Because there were many victims, Han Bin and Guo Tianxu did not stay idle.
Han Bin was giving a statement to a man in his thirties. The man was wearing a cap, and he looked a little depressed.
Han Bin glanced at him and routinely asked, "Name, age, address …"
"My surname is Ao, and my name is Ao Jialiang. I live in the Hui 'an community behind. I'm 31 years old this year …"
"Tell me about your situation."
"My car was parked here at 7 pm. When I came back at about 7 am this morning, I found that my car's window had been smashed, and it was the front windshield. How bad is this person? I can't even drive my car to repair it."
"What's the model of your car? What's your license plate number?"
"My car is a white Hyundai with the license plate number Lu B4H88. It's parked in front. I just bought it two years ago, and I haven't paid off the car loan yet. Now that my car has been smashed, I'm so depressed."
"Other than the broken window, is there any other damage or abnormality to your car?"
"No."
"Does your car often park here?"
"Usually, when I come back early, I try to park in the yard. It's safer to park in my own community, but generally, I can't get a parking space. There's no parking space in the community, so I can only park outside. We can't do anything about it, and we can't solve it with the government. "
"Has your car been damaged before?"
Ao Jialiang thought about it. "Yes, but not as serious as this time."
"What was the reason for the last time?"
"It was also because of the parking." Ao Jialiang glanced around and pointed to a tree in front of him. "I remember that last time, someone knocked on my rear windshield in this area. He knocked so hard that he almost broke the window."
"Who knocked on your window?"
Ao Jialiang said, "It's a bit long to explain. There's a night market in this area, and it's usually open from 6 pm to 7: 30 pm. The people who set up the night market don't follow the rules. It's already 7: 30 pm, but they still refuse to close. Once, I parked my car on the side of the road. Before I could even park my car properly, I heard banging sounds. Someone was knocking on my car's window from behind. It sounded like the glass was about to shatter. I quickly got out of the car to check. "
"I saw a woman in her forties with a bag on her back. She was banging on my car window and cursing. I went to talk to her, but she was even fiercer than I was. She even scolded me for not having eyes. She asked why I blocked her stall with my car and affected her business."
"I was just about to argue with him when a young man in his twenties rushed over. He pointed at my nose and scolded me. If my wife hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten him up." The more Ao Jialiang spoke, the angrier he got. "Police comrade, you don't know how rude these people are. They don't even have any manners. They're really bad people."
Han Bin concluded, "You suspect that the vendor smashed your car out of revenge?"
"I'm not the only one. These vendors don't like us parking, and there have been many conflicts because of this. They don't want us to park here the most, and they can't wait for more stalls. "
Han Bin asked, "Is there no one to manage the stalls?"
"Yes, why not? If there's no one to manage them, they can open until midnight. Do you believe me? However, it's one thing to manage them. They want to stay longer if they can. Sometimes, when it's half past seven, we'll drive our car over. We're afraid that there won't be any seats if we're late, "Ao Jialiang said as he gestured with his hands.
"At this time, they should be closing their stalls. As long as they close their stalls, we'll park directly on the sidewalk. However, as long as the urban management doesn't urge us, they won't close their stalls. It's useless even if we urge them, so we all park our cars by the roadside, which is under the sidewalk."
"That's where the conflict starts. When we stop by the roadside, they think that we're affecting the flow of customers, so they make a fuss. Naturally, there's a conflict."
Han Bin roughly understood the conflict between them and asked, "How many stalls are there in this area? Are the stalls fixed? "
"It's fixed. I'm not sure how many there are, but there are all kinds of stalls selling vegetables, fruits, and cooked food. There are a lot of people at night, and this road is basically blocked."
Han Bin said, "Isn't this a convenience for the residents around here?"
Ao Jialiang pursed his lips. "I don't want this convenience. In the past, there were many stalls around our neighborhood. Now that the night market is open, the surrounding stalls are half-dead. More than half of them have closed down. One of my favorite delicatessens has also closed down. Although there are also cooked food stalls in this night market, the taste is far inferior. "
Han Bin understood the conflict between them. It was hard to say if the stalls were suspicious, but they did have a motive.
The car was damaged on the sidewalk. As long as the suspect couldn't be found, the owner would naturally not dare to leave the car there again. The stall owners would then be able to carry on with their business in peace.
After Han Bin was done with his statement, he looked around. There was a green belt beside the sidewalk, and there were no surveillance cameras. However, there were many shops across the road that had surveillance cameras installed in front of them.
Han Bin ordered Yanzi and Small Eye to collect the surveillance cameras of the surrounding shops to see if they could find any suspicious people.
Han Bin walked around the scene and carefully observed the damaged cars. Some were expensive, some were cheap, and they had suffered different degrees of damage. The total amount of damage was not small.
Han Bin walked to Guo Tianxu's side. "Sir, a few cars have been damaged. I think the amount of damage is not small. It should be considered a criminal case."
Guo Tianxu nodded. "From the situation at the scene, it has already constituted the crime of intentional damage to property and theft. If our police station doesn't have the ability to investigate, we can indeed hand it over to the branch's Criminal Investigation Unit. However, you are from the city's Criminal Investigation Unit, so it shouldn't be a big case for you."
"The case itself is not a big problem, but we need to investigate the scene and collect fingerprints. These are all things that our police station can't do."
Guo Tianxu thought about it and agreed. No matter how capable Han Bin was, he was only one person. It was impossible for him to do all the work of the Criminal Investigation Unit alone.
Everyone had their own specialties.
Guo Tianxu walked to the side to make a phone call.
After the other team members finished their statements, Han Bin checked the contents. The rest of the car owners said the same things as Ao Jialiang. Some of them also mentioned the night market vendors.
Half an hour later, the branch's Criminal Investigation Unit arrived.
The leader was a woman in her thirties. She walked briskly and had a valiant air about her.
Han Bin smiled. It was someone he knew, Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying was originally the team leader of Yu Hua Branch's Third Squadron, Team Two. She was later promoted to the acting team leader of Team Two. Han Bin knew her when he first entered Yu Hua Branch.
Guo Tianxu went forward and greeted Zhao Ying.
Han Bin also walked over. "Sister Zhao."
Zhao Ying was stunned. She did not expect Han Bin to be here. She asked, "Captain Han, why are you here? The city's Criminal Investigation Unit is also involved in this case?"
