Chapter 333: Crime Scene Investigation
It took more than an hour to drive from the compound of the law enforcement department to the location given by the other party, and the journey almost crossed most of the city, and the car drove away from the city until the silhouette of the high-rise buildings disappeared at the end of their sight, and the loess on both sides of the road became the main theme, and the driver stopped on the side of the road.
"That's it, the town is right in front of you, just walk over there yourself."
The driver was reluctant to drive any further.
He was picked up from the gate of the compound of the law enforcement department, and in front of him was the base camp of the gang members of the 17th District at the moment, and the high-intensity law enforcement efforts forced these criminals to stay away from the city and hide here.
He didn't know what the four enforcers were here for, he just knew that he couldn't let those people see that he had sent the enforcers in.
"Okay."
Valen understood the driver's difficulties, didn't bother much, paid the money and got out of the car.
A small town occupied by gang members is the most suitable place for law enforcement as a team building location, only the worried Song Lan asked, "Does this place look a little unsafe?" ”
Within a few steps, they came across a pickup truck driving into town.
The pickup truck was modified, several people in the car were masked, and there was a heavy machine gun in the back.
If you think about it with your toes, you can know that the rest of this town are some extremely vicious people, the kind who will draw guns and fight if they don't agree with each other, and the oppressive atmosphere is almost the same as that of the old town of the Fourth Neutral Country.
Perhaps for all the cities, bringing all the outlaws together will eventually lead to the same situation.
Song Lan was in a heavy mood at the moment.
Today is a good day that has not been seen in a long time, and such a good day should be used to enjoy life while lying on a chair in the office.
"Don't be afraid, they're all paper tigers."
Zhuang Chi whispered, "Don't look at their guns, in fact, they don't dare to commit any crimes recently." ”
When she went to the information department, she saw the recent statistics of the 17th district, and most of the people who dared to defy the wind at this juncture were some stunned young people who had never even heard of their names, but these gang members were all confined to their respective territories and did not dare to go out.
"The fraudster cleverly took advantage of people's fear of gangsters by choosing a location for the meeting, and those who paid the dues might be deterred when they saw the town's stance."
Except for Song Lan, the other three were very interested in it.
They quickly found the location mentioned by the other party in the phone, not surprisingly, he himself was not here, they were greeted by an old house that had long been uninhabitable, and the musty smell that came from the door opened the door made Roger cough several times, and the house was so destitute that even the gang members disdained to requisition it.
In a rather hidden corner, several people find the puzzle left by Chen, which will lead them to the next location.
It may be a brain-burning process for ordinary people, but for someone like Valen, who has been in the crime analysis department for several years, the puzzles are too pediatric, and it guides the four of them around the town, almost all the locations where the gang members are entrenched, and finally leads them to an old office building.
In the days when the 17th arrondissement was first established, this office building had a glorious history, and it was a capital to brag about to be able to work in this building, but with the arrival of the gold rush, large families and companies have poured into the border cities, and people have flocked to the current urban areas, and there are fewer and fewer people in the towns, and the office buildings are gradually abandoned.
"It's like a haunted house at night, and it's a good place for secret gatherings."
Zhuang Chi stared at the building for a while, and gave a professional evaluation of this abandoned building.
There are signs that people have lived inside, and some simple daily necessities have been left in each room, but for some reason, the corridor is empty at the moment.
They followed the last clue all the way to the top of the building.
That's where the manager of this office building used to be, and because of this, he went to the peak of his life, and was also hit into a trough by the trend of the times.
The grand office was vaguely recognizable, and at the end of the faded carpet was a sofa on which a man sit.
He seemed to be watching intently on television, which was playing a period drama, the favorite program of the old people in their sixties and seventies who had retired and had nothing to do, but judging by the man's jet-black and shiny hair, he was far from the age of retirement.
"Mr. Chen?"
Valen, who had been in contact with him in the text message, took a few steps forward and called out tentatively.
As soon as she took a few steps, she smelled the smell of hairspray, and it was not difficult to tell from the clothes on the other party's body that he seemed to have dressed up carefully for today's meeting.
For him, perhaps this is the day leading to a better future.
The man sitting on the couch did not respond to them.
Soon, they realized the oddity of the room — it was so quiet that the only characters on the TV were chattering and talking.
After setting up such a tedious puzzle, the other party should have greeted them in a much more enthusiastic way.
Suddenly Valen realized something, and she walked quickly to the man.
Even so, the man didn't react, he stared at the TV screen without squinting, and it didn't seem to be aware of the arrival of Valen and the others, and he didn't seem to be aware of the fact that he was dead.
The phone on the coffee table kept flashing.
There were constant inquiries about the Void Cult, and the last one read was an hour ago, when he agreed to the "group buy" plan and informed the four of them where they would meet.
"Contact the Bureau, the man is dead."
Valen gave a brief examination of the body, "There were no external injuries, no signs of poisoning, and there was no sign of a fight at the scene, the man died very peacefully." ”
She felt that the corpse must be hiding some secret that they did not know, because even if it was a sudden death, the deceased often went through a painful struggle before dying, and when their bodies were found, they were often curled up on the ground, some would cover their hearts, and some would scratch their skin because of excessive pain.
But this specific corpse is not, he is still immersed in the TV series, as if he has been skipped the process of painful struggle and directly reached the result of death.
From the point of view of the Crime Analysis Section, all indications at the scene indicated that the person had died accidentally.
But the fraudster, who was still in contact with them an hour ago, full of ambition, hoping to defraud a lot of money through this topic to bring himself to the peak of his life, suddenly died in this room so silently.
Chief Snake once said that most of the coincidences were just that they had not yet understood the connection behind them, and Valen had always taken the old chief's teachings to heart.
"Someone must have been here before us, just in the middle of this hour!"
