"How about this, I'll arrange the tasks."
Zheng Kaixuan organized his words and said, "We'll split the investigation into three directions. First, find the scene of Shen Nianrou's kidnapping."
"Second, find Ma Yongfeng's whereabouts. See if there's anything abnormal about him during the time of the crime. The first time, he kidnapped the wrong person. The second time, the mole might be there."
"Third, investigate Shen Nianrou's creditors and see who has the motive."
"Captain Zheng, the first two directions can be investigated overnight, but the third direction won't be easy to investigate at night," said Zeng Ping.
"Then split into two shifts. I'll lead the night shift. Wei Zimo and Du Qi will investigate Ma Yongfeng's whereabouts. Tian Li and Sun Xiaopeng will find the location of the kidnapping scene. The rest of you don't need to work for now. Go back and sleep first. We'll take over tomorrow." Zheng Kaixuan said.
At this time, it was already midnight. Even if everyone could last through the night, they wouldn't have the energy to investigate the next day. There were only two directions right now, and they didn't need that many investigators. It was also inconvenient to do things at night. The best way was to split the day shift and the night shift. That way, they could use their time and manpower wisely.
It was already one o 'clock in the morning when Han Bin returned home and washed up.
On this day, Han Bin had gone from Qindao to Simen County, and from Simen County back to Qindao. After investigating two kidnapping cases, Han Bin was tired and sleepy. As soon as he laid on his bed, he fell asleep.
… …
The next morning.
Han Bin slept all the way until 7am. He didn't have time to eat breakfast and went straight to the Kojima Substation.
Tian Li had also returned to the police station. She had two dark circles under her eyes as she distributed breakfast to everyone.
Han Bin got an egg pancake, a roujiamo, and a bag of milk.
Clap, clap …
Zheng Kaixuan clapped his hands. "Everyone, come sit. We'll eat while we talk about the case."
There were nine people present. Other than Zheng Kaixuan, Wei Zimo, and Du Qi, there was also Du Qi.
Han Bin took a bite of the roujiamo. The meat was 70% lean and 30% fat. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It tasted great.
Zheng Kaixuan pointed at Tian Li. "Tian Li, tell me about your investigation."
"We checked the Skynet surveillance. Yesterday at about nine o 'clock in the morning, a van appeared near the Fragrant Spring Villa. The license plate number was fake, and it was suspected to be a hostage kidnapping vehicle," Tian Li said.
"Did you find any surveillance footage of the hostage being kidnapped?"
"No, the shops are all closed at night. We only checked the Skynet surveillance." Tian Li was a little helpless. She tried to contact the shop owner, but she was scolded twice. She could only give up.
"Have you found the whereabouts of the suspect vehicle?" Zeng Ping asked.
"The car went missing from Taihang Street."
"Where did the car come from?"
"We traced it all the way back and found that the van also came from Taihang Street. Also, the license plate number was different for both crimes. It's hard to predict." Tian Li shrugged.
"Taihang Street is seven or eight kilometers long, and it passes by many villages. Once the van entered a village, it just had to change its license plate. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack," Li Hui said.
Zheng Kaixuan frowned. "Wei Zimo, tell me about your investigation."
"We went to the Thousand Gold Gate Factory to check the surveillance footage. We found that Ma Yongfeng left the factory at about nine o 'clock last night. He didn't go home, nor did he return to the factory."
"So Ma Yongfeng lied," Zeng Ping said.
"That's right. This doesn't match his previous confession," Wei Zimo said.
"From the looks of it, this Ma Yongfeng is a suspect," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Since his confession was fake, I suggest we give him a second statement," suggested Han Bin.
Zheng Kaixuan thought about it for a moment and said, "Old Zeng and Zhao Ming, go check the surveillance footage of the nearby shops. See if they recorded the scene of the kidnapping."
"Han Bin and Li Hui, go to the Fragrant Spring Villa and give Ma Yongfeng another statement."
"Those on the night shift, go back to sleep. After that, we'll continue the investigation."
"Yes." Everyone nodded and went their separate ways.
…
Forty minutes later, Li Hui arrived at the Fragrant Spring Villa.
"Oh, this place is pretty cool." Li Hui revealed an envious expression.
"The average price of the villas here is around twelve million." Han Bin winked.
"Tsk tsk, the life of the rich is truly different," sighed Li Hui.
Han Bin patted his shoulder. "Let's go."
The two of them arrived at Shen Nianrou's house. Aside from the Ma brothers, the forensics team was also here so that they could immediately find the kidnappers.
Seeing Han Bin come in, Ma Yongnian immediately got up and asked, "Officer, is there any news of my mother?"
"Not yet."
Han Bin nodded. His gaze landed on Ma Yongfeng. "Ma Yongfeng, yesterday's statement was a bit unclear. We want you to do it again."
"What's unclear? Just say it." Ma Yongfeng said.
"It's best not to have anyone else present. Let's go to the second floor."
Ma Yongfeng hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. He brought Han Bin and Li Hui to the second floor.
On the right side of the second floor was a study. The three of them entered and sat on the sofa. Han Bin turned on his law enforcement recorder and began his routine questioning.
Afterward, Han Bin got to the main topic. "Ma Yongfeng, do you know why we want to give you a second statement?"
"No."
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?" Li Hui asked back.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm a criminal?" Ma Yongfeng was a bit dissatisfied.
"After learning that Shen Nianrou was kidnapped, Ma Yongnian wanted to call the police. Why did you stop him?"
"It was only a suggestion, not an obstruction. Furthermore, he agreed to it. Now that something has happened, it's all on my head." Ma Yongfeng snorted.
"Then why did you do it?"
"If we choose to report the case and the kidnappers find out, they might kill us. I'm just worried about my mother's safety." Ma Yongfeng sighed.
"Since you're worried about your mother's safety, why did you give us a fake statement?" asked Han Bin.
"What statement?"
"You said you were in the company the entire night. We checked the surveillance and found that you were lying," said Han Bin.
"You're suspecting me!" Ma Yongfeng's eyes widened. "Am I crazy? Why would I kidnap my own mother?"
"Then where did you go yesterday?"
"That's none of your business."
"You're giving a fake statement, so you'll have to bear legal responsibility. We have the right to investigate this," scolded Li Hui.
Ma Yongfeng turned his head to the side and didn't say anything.
"Even if you don't say it, we can still investigate. Don't look for trouble."
"Huff …."
Ma Yongfeng sighed. "Don't you already know that Shen Nianrou isn't my birth mother?"
"Don't change the topic. We're going to ask you about where you were last night," said Han Bin.
"In the end, you're still suspecting that I kidnapped my stepmother. That's why you're investigating me." Ma Yongfeng shook his head.
"I wouldn't kidnap my mother, and there's no need for that. Although I'm not my mother's biological daughter, she raised me. She has always treated me like her own daughter and even left the company to me. I'm the general manager, legal representative, and vice-chairman of the Thousand Gold Doors Company. In reality, I'm the one managing the company. Is there a need for such a thing?"
"What's your brother's position in the company?" asked Li Hui.
"In the past, he interned in the company for a period of time, but he didn't want to work for long. Ever since then, he hasn't gone back to the company. He's not cut out for that. My mother and I both know this very well," said Ma Yongfeng.
"Since you have a clear conscience, why did you lie when you were taking the statement?" asked Han Bin.
Ma Yongfeng clenched his fists. After a long silence, he said, "Can you keep this a secret for me?"
"Sure."
"I have a girlfriend. I went to her place two nights ago."
"Why would you hide something like that?" Li Hui's interest was piqued.
"She also works in the Thousand Gold Doors Company … and she's married."
"Look at you. You're still a general manager. How could you do such a thing?" Li Hui snorted disdainfully.
"My feelings for her are sincere. She also has true love for me. It's just that we met the right person at the wrong time. Do you understand that kind of feeling?" Ma Yongfeng's eyes were red. Helplessness was written all over his face.
Li Hui paused. Although he didn't understand what kind of feeling it was, he roughly understood the process. "Aren't you afraid of her husband finding out?"
"Her husband is the sales manager of the Thousand Gold Doors Company. He's on a business trip."
".." Han Hui.
".." Han Bin.
