Chapter 836 Damn It
Click, click, click.
The police officer holding Badawi's arm narrowed his eyes and was dizzy from the camera flash.
They did not make a big fuss when arresting Badawi, but tried to keep the action as secret as possible. However, Badawi is also a public figure, and he is participating in a golf tournament. The police officers cannot wait until the end of the game. There are too many variables. Nicha himself does not have the confidence to keep the secret for so long.
When Badawi was sent to the police station, there were already dozens of reporters outside the police station.
The son-in-law of the deceased congressman was now taken back to the police station, and there were rumors that the "Congressman Lunn's drowning case" was restarted. All kinds of connections can easily make people have a series of associations and generate a large number of ratings and readings.
As for where the "rumors" came from, there is no need to say it clearly.
"Captain Jiang, the person has been taken to the interrogation room. The other party asked for a lawyer and did not say anything else." Nicha said solemnly, but not anxiously. This is a situation that can be expected in advance.
In the European and American judicial system, keeping silent is the option that almost all suspects will choose. The only difference is that some people really have lawyers, while some people not only do not have lawyers to help, but cannot even afford lawyers. In this case, they have to spend a very long time in the interrogation room, which is meaningless.
Badawi naturally has a lawyer, so he just needs to remain silent and wait for the lawyer to do his job.
In this mode, wealthy criminal suspects are in an advantageous position at the beginning of the interrogation.
However, from Nicha's point of view, Badawi's degree of resistance is still quite abnormal. At this time, shouldn't the normal reaction be to question the police "Why did you arrest me" first?
However, if you have doubts, you have to speak, and if you have a dialogue, you may be used by the police, so Badawi's performance is more like being prepared and trained in advance.
Of course, this alone is not evidence, not even reasoning. It's nothing for rich people to have received interrogation education, and it's even less for Badawi to be prepared.
But Nicha's mood gradually stabilized.
"In theory, we can collect various biological characteristics of Badawi." Nicha looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly.
"The only thing we can use now is the footprints, but you may not be able to use them as court evidence." Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, and then said: "Let's leave the direct evidence as it is. I think we can look at Badawi's previous confession. If he is the murderer, his previous confession is problematic."
The drowning of Councillor Lunn is a major case, so although there are no ordinary people involved, the police still recorded confessions from everyone.
Nicha slapped his thigh: "I also think this is a breakthrough."
The new evidence now points to Badawi, so if we look back at the previous confessions and see if there are any similarities or differences, we can investigate further.
Zhong Renlong picked up Badawi's confession and gave it to everyone to judge together.
As Jiang Yuan had read before, Badawi said that in the second half of the party, he was drinking whiskey in the room with his friend Sulayman.
Without Nicha saying much, someone immediately retrieved Sulayman's confession and printed it out and distributed it to everyone.
At the same time, another police officer began to look for Sulayman in the video.
Sulayman's statement was similar to Badawi's, and he was also... quite cautious under surveillance, but judging from the timeline, Sulayman appeared at the other end of the hall many times in the second half of the party.
In other words, Sulayman himself could not have been with Badawi the whole time, and his confession was obviously a lie.
"Such an obvious problem, didn't you notice it before? Bring Sulayman back!" Nicha pretended to be angry.
Only the media really treated the "Congressman Lun's drowning case" as the assassination of Kennedy. Although the police paid attention to it, it was impossible to investigate everyone's timeline in detail. If son-in-law Badawi was still somewhat concerned, Sulayman was completely out of the police's sight. He was just a guest at the party, and he was still far away from Congressman Lun.
At this time, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The dedicated media reporters had no intention of leaving get off work, but gathered more and more. Some TV reporters even showed up with TV broadcast vehicles and started live broadcasting on the scene.
Sulayman sat in the back seat of the car, sandwiched between two police officers. The anger in his eyes gradually dissipated as reporters knocked on the windows of the police car.
"Why did you arrest me?" Sulayman asked this question for the Nth time. His reaction was a normal reaction of an arrested person, but it also showed from another side that his identity as a ruined nobleman was no different from that of a normal civilian.
The police officer who sandwiched him looked at him with eyes staring at civilians, without saying a word.
When Sulayman was brought into the interrogation room, Nicha and others also sorted out most of the videos involving Sulayman.
Friends who often use video surveillance to investigate the movements of objects know that it is actually quite troublesome to observe the same object through multiple surveillance.
People under surveillance are inherently deformed. It is okay to watch objects that you are familiar with, but if the object is changed, it is easy to skip it if the video is played too fast.
In addition, surveillance is usually not continuous. From one node to another, it is not so easy to control.
Computer operation is a problem. Videos in reality are not always easy to operate. Many videos are not actually connected to the Internet. Ningtai County has been engaged in a large-scale video network project. It has spent the money of several cities and prefectures to connect the video surveillance to the Internet for a short period of time. New problems will still be encountered later.
The natural conditions of the video surveillance at Lun's home and the outdoor video surveillance are even worse. They were not originally built in the first phase. The surveillance equipment added later is often neither unified nor connected. They have to be taken separately and the format adjusted before they can be used.
As for observing the flow of people between nodes, problems often arise. For example, from one node to another, it should have taken 30 seconds to walk, but the person being monitored stood in the middle and smoked a cigarette, and the person checking the surveillance video had to scratch his head.
The investigation of Sulayman will naturally encounter various problems, but as long as there are enough people watching the surveillance, smoking a few cigarettes is useless. This is also one of the benefits of the suggestions made by the backlog task force, because if the case is important enough, the resources invested are enough, and the clues can become clues. Otherwise, if there are only four or five police officers in total, and they are assigned to watch the surveillance, arrest people, drive, and write reports, it will be very difficult to investigate one direction clearly, let alone investigate everything in detail.
"This guy, he must have cheated." Less than half an hour later, a police officer cursed fiercely.
Nicha came over immediately and saw that from a surveillance camera in the parking lot, Sulaiman and a woman in yellow clothes kissed and walked to their cars.
The surveillance camera is from a long angle. From this video alone, the faces of the two people cannot be seen clearly, but if there are other videos to support it, it can be confirmed that the man is Sulaiman.
"This guy deserves to die." Nicha knew what was going on at a glance and asked, "Who is the woman, are you sure?"
"I checked backwards, and she should be a married woman." The police officer replied.
Nicha sighed: "Sulaiman is also married, right?"
"Well, her boyfriend's family is quite rich, at least richer than us." The police officer said enviously: "She is also very pretty. This guy is really damned. He ruined our case."
"I saw Sulaiman on the third floor before. The third floor is full of bedrooms." Another police officer said.
"Look for this woman on the third floor." Nicha paused and said: "Familiarize yourself with the guest list and find a frontal photo to compare. How can you not remember such a beautiful woman? After confirming her identity, bring her here. Damn it!"
