D F T F Chapter 42: New clues

Han Bin turned on the microphone: "Captain Zheng, is it okay for us to continue to follow this path?"

“Do you have any good ideas?” Zheng Kaixuan said.

"I suggest that Sergeant Sun first make sure and go and see the tapes from the surveillance cameras around the plaza. If the old lady really does pick up trash, and if she really does, she should appear at the scene often," Han Bin said.

"Well that's a good idea," Zheng Kaixuan replied and asked Zhang Ping to the side: "Old Zhang, contact Inspector Sun and ask him to check the surrounding surveillance cameras to verify the identity of the old lady."

"Yes, Captain."

Five people followed the old lady all the way, and the old lady showed no abnormalities. Han Bin and the others did not see other people following her.

Forty minutes later.

"Vibration…"

Zhang Ping's cell phone vibrated, it was Sun Hao.

“Old Zhang, I checked the recordings from the surveillance cameras near the plaza. This old lady was collecting garbage nearby almost every night, and no abnormal situation was found,” Sun Hao said.

"I see, you worked hard, man."

“Yes thank you,” Sun Hao finished speaking and hung up the phone.

"What's new, tell me?" Zheng Kaixuan said.

“Sun Hao has checked the surveillance tapes. This old lady often collects garbage in this area. She is unlikely to be suspicious,” Zhang Ping said.

"Captain Zheng, the old lady walked down a path, probably not far from her house." Li Hui's voice came from the earpiece."

“Captain Zheng assemble the police and ask the old lady to take the money back to the trash, things will be uneasy to manage,” Zhang Ping said.

Zheng Kaixuan hesitated for a moment: "Close the intercom."

......

Not far in front of the car.

Han Bin riding the electric bike directly caught up with the old lady after a few meters passed her on the electric bike and stopped in front.

"Why on such a wide road, are you stopping in front of me?" asked the old lady.

Li Hui and Tian Li also did the same behind the old lady, sandwiching the woman on the left and the other on the right.

"Who are you?" The old lady was a little nervous and put the cart behind.

“Mother, don't be afraid, we are the police,” Li Hui said.

"Police? What do you want?"

“Ma'am, to pick up the garbage in the square tonight, did you go by yourself or did someone ask you to go?” Li Hui said.

"You always have to educate yourself when someone is picking up the garbage. If you want to know, I am just collecting it for myself for a few days," the old lady said.

Li Hui looked speechless. He was a good cop, so why did he run after a lady who was collecting trash?

“Old lady, we are investigating a blackmail case. There are fifty thousand Yuan that you took, they are the ransom money,” Tian Li said.

"What? 50,000 Yuan, I don't know what you're talking about?" The old lady hastily denied.

"Why did you go so fast after taking the 50,000 Yuan?" Li Hui said.

"I'm exercising, nothing at all," the old lady moaned.

“Thank you, follow us to the police station to help with the investigation,” Tian Li said.

"Well, I won't go," cried the old lady.

“Aunt, I know you might be innocent, but the money is the ransom money, and whoever takes it will have to come back with us to do a transcript,” Tian Li said.

Li Hui and Tian Li both coaxed and cheated, and finally convinced the old lady and took her back to the branch.

......

At the branch office of the Second Group of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team, Li Hui and Tian Li were assigned to record the confession of the old lady.

Zheng Kaixuan prepared a teapot and sat down at the table with a serious expression.

"You two come, the three of us have a meeting."

Zhang Ping and Han Bin approached and sat down next to Zheng Kaixuan.

"Has Sun Hao withdrawn?" Zheng Kaixuan said.

“Sun Hao withdrew, leaving two policemen in the car to watch the trash,” Zhang Ping said.

"What about the apartment in Anyang?"

"Zhao Ming called me, there is nothing unusual there, I let him keep guarding," Zhang Ping said.

“Why didn't this blackmailer show up, what he just did is confusing me a bit,” Zheng Kaixuan said.

“Could he have found out about us, then he didn't dare show up,” Han Bin said.

“It shouldn't be, we were already very careful today,” said Zhang Ping.

Han Bin recalled for a moment: "I did not see any suspicious person."

“Tomorrow, the surveillance near People's Square will be checked again to see if there are any suspicious people appearing between 6 pm and 12 noon,” Zheng Kaixuan said.

"Yes, Captain."

At this time, Li Hui and Tian Li entered.

"Is the money coming back?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.

"Everything is here," Li Hui put the black plastic bag on the table.

"This old lady has no mind at all to collect gold," Zhang Ping shook his head.

"Do you think this old lady is suspicious?" Zheng Kaixuan said.

“The confession has been recorded. The name of the old lady is Li Yuanfang, originally from Qingdao. She often collects garbage in People's Square. There is no intersection with the victim. Basically, the suspicions on they can be excluded,” Li Hui said.

“Captain Zheng, the old lady is also very pitiful, and for spending the night with us, she asked to give him one hundred Yuan,” Tian Li said.

“I will pay the hundred Yuan,” Zheng Kaixuan said.

"The old lady is fine, it means the clue is broken again," Zhang Ping sighed.

"Captain Zheng, I want to question Yu Hefeng again to see if he can provide any further clues."

“It can be used as a breakthrough,” Zheng Kaixuan said.

“Li Hui and Tian Li, you went to investigate near Anyang's apartment today. Did you find any clues?"

“We have checked the recordings from the surrounding surveillance cameras, and so far no suspicious people have been found,” Li Hui said.

“Continue investigating tomorrow,” Zheng Kaixuan said.

"Yes, Captain."

“Captain Zheng, I want to see the photos used for blackmail,” Han Bin said.

“I saw the photos. They are all relatively intimate. You, a great man, it is not to see them. If you have any questions, you can ask them to me,” Tian Li said.

"Okay, now it's time to talk about this, you didn't come here talking about the difference between men and women, let Han Bin see," Zheng Kaixuan waved his hand: "The clues should all be studied, new clues should be found as soon as possible."

……

It is the same with doctors and patients who have already caught a serious illness which is unsure that it can be cured easily. Naturally, it is necessary to find the most suitable doctor. Whether it is a man or a woman.

……

Otherwise, if the suspect sends the photo online, it will cause more harm to the victim.

"Okay, it's getting late, we're going to stop there tonight, go all of you back to sleep."

Zheng Kaixuan said this and took out one hundred Yuan: “Give the old lady the money and let her take a taxi back home."

"Yes, Captain."

......

The next morning. Han Bin came to the office with two dark circles under his eyes. When he got home last night, it was already past two o'clock, and three hours later he had cleaned up. He hadn't slept for more than three hours and got back to work. Li Hui and Tian Li both got up late and had not eaten breakfast at home, and came straight to the office. With the exception of Zhao Ming, everyone is there.

Tian Li had two breakfasts and put one in front of Li Hui: "Let's go eat, Captain Zhang bought them for us."

"Captain Zeng, you are so amazing, how do you know we haven't eaten," Li Hui chopped off a small bite and said vaguely.

Zhang Ping lit a cigarette and took a sip: "I am also from your time, so hurry up and eat."

After the meal, everyone went back to their hard work.

According to the task arranged by Zheng Kaixuan last night, the investigation will be conducted separately.

Relatively speaking, Han Bin's job was relatively easy, staying at the desk to study photos. These photos make it possible to see the appearance of the victim well, and if they spread on the Internet, the consequences will be disastrous. Han Bin carefully observed each photo, then compared it with the video on the computer, and after some research, he really found new clues.

A key piece of conviction evidence.
