chasing the dark

Chapter 97 Adjustment and Monitoring

Although the two restaurants are dilapidated, it can be seen from the outside that a lot of thought has been spent on the decoration.

The hot pot restaurant adopts a pure Chinese-style building with carved beams and painted buildings, and there is a long corridor outside.The barbecue restaurant is in Japanese pastoral style, and a flowing water landscape is built at the entrance.

The unlock master finished his task and left. Several people first stood in front of the hot pot restaurant's door. When the wooden carved door was pushed in, a burst of dust fell with the creaking sound.

The light inside was very dark, only sunlight came in through the open door, and a few figures appeared on the ground.

Ye Zhanzhou squatted down and looked in with his head sideways. There was thick dust on the ground, but there were no footprints, which meant that no one had come in here for a long time.

"The dust is big enough." Officer Lu waved his hand a few times, "Why don't I go in, so as not to damage the scene."

This reason is very good, Ye Zhanzhou nodded in agreement.

He stood up, put on his shoe covers, and walked in, followed by Ding Xuan and Jiang Yu.

The windows of the hot pot restaurant are all wooden hollows, with bamboo curtains hanging, which is very old-fashioned.

Ding Xuan found the electric box and tried to push the switch, but the electricity was not cut off, and a little light came on in the hall.

Tables and chairs, etc. have been moved away, and Ruo Da's hall looks empty.

Entering along the corridor on one side, there is a row of private rooms, and if you look at them one by one, they are all empty.

Come out and enter the corridor on the other side is the back kitchen and staff lounge, which is relatively messy.Empty bottles, old vegetables, and even a few work clothes were randomly thrown on the ground.

There is a door next to the back kitchen, and going out from there is the passageway for entering and exiting the auto repair shop.It is because of this door that the scavengers Zhaotou and his wife mistakenly think that the bones were thrown away by the restaurant when they first found them.

There was nothing strange in the hot pot restaurant, and the three of them went to the barbecue restaurant again.

Unlike the neighbor next door, the entrance of the barbecue restaurant is a foyer.

As soon as he entered, Ye Zhanzhou frowned slightly, turned around and came out to ask Director Lu: "Did these two stores move out together?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Director Lu looked puzzled.

Ye Zhanzhou took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then said: "Someone has come in, our colleagues will be here in a while, and will investigate here."

"Ah?!" Director Lu was astonished, "Why would anyone go in if they have nothing to do?"

When the bones were dug up in the auto repair shop, a security tape was pulled at the door, and even passers-by did not know what the police were doing inside.

No one was sent from the street that day, and this contact only said that they wanted to see the two stores, but did not tell them the specific situation. Now that they need to investigate, Director Lu realized that something serious might have happened.

Ye Zhanzhou showed an apologetic smile: "There are some things, it's not convenient to tell you. If your leader asks, ask him to contact our bureau office."

"I know, keep it secret, keep it secret." Director Lu nodded repeatedly, "It's just a few empty houses, you can check them casually. I'll go back and report to the director, so your work won't be delayed."

After getting the consent, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, got on his bicycle and left.

The technical investigation came quickly, it was Li Ji and Shi Hao.

Ding Xuan looked behind them: "Old Wu went to a meeting again?"

"Oh, it's pasted." Seeing that he didn't quite understand, Li Ji explained, "Isn't my master suffering from asthma? Futian puts on the plaster, so he won't suffer from it when the season changes."

"Is it easy to use?" Ding Xuan asked curiously.

Li Ji put on the overshoes and said, "Who knows, it's the first time my master puts on that thing, and it can't be twisted by my mother."

"It depends on the individual." Ye Zhanzhou gave a pertinent evaluation, and then gave the general situation to the two technicians.

Here Li Ji and Shi Hao started working, leaving Jiang Yu to cooperate at any time, while Ye Zhanzhou and Ding Xuan went to the bottled water factory south of the auto repair factory.

Although the two factories are next to each other, the gates are far apart.No way, the bottled water plant is too big, and they didn't open the door here.

When he arrived at the place, Ding Xuan showed his ID to the security guard at the gate: "We are from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and we want to find the person in charge of security at your factory."

A few days ago, the patrolmen came to borrow iron pliers. Someone in the factory went to watch the excitement, saying that there were many policemen who didn't know what to dig in the yard.

Now another criminal police came to look for the head of the security department. Although they didn't know the specific situation, the two security guards didn't dare to delay, and one of them hurriedly called the security department.

Taking advantage of this time, another elderly security guard put his elbows on the window sill of the guard room, leaned forward and asked, "What happened to the auto repair shop?"

Seeing that Ding Xuan looked at him silently, the old security guard smiled: "Understood, keep it secret."

"That's right." Ding Xuan nodded, "We have secrecy rules, not to mention you, even my family members can't disclose it casually."

The young security guard also came over after making the phone call, and said, "Actually, you don't need to ask. The criminal police from the Municipal Bureau have been dispatched. It must be a big case."

"It's as if you know it." The old security guard gave him a sideways look, "Then tell me, what kind of case could it be?"

"It's either bribery or gang involvement." The young security guard said with certainty.

The old security guard said disdainfully: "Pull you down, you are talking nonsense every day."

"Hey! Don't believe me. When the factory was still here, there were only buses parked in the yard." The young security guard said convincingly, "If it doesn't matter, how could it be possible to do this kind of work. I said That's right, Comrade Police?"

Ding Xuan did not answer his question, but asked: "Have you contacted the person in charge?"

"Oh, Chief Lin from the security department will be here soon."

The young security guard said and pointed to the factory yard: "Here, here we come."

Under the scorching sun, a man in a white shirt and dark gray trousers was walking quickly out of the office building.

When they got closer, the two sides shook hands.Director Lin waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Go to the office and talk."

Ye Zhanzhou left and explained the purpose of his visit. Hearing that it was for monitoring, Director Lin took him directly to the monitoring room on the first floor of the office building.

Entering the monitoring room, Director Lin introduced: "The monitoring of our factory was newly replaced last year. Cameras are installed in key parts such as the gate, production workshop, and warehouse. Centralized management, multi-screen display, and the host can automatically record alarm images. Monitoring The cameras can automatically fill in the light, full-color, and can take pictures clearly at night, which is much better than the old equipment before.”

"How many cameras are there at the gate of the factory?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

"Two." Director Lin pointed to the large screen that was divided into several pieces, and then patted the monitor on the shoulder, "Xiao Zhao, you can call out the gate."

Xiao Zhao, the monitor, was operating the computer on the table, and soon a picture appeared on the screen, which was the door they entered just now.

"This is from the south." He switched to another one, "This is from the north. The two cameras are facing diagonally, and combined with the one in front of the office building, there are basically no blind spots."
