Detective From the Future
Chapter 75: Enter the village.
In the surveillance video from the hotel entrance, Zhang Ping, Han Bin and Li Hui could see that Xiao Kai dragged his suitcase out of the hotel, walked a distance along the road, and disappeared from the video surveillance of the hotel. Then, from a nearby barbecue store, where they copied the CCTV, Xiao Kai's figure reappeared, and they saw him dragging the heavy suitcase and putting it on an electric tricycle. The electric tricycle was covered by an awning. Once he entered the electric tricycle, he and the baggage could be unseen.Once the suspect's transportation is found, the next task will be easy.Han Bin sent the video screenshot of the electric tricycle to Tian Li and Zhao Ming who were at the traffic police monitoring center and asked them to follow the tracks of the electric tricycle through the Skynet monitoring system, shortly after, Tian Li called and announced that she found the electric vehicle in the surveillance at the intersection in front of him, and it was driving all the way south as if it was about to leave town.Han Bin drove the all-terrain vehicle accompanied by Captain Zhang and Li Hui and followed Tian Li's instructions to start following the electric vehicle, which was the surveillance tape 24 hours ago. He didn't expect to be able to find the suspect through tracking and surveillance, but He Yan can be found. He followed the electric tricycle the entire way and left Qingdao City along Zhongshan Road...Tian Li called out again: "Captain Zhang, after the suspicious vehicle passed the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Hongi Street; it did not appear at the next surveillance intersection.""Understood."Zhang Ping responded and told Han Bin and Li Hui: "The suspect may have abandoned the car after passing the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Hongi Street."Captain Zhang, it is already past one in the morning, and there was farmland near Zhongshan Road and Hongi Street. This place is estimated to be completely dark. Even if we get there, it is difficult to search for the suspicious vehicle," Han Bin said."In this way, drive the car near the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Hongi Street. Let's sleep in the car and investigate the nearby suspicious vehicle at dawn," Zhang Ping said."Yes, Captain."The three older children slept in the all-terrain car. Although they were a little frustrated, the three of them were tired and sleepy after a busy day, and after a while, there was a snoring noise.......It was clear after five in the morning, Han Bin and the other two woke up one after the other and washed their faces with mineral water.Near the intersection, there was a stall selling breakfast. The three ordered three fried dough sticks, three steamed buns, three tea eggs, and three servings of soy milk."Captain Zhang, this piece of farmland is empty and there are no surveillance cameras. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the location of the electric tricycle. Or ask the police from the local police station to help us with the search," Li Hui suggested.Zhang Ping glanced at his watch: "It's only six o'clock. Other than the police station, there are probably not many police officers on duty. Let's go around first to see if there are any clues, then we call for help."Han Bin drove the car back and forth along the road. No trace of the three-wheeled electric tricycle was found on either side of the road."It's been over 30 hours. It's uneasy to find his tracks," Li Hui sighed as he drove."If it's easy to find, we don't need our criminal police to come out," Zhang Ping hummed."Do you think the suspect was a nearby villager who drove the tricycle and He Yan to his home," Li Hui guessed."There is such a possibility, and it is also possible that the car was abandoned here," Han Bin analyzed."This neighborhood is so empty that if the suspect left the car here, it should be easy to find it," Li Hui said."Thirty hours have now passed. If you use your car, it will be found easily, maybe you choose to be driven to your home by neighboring villagers," Han Bin said.The three drove the car around this section of the road and found no trace of the electric tricycle, but there were a few small roads leading to nearby villages."There are a lot of dirt roads to the villages. If you can find traces of the wheels, maybe you can find traces of the electric tricycle?" Zhang Ping said."This type of electric tricycle is inexpensive and can also shelter from the wind and rain. It is very common in rural areas. Many elderly people use it to pick up and drop off their children. This method may not work," said Li Hui who was from a rural family and understood the real situation.Han Bin reflected for a moment: "I think the power of the people is the greatest. If the suspect really abandoned the electric tricycle nearby, the people will certainly find out before we do.""Han Bin made sense. After all, thirty hours have passed. If there is an unmanned electric tricycle on the side of the road, someone can take it home," Zhang Ping nodded."I suggest we take the photo of the electric tricycle and go to nearby villages to inquire. Maybe we can find a clue about the electric tricycle," Han Bin analyzed."It is a good idea. If the suspect does not give up the tricycle but lives nearby, the villagers will certainly be more familiar with this electric tricycle," Li Hui said."For now, I will use this as the main investigation direction. I will immediately report to Captain Zheng and ask him to coordinate with the police force from the local police station to help us," after Zhang Ping finished speaking, he got out of the all-terrain car and went to report the situation to Zheng Kaixuan.Li Hui yawned: "Brother Bin, do you think Captain Zheng could have caught the suspect last night while he was in control?""I don't know," Han Bin finished speaking and leaned back in his chair: "Squint, again, I'll be busy soon,"Half an hour later, Tian Li and Zhao Ming also rushed to meet them. An hour later, police from the local police station also rushed in to provide support. The head of the police station was a deputy director named Zhao. This is the first time Han Bin has seen him. Zhao and Li Hui both know each other.Near this section of the road, there were two villages on the left and two villages on the right, and these four villages are; Beisu Village, Han Village, Loushang Village, and Guozhuang Village.Zhang Ping took two policemen to Beisu Village to investigate. Director Zhao took two policemen to Han Village to investigate. Han Bin and Li Hui went to Loushang Village to investigate. Tian Li and Zhao Ming took a policeman to Guozhuang Village to investigate.This kind of investigation was relatively cumbersome, but it was also the most common work of the criminal police, it was not entirely based on chance, and there were certain skills.Li Hui and Han Bin first bought four packs of Hardman cigarettes, then went to Loushang Village. Li Hui and Han Bin first bought four packs of Hardman cigarettes, then went to Loushang Village. When they see an inactive man, they offer him a cigarette and have a chat. Then they take out the photo of the electric tricycle and ask the other person to identify if he has seen it.Xiao Kai's electric tricycle had a blue body, a green canopy, and the glass on the right side was cracked, which was very easy to recognize.When they see a woman, they just say a few words of flattery to make her obedient, praising her young, beautiful, and stylish clothes, then take advantage of the situation to ask about the electric tricycle.Han Bin and Li Hui walked around the village, and after questioning dozens of people, they finally asked a bald old man on the electric tricycle as same as others.Han Bin continued to question the identity of the villager riding the electric tricycle, but the bald old man refused to say, saying he did not want to offend his fellow citizens.It wasn't until Han Bin stuck two boxes of Hardman cigarettes in the old man's hands that he accepted with a smile...Ps: (If you liked this novel and want to read more and more chapters, become patreon, and so you encourage me to do my best to work more, your satisfaction is my goal.
