"Is it possible that the suspect left on foot?" Li Hui asked.
"I don't think that's possible. The suspect has been wearing a clown mask and costume. If he left on foot, he would have taken off the clown costume in order to not attract attention," Wei Zimo replied.
"There are two problems here. First, if the clown costume doesn't want to be discovered by the police, he could either hide it on the spot or carry it in a bag. But strictly speaking, these two methods aren't very safe. The former can be easily found by the police, but if the DNA is extracted from the mask and costume, it would be equivalent to leaving behind evidence to convict the suspect.
"If the clown costume was carried away in a bag, it would be more of a target. Not only would there be a clown costume, but there would also be a helmet. The backpack wouldn't be too small, and I would pay more attention to passersby carrying bags when I check the surveillance cameras.
"Also, the suspect didn't show his face. If he left on foot, he definitely couldn't wear the clown mask, which would increase the risk of exposing his face. If he was caught by the cameras, it would be easy for him to be exposed."
"Personally, I think that the suspect left in another vehicle, which is most likely a car."
Zeng Ping asked, "There are more than just electric cars and cars. How can you be sure that it's a car and not a motorcycle?"
"This is also my speculation. Since most of the visitors to the amusement park go by car, it would be more conspicuous if he took a motorcycle, and it would be easy for the police to target him."
Zeng Ping leaned back in his chair and frowned. "There's nothing wrong with your deduction, but this is also the biggest problem. There are hundreds of cars in the amusement park that day. If the suspect left in a car, it would be very difficult to investigate."
If they really investigated the owner, they would not only have to check the license plate number, but also the owner's statement and verify the owner's alibi. It would be too much work to complete in a short period of time.
Lynch suggested, "Then, let's send more people and ask the local police station for help. Who knows, we might really be able to find the suspect with a car."
Han Bin pondered for a moment. "Judging from the fact that the suspect bought someone else's phone number, this suspect has some anti-reconnaissance ability. I think that even if he drove a car, it's likely that he drove a car with a fake license plate."
Li Hui nodded. "Captain Han has a point. If it's really a fake car, even if we find the car, we might not be able to find the suspect's identity."
Han Bin changed the topic. "There are gains and losses. The suspect's use of this method may reduce the risk of being found out, but it also increases the risk of being exposed."
Sun Xiaopeng was a little puzzled. "Captain Han, what do you mean?"
Han Bin explained, "What I mean is very simple. Since it is difficult to check the identity of the car owner, let's directly check the license plate number. The suspect is likely to be using a car with a fake license plate. As long as the car and the license plate match, this car is likely to be the suspect's car."
"As long as we identify the suspect vehicle, even if the license plate number is fake and we can't find the owner through the license plate number, we can still track it through the surveillance cameras along the way."
After Dai Minghan heard that, he knocked on the table. "Captain Han's suggestion is not bad. It can reduce a lot of unnecessary work. Team Leader Wei, let's follow Captain Han's suggestion."
"Yes."
Everyone began to discuss how to track down Brother Zhao.
After the meeting, Dai Minghan asked Han Bin to stay and chat alone for a while.
Dai Minghan was in charge of the Criminal Investigation Unit and had too much work to arrange. It was impossible for her to put all her energy on this case, so the investigation of the case mainly depended on Han Bin.
…
After returning to the office, Han Bin and Zeng Ping discussed for a while. He would keep an eye on Team One, while Zeng Ping would be in charge of Team Two. If anything happened, the two of them would communicate in time.
The reason why Han Bin arranged it this way was because he was afraid that Zeng Ping would feel uncomfortable.
Although Han Bin was now the deputy team leader of the task force, Zeng Ping used to be his leader, so it would be difficult for him to change his mentality in a short period of time.
Everyone was in charge of a team, so there was no awkwardness of one giving orders to the other.
After arranging the work, Han Bin poured a cup of tea and sat on a chair, looking through the existing evidence while drinking tea.
So far, they had found a total of four suspects: Zhang Li, Ren Bo, Song Bohui, and Lin Hongping.
Among them, Zhang Li and Song Bohui had a close relationship with the deceased, so they had a motive to commit the crime.
As for Lin Hongping and Ren Bo, they hadn't found any relationship with the deceased yet.
"Da da …" At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded.
A man wearing glasses walked in from the outside. After seeing Han Bin, he couldn't help but laugh, "Captain Han, I was busy investigating the scene yesterday and didn't have time to say hello to you."
Han Bin stood up, "Reuven is here, no need to be so polite, sit."
Reuven handed a report to Han Bin, "Captain Han, according to your request, we found the phone number of the suspect 'Brother Zhao'. The phone number can't be reached for the time being, but we found the identity of the owner of the phone."
"Okay." Han Bin responded and took the information.
Owner, Zhao Jiabo
Gender, Male
Date of birth, July 5, 1972
Place of birth, Qindao City, Nancheng District, Xiguan Town 103
Li Hui stood behind Han Bin and stared at the information, "This owner's surname is really Zhao, and his age matches. Maybe he really is the 'Brother Zhao' that Lin Hongping mentioned."
Han Bin handed the information to Li Hui. Originally, he didn't have much hope for this phone number. In his opinion, this' Brother Zhao 'was selling the phone number, and he might have used a fake phone number.
But now, it seemed that the name and age of the owner were correct, and this Zhao Jiabo was very likely the Brother Zhao they were looking for.
Li Hui tapped on the information with his finger, looked up and asked, "Glasses, does this Zhao Jiabo have any other phone numbers under his name?"
Reuven habitually adjusted his glasses, "I didn't check this."
"Then you check it. If he has other phone numbers, locate his location."
"Got it," Reuven agreed and looked at Han Bin, "Captain Han, do you have any other orders?"
Han Bin thought about it, "Print a list of this phone number's calls. It's best if it's under his real name."
Reuven showed a hint of bitterness, "Captain Han, this is a bit difficult to check. It's best if we go to the communications company, it'll be faster."
Han Bin settled for the next best thing, "That's fine, you guys just need to be responsible for locating him."
After watching Reuven leave, Han Bin began to assign tasks, "Lynch, Mai Jun, the two of you go to the communications company and check the details of this phone number."
"The rest of you, follow me to Xiguan Town and see if you can find Zhao Jiabo."
"Yes."
When everyone packed their equipment and was about to leave, a police officer from the Internal Affairs Department came in.
"Captain Li, the suspect you just caught, Lin Hongping, said that she remembered some clues and wants to see you."
Li Hui turned his head and looked at Han Bin.
Han Bin said, "Bring her to the interrogation room first. We'll take a statement later."
"Okay," the Internal Affairs officer responded and left.
Li Hui asked, "Brother Bin, what should we do?"
"You bring Tian Li and Xiaopeng to Xiguan Town. Zhao Ming will stay and interrogate with me."
"Okay."
Han Bin patted his shoulder, "Contact me if anything happens. I'll support you."
"Got it. Tian Li, Xiaopeng, pack up and come with me. "
After Li Hui and the others left, only Han Bin and Zhao Ming were left. Han Bin felt that there was not enough manpower, so he called the municipal bureau and transferred Li Qin and Bao Xing over.
Zhao Ming yawned, "Captain Han, what are we doing now?"
"To the interrogation room."
…
In the interrogation room.
Lin Hongping sat on the interrogation chair and looked around. Her face was a little uneasy and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Creak …" The door creaked and Han Bin and Zhao Ming walked in.
Lin Hongping looked a little excited when she saw the two of them, "Officers, why did you bring me here? I said that I was wronged and I'm willing to cooperate with the police to provide clues. Why did you bring me here?"
Han Bin flipped open the notebook, "You mean you've been here before?"
"No, I'm a good person. I've never quarreled with anyone and I've never been to the police station. How could I have been to a place like this?" Lin Hongping said with a sob, "I've seen it on TV. Only bad people who have committed crimes will be questioned in a place like this. You shouldn't be talking to me here."
Han Bin said seriously, "We're just following the rules. If you feel wronged, you can help the police find the real suspect and we'll naturally send you away."
"What's the use of sending me away now? You shouldn't have arrested me at all. You took me out of the noodle house with great fanfare. How can I work in the noodle house in the future? People will think I've committed a crime. I … What have I become?" Lin Hongping burst into tears.
Han Bin walked over and handed her a few tissues. He said sincerely, "You don't have to worry. As long as you can prove your innocence, we'll personally send you back to the noodle house and explain it to your boss and colleagues. We'll also thank you in front of them for helping the police solve the case. It won't affect your work and life."
Lin Hongping asked with red eyes, "Really?"
Han Bin said firmly, "Of course it's true. I'll go to that noodle house again in the future. If the boss fires you because of this, I'll call the shots for you."
Lin Hongping looked grateful, "Thank you, officer."
