"In the underground garage of this building?"
Hearing this information, Sheng Ke and Yu Fei looked at each other in astonishment.
Sheng Ke thought that it was really a case of wearing out iron shoes in fruitless searching, but finding it by chance without even looking for it! This series of thefts were scattered in several nearby office buildings. He brought Zhang Zian to this building just in case, and it turned out to be a coincidence.
Yu Fei, who didn't know the truth, was thinking about something completely different. He was worried that the property management staff might have colluded with each other.
Zhang Zian didn't explain much. He took them to the underground garage through the fire escape and opened the door of the storeroom in front of them. "All the stolen items are here. Captain Sheng, if you have a list, you can compare it to see if anything is missing. "
Yu Fei was curious and wanted to go inside, but was stopped by Sheng Ke. "Don't destroy the scene."
Sheng Ke looked around the storeroom, and his eyes fell on the ordinary cats. He asked, "Who is the suspect? Didn't you catch him? "
Zhang Zian's heart tightened. He knew that this was the most important question, so he immediately threw out the answer he had prepared. "The suspect may have left long ago. When my cats led me to this place, there was no one here. These cats were probably trained by the suspect to steal. "
He then seriously suggested, "Captain Sheng, you can arrange some people here and wait for the suspect. Maybe the suspect will come back to pick up the stolen items."
Zhang Zian's suggestion coincided with Sheng Ke's. He looked at the stolen items scattered on the ground, and silently compared them with the reported stolen items. A few of them had obvious characteristics, including the TAG Heuer that Liu Miao had lost. As for the others, he wasn't sure and needed to observe them closely. However, it was more important to protect the scene and extract footprints and fingerprints. That was why he stopped Yu Fei from going inside.
Although the stolen items were found, there were still many doubts about this series of cases. For example, where did the suspect go? Did he feel the danger and escape in advance? Those watches, handbags, and jewelry were all very easy to sell. Why didn't the suspect sell them or carry them with him?
This series of cases was very unusual from the beginning to the end. Even with Sheng Ke's years of experience, he didn't know where to start.
Zhang Zian put on a straight face and pretended to be distressed. He secretly glanced at Sheng Ke and saw that the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment was frowning, and the expression on his face was constantly changing. He knew that Sheng Ke was thinking about all kinds of puzzles in the case. Zhang Zian wanted to help, but he couldn't. He sympathized with him. This case involved elves, so it was impossible to explain and think about it with common sense. If one insisted on applying the experience of previous cases, it would only lead them further down the wrong path.
He was not worried that Sheng Ke would suspect him, because he had never stepped into the warehouse. He had only stood at the door for a while, and there were no footprints or fingerprints left.
"Captain Sheng," he said.
"Well, what can I do for you, Mr. Zhang?" Sheng Ke woke up from his contemplation.
"In my opinion, if you wait here for a few days and the suspect still hasn't shown up, then just let this matter end." Zhang Zian said sincerely. He could see that Sheng Ke was a very responsible police officer, and he even had to work overtime on weekends. He couldn't bear to waste a long time here just because of a few words from Zhang Zian.
"Captain Sheng, think about it. The suspect can use cats to steal things, and maybe he can also use cats for reconnaissance. So even if you set up surveillance here, the suspect may not necessarily be caught. I think we have already alerted the suspect. As long as the suspect is not an idiot, he should be far away. "
Sheng Ke listened, but didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Fina thoughtfully. After a moment, he said hesitantly, "Mr. Zhang, can you …"
Zhang Zian immediately refused, "No."
Sheng Ke was dumbfounded, "Mr. Zhang, I haven't gotten the answer yet."
"You don't need to ask me to guess. Either you want to borrow my cat, or you want me to take the cat to track the suspect … I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request. My cat doesn't listen to others, and I don't know anything about how to track the suspect. "Zhang Zian blocked Sheng Ke's way.
Zhang Zian did guess what Sheng Ke was thinking. In Sheng Ke's mind, the police could set up surveillance in the open, while Zhang Zian could act in the dark. But since Zhang Zian clearly refused, Sheng Ke couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, the lost items had been found, and the suspect had escaped. But how should he write the report to his superior? Sheng Ke had a headache.
"Mr. Zhang, let's go up first. Xiao Yu, please take a look here," Sheng Ke said.
Things had come to an end, so there was no need to stay here any longer. Because there was no cell phone signal in the underground garage, Sheng Ke told Yu Fei to stay at the door and not to let anyone else in until the police came.
Yu Fei listened to Sheng Ke's words obediently, and the way he looked at Zhang Zian changed. He didn't expect that this young man, who was almost the same age as him, was so capable. It only took him an hour to solve the unsolved case that had troubled the police for a long time. Although they didn't catch the suspect, finding the lost items was enough.
Sheng Ke and Zhang Zian left the underground garage one after another, and returned to the lobby on the first floor of Yuanhua Building. Fina and the invisible Old Time Tea followed them.
"Here, this is Mr. Zhang's round-trip fare." Sheng Ke took out 100 yuan from his wallet and handed it to him.
Zhang Zian pretended to decline, "No, no, Captain Sheng is too polite. How could I let you spend money? I was just joking before. "
Sheng Ke didn't feel like he was joking at that time.
He insisted on handing over the money, "Don't worry, it's not my own money. I will reimburse you when I go back. The police will pay for Mr. Zhang's round-trip fare, so you don't have to be so polite. "
Zhang Zian was waiting for him to say this. Just as he was about to take the money, a cat's paw stretched out from the side and slapped the bill from Sheng Ke's hand. They looked down and saw that it was Fina. Fina couldn't stand Zhang Zian's hesitation anymore, so it jumped up and grabbed the bill, pressing it under its paw, declaring its ownership of the bill.
Sheng Ke was speechless. Like a stingy owner, like a cat!
Zhang Zian was quite embarrassed, so he forced himself to explain, "My cat is not like this usually …"
"I am very grateful that Mr. Zhang could come and help today." Sheng Ke looked at his watch, "I will stay here to wait for my comrades. If Mr. Zhang has something else to do, you can leave now. I will visit you in a few days to thank you."
"Captain Sheng, you are too polite. This is the duty of a law-abiding citizen."
Zhang Zian squatted down, pulled the bill from under Fina's paw, and put it in his wallet.
"Then I will leave." He waved goodbye to Sheng Ke, took Fina and Old Time Tea into a taxi, and drove to the store.
