At Han Bin's order, everyone began to search separately.
Lou Hexiang sat on the sofa and looked at the wall in front of him. No one knew if he was thinking about something or in a daze.
Everyone searched for half an hour and turned the entire house upside down, but they still did not find any evidence related to Jin Zhiwen's murder, nor did they find the clothes Lou Hexiang wore that day.
Lou Hexiang spread his hands. "Captain Han, I've said it before. The innocent are innocent."
Han Bin's expression was as usual. It was unlikely that the suspect would bring the crime tools home after committing the crime. Han Bin had also solved many cases, so how could he not understand this?
Before arresting Lou Hexiang, Han Bin had considered this point. He had put Li Hui in charge of investigating Lou Hexiang's whereabouts when he left Jin Zhiwen's house because he suspected that Lou Hexiang might dispose of the crime tools.
On the way to escort Lou Hexiang, Han Bin received a call from Li Hui.
"Captain Han, Lou Hexiang did not return the way he came after committing the crime. I checked the surveillance along the way and found that he went near Minxin River. It's very likely that he threw the crime tools into Minxin River."
"Send me the address. I'll go there now."
…
Twenty minutes later, Han Bin arrived at Minxin River. The area was relatively empty and windy.
Li Hui greeted him. "Captain Han."
"How's the investigation going?"
"I followed the surveillance all the way. Lou Hexiang walked to the intersection of Minxin Road and Changsheng Street, and then there was no trace of him. I suspect that he should have been here."
Han Bin said, "Even if he came here to throw away the crime tools, he will definitely leave. Do you have any surveillance footage of him leaving? This way, we can determine the exact location of the crime tools as soon as possible."
Li Hui said, "I haven't found it yet."
Han Bin said, "We didn't find the clothes he wore when he committed the crime in Lou Hexiang's house, which means that he not only threw away the crime tools but also his clothes. He may have even disguised himself when he left.
Show me the surveillance footage of the surrounding area. "
Before checking the surveillance footage, Han Bin had a general speculation. Lou Hexiang might have gone home directly after throwing away the crime tools. From this, he could roughly guess the time and location of his appearance. As long as he had a certain level of criminal investigation experience, this was not difficult.
Lou Hexiang last appeared at the intersection of Minxin Road and Changsheng Street at 9: 15 pm. It took him about 5 to 30 minutes to throw away the crime tools and clothes in Minxin River.
Han Bin actually inspected some of the Minxin River near Changsheng Street and roughly found a few places where Lou Hexiang might appear. He then estimated the time based on the distance and checked the surveillance cameras. This way, compared to blindly checking the surveillance cameras, saved a lot of time.
Han Bin's observation skills were far better than the average person's. He checked the surveillance footage much faster than others. In less than twenty minutes, he found a suspicious figure.
. Han Liu. Han. Han Fan. Han Yan Bin's and. as. and he was because of him. H. a.. and, a... Han.
The man's appearance was quite different from Lou Hexiang's in the surveillance footage. Perhaps because of the cold weather, he walked back and forth a few steps while waiting for the car.
Han Bin observed him carefully. His walking posture was exactly the same as Lou Hexiang's.
"Pa!" Han Bin hit the spacebar. "It's him."
Han Bin concluded, "Lou Hexiang disappeared from Minxin Road and Changsheng Street. He should have thrown away the crime tools and clothes in the nearby Minxin River. Then, he walked to the intersection of Dongan Street. He should have been ready to take a taxi home. The crime tools were probably thrown in the Minxin River between Changsheng Street and Dongan Street."
"Li Hui, you are responsible for contacting the relevant departments to salvage the crime tools in Minxin River."
"Team Leader Zhu, you will investigate Lou Hexiang's next whereabouts."
"Yes." The two of them split up.
Han Bin returned to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and reported to Ding Xifeng and Feng Baoguo. At the same time, he applied for the salvage procedures.
…
It was not an easy task to salvage the crime tools in the river. Moreover, it was winter now. The river was very cold, which made it more difficult to salvage.
However, there was news from Zhu Jiaxu in the afternoon.
Just as Han Bin had guessed, Lou Hexiang had indeed left in a taxi. Wang Xiao found the taxi driver and asked him to come to the police station to make a statement.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the driver arrived at the Yu Hua Branch on time.
Han Bin happened to be free, so he personally took the statement for him.
The driver looked to be in his forties. He was holding a large glass of water in his hand and wore a black down jacket. When he smiled, his teeth were yellow. He was probably a heavy smoker.
"Hello, police comrade. My name is Shen Binlong, an employee of Jin Fei Taxi Company. I picked up a passenger near Minxin River the night before yesterday."
Han Bin looked at him and smiled. "Hello, Master Shen. I am Han Bin from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit. I will take your statement."
Shen Binlong was stunned. "Isn't this the Yu Hua Branch? Why are you a comrade from the Municipal Public Security Bureau? "
"The case we are investigating is quite complicated. It has become a special joint investigation team. There are comrades from the Municipal Public Security Bureau and colleagues from the Yu Hua Branch."
"I understand. Go ahead. Since it is a big case, I must participate in it. We can't make a fool of ourselves at this critical moment. We can't embarrass taxi drivers."
Han Bin smiled. "Then I will thank you in advance. I will ask you a few questions later. Just answer them truthfully."
"No problem. Ask away."
Han Bin sorted out his thoughts. "The night before yesterday at 9: 40 pm, did you pick up a male passenger at the intersection of Minxin Road and Dong 'an Street?"
"Yes, I've pulled one before. He doesn't sound very old."
"Did you see what he looked like?"
"No, he was wearing a mask the whole time. I have a deep impression of him. It was reasonable to say that people who wore masks were more particular and knew how to take care of themselves. But he's different. The clothes he wore that day were relatively thin, and he only wore a black leather jacket. He was so cold that he was shivering like a grandson. He even shivered when he spoke. "
This was the same as Han Bin's speculation. Lou Hexiang was not experienced in committing crimes, and he did not think enough. He did not bring too many clothes, so after throwing away the bloody clothes, the remaining clothes must be thin. That was why he did not walk home but took a taxi instead.
"Where did this passenger get off from?"
"I think it was near the Guomao District."
"Did you see him enter the district?"
Shen Binlong shook his head. "No. I dropped him off and drove away. I didn't notice."
The Guomao District was Lou Hexiang's neighborhood. There was a surveillance camera at the entrance of the district. Han Bin had checked the surveillance camera, but he did not see Lou Hexiang return to the district.
When Lou Hexiang returned to the Guomao District, it was already around 10 pm. There should be no one in the district at that time. Han Bin guessed that the other party might have climbed over the wall and entered the yard to avoid the surveillance camera.
Han Bin asked, "Mr. Shen, do you remember what the passenger looked like? Can you recognize him if you look at the photo? "
Shen Binlong hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "No, he was wearing a mask, and the light in the car was dim. I couldn't see him clearly. Plus, I was driving forward, so I couldn't look back, so I couldn't recognize him."
Although they had already guessed this possibility, the people present were still somewhat disappointed. If Shen Binlong could identify Lou Hexiang, the case investigation would be much easier.
Shen Binlong had a curious look on his face. "Officer Han, what did the kid I pulled over do? Is he a ruthless person? "
Han Bin did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Sort of."
Shen Binlong laughed at himself. "They say that it's dangerous to be a police officer. Actually, taxi drivers are quite dangerous too. At least you know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. I'm sitting in the same car with him and I'm still talking nonsense. "
Han Bin asked subconsciously, "Mr. Shen, do you have a recording device in your car?"
"Yes, my car recorder is recording."
Upon hearing this, Han Bin was delighted, but then he had another worry …
