Chapter 333 Detention
According to the procedure, the police cordoned off the explosion site and searched for the parts of the box.The fragments were found through the previous video data and the scene. Three hours later, the technicians made a simulation map of the mercury bomb explosion.The outer shell is a toy box containing wooden three-dimensional puzzles.The core of the bomb is two points, one is the trigger method, and the other is the material.

According to the debris at the scene, it is preliminarily judged that the box has a remote control and balanced dual trigger mode.The materials used are homemade tube mines plus standard explosives, a cheap circuit board, a battery, and a flip phone.This bomb is not difficult for EOD personnel, as long as the circuit is cut off, the bomb can be dismantled.Generally speaking, it was made by a person with exquisite design, insufficient expertise, and familiarity with explosives.

This preliminary conclusion seems contradictory.The EOD supervisor further explained to the detectives: the exquisite design refers to the use of space in the box, and the design of the mercury organ, all of which indicate that the suspect has strong manual skills.The lack of professional knowledge means that the difficulty of disassembling the bomb is very low. In front of professionals, the beautiful mercury mechanism is just a decoration.The most fatal design flaw of this bomb is that there is no need to select the red and blue lines at all, and the bomb can be dismantled by directly cutting off the battery power line.

But the exquisite design makes up for the lack of professionalism to a certain extent. .During the on-site operation, the EOD operator was faced with a dilemma. He had to do fine manual operation, hooking up and cutting the bottom line from the explosive gap with a hook, and soon the EOD operator found that the wire had no extra length and no room for hooking up. The only way to do this is to reach in with pliers and cut the wires.There is a certain room for maneuver, but the EOD personnel must face a choice.If the EOD operator wears a bulky explosion-proof suit, it is difficult for him to perform micromanagement, as long as there is a slight shake, the mercury mechanism will be touched.If you don’t wear anti-explosion suits, tremble while holding the armor that exploded, or the EOD personnel operate a lot, both of them have to go to see God.No one in the EOD department has performed micro-operations with such a low error tolerance rate.

The reason why it is said that the suspect is familiar with explosives is because the suspect knows the principle of explosives and the way to trigger them.The EOD department believes that the suspect is a person who has normal contact with explosives, but has no normal contact with bombs on a daily basis.In terms of the strength of the EOD department, the bombs they made themselves are basically indestructible.Since more than ten years ago, countries such as the United States have given priority to detonating bombs when they deal with explosives. The whole bomb is sent to a safe place and then detonated. EOD personnel are not encouraged to dismantle bombs on the spot unless it is related to hostages. security or other reasons.

The EOD director introduced: "Single circuit, no trap, just like connecting a wire directly from the power supply to the light bulb, as long as the wire is cut, the light bulb will definitely not light up. We don't know the other party's intentions, so we can't figure out the other party's thoughts. Double trigger The method shows that he can do better, but the design of the bomb is very simple. We have retrieved the bombing crime data of the European Union and my country in the past 30 years, and there is no bomb similar to this bomb. Therefore, there is There are reasons to suspect that the suspect is a first-time offender."

There are many classifications in the criminal investigation department, such as arson, poisoning, theft, murder and other classification departments.When an important case occurs, the frontline police department will dispatch the case according to the specific conditions of the three major criminal investigation areas, not limited to the division of jurisdiction.The three major criminal investigation districts in London, the Southern District Criminal Investigation Department often deals with gang crimes and kidnapping cases.The Criminal Investigation Department of the North District has more experience in investigating chemical crimes such as arson and poisoning.The Criminal Investigation Department of the Central District is responsible for serial murders and bombings.

The person in charge of this case is a woman named Betty, about 30 years old, and she is the team leader of the special case group of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Central District.Her short hairsprayed hair gives her a very sophisticated look.Betty walked up to the projection cloth: "Hi everyone, I'm Betty. First of all, I would like to introduce this meeting, which is also the first time I've heard of the civilian who participated in the case meeting, Mr. Liang Xiliang."

Everyone looked over, Liang Xi raised his hand and forced a smile.

Betty said: "Mr. Liang is a detective. Mr. Detective brought us a map, which he claimed was given to him by the suspect. Look at the screen, it is a paper administrative map of Greater London that was officially released half a year ago. We went to the city hall to get a copy of the same map for scanning and comparison, and found no difference as Mr. Detective said. Except for the three numbers 27, 13 and 35 on it. Mr. Detective thought it was 27:13 on the 35th. Today It's the 30th, and according to Mr. Detective's theory, there will be a new bombing on the 27th of next month."

Liang Xi interjected: "Sorry, I mean the three numbers are 27:13 on the 35th, and I didn't say anything would happen."

Betty glanced at Liang Xi, ignored him and said, "In short, we have scanned and compared many times and found no difference between the two maps. Although the case happened in the Southern District, Mr. Downer handed over the case to The Central District is in charge. The brothers and Mr. Detective in the Southern District have had a hard day, and we will be in charge of the rest of the matter in the Central District. Two, your work is over. Thank you."

Baker glanced at Liang Xi and stood up. Liang Xi asked, "Since the map has nothing to do with the case, can you return it to me?"

Betty replied: "I'm afraid not. The technical department still needs to use various chemicals to conduct experiments. It cannot be ruled out that there are hidden clues hidden on the map."

Liang Xi said: "The map was given to me. The other party should know that I don't have any conditions for chemical testing. Even if you don't want to return it to me, please don't destroy the integrity of the map. I firmly believe that the suspect wants to pass information to me through the map."

Betty nodded: "We will fully consider your opinion, Mr. Detective."

Baker and Liang Xi left the building of the Criminal Investigation Department in the Central District. Baker complained first: "Stupid woman."

Liang Xi hurriedly corrected: "If you say that, people will misunderstand that you are biased against gender. You should treat them equally and say: silly X."

"Haha." Baker said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink."

Liang Xi looked at the time and said, "No, I have invited Fiona to dinner."

Baker asked: "Your map is gone."

Liang Xi said: "Didn't Betty scan the map? Fiona happens to be a hacker, so it's not too difficult to steal something from the central area."

The two got into the car, and Baker started the car and said, "To be honest, since Betty scanned the map and found no difference, Fiona can't find anything after scanning."

Liang Xi replied: "My intuition tells me that there must be information on the map. Today is just the beginning. Take me back to the detective agency to pick up the car first."

……

Dinnertime is the most relaxing time after a long day at work.In a French restaurant in London, eight gold-collar workers in suits are gathering. They are colleagues. Today is the 40 years old birthday of a female lawyer in the law firm.According to the arrangement of the boss of the law firm two days ago, the company prepared a birthday party for the female lawyer in the restaurant, and invited several colleagues who had a good relationship with the female lawyer to attend.

This female lawyer has a kind personality and is amiable, and everyone in the law firm likes her.Even colleagues who were unable to attend due to work and family reasons prepared a gift for the female lawyer.Several colleagues helped carry the gifts to the restaurant, and after the birthday candles were blown out, at someone's suggestion, they began to guess the gift.

The female lawyer picked up a packing box, shook it, listened, and said, "Snow Mountain Crystal from Finance Mimi." When she opened it, it was a Santa Claus ornament with a greeting card inside, and the giver was not free to attend. A lawyer at a birthday party.

The female lawyer regretfully picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp. Everyone clapped their hands: "Next."

The female lawyer picked up the ribbon-wrapped box, shook it, listened to it, and weighed it again: "A mobile phone?"

After all, the female lawyer opened the package, and a wooden box appeared, which was twice the size of an ordinary mobile phone box.The female lawyer looked at everyone and saw that everyone was very curious. She thought it was a gift from a colleague who did not attend the banquet, so the female lawyer held the wooden box with one hand, and pressed the left and right buttons on the box with the other hand. pop open.The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of mercury tubes on the left and right.

"What's this?" The female lawyer felt very interesting. She shook her hand, and the two mercury tubes tilted to the other side, and then no one followed.

It was a bomb, almost identical to the one during the day.The only difference is that there is no instruction on the back of the box in the lawyer's hand.The consequences were completely different. Eight people sat at the same table, three died and five were injured. Of the five injured, two died after being sent to the hospital.

Two and 10 minutes before the explosion, Fiona, who ate foie gras at a French restaurant, scanned the result. She got the original scanned image from the technician in the Central District, and then scanned the administrative map that she personally bought at the travel agency. Comparing and found a difference.Liang Xi's map has a location with a darker font, while the map Fiona bought has a lighter font.In a map, darker fonts indicate larger and more important areas.The location is a five-storey office building in the city of London, which is a commercial center. The building is called the Ice Building.Fiona inquired and learned that the first floor of Binghai Building is a supermarket, and the second floor is the office building of Binghai Law Firm.

Liang Xi dialed Betty's phone number: "Hi Miss Betty, I'm Liang Xi, I scanned the map and found that there is a problem with the Binghai Building."

Betty replied very politely: "Thank you for calling, we will conduct further verification on the information you provided." This attitude is already good, and it was the attitude that Betty corrected only after the department boss talked with Betty alone after the meeting.The head of the department told Betty that Liang Xi was the one Tang Na agreed to approve to participate in the meeting. No matter how unhappy you are, you can't be so rude to him.So after receiving Liang Xi's call, Betty answered Liang Xi very politely.

After hanging up the phone, Betty and the team continued to search for clues.According to the explanation of the EOD director, the Ministry of Internal Affairs once suspected that someone in the EOD department had stolen standard explosives, but there was no evidence to support this.Betty had just interviewed the warehouse management earlier, and the warehouse management confirmed that there were such rumors, and he himself thought that there might be problems.When answering Liang Xi's phone call, Betty and the team members were comprehensively analyzing the information of all members of the EOD department and determining the order of interviews.

Soon Betty arrived at the scene of the explosion, and after understanding the situation, she found that all the victims were employees of the Binghai Building Law Firm.Betty couldn't understand, it's impossible, her own people scanned the map several times, but didn't find any difference, Liang Xi didn't have a map but could scan the difference?
A team member reminded: "It is said that Liang Xi has some background as a magician."

This hint was very direct, and Betty asked back: "He directed and acted by himself?"

Team member: "Otherwise, how do you explain his prophecy?"

Betty thought for a while: "See how he explains this problem."

Liang Xi received a call from Betty and replied, "I'm picking up my girlfriend from get off work, and I'm not free now." He already knew about a bombing in a certain restaurant.

Betty said: "Mr. Liang, three people died."

Liang Xi replied: "I know, I'm not free right now, I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do."

Betty said: "Mr. Liang, I am very polite to ask you to go to the police station. If you refuse, we can only send someone to pick you up, and everyone will not look good at that time."

"Send someone to pick me up." Silly, Liang Xi made a phone call: "Sprinkle coins, borrow a lawyer."

Bobby: "Anything fun?"

Liang Xi: "Yes, it's fun. I'm going to be arrested soon, and I can't explain it." You can't betray Fiona, right?While Fiona was an official hacker, hacking into the Central Technology Department's computers was at least a violation.This is not why Liang Xi doesn't want to explain.As I said before, the best way to deal with long-term premeditated crimes is to disrupt the opponent's plan.Since the suspect involved himself in the matter, he would go to live in the police station for a few days to break the suspect's original plan.

As a detective, Liang Xi already knew the possibility that Betty suspected him and then detained him.Liang Xi knew the direction of the matter as soon as he turned his head.Liang Xi didn't mean to argue with Betty, he would not let himself be uneducated because of other people's impoliteness.Fighting against Betty, it seems that he is too small.

Considering the case itself, is this the last case?Impossible, once the case involves a law firm, the data will become very large.The first thing to do is to determine which lawyer the suspect targeted, and then to figure out whether the lawyer was attacked for professional or personal reasons.What made Liang Xi uneasy was that the suspects were not good men and women. The homeless man would kill him if he wanted to, and he didn't care. It might be because he didn't treat the homeless man as a normal person.Where's the lawyer? 3 dead and 5 injured, doesn't he care about killing innocent people by mistake?
While talking, Karin came out of the hospital, Liang Xi greeted her, hugged and kissed to explain the situation.The two sat down in the small park of the hospital, leaned together and had a little whisper.About 10 minutes later, two plainclothes came to the door and showed their IDs: "Liang Xi, please come with us." Judicial arrest requires a reason, but not evidence. The arrest arrest time limit is 24 hours. If the case is complicated, you can apply for an extension of the detention time. .

Liang Xi went quickly, and Karin took Liang Xi's car keys and shouted: "Honey, if you have nothing to do, stay a few more days, I like the heating in your apartment."

Liang Xi looked back and glared, and Karin blew a kiss: "I miss you." Karin had no idea about Liang Xi's detention, and the situation was under Liang Xi's prediction and control.

In order to be successfully detained, Liang Xi didn't know anything about Betty's questions, and only answered one sentence: "Talk to my lawyer if you have something to do."

According to Liang Xi's request, the Clement Group managed to find a stupid lawyer. With the help of the stupid lawyer, Liang Xi was successfully detained by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Central District in the suspect's detention room of the Criminal Investigation Department.An hour later, according to Liang Xi's arrangement, the reporter contacted by Karin called the Criminal Investigation Department and confirmed that the short-lived Internet celebrity Liang Xi was detained by the Central District Criminal Investigation Department as a suspect.Liang Xi didn't want his resources to put pressure on Betty, in fact, these resources were very smart, and they would not take care of Liang Xi's affairs unless Liang Xi asked.Liang Xi's purpose is to tell the suspect through the Internet: I have been arrested, and I can't get out for a few days, you can play your game yourself.
