Due to the nature of the case and the uniqueness of the evidence, the search did not take long. They brought the suspect's computer, phone, and USB flash drive back to the station.
At the police station, fingerprints and DNA were collected, and the phone, computer, and USB flash drive were sent to the forensics team.
The suspect was brought directly to the interrogation room.
The main interrogator was Han Bin, and Li Hui was in charge of recording.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"Chen Huijie, male, 34 years old …"
"How did you know Yu Hefeng?" Han Bin asked.
"Some time ago, he came to my shop to repair the computer."
"After that, did you keep in touch?"
"No."
Han Bin probed, "Did you find any videos on his computer?"
"I only repair computers. I don't look at my customers' stuff."
"You have to think carefully before you speak. Hiding the truth from the police is an additional crime."
"I'm telling the truth. I've never seen any videos, and I've never blackmailed anyone."
Han Bin changed the question, "Where were you the night before yesterday?"
"At home."
"Who can prove it?"
Chen Huijie thought for a moment and said, "My wife and son."
"The night before yesterday?"
"At home too."
"Do you have any other proof?"
"No."
"Did you go to Anyang Apartments?"
"I don't even know where it is."
…
The interrogation lasted for more than an hour.
After it was over, Han Bin and Li Hui returned to the office.
Zeng Ping was in the observation room and saw the interrogation. "This kid is quite tight-lipped."
"Captain Zeng, I don't think Chen Huijie is lying," Han Bin said.
"Brother Bin, don't forget about Edison Bro." Li Hui winked.
"The person who repaired Edison Bro's computer sold the video to the entertainment reporters, but the blackmailer in this case is the direct suspect. How did Chen Huijie know that the victim lives in Anyang Apartments?" Han Bin asked.
"Could it be that Yu Hefeng accidentally revealed it?" Tian Li guessed.
"Should we interrogate Yu Hefeng again?" Zhao Ming asked.
"Bang, bang." Reuven knocked on the door and walked in. "Captain Zeng, the fingerprint on the computer and Chen Huijie's fingerprint are out."
"Does it match?"
"They don't match at all."
"Are there any videos or photos of the victims on his computer and phone?" Han Bin asked.
"No."
"Could it have been deleted?" Zeng Ping analyzed.
"I'm trying to recover. If there's any, I'll let you know." After Reuven said that, he left.
Team 2's office fell into a momentary silence.
After a while, Han Bin broke the silence. "Captain Zeng, it seems that we might have caught the wrong person."
"Who could it be?" Li Hui had no clue.
"After I analyzed the photos and videos this morning, I went through the case again. I think there are some parts that are worth pondering," Han Bin said.
"Tell me about it."
"The suspect sent the blackmail letter. Why didn't he show up yesterday?" Han Bin asked.
Li Hui rubbed his chin. "Could it be that he found out about our surveillance?"
"I've thought about it carefully. There shouldn't be any loopholes in Captain Zheng and Captain Zeng's surveillance."
"Han Bin, why do you think the suspect didn't show up?" Zeng Ping asked.
"If the suspect knew that the victims had called the police, we would have gone to the crime scene to monitor them. He wouldn't be so stupid as to get caught."
"Brother Bin, isn't this contradictory? If he knew that the victims had called the police, why would he take the risk of being caught and send the blackmail letter a second time?" Zhao Ming didn't understand.
"It's not contradictory at all. It's reasonable. He did it for a purpose."
"Could it be that he wanted to help Yu Hefeng clear his name?" Zeng Ping guessed.
"Captain Zeng is the best. He got to the key point first." Han Bin smiled.
"You're still kissing ass at a time like this." Zeng Ping scolded him with a smile.
"In other words, Yu Hefeng has an accomplice. He's also involved in the blackmail case," Li Hui said.
"That's just one possibility."
"What's the other possibility?" Tian Li asked.
"This person doesn't want Yu Hefeng to go to jail for him. He wants to use this method to save him." Han Bin voiced out his guess.
Zeng Ping took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "No matter which possibility it is, the two of them are very close."
"I suggest we sort out Yu Hefeng's relationships and see who he's close to," Han Bin said.
"So far, Yu Hefeng's wife and daughter are close to him. Han Bin and Li Hui will be in one group. Tian Li and Zhao Ming will be in another group. Collect their fingerprints and compare them with the ones on the computer," Zeng Ping said.
"Yes."
…
Han Bin and Li Hui were responsible for keeping an eye on Yu Hefeng's daughter, Yu Wei.
The next morning, the two waited at Yu Hefeng's house.
To avoid being recognized by Yu Wei, the two dressed up.
Han Bin wore a pair of sunglasses, a cap, and casual clothes. Li Hui stuck a moustache and wore loose pants. The two were very different from their usual image.
The two followed Yu Wei as soon as she left.
Yu Wei was attending university in the city, but she did not go to school this morning.
Yu Wei hailed a taxi, picked up a young man on the way, and drove directly to Taylor Square.
After getting out of the car, the two entered the building arm in arm.
"Oh, her father has been arrested, but this Yu Wei is still in the mood to shop at the square. It seems that she is not close to Yu Hefeng," Li Hui snorted.
"I don't think so." Yu Wei's behavior made Han Bin feel that she was more suspicious.
"What do you mean?"
"She has already cleared her father of the blackmail suspicion, so there is nothing to worry about."
Li Hui nodded, feeling that it made sense. "Look, the two are shopping for men's clothing."
"Fortunately, they are men's clothing. If they were women's clothing, they would not be able to enter," Han Bin said with a smile.
Li Hui entered the store and glanced at the price of the clothes. He pouted. "Oh, the clothes are quite expensive."
"Young people nowadays are willing to spend money. Think about our school days," Han Bin sighed.
"You don't say. Yu Wei's boyfriend is quite handsome. He's almost as handsome as me," Li Hui said seriously.
Han Bin smiled without saying anything.
The two pretended to look at the clothes, but they were actually staring at Yu Wei.
After a while, Yu Wei and her boyfriend picked out the clothes and went to the cashier.
To Han Bin's surprise, it was Yu Wei who paid.
After the two left, Han Bin walked to the cashier. When Yu Wei paid, her hand was on the marble counter, leaving a clear handprint.
Han Bin showed his police badge and successfully collected the fingerprint.
Li Hui took out the portable fingerprint collection and comparison machine from his bag. The fingerprint on the computer had been entered into the machine, and the comparison results would soon come out.
"Ding, fingerprint collected."
"Comparing …"
Han Bin and Li Hui waited anxiously.
"Ding, fingerprint comparison results, a complete match!"
