There were surveillance cameras around the crime scene but the surveillance cameras were broken during the investigation. This could be a big or small matter. If the surveillance cameras were really broken, it could be an accident.
If the surveillance cameras were destroyed by the suspect, it could be forgiven.
But if the surveillance cameras captured the crime scene and someone deliberately hid the evidence, then it would be a big problem.
When Han Bin heard about this, he immediately rushed to the scene.
The gatekeeper, Master Song, was already sweating profusely. He kept explaining, "Sir, the surveillance cameras are really broken. I'm not lying to you."
Zhang Shungu said, "I asked you when it was broken and you said it was yesterday. I said I didn't want to see yesterday's video and you said it was broken a while ago. Which one do you want me to believe?"
"I … My leader told me to say that."
"Why did your leader tell you to say that?"
Master Song lowered his head.
Zhang Shungu frowned, "Look, it's the same thing again. Every time I ask you this, you're stuck. What are you hiding? "
"I'm not hiding anything."
"Then why can't you say it?"
Master Song lowered his head again.
Han Bin observed from the side for a while and understood the situation. This Master Song was taking advantage of his seniority. Although he looked nervous, he didn't believe that the police could do anything to him. Hence, he didn't explain the situation seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense. Cuff him first."
"Yes."
Zhang Shungu was a little aggrieved. After hearing Han Bin's words, he didn't stand on ceremony. He immediately held Master Song down. Qi Shanghai handcuffed the old man.
Master Song was stunned, "What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? "
Han Bin said, "Obstructing law enforcement. Is there a problem?"
Master Song questioned, "What do you mean by obstructing law enforcement? I'm just a gatekeeper. I didn't hit you, scold you, or stop you. How is that obstructing law enforcement?"
Zhang Shungu replied, "You lied to the police. My law enforcement recorder recorded everything clearly. Do you want to replay it?"
Master Song was terrified, "I already said that my manager told me to say that."
"You are you. Your manager is your manager. Explain your situation clearly first. We'll talk to your manager."
"I … If I say it clearly, I'll probably lose my job."
"If you lose your job, you can always find another one. If you are arrested by the Public Security Bureau, you will also lose your job. It's hard to say if you can find another one."
"I … I say …" Master Song was shocked. He was not young anymore. He couldn't do any heavy work. He could only be a guard. If it was really like what Han Bin said, no one would want him if he was arrested and sent to the Public Security Bureau. That would be a big loss.
"Our district's surveillance cameras have been broken for a long time. I've also talked to the manager about it, but the manager said that this district doesn't have much property management fees. After deducting the miscellaneous expenses, it's just enough to pay the employees' salaries. There's no extra money to replace the surveillance cameras, so it's just left here. Using our manager's words, this thing is just to scare people. It's fine as long as we have it. It doesn't matter if it can be used or not. It also saves electricity."
Zhang Shungu said, "If you think it's too expensive to buy a new one, won't you repair it?"
"It was broken before, and it's been repaired. After it broke this time, we found someone to repair it, but the maintenance staff said that some parts were broken and needed to be replaced. Also, the maintenance staff didn't recommend us to repair it. In his words, the whole camera is old. Even if we replace the broken part with a new one, we might need to replace other parts next time. It's better to buy a new one. It's more cost-effective than repairing it. He even recommended a new camera model to us. "
Zhang Shungu said, "But you can't keep lying to the residents. If you don't have enough money, you can ask the residents to raise it. Just like now, if something really happens, who's going to be responsible?"
"Police comrade, you don't know. If we can really collect money, we don't need the money for the camera. A camera isn't expensive. Some residents even install cameras in front of their doors. But if you ask them to raise money to buy a camera, it'll be very difficult. They just can't collect the money. "Master Song sighed.
"Actually, I also know that it's not good to lie to people. I've told the manager about it and asked him to replace the camera as soon as possible. But the manager said that the property management company can't collect the money. The company's situation is very difficult. If we really want to replace the camera, some of the employees' salaries might be delayed for a while.
When I heard that, I didn't want to do it. I'm not stupid. I was the one who suggested it. If they really want to deduct the employees' salaries, I definitely won't be able to escape. The residents in this community aren't willing to pay for the camera themselves. Why should I help them buy it? "
Han Bin said, "Really?"
Master Song stretched out three fingers. "It's true, police comrade. I swear to God that I'm not lying."
Han Bin saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he asked, "What's the name of the manager you're talking about? Which property management company is he from? "
"His surname is Dong. I usually call him Manager Dong. I'm not sure what his name is exactly. We're from Huaxiang Property Management Company. "
Han Bin said to Zhang Shungu, "You can check with Manager Dong. Also, the people from the technology department are here. Ask them to check the camera at the door. See when it was broken, and if it was damaged naturally or by someone."
"Yes."
Han Bin continued to instruct, "He Yingsheng."
"Captain Han."
"You're in charge of collecting the surveillance around the community. See if you can find any traces of the suspect."
"Yes."
"The two of you stay here with your men. The rest of you, follow me back to the bureau."
When they returned to the bureau, it was almost noon. Han Bin had been running around the whole morning.
After a simple meal at the cafeteria, Han Bin returned to his office.
On his desk, there were two case files. Han Bin used criminal psychology analysis to profile the murderer of the two cases.
However, he didn't know if it was because it was his first time using this skill, so the effect wasn't ideal. There were some similarities between the two cases, but the profiling results weren't exactly the same.
First of all, the time interval between the crimes was more than two years, and the connection between the two victims hadn't been found yet.
If there was anything in common between the two victims, it would be that the victims had done immoral things. One loved to gossip and gossip about others. The other didn't care about others' feelings and smoked in public.
Although these two reasons were hateful, it wasn't to the extent of killing someone.
If the murderer really killed someone because of these two reasons, then the murderer was likely to have some moral cleanliness. He wanted to be like Zorro, who enforced justice on behalf of the heavens. To a certain extent, he had to be more radical.
However, this didn't match the profiling results that Han Bin had obtained from the crime scene analysis. The suspect didn't seem like a paranoid murderer when it came to the details of the crime.
Thinking of this, Han Bin wanted to go to the scene of the 821 case. With his extraordinary observation skills, he might find something new …
