"Which direction?"
Han Bin stood up and walked to the surveillance room. He asked a staff member, "Do you have an underground garage?"
"Yes."
"Are there any surveillance cameras in the garage?"
"About a dozen."
"Oh my god." Zhao Ming slapped his forehead. "Can we watch it all with just the two of us?"
"Like I said, let's focus on the key points." Han Bin also sighed.
There were too few surveillance cameras in this neighborhood, which increased the difficulty of the investigation. If there were surveillance cameras installed at the entrance, there would be no need to check the surveillance cameras at the main entrance.
The two of them started their investigation from ten o 'clock in the morning until twelve in the afternoon.
Then, Tian Li ordered takeout and called the two of them to go back for lunch.
…
Building 5, Unit 2, Room 2704.
The aroma of food wafted from the corridor. In order not to ruin the scene, all the police officers sat in the corridor to eat.
Some sat on the stairs, while others sat on the floor. There was a lunch box and a bottle of mineral water.
Han Bin took a lunch box and opened it. "Yo, the food is good. There are duck legs, eggs, vegetables, dried tofu, and rice."
"Brother Bin, can't you just tell us the snacks in S County?" Li Hui rolled his eyes.
Han Bin drank a mouthful of mineral water. "You just need to eat instant noodles every day."
"What's wrong with instant noodles? I eat beef flavored today, chicken stewed with mushrooms tomorrow, pickled cabbage the day after, and pork ribs the day after. It's different every day." Li Hui raised his chin.
"Not bad, young man. You have good taste. I like it." Zheng Kaixuan smiled and teased, "Tian Li, from now on, prepare meals for Li Hui according to this standard."
"Yes, Captain Zheng."
"Haha …" Everyone laughed.
…
After the meal, they cleaned up the lunch boxes.
Zheng Kaixuan and the others returned to the living room and held a case analysis meeting.
"Tell me, are there any clues from the morning's investigation?"
"Captain Zheng, there are too many surveillance cameras. Brother Bin and I can't see everything," Zhao Ming complained.
"Han Bin, what do you think?"
"Focus on the investigation. At the same time, find a new direction to investigate and learn more about the suspect," Han Bin suggested.
"Did you find any suspicious people in the surveillance cameras?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
"At 8: 55 am yesterday, Xu Yan's husband took the elevator and left the neighborhood with a travel bag in his hand," Han Bin said.
"How big is the travel bag?"
Zhao Ming went straight to the point. "It's definitely not a problem to carry 200,000 yuan in cash."
Zheng Kaixuan nodded. He knew what to do.
"Tian Li, Li Hui, have you found any clues?"
"Just as you said, this community is a self-built building in Linfang Village. Most of the residents in this community are from the village, so there's a certain exclusivity. We visited some of the households and didn't see any outsiders coming in or out," Li Hui said.
"Is there any security guard at the entrance at night?" Zheng Kaixuan asked. "Yes.
Although he says he's a security guard, he's actually a doorman. He looks like he's in his fifties. I reckon there won't be anyone in the second half of the night, so he'll sleep in the duty room. He didn't provide any valuable clues … "Before Li Hui could finish his sentence, a knock came from the bedroom door.
"Creak …"
Xu Yan walked out from the bedroom. "Officer Zheng, my husband is back."
"Where?"
"He just entered the neighborhood."
"Let him come in. We'll give him a statement first."
Currently, there was no suspicious person found, but Xu Yan's husband was the biggest suspect.
…
Not long after, a man in his thirties entered the house. He was not used to the presence of so many police officers.
"Jin Chang, you're back." Xu Yan stood up and greeted him.
"Yan Zi, did you find the money?" The man asked.
"Not yet." Xu Yan pointed to Zheng Kaixuan. "Let me introduce you. This is Officer Zheng from the Criminal Investigation Unit."
"Officer Zheng, nice to meet you." The man extended his hand and shook hands with Zheng Kaixuan.
Zheng Kaixuan sized him up and said, "You came back at the right time. I was just about to ask you about the situation."
"What situation?"
"Yesterday, you were the last one to leave the house?"
"Yes, it was me."
"Li Hui, come and take the statement," Zheng Kaixuan instructed.
"Yes."
Li Hui switched on his law enforcement recorder, took out his notebook and began to take the statement.
"Name?"
"Song Jinchang."
"Work."
"Sales."
"What time did you leave the house yesterday?"
"Around nine in the morning."
"Where did you go?"
"Hanbo City."
"When you left, was the bag with the cash still there?"
"Yes, of course."
Li Hui changed his approach. "Did you touch the bag?"
"No."
"Do you have any suspects?"
Song Jinchang shook his head. "Isn't this the job of the police?"
"From your tone, it sounds like you have emotions," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"No."
"We saw from the surveillance footage that you took a travel bag and left the house. What was inside the bag?"
Song Jinchang questioned, "What do you mean?"
"Just like what you said, looking for suspects is the job of the police," Li Hui said.
"Are you suspecting me?" Song Jinchang stood up abruptly.
"It's not a suspicion. It's just a routine inquiry."
"This is my house. That is my money. I stole my own money. Am I stupid or crazy?" Song Jinchang shouted.
"Jinchang, if you really took the money, quickly bring it back. I beg you," Xu Yan said.
"You also don't believe me?" Song Jinchang pointed at himself.
"Jinchang, I know that lending money for my father's surgery made you unhappy. But that's still my father. As his daughter, I can't just watch him pass away." Xu Yan choked with sobs.
"Yan Zi, do we have money?" Song Jinchang asked, "We just bought a house. Our child is about to enter junior high. Today's tuition and tomorrow's extracurricular classes will cost money."
"Money can still be earned. Family is the most important." Xu Yan said.
"Then why didn't your brother pay? He is a son."
"Didn't he pay more than 10,000 RMB?"
"What can we do with 10,000 RMB?"
"My brother also just bought a house. He needs to pay the mortgage of 3,000 RMB every month. How can he afford to pay for my father's treatment?"
"We have to be fair, right?"
"My father raised me. If he is sick, shouldn't I pay?" Xu Yan asked.
"Your father has worked his whole life. It's not that he doesn't have money. Where is his money?"
"This …" Xu Yan swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue.
"He bought a house for your brother. It's a municipal house. It's a lot of money." Song Jinchang sneered, "Xu Yan, you should be more careful."
"Jinchang, tell me the truth. Did you take the money or not?"
"Don't tell me I didn't take it. Even if I did, I won't tell you." Song Jinchang said and bowed to everyone.
"Police officer, I was a little impulsive with my words just now. But I wasn't talking to you. Please forgive me."
Li Hui sighed, "It's not easy."
