"Leader, where did the fraud happen?" Huang Qianqian asked with concern.
Han Bin put away his phone. "Gao City, Jiang Huawen's house was robbed, his parents were both injured."
"Qianqian, contact our team and prepare to leave the scene."
"Leader, this case hasn't been assigned to our team yet, it should be handled by the local criminal investigation team."
"I'll report to the leader, contact the other team members first," Han Bin said.
"Yes." Huang Qianqian began to contact the other team members.
Han Bin called Ma Jingbo's phone.
Ma Jingbo also agreed for Han Bin to go to the scene, as for whether or not he would take over the case, it still depended on the relationship between the two cases.
After Han Bin went to the scene, if he felt that the two cases were related, Ma Jingbo would report to Ding Xifeng and communicate with the local criminal investigation team to take over the case or set up a joint task force.
…
Gao City, An Ding Elementary School Family Compound.
A loud explosion alerted the residents of the neighborhood, Building 3, Room 201 was on fire, and the surrounding neighbors immediately called the police.
The police station, fire department, ambulance, and criminal investigation team all arrived at the scene.
Gao City Criminal Investigation Team Two took over the scene.
Team Two was the elite of Gao City Criminal Investigation Team, led by Deputy Captain Lin Xingbin.
At this time, there were many leaders calling to inquire about the situation, but Lin Xingbin had no time to personally command.
Team Two's Deputy Captain and Team One leader Li Cunrong was responsible for the coordination of the scene.
The explosion alarmed half of the county, the fire could be seen from afar, and the surrounding residents gathered at the entrance to watch the commotion.
The police station was on guard at the entrance of the neighborhood, and the criminal investigation team was responsible for the entrance.
It took nearly an hour for the fire engine to arrive at the scene and extinguish the fire.
When Han Bin and the others arrived outside the neighborhood, the fire engine had just left.
The entrance of the neighborhood was full of people, and Han Bin habitually glanced at the crowd.
Some arsonists, in order to satisfy their psychological needs, not only would not escape, but they would also return to the scene to check.
Han Bin flashed his police badge and smoothly entered the residential quarters of the Ding Ding district.
Han Bin walked to the vicinity of building 3 and glanced at the crowd around him. They were all unfamiliar faces. "I'm Han Bin from the Criminal Investigation Unit of Fujima City. May I ask who's in charge of the scene?"
The name of the city's criminal investigation team was very useful. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Li Cunrong, the deputy captain of Gaocheng Criminal Investigation Team's Second Squadron, walked over and said in surprise, "Brother Han, it's really you. I almost didn't recognize you."
Li Cunrong's back was facing Han Bin just now, so Han Bin didn't see him. He smiled and said, "Brother Li, you're here too. What a coincidence."
"I should be the one saying that. Aren't you at Yu Hua Branch? How did he get transferred to the city's Criminal Investigation Unit and come to our place? "
"I've just been transferred to the city's Criminal Investigation Unit in March, and I'm currently investigating a murder case. Jiang Huawen might be related to the case, so we purposely went to Gao City today to investigate, but his parents weren't very cooperative. We didn't get to see Jiang Huawen, and who knew something would happen tonight," Han Bin said helplessly.
"No one can tell for sure when it comes to investigating a case." Li Cunrong patted Han Bin's shoulder. "Let's go. Let me introduce you to Lin Xingbin, the deputy captain of Gao Cheng's Criminal Investigation Unit."
With Li Cunrong as an acquaintance, the introductions were much simpler.
Lin Xingbin sized up Han Bin. "I remember that the captain of your Criminal Investigation Unit's Second Squadron is Ma Jingbo, right?"
"Yes, you know our captain."
Lin Xingbin nodded. "We've worked together before."
Although Lin Xingbin's rank was higher, Han Bin was the city's Criminal Investigation Unit's superior department. If Han Bin wanted to investigate the crime scene, Lin Xingbin couldn't refuse.
Since Li Cunrong and Han Bin knew each other, Lin Xingbin decided to let the two of them investigate the crime scene together.
Although the fire had been extinguished, the surrounding area was a mess. The family quarters and corridors were filled with dirty water.
Jiang Kunshan's house was even more severely damaged. First, it was burned by the fire, then it was sprayed with water by the fire truck. The house was already a muddy mess.
Han Bin stood at the door of Jiang Kunshan's house and asked, "Brother Li, did you find out the cause of the explosion?"
"The fire brigade moved a destroyed gas tank from the house. According to them, it should have been a gas leak that caused the explosion. As for whether it was an accident or man-made, we still don't know yet," Li Cunrong said.
Han Bin and the others put on their masks, put on their rain shoes, and entered Jiang Kunshan's house.
It was an old-fashioned three-bedroom apartment. It was more than 90 square meters. The shared area was not big, but it had a high utilization rate.
The living room was burnt black, and the furniture in the house was also burnt. The floor of the house was filled with black water, and it was very slippery to step on it. If one was not careful, they might fall.
Fortunately, the neighborhood did not have gas, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.
The lights in the house were damaged in the explosion, and the team members had to use a strong flashlight.
However, it could only provide partial illumination, and the lighting was not satisfactory.
Tonight, they could only take a rough look. After dawn tomorrow, they still had to investigate the crime scene in detail.
The living room was almost completely burnt, and there were no obvious clues found.
Just then, Bao Xing's voice came from the bedroom. "Captain, there's a situation here."
Han Bin and Li Cunrong walked in and looked in the direction of Bao Xing's flashlight. It was a human-shaped, charred object.
Han Bin used the flashlight to look around. He did not find anything wrong, so he walked over to the charred humanoid object.
Li Cunrong also walked over and poked it with a metal rod. He frowned and said, "It should be a human."
Han Bin stood up and sighed. He vaguely guessed the identity of the deceased. It was very likely to be Jiang Huawen.
The crime scene had been burnt, and other than a charred body, it was difficult to find any other clues.
"Brother Li, is there a surveillance camera in this neighborhood?"
Li Cunrong shook his head. "This neighborhood has been around for more than 20 years. It's considered an old-fashioned neighborhood. There's no formal property management company here, so why would there be any surveillance cameras?"
"We can only visit the surrounding people and neighbors to see if there are any clues."
Han Bin changed the topic and asked, "How are the injuries of Jiang Kunshan and his wife?"
"Zhao Chunlian went into the house first. Her body was burned more than usual, and she even rolled down the stairs. Her injuries are more serious. Jiang Kunshan was also burned, but his condition is much better. "
Just then, the forensics and technical team arrived. Han Bin and the others left the house first.
Actually, even without the forensics, Han Bin had already guessed that this was definitely not an accident. The person in the house should have been dead before the explosion.
The deceased was lying on the ground with his legs together and his hands clasped together on his stomach. This was a typical posture of being tied up. The deceased had maintained this posture, which meant that the body had been stiff when the fire started.
The ropes that were tied up might have been burned.
