Chapter 59: Search.
In order to cooperate with the police work, the village committee turned on all the lights in the Linfang community since it was already eight in the evening and it was dark.
Four officers from the branch office of the second group of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team, plus four officers from the police station, a total of eight people participated in the search. Tian Li and Zhao Ming each brought one policeman due to the big green belt, Li Hui brought two policemen. Han Bin sat in a chair in the community, thinking about where Chen Kangning could hide the stolen goods.
Li Hui and the two policemen from the police station each looked in different directions and searched relatively common hiding places and the possibility of finding stolen goods was also relatively high.
It was uneasy for Han Bin to find another hiding place.
"Buzz..."
Except for the noise of the mosquitoes, the surroundings were quiet. Han Bin sat down in a chair, combed through the matter, imagined if he was Chen Kangning, where would he hide the stolen goods. Officers from the Third Criminal Investigation Team searched the man's home and found nothing. He also noted he had not transferred the stolen goods outside, but had hidden them in the community.
Although the area is not small, there are not many places to hide the stolen things. Han Bin carefully recalled the details of the case...
After a while, he raised his head fiercely and shouted: "Bingo..." and rushed to the No. 1 building in Block 3, Chen Kangning had lived in this building before. He took the elevator to the top floor, then started looking down the doors to that floor step by step. There was duct tape on the door of someone's house.
When Han Bin went to the 20th floor, he discovered there was a piece of tape stuck under the door of the 2004 apartment. It was about three or four centimeters long and less than one centimeter wide. . It was very similar to the one found in building 5.
Han Bin carefully observed that the tape that was intact, then he knocked on the door of the room "Knock knock," and no response came. He turned on the intercom and called out to the group, "Did you find out anything?"
"No."
"Come here."
"Where are you?"
"I am at the door of the 2004 apartment of the No. 1 building in Block 3, Li Hui, you go to the village committee and ask the owner's situation. It is better to get the owner's contact information."
"Han Bin, did you find him there?" Tian Li asked.
"Look for Zhao Ming and come here with him."
"Well received."
...
Soon after, Tian Li and Zhao Ming came with two policemen.
"Brother Bin, do you think Chen Kangning hid the stolen goods in this apartment?" Zhao Ming asked.
"Look at the lower-left corner of the door."
Zhao Ming crouched down and glanced over, "Bingo."
"Did Chen Kangning have hidden the stolen goods here knowing there is no one in this house?" Tian Li guessed.
"Chen Kangning should have found the hiding place in advance, before coming to hide the stolen goods here and handed over a piece of duct tape. As long as the tape is unbroken, it proves that no one came and that he could come back and collect the stolen goods at any time," Han Bin analyzed.
"Tsk tsk, there's a lot of ghost stuff," Zhao Ming hummed.
After a while, Li Hui brought the people from the village committee. As Han Bin guessed, there was no one in this house, and the village committee contacted the owner. The other part is now out of town but will not be able to return at this time.
After talking to the owner. The village committee found an unlocking company and opened the door in less than two minutes. The police and the village committee entered the room together. In compensation, the police had to pay for the replacement of the lock cylinder.
The layout of this house is the same as that of the house of Xu Yan, the first informant. This type of house is no stranger to Han Bin and other policemen. The two bedrooms, the kitchen, and the toilet are not large, and it is relatively easy to find.
As soon as he entered the hallway, Han Bin gestured to signal everyone to stop. Thick dust collected on the tiled floor of the room, and it should have been a long time since no one cleaned it.
Han Bin crouched down, and after careful observation, he could clearly see a row of shoe prints: "There are shoe prints on the floor, don't let other people in yet. Captain Zheng and tell him to accompany the tech team to investigate the scene."
Han Bin put on shoe covers and followed the shoe prints with his eyes and found that the shoe prints were rotating in the living room. Then the person went lying on their side and turned around at the door after walking around the living room.
Han Bin guessed the stolen goods were probably hidden in the house: "Tian Li, you check the living room, and I check the bedroom next door."
"I see," Tian Li was the more careful and she was the more appropriate to do this job.
Han Bin walked into the next room, there was a bed, wardrobe, and dressing table inside. There was thick dust in the room, and it looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a while. He put on gloves and searched the wardrobe and dressing table, but found no stolen items. Then, looking at the bed, which was covered with a sheet, and there was a lot of dust on top.
After observing for a while, he opened the bottom of the bed and there he found a lot of things inside, covered with a cloth. He removed the piece of cloth and underneath was quilts and something else, there was a gray cloth tool bag. Han Bin took it out and opened it. Inside was a black bag, a fanny pack, a flashlight, and a short knife. The black bag was tied with a red string. When he opened it, he found it contained a wad of red banknotes, as well as valuables such as gold and silver jewelry. He opened the zipper on the side of the bag and there he found duct tape, unlocking tools, and so on.
"I found it,"
Tian Li rushed over to him, leaned over, and said in surprise: "You really found it!"
Li Hui and Zhao Ming also entered when they heard the movement.
"Brother Bin, you did a good job again this time," Zhao Ming looked envious.
"Well, this time Captain Zheng led the team, and Brother Bin can be considered the man of the show this time," Li Hui broke his mouth.
"This is not the achievement of me alone, but the efforts of our entire team," Han Bin smiled.
...
After half an hour, Zheng Kaixuan rushed to the scene.
After seeing the stolen goods, Zheng Kaixuan reached out and patted Han Bin's shoulder, "Look at Captain Zhang's team," then turned his head and ordered Lu Wen to the side: "Go check the stolen goods to see if there are fingerprints and DNA."
"Yes, Captain."
Lu Wen took out his tools to collect the fingerprints and the police surrounded themselves. Zheng Kaixuan yelled at people directly: "Why are you all around, stand further away."
After a while, Lu Wen extracted the fingerprints on the short knife and flashlight and began to compare the fingerprints on the spot with a portable fingerprint matching machine.
"Ding, the fingerprints have been taken."
"Compare..."
Everyone stopped talking and looked in unison.
"Ding, the fingerprint comparison result is exactly the same!"
"Finally, there is direct evidence to catch this kid," Li Hui said happily.
"Let him try to be arrogant this time," Zhao Ming said.
Tian Li hummed: "Chen Kangning has long pretended to be wronged, but the result is always the same..."
Zheng Kaixuan nodded and encouraged him: "The second group did a good job this time. I congratulate you on that."
"Captain Zhang's Team."
Zhao Ying came right behind him too, the expression on his face was a bit complicated. So we can see that she was a little jealous of Zhang Ping. He was resting at home without showing his face, and his team members solved the case.
What is it called behavior then?
