Hewei Restaurant.
When it was almost noon, the members of Team Two met at the restaurant. They reported their work while eating.
The five of them asked for a private room on the second floor by the window. They turned on the air conditioner, closed the door, and drank tea. It was more comfortable than the office.
"Everyone, don't stand on ceremony. Order whatever you want to eat. It's my treat today." Zhao Ming patted his chest and took on everything.
After spending some time together, they had some understanding of Zhao Ming.
Although Zhao Ming was the youngest, his family was rich. He could be considered a second-generation heir, so everyone did not stand on ceremony with him.
Zeng Ping ordered a fried intestine.
Han Bin roasted lamb chop.
Tian Li stir-fried vegetable heart.
Li Hui's duck blood curd.
Zhao Ming ordered a dish and a soup, steamed seafood in a big pot and meatballs in hot water.
In the end, he ordered six bowls of noodles, five bowls of rice, and a plate of dumplings.
"Zhao Ming, this dish of yours is more expensive than all of our dishes combined." Zeng Ping laughed.
"Everyone has worked hard these few days. Eat something good to nourish yourself." Zhao Ming was also hungry. He had been busy these two days and did not eat well.
"Zhao Ming, what does your family do? You're so rich. "Li Hui was like a curious baby.
"Nothing much. We just got a few houses for demolition. My parents have a small business." Zhao Ming spread his hands.
"Oh …"
Everyone had a look of understanding on their faces.
"Your family is so rich. Why are you a police officer? You should just follow your parents to do business." Li Hui joked.
"It's a long story. When I was in high school …" Zhao Ming was interested. He was about to tell the story when he was interrupted by Zeng Ping.
Zeng Ping waved his hand. "Alright, let's chat another day when we're free. Let's talk about the case first."
"Han Bin, Li Hui, don't you two have clues?"
"Let me speak." Li Hui was a little excited. "Captain Zeng, Brother Bin and I followed Yu Wei today. Guess what? Yu Wei hailed a taxi …"
"You're too talkative," Zeng Ping interrupted. "Han Bin will speak."
"We took the fingerprints and compared them with the ones on the computer. They match perfectly." Han Bin summarized in one sentence.
"Pah!" Zeng Ping clapped his hands. "Isn't it done now?"
"Since the fingerprints match, it means that Yu Wei has used the computer and probably watched the video. She is also suspected of committing the crime. Should we apply for a warrant?" Tian Li asked.
"Of course, but …" Zeng Ping rubbed his chin and hesitated.
"Captain Zeng, isn't it a good thing that the fingerprints match? What are we waiting for?" Zhao Ming was a little confused.
"It's a good thing, but it's been three days since the crime happened. We arrested Yu Hefeng in front of Yu Wei. Yu Wei is already vigilant and prepared. It's very likely that she has disposed of all the evidence. Even if we catch her, without enough evidence, it'll be hard to conclude the case." Zeng Ping expressed his concern.
Han Bin took a sip of tea. "Captain Zeng is right. This case is special. There are no fingerprints or DNA left. The only evidence that can be used as evidence are the video, the photos, the envelope, and the USB."
"Brother Bin, you studied the photos and videos for the whole morning yesterday. What did you find?" Li Hui asked.
Han Bin put down his teacup. "I did find something. I personally think it can be used as evidence to conclude the case."
"What did you find?" Tian Li also looked at the video and photos.
"The blackmail photos were indeed taken from the video."
"I found that too. It should be a video screenshot." Tian Li nodded.
"It's not a video screenshot. It's a photo taken on a computer screen." Han Bin corrected.
"What's the difference? Aren't they all blackmail photos? "Zhao Ming held the teapot and poured tea for Zeng Ping, Han Bin, and others.
"If it's a video screenshot, it can be directly transferred to the USB. If the USB has no fingerprints or is thrown away directly, it'll be very difficult to use as evidence." Han Bin held the cup with his hand and continued.
"But photos are different. What do you use to take photos now?"
"Of course it's a mobile phone. Except for some photography enthusiasts, who will buy a camera these days?" Li Hui replied.
"Photos are different from video screenshots. The angle and luster of the photo are unique. The photo is also unique. As long as we can find the victim's photo from Yu Wei's mobile phone, it can be used as the key evidence to convict her," Han Bin said.
"Tian Li, learn a little. This is called professionalism." Zeng Ping showed a look of appreciation.
Tian Li showed a bitter smile. Previously, this kind of technical work was done by Han Bin. It was only because the photos were special that Tian Li was in charge of it.
There weren't many people in the second group, but the division of labor was clear. This was not Tian Li's strength.
Although Tian Li was a woman, she could work hard and often shared some trivial work.
Looking for the leader's signature, the stamp of the bureau, printing reports, getting the file, issuing the warrant, going to the court to get the judgment, etc.
It was Tian Li and Zhao Ming who ran the errands. Sometimes, Li Hui would also share the workload.
When Han Bin first came to the criminal police team, he also ran some errands. Later, because of his excellent criminal investigation skills, he was valued by Team Leader Zeng Ping, so he said goodbye to these trivial tasks.
When a case was difficult, Han Bin was in charge of tackling it. When there were no cases, Han Bin would rest.
Han Bin was also very satisfied with this division of labor.
It was the same principle as playing a game. Someone had to play support in order to have a good output environment.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door outside the private room. Everyone stopped talking.
The waiter pushed the door open and came in, serving the dishes.
First, three dishes were served. Stir-fried vegetable hearts, dry-fried pig intestines, and roasted lamb chops.
Zeng Ping picked up a piece of pig intestine and tasted it. "This is the taste. The fried pig intestine tastes best when it's burnt. Paired with half a catty of Erguotou, it's delicious."
"Captain Zeng, when there are no more cases, let's have a drink." Li Hui was also a drinker. When he was not on a mission, he liked to drink.
Zeng Ping smiled. After the waiter left, they began to discuss the case again.
"The photos on the phone can be used as one of the key pieces of evidence, but this chain of evidence is still insufficient." Zeng Ping put down his chopsticks and analyzed. "It can only mean that she took the photos, but it can't prove that she is related to the blackmail case."
Li Hui thought about it for a moment. "This morning, Yu Wei took a taxi out. If she went to Anyang Apartments, she might have taken a taxi too. We can take her photo to the taxi company and ask. Maybe we'll find some clues."
"That's a good idea. If we can prove that she went to the crime scene, the chain of evidence will be more complete," Zeng Ping said.
"Captain Zeng, I remember that Yu Hefeng only has one computer at home." Han Bin changed the topic.
"What's wrong?"
"The blackmail letter and the photos are all copied to a USB drive. Usually, they need to be operated by a computer. For the first letter, Yu Wei might have used Yu Hefeng's computer to write the blackmail letter and copied the photos on the phone to the USB drive." Han Bin recalled.
"The second blackmail letter was placed at the victim's house after Yu Hefeng was caught and his computer was taken away. Then, the second blackmail letter was probably not written on Yu Hefeng's computer. Where would she go to complete the second blackmail letter?"
"Her boyfriend's house?" Li Hui guessed.
"I think young people still like to go to internet cafes." Zhao Ming put forward a different opinion.
"Am I old?" Li Hui asked.
"Don't go off topic." Zeng Ping scolded him and continued, "It's not something to be proud of. She probably doesn't want her boyfriend to know. It's more likely that she went to the internet cafes."
"There are surveillance cameras in the internet cafes. If she went to the internet cafes to write the blackmail letters, it's very likely that it would be recorded." Although Zhao Ming had a computer at home, he would still go to the internet cafes to play games with his friends. So, he was more familiar with the situation there.
Zeng Ping thought for a moment. "I'll adjust the task. Han Bin and Li Hui will go to the taxi company to investigate."
"Zhao Ming and Tian Li will go to the internet cafes near Yu Wei's house to investigate."
"I'll go back to the station in the afternoon to report to Captain Zheng and apply for a search warrant and a warrant of arrest."
"Yes."
