A few minutes later, Han Bin called Chen San to the off-road vehicle.
Chen San was also a quick-witted person. As soon as he got in the car, he quickly greeted, "Captain Zeng, Brother Bin."
Zeng Ping sized him up and warned, "Han Bin has told me about you. It's a good thing that you want to turn over a new leaf and make up for your mistakes, but I still have to remind you not to go down that path again."
"Yes, yes, I was young and ignorant back then. Later, with Brother Bin's education and help, I've turned over a new leaf. I won't dare to commit any more crimes in the future." Chen San patted his chest and promised.
"I hope you can keep your word," Zeng Ping said.
"I will." Chen San quickly nodded.
"Tell me about your stalking," Han Bin reminded.
"This morning, around nine o 'clock, the two people I stalked went out. I asked Brother Bin for permission and followed them all the way to Midnight Cafe. They met up with a man in his twenties. He looked like a rich man," Chen San said.
"Do you have a picture?"
"Yes." Chen San took out his phone and showed it to the two.
Han Bin glanced at it and said to Zeng Ping, "It's Luo Xinghua."
"What did the three of them do?" Zeng Ping asked.
"I didn't dare to get too close, so I couldn't hear what they were talking about. But Luo Xinghua gave them a travel bag," Chen San said and showed them the picture on his phone.
"Do you know what it was?"
"I didn't know at first. I just felt that the bag was heavy."
Chen San shook his head and then revealed an envious look. "Later, the two of them left the cafe and went to the bank. I followed them and got a number. Guess what?"
"It was money?" Han Bin guessed.
"Five hundred thousand."
Chen San stretched out his hand and smacked his lips. "Two bank tellers were counting the money. They were counting the money so fast. One after another, there were fifty stacks of red banknotes. This is the first time I've seen so much real money in my life. I'm not afraid to laugh at you, but my eyes were about to blur from looking at it."
"You said on the phone that Xiang Hongbo picked up a phone call and rushed to the hotel in a hurry. He was also cursing. Do you know what he was saying?" Han Bin asked.
"He shouted quite loudly at that time. First, he cursed a few words, and then he said that he must have done it. That bastard burned the bridge after crossing it. He actually stole the phone. If I'm angry, I'll fight it out with him."
Han Bin took out his phone and pulled up a surveillance photo. "Look at this photo carefully."
"Is this the kid who stole from the hotel?" Chen San asked.
Han Bin nodded. "Do you know him?"
"The kid covered himself up too tightly. He wore a hat and lowered his head. I couldn't see his face at all. If he wasn't someone I knew, it would be difficult to recognize him." Chen San touched his chin and said,
"Why don't I go ask around?"
"No need. We'll think of another way," Han Bin said.
"Captain Zeng, Brother Bin, do you have any other orders?" Chen San asked.
Han Bin glanced at Zeng Ping. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he said, "No. You've been watching for the whole night. Go back and get some sleep."
"Big brothers, I'm leaving." Chen San said. He looked through the window for a while before getting out of the car and leaving.
Zeng Ping took out two cigarettes and handed one to Han Bin. "Five hundred thousand is not a small number."
Han Bin took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Zeng Ping. "Go to the bank and get the surveillance records."
"According to Chen San's description, Xiang Hongbo mentioned his phone after the room was stolen. Could it be He Shirui's phone?" Zeng Ping analyzed.
"If there's evidence of Luo Xinghua's murder in the phone, and Xiang Hongbo and Tang Yu used it to blackmail him, then it makes sense," Han Bin said.
"This theft might be a breakthrough for the female corpses case," Zeng Ping said.
"Da da" Li Hui knocked on the car window, then opened the door and walked in. He asked curiously,
He asked curiously, "Captain Zeng, what are you two whispering about?"
"We're talking about how to catch the thief," Han Bin said.
"In my opinion, our team is short on manpower, so we should focus on the female corpses case. Let the station handle the theft case. Once Captain Sun finds something related to the female corpses case, he'll definitely tell us," Li Hui said.
"The key clue to the Female Corpses Case might be related to this theft. Now, we need to focus on solving this theft as soon as possible. If we wait for the police station to solve the case and provide the clues, it might be too late," Zeng Ping said.
"What kind of important clue?" Li Hui asked curiously.
Han Bin took a drag on his cigarette. "We're guessing that the thief's target is He Shirui's phone."
"Who would want to steal He Shirui's phone? Could it be Luo Xinghua? "Li Hui guessed.
"From the current evidence, Luo Xinghua is very suspicious."
"Doesn't that mean the three of them are fighting among themselves?"
"Just because they're fighting among themselves, we should change the direction of our investigation. The more we push them, the more united they'll be. If we look for other clues, they might continue to fight among themselves. If there's a rift between the three of them, we can take them down one by one." Zeng Ping smiled.
"Captain Zeng is the best. You saw through the key with just one look." Han Bin gave him a thumbs up.
"You're not bad yourself to be able to plan ahead." Zeng Ping smiled.
Li Hui rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Let's flatter each other and reach the peak of our lives."
"What are you mumbling about?" Zeng Ping asked.
Li Hui scratched his head and smiled. "I'm saying that I should use you guys as role models to improve my criminal investigation skills. I want to be a good police officer with good morals, intelligence, and physique."
Zeng Ping and Han Bin said at the same time, "Flatterer!"
Li Hui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The two of you flatter each other, but when it comes to me, you become flatterers.
I'm innocent.
Zeng Ping took a deep puff and put out the cigarette. "Let's stop joking. Let's talk about how to catch the thief."
"Check the Skynet. There are so many surveillance cameras. We should be able to find traces of the thief," Li Hui suggested.
Zeng Ping nodded. Although Li Hui was repeating the same old story, it was a safer way to investigate. It was just that it would take a longer time.
Han Bin felt a bit stuffy in the car, so he turned on the air conditioner. "Are there any clues in Room 405 of the hotel?"
"I've checked Room 405, and I've read the statement of the owner. There are no obvious clues," Li Hui said.
Han Bin thought for a moment. "Captain Zeng, I have an immature suggestion."
"Then why don't you say it, and we can discuss it."
"If the thief's mastermind is Luo Xinghua, they must be in contact. I suggest we check Luo Xinghua's communication records before and after the crime to see if there are any contacts that match the time," Han Bin said.
Zeng Ping smiled. "That's a good idea. That contact is probably the thief. We just need to follow the clues and catch the culprit."
Li Hui's eyes lit up. He thought to himself, Damn, the case can be handled this way. Why didn't I think of that?
