With the help of Luo Liqun, the arrest of Zhang Xinlong was very smooth.
Han Bin asked Luo Liqun to knock on the door, and Zhang Xinlong opened the door without any hesitation. The police swarmed him, and he didn't even have the chance to jump out of the window.
The police conducted a surprise interrogation on Zhang Xinlong, and the two's statements matched. The police also found some stolen goods in Zhang Xinlong's house, including some gold and silver jewelry. However, they were all old jewelry, and the quantity was far less than the gold jewelry that was stolen from Jiufu Gold Shop.
However, considering the possibility of the gold jewelry being old, Han Bin still asked the owner of the gold shop, Pei Pengfei, to verify that it was indeed not the gold jewelry that was stolen from Jiufu Gold Shop.
The team members that were sent out to verify the situation also returned one after another. Luo Liqun and Zhang Xinlong really didn't have the time to commit the crime.
After eliminating the two's clues, Zhao Xiaohai's murder case was temporarily closed.
Just as Han Bin was worried, the 403 Gold Shop Robbery Case also hit a bottleneck. Han Bin took the lead to reorganize the case and find a new direction for the investigation.
Ding Xifeng, Han Bin, and Ma Jingbo often held meetings to discuss the case.
April 9th. It had been six days since the crime, and there were still no new leads.
In the temporary office of the Special Task Force, Han Bin was looking at the surveillance video near Zhao Xiaohai's house.
Although it was said to be near, it wasn't actually close. The countryside was different from the city, and there were much fewer surveillance cameras. Most of the time, there were only surveillance cameras at the village entrance, factory entrance, and main road. Some crooked village roads didn't have any surveillance cameras at all, which was the main reason why the police couldn't track the murderer.
At around 10 am, the North District Branch's Deputy Chief Chen Weixiong arrived at the Special Task Force office. "Comrades, it's been hard on you all this time. I'm here on behalf of the North District Branch to visit you all and bring you some food and drinks. Take a break."
Two police officers from the logistics department carried two boxes in. The boxes were filled with drinks, biscuits, and fruits.
The members of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit shouted, "Thank you, Chief Chen."
Han Bin also walked over and greeted him. "Chief Chen, thank you for the trouble."
"It's my pleasure. We're all comrades." Chen Weixiong took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Han Bin. "Captain Han, is there any new progress on the case?"
Han Bin took the cigarette. "Not yet."
"Investigating a case is not something that can be rushed. It is also a meticulous job. Sometimes, clues and evidence can be hidden in unexpected places."
"You're right. We're also reorganizing the case."
"What's the main direction of the investigation?" As the leader of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Northern District Sub-Bureau, Chen Weixiong was very concerned about the 403 Gold Shop Robbery Case. Otherwise, if the higher-ups asked and he couldn't answer, it would be a big problem.
"The 403 Gold Shop robbery and Zhao Xiaohai's murder are inseparable. Our investigation is mainly divided into two aspects. One is to start with the surveillance video. We have to comb through and investigate the surveillance cameras from Jiufu Gold Shop to the vicinity of Nanxi Village. The second is to investigate Zhao Xiaohai's social network, including but not limited to his phone number, neighbors, and some of his friends. "
Chen Weixiong nodded. If he were Han Bin, he would also investigate from this angle.
As the two of them smoked and talked about the case, they became more familiar with each other.
At this moment, Chen Weixiong could not help but ask, "Captain Han, do you know Han Weidong?"
Han Bin smiled. "Yes, he's my father."
"Oh, you really are Han Bin's son? I can't believe it. The last time we met, he said that you were from the Yuhua Branch Criminal Investigation Unit. When did you get transferred to the City's Criminal Investigation Unit? "
"I was transferred to the City's Criminal Investigation Unit last year."
"That's right. We met once in the winter two years ago. Due to the epidemic, we didn't have time to meet." Chen Weixiong patted Han Bin's shoulder and said in a more intimate tone. "Your promotion speed is really fast. You'll catch up to us in another two years. If it weren't for the fact that you and your father look alike, I wouldn't have recognized you. "
Chen Weixiong was already past the age of being envious of Han Bin. He was more envious of Han Weidong, who had a son who surpassed his father. He then thought about his own son. After graduating from the police academy, he joined the police force. At first, he was sent to the Criminal Investigation Unit because he was afraid that it would be too hard. Later, he was transferred to the Economic Investigation Unit. He had been there for two years, but he didn't make any achievements and was still an ordinary member.
Chen Weixiong's words stunned Han Bin, and he suddenly thought of something.
However, Chen Weixiong was here, and he couldn't think too much about it. The two chatted for a while more before Chen Weixiong left. Han Bin walked him to the door and returned to his desk.
Chen Weixiong's words reminded Han Bin that because of biological inheritance, fathers and sons were more similar. This resemblance was not limited to appearance, but also personality, habits, and even the way they walked.
When Han Bin was researching the identification of footprints, he would pay special attention to the footprints and the way they walked. He realized that some fathers and sons walked very similar, and he had the right to comment on this point.
All three gold shop robberies had video surveillance, and Han Bin had carefully observed the three suspects' gait. Therefore, when he first saw Song Jiapeng walk, he felt that his gait was very similar to that of suspect B.
However, after carefully comparing the videos of Song Jiapeng and suspect B, he realized that although the two were similar, there were some differences. For example, Song Jiapeng was taller and had a faster gait. Suspect B was older than Song Jiapeng, and he had a slight difference in height.
After a long period of research, Han Bin confirmed that Song Jiapeng and suspect B were not the same person.
However, Han Bin felt that it was too much of a coincidence, so he kept thinking about it. Chen Weixiong's words made him connect the two.
There were many similarities between Han Bin and Han Weidong, such as appearance, diet, personality, and even the way they held chopsticks.
Could Song Jiapeng be more similar to his father? Even if he wasn't his father, he could be a close male relative, such as an uncle or uncle?
After that, Han Bin called Zhao Ming and gave him a task to investigate the male relatives around Song Jiapeng.
At that time, it was time for dinner. Han Bin cleaned up and went to the cafeteria to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Zhao Ming walked over with a plate and said with a smile, "Captain Han, do you want half a pork trotter? The food here at the North District Branch is not bad, especially this pork trotter. It's cooked until it's rotten."
"I ate it yesterday, and it's a little too greasy today. This pork trotter tastes good with some chopped peanuts and cumin. "
"Captain Han, you really know how to eat. I'll try it next time."
"Oh right, did you find out what I asked you to investigate? You came here to eat. "
"I won't dare to disobey your orders. I've sent it to your WeChat. "
"Not bad. When the case is solved, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Captain Han, can you eat pork kidneys?"
"You don't want to learn the good stuff from Li Hui, and you learn this?" After saying that, Han Bin felt something was wrong. "That's right. What good can you learn from Li Hui? It must have been hard on you. "
Zhao Ming: "… …"
Han Bin ate a few mouthfuls of rice. "Take your time. I'll go back first. Remember to wash the dishes for me later. "
Zhao Ming: "… …"
… …
After Zhao Ming finished his meal, he strolled around the courtyard downstairs to digest the food before returning to his office.
When he reached the door, Feng Na shouted, "Zhao Ming, hurry up. We're about to go on a mission."
Zhao Ming quickly ran back to his office.
At that moment, Han Bin had already called his team members over. "Almost everyone is here. I'll arrange the mission."
"Wang Xiao, apply for a summons. Come with me to see Song Jiapeng later."
"Captain Han, there's nothing wrong with Song Jiapeng. He's already been released."
"Song Jiapeng is fine, but there's something wrong with his father."
The moment Han Bin opened his mouth, the surrounding people were stunned.
Wang Xiao said, "Captain Han, what does this have to do with Song Jiapeng's father?"
Zhao Ming still had an impression of the information he had just looked up. "Yes, Captain Han. Are you sure you're not mistaken? Song Jiapeng's father has been dead for several years."
"That's right. To be precise, it should be seven years." Han Bin stood up and walked to the projector. He played a piece of information.
"Seven years ago, the first gold shop robbery happened on the 13th of May. The second robbery happened on the 18th of May. The two cases happened five days apart. Song Jiapeng's father, Song Yingfa, died on the 5th of June, less than twenty days after the last gold shop robbery. "
Wang Xiao understood. "You suspect that Song Yingfa is suspect B of the gold shop robbery seven years ago."
"That's right."
Zhu Jiaxu raised his doubts. "Even if the timing of Song Yingfa's death is a bit coincidental, it doesn't prove that he's related to the robbery."
"You should remember that I thought Song Jiapeng and suspect B's walking posture was very similar, but after careful comparison, I confirmed that they're not the same person. There's a genetic relationship between father and son, and this genetic relationship is not limited to appearance, but also living habits and walking posture.
Before lunch, I asked Zhao Ming to investigate Song Jiapeng's immediate family. I found that Song Yingfa's age, height, and body shape are very similar to suspect B. It's a pity that I didn't find Song Yingfa's photo. Otherwise, the comparison would be more intuitive.
Even so, I still feel that Song Yingfa is more suspicious. It's necessary to go to the Song family and find out the cause of his death. "
Zhao Ming said excitedly, "Captain Han is right. Suspect A brutally murdered Zhao Xiaohai not long after robbing Jiufu Gold Shop. If we hadn't found his body when we searched the old house, I'm afraid the Zhao family would have thought that he had gone to Shanghai.
By the same logic, seven years ago, after Suspect A and Suspect B committed a crime together, Suspect A may also have killed Suspect B and destroyed the evidence, making it impossible for the police to track him down. Thus, he escaped for seven years. This also explains Song Yingfa's death. "
Zhu Jiaxu touched his chin. "Song Yingfa is indeed suspicious, but there's one thing I don't understand. If Song Yingfa died an unnatural death, why didn't his family call the police seven years ago?"
This was also what Han Bin was confused about. "Isn't Song Jiapeng Song Yingfa's family? Let's go and ask them."
