I am a super cop

Chapter 1428 A Thrilling Night

Although some areas of the Jinma Furniture City were completely burned, the monitoring room was well preserved.

On the one hand, the smoke detector plays a protective role, and on the other hand, because the monitoring room is located at the edge of the building, it is far away from the fire point.

When Lao Ma led Gu Chen and the others into the monitoring room, a middle-aged man turned blue with fright.

Seeing everyone, I seem to understand everyone's intentions.

"Are you the property owner here?" Gu Chen asked him.

The middle-aged man said weakly: "I... I am just a part-time worker."

"Is there no one on duty in the Furniture Plaza last night?" Lu Weiwei also asked.

The middle-aged man nodded silently, and said honestly: "This old market, there is no one on duty these few nights, because it is under renovation, and the monitoring system has been dismantled, so the monitoring room is just a decoration."

"Then there are still some surveillance cameras left? Can you find the records here?" Lu Weiwei had checked some of the camera installations before and found signs of malicious sabotage.

Of course, the destruction mentioned here is still different from active demolition.

The former is directly damaged, and the latter can be reinstalled.

When asked by Lu Weiwei, the middle-aged man also took the initiative to explain: "The rest of the monitoring here can work, but the fire last night caused a power outage in the shopping mall. I don't know if these monitoring materials are useful now."

"Senior Brother Gu." As soon as the middle-aged man here finished speaking, Yuan Shasha over there checked the monitoring device and reported to Gu Chen: "The monitoring devices are all good, and there is no sign of damage."

"It's just that it's powered off now and can't be used."

"It doesn't matter, there is a mini diesel generator behind our fire command vehicle, which can provide power support."

Lao Ma suddenly remembered the device behind the car, and hurriedly told everyone.

Officer Wang slapped his hands and said, "Great, quickly ask your people to bring the diesel generator over."

"Wait a moment." Lao Ma took out his mobile phone and started making calls.

Not long after, two firefighters staying on the fire command vehicle instantly lifted a small diesel generator to the designated location.

After careful operation, all the power supplies connected to the monitoring room were quickly activated.

In the monitoring room, many screens were turned on one after another.

Except for a small number of previously damaged screens, the other screens are almost in a black state.

This tells everyone that, as of now, all monitoring is not available.

But fortunately, the middle-aged man discovered that some of the surveillance images taken before were still preserved.

However, due to the limited surveillance materials and the aging of some equipment, Gu Chen decided to copy all the video materials and bring them back to the Furong branch for further research.

You must know that it is obviously difficult to capture the images by relying solely on the monitoring images of the Golden Horse Furniture City.

If it is arson, in addition to the monitoring screens inside and outside the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza, auxiliary monitoring of some surrounding roads is also required.

Only in this way can a powerful monitoring network be formed and play a good role in restoring the situation on site.

With the copied materials, everyone took photos of the scene environment to collect evidence, and then hurried back to the Furong Branch.

……

……

At this moment, the control room of the Furong sub-bureau.

After He Junchao got the copied materials, he also started to investigate immediately.

Retrieve part of the surveillance footage from the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza last night.

Combined with the monitoring network of the surrounding roads, He Junchao directly screened nearly 200 hours of video material.

Seeing so many surveillance materials for a long time, He Junchao complained: "These materials are too scattered and take a long time."

"I'm putting all these video materials on the big screen now. Each of you is responsible for watching a part and helping to screen them together."

"No problem." Lu Weiwei readily agreed, and also urged: "You upload the video material now."

"Crackling..."

He Junchao dexterously used his fingers to knock out beautiful movements on the keyboard.

Not long after, dozens of video clips, large and small, appeared on the screen.

Everyone quickly began to investigate.

Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, and He Junchao were in charge of the left and central areas, while the three police officers on duty in the monitoring room were in charge of the right area.

Gu Chen stood behind the crowd, crossed his arms and stared at the screen, ready to take over the situation.

The time numbers in the video screen are constantly moving, and Gu Chen's eyes keep scanning.

Various surveillance images flashed through Gu Chen's mind.

After a long time, [-] hours of video material has been reviewed by everyone.

Gu Chen directly reminded: "Who is in charge of screen 23?"

"Me!" said a tall, thin trainee.

"Didn't you see that someone appeared on the screen just now?" Gu Chen said.

"Yes...is there?" The trainee policeman was stunned, and quickly turned on the screen No. 23 to re-watch the mode again.

Gu Chen reminded: "The time is 3:25:43 in the morning, a black figure appeared, it is a wide-angle lens."

The tall and thin trainee police did not dare to neglect, and quickly started to operate.

Because one person was responsible for watching multiple screens just now.

And in order to win the speed, the scene in the screen is also constantly accelerating.

In addition, the time is at night, and all kinds of pictures are pitch black, giving people a kind of visual difficulty.

However, when the trainee police rewinded the monitoring screen to the time frame Gu Chen mentioned, at 3:25:43 in the morning, a black shadow really appeared in the video screen.

"Is there really someone?" Lu Weiwei screamed, squinted her eyes, and said, "That person seems to have broken the electric meter box."

"He broke the meter box from the very beginning. It seems that this guy is an expert." Seeing this, Police Officer Wang had reason to believe that the other party was a repeat offender.

At the very least, it is very clear that if you want to enter the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza, you first need to cut off the power of the surveillance.

Obviously, this man is thoughtful.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and said, "The location of the electric meter box is likely to be the path for the criminal suspect to enter the mall."

"And the peripheral power supply was unplugged by this suspect."

"Gu Chen." Police Officer Wang was a little guilty: "Since the peripheral power supply has been disconnected and the internal monitoring system has been dismantled, how can we find this person?"

"Surveillance screen on the 25th, 3:32 in the morning." Gu Chen said.

Police officer Wang didn't react, and he was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly said: "Then what, He Junchao, hurry up."

"Understood." He Junchao operated for a while, and the monitoring screen on the 25th soon came to 3:32 in the morning.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared on a wide-angle surveillance screen.

Lu Weiwei pointed at the screen and said pleasantly: "This is the internal picture of the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza. How is this possible? Haven't all the surveillance systems been removed? The remaining surveillance cameras have also been damaged. ah."

"That's right, but I found that the camera is not powered off, maybe it's connected to another line." Gu Chen put his hands behind his back, took two steps closer, and said:
"And it's precisely this camera. I thought at the time that the suspect couldn't be photographed from this angle, but after I looked at it just now, I found that this is a wide-angle camera, which happened to capture the suspect."

"And you see, from the position in front, the other party cut the door chain lock, and then entered the scene from the other end."

"Haha." Seeing this scene, Lu Weiwei couldn't help laughing and said, "This criminal suspect has tried his best, but what this guy didn't expect is that the camera in the parking lot uses another power supply. line."

"And this camera also captured the whole process of this guy entering the mall." Officer Wang also smiled.

At the very least, everyone found an important clue after checking [-] hours of surveillance material.

"Then what is he doing now?" Yuan Shasha narrowed her eyes and asked.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and walked two steps forward: "Because the outer door is locked with this chain lock, and the store staff locked it with the chain lock after get off work."

"And this guy should be cutting the chain lock with tool scissors now."

Taking a closer look, Lu Weiwei confirmed again: "Yes, I used pipe cutters to cut this chain lock, but..."

Due to the dim environment, the picture was very unclear. While Lu Weiwei was excited, she felt guilty: "But I can't see this guy's physical features clearly."

"Damn it." Officer Wang slammed his right fist on his left palm, and said with a frustrated expression, "This is a surveillance video that was finally taken, but it's so dark that I can't see the person coming."

"What we see now is the front." Gu Chen was not as impatient as everyone else, but remained calm enough, and continued: "And he is still wearing a mask."

"Is this a woman? Such long curly hair?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but look at the other person's appearance.

But Gu Chen shook his head and reminded: "This...maybe it's a wig, it's not in the right place, is it too low?"

"Wait, let me take a look first." After being reminded by Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei walked a few more steps and reminded the tall and thin trainee police: "Then what, put this picture on the main screen and zoom it in."

"Okay." The tall and thin trainee police officer obeyed, and quickly put the monitoring screen on the main screen.

At this moment, the picture became more blurred.

But fortunately, the overall picture allows everyone to see the situation more intuitively.

"It seems to be wearing a wig, or a long wig. Normal people don't have such a low hairline. This guy may be wearing it too low."

"Then you can't tell whether this guy is a man or a woman?" The tall and thin trainee policeman was a little guilty.

But He Junchao, the tool man, smiled and said: "Of course you can't see it, after all, they are disguised."

"But I can tell you that this guy is wearing a wig for real, and with his figure, I dare say that this is not a woman, maybe it's a man pretending to be."

"That's right. After all, wearing such a loose tracksuit, you won't be able to tell even if you're pregnant." Lu Weiwei agreed with He Junchao's remarks.

But He Junchao is a good player in monitoring and technical investigation.

All kinds of professional judgments must be better than my own.

He Junchao concluded that he was wearing a wig, so it was probably the same.

But now this situation is very clear to everyone.

If the suspect is a woman, it may be a woman with short hair.

But at present, everyone thinks that the suspect is more likely to be a man.

Seeing that everyone was still anxious about whether the other party was a man or a woman, Gu Chen hurriedly reminded: "Everyone, stop arguing and continue watching the surveillance."

After the voice fell, the quarrel suddenly stopped, and everyone focused on the monitoring screen again.

At this moment, from the pictures recorded by the store's camera, everyone can clearly see that the suspect found some flammable items after entering the store.

Subsequently, the suspect immediately lit it with a lighter.

In this way, Gu Chen could see through the monitoring screen that the suspect stayed in the mall for about 20 minutes.

During the period, the suspect set fire to 5 locations in 9 shops.

These are the results that Gu Chen got from the old horse of the fire brigade.

"Come out." Seeing the other party appearing on the screen of leaving the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza, He Junchao hurriedly reminded: "This is the guy who cut the chain lock with tool pliers, and then entered the mall to set fire on purpose."

"You can also see in the screen that this guy took the initiative to find some flammable items, then lit the fire source skillfully, and started to ignite the flammable items in the store together."

"Senior Brother He, switch to the next screen." Gu Chen reminded.

He Junchao nodded silently, and said, "I understand. After he set the fire, he must have left from the electric box. That scene can be captured by a roadside surveillance outside."

While speaking, He Junchao operated the computer, quickly recalled the monitoring screen that Gu Chen wanted, and put it on the main screen again.

At this moment, the criminal suspect in the screen really escaped from the meter box.

Because it is a surveillance camera far away from the roadside, the people in the picture that can be captured are also very small.

Only a tiny picture in the upper left corner can be seen. After setting the fire and coming out, the suspect quickly took off his sports coat and wig. "

"Take a look." Lu Weiwei pointed to the main screen, and hurriedly reminded: "This guy... really took off his wig."

"Then roll up the wig in the clothes and put it under the armpit. He should be a... I find that from now on, he should be a man."

"Yes, after changing his clothes, he put his things between his hands and started to walk. It seems that the sky is already slightly bright at this time." Yuan Shasha also added.

Gu Chen crossed his arms, walked back and forth twice while looking at the screen, and said, "The last place where he disappeared was the alley at the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza. Brother He, can the surveillance screen catch it?"

"I'm sorry." He Junchao shook his head and said with a frustrated expression, "The area over there also belongs to the peripheral monitoring range of the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza."

"But you also know that the monitoring system of Jinma Furniture Square has been dismantled at this time, and all the pictures in the alley here are completely invisible."

"Then what should we do?" Seeing everyone's anxious faces, another strong trainee policeman also asked anxiously.

Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there is definitely no way to hunt down this guy from this alley."

"After all, he also knows that all the monitoring in this alley has been demolished at the moment."

"The only thing to do now is to continue to watch the monitoring later." Turning his head and glancing at He Junchao, Gu Chen reminded again: "Senior Brother He, speed up the progress of this monitoring screen."

"No problem." He Junchao nodded slightly, and did as he was told.

The scene picture accelerated the progress again.

Not long after, some residents in pajamas came nearby.

Not long after, the first fire truck arrived.

Soon after, the firefighters started a rescue plan after studying the fire on the spot.

At the same time, more firefighting vehicles also arrived one after another.

All of a sudden, various water jets sprayed towards the fire point of Jinma Furniture Plaza.

Many residents began to watch.

Not long after, the police officers who were on duty at night nearby also arrived one after another.

Then, under the leadership of the fire brigade commander Lao Ma, the police on duty began to evacuate the crowd.

Although the scene was chaotic, everyone remained calm enough.

With the close cooperation of the police and firefighters, everyone focused on going to the residential buildings above the Golden Horse Furniture Plaza, almost door-to-door reminders.

Many sleeping residents even ran out naked wearing shorts and shorts.

The older ones are recited by the police and firefighters.

In a short period of time, hundreds of people were evacuated in an emergency, and the fire fighting work of the fire brigade was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

After about 2 hours, everything returned to calm.

Throughout the picture, thick smoke filled the air, and crowds gathered around. Fortunately, the police officers on duty and the fire brigade commanders and fighters controlled the scene properly, and there were no accidents at the scene.

The ambulance was just standing by.

"Huh!" Seeing the thrilling scene last night, Lu Weiwei also let out a long sigh of relief: "It's good that the fire is under control, otherwise the fire would spread and burn to the residential buildings above, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

"This is too scary." Yuan Shasha was also very nervous, and said involuntarily: "In one night, with so few people, so many people were evacuated and the fire was put out. These firefighters and policemen on duty are really amazing. Good job."

"Harmful." Officer Wang patted his chest, and said after a while of fear: "I didn't expect such a serious arson accident to happen last night."

"In my opinion, this criminal suspect is like a pig and a dog. Is this a joke with hundreds of lives?"

"What the hell is this guy trying to do?" The third-level superintendent on duty in the dispatch room said angrily, "Is this revenge on society?"

"One person, one night, with tool pliers, broke open the door of the furniture mall, and then directly set fire to the mall, or 9 locations."

"This guy is crazy. He wants to burn down the entire Golden Horse Furniture Plaza."

After a pause, the third-level police superintendent couldn't believe it: "But he wants to burn the Golden Horse Furniture Square, what does it have to do with the hundreds of ordinary people living there? If he didn't find out in time, then he was killing people recklessly."
