At this moment, in the office of the Traffic Section of the Traffic Management Bureau.
Mr. He from the Criminal Investigation Unit was holding a list, contemplating the next steps for vehicle inspection.
A nearby criminal investigation team member said in a deep voice, "Mr. He, should we gather all the vehicles at the vehicle management station for a unified inspection?"
Mr. He pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Not that way."
"Although gathering them would make inspections much faster."
"But this approach has two problems."
"Firstly, with so many vehicles coming at once, it's impossible to inspect them quickly in a short time."
"Secondly, if a driver has contact with the suspect, it's very possible that the word might get out."
"So, to be on the safe side, we'll have to work hard and investigate one by one based on the owner information."
The three police officers nearby nodded.
"Mr. He, you're right, I didn't think it through just now."
Mr. He glanced at the list of suspicious vehicles.
"Fortunately, all 80 vehicles have local license plates. It shouldn't take too long to inspect them one by one."
Soon, Mr. He and the three others swiftly got into action.
After 10 minutes, they first found the No. 1 van.
"Hello, we are officers from the Criminal Investigation Unit."
"Due to an investigation, we need to inspect your vehicle."
"Inspect?"
The driver looked nervous.
"Officer, my operating license is still being processed."
Mr. He said, "Don't worry, we aren't from city management."
"We are handling a criminal case, your transportation business isn't the focus of this investigation."
Upon hearing this, the driver relaxed significantly.
He said, "Four officers, feel free to look around."
Mr. He handed the list he was holding to the officer next to him.
He boarded the van, grasped the edges of the van's roof with both hands, and stretched his head to observe the condition of the roof.
Upon careful observation, the entire roof showed no signs of deformation.
Then, after Mr. He got down, he looked around the body of the van and still found no signs of local deformation.
Lastly, Mr. He asked in a deep voice, "Has the vehicle undergone any repairs in the past two to three months?"
"No, it had maintenance half a year ago."
Mr. He nodded.
"All right! Thank you for your cooperation."
Seeing their actions, the driver was quite puzzled.
He had encountered many police inspections before, usually checking driving licenses and permits.
However, this was his first time encountering officers inspecting for roof marks.
Using the same approach.
They found Vehicle No. 2, another van.
Then they checked No. 3, No. 4, No. 5....
Six hours later, Mr. He and his party had reached the 78th vehicle.
At this moment, the sun had set, and it was gradually getting dark.
The faces of the four individuals were filled with exhaustion.
One of the officers said, "Mr. He, do you think we're heading in the right direction?"
"According to the new criminal investigation expert's idea, we've inspected 78 vehicles, yet we've found nothing."
Another officer stretched his back, "Exactly! I feel like we've been misled by him."
Mr. He glanced down at the vehicle list in his hand.
They had already inspected 78 of the initially listed 80 suspicious vehicles.
Moreover, based on all the drivers' recollections, none of them heard any sound of heavy objects hitting their vehicles when passing the abandoned office building around the time of the incident.
Currently, only two vehicles remained, one a cargo truck and the other a passenger minivan.
After a long pause, Mr. He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took out four sticks.
He lit one for himself and handed the other three to his accompanying officers.
After puffing a few times, Mr. He blew out several large smoke rings.
"Even though we've already inspected 78 vehicles, we might find hope in the last 2."
The officer beside him helplessly shrugged, "Mr. He, isn't that hope too slim?"
After another long silence, Mr. He asked, "Have the remaining two drivers been contacted?"
"I just contacted them."
"The passenger minivan driver is at the passenger transport center."
"The other cargo truck is at the second-hand car market unloading cargo."
Mr. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, stubbed it out, and threw it on the ground.
Then he stepped on it, twisting hard.
"Let's go! Let's test our luck!"
Quickly!
The three of them arrived at the passenger transport center and found that vehicle.
Using the same method, the same steps, the same observation, the same questions.
But!
The result was the same as always, with no discoveries.
Seeing this, the four of them had lost the energy and spirit they had at the beginning.
Just then, Mr. He's phone rang.
"Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. He, how is the inspection progress over there?"
Mr. He glanced down at the vehicle list.
He replied, "Mr. Zhang, our investigation hasn't been ideal, we haven't found any valuable clues."
"You've worked hard all day!"
"Come back for today! We'll check the remaining vehicles tomorrow."
After a brief pause, Mr. He said, "Mr. Zhang! We have just one vehicle left to inspect."
Hearing this, Zhang Feng was suddenly taken aback.
He clearly remembered there were 80 vehicles meeting the criteria.
So only the last one is left?
After a long pause, Mr. Zhang asked, "Have 79 suspicious vehicles already been ruled out?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang."
"We've conducted a thorough inspection of the roofs and bodies of each vehicle, and found no signs of repainting or dents."
"We also questioned each vehicle's owner, and none heard the sound of something heavy hitting the vehicle when passing the office building at the time of the incident."
