Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 493 Discovering the Map
As the group moved forward, a young investigator asked, "Captain Zhao, they're not going to use us as shields, are they?"

Another person said, "Team Leader Yu looks so young, can we trust what he says? Let's hope we don't walk in and find a bunch of people practicing shooting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group suddenly stopped.

Team Leader Zhao slapped him across the face and yelled, "They have dozens of K members on their hands, and they still have time to fool us? You all better keep your eyes peeled and don't miss any clues! If we end up having them clean up our mess, that would be a real laughing stock!"

After thinking for a moment, in order to ensure that his subordinates would cooperate better with the Special Investigation Team's work later, Team Leader Zhao revealed a secret that wasn't classified: "Do you know how much those extreme criminal organizations outside are offering for Team Leader Yu's life?"

Team Leader Zhao held up one finger: "One million dollars!"

滋.
That guy had an innocent-looking smile, but he was actually so ruthless behind the scenes that even the already cruel K elements hated him to the core.

Everyone gasped, a chill running down their spines.

The group arrived at the courtyard surrounded by several mud houses. Zhao, the team leader, took the lead and kicked the wooden door open with a loud bang.

Upon entering the courtyard, the first thing that catches the eye is the sheep pen on the west side of the courtyard, where about a dozen goats are looking at the group of people who suddenly appeared with fear.

The mud houses, with their doors tightly shut, were deathly silent.

Nobody knows what's going on inside.

Although Captain Zhao had previously insisted on believing Yu Maiken's deduction in front of everyone, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't skeptical when he actually arrived at the scene.

After all, the two round shooting targets were standing right next to him, and he could see them clearly right now.

The people who were previously in this courtyard.
The criminal investigation team officers stopped simultaneously.

Team Leader Zhao clearly felt his men's eyes all fixed on his back. What was that word again?

Like a thorn in your back.

So vivid.

He swallowed hard, steeled himself, and walked over to open a door.

no one.

Captain Zhao let out a sigh of relief, turned his back to the crowd, and waved his hand, finally regaining some confidence: "Search!"

The police officers in the courtyard immediately dispersed, and work officially began.

Soon after, they found a flag, some meeting minutes, and study notebooks. These were all physical evidence against K, and they would be needed for future procedures.

In the cellar on the west side of the yard, a pile of used transparent tape was found. Although fingerprints have not yet been extracted, Captain Zhao determined that this was the tape used to bind the hostage in the kidnapping case.

After not sleeping for three days and three nights, Captain Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. With these things in hand, he could explain things to his superior, Director Liu.

As his spirits relaxed, Captain Zhao became somewhat sleepy. He was thinking of preparing to arrange police forces to cordon off the scene and then leave according to the procedures of the criminal investigation team. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and remembered Yu Maike's earlier suggestion of waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump. So he went back to the temporary rest point of the team outside and found Yu Maike.

At that moment, Yu Maiken was leaning against a tree, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, smiling as he opened and closed his pocket watch.

As Zhao, who was coming from behind, inadvertently noticed the photo inside the pocket watch: "Your daughter?"

Yu Maiken closed his pocket watch, smiled, and nodded: "My daughter."

Subsequently, Zhao shared his thoughts on the case with Yu Maiken.

Yu Maiken nodded in agreement, but said that since the Special Investigation Team was to be on guard, he had to go to the scene to take a look.

The two returned to the courtyard. Yu Maiken walked around the courtyard twice, then went back to the main house to look through the evidence collected by the police. Suddenly, his expression changed.

He pointed to some dirty, tangled wires and batteries on the ground and said, "This group is definitely going to start a fire this time. Captain Zhao, we need to take the initiative."

When Captain Zhao heard the word "explosion," he was first startled. Then, looking at the junk he had almost thrown away as trash, he felt a chill run down his spine. He was then relieved that he was accompanied by Yu Maiken, who had extensive experience in counter-attacks.

Team Leader Zhao slapped his thigh hard: "Okay! I'll do as you say!"

He's determined to latch onto this powerful figure.

Speaking of thighs, he suddenly remembered the group of teachers who came from Donghai for research some time ago, and wondered where they were now.

If he were still in Keshi City, he might have been willing to shamelessly pay a visit. Face is nothing. Solving the case is the most important thing. Captain Zhao, seeing Yu Maiken squatting on the ground diligently rummaging through a pile of "trash," quickly rushed over to help him earnestly, thinking this in an instant.

Yu Maiken reviewed the items the police had found and clapped his hands, laughing, "Although we don't yet know where their target is, I can guess where they'll eventually escape to."

"Captain Yu, tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense."

Team Leader Zhao, who had been following Yu Maiken around investigating the scene, perked up. Although he hadn't found any clues from beginning to end, it didn't stop him from enjoying the thrill of deduction.

Team Leader Zhao is a very studious classmate.

Since successfully solving the case by retrieving the notebook from Tursunjan last time, he has developed the good habit of taking notes wherever he goes.

Seeing that Yu Maiken was starting to analyze the case, Captain Zhao immediately took out paper and pen from his pocket and began to take notes seriously.

Yu Maiken pointed to the sheep offal he had found in the kitchen trash can and smiled slightly: "There are live sheep outside but they didn't take them with them. There's fresh offal in the kitchen trash can. It looks like they slaughtered a few sheep, cleaned them, and then took them away."

"We can roughly determine when they left and the area they could have affected based on the degree of decay in the sewage."

"Hmm." Captain Zhao scribbled furiously, seemingly having thought of something, but in reality, he still didn't understand anything.

Yu Maiken analyzed: "If you want to escape to a city with abundant resources, there is no need to prepare food. You only need to prepare in advance if you plan to escape to the Gobi Desert or the desert."

"The temperature difference between day and night is huge now. The temperature will definitely drop below zero at night. If it were a desert, mutton would not be able to be preserved. So the final evacuation direction will definitely be the Gobi Desert where ice will be stored, which is the northwest direction."

“The Gobi Desert is vast; I’m afraid we won’t be able to find it,” Zhao thought, biting his pen cap.

Yu Maiken stood up, dusted off his trousers, and smiled subtly: "We can only wait until they commit the crime and then judge based on the geographical conditions around the scene."

"Captain Zhao! We have a lead!" A detective from the Criminal Investigation Division rushed into the room carrying a trash can.

"What clue!" Zhao's eyes lit up.

"We found a map in the trash can! Judging from a few fragments, there are handwritten notes on it!" The investigator said excitedly, holding the trash can as if it were a precious treasure.

There is a play!

Team Leader Zhao and Yu Maiken exchanged a glance, both reading the same meaning in each other's eyes.

Team Leader Zhao returned to the unit with the trash can and called Tursunjiang to go to a nearby stationery store to buy a new map of the same size. The two stayed up all night to piece together the fragments by referring to the newly bought map.

Next, I found two pieces of glass that were not too small, sandwiched the original map together, one above the other, and then secured it with tape around the edges.

"Team Leader Zhao! This group is going to cause trouble in the bird market!" Tursunjan shouted, pointing to the bird market location on the map, which had been changed to a large circle.

"Hmm! Looks like this is it!"

Team Leader Zhao glanced at the other marked locations on the map, and without exception, they were all eventually crossed out, leaving only Bird Market.

"Shall we submit the report tomorrow morning?"

"When did they do it, and how did they do it? Have you found any clues? Or are you asking your superiors to find clues for you?" Captain Zhao glared at Tursunjiang.

"What should we do then?" Tursunjan asked, feeling a bit aggrieved. He had finally managed to stay up all night and produce some results, so he naturally wanted to show them to his superiors as soon as possible.

At this moment, Captain Zhao received a WeChat message from Yu Maiken of the Special Investigation Team, saying that the action report for the past few days had been sent to Captain Zhao's email address and asking him to check it.

As the printer slowly spit out A4 paper with a hissing sound, Team Leader Zhao had a sudden inspiration and quickly opened the file folder, laying out the newly collected materials from the past few days one by one on the table.

"Team Leader Zhao, what's going on?" Tursunjan asked, puzzled.

"Why not latch onto a powerful figure? With so many clues, Officer Chen and his team should be able to find something." Captain Zhao nonchalantly pulled out his phone and started taking pictures and scanning.

"You want to send a WeChat message? According to the regulations on classified information, that's not allowed!"

"Who cares about me? You? Here, solving cases trumps everything! Stability trumps everything!"

As Zhao took photos, he hummed a song.

He truly believed he had solved the case.
