Xin Rui City District.
This was an open community. The characteristic of this community was that there were no gates and it was accessible in all directions. It was very suitable for young people to live in.
Han Bin took the elevator to the top floor and climbed another flight of stairs to the rooftop.
"Creak …" He pushed open the door and saw a man in a tight T-shirt leaning on the railing with a cigarette between the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
The man glanced at Han Bin and then turned his head to look at the sky at a 45-degree angle and puffed out a smoke ring.
Han Bin walked to the railing. The wind was so strong that he had to squint his eyes.
The man took another puff and said without looking back, "You're late."
"Slap!" Han Bin slapped his head. "You've been watching too many Hong Kong movies."
Chen Defu shrunk his neck and chuckled. "Brother Bin, is it that obvious?"
"It's not obvious. I just need to wear a pair of sunglasses."
"That means I'm good at acting."
"Hong Kong is such a small place. So many movies have the same scenes. Don't you get tired of it?"
"F * ck, you sound like you're out of it."
Han Bin pulled up Chen Defu's tights, then let go and bounced it back. "With this outfit, who would dare to say you're out of it?"
"Ah, let go of me, it's wrinkled."
Han Bin was speechless. He lit a cigarette and took a puff. "Alright, what did you find out? Hurry up and tell me, the rooftop is full of wind. "
"Brother Bin, that's not how they act in the movies. Let's go downstairs. I don't feel well either."
Han Bin: "…"
Seeing Han Bin quietly put out the cigarette, Chen Defu didn't dare to dawdle. "Brother Bin, I've done my research on that Sun Youguo you asked me to investigate.
This Sun Youguo isn't a local, so there's not much news about him. I've asked around and learned a bit about him. He has a criminal record. I heard that he was sent to prison for kidnapping. After he was released, he had a close relationship with a man called Old Cat. "
"Old Cat?"
"Yes. This Old Cat is quite famous in the underworld. He often sells stolen goods, and it is said that he has his own smuggling channel. As long as you are willing to pay the price, there is nothing he cannot buy. "
This wasn't the first time Han Bin had heard of this nickname. Back when he was investigating Zhu Wei Chao's prison case, one of the people involved had bought a gun from someone nicknamed "Old Cat." Han Bin had reported the situation to his superiors, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect the case to involve Old Cat again.
"Can you contact this Old Cat?"
"It might have been a while ago, but recently, Tomcat suddenly disappeared without a trace. There are all kinds of rumors going around. Some say that he went overseas, some say that his smuggling channels have been investigated, some say that he's been caught by the police, and some say that he's been arrested by the police."
Han Bin laughed. "You're quite considerate. You've thought of all the reasons for me."
"Hehe, this is how it is. What is true is false, and what is false is true. It is hard to tell what is true and what is false."
"Continue to help me find news about Old Cat. It would be best if you can get his contact information."
"I'll try."
Han Bin patted his shoulder. "Keep in touch. I'll go first."
"Wait for me. Let's go together. It's too damn cold up here."
…
After returning to the Public Security Bureau, Han Bin called Wang Xiao and Zhao Ming to his office.
The two walked in together, and Han Bin gestured for them to sit down.
"Captain Han, Team Leader." Zhao Ming took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to each of them.
Han Bin lit the cigarette and took a puff. "What do you think about the kidnapping case in Quancheng?"
Zhao Ming shrugged. "The kidnapping happened in Quancheng, and the people from the provincial office arrested Sun Youguo. We can't do anything about it."
"I'm talking about Sun Youguo coming to Qindao. What do you think?"
"Didn't he say that he came to Qindao because he had a falling out with his partner?"
"That's a possibility, but what if he lied?"
Wang Xiao said. "Do you think he came to Qindao for another purpose?"
"I found an informant to investigate Sun Youguo. It's said that Sun Youguo and Old Cat are very close."
Wang Xiao frowned. "Old Cat, I seem to have an impression of this person. We seem to have involved this person in our previous investigation."
"That's right. In the previous investigation of Zhu Weichao's prison case, one of the suspects bought a gun from Old Cat. This Old Cat is likely to be involved in illegal activities such as smuggling and selling stolen goods."
"Do you think Sun Youguo coming to Qindao is related to Old Cat?"
"I'm not sure yet. I called you here to investigate." Han Bin took a puff and continued, "Wang Xiao, you're responsible for investigating Sun Youguo's whereabouts after he came to Qindao. Focus on the places he went.
Zhao Ming, check Sun Youguo's communication records and see who he contacted recently. "
"Yes."
…
In the evening, Han Bin received a WeChat message from Bao Xing.
"Captain Han, we've returned to Quancheng. Don't worry."
Han Bin replied with four words, "Be careful."
Although the two had a good relationship, they didn't communicate much. There was a rule in the police force. Without the permission of the leader, Bao Xing couldn't reveal the progress of the investigation in Quancheng.
Although Han Bin found new clues about Sun Youguo, he didn't have any concrete evidence. If the information was wrong, it would have some negative effects, so he didn't mention it.
…
The next morning.
Wang Xiao and Zhao Ming reported to Han Bin as soon as he arrived at the office.
"Yo, you two are so proactive. It seems like you found something."
Wang Xiao handed a document to Han Bin. "Captain Han, you really have a good foresight. Sun Youguo's purpose in coming to Qindao isn't simple.
After Sun Youguo came to Qindao and before we started monitoring him, there was a period of time where he went out three times. Two of them were to eat, and the other one was to take a taxi to Qifeng International Transportation Company. "
Han Bin said, "Qifeng International? That name sounds familiar. "
"The kidnapped girl, Chen Xin's father is called Chen Qifeng, and he's also the legal representative of this transportation company."
Zhao Ming added, "I checked Sun Youguo's phone number, and one of the calls was from him to Qifeng International."
Han Bin got up and paced. "That means Chen Qifeng and the kidnappers are in contact. Do you think there's something fishy going on between them?"
Wang Xiao pondered for a moment. "I think there are two possibilities. First, they might be in cahoots, and the so-called kidnapping case was self-directed to cover up their real purpose. I remember that the person who reported the case was Zhang Chao's parents, and it happened to fit this point.
The second possibility is that Chen Qifeng and the kidnappers aren't in cahoots, but he didn't believe that the police could successfully rescue his daughter, so he agreed to the kidnappers' ransom. Sun Youguo came to get the ransom, and we caught him.
No matter which possibility it is, this Sun Youguo is lying. "
Zhao Ming snorted. "In my opinion, the people from the provincial office aren't that great. They couldn't find a clue, but we found it. Maybe they're still in the dark about it."
Wang Xiao said, "The people from the provincial office may not be better than us, but they won't be any worse than us. Maybe they found something wrong when they interrogated Sun Youguo again, but they didn't need to inform us."
Zhao Ming said, "Then let's not tell them. We'll investigate it ourselves. When we catch the suspect, I want to see their expressions."
"Alright, you're full of nonsense. You can't say such things casually." Han Bin reprimanded him and waved his hand. "Leave the information and go do what you're supposed to do."
Wang Xiao stood up and walked two steps before turning back. "Captain Han, we've found this clue. Shouldn't we continue to investigate?"
"Don't worry. I'll discuss it with the captain. Let's wait for the news."
"Yes." Wang Xiao pulled Zhao Ming out of the office.
After the two left, Han Bin carefully read through the investigation information. After thinking for a moment, he went to the captain's office.
"Knock knock …"
"Come in."
"Captain."
"Yo, just in time. I was just about to look for you. Sit down."
"What can I do for you?"
"What can I do for you?"
"There's something I need to report to you. Tell me first, I'm not in a hurry."
Ding Xifeng knocked on the table with a pen in his hand. "It's news from the provincial office. Yesterday, the Spring City police conducted an arrest at the stadium. The father of the little girl, Chen Xin, went to pay the ransom. The money was placed at the designated location, but no one came to collect the ransom.
At the same time, the police also went to the location Sun Youguo told them to search, but the rest of the kidnappers and hostages were gone. The provincial office suspects that the news might have been leaked during the arrest of Sun Youguo. "
Han Bin asked, "According to the provincial office, the responsibility is on us?"
"That's not it. The arrest of Sun Youguo was ordered by Captain Huang. Captain Huang didn't shirk his responsibility. It has nothing to do with us."
Han Bin continued to ask, "Did the provincial office find anything wrong with Sun Youguo?"
"What is it?"
Han Bin handed the information to Ding Xifeng and said, "The kidnapped girl's father is called Chen Qifeng. He runs a transportation company in Qin Island called Qifeng International Transportation Company. Sun Youguo had made a phone call to this company, and he himself had gone to Qi Feng International Transportation Company.
I suspect that Sun Youguo didn't come to Qin Island because he had a falling out with his accomplices. He came with another mission.
Moreover, Chen Qifeng and the kidnappers are in contact. "
Ding Xifeng looked at the information. "Interesting. Why do you think Sun Youguo contacted Qifeng International Transportation Company?"
"I think there are three possibilities.
First, Chen Qifeng is in cahoots with the kidnappers. The kidnapping was self-directed to cover up their true purpose.
Second, Chen Qifeng isn't in cahoots with the kidnappers. He doesn't believe that the police can successfully rescue his daughter, so he agreed to the kidnappers' ransom in private. Sun Youguo came to collect the ransom and was coincidentally caught by us.
Third, I've investigated this Sun Youguo through my informant. He has a close relationship with someone called Old Cat. Do you remember this person? "
Ding Xifeng nodded. "I have some impression of him."
Han Bin continued, "This Old Cat has a bit of a reputation in the underworld. He does illegal work such as selling stolen goods, smuggling, and selling guns. If Old Cat is behind Sun Youguo, then they probably kidnapped Chen Qifeng's daughter not for ransom, but for a smuggling channel. "
Ding Xifeng guessed, "They want to use Chen Qifeng's company to smuggle illegal goods."
"I personally think it's possible."
"When did you find these clues?"
"I just confirmed it."
"Who else knows?"
"I asked Team One to be in charge of the investigation."
Ding Xifeng thought for a while. "Sun Youguo and Chen Qifeng are both in Quan City. It's impossible for us to interrogate them without going through the provincial office. Also, Qifeng International Transportation Company isn't small. If we investigate this company directly, it's very likely that we'll alert them. That's not the best choice. "
"I know. I don't think I can bypass the provincial office. I just want to find concrete evidence. After all, the three possibilities are just my guesses. I don't have any evidence."
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to search Sun Youguo's residence again."
Ding Xifeng thought for a while. "Okay, go ahead. When you find concrete evidence, I'll report it to the provincial office. "
"Yes."
…
Half an hour later, Han Bin brought Team One to Huarun Estate again.
Wang Xiao said, "Captain Han, what's our target this time?"
"All the clues related to Qifeng International Transportation Company." After arresting Sun Youguo, the police also searched his residence, but Sun Youguo had already been taken away by the provincial office. The enthusiasm of the team members was somewhat affected. Moreover, they didn't know any clues about Qifeng International at that time, so they might have missed some evidence.
Han Bin planned to search Sun Youguo's residence again. It would be best if they could find evidence, but if they couldn't, they would use other means of investigation.
After arriving at Sun Youguo's residence, Han Bin explained again and then let the team members search separately.
Because they had already searched once before, Han Bin didn't have much hope.
Time passed by, but they didn't find any clues related to Qifeng International.
Han Bin glanced at his watch. If they couldn't find any valuable clues, they could only choose to report to the provincial office and let them investigate by interrogating Chen Qifeng and Sun Youguo.
This would undoubtedly take away the credit of the Qin Island police, but considering the safety of the two hostages, Han Bin could only compromise.
"Captain Han, we found a mezzanine on the bedside table." Jiang Yang's voice came from the bedroom.
Han Bin walked over to check. There was a white bedside table next to the bed. The bedside table was divided into two layers. Jiang Yang pulled out both layers of the bedside table. At this time, he found that there was a small drawer behind the drawer of the bedside table on the lower layer. If he didn't pull out the entire bedside table drawer, it would be difficult to find this.
In the small mezzanine drawer, there was an ID card and a few bills. The bills had the shipping number on them. There were both Chinese and English bills.
Han Bin was proficient in English, so he quickly understood the contents. This was a batch of goods from Thailand. The types of goods included silicone pillows and silicone mattresses. The carrier was Qifeng International Transportation Company. The arrival time was two o 'clock in the afternoon at the third cargo port of Qin Island.
Seeing these bills, Han Bin had an idea. The so-called ransom was simply to buy time. The real purpose of the kidnappers was to get this batch of smuggled goods …
Han Bin was also very curious about what these goods were that made Sun Youguo and others take such a big risk …
