Ma Fangfang hesitated for a moment before speaking first, "I want an identical diamond ring."
"This … depends on whether the police can help you find it. If the police can find it, then everyone will be happy. If the police can't find it, then there's nothing we can do. Do you have any other requests? "Manager Hao said.
"If they can't give me the same diamond ring, then I hope that the resort can compensate me directly and I'll buy a similar diamond ring myself."
"How much do you want?"
Ma Fangfang stretched out four fingers. "Forty thousand."
"Miss Ma, your price is too high. I'm afraid I can't make the decision."
"Then find someone who can make the decision," Zheng Rong said.
"Your price is a little high. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be able to agree either," Manager Hao said helplessly.
Ma Fangfang frowned and said unhappily, "I asked you to name a price, but you didn't. I said the price, but you think it's too high. What do you think we should do? "
Manager Hao said, "Twenty thousand. Our resort is willing to compensate twenty thousand."
"No, this price is too low. We can't buy it at all."
"Miss Ma, no one wants to see your diamond ring being stolen. Our resort agreed to compensate you twenty thousand out of humanitarianism. It's not our obligation," Manager Hao said.
Li Lan Lan crossed her arms. "I don't like hearing that. The diamond ring was lost in your resort. If your resort has no obligation, then who has an obligation?"
"Miss, please don't be hostile towards me. I'm here to bear part of the obligation, so I proposed twenty thousand as compensation. However, you should know that the main responsibility for the loss of the diamond ring is not on the resort. We've already done our best to compensate you with twenty thousand, "Manager Hao said.
"Alright, don't make it sound so dignified. What humanitarianism? Aren't you just afraid that the matter will affect the resort's business?" Zheng Rong snorted and hugged Ma Fangfang's shoulder.
"I'll make the decision for my sisters. Thirty thousand, not one cent less. We don't want any more."
Manager Hao did not agree immediately. He turned to look at Ma Fangfang. "Miss Ma, is this your idea?"
"Yes, my sisters' words are my thoughts." Ma Fangfang's tone was firm.
"Alright, I'll report to my superior. If there's no problem, I can give you the money tomorrow. But I want you to promise me something. "
"What condition?"
"Don't take the initiative to look for the police to investigate. If the police solve the case and take the initiative to contact you, it will naturally be a happy ending. If the police did not contact you, I hope that you will not ask the police to come to the resort to investigate. "
"To be honest, people in police uniforms wandering around the resort do have a certain impact on the resort."
Ma Fangfang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I agree."
"Great, then I'll leave first. There's a buffet voucher in the bag. I wish you a pleasant meal!" Manager Hao left the room after he finished speaking.
Zheng Rong pursed her lips. "Tsk, the three of us only got one meal voucher. How dare you say that."
Li Lan snorted, "This resort just wants to express its attitude and then use money to settle the matter. Do you really think that they are sincerely serving us?"
Ma Fangfang sighed, "Looks like I won't be able to get my diamond ring back."
"Alright, thirty thousand yuan isn't a small amount. You should be happy," Zheng Rong said with a smile.
Ma Fangfang shrugged her shoulders. "How should I put it? I think that the diamond ring is more important. After all, a diamond ring can be worn for a lifetime. It's an eternal memory for a woman."
Zheng Rong shook her head. "Silly sister, there's no such thing as forever. Those stinky men are unreliable. Who knows when they'll have a change of heart. When they're gone, it'll be even more heartbreaking to keep the diamond ring. "
Li Lan glared at Zheng Rong. "Alright, she's finally happy, and you're talking about this again."
"Alright, I won't say anymore."
Ma Fangfang sat on the sofa and frowned, deep in thought.
Zheng Rong took a sip of beer. "Fangfang, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about how to tell Xiaolong about this. Although the resort is willing to pay, the diamond ring is still lost. I'm afraid that Xiaolong will feel uncomfortable," Ma Fangfang said.
"I realize that you're quite strange. I didn't feel that you cared about him that much before," Zheng Rong said with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm a little puzzled too," Li Lan said.
"I'm not sure …" Ma Fangfang lowered her head. After a while, she continued, "Losing the diamond ring is my fault. When I think that this mistake might cause us to break up, I feel a little uncomfortable. Instead, I cherish my relationship with him even more."
Li Lan nodded and sighed. "Everyone has a heart that worries about gain and loss. Only when you're about to lose something do you know how to cherish it. Especially when it's lost because of your own mistake, it makes you cherish it even more."
Ma Fangfang spread her hands. "Maybe. You guys help me think of an idea on how to tell Xiaolong."
"Pfft, what's so difficult about that?" Zheng Rong said indifferently. "Just don't tell him. You can just buy a similar diamond ring for yourself."
Ma Fangfang hesitated for a moment and said, "How can a diamond ring be exactly the same? There will be some differences. What if he sees through it?"
Zheng Rong chuckled. "You're thinking too much. Most men don't care about diamond rings. It won't take a month, no, even half a month, for men to forget the appearance of that diamond ring."
"If you buy a similar diamond ring, your boyfriend definitely won't be able to tell."
Ma Fangfang was dubious. "Really?"
…
Building 21.
Building 21 had three floors. The burglary took place in Room 101.
Han Bin and his team arrived at the scene in a ferry.
After getting off the bus, Han Bin observed the surrounding environment and identified the approximate location. "This place doesn't seem to be too far from the gate."
Li Hui rubbed his nose. The area of the resort was too big, so he really couldn't tell.
"Where were the footprints found?"
"At the back window of the building. You can't see it from here. You have to go around to the back." Zhao Ming responded and led Han Bin to the back of the building.
This small building was also built against the mountain. The window was only a meter above the ground, so it was very easy to climb up.
There was a vague footprint on the windowsill. It was probably only a quarter of the complete footprint.
In fact, most of the time, the footprints at the crime scene were not particularly complete. It was normal to have a piece missing or missing.
On the contrary, it was not common to leave a complete footprint.
For example, the footprint on the windowsill was only a third of the way there. It was very likely that the suspect accidentally stepped on a puddle or mud puddle.
If the footprint was incomplete, it would increase the difficulty of identification.
Han Bin looked around the windowsill. There were tiles all around, so there were no obvious footprints.
"How many footprints did you find?"
"Three. One on the windowsill and two more in the house. However, the footprints on those two places are even shallower," Li Hui said.
Han Bin looked at the photos of the three footprints on his phone. They were all from the right foot. The footprint on the windowsill was the most obvious. One could see about a third of it. The other two footprints were lighter than the other.
It was very difficult to find the murderer based on just this incomplete footprint.
However, after some research, Han Bin found some clues. However, he still had to analyze it according to the actual situation at the scene.
Before actually inspecting the scene, Han Bin did not want to make a conclusion too early.
Then, Han Bin and his team entered Room 101.
The room had one bedroom and one living room. The living room and bedroom were very large. There was also a large round bath.
The room was very messy, and there were obvious signs that it had been rummaged through. Han Bin looked carefully and asked, "Did you find the suspect's fingerprints and DNA?"
"I found the owner's fingerprints, but I didn't find the suspect's fingerprints. It's very likely that he committed the crime with gloves," Li Hui said.
Han Bin walked to the windowsill and carefully looked at the footprints left by the suspect. It was the same as what he saw in the photo. The footprint on the windowsill was the deepest, and the two footprints behind it were getting closer and closer.
However, because of the different posture and force exertion, there were still some differences in the footprints.
The first footprint was climbing, the second was landing, and the third was a normal walking posture.
After a comprehensive analysis, he could still analyze some of the suspect's characteristics.
"Who reported the crime?"
"It's the tenant of the house. We've already made a statement," Li Hui recalled and said.
"There's a couple living in this room. They went to the bar to drink at around eight o 'clock last night and came back at around ten o' clock. When they arrived at the room, they found the room in a mess. It's very likely that it was visited by a burglar, so they called the police."
"What's the specific time?" Han Bin asked.
"They can't remember, but there's a surveillance camera at the entrance of this building. We can find out the exact time they entered and left. As for the time of the report, it was at ten forty-five in the evening. "
"According to Sergeant Huang, they arrived at around twelve o 'clock. At that time, they checked the place, then sealed off the scene and left."
"Because it was a burglary, it was reported to the branch office. At around eight o 'clock in the morning, I brought people to the resort. You know what happened after that."
Han Bin touched his chin. "What was stolen from the owner?"
Li Hui flipped through the notebook. "A Rolex watch, a belt, a gold necklace, a lady's LV bag, and more than thirty thousand yuan in cash."
Han Bin frowned. "More than thirty thousand yuan in cash?"
"Yes."
"Now that mobile payments are so convenient, why would he bring so much cash with him?" Han Bin had only brought five hundred yuan in cash for this trip, and he hadn't spent a single cent yet. The cash was for emergencies.
Li Hui answered, "I had some doubts about this at the time. The owner is only in his thirties this year, so logically speaking, he should know how to use a mobile phone. At that time, I also asked him about this. According to him, he wasn't used to mobile payments and preferred the feeling of paying in cash. "
In Han Bin's opinion, this reason was a little far-fetched. Even if he didn't like to pay with his phone, he could still pay with a card.
In the past, it might seem cool to have tens of thousands of yuan to spend.
But now, very few people did that, and it was even a little ridiculous.
