Detective Files II

Chapter 302 Suspicious characters
"Then, did you find any suspicious people entering the station this afternoon?" Tian Mi asked the two security inspectors again.

The younger Xiaohang thought about it for a long time, and kept glanced at the older one as if asking for advice, and answered vaguely: "I don't remember this, after all, you have seen it yourself. How much passenger flow does we have here in a day? It would be great if we could concentrate on supervising the luggage security checks. There are too many passengers coming and going, and there is no way to pay attention to every one of them.”

In contrast, the older security inspector was not so tactful when he spoke. She directly lowered her face and asked Tian Mi unhappily: "Why do you have to think it is our responsibility? We are security inspectors. It’s already hard work, the higher-ups don’t pay attention to it, and the passengers don’t like it. Do you know how much impact your empty-hearted suspicion will have on us? What if the higher-ups really feel that we are dereliction of duty? How serious are the consequences? Have you thought about it?"

"I can understand your feelings, and I'm just doing my job..." Tian Mi didn't mean to be perfunctory, but she was empathetic. It's not that she couldn't understand the work pressure of the security inspector.

However, the other party didn't buy her understanding. The older security inspector waved his hand and interrupted her unfinished sentence: "Okay, don't talk to me about those scenes! You are doing your job , but your job is to smear our job with empty teeth?!"

"I didn't blackmail your job." Faced with the other party's aggressive attitude, Tian Mi also became a little angry, "If when we investigate the case, the people who are under investigation and assisting our work have the same attitude as you, then our work will be in danger. Really don't do it! Now that no one is questioning you, slandering you, and no one is targeting you, can you put away your professional self-esteem first?"

The policeman on duty at the passenger terminal couldn't stand it anymore, and said to the older security inspector, "Hey, I said Da Liu, you are wrong, now is not the time to be afraid of taking responsibility!"

His words really poked a hornet's nest. When the security inspector Liu heard it, he immediately changed his expression with a stern look, and kept his hands on his hips and the old policeman: "Who do you think is afraid of taking responsibility?! Who do you think is afraid of taking responsibility?" Responsibility?! Why blame us! Why do you say that we are responsible for this?! If you say that, then you are still in the station today! You are still a policeman! If something happens, you can’t run away!”

"If I can't run away, I won't run! If it's because of me, I will be brave and not afraid to take responsibility!" The old policeman couldn't help getting angry when she said this.

Tian Mi saw that this posture was about to quarrel, and quickly stood between the two of them, separating them.

She said to Liu: "Sister Liu, we have not said who is responsible for this incident. After all, the specific circumstances of the explosion are not very clear yet, but it is an indisputable fact that there were explosives in the car. The explosives It must have been brought on board by the passengers. For us, we don’t want to hold anyone accountable or condemn someone for dereliction of duty. What we have to do is to rule out every possibility and find out the truth of the matter! We ask you , not mistrust, but trust, I believe you can help us rule out a possibility and narrow the scope of the investigation!"

Da Liu still had resentment in his heart, but after hearing Tian Mi talk about such things, he was embarrassed to say anything more, and he didn't know if he was sincere or perfunctory and said to Tian Mi: "I didn't find anyone suspicious today. , at least I haven’t noticed such a person, if you don’t believe me, you can go to the surveillance room and watch the surveillance video yourself!”

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. If you think of anything, please contact us in time." Tian Mi was not satisfied with Da Liu's attitude, but it was useless to ask more questions when she knew that the other party was emotional. Meaningful, "Responsibility and irresponsibility aside, everyone is a woman, think about your dispatcher colleague just now, her husband is still in the hospital, life and death are uncertain, think about her, think about that car Let’s take into account the feelings of other passengers’ families.”

After finishing speaking, she nodded sternly to the two security inspectors and the police on duty at the passenger terminal, then turned and left.

Lu Xiangdong followed her without saying a word, looking at her expression from time to time.Tian Mi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and asked with a tigery face: "Why are you looking at me? I'm very upset right now, so don't provoke me by saying negative things."

Lu Xiangdong looked innocent: "I know, with your personality, it's strange that you're not angry now."

"Actually, it's not that I don't understand that Da Liu's mood. Humans have a feeling of self-preservation, but her attitude of 'I don't allow you to question what I do' is really irritating! I really understand No such glass-hearted person!" Tian Mi said angrily.

"That's because not everyone has your tough nerves and thick skin." Lu Xiangdong laughed at her deliberately.

Tian Mi rolled her eyes at him: "Except for you, there is no second person in the whole world who would agree with your statement."

"Will you bet?"

"I'm afraid you won't succeed! Let the horse come here! What's the bet?"

"I don't know, let's talk about it when I figure it out."

Tian Mi's attention was distracted a lot, and her bad mood calmed down a little bit. The two came to the monitoring room of the passenger terminal upstairs and found the on-duty person inside. staff member.

I don't know if it's because of personal reasons, or because they don't have any worries about taking responsibility, but the attitude of the staff in the monitoring room is quite cooperative. After hearing Tian Mi's explanation of her visit, they immediately actively obtained the surveillance video for her, and after seeking the consent of the leader Under the circumstances, Tian Mi is allowed to copy and back up the surveillance video of the day, so that it can be taken back to the Public Security Bureau for slow analysis.

From two or three o'clock in the afternoon until the monitoring of the bus departing, Tian Mi took a long time to finish reading it slowly. As Da Liu said before, the passenger flow is indeed very large. It is also difficult to pay attention to everyone.

Tian Mi discovered that the passengers who came to the passenger terminal had no personal belongings at all, and there were not many people who did not need to go through the security check. There were only a few relatives and friends who were sent to the station. The explanation obtained from the staff in the monitoring room was that passenger transportation In order to divert passengers at the terminus, all buses bound for counties and neighboring cities within the scope of C city have been arranged to go to another passenger station. The terminus is basically for medium and long-distance routes, and rarely Someone had no carry-on luggage.

From the videos alone, neither Tian Mi nor Lu Xiangdong could find any particularly valuable clues, because it was early summer, the weather was already hot, and the passengers at the station didn't wear many clothes, which made Tian Mi originally concerned about carrying The idea of ​​explosives to evade security was shaken.

"Can you also call out the surveillance at the entrance of the car?" Tian Mi asked.

The staff immediately started to tune out the video before the car's departure.

Due to the installation position of the camera, not all the long-distance buses that exploded can be seen in the field of vision, only the side of the door of the bus can be seen, and the side on the same side as the driver is a blind spot of vision, so there is no way to see it arrive.

"Isn't there another monitor in the opposite direction?" Tian Mi held a glimmer of hope.

The staff member shook his head: "The other one is at the exit gate."

From this video, Tian Mi still did not find any more clues. The only passengers who caught her attention were two young men in windbreakers, a couple who hurried into the car before driving, and a From the monitoring, it seems that a middle-aged man with a bald head had a dispute with the driver at the door of the car because he brought small luggage into the car.

There is no sound in the surveillance video, but we can vaguely guess the situation at that time from the image. The bald man seems to be determined to bring a cardboard box slightly larger than the instant noodle box into the car. The driver doesn’t know it’s because of the size of the luggage. Or for other reasons, they insisted on refusing, and the two argued for a long time at the door, which even affected the passengers waiting to get on the bus. Later, even the staff at the ticket gate went to adjust. Put it in the luggage compartment.

"Is this person suspicious?" Seeing Tian Mi spent a lot of time on this surveillance video, the staff in the surveillance room asked curiously.

"It's hard to say." Tian Mi can't draw conclusions hastily now, neither public nor private.

After getting the surveillance video, Tian Mi decided to go to the ticket gate to ask about the situation.

"Tell me, it's so hot now, why would someone go out wearing a windbreaker? Besides, it's not just one person, but two people! Those two people clearly know each other and are companions together! Isn't it weird?" Tian Mi trembled Asking Lu Xiangdong while the T-shirt was damp from sweat.

Lu Xiangdong glanced at her: "If Tian Yang is here, he will say that you are not ladylike enough."

"Whatever he says, he's not my boyfriend." Tian Mi didn't care, "Then do you think I'm not ladylike enough?"

"will not."

"That's it. Hey, where did you talk! You haven't answered my question yet!" Tian Mi suddenly realized that Lu Xiangdong had taken away her topic.

"From the appearance, it is indeed the case. I hope the truth will not make people too disappointed." Lu Xiangdong's point of view is very conservative.

When they arrived at the ticket gate, they quickly found the two staff members who appeared in the surveillance video.

The two were shocked when they heard that the long-distance bus had exploded, but they quickly adjusted back. When asked about the bald man's dispute, the answers they gave were as follows: the bald man really insisted on I took that carton to the car, saying it was my very valuable antique wall clock, and the luggage compartment under the car was easily damaged in the bumps.But the captain thought that the volume of the cardboard box had exceeded the width of the luggage rack, and if it was placed on the car, it might fall and hurt other passengers.

"Do you need an ID card to buy a bus ticket now?" Tian Mi seldom took a bus, so she asked the staff at the ticket gate uncertainly.

"Yes, we now buy tickets with real names." The staff replied, and added, "Especially for long-distance ones!"
