Han Bin found the technical team and asked for the specific reason.
According to the technical team's appraisal, the video had not been tampered with and there were no missing parts.
If it was as Han Bin had speculated, the driver might not have used the car recorder during that period of time. Naturally, it wouldn't have been able to record it and restore the video.
This conclusion didn't stump Han Bin.
Han Bin anxiously split up to investigate.
The first direction of investigation was Skynet's surveillance to check the specific route of Zhang Hang's Mercedes.
The second direction of investigation was to contact the Mercedes Benz manufacturer and ask for their help to retrieve the car's GPS track.
With both methods, the Mercedes Benz's whereabouts were quickly determined.
Han Bin's guess was right.
On June 5th, Zhang Hang didn't go home immediately after work. Instead, he drove the Mercedes Benz around before returning home.
Through Skynet's surveillance and the GPS track, they determined two locations where the suspect had stopped.
These two locations were most likely where the stolen goods were stored.
The first parking location was near the suburbs and the second was at Coney Hotel.
After Han Bin reported the situation to Ding Xifeng, Ding Xifeng brought his men to the suburbs while Han Bin brought his men to the hotel.
Ding Xifeng was experienced. As he rushed to the location, he used the search dogs, hoping to find the stolen goods through the victims' scent.
The first parking location was rather remote. To the north was a field, in the middle was a driveway, and to the south was a forest belt. Further south was the railway track. It was not easy to hide things there.
Fortunately, Ding Xifeng had the foresight to use Liu Lingzui and Zhang Hang's belongings as a source of smell and got the search dogs to help.
…
Han Bin wasn't slow either.
When he brought his men to Coney Hotel, he realized that it was surrounded by a commercial area. It was difficult to determine where the stolen goods were hidden.
Han Bin sent his men out and took Bao Xing to Coney Hotel.
Due to the impact of the pandemic, the tourism industry had yet to recover. There weren't many guests in the hotel and many rooms were 50% off.
The front desk seemed to have reduced its staff as well. There was only one beautiful waitress.
Han Bin flashed his police badge. "Hello, I'm looking for a customer."
The waitress looked at Han Bin, then at his police ID. She paused for a moment. "Officer, what kind of customer are you looking for?"
"That person is called Zhang Hang. Help me check if he has any records of getting a room at your hotel."
The waitress hesitated for a moment. "I'm afraid I can't. I don't have the authority."
Bao Xing said, "We, the police, have jurisdiction. We won't make things difficult for you. Go ahead and investigate."
"Please wait a moment, I have to report to the manager."
Han Bin smiled. "Hurry up and don't make things too complicated. Trust me, your manager won't want to see this happen."
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." The waitress quickly picked up the phone and made the call.
After a while, a woman in her thirties ran over. She glanced at Han Bin and asked, "Excuse me, are you two police officers?"
Han Bin flashed his police badge. "We are from the city's criminal investigation team. We suspect that your hotel is harboring stolen goods. Please cooperate with our investigation."
"Aiyo, Officer Han, is there any misunderstanding? That's impossible. We are a legitimate hotel. We definitely didn't do anything illegal." The woman quickly explained and introduced herself.
"I am the hotel's lobby manager, Yang Jia. If you need anything, you can tell me. Our hotel will definitely cooperate."
Han Bin said again, "Help me check on someone."
"No problem. Not to mention one, even ten wouldn't be a problem." Yang Jia responded and winked at the receptionist.
"Check on a man called Zhang Hang. He probably checked in on June 5th," Han Bin said.
Yang Jia said to the receptionist, "Listen to the police and quickly investigate."
The waitress quickly operated on the computer. After a while, she shook her head. "There's no such person."
Yang Jia breathed a sigh of relief. "Officer Han, is there a mistake? The suspect didn't come to our hotel."
"Change the name, Liu Lingzui."
Yang Jia ordered, "Check."
The waitress operated on the computer again and shook her head again. "There's no check-in information."
Han Bin said the third name, "Zhao Yue."
"Da da …" The waitress tapped on the keyboard and bit her lips. She glanced at Yang Jia who was beside her.
Of course, this little trick couldn't be hidden from Han Bin. Before Yang Jia could react, Han Bin turned the computer screen.
Under the search bar on the screen, there was a guest's check-in information. Sure enough, there was a female guest named Zhao Yue.
Han Bin said with a straight face, "What's going on with your hotel? Not only did you find the suspect, but you're also winking at me. Is there something wrong?"
Yang Jia quickly said, "Nothing, nothing. Officer Han, don't misunderstand. It's really nothing. This girl isn't smart enough to be a receptionist at the front desk. I was thinking of replacing her. "
Han Bin snorted. "It's not that she's not smart, she's too smart."
"Yes, yes, yes. It's nothing. She's just thinking too much. I'll do it myself. I'll fully cooperate with the police." Yang Jia walked to the counter and asked the waitress to stand aside while she operated the computer.
Han Bin didn't say anything. He just looked at the computer screen quietly.
After Yang Jia checked it, she said, "Officer Han, the Zhao Yue you're looking for, she booked a room in the hotel and paid for it for ten days in advance. She also told us not to clean it."
"Take me to her."
Yang Jia only hesitated for a moment before she agreed. "Okay, I'll look for the room card."
"Where's your hotel's surveillance room?"
"On the second floor."
"Take me to the surveillance room first."
Yang Jia told the waitress to look for the room card while she took Han Bin to the surveillance room.
After arriving at the surveillance room, Han Bin immediately pulled up the surveillance footage from June 5th. He found that Zhang Hang had indeed come to the hotel and booked a room under Zhao Yue's name. He even brought a gray bag into the hotel room.
When he came out, he didn't have the bag in his hand.
Seeing this, Han Bin felt more confident. He immediately asked Yang Jia to take him to the room that Zhang Hang had booked.
The room number was 706.
Yang Jia swiped the room card and the door opened. Han Bin walked in directly.
There was a double bed in the room and it was very clean as if no one had lived there. Han Bin and Bao Xing searched the room carefully but didn't find the gray bag.
Finally, Han Bin set his eyes on the safe in the room.
Many hotel rooms had safes. When the guests went out, they could put their valuables into the safe and set a temporary password that only they knew.
Han Bin pointed to the safe in the wooden cabinet. "Manager Yang, help me open it."
"Let me try." Manager Yang squatted down and pressed a few numbers, but he was told that the password was wrong. "Officer Han, the guest should have used the safe. He set his own password and the original password can't open it."
"Don't tell me that the hotel can't open it," Han Bin said.
"Please wait a moment. I'll get someone to handle it," Yang Jia replied. Then, she walked to the side and made a phone call.
Not long after, Yang Jia walked over again and operated the safe. The safe's door opened with a click.
Yang Jia quickly looked inside, then moved to the side. "Officer Han, it's open."
Needless to say, Han Bin had been staring at the safe. He found a gray bag inside. After putting on his gloves, he took out the gray bag.
Han Bin opened it and saw that there were a lot of things in the bag. There were all kinds of things in it.
Mobile phone, photo frame, slippers, shaving knife, toothbrush, gloves, etc.
Han Bin took out the photo frame. There was a man and a woman in the photo. It was Zhang Hang and Liu Lingzui. The two of them were hugging each other intimately. It looked rather ironic.
