"Tell us about the situation here," Han Bin said without batting an eyelid.
Ever since the incident with Tang Yu, Han Bin would no longer judge whether a person was lying based on their body language.
Li Weili led the group forward to the entrance of the courtyard. It was an ordinary rusty iron gate. It was just a thin layer of iron, and the lock had been knocked off.
Han Bin and the group put on their shoe covers and walked into the courtyard.
The courtyard was paved with bricks. On the left was the iron tower, and on the right was the engine room. There was a plastic sign on the door: "The engine room is a restricted area. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed."
It was a blue anti-theft door. The lock was also rusty, and there were obvious marks of being pried open, as if it had been pried open with an iron bar.
As soon as they entered, they saw a few rows of equipment on the opposite wall. They had stopped working. Walking further in, there was a dark gray iron shelf that was more than a meter tall.
Li Weili pointed at the dark gray iron shelf. "This is where the batteries are stored. They were gone when we came."
"How many batteries are missing?" Zeng Ping asked.
"There are 24 batteries per set. There are three sets, two for normal use, and one for backup."
"Can the 24 batteries be separated?" Tian Li asked.
"Batteries are usually connected in series. The batteries are connected by welding and screws. The latter can be connected and removed manually, while the former can only be opened with a drill and then welded," Li Weili said as he patted the iron shelf.
"Our batteries are all welded."
"Is the current strong?" Han Bin asked.
"Very strong. It's equivalent to a high voltage. If you don't know anything and forcibly disassemble it, it might cause the battery to short circuit and form a strong current. It's very dangerous," Li Weili explained.
"In other words, it's very likely that it was done by a professional," Han Bin asked.
"I don't know about that, but it would be very difficult for a normal person to disassemble it," Li Weili said.
Han Bin carefully observed the iron shelf that held the batteries. "How heavy is a battery?"
Li Weili thought for a moment. "About 50 kilograms."
Han Bin observed carefully. There were no obvious footprints or other obvious signs of a crime.
After that, Han Bin and the others left the computer room. Reuven led the technical team to collect fingerprints and evidence.
Han Bin came out of the yard and saw a yellow pickup truck parked by the roadside.
"Li Weili, did you drive this car here?"
"Yes, I usually drive this car when I repair," Li Weili replied.
"Who was there when the computer room was stolen?" Han Bin asked casually.
"Just me."
"Did you leave after calling the police?"
Li Weili shook his head. "No."
"Can your company confirm the specific time when the battery was stolen?" Zeng Ping asked.
"Not sure."
"Why aren't there any surveillance cameras around the base station?" Tian Li asked.
"There are a lot of base stations. Some are installed, and some are not. Our basic maintenance staff can't decide this kind of thing," Li Weili said helplessly.
"Zhao Ming, Tian Li, make a statement for Mr. Li," Zeng Ping ordered.
"Yes," Tian Li answered and called Li Weili to the side.
Only Zeng Ping, Han Bin, and Li Hui were left. The three of them naturally discussed the case.
"You two have a general understanding of the case. What do you think?" Zeng Ping asked.
Li Hui took out a box of chewing gum and gave it to Ceng Ping and Han Bin. "This base station was built in the middle of nowhere, and there aren't even any surveillance cameras. Plus, the crime was committed at night, so I'm afraid we won't be able to find many clues.
"If Reuven can find the suspect's fingerprints, it will save us a lot of trouble," Han Bin said with a smile.
Zeng Ping shook his head. "It's unlikely. There were no fingerprints of the suspect in the previous theft cases."
"To dismantle the battery pack requires a certain amount of professional knowledge. I think the suspect is likely to be someone in the industry or someone who has been in this industry before," Han Bin guessed.
"There are many people who have been in this industry. It's too difficult to investigate." Li Hui chewed his gum and said, "I think we should start with the vehicle.
"I think we should start with the vehicle. This place is so remote, and the battery pack is heavy. They definitely need a vehicle."
"According to Li Weili, this battery pack is close to a hundred kilograms. It's not small, and there are no obvious traces of being dragged. I'm afraid it will be difficult for one person to carry it. At least two people will be needed," Zeng Ping said.
"Including the lookout, I'm afraid there will be at least three people. This should be a gang crime," Han Bin added.
"The key is that there are no surveillance cameras. Otherwise, this case would be easy," Li Hui said.
"If there are surveillance cameras, the criminals might change their target. As long as they have the intention, they can always find loopholes," Han Bin said.
At this moment, Reuven walked over. "Captain Zeng, we've finished investigating the scene."
"Did you find any fingerprints?"
"I found a person's fingerprints. After comparison, it's Li Weili's." Reuven habitually rubbed his eyes with his palms.
"Did you find any other evidence left by the suspect?" Zeng Ping asked.
Reuven shook his head. "There's no obvious evidence."
Zeng Ping reached out and patted Reuven's shoulder. "You've worked hard."
"It's my duty." Reuven shrugged and then went to pack his things.
"There's only so much evidence at the scene. It's not enough to help us find the suspect. We can only find another way." Zeng Ping spread his hands.
Han Bin strolled around and circled around the construction truck, carefully looking at it.
"Did you find anything?"
"No." Han Bin frowned and said hesitantly, "Captain Zeng, do you think what Li Weili said is true?"
Zeng Ping was a little surprised. "You suspect him?"
"A little," Han Bin said.
Li Hui took the opportunity to say, "Could it be embezzlement?"
Zeng Ping glanced at Li Weili. "Do you have any evidence?"
Han Bin hesitated for a long time before saying, "Intuition."
Zeng Ping patted Han Bin's chest. "Intuition aside, look for evidence first."
After a while, Tian Li and Zhao Ming came back with their statements. Zeng Ping went straight to the point. "How's Li Weili's investigation going?"
"I don't think there's a problem," Tian Li replied.
Zeng Ping glanced at Han Bin. Seeing that he didn't have any objections, he continued, "Then I'll arrange a task."
"Han Bin, Li Hui, go around and see if there's anyone suspicious last night or early in the morning."
"Tian Li, Zhao Ming, check the nearby surveillance cameras and the Skynet surveillance at the nearby crossings to see if there are any suspicious vehicles or people."
After Zeng Ping finished speaking, he glanced at everyone. "Is there anything else to add?"
"Captain Zeng, this is only one crime scene. There are six other crime scenes. I'm afraid our team won't be able to handle them all," Li Hui said.
"You don't have to worry about that. I'll ask Captain Zheng to send more people."
