The next day, in the streets and alleys of Shanghai, countless people were walking around, observing the surrounding houses, shops and pedestrians.
All branches of the police department have been notified to strictly inspect black Dodge cars driving on the street. If they see such a car, they will stop it and the name of the car owner and driver must be registered.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ziyang received a report that a businessman reported to the Second Branch that the Dodge car he bought was stolen at noon yesterday.
Zhang Ziyang called and inquired, and found out that this man's car was indeed a 1930 Dodge, black.
Zhang Ziyang immediately rushed to the Second Precinct and saw this person.
This person's surname is Xia, and his name is Xia Yanlai. He is the manager of a trading company. He drove to another company to discuss business yesterday morning and parked the car in front of that company. When he came out after discussing business, he found that his
The car is missing.
He went to the nearby police station to report the crime, but the policeman who received him ignored him and told him that this kind of thing is very common. Generally speaking, if the car is lost, there is no chance of getting it back. Maybe it is already somewhere.
If you break it into parts and sell it, you're in trouble.
He was also very depressed after hearing this. He could only blame himself for being unlucky. A car was a big deal at that time, and usually the company's profit would be gone in half a year.
This morning, the entire streets of Shanghai were looking for a black Dodge car. Cheyenne Lai felt that something bad had happened. Someone might have stolen his car and committed serious illegal activities. If this was recorded on his head, it would be ruined for the rest of his life.
Cheyenne did not dare to hide it and hurried to the second branch to explain the situation and repeatedly stated that the car was stolen and that what happened next had nothing to do with him.
"Manager Xia, about what time was your car stolen?" Zhang Ziyang asked.
"I do remember this. It should have been 10:30 when I parked the car." Cheyenne said with a sad face.
"Ten thirty? How can you remember so clearly?" Zhang Ziyang felt strange.
"I made an appointment with someone to meet at 10:40. I have no other strong points. I am always punctual and will never be half a minute late. When I parked the car, I even looked at my watch. It happened to be 10:30." Cheyenne Lai
said.
"Oh, this is a good habit. Then when did you find that the car was missing?" Zhang Ziyang asked.
"It was 12:20 when I finished my work and the car disappeared." Cheyenne said, pointing to her watch.
"Did you report the crime at that time?" Zhang Ziyang asked again.
"Yeah, I immediately went to the nearby police station to report the crime. They said that the lost car would most likely not be recovered, so I just pretended it was a loss of money to avoid disaster." Xia Yanlai said with a bitter smile.
Zhang Ziyang asked many questions as usual and took notes one by one.
"Detective Zhang, I won't get into any lawsuit, right?" Xia Yanlai asked worriedly.
"If you don't come to explain the situation today, you will probably be sued. Since you took the initiative to explain the situation, there will be no problem." Zhang Ziyang explained.
"Then can I still get my car back? This is a new car. I just bought it in April." Cheyenne almost cried as she spoke.
Zhang Ziyang sympathized with his plight, but there was nothing he could do. The possibility of recovering the car was slim.
After seeing Xia Yan off, Zhang Ziyang called Lu Ming at the Second Branch and briefly explained the situation.
"It seems that the clue about the Dodge car is useless. It is a dead end. However, we should still check this Cheyenne to see if there is anything wrong with him." Lu Ming said.
"You're right to remind me, you can't just listen to what he said. I'll check it out soon," Zhang Ziyang said.
When Lu Ming received the call from Zhang Ziyang, he was reading a thick stack of paper sent by Zhao Yuanliang. It contained the precise positioning of all Shanghai Station personnel from 10:30 to 11 o'clock yesterday morning, and there were witnesses.
and testimony.
In other words, Fuxing Society believes that no one entered the office yesterday morning, at least no one from Fuxing Society entered, and the phone call had nothing to do with people from Fuxing Society.
"They picked them all off, pushing six, two, and five. Could it be that they have seen a ghost?" Lu Ming said with a headache.
"Sir Lu, we can't find the suspect, right?" Liu Qiwen next to her understood most of it when she saw Lu Ming's expression.
"During that time, everyone in the building had witnesses, and no one had time to commit the crime." Lu Ming frowned tightly and said.
"Have you checked everyone? Is there anyone missing?" Liu Qiwen asked.
"Probably not. This investigation is specific to everyone, so there should be no omissions." Lu Ming said, looking at the proofs one by one.
"Let me take a look."
Liu Qiwen came over and took all the certificates and looked at them carefully. After looking at them for a while, Liu Qiwen suddenly said: "It's not that there are no omissions, but the most serious omissions. Weng Bailing, Sister Song and Adjutant Qi don't have certificates."
Lu Ming was startled, then thought for a moment and said, "They...can't be possible, right?"
Liu Qiwen sneered: "The more impossible a person is, the more likely he is. This is called darkness under the lamp."
Of course Lu Ming knew who she was referring to. Although Weng Bailing and Liu Qiwen were fellow villagers, they were sworn enemies. They despised each other and had deep grudges.
"Since it has been verified, there should be no exceptions. Weng Bailing must be asked to explain where he was at that time and whether anyone can prove it." Liu Qiwen said.
"Forget it, he probably didn't do it. If he did it, it would be a big deal." Lu Ming said this, but his heart trembled, and he felt creepy.
Lu Ming still hasn't found out who is behind Ning Xiner's kidnapping. Although Dai Li and Weng Bailing are serious suspects, he can't make up his mind to get to the bottom of it.
After rescuing Ning Xiner, she had been busy with treatment. Later, Mingzhu proposed to postpone the wedding, which completely disrupted Lu Ming's mentality of investigating the matter.
But there was one thing in his mind that never changed, which was to kill Ozawa Seigoro and Yu Ying'er with his own hands. In the end, he got his wish, and his desire for revenge faded away, and he stopped checking Dai Li and Weng Bailing.
"What you are doing is unfair to other people. Why do the three of them have privileges? I have to ask clearly. How about I ask Sister Song." Liu Qiwen was a little anxious.
"Don't ask. If it was really him who did it, doing so would alert the snake. Now let's pretend we didn't notice anything and paralyze him." Lu Ming thought for a moment.
If this incident is really related to Weng Bailing, will it be a repeat of the Ning Xiner incident? Lu Ming suddenly became alert.
Lu Ming ignored Weng Bailing from the beginning and believed that the matter had nothing to do with the agency with law enforcement powers, because from the perspective of the kidnapping procedure, there was no need for units with law enforcement powers to hide their identity.
Kidnapping Du Juan is an easy task. She doesn't have bodyguards to protect her. All she needs to do is intercept her on her way to and from get off work every day. Why do we have to go through such cumbersome procedures as police arrest, delivery, and robbery?
Lu Ming reasoned in his mind. The more he thought about it, the less he understood what the kidnapper was thinking. Why did he use such a complicated method when he could just do it? It was like taking off his pants and farting.
For a special operation, the simpler and more direct the better. To involve so many links is to ask for trouble, because accidents can happen at any time. With one more link, there will be more danger.
In this case, isn't it stupid to arrest Du Juan first and then kidnap Du Juan? It is seriously unreasonable.
Of course, Lu Ming thought this way because he believed that the whole thing was a big conspiracy. If not, it would be a coincidence.
But the facts proved that this incident was not a coincidence, but a deliberate crime.
The car from Cheyenne was stolen around 10:30. At that time, the police had not caught Du Juan. Why did he steal the car at this time? He was obviously preparing to rob someone.
In other words, the kidnapping of Du Juan was planned before 10:30 in the morning. One person was responsible for reporting, and then two police officers went to arrest the person.
Before the arrest, four people stole a Dodge car on the street as a tool for committing crimes. They seemed to have known for a long time that Du Juan would be arrested and sent to the Third Precinct.
After stealing the car, the four people waited on the street for the next step to start. What were they waiting for? Of course, they were waiting for the Third Branch to send Du Juan to the main bureau.
In other words, the perpetrator knew the relationship between Du Juan and Lu Ming, and the relationship between Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang. He also knew that Zhang Ziyang would definitely receive the informant's report.
After receiving the report, Zhang Ziyang will definitely call the Third Branch to find a way to rescue Du Juan.
They believed that Zhang Ziyang would have two choices, one was to ask the Third Branch to release the person immediately, or the other was to ask the Third Branch to send the person to the General Bureau for him to handle.
However, Zhang Ziyang's attitude went beyond what they had set in advance. Zhang Ziyang asked the Third Branch to take custody of Du Juan and wait where he was without doing anything while he went over to deal with it.
