Although the burglary case was complicated, it was investigated in an orderly manner under Zheng Kaixuan's leadership.
During this period, the first person who reported the case, Xu Yan, came twice to inquire about the progress of the case.
Her father was going to have his surgery the next day, and she was very anxious, hoping to solve the case today.
The criminal police team had already split up to investigate, but there was no analysis and summary. Thus, Zheng Kaixuan couldn't give her an exact time to solve the case.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Team 1 summoned the few people with criminal records.
Team 2's Li Hui, Zhao Ming, and Tian Li had also finished looking through the surveillance footage.
Zheng Kaixuan called everyone to the meeting room to summarize the case. The clues weren't one-sided. Sometimes, they could corroborate with each other to find the suspect more accurately.
Time was tight, so Zheng Kaixuan didn't make any opening remarks. He asked directly, "Li Hui, did your team find anything from the surveillance footage?"
"We checked the surveillance footage of the elevator, the main entrance, and the underground garage before and after the crime, but we didn't find any suspicious person," Li Hui said.
"You've checked everything?"
"Yes." Li Hui nodded and analyzed, "We guessed that there are two reasons why the suspect didn't appear in the surveillance footage. The first possibility is that the suspect didn't leave the neighborhood, and he might even be a resident of the neighborhood."
"Continue."
"The second possibility is that Spiderman committed the crime. Linfang Neighborhood is surrounded by two-story shops. If the suspect could even climb up more than 30 stories, he could have left through the surrounding shops without leaving through the main entrance," Li Hui explained.
"Captain Zhao, what do you think?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
"We've already recorded the statements of the people with criminal records, including Spiderman Zhang Deshui. According to his testimony, we've investigated his whereabouts. He didn't commit the crime in the city, but went to the mountains to teach rock climbing. We can eliminate him as a suspect," Zhao Ying said.
"Are there any other suspects?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
"According to the clues provided by Zhang Deshui, someone came looking for him after he was released from prison. The person even asked him about stealing and climbing. I think this person is also a big suspect."
"Do you know who this person is?"
"Zhang Deshui is not familiar with him. He only knows that his nickname is Yongzi."
"What do you think?"
"According to the current clues, the suspect should have entered the room through the window, and high-altitude burglary requires the suspect to be of high quality. I think this is a very important direction for investigation," Zhao Ying analyzed.
"Yes." Zheng Kaixuan nodded. "Look up this person with the nickname Yongzi."
"I've already asked someone to investigate."
Zheng Kaixuan glanced around. All the members of Team 1 were present. Zhao Ying must have used an informant, so he didn't ask too much.
"Dong dong."
There was a knock on the door. Then, Han Bin opened the door and walked in.
"Captain Zheng, Captain Zhao."
"You're back." Zheng Kaixuan pointed at the chair next to the conference table and gestured for Han Bin to sit down. "Check the scene again. Did you find anything?"
Han Bin picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank a mouthful. "Nothing."
"You didn't find anything? You've been out there for so long." Zheng Kaixuan snorted.
"I went to the scene this time to check the area around the glass window. I wanted to see if the suspect left any obvious footprints when he climbed up. But after some investigation, there were no footprints on the window sill or the wall outside," Han Bin said.
"The outer wall of the building is very hard. As long as the soles are not dirty, it's hard to leave clear footprints." As an experienced criminal police officer, Zhao Ying had some understanding of footprints.
"You're right. That's what I thought in the beginning," Han Bin answered before he changed the topic of conversation.
Then, he changed the topic. "Later, I asked Zhao Ming to use a drone to take pictures of the outer wall of the building. I found that the outer wall was very clean, and there were no signs of climbing."
Zheng Kaixuan was experienced and immediately saw the problem. "When the suspect climbed up, he definitely needed to borrow strength. Even if he didn't leave obvious footprints, there would still be signs of climbing."
"Based on this clue, I speculated that the suspect didn't climb into the room," Han Bin said with certainty.
Team One's Wei Zimo was puzzled. "If he didn't enter the room through the window, then why are the windows of every house either open or broken?"
"Maybe he's misleading the police and following the wrong clues. As long as they follow the clues of climbing, they won't find him," Zheng Kaixuan analyzed.
"Where's the aerial video?" Zhao Ying asked.
"Here." Han Bin passed a tablet to Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying looked at it carefully and sighed. "There are indeed no signs of climbing. It seems that the suspect didn't enter the room through the window."
Seeing that Han Bin showed up, Li Hui and the other two straightened their backs. Without Zeng Ping, the three of them were not confident.
In addition, Team Two had only been established for a short period of time. Whether it was the number of cases solved or the rate of cases solved, they had always been suppressed by Team One. It was only after Han Bin joined Team Two that the situation changed.
"Captain Zheng, from the surveillance cameras, we didn't find any traces of the suspect. Our previous guess is that the suspect hasn't left the neighborhood, or he's a 'Spiderman.'"
Li Hui coughed lightly and struck while the iron was hot. "Now that we can eliminate the possibility of Spiderman, I guess the suspect is hiding in the neighborhood, or he's one of the residents."
"I investigated a person with a criminal record of theft today. He lives in Linfang Neighborhood," Zhao Ying said.
"Where is he?"
"Let him go." Zhao Ying sighed and explained.
"His name is Chen Kangning. He's 176cm tall and weighs about 190kg. Because of the direction of the investigation, the suspect should have climbed into the house through the window, so he's not a suspect for now."
"Get the video from the law enforcement recorder," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Yes." Wei Zimo stood up and left the meeting room.
Not long after, Wei Zimo returned with a USB flash drive in his hand. He inserted the video into the computer and played it on the projector.
In the video, there was a fat man sitting on a chair. He seemed to feel that the chair was a little small, so he twisted his body.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"Chen Kangning, male, 29 years old …"
"Chen Kangning, we asked you to come today because we need your assistance in our investigation."
"What is it?"
"There's a theft in Linfang Neighborhood. Do you know about it?"
"I haven't heard about it. When did it happen?"
"It happened in the wee hours of yesterday."
"Officer, why did you ask me to come here?" Chen Kangning's expression was uneasy.
"We want to ask where you were on August 11th at 11 am to August 12th at 5 am."
"Are you suspecting me?"
"Just a routine questioning."
"I admit that I made mistakes in the past, but I don't do it anymore. I'm now a legal citizen with a legitimate job." Chen Kangning showed a look of anger.
"Don't be agitated. We're just taking a statement, not interrogating you." Wei Zimo comforted him.
"Something happened, and you're investigating me? You're telling me not to be agitated? I just want to be a normal person. Is it so difficult?" Chen Kangning clenched his fist and showed a wronged expression.
Chen Kangning's words moved many of the police officers.
Especially Zhao Ming, Tian Li, and the rest of the young officers. Their expressions were a little ugly.
Zhao Ying's eyes were firm. From the traces of the investigation at the scene, this series of cases was definitely done by a veteran. Investigating people with criminal records was the right direction for the investigation.
When Zhao Ying first became a criminal police officer, she was willing to give people with criminal records a chance. She was also willing to try to believe them.
But her many years of experience as a police officer proved that the possibility of people with criminal records committing crimes again was much higher than ordinary people.
To a criminal police officer, rationality was more important than emotion.
If they wanted to fight crime, they must be more rational.
Only then would they be able to protect the people.
