The good thing was that if the suspect's voice was recorded, the identity of the suspect could also be confirmed after the technical department's voice detection.
The bad thing was that this was a taxi's driving recorder, which was different from ordinary private cars. It had to be driven at least a few hundred kilometers a day, and the memory card of the driving recorder might not be that big. Now that two days had passed, the audio from the night before was likely to be overwritten.
This was like a person who had been hungry for a few days suddenly picking up a box lunch, but then found out that the box lunch might have expired, and it was not certain whether he could eat it or not.
"Master Shen, can your driving recorder save the video from the night before?"
Shen Binlong thought about it. "I can't say for sure. Usually, the driving recorder is checked immediately after a car accident. It's been two days, and I can't say for sure if the memory card is enough."
Han Bin said, "Master Shen, if it's convenient, let our colleagues from the technical department check it."
"Sure, it's not a problem. My car is parked in the yard. "
Han Bin ordered, "Xiaopeng, call your colleagues from the technical department and follow Master Shen."
Twenty minutes later, there was news from the technical department that the video from the night before was indeed overwritten, and they could not view the video of Lou Hexiang's car for the time being.
However, the technical department would try to restore the video from the night before. As for whether it would succeed or not, no one could say for sure whether the original video would be destroyed.
Han Bin's heart could be said to be half happy and half worried.
…
For the next two days, Han Bin had been paying attention to the situation of the Minxin River salvage team and the technical department, but there was not much progress.
There was also no progress in the interrogation of Lou Hexiang.
Although Lou Hexiang's bloody shoe prints were found at the scene, Lou Hexiang still held a glimmer of hope. He felt that the police were deceiving him, and he did not think that shoe prints had the same legal effect as fingerprints.
In fact, Han Bin did not deceive him, and the shoe prints could also be used as evidence.
However, the premise was that there must be an expert from the provincial criminal investigation team to issue a footprint identification report. Although the people from the municipal public security bureau and Yuhua branch knew that Han Bin was an expert in footprints identification, Han Bin did not have a certificate, so it was difficult to use it legally.
However, if he wanted to obtain a footprint identification report from the criminal investigation team, the process was relatively long, and he would have to wait at least a week.
There was no other way. Everything had to go through procedures, especially when it came to human lives.
…
December 15th, noon.
On the bank of Xinxin River.
Li Hui stood by the river, nibbling on a pancake while looking at the Minxin River not far away.
In the past two days, the weather had gotten colder, and the salvage work had become very difficult. Because the temperature of the Minxin River was low in the morning and evening, and the light was dim, the salvage work could only be carried out between 11 am and 3 pm. The rest of the time, the salvage work could not be carried out. This was also the reason why the evidence had not been found.
This was an objective natural cause, and it was not something that could be changed by humans.
"Bang …" The salvage crew surfaced from the water. Li Hui stuffed the rest of the pancake into his mouth and jogged over.
The salvage crew climbed up the bank, turned off the searchlight on his head with his left hand, removed the mask on his hand, and held a backpack in his right hand.
Li Hui walked over quickly, put on his gloves, and took the backpack from the salvage crew. He held it in his hand and examined it carefully. It was exactly the same backpack that Lou Hexiang was carrying in the video.
Li Hui took a deep breath and opened his backpack. Inside was a blue down jacket and a small broken camera that had been smashed beyond recognition.
The down jacket was the same color as the suspect's, and it was stained with blood.
The color, brand, and style of the camera were the same as the one that Jin Zhiwen had lost.
"This b * stard!" Li Hui cursed. There were many parts of the small camera in the backpack, but he did not find the memory card.
The salvage crew took a breath and asked, "Team Leader Li, is this backpack the evidence you want to salvage?"
"Yes, it should be thrown away by the suspect. Is there anything else down there? For example, a knife, shoes, or something like that. "
When Han Bin searched Lou Hexiang's house again, he did not find the shoes that Lou Hexiang wore when he committed the crime. They should have been disposed of together, and he specifically told Li Hui that the shoes were also very important evidence.
"The mud at the bottom of the river is very thick, so this bag is relatively easy to find. If it was a knife, it would have likely fallen into the mud, and it would have been more difficult to find.
"How about this, you rest on the shore first, and then salvage around the backpack to see if you can find any other crime tools."
"Okay." The salvage crew responded, and the staff on the side wiped the water off his body. Someone even came over with a blanket and an electric heater.
The salvage crew rested for a while, ate something, and went into the water again half an hour later …
…
The next morning.
After Han Bin had gathered enough evidence, he interrogated Lou Hexiang again.
In the interrogation room of Yu Hua Branch.
This was the second time Lou Hexiang was arrested. Just like the last time, he was still sitting in the interrogation chair, biting the nail of his right index finger.
Han Bin sat behind the interrogation table, unhurriedly tidying up the documents. After a while, he said, "Lou Hexiang, you've been here for two days. Tell me what you think."
"Comrade police, don't waste time on me. Let me go quickly. I'm really innocent."
"Lou Hexiang, since you were arrested, I've interrogated you twice, but you refused to confess both times. Things don't happen more than three times. This time, I'm sitting here because I have full confidence."
"Hehe." Lou Hexiang laughed. "Then tell me, what evidence do you have? If you really have irrefutable evidence, I can't deny it even if I want to."
"At eight o 'clock on December 11th, you left the Guomao District and walked to Jin Zhiwen's house. Then, you entered his house and killed him. You stole Jin Zhiwen's small video camera and fabricated the scene of the robbery and murder.
When you killed Jin Zhiwen, you were stained with a lot of blood. In order to cover the blood stains on your body, you wore a black woolen coat and took a leather jacket.
After leaving Jin Zhiwen's house, you walked to the Minxin River, threw the tools, small video camera, clothes, and shoes into the river, then put on the black leather jacket. At this time, you were very cold and had no shoes, so you couldn't walk home. So, you stopped a taxi at Dong 'an Intersection and sent you back to the Guomao District.
Then, you climbed over the wall into the district, threw the black leather jacket into the trash can, and returned home. So, when we arrived at your house, we didn't find any clues related to Jin Zhiwen's case. "
Lou Hexiang looked nervous and bit the nail of his right index finger. He didn't expect Han Bin to know his whereabouts so well.
Han Bin continued, "Since the police dared to arrest you for the second time, it means that we have sufficient evidence."
Han Bin took out a photo of the night Lou Hexiang committed the crime. "In this photo, although you are dressed very tightly, I can still use professional criminal investigation methods to identify you at a glance."
Han Bin took out another photo. "This is the item we salvaged from the Minxin River. A bloody blue down jacket and a small video camera. The down jacket has Jin Zhiwen's blood on it, and your fingerprints are on the camera. Fortunately, we salvaged it in time. Otherwise, the fingerprints on it might have been dissolved by the water."
"By the way, we also have a witness, the taxi driver you took that night. He installed a driving recorder in his car. It didn't capture you, but it recorded your voice. As long as the audio file is taken to the technical department for identification, it will be enough to prove your identity.
All the above evidence can form a complete chain of evidence, so you can't deny it. "
Following Han Bin's description, Lou Hexiang's forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was pale.
Han Bin said earnestly, "Lou Hexiang, you should be very clear about the crime you committed. If you plead guilty with a good attitude, there might be hope for you to live. If you insist on doing things your own way, the police can still convict you, but no one can save you at that time."
Lou Hexiang's face changed. He sighed and said helplessly, "I didn't expect that I would still be caught by you despite my meticulous plan! I admit that I killed Jin Zhiwen. "
