As Xu Lin said, a task force was established that afternoon.
In the conference room of the Municipal Bureau, Director Zheng Guoxin took the lead, Deputy Director Huang Weihan was the first person in charge, and the person in charge of the operation was Chen Hua.
As for Xu Lin, he served as a consultant to a task force.
"consultant?"
After Xu Lin heard that he was a consultant, he immediately couldn't help but ask Zheng Guoxin: "Boss, what is my position as a consultant? Otherwise, forget it, I will not hold the position."
Zheng Guoxinyan couldn't help but glance at him and said: "My team leader, can you give some opportunities to young people? After all, they all come from the same team. Look at Xiao Chen, he is only in the second grade now. Superintendent, can't you help me?"
Xu Lin: "What does this have to do with support? I just want to say, is it okay to just help and not to be in the limelight?"
"I can tell, so I'll give you a position as a consultant. You only need to give them guidance later, and leave other matters to Chen Hua and the others." Zheng Guoxin said with a smile.
"You can have this."
Xu Lin smiled and nodded.
never mind.
Anyway, for meritorious service and so on, he has already obtained the medal of merit, so it doesn't matter if he has more or less.
If you can, please bring Chen Hua and the others.
Anyway, now he is alone, and the people from the special case team are still being tortured in the military camp, so he is happy to be at ease.
"Chen Hua, please report on your previous investigation." Huang Weihan said.
Chen Hua stood up, looked at everyone, and said: "We have conducted a thorough investigation of the city's pet hospitals and found no suspects. At the same time, we have also investigated some places in the suburbs that are dirty, or where there are many animals such as wild cats and dogs. Screening was conducted and no clues were found.”
"Also... we have also investigated pet owners in the city. There are a large number of pet owners, but not many. After investigating multiple dog farms and checking the video surveillance, we found nothing unusual. "...
Chen Hua talked eloquently and reported in detail all their work during the afternoon.
Nearly 200 people were dispatched to investigate with great fanfare, but so far, nothing has been found.
As for the investigation of the victim's identity, there is no clue.
Everyone feels a little helpless. The case is about to alert the provincial department, but they still have no clues about the murderer. It's a big headache!
Huang Weihan glanced at Xu Lin, who couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Now it's up to this person to find out the clues quickly.
Three lives is no small case, and the real culprit must be found as soon as possible.
After Chen Hua finished speaking, several captains of the criminal investigation detachment, as well as Huang Weihan and Zheng Guoxin, all turned their attention to Xu Lin, wanting to hear his thoughts.
Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Xu Lin did not give in, but said: "Now there is a situation. According to our investigation, it has been determined that the runes on those bones are not ancient runes or sacrificial symbols. The words were not carved by the murderer, but...a kind of trace left by man-eating ants."
"Now we are testing formic acid, and the results should be out soon. If it is really formic acid, our workload will be even greater."
"Secondly, regarding the identity of the victim, I plan to conduct a skull recovery while waiting for the report. The main purpose is to restore the victim's appearance and characteristics, and then issue a missing person notice."
"Another point is that the murderer is still at large and has even just committed a third case. We must find a way to prevent the murderer from continuing to commit crimes."
When his voice fell, everyone frowned, thinking in their hearts, and their faces were full of embarrassment.
How to stop the murderer from continuing to commit murder?
Is it possible to issue an announcement telling people not to go out or have contact with strangers?
But that’s not right. What if the murderer just picked acquaintances to kill?
It's not like they haven't seen those beasts that even kill their own family members if they don't like it.
In this case, is there any way to stop the murderer from continuing to kill?
Xu Lin smiled faintly, looked at everyone and said, "I know everyone is in trouble and thinking about how to stop the murderer. I just thought of a way, but maybe the investment will be larger."
As soon as his words came out, everyone in the entire task force raised their eyebrows slightly, a little impatient.
Xu Lin said: "How long has it been since our city carried out pest prevention?"
After the short sentence came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to their senses.
Pest prevention?
There are many types of pests, such as locusts and other pests that can cause devastating damage to crops, or...termite pests that can cause long-term damage to buildings.
Snapped!
Huang Weihan slammed the table and said to Xu Lin: "Good guy, this is killing two birds with one stone, wonderful! Wonderful!"
He was a little excited, and so were the others.
The reason why Xu Lin's method kills two birds with one stone is because they can not only use this opportunity to find the source of the man-eating ants, but also make the murderer avoid committing crimes blatantly.
More importantly, it can be used to investigate the murderer.
"Then what are you waiting for? Quickly notify the comrades of the Pest Control Department and ask them to help." Zheng Guoxin said.
Xu Lin: "Wait, you gather the good people first and wait for my arrangements. And... our people also need to be mixed in, preferably wearing fire brigade protective clothing. I suspect that the murderer may not be in the suburbs, but It's in an urban area and it could be dangerous."
"Tell me what you think. Why do you think the murderer is in the city?" Zheng Guoxin's expression condensed slightly.
As long as Xu Lin's opinions are expressed, everyone needs to take them seriously.
Xu Lin touched his nose and said: "As we all know, wild cats and dogs have their own activity areas. The bones they took out were not from the scene of the first crime, but from people." Abandoned on the road, they are then moved in all directions by wild cats and dogs.”
"So if it is feasible, investigate the surveillance video within a kilometer of the location where the skeleton was found, and you may be able to find something."
When this was said, even Xu Lin felt it was a bit impossible.
After all, there are at least hundreds of places where bones were found. Surveillance video with a radius of one kilometer, or a platoon investigation, even if the entire Jiangyun City police force is gathered here, there may not be any results.
"Headache!"
He shook his head. He didn't expect that being a consultant would be so difficult.
"Did you hear everyone? Take action!" Huang Weihan stood up, looked at the members of the task force present, and asked loudly.
"yes!"
More than a dozen members of the task force immediately stood up, each with a firm look on their face, picked up their belongings and walked outside.
When these people left, Xu Lin and Zheng Guoxin were the only two people left in the conference room.
The latter asked: "Xiao Xu, the golden time to solve a murder case is 72 hours. How sure are you?"
