Flying drones in Beijing, especially those legally equipped with cameras, still poses a bit of a challenge.
However, the officers from the Zhengguang District Branch Bureau had their ways and the execution to match. A few young members of the Image Investigation team carried several drones and carefully flew them over a two-kilometer radius surrounding the donation box area.
Two kilometers might not sound like much, but in practice, it amounts to a circle with a 2-kilometer radius, covering an area of more than 12 square kilometers.
In Beijing, how many buildings are there within a 12 square kilometer area?
In this case, places like gardens, mausoleums, parks, botanical gardens, and zoos couldn’t be simply overlooked; they needed to be meticulously searched as well.
It’s just that the Beijing Bureau had sufficient manpower. Squad Leader Tao Lu mobilized more than a hundred people from three teams to watch surveillance videos, ensuring the progress wasn’t delayed. In the following days, everyone returned to their normal routines, watching videos at work and disciplining their children at home without a hitch.
For a case without a clear-cut beginning, the fact that not a single detective ended up hospitalized midway through the investigation suggested just how ample Zhengguang Bureau’s manpower was.
Over several days, the Image Investigation detectives captured thousands of pictures and identified hundreds of illegal constructions, but they found no green plants that met the criteria.
As with previous cases, as time wore on, everyone’s confidence inevitably waned.
It was clear to all that the longer it took, the less evidence there would be. Not to mention the most crucial piece of evidence in this case, the body, which could very well have been disposed of during this time, the target plants the team was searching for might have been processed too.
