If what Zhang Li said was true, then this would be a murder case.
Han Bin asked, "Apart from you, did anyone else see it?"
Zhang Li nodded, "Yes, and the staff in charge of the hot air balloon. They wanted to stop it, but it was too late."
"What about the clown?"
"I was only looking at the hot air balloon, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. He must have run away."
Han Bin glanced at his watch. It had been more than 20 minutes since the hot air balloon accident, and the clown had probably escaped long ago.
If he took off his clown costume and went after the clown, it would be like cutting a boat to find a sword.
At that moment, two police cars drove over, and a few people in police uniforms got out of the car. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked about 40 years old.
Han Bin walked forward and showed his police badge, "I am Han Bin from the city's criminal investigation team. I was playing with friends at the amusement park, and after the accident happened, I rushed to the scene to maintain order."
The middle-aged policeman shook hands with Han Bin, "Thank you for your hard work. I am the deputy director of the Zouma Police Station, Zheng Minying. Thank you for helping us maintain order."
"You're welcome. I also worked at the Yuhua Branch for a while," Han Bin responded and briefly explained the situation to Zheng Minying.
The amusement park was located in the Yuhua District, and the case was also handled by the Yuhua Branch. After handing over the case to the police from the Zouma Police Station, Han Bin had completed his duties.
This case would probably be handed over to the criminal investigation team of the Yuhua Branch. If it was any other branch, Han Bin might not interfere too much, but the Yuhua Branch was different.
Han Bin had been transferred from the Yuhua Branch to the city bureau. Bureau Chief Dai Minghan, who was in charge of criminal investigation, had a good relationship with Han Bin, and had once promoted Han Bin.
Han Bin felt that it was necessary to greet him.
If Dai Minghan needed, he could wait until the people from the criminal investigation team of the Yuhua Branch arrived.
Although the people from the Zouma Police Station were already at the scene, the police were different from the criminal police. The former only maintained order and protected the scene, and could not further investigate the case.
To put it bluntly, it might delay the best investigation time.
Han Bin walked to the side and dialed Dai Minghan's number. "Hello, Chief Dai."
"Yo, Han Bin, why did you call me?"
"Chief Dai, I'm playing with my friends at the amusement park in Zouma Town. There's been an accident here. I'm guessing you've already received the news."
"Yes, I just received the news. What's the situation over there?"
Han Bin explained, "The hot air balloon had an accident and fell from a high altitude. At that time, one of the passengers on the hot air balloon was already dead. The landing site was relatively empty, so there were no more casualties."
"That's good." Dai Minghan heaved a sigh of relief. When he heard that there was an accident at the amusement park, he was shocked just now. Because the amusement park was densely populated and there were children, it was very likely that there would be a large number of casualties. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Han Bin continued, "I just asked the victim's friend. According to the victim's friend, the victim was probably murdered. It was not a simple accident."
"What do you think?"
Han Bin thought for a moment and said, "At that time, there was only the victim on the hot air balloon. The reason why the hot air balloon had an accident was that the switch of the cable holding the hot air balloon in place was damaged."
"I just checked the broken part of the cable. It does seem to be man-made. After learning about this situation, I immediately reported it to you. There is no further investigation for the time being. "
Dai Minghan pondered for a moment. "I understand. I'll immediately ask Zeng Ping to rush over with the third team. Since you're at the scene, don't leave. Do what you need to do. Don't delay the investigation. "
Han Bin replied, "I'll follow your arrangements. However, the police station in Zouma Town …"
Dai Minghan said without hesitation, "I'll talk to them and ask them to cooperate with your investigation."
"Yes."
Dai Minghan, his old boss, had spoken. Even if it was voluntary work, Han Bin had to do it.
After that, the third team of the Criminal Investigation Unit of Yuhua Branch took over. After all, they were still one of their own.
Looking at the situation, they wouldn't be able to leave for a while. Han Bin took out his phone and called Wang Ting's number.
After the phone was connected, Wang Ting's concerned voice came through. "Han Bin, are you guys okay?"
"It's okay. Bao Xing and I are fine. We're already at the scene of the hot air balloon crash, but I don't think we can leave for a while. Let me tell you."
"Is the person on the hot air balloon dead?"
"Dead, so things are a little more troublesome." Han Bin didn't hide it. There were too many onlookers at the scene, so there was no need to hide it.
"Okay, you go ahead with your work. Qianqian and I will stay in the car."
Han Bin reminded her. "One more thing. If you see a clown, you must stay away from him. Then call me. "
Wang Ting was a little surprised. "What's wrong with a clown?"
Han Bin whispered. "Looking at the current situation, this accident is likely caused by a clown. He is very dangerous. You must stay away from him."
"Ah!" Wang Ting's voice was a little surprised, and there was a faint trace of fear. "After we separated from you, Qianqian and I saw a clown when we returned to the parking lot."
Han Bin hurriedly asked, "Are you two okay?"
"We're fine."
"Lock the door and protect yourselves."
"We understand. We're not going anywhere."
"Where did the clown go? Do you know?"
"The clown was holding a few balloons in the shape of animals. Qianqian wanted to go and see, but I stopped her. Then, in the blink of an eye, no one was there. "
The more Han Bin listened, the more worried he became. "How about this? Don't be alone in the parking lot. I'll ask Bao Xing to pick you up."
Han Bin still felt that Wang Ting was more at ease under his watch.
"Okay." Wang Ting was not very brave. When she heard that the clown was likely to be the murderer, she felt a little guilty.
Huang Qianqian was excited. "What did Captain Han just say? Is the clown a bad person? I knew it. He doesn't look like a good person. Cousin, you shouldn't have stopped me just now. Otherwise, I might have caught him. "
Wang Ting hung up the phone. "Alright, stop messing around."
…
After that, Han Bin arranged for Bao Xing to pick up Wang Ting and Huang Qianqian.
He himself stayed at the scene, ready to start the investigation.
At that moment, the deputy director of Zouma Town, Zheng Minying, had just received a call. She walked quickly to Han Bin. "Captain Han, sorry for not recognizing you. I didn't expect you to be the captain of the city's criminal investigation team at such a young age."
"Director Zheng, you're too kind. I used to be in the criminal investigation team of Yuhua Branch. We're not strangers."
Zheng Minying's tone was a little more friendly than before. "Yes, yes, if you have any arrangements, let us know. The Zouma Town Police Station will definitely cooperate."
Han Bin nodded and officially took over the scene …
