would be clear.
Not long after, the technical team sent over the high-definition photos of the crime scene. Han Bin skimmed through them. The footprints were messy and messy.
What Han Bin could do now was to memorize these footprints so that he could have a general impression of them in his mind.
When he found the suspect, he could compare the suspect's footprints with these footprints.
Or, this case and the snowman case were committed by the same murderer. Then, he could compare the footprints at the two crime scenes. The two cases were separated by a year, and the same person's footprints appeared at the two crime scenes. This person was very suspicious.
It was even possible that he was the murderer.
Han Bin arranged for the others to leave. At this time, he was the only one in the office.
"Da da da …" A series of footsteps sounded. Although it was not loud, Han Bin still recognized the identity of the person.
Tian Li entered the room and placed a document on Han Bin's table. "Team Leader, I checked the recent missing persons and found a girl with similar circumstances to the deceased."
Han Bin kept the photos. "When was the case reported?"
"This morning, at the Tong 'an Road Police Station."
Han Bin looked at the information. The missing person was called Zhang Yiyi, eighteen years old this year, from this city. She disappeared yesterday morning.
"The situation matches. Contact the person who reported the case and ask him to come over."
"Yes."
Not long after, Li Hui and Zhao Ming also returned to the office.
Han Bin went straight to the point. "Did you contact the person who reported the case?"
"I did, but he said he can't come today. He can only come over tomorrow to make a statement." Li Hui shrugged.
Zhao Ming spread his hands. "Don't worry about how big the case is. It has nothing to do with him. He is just not in a hurry."
"Remember to ask him tomorrow."
"Got it." Li Hui yawned and said, "Brother Bin, such a big case happened. Why didn't Captain Zeng show up?"
"Captain Zeng went to the scene for a while and then left," Han Bin said.
"That shouldn't be. This should be a big case."
"Captain Zeng said he heard of a snowman case before. It is similar to this case. He went to inquire about the snowman case."
"Snowman case. That's quite similar," Zhao Ming said.
"Eh, after hearing what you said, I think I have some impression of it." Li Hui showed a thoughtful expression.
Han Bin did not rush him. He turned his head and looked out the window. The snowball outside the window had mostly melted.
…
Half an hour later, Tian Li returned to the office with a man behind her.
The man looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a black cotton-padded jacket. There were some oil stains on the cuffs. He looked anxious, and there was a layer of stubble around his mouth.
"Team Leader, this is the person who reported Zhang Yiyi's disappearance." After Tian Li finished the introduction, she pointed at Han Bin. "This is our Team Leader Han."
The man strode over and quickly held Han Bin's hand. "Team Leader Han, I heard that you found news about my daughter?"
Because they could not confirm that Zhang Yiyi was the deceased, in order to prevent the man from being too anxious, Tian Li did not tell him that the deceased was probably her daughter.
"How should I address you?" Han Bin made an inviting gesture and gestured for the man to sit down.
"My name is Zhang Dagang. I am Zhang Yiyi's father. My daughter has been missing for more than a day. Please help me find her."
"When did your daughter go missing?"
"She left home yesterday morning and could not be contacted anymore. It has been more than 30 hours," Zhang Dagang sighed.
"Does your daughter go to school or work?"
"She goes to school. She goes to the Qindao Technical College."
"Is the Qindao Technical College on holiday?" Zhao Ming interrupted.
"Yes, she went out yesterday morning. I went to work at night, and she was not home yet. I did not think much of it at the time, but when I came back this morning, I found that there was still no one at home. I panicked and called her, but her phone was not in the service area." Zhang Dagang looked worried.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you do?" Han Bin asked.
"I do maintenance on the railway. The trains run during the day, and in order not to affect the operation, we usually do maintenance at night."
"What time did you leave home last night?"
"Oh, around seven. When I left, I sent her a message telling her to go home early and close the doors and windows. She replied that she understood."
"Have you contacted her since then?"
"I wanted to call her at eight or nine, but I was so busy that I forgot." Speaking of this, Zhang Dagang showed a regretful expression. "It's all my fault. If I had called her at that time, maybe Yiyi would not have gone missing."
"Is there anything special about your daughter?"
"What, what do you mean?" Zhang Dagang was a little flustered. "Didn't you say that you have clues about my daughter? Why are you asking me about her special characteristics again? "
"We are not sure if it is your daughter."
Zhang Dagang stood up abruptly and said with a trembling voice, "What's wrong with my daughter? Is she injured?"
