Chapter 324 is confusing!
Chapter 324 is confusing!
Jia Dongming originally thought that this was a case of child trafficking by a beggar, but after hearing what Xiaogang said, he instinctively overturned his idea.
After all, human traffickers choose their targets randomly, and it is impossible for them to specifically inquire about the specific situation of the child's family before carrying out the trafficking.
After this thought came to his mind, Jia Dongming instinctively attributed this case to a case of malicious kidnapping and revenge.
Jia Dongming reached out and touched Xiaogang's little head, then smiled and praised Xiaogang, "Xiaogang! You are so smart. You know you can't go anywhere else with strangers. This candy is a reward from your uncle."
Xiaogang felt particularly proud when he heard Jia Dongming's praise, but he did not reach out to take the candy that Jia Dongming handed to him. Instead, he glanced at Hong Feipeng who was standing next to him. After seeing the other party nod, he reached out to take the candy that Jia Dongming gave him and thanked him happily: "Thank you, uncle!"
After hearing Xiaogang's thanks, Jia Dongming asked the mother of the child who was sitting on the ground crying with a serious face: "Sister! Has your family had any conflicts with anyone recently? Or have you offended anyone?"
The mother of the child, who was crying her heart out, shook her head in confusion when she heard Jia Dongming's question and replied, "Chief Jia! My man is an honest and decent person. He never gets into trouble with others. How could he possibly offend anyone?"
"Chief Jia! Wang Jianshe is indeed an honest and decent man. He is very united with his neighbors in the yard and is willing to help those in need. It is impossible for him to offend anyone." An old man in the yard heard what Wang Jianshe's wife said and thought of Wang Jianshe's character, so he immediately stood up to testify for Wang Jianshe's wife.
Just as Jia Dongming was looking for the residents of Compound 83 to find out whether Wang Jianshe had any enemies, Wang Dapao led several police officers and hurried to the gate of Compound 83.
Wang Dapao saw Jia Dongming asking the residents about the situation and asked him seriously, "Dongming! How is it? Have you found out everything?"
When Jia Dongming heard Wang Dapao's question and thought of what he had just learned, he explained to Wang Dapao with a serious face: "Dapao! According to what I just learned, this should be an acquaintance, but so far, I am not sure, is this a beggar kidnapping the child? Or is it an acquaintance who deliberately kidnapped the child in order to avenge the child's parents?"
"What! An acquaintance committed the crime? How could it be an acquaintance committing the crime again?" When Wang Dapao heard the result given by Jia Dongming, an incredible expression appeared on his face and he blurted out to Jia Dongming.
When Jia Dongming heard what Wang Dapao said, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He asked Wang Dapao with a serious face: "Dapao! From what you said, has a similar case happened in your jurisdiction during this period of time?"
Wang Dapao nodded instinctively when he heard Jia Dongming's question and replied, "Dongming! This is the fifth similar case that has occurred in our Jiaodaokou Police Station in the past two months. The children who were abducted were all because the beggars knew their parents, so they easily believed what the beggars said and took the initiative to follow them."
Just now, because of what Xiaogang said, Jia Dongming overturned his initial judgment and believed that this was a deliberate kidnapping in revenge. Now, when he learned that this was the fifth case in Jiaodaokou Police Station in the past two months, Jia Dongming had to give up his previous judgment.
With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming immediately asked Wang Dapao, "Dapao! You just said that today's case is the fifth case in the past two months. So what was the fourth case before that? Can you tell me about it?"
If Jia Dongming was only the director of the security department of the steel mill, even if Wang Dapao and Jia Dongming were comrades, Wang Dapao would never tell Jia Dongming about the process of the case out of principle. Now Jia Dongming is not only the director of the security department of the steel mill, but also the deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment of the Dongcheng Branch and the captain of the serious crime detachment. Naturally, he has the power to inquire about the case. When Wang Dapao heard Jia Dongming's inquiry, he pulled Jia Dongming aside and carefully introduced the process of the other four cases to Jia Dongming.
After hearing what Wang Dapao said, Jia Dongming showed an incredible expression on his face. He asked Wang Dapao in confusion, "Dapao! Under normal circumstances, when a beggar commits a crime, he chooses his target when the opportunity arises. He would never go to such great lengths to arrange for someone to investigate the family background of the abducted child. This doesn't fit the characteristics of a beggar's crime at all, does it?"
Wang Dapao also agreed with Jia Dongming's analysis, but the facts were right in front of him and Wang Dapao couldn't understand why those beggars would arrange for someone to investigate the children's family background before taking action against them.
After hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, Wang Dapao said to him with a puzzled look on his face: "Dongming! If there were only one or two cases, we could classify them as retaliation. Now there have been five similar cases, and the parents of the first four abducted children did not even know each other. It is simply not feasible to classify these cases as retaliation and kidnapping of children."
After hearing Wang Dapao's analysis, Jia Dongming nodded in agreement and replied seriously, "Dapao! I know this idea won't work, but with the way the beggars commit crimes, even if they scout the area in advance, there is absolutely no need to risk being exposed by investigating the target's family situation."
When Wang Dapao heard what Jia Dongming said, he thought of the results of his investigation during this period and replied with a frown, "Dongming! After the first four cases occurred, I specially arranged for people to visit the crime scene. According to the people nearby, they did not find any suspicious people during this period. But how did these beggars know the family information of the kidnapped children?"
When Jia Dongming came to this point, he thought of the age of the kidnapped child and said to Wang Dapao with a serious face: "Dapao! Regardless of these cases, whether it was a beggar who kidnapped the child or abducted the child for revenge, it is obviously impossible for a child of this age to be taken away in public."
"The only thing we can do now is to send people to investigate the surrounding area, especially the area near the supply and marketing cooperative, to see if there were any suspicious people around between the time the child left and the time the father discovered the child was missing."
"For example, someone passed by here with a sick child in their arms? Or someone passed by here on a bicycle with a large basket tied to the back? Or maybe there was a vehicle like a cart or a carriage that could hide the child's whereabouts."
When Wang Dapao heard the direction of the investigation given by Jia Dongming, he generally agreed with Jia Dongming's investigation plan. However, thinking about the manpower problem of their police station, Wang Dapao said to Jia Dongming with a serious face: "Dongming! Now we only have these people in Jiaodaokou Police Station. It is obviously impossible to complete this investigation in the shortest time."
When Jia Dongming heard what Wang Dapao said and saw the solemn expression on his face, he said to Wang Dapao, "Dapao! The father of the abducted child is a worker in our steel mill. Before I came here, I had already arranged for someone to go to the security department of the factory to transfer someone. Once my people arrive, we will start a visit to this area."
"In addition, the four cases you mentioned earlier will be combined with the case that happened today and handed over to the branch's serious crime squad for investigation. You will send the case files to the branch tomorrow morning."
Jia Dongming was the deputy chief of the criminal investigation detachment of the branch, and had the power to command the police stations in the area. When Wang Dapao heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he immediately replied, "Okay! Dongming! Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone sort out the files and send them to the branch's serious crime detachment for you."
"Report to the director, the third battalion, the second squad has been ordered to report in!" Soon, the security guards of the steel rolling mill security department, led by Liu Guangtian, rushed to the gate of Compound 83. When the team leader Chen Qiang saw Jia Dongming, he immediately ran to Jia Dongming and reported to him.
When Jia Dongming saw Chen Qiang leading a dozen team members, he first returned a salute to Chen Qiang, then gave Chen Qiang and others a brief introduction of what happened in the case. Finally, he told Chen Qiang and others his idea and asked Chen Qiang and others to separate and visit and investigate the nearby area.
