Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 103 Murdering Yourself (7)
"That's not necessarily the case. You can start your investigation with plastic explosives. This type of explosive is rarely available in units, and even less so in private individuals. It mainly comes from the military, chemical plants, chemical research institutes, and mining companies. Of course, it can also be imported from abroad. They purchased it from an arms dealer, because plastic explosives are very secretive, easy to carry, and can even be hidden in toothpaste, so they can easily be brought into the country by suspects from abroad. If this is the case, it will be difficult for you to find the suspects." Expert Wu said.

"It would be great if we could find the mobile phone that detonated the explosive." Jiang Yiming said.

"I think so too, but this card was not found in the wreckage you brought back. It may have been flown far away. This is a Nokia C5 mobile phone. Its biggest function is long standby time and no consumption. A minimum of 10 days of standby time when powered on is a clue."

Everyone agreed with Expert Wu's statement. After Jiang Yiming divided the reconnaissance tasks, he announced that the meeting was adjourned.

Jiang Yiming asked Zuo Li and Wu Jiang to check the source of plastic explosives, and he and Xiao Ke checked for clues about the Nokia C5 mobile phone.

Zuo Li turned on her computer and entered the words "Where can I buy plastic explosives?" on the Internet. As a result, many manufacturers jumped out one after another. Among them, there is a company called "Qijian Chemical Co., Ltd." in this city that specializes in the production of plastic explosives. She I called Zuo Li by phone number and was answered by a sweet and sweet lady who asked Zuo Li what I could do for her.Zuo Li said she wanted to buy plastic explosives. The lady immediately transferred the call to General Manager Chen, who said: We never sell this kind of explosives.They also explained to her that although they are a private enterprise, the sale of C4 explosives must undergo strict approval and certification from the public security department.

Zuo Li asked him if there was any other way. Mr. Chen said that there was only one road in Huashan since ancient times, and there was no way.Zuo Li didn't believe that companies would be indifferent in the face of interests, so she decided to go to Qijian Chemical Co., Ltd. with Wu Jiang to investigate.

Dejian Chemical Co., Ltd. is located at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs, to the west of Dingjun Mountain. The car drives towards the mountain on a winding road. The factory is at the bottom of a valley surrounded by greenery. Before entering the factory, there is an iron switch with an automatic switch. Behind the gate is the company's office, and about half a mile away is the factory. It's time to go to work in the afternoon, and the entire factory is extremely quiet, as if it's a fairyland without human habitation.

Walking into the office building, the interior was spacious and clean, just like arriving at a five-star hotel. After receiving the call from the doorman, Mr. Chen was already waiting for them in the lobby.When Mr. Chen saw them arriving, he immediately jumped up from the sofa, greeted them warmly, shook hands with them, and asked them to sit down and drink tea. The lady at the front desk sat down to make tea for them. After a while, the dense fragrance of tea suddenly floated around. With a room full of people, how could they have the intention to drink this leisurely tea?Wu Jiang asked Mr. Chen straight to the point.

"We know that you need to go through strict approval when selling explosives, but is it possible that it could be stolen?"

"No, absolutely impossible. According to the "Production Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Regulations on Safety Production Management of Construction Projects", it is stipulated that the explosives depot area must be guarded day and night, patrols must be strengthened, and supervision must be strictly enforced. Unrelated personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the depot area. Therefore, we have four security guards on duty 24 hours a day, and to enter our explosives warehouse, you must have a key and fingerprint password, and only Manager Yang from the sales department and I have these two items," Mr. Chen said with certainty.

"Can you show us the sales invoices and certificates for this year?"

Mr. Chen agreed, and he made a phone call. After a while, the accountant from the sales department showed them the invoices and certificates issued by the public security department. In fact, there were only 43 orders in the past six months, all of which were placed by mining companies and construction companies. , there were a total of 6 large mining companies and construction companies, and all the procedures were complete. Wu Jiang and Zuo Li checked one by one and found no forged invoices or certificates. They were relieved and said goodbye to Mr. Chen, who wanted to stay. They ate, but they declined.

Although there is no problem with Qijian Chemical Co., Ltd., will there be any problem with the six companies?

After identifying the cell phone battery number, Jiang Yiming and Xiao Ke found a store selling Nokia C5 mobile phones. This is a large mobile phone supermarket. The salesperson at the counter found the invoice and found that the buyer's name was Zhu Tou and the purchase date was this month. On the 1st, I asked the salesperson if she remembered the buyer. She thought for a long time and said: I'm sorry, there are too many customers coming to buy mobile phones. They sell nearly a hundred mobile phones every day, and it is impossible to remember the appearance of every customer.

Zuo Li and Wu Jiang visited the first five companies that use C4 explosives, including two mining companies and three construction companies. After careful questioning and investigation, they found that their company's management of plastic explosives is very strict, and the administrators are all retired Soldiers are of very high quality and are very aware of the huge lethality of this kind of explosive. The salaries of these managers are extremely high and their work is easy. They will never ruin their good work for personal gain.

The sixth company is Apollo Stone Development Co., Ltd. This company is the largest stone development company in the city. It covers a wide range of fields. It has jointly developed and processed jade and jadeite, but their main business is the development of marble. To make the marble more perfect, they often use advanced blasting methods, so their company uses a lot of plastic explosives.

Apollo Stone Development Co., Ltd. is located in Tuoluo Mountain on the outskirts of the city, nearly 50 kilometers away from the city. 20 years ago, the company’s chairman Miao Yang spent 10 yuan to buy the marble development rights of Tuoluo Mountain. At that time, it was 10 Ten thousand yuan is a lot of money. Everyone said that he made a loss. Now the development rights can be sold for 1000 million, which shows how far-sighted Miao Yang is.

Wu Jiang and Zuo Li drove along the winding mountain road, slowly crawling from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Along the way, the trees were lined with trees and birds were chirping, and the mountain breeze poured in from the car window, which was very cool.When they reached the top of the mountain, they parked the car and walked towards the company office building.Zuo Li hadn't climbed a mountain for a long time. Looking far into the distance, she could see the rolling mountains meandering into the distance. At the foot of the mountain, there were criss-crossed paths and streams. From the well-proportioned villages and towns, the faint sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking was heard. It was pleasing to the eye and refreshing to the heart. Zuo Li I thought to myself: It would be great if Tang Yuan could accompany me to see this beautiful scenery...

Miao Yang is a middle-aged man who is nearly 50 years old. He is short in stature and has irregular facial features. He looks like a villain in an old movie. However, his eyes are bright, he is full of energy, and he is capable and experienced. He is like an instructor in the army. Those who judge a book by appearance will definitely be attracted by his appearance. Confused.Miao Yang was very enthusiastic about their arrival, but just right. He didn't have the arrogance or arrogance of the boss of a big company. When talking to him, he often quoted from classics and exuded a strong cultural atmosphere. He definitely didn't want to show off in front of them. But it came out naturally. Zuo Li hadn't encountered such a big boss for a long time, except of course Tang Yuan...

"Mr. Miao, we are here this time to investigate whether your plastic explosives have been stolen or lost?" Wu Jiang said.

"This is impossible. Our explosives depot is made of reinforced concrete. The door lock is a code lock. Without a code and a special key, you can't get in. Even I don't have a code or key."

"Who will manage the explosives depot?"

"My brother-in-law, he has been helping me for 20 years and he has never made any mistakes."

"Just him?"

"There is also Xiao Shunzi, the son of my comrade in arms. He has been here for two years. He is honest and reliable, dedicated to his duties, and very obedient. He is unlikely to do anything detrimental to our company. Don't worry."

They did not believe Miao Yang's words. The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart. They asked Miao Yang to take them to the explosives warehouse to check, and also called Xiao Shunzi and Miao Yang's brother-in-law He Dong to accept their questioning.

They sat on a simple bench in the duty room. On the bench opposite sat Xiao Shunzi and Ho Tung. Ho Tung was a middle-aged man, mature and steady. He answered them in an orderly manner, without any panic, and his eyes were clear. , even though Wu Jiang would occasionally stare at him, he was neither arrogant nor humble nor timid.

Xiao Shunzi was different. He didn't look like a young man at all. He was very depressed and unshaven, like a beggar who had been hungry for days and nights. When they questioned him, he always avoided questions intentionally or unintentionally. He never admitted it. He has sold plastic explosives to anyone, and Ho Tung also said that no explosives were lost in the explosives warehouse.However, only 100 grams of plastic explosives were enough to kill Liu Chaocong. Their explosives warehouse contained 5 kilograms of explosives. It was 100 grams missing, and He Dong could not detect it.Therefore, when faced with Wu Jiang's questioning, He Dong felt that he could not be so meticulous and there was a possibility of losing 100 grams of explosives.He Dong said: "If this is the case, the blasters who came to collect the explosives are also suspects. As long as one of them secretly hides a few grams every day, 100 grams can be collected in more than ten days."

"How many blasters do you have in your company?" Wu Jiang asked.

"There are now eight of them, all of whom are specially trained masters, but in the 8 years since the company was founded, there have been countless people who have come and gone."

"Do you think any of them would do that?"

"No, they are all honest migrant workers with seniors and juniors, and the wages we pay them are the highest in the city. They will not do anything illegal for the sake of small things. Also, They all have certificates and blasting certificates from the local public security bureau, and we all called the local police station to confirm before letting them go on duty, so it is impossible for them to do such a thing." He Dong said confidently.

Wu Jiang and Zuo Li were still worried and asked He Dong to ask the eight blasters one by one several times. In the end, no questions were asked. After that, they asked the blasters to return to their respective posts.
