Yu Hua Branch.
Team Two gathered in the office and chatted for a while.
Han Bin gave a brief introduction of the case.
After receiving Zeng Ping's WeChat message, Han Bin led Team Two to the meeting room.
"Knock, knock."
"Come in."
Han Bin pushed the door open and walked into the meeting room. Four men wearing masks were sitting around the oval table.
Although most of their faces were covered, Han Bin could still recognize three of them.
Dai Minghan, Zeng Ping, and Ma Jingbo. The man next to Ma Jingbo looked familiar. He should be a member of Team Two of the municipal criminal investigation team.
Han Bin saluted. "Chief Dai."
"You're all here. Have a seat." Dai Minghan pointed at the chair next to her. "Do you understand the basic situation?"
"Yes."
"This is a special time. To make a long story short, the body of the victim was found by our branch, but because the victim's disappearance and the reported location were not under the jurisdiction of Yu Hua Branch, it was handed over to the municipal criminal investigation team. Yesterday, Captain Ma found an important clue, but because of the lack of manpower, he proposed to form a joint task force with our branch. The leader of the branch wants your team to participate in this case. Is there a problem?"
Han Bin said straightforwardly, "No problem. I guarantee that the mission will be completed."
Dai Minghan turned to look at Ma Jingbo. "Captain Ma, can you introduce the progress of the case?"
"Okay." Ma Jingbo opened his laptop.
"According to the forensics team, the body you found contains the DNA of two people. After comparing it with the DNA database, we found the identity of one of the victims."
Ma Jingbo put a file on the projector.
Name: Cao Da
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: August 17, 1996
Phone: 138427 XXXX
Address: 2204, Building 5, Bairong District, Changshan District, Qingdao
Date of Disappearance: January 18, 2020
Ma Jingbo pointed at the projector and continued, "Cao Da has a criminal record of theft. I asked the forensics team to check Cao Da's communication records and found a suspicious phone call. This phone number was Cao Da's last contact. I asked someone to check this phone number and found that it was an unregistered SIM card."
"This phone number is even more suspicious. I asked the technical team to check this number and found that there are only three contacts. The second contact is Cao Da."
At this point, Ma Jingbo changed another document. "This is the first contact's information."
Name: Ren Jianhua
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: May 12, 1999
Mobile Number: 132985 XXXX
Occupation: Student of Kojima University
Date of disappearance: January 11, 2020
"Ren Jianhua is the first contact of the suspicious number. He has also disappeared, one week earlier than Cao Da."
Speaking of this, Ma Jingbo's tone became more serious. "I've checked the third contact with the suspicious phone number, Zhao Xiaoshan. This phone call was made on January 31st, which is yesterday morning. So far, no one has reported him missing, but Zhao Xiaoshan's phone number is no longer in the service area."
"According to my speculations, Zhao Xiaoshan might have encountered an accident as well. However, since he has only been missing for a day, Zhao Xiaoshan's chances of survival are still very high."
After saying that, Ma Jingbo returned to his seat. "That's the general situation of the case. If you have any questions, you can ask them directly."
Zeng Ping cleared his throat. "Captain Ma, have you confirmed with Zhao Xiaoshan's family?"
Ma Jingbo smiled bitterly. "I would like to, but we don't have enough manpower. I haven't had the time."
The city's criminal investigation team's jurisdiction was ten times bigger than Yu Hua Branch, and they needed more manpower.
Dai Minghan's voice was low through the mask. "From the current situation, this case is indeed complicated, and the nature is very bad. There is a need to form a joint task force. Captain Zeng, what do you think?"
Since Dai Minghan had said that, Zeng Ping naturally could not object. "You're right. I also think there is a need to form a joint task force."
"Then it's decided. We'll temporarily call it Case 131. Ma Jingbo will be the leader of the joint task force, and Zeng Ping will be the deputy leader. I hope you can work together and solve the case as soon as possible."
"Yes."
"I won't say anything unnecessary. To solve the case, you have to pay attention to your own safety. You must wear a mask." After saying that, Dai Minghan stood up and left the meeting room.
After watching Dai Minghan leave, Ma Jingbo glanced at Han Bin and the others before looking at Zeng Ping. "Captain Zeng, you should say something as well."
Zeng Ping declined politely. "I won't say anything, Captain Ma. You know this case better than I do, so you should assign the task."
Even though Zeng Ping and Ma Jingbo were both platoon leaders, Ma Jingbo was from the city bureau, so he could be considered a leader of a higher department. He would be half a rank higher when he was transferred to the branch.
If Ma Jingbo was transferred from the city bureau to Yu Hua Branch, he would at least be a deputy leader.
Even so, Ma Jingbo might not be willing.
Ma Jingbo had only asked Zeng Ping to say a few words out of politeness.
Han Bin and the others were Zeng Ping's subordinates, so Ma Jingbo had to give them some face.
Ma Jingbo looked around at the crowd and said, "Then I'll say a few words. Everyone knows the current situation. We're still in Fei Yan, and the villages below have all been sealed off, which brings a certain degree of difficulty to the investigation. If you don't have to go out, try not to. The investigation methods are also inclined to reduce the contact of people."
"To facilitate the investigation, I have decided to split the task force into two teams. One team will be led by me, and the other team will be led by Captain Zeng." After saying that, Ma Jingbo looked at Zeng Ping. "Captain Zeng, what do you think?"
Zeng Ping nodded. "Okay."
"I have a name list here. I will call out the names directly. Han Bin, Zhao Ming, and Tian Li will be in my team. Captain Zeng will be responsible for Li Hui, Wang Xiao, Du Qi, and Sun Xiaopeng." After calling out the names, Ma Jingbo glanced at everyone. "Any questions?"
Zeng Ping was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Wang Xiao was from the second team of the city's criminal investigation team. Logically speaking, it was more convenient for Ma Jingbo to use his own people, but he was assigned to Zeng Ping's team.
Zeng Ping was more or less surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
"Then it's settled." After Ma Jingbo assigned the people, he took a pen and scribbled on his notebook.
"This case involves more victims, and the clues are more complicated. If anyone has any good ideas, we can discuss them. We will start from the most important clues. The third victim is likely to be in danger, so we must race against time."
As soon as Ma Jingbo finished speaking, everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces. They did not speak immediately.
After all, it was a temporary team that had just been formed.
After a moment of silence, Ma Jingbo was ready to call out the names. He looked around and his eyes fell on Han Bin.
The captain had praised this kid a lot.
