Han Bin turned on the headset: "Captain Zheng, it's not a problem if we keep following like this."
"What good idea do you have?" Zheng Kaixuan asked back.
"I suggest that Sergeant Sun call the surveillance cameras around the square. If the old lady is really picking up trash, she should often go there."
"Well, that's a good idea." Zheng Kaixuan responded, and told Zeng Ping beside him: "Old Zeng, contact Sergeant Sun and ask him to call the surveillance cameras around to verify the identity of the old lady."
"yes."
The five followed along, and the old lady found nothing unusual.
Han Bin and the others did not see anyone else following them either.
Forty minutes later.
"Jingle Bell… "
Zeng Ping's cell phone rang, and it was Sun Hao calling.
"Old Zeng, I checked the surveillance cameras near the square. The old lady picks up rubbish almost every night, and nothing unusual was found."
"I see, you have worked hard."
"It should be." After Sun Hao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"How to say?" Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Sun Hao checked the surveillance. That old lady often picks up trash in that area. It is unlikely that she is a suspect."
"Captain Zheng, the old lady has walked into the alley, probably not far from her home." Li Hui's voice came from the headset. "
"Team Zheng collects Internet cafes and asks the old lady to take the money home. It will be difficult." Zeng Ping suggested.
Zheng Kaixuan hesitated for a moment: "Close the net."
…
The car is not far ahead.
Han Bin rode the electric bike and caught up with the old lady directly. After passing her by a few meters, he turned the electric bike across and stopped in front of her.
"Why, such a wide road, what are you doing in front of me?" the old lady asked loudly.
Li Hui and Tian Li also chased after them, sandwiching the old lady from one left to the other.
"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 showed his police officer's card.
"Police? What's the matter with you?" The old lady was dubious, not to mention that she couldn't see clearly in the dark, even in the daytime, she couldn't recognize this thing.
"Ma'am, did you want to pick up trash in the square tonight, or did someone tell you to?" Li Hui asked.
"You still need to be taught to pick up trash. If you want to learn, just follow me to pick up for a few days." The old lady said.
Li Hui was speechless, he was not a good policeman, why did he go to pick up trash.
"Ma'am, we are investigating a blackmail case, and the fifty thousand yuan you got is the blackmail money." Tian Li explained.
"Hey, it's fifty thousand yuan, I don't know what you're talking about?" The old lady hastily denied it.
"You didn't take fifty thousand yuan, why did you leave so fast?" Li Hui asked.
"I'm exercising, no way." The old lady quibbled.
"Please, come with us to the police station and assist in the investigation." Seeing that the old lady did not cooperate, Tian Li could only do business.
"Why, I'm not going." The old lady shouted loudly, as if she wanted to attract the attention of others.
"Ma'am, I know you may be innocent, but that money is extortion money. Whoever takes it will have to go back with us to make a record."
Li Hui and Tian Li coaxed and threatened them, and finally persuaded the old lady, and took her back to the branch office.
…
Qindao Branch.
Li Hui and Tian Li are responsible for taking notes for the old lady.
Zheng Kaixuan made a pot of tea and sat at the table with a serious face.
"You two come here, let's have a meeting with the three of us."
Zeng Ping and Han Bin walked over and sat next to Zheng Kaixuan.
"Has Sun Hao withdrew?"
"Sun Hao withdrew, leaving two policemen guarding in the car." Zeng Ping replied.
"What about the Anyang apartment?"
"Zhao Ming called me, and there was nothing abnormal there, so I asked him to continue to guard."
Zheng Kaixuan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: "Why didn't this blackmailer show up, and what exactly he was trying to do, I'm a little confused."
"Could it be that he discovered us, so he didn't dare to show up?" Han Bin guessed.
"It shouldn't be, we are already very careful today."
Han Bin recalled for a moment: "I really didn't see any suspicious people."
"Tomorrow, the monitoring near People's Square will be checked again to see if there are any suspicious persons between 6:00 p.m. and 12:00 p.m.," Zheng Kaixuan arranged.
"yes."
At this moment, Li Hui and Tian Li walked in.
"Is the money coming back?"
"It's all here." Li Hui put the black plastic bag on the table.
"This old lady, she doesn't have the spirit to spend money at all." Zeng Ping joked.
Zheng Kaixuan checked the cash: "Do you think this old lady is suspicious?"
"The statement has been recorded. The old lady's name is Li Yuanfang. She is a native of Qindao. She often picks up trash near the People's Square. She has no contact with the victim. The suspicion can basically be ruled out." Li Hui said.
"Captain Zheng, the old lady is quite pitiful. She has been tossing around with us all night. Why don't you give her a hundred dollars?" Tian Li said kindly.
"I'll pay the hundred dollars." Zheng Kaixuan said.
"The old lady is fine, it means that the clue is broken again." Zeng Ping sighed.
"Captain Zheng, I want to interrogate Yu Hefeng again to see if he can provide any clues."
"It can be used as a breakthrough." Zheng Kaixuan responded, pointing at Li Hui and Tian Li:
"You went to investigate around the Anyang apartment today, do you have any clues?"
"We have called the surrounding surveillance, and no suspicious person has been found yet," Li Hui said.
"Continue to investigate tomorrow."
"yes."
"Captain Zheng, I want to see the blackmail photos." Han Bin said.
"I've seen the photos, and they're all relatively private. It's not convenient for you, a big man, to see them. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Tian Li said.
"Okay, it's about this time, don't talk about the difference between men and women, let Han Bin see." Zheng Kaixuan waved his hand, the clues were all broken, and new clues must be found as soon as possible.
This is the same as doctors and patients. If you have a serious illness, you may not be able to cure it. Naturally, you must find the most suitable doctor.
Otherwise, the suspect will cause more harm to the victim if he posts the photos on the Internet.
"Okay, it's getting late, we'll be here tonight, and we all go back to sleep."
Zheng Kaixuan said, and took out a hundred dollars: "Give the money to the old lady, and ask her to take a taxi back."
"yes."
…
next morning.
Han Bin came to the office with two dark circles under his eyes.
When I got home last night, it was past two o'clock, and it was three o'clock after cleaning up.
I didn't sleep for a few hours, and I had to get up to go to work again.
Both Li Hui and Han Bin got up late, and they didn't eat, so they came directly to the office.
Everyone was there except Zhao Ming.
Tian Li took two breakfasts and put them in front of Han Bin and Li Hui: "Eat, Team Zeng bought it for you."
"Captain Zeng, you are amazing, how do you know we didn't eat?" Li Hui said vaguely after swallowing a small steamed bun.
Zeng Ping lit a cigarette and took a puff: "I also came here from your time, hurry up while it's hot."
After the meal, everyone went back to the intense work.
According to the task arranged by Zheng Kaixuan last night, the investigation was conducted separately.
Relatively speaking, Han Bin's work is relatively easy, and he stays in the office to study the photos.
These photos can clearly see the appearance of the victim. If it is spread on the Internet, the consequences will be disastrous.
Han Bin carefully observed each photo, and then compared it with the video on the computer. After some research, he really found a new clue.
A key piece of incriminating evidence.
