Chapter 748: The Clown
If what Zhang Li said is true, then this will be a murder case.
Han Bin pressed, "Did anyone else see it besides you?"
Zhang Li nodded, "Yes, and the staff in charge of the hot air balloon, they wanted to stop it but it was too late."
"Where's the clown?"
"I was just looking at the hot air balloon, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye, probably running away."
Han Bin glanced at his watch. More than 20 minutes had passed since the hot air balloon accident. It is estimated that the clown had already escaped.
If he took off his clown costume, it would be a waste of time to track down the clown.
At this moment, two police cars drove over, and several people in police uniforms got out of the car. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old.
Han Bin stepped forward and showed his police officer ID, "I am Han Bin from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade. I was playing with my friends in the playground. After the accident happened, I rushed to the scene to maintain order."
The middle-aged policeman shook hands with Han Bin, "Thank you for your hard work. I am Zheng Minying, the deputy director of the Zouma Town Police Station. Thank you for helping us maintain order."
"You're welcome, I also worked in the Yuhua branch for a while before." Han Bin responded and briefly introduced the situation to Zheng Minying.
The playground is located in Yuhua District, and the Yuhua Sub-bureau is also responsible for the case. After handing over to the police from the Zouma Town Police Station, Han Bin has completed his duties.
This case should be handed over to the criminal investigation team of the Yuhua branch. If it was another branch, Han Bin might not interfere too much, but the Yuhua branch is different.
Han Bin was transferred from the Yuhua Branch to the City Bureau. Director Dai Minghan, who was in charge of criminal investigation, had a good relationship with Han Bin and had promoted Han Bin.
Han Bin felt that it was still necessary to say hello to him.
If Dai Minghan needs it, he can wait until the criminal investigation team of Yuhua Branch arrives before leaving.
Although people from the Zouma Town Police Station had arrived at the scene, the civilian police at the police station were different from the criminal police. The former only maintained order and protected the scene, and could not conduct further investigations into the case.
To put it bluntly, it may delay the best time to investigate.
Han Bin walked aside and dialed Dai Minghan's number, "Hi, Bureau Dai.
"
"Yo, Han Bin, why did you remember to call me?"
"Dai Ju, I was playing with my friends at the Zouma Town Playground. An accident just happened here. You should have received the news."
"Yes, I just received the news, how is the situation over there?"
Han Bin said, "The hot air balloon had an accident and fell from a high altitude. At that time, one passenger on the hot air balloon was already dead. The place where it landed was relatively empty, and no more casualties were caused."
"That's good." Dai Minghan breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard that there was an accident in the playground, he was startled just now, because the playground is densely populated and there are children, it is likely to cause a large number of casualties. Unbelievable.
Han Bin continued, "I just asked the deceased's friend. According to the deceased's friend, the deceased was probably killed, and it was not a simple accident."
"What do you think?"
Han Bin thought for a while and said, "At that time, the deceased was the only person on the hot air balloon. The reason why the hot air balloon had an accident was because the switch of the steel cable fixing the hot air balloon was damaged."
"I checked the broken part of the cable just now, and it does seem to be man-made. After learning about this situation, I will report it to you immediately. There is no further verification for the time being."
Dai Minghan pondered for a moment, "I understand. I will immediately ask Zeng Ping to lead the three teams over there. Since you are at the scene, don't leave. Do whatever you want to investigate, and don't delay the investigation."
Han Bin replied, "I obey your arrangement, but the Zouma Town Police Station..."
Dai Minghan said without hesitation, "I will greet them and ask them to cooperate with your investigation."
"yes."
Dai Minghan, the old boss, said that even if it was voluntary work, Han Bin had to do it.
Afterwards, the Third Squadron of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Yuhua Sub-bureau took over, and the fat water did not flow to outsiders' fields. After all, they were still their own people.
Looking at the posture, Han Bin would not be able to leave for a while, so Han Bin took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Ting's number.
After the phone was connected, Wang Ting's concerned voice came, "Han Bin, are you all right?"
"It's okay, Bao Xing and I are fine, we're already at the scene of the hot air balloon crash, but it's estimated that we won't be able to leave for a while, let me tell you something."
"Did the person in the hot air balloon die?"
"He's dead, so things are more troublesome." Han Bin didn't hide anything. There were too many people watching, so there was no need to hide anything.
"Alright then, go ahead, Qianqian and I will stay in the car."
Han Bin reminded, "One more thing to remember, if you see a clown, you must stay away from him. Then call me."
Wang Ting was a little surprised, "What happened to the clown?"
Han Bin whispered, "Judging from the current situation, this accident was probably caused by a clown. He is very dangerous, so we must stay away."
"Ah!" Wang Ting's voice was a little surprised, but there was also a hint of fear, "After we separated from you just now, Qianqian and I saw a clown when we returned to the parking lot."
Han Bin hurriedly asked, "Are you two okay?"
"fine."
"Lock the car door and protect yourself."
"We understand that we're not going anywhere."
"Where did that clown go, do you know?"
"The clown was holding a few balloons in the shape of animals. Qianqian wanted to look at it, but I stopped her. Then there was no one there in a blink of an eye."
The more Han Bin listened, the more worried he became, "Well, don't you two stay alone in the parking lot. I'll ask Bao Xing to pick you up."
Han Bin still felt that Wang Ting was more at ease under his nose.
"Okay." Wang Ting was timid at first, but when she heard that the clown might be the murderer, she felt a little guilty.
Huang Qianqian on the side was excited, "What did Team Han say just now? Is that clown a bad guy? I just said, he doesn't look like a good guy. Cousin, you shouldn't have stopped me just now, or I might have caught him gone."
Wang Ting hung up the phone, "Okay, don't make trouble."
...
After that, Han Bin arranged for Bao Xing to pick up Wang Ting and Huang Qianqian.
He himself stayed at the scene, ready to investigate.
At this time, Zheng Minying, the deputy director of Zouma Town, had just finished answering the phone, and quickly walked in front of Han Bin, "Captain Han, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be the squadron leader of the city's criminal investigation team at a young age."
"Director Zheng, you are welcome. I have worked in the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Yuhua Branch before, and we are not outsiders."
Zheng Minying's tone was a little more cordial than before, "Yes, just tell me if you have any arrangements, and the Zouma Town Police Station will definitely cooperate."
Han Bin nodded and officially took over the scene...
