Chapter 843 The Whole Story of the Case

Two hours ago.

Shi Lei walked out of the bank with the bank draft of 30 million RMB.

A taxi slowly stopped at the door of the bank, and Shi Lei opened the door and got in.

At this time, a Crown parked on the side of the road also started almost at the same time and quietly followed the taxi.

When the Crown passed the bank gate, the person in the passenger seat leaned out of the window and took a look. A woman in a professional suit in the bank nodded slightly to the person in the car. The Crown suddenly accelerated and hung behind the taxi.

Shi Lei didn't care about these. If he could look back at this time, he would find that the woman in the bank was the lobby manager who received him.

Crown followed the taxi to the top of Taiping Mountain. Shi Lei got off the car, and they found a parking space and parked the car.

Following Shi Lei into the restaurant, seeing Shi Lei hand the envelope to Ding Yu, the two people left the restaurant and made a phone call in the car.

Seeing Ding Yu and Shi Lei leave the restaurant, one of the two men immediately started the car and drove down the mountain.

After a while, they met up with their accomplices who had come to meet them on the mountain road.

The accomplice drove a broken car from an abandoned car factory. The two cars were parked on the side of the road. There was a corner in front, which was just in the blind spot of the traffic, and there was no surveillance nearby. The nearest surveillance was a hundred meters away. At this distance, as long as they paid a little attention, the surveillance camera could not take a clear picture of their faces.

Soon, the accomplice on the top of the mountain called and said that Ding Yu, who had received the promissory note, had driven down the mountain.

The people in the two cars calculated the time and posed as a car accident scene, just waiting for Ding Yu to arrive.

Just after noon, there were almost no other vehicles on the road. After seeing Ding Yu's car appear, the people in the car pretended to ask for help, and then everything Ding Yu described on the phone happened.

After knocking Ding Yu unconscious, the two cars left quickly, and the broken car was abandoned at the foot of Taiping Mountain. Crown went all the way to the bank, and with the help of the lobby manager, he quickly cashed the 30 million promissory note and deposited it equally into four different accounts.

These four accounts were all in foreign banks, so after Ding Yu called the police, the police wanted to freeze the accounts as soon as possible, but it involved foreign banks and the other bank had strict confidentiality measures, which directly made it difficult to recover the money.

This was a major case worth nearly 40 million Hong Kong dollars. The police certainly attached great importance to it. A deputy director of the Police General Administration was directly in charge of the investigation within a limited time.

However, the hillside of Taiping Mountain is a high-end residential area where Hong Kong’s wealthy people gather. In order to protect the privacy of these wealthy people, the density of surveillance cameras is far less than other places in the city.

The police retrieved the surveillance cameras near the crime scene. The cameras did capture the two robbers, but the distance was too far and the picture was too blurry. In addition, the two were obviously experienced and deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras throughout the process, so the police could not obtain the appearance of the two men.

The police also immediately got the surveillance inside the bank. However, the man who cashed the promissory note wore a baseball cap with the brim pulled down very low, and no surveillance camera could capture his complete face.

When Shi Lei issued the promissory note, he had made it clear that the promissory note would be cashed soon, and he was not sure who would come to the bank to cash the promissory note. He would only give the promissory note to Ding Yu, the victim of the robbery case. Ding Yu later said that the promissory note could not be cashed by him, but would be handed over to a colleague in the institute who was responsible for this business.

This led to the bank not paying too much attention, but helping the holder to cash the note as quickly as possible and remit the money to the four designated bank accounts.

The whole process took less than ten minutes, and the director of the bank responsible for this business did not even look at the other party's appearance too seriously.

The lobby manager in charge of reception also said that he did not pay too much attention to the appearance of the holder.

The director and the lobby manager were invited to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Together with Ding Yu himself, the police drew a picture of one of the suspects through the oral statements of the three people.

However, the three people had different descriptions in some details, which directly led the police to believe that the portrait of the suspect would not be too accurate.

After receiving the report and confirming the occurrence of the case, the police immediately controlled the various entry and exit ports. However, until the case occurred nearly 24 hours later, the Hong Kong Island police could not find a suspect similar to the portrait at any entry and exit port.

Shi Lei was the person who issued the bill, so of course he was also invited to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.

When the police learned that Shi Lei issued this 30 million RMB promissory note to support the research institutes of several scientists, they paid more attention to this case.

However, paying attention does not mean that the case can be solved, especially in this case, the robbers' means of committing the crime were too sophisticated, and they were extremely experienced robbers at a glance.

The entire process of committing the crime can be described as extremely concise and actionable, and every link was handled extremely well. The clues left to the police were almost only the Crown car and the broken car.

The broken car was stolen from an abandoned car factory, and the clues were cut off after reaching the old car factory.

The Crown became the last clue.

By tracking the Crown, the police found that the Crown was, as expected, a fake license plate car, which belonged to a Jaguar. The owner of the car was not even in Hong Kong Island on the day of the incident. He was on vacation in Hawaii and had been away for three days.

Since the issuance of this promissory note was a temporary act, the fake license plate Crown obviously had nothing to do with the Jaguar owner.

It takes time to track the movement of the Crown. By the time the police tracked these, nearly twenty hours had passed.

The car was finally found near the Shekou Port, which made the police judge that the robbers may have left Hong Kong Island through some smuggling channels. Even because the police did not control the port early enough, they may have left Hong Kong Island through normal channels and entered Bao'an.

Once in Bao'an, it is really like the sky is high and the sea is wide, and it is extremely difficult to find these people again.

The only good news is that the foreign bank to which the four accounts belonged promised to freeze the four accounts for 72 hours, but it is only 72 hours. Therefore, the Hong Kong police asked the police to solve the case within 72 hours.

However, now, nearly 24 hours have passed.

Ding Yu was the victim, and he was a scientist. The police investigation on him ended after 24 hours, and it was basically determined that he could not be an accomplice of the robbers.

As for Shi Lei, due to his identity and personal wealth in the mainland, the 30 million was the research expenses he donated to the institute. The police only conducted routine inquiries on him, but expressed the hope that Shi Lei could stay in Hong Kong Island for two or three more days.

The police would certainly suspect that there was a ghost inside the bank, so the vice president, lobby manager, and director who later handled the cashing business for the robbers, as well as the two security guards who knew the inside story and sent Shi Lei to the taxi, all became the key suspects of the police.

Although it was not a formal arrest, it was obvious that it would be difficult for them to leave the police station before the case was solved.
