Can't Fool the Master Chapter 3

Less than half an hour later, it started to drizzle in the eastern suburbs. Caspian He took out a bright red and green umbrella from his house and stood under the eaves of the yard holding the umbrella. There was no consciousness at all to let the people's servants outside to take shelter from the rain, and the hot and humid rain made people even more stifled.

Caspian He: "Have you finished asking the police officer?"

Finn Xin held his notebook and looked at Maverick Chu standing upright in the rain through his rain-stained glasses, and cautiously said: "Boss?"

"Let's go." Maverick Chu turned around neatly and walked out of the yard with long legs.

Finn Xin nodded politely to Caspian He: "Thank you for your cooperation."

"You're welcome." Caspian He responded thoughtfully, but what he was thinking about was that in this weather, he should drink a glass of milky green with more ice and sugar.

Caspian He's eyes unconsciously fell on the dog hole in the middle of the two yards. The snacks he bought for Leo Da were scattered on the plate and sprinkled with fine raindrops.

Finn Xin followed Maverick Chu back to the police car: "Team Leader Chu, where should we go next?"

Maverick Chu used the same towel he gave to his uncle and aunt to wipe the water on his body: "Go to Zhuang Zhuang's place and see how they are doing along the rut marks?"

Maverick Chu followed the rearview mirror and saw the bright red and green umbrella being placed on the dog food plate in the yard by its owner. Maverick Chu watched the squeamish and talkative Caspian He walk back to the house in the rain before starting the car and leaving.

At Qingtankou in the eastern suburbs, a second-hand van that was about to be scrapped was parked on the shore of Qingtan.

Maverick Chu got out of the car wearing a military green raincoat and walked next to Song Zhuangzhuang: "Is this van a tool for committing crimes?"

Song Zhuangzhuang: "It's almost the same. There are blood stains on the front of the front bumper. The blood stain samples and the fingerprints on the car have been handed over to the forensic doctor for collection and analysis."

Maverick Chu squatted down while holding his pants and looked at the scratched license plate on the van: "A deck?"

Sage Lin's voice came from Song Zhuangzhuang's mobile phone: "It's not a deck! The owner of the car is found to be Donovan Zhao, a 31-year-old male who lives on the 17th floor of Building 28, Bishui Community."

Maverick Chu: "Send me the information and I'll go take a look."

Finn Xin just dug out another set of raincoats from the trunk of the car. As soon as the raincoats were buttoned, they were carried back to the car.

Finn Xin looked at Maverick Chu who was driving: "Boss, boss?"

Maverick Chu turned on the windshield wipers of the car: "Huh? What's wrong? You can't say what you want to say."

"Well, that boss, what I want to say is that we are not a cyber investigation team..." Why are we doing the work of a field team?

Finn Xin was embarrassed to say the last part of the sentence, but Chu Ming heard it more and chuckled: "Why, do you think the Internet investigation team should sit in the office?"

Finn Xin whispered from behind: "Isn't it?" He came to Ha'an City Police Station as an intern for three months. At least before Maverick Chu was transferred as the team leader, their team spent most of the time sitting in the office with information. Doing logistical work for other groups.

Maverick Chu: "The various groups in the police station originally cooperate with each other. No matter which group you are assigned to, you will only be exposed to that part of the work of your own group. Next time our group goes to the vegetable market to distribute towels , I'll grab a few people from the field team and hand you out towels."

Finn Xin's eyes suddenly shone with light: "Really?"

"Really, what does this mean? I can catch Song Zhuangzhuang and work for you."

Bureau Jiang transferred him from the Provincial Criminal Investigation Team not just so that he could actually come here and serve as the leader of the Internet Supervision Team. However, there was no need to tell Finn Xin about his private communication with Bureau Jiang.

Room 1703, 17th floor, Building 28, Bishui Community,

The person who opened the door was Donovan Zhao, wearing gray home clothes. He is 1.7 meters tall, with greasy hair and a few pimples on his face. He subconsciously shrinks his neck and looks timid.

Maverick Chu handed over the police ID and the photo of the van: "Ha'an City Police Department, I would like to ask if this van belongs to you?"

Donovan Zhao took the photo and identified it carefully: "This is indeed my car, but it was lost a month ago."

Maverick Chu: "Is it convenient to go in and learn more about the situation?"

"It's convenient." Donovan Zhao opened the door, took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe rack, and welcomed Maverick Chu and Finn Xin in.

Donovan Zhao's house is a single apartment of more than 50 square meters. There is a row of figures on the white cabinet in the living room, and there is a huge gaming chair next to it. There is a row of empty beer bottles on the table. .

Maverick Chu looked at several JAVA books placed next to the figure cabinet: "Are you working in IT?"

Donovan Zhao: "It's for data testing."

Maverick Chu was sitting on the leather sofa nearby, chatting casually as if chatting about everyday things: "The most troublesome subject when I was in school was these algorithms. People who learn JAVA well are really great."

Donovan Zhao scratched his oiled hair and smiled shyly: "It's not as powerful as you said." Donovan Zhao took out two bottles of mineral water and handed them to Maverick Chu and Finn Xin: "There is no tea at home, please bear with me."

Maverick Chu took the mineral water: "It's okay. Can you tell me the specific circumstances of the loss of this van?"

Donovan Zhao fell into memories: "This van was lost when I was driving back to my hometown a month ago. The monitoring equipment at home was not complete, so the van was not found."

Maverick Chu: "Did you call the police after the van was lost?"

Donovan Zhao nodded: "Someone called the police."

...

Maverick Chu continued to ask a few more questions and stood up from the sofa: "Thank you for your cooperation."

Donovan Zhao: "It should be."

Maverick Chu walked to the door and said casually: "You don't seem to be very curious about the reason why we came to ask about the van?"

Donovan Zhao pushed up his glasses and pursed his lips: "I think my van has been found, right? It's normal for you to come over to verify the situation."

Maverick Chu looked back at Donovan Zhao and said in a relaxed tone: "It is true that the van has been found, but it will take some time to hand it over to you. We will call to inform you of the specific time."

Donovan Zhao: "Thank you very much."

When Maverick Chu and Finn Xin walked to the police car downstairs, the rain had stopped. The setting sun on the horizon reflects a shallow rainbow.

Finn Xin: "Team leader, I think there is something wrong with this Donovan Zhao."

Maverick Chu started the car: "Well, do you have any questions?"

Finn Xin: "It just felt like there was something wrong, especially when the team leader asked him questions at the end, he was too cooperative! He was not at all curious about why the police came to the door."

Chu Ming became more and more amused: "Why do the police ask the masses and the masses are not cooperating? You don't want the masses to cooperate with you in handling the case?"

Finn Xin: "That's not what I meant. Team leader, do you think this Donovan Zhao is okay?"

The curvature of Maverick Chu's mouth became lighter, and his voice was slightly lower: "There is indeed a problem."

A person who lives in an independent apartment in Ha'an City, wears brand-name shoes, works in a high-paying data test job, and can afford to buy a wall of figures, driving a second-hand van that is about to be scrapped is indeed a bit contrary to the person's identity configuration. and.

After hearing Maverick Chu's answer, Finn Xin leaned forward and grabbed the back of Maverick Chu's car: "Team leader, what do you think is wrong?"

Maverick Chu simply said a few words, "But in the end we still have to look at the specific evidence. Follow your sister Mai Mai to check Donovan Zhao's network to see if the date when the car was lost is consistent with the date when he called the police. Go back to the police station and have a look. Investigations by other groups."

.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, at the Ha'an Police Station, the dusty crowd gathered again in the conference room. In addition to photos related to the case, pizza, burgers, rice noodles, strong tea and instant noodles were also placed on the table. ...

"Donovan Zhao does have records of calling the police and reporting the vehicle as lost, but it was half a month before he said he lost his car." Sage Lin was chewing bread while talking about the latest investigation report.

Song Zhuangzhuang: "The latest comparison report from the forensic doctor shows that the blood in the car was Clementine Jin's blood, and Donovan Zhao's van was indeed the tool for committing the crime. The animal hair in the van can also match the pet hair previously reported for comparison."

Maverick Chu dug out a box of still warm preserved egg and lean meat porridge on the table: "Do you have any clues about the person who drove this van? Were there no other people's fingerprints left on the van?"

Song Zhuangzhuang: "The fingerprints are still being analyzed. This van must have been used to pull people over. There are many people's fingerprints in it. It is difficult to analyze and compare. Now the priority is to analyze the fingerprints on the steering wheel."

Before Maverick Chu spoke again, Sage Lin spoke first: "The traffic surveillance in Ha'an City has not yet found the vehicle record of this van, and is investigating the previous surveillance video."

Maverick Chu: "How is the victim Clementine Jin doing?"

Finn Xin: "The hospital called to say that the operation was over and that the person was out of danger, but he was still in a coma."

All clues further down will require waiting time.

Maverick Chu's bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge had reached the bottom. He stretched himself out and turned half a circle on his chair. He quickly filtered all the clues in his mind and analyzed and compared them: "If the cats in all the videos on that website are The dogs were stolen by the group of people who are driving Donovan Zhao's van, and these people are all in Ha'an City. Where could they be? "

Sage Lin immediately pulled up the map of Ha'an City and projected it onto the screen in the middle.

Song Zhuangzhuang continued following Maverick Chu's thoughts: "It's impossible in the urban area of   Ha'an City. With a large number of pets, even if every animal is given anesthesia, there is no way to ensure that the animals will survive after the effect of the drug wears off. It doesn't make any noise and can easily be noticed by neighbors in urban areas. "

On the projector, the city of Ha'an is marked in gray, leaving two suburbs, one in the east and one in the west. The western suburbs is where Xu Sheng's pet dog was lost. The western suburbs are all rich areas, so it is unlikely. The rest of the eastern suburbs is where the latest old woman was hit, and her pet dog Leo Da was also lost. The eastern suburbs are deserted development areas, and the possibility of a stolen pet dog being placed by a criminal suspect in the eastern suburbs is currently the greatest.

Finn Xin, who had been taking notes, stopped writing and spoke in a low voice: "If I were a suspect and put all the stolen pet dogs in the eastern suburbs, I would never steal dogs in the eastern suburbs again, or even in the eastern suburbs." Even if I steal a dog in the suburbs, I won't hit someone in the eastern suburbs and make the matter so big..."

In the conference room that had been busy discussing, there was a moment of silence because of Finn Xin's words.

Finn Xin hurriedly defended himself: "I'm talking nonsense too."

Maverick Chu threw a piece of ham sauSage Lin to Finn Xin with appreciation: "That makes sense."

Maverick Chu said to Sage Lin again: "Mark all the places where the lost pet dogs are suspected to be related to this case on the map, and let's take a look together."

The locations of thefts are indeed mainly near residential areas in the suburbs. These residential areas are relatively old and security measures are not very good. Most of the residential areas have various problems with the monitoring facilities.

The dog of wealthy man Xu Sheng is the only incident where a dog was stolen despite very complete security facilities.

Sage Lin: "Why would the suspect take the risk to steal the dog in Xu Sheng's mansion?"

Song Zhuangzhuang snored irritably and said, "You may have to wait until you catch the suspect and ask him in person to find out."

Maverick Chu purred like a snoring dog, and Song Zhuangzhuang's clothes were almost unstretched: "What is Zhuangzhuang so anxious about? It takes time to solve the case. You are already the leader of the field team, why don't you understand this?"

Song Zhuangzhuang slapped Maverick Chu's paw off unceremoniously: "I don't understand, you understand, Xiao Ming, please continue to analyze."

When he heard "Classmate Xiao Ming", a crack appeared on Chu Ming's smiling face. Calmly, he turned the topic back to the case.

"Expand the hiding place to the towns below Ha'an City? Or where are the dog meat restaurants in the suburbs and towns of Ha'an City? Especially the kind of small shops where the source of dog meat is relatively unclear."

Sage Lin searched all the dog meat restaurants in Ha'an City while wondering: "Dog meat restaurants?"

Maverick Chu nodded, with a pair of smiling eyes shining with confidence and shrewdness: "Yes, it is a dog meat restaurant. After excluding the "hiding place" problem that is more troublesome for suspects, the biggest remaining problem is when these pet dogs are mutilated. What to do after death? A relatively gray area like a dog meat restaurant is a very suitable channel for selling stolen goods. "

A vague and cold female voice came from behind Maverick Chu: "Well, that makes sense."

Maverick Chu, who was as bold as Maverick Chu, was still frightened by the sound and got goosebumps. The spoon he was drinking from the preserved egg and lean meat porridge fell to the ground with a clatter. Chu Ming stiffened his back and slowly turned his head to look back. Behind him was a girl with pale complexion and waist-length black hair. She was thin and short, and her white coat looked empty even on her body.

Maverick Chu glanced at the other party calmly and there was a shadow behind him. With some vigilance: "This is..."

Finn Xin said thoughtfully at the side: "This is Ye Mei, sister Meimei, the forensic doctor of our bureau."

Ye Mei threw the transparent bag in her hand on the table: "The fingerprints on the steering wheel came out, Li Dazhi, in the Xinjian Village attached to the lower part of Ha'an City."

Ye Mei had a stupefied face, a stiff curve at the corner of her mouth, and looked at Maverick Chu with an expression in her eyes that was hard to tell as recognition: "He is indeed the owner of a dog meat shop."
