Chapter 226 The Situation Becomes Clear when Dirt Appears (Please Subscribe and Vote Monthly)
"The suspect won't be so blatant. Maybe the other party is among these people, but he is well hidden."
Luo Fei expressed his opinion with firm eyes.
"Come on, let's go meet this security guard, Old Zhao!"
According to Lu Chao, the home address of the security guard Lao Zhao is not far from the back street, and it is less than ten minutes' drive away.
So Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu left quickly and asked the other two to stay and guard the scene to cooperate with other police officers in collecting evidence.
Although there is not much that can be used to provide favorable evidence, the scene cannot be destroyed!
"By the way, do you think this is weird?"
Liao Xingyu said in the car.
"Logically speaking, the direction of the criminal investigation should be clearly focused on a certain key suspect, but everyone in this jewelry store is not right, and they have legitimate reasons, so it is a bit difficult to handle."
"It's because there's so much evidence."
Luo Fei smiled.
"Although there are no obvious fingerprints, the demolition actions, proficiency in snatching things, and changes in the time of the crime can all prove their unreasonableness."
"It's a pity that it's too complicated and chaotic. Now let's go check on the old security guard."
When I was profiling, I went through the entire hall, and I caught all the clues in it, including the demolition scenes and snatching actions.
Although the scene is blurry, these details can be used as their evidence.
There was something wrong with Li Xiaoping who had been hiding in the lounge.
The store manager is okay, basically a careless type.
Su Lili's confrontation and Liu Xia's journey are the same. There are things that need to be considered. Once one of them tells a lie, the other will inadvertently commit perjury.
"Hello, Uncle Zhao, we are from the Criminal Investigation Brigade. The one where you worked before..."
Luo Fei knocked on the door and said hello.
Before he finished speaking, the door opened, but the next moment the old man, who was over sixty years old, stumbled forward and his crutches flew away.
Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu were startled and rushed to help. One hugged the old man and the other caught the crutches.
"Hey, comrade police, please come in. I'm so sorry. I'm getting old."
Mr. Zhao grinned, half of his front teeth were missing, and the rest were all gone.
Although he was only sixty years old, this old man looked older than his octogenarian age.
"Hello, we are here to understand the situation with you."
Liao Xingyu was quite embarrassed.
He didn't expect that the other party would look like this!
At the beginning, he left a guess for the old man. If this was done by the other party, it could be explained. After all, what the shop owner did was not acceptable to ordinary workers.
It's understandable that you would do some outrageous things out of dissatisfaction.
But he now firmly believes that the security guard, Zhao, is innocent.
It cannot be said that there is no suspicion, at least it is minimal.
How could he go robbing houses and even destroy the entire store like that when he couldn't even walk easily?
Luo Fei was still chatting with the old man.
"Uncle, are you familiar with the other people in the jewelry store?"
"What? The girls have all been expelled? Hey, when did this happen! This is too much."
"Uncle, let me tell you, are you familiar with the employees in the store?"
"What? What about retiring and enjoying happiness? I was abandoned!"
The two of them were speechless for a while. If they weren't wearing police uniforms, they might not even be able to figure out what they were doing.
This old man’s hearing is too bad!
With his ears back like this, he is really not suitable for being a security guard.
It seems that some things should not be too arbitrary. The shop owner considers his own interests and also based on objective facts.
Liao Xingyu had no choice but to shout loudly.
"Uncle, we would like to ask how your relationship is with other people in the store?"
"The relationship with those girl dolls is good. They are all sensible. That braided Li Xiaoping is a good child, but she is a bit timid. That Xiao Liu often helps me with my work."
"There is also that big girl named Su Lili. She is a righteous person and often helps the old man speak for me. I even want to be with her..."
As he spoke, Uncle Zhao stood up tremblingly and made gestures. This shocked Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu, and they quickly stopped him.
"Okay, sir, that's all we know."
"If we need anything else later, we will contact you."
"Okay, it's our duty to cooperate with the police and the public!"
Uncle Zhao sent the two of them out tremblingly.
Liao Xingyu breathed a long sigh of relief when he came outside the door.
"It seems that Lao Zhao's situation can be ruled out. At least based on his situation, he will not be the target of our investigation and the key suspect."
"It can only be said that the possibility of him personally committing the crime is too small. We do not rule out other possibilities such as instigation and inducement. Let's go back."
Luo Fei looked serious.
"rigorous!"
Liao Xingyu gave a thumbs up.
When the two people drove back to the jewelry store, it was already afternoon. They spent all their time here, but still made no progress.
Luo Fei was thinking about the daily lives of the three girls that Lao Zhao mentioned to them.
I always feel like there is something I have overlooked.
I just combined the confessions of the three of them in the morning with Lao Zhao's evaluation, as well as the daily status of these people.
As long as she finds the one who is making fun of herself in front of her, there must be something wrong with her.
Unfortunately, after analyzing it for a while, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
"Team Leader Luo, you guys, look!"
While he was talking, Wang Lei ran over excitedly and placed his camera and evidence bag in front of them.
"We discovered a new situation. These glasses with very specific cuts had tiny cones on them, which exploded almost instantly. In other words, it was not just one tool, but two crime tools used together."
"A cone-headed mace and some of the larger fire axes."
As soon as these words came out, the scene in front of Luo Fei changed again. This reminder and discovery was very important and was of great help to the profiling.
The scene in front of me went directly back to the early morning...
First, two figures rushed in, one chiselled a spot, and the other aimed to smash down. Both of them were very powerful, but due to the problem of coordinated operation, the demolition speed was slow and took a lot of time.
One is hitting at a fixed point and the other is chopping, but the effect is not ideal.
No, it’s not two people. What if it’s one person?
The scene changed again, and Luo Fei stood in the middle, turning his head slightly to look to that side.
This time only a figure appeared.
The opponent held a pointed hammer and slammed it down, and then followed up with the other hand waving a large-caliber fire ax.
boom--
Under the loud noise, the cracks were first broken, and then split open, from the same perspective, in the same direction, simply and directly.
Then came another hammer and an ax, alternating operations...
Under such a series of collisions, the entire tempered glass on the counter was directly smashed, and even the back had already broken, so he simply used an axe.
Under the support of the opponent's arm, the cut surface was cut very neatly.
The final effect is what I see before my eyes at this moment...
"So that's the case, it makes sense."
Luo Fei once again turned his attention to the three girls standing there. It seemed that he could only use his last interrogation method.
But before that, he had to make sure of one thing.
He first came to the shop owner. When Lu Chao saw Luo Fei approaching, he quickly corrected his attitude and stood upright.
"Manager Lu, what's going on with the surveillance camera in the store? When we learned about the situation, we said it was broken."
"Yeah, it just happened in the past two days."
Lu Chao shook his head helplessly.
"It should be that the surveillance camera suddenly broke down the day before yesterday and the mirror cannot take pictures, so I want to ask someone to repair it."
"But the nearest repair shop charges higher fees. I happen to have a friend who is good at this, so we agreed that he would come here to help this weekend, but we didn't expect that something happened before the repair was completed."
After listening to what the other party said, Luo Fei looked at Liao Xingyu and the others and gave his own explanation.
"According to what the boss said, the situation here is somewhat special because the surveillance camera was broken, so they carried out the robbery."
"Once this causal relationship is established, the suspect can be located at the scene."
"If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for outsiders to know that the cameras were not working properly when they came in to inspect the site or conduct investigations in advance. They would choose to destroy them as soon as they rushed in. Now that these surveillance cameras are intact, it is confirmed. My speculation."
"But even if they are really destroyed, it doesn't matter. We can still find them in the computer room. After all, we don't need to take pictures of all the faces. A few clues are enough."
"So... only broken surveillance can seduce everyone with a heart, which means to a large extent it is the people in this store."
Liao Xingyu and the others nodded one after another. With such a lock, the range was indeed small.
Several people looked at the other three people next to Lu Chao, and the atmosphere began to change subtly.
Zhao Hai suddenly remembered something.
"Team Leader Luo, there is something I need to remind you. This store has a back door."
"back door?"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu were stunned.
The shop owner Lu Chao looked a little embarrassed and could only laugh.
You must know that the houses on the entire back street are arranged in the form of a commercial street, so only the main entrance can be entered. If you demolish and build a door without permission, this is an illegal construction modification and it is impossible without a permit.
"Is there such a thing? Manager Lu, please explain!"
Liao Xingyu's tone was very serious.
"Uh, uh, indeed, this is indeed my problem. Comrade police, I will review it and accept any punishment."
At this time, Lu Chao was very ashamed. He only wanted to occupy part of the area behind to make a profit, because there were garages connected to the back of the shopping street, but a large part of the area did not allow parking on weekdays.
So he thought about storing some necessary things there, or using it as a tally passage, which could be considered as making the best use of everything.
In order to avoid being discovered, he deliberately pretended to be very hidden.
It was built right next to the storage room, and the wallpaper is so hidden that you can't even see it unless you look carefully.
But this behavior is undoubtedly selfish and illegal!
Luo Fei had a dark face and asked Liao Xingyu to write down the matter first. This unexpected gain made him unexpected. If the case hadn't happened here today, I'm afraid it would never have been known to the outside world.
The emergence of this backdoor is interesting.
"Take me to see it."
Luo Fei came to the back door and checked it carefully. There were indeed signs of the back door being opened, but according to what Li Xiaoping said, this was left by Lu Chao who opened the door to check after receiving a call in the morning.
Otherwise no one has been anywhere today.
In other words, the backdoor was only activated when it came in the morning, that's all.
After seeing all this, Luo Fei asked carefully again and confirmed that there was only one key to the back door. It was in the hands of the store manager Lu Chao. It was locked every night and opened during the day.
"I roughly understand that there is a very key point here, and that is where did the perpetrators escape from?"
Luo Fei raised this question to Liao Xingyu and others.
The first person to answer was Zhao Hai!
"It should have been through the front door. After all, the store manager hadn't arrived in the morning, and the back door couldn't be opened. The chain was intact."
"No, the back door is just a cover-up."
"You can imagine that almost everything in the store was looted. If there were not enough manpower, it would be impossible to take them away. But if multiple people committed the crime, why would they block the lounge and directly control Li Xiaoping? It would be fine if it wasn’t.”
"The reason why we blocked her in the lounge is because there are very few people coming and we can't control her by force. I can even tell that there is only one person!"
Including the store manager Lu Chao, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't imagine that one person could come here single-handedly and destroy the store like this.
How is this possible when everything is in a mess and everything is taken away?
Except for the clerk, the expressions of the other three staff members also became uncertain.
They were terrified about this matter. After all, the unknown fear of girls made people more frightened. Forget about gangsters and robbers, they couldn't deal with desperadoes.
"If it were a person, then this backdoor would be valuable."
Luo Fei looked at the back door, then at the jewelry store in front of him, roughly calculated the time difference between the inside and outside actions, and then smiled slightly.
Opening the back door, he went out to investigate. After looking around, he found that the location of the parking lot was remote enough, so there were many open spaces.
You can directly bypass the back streets through here, which means there is a chance of escaping.
But if you are alone, you may not run away.
After all, strutting around with so many things would most likely arouse suspicion.
"Wang Lei, Zhao Hai, go and search the area in the parking lot at the back. Search carefully. Don't miss any trash cans or anything else."
Sure enough, the good news came ten minutes later.
"Team leader, we found it, we found it!"
Zhao Hai was as excited as a child, with a look of surprise on his face.
"All the jewelry, gold and silver ornaments, were packed and hidden in a garbage corner at the back."
“There are a lot of things, just by looking at the quantity, they should all be there!”
