Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 290 Monitoring is not omnipotent

There is weirdness.

Just as Li Jun said, Yu Dazhang also noticed this.

If you haven't received professional training, how is it possible that you can't get any answers in two whole days?

But this also proves that Zhou Zizhe did not lie.

There is indeed something wrong with this Fang Peng!
No one is perfect.

If he were an ordinary person, two days of interrogation would definitely make him confess some petty thefts.

If someone doesn't say anything at all, it must be because he has something to hide.

"Have you checked his home too?" Yu Dazhang asked.

He regretted it after asking. The detachment would definitely not ignore such an obvious reconnaissance direction.

"How can I not check?" As expected, Li Jun glared at him unhappily:
"His house is really on the first floor, but we checked inside and out and didn't find any entrances like secret passages."

"The officers from the technical department even used shallow-water detectors, but still found nothing."

No wonder Captain Li looked so worried... Yu Dazhang also felt that the case was difficult at this moment.

Fang Peng refused to confess and the secret room where the Tibetans were hidden could not be found in his house, which meant that the clues were cut off.

If Fang Peng continues to resist, the police will really have no good solution for the time being.

"Where's his family?"

Yu Dazhang thought of another breakthrough point:

"We can learn from his family his usual schedule and activity patterns, and then track where he often goes through road surveillance."

After hearing this, Li Jun took a file from the table and pushed it in front of him:

"This is Fang Peng's information, take a look at it yourself."

From his expression, it can be seen that he is too lazy to explain it.

Yu Dazhang picked up the document and flipped through it quickly.

Fang Peng, male, 46 years old, native of Songhai, divorced and childless, parents passed away...

As soon as he read the beginning, he understood why Li Jun was so worried.

Fang Peng is the only one listed in the household registration book.

Police officers from the detachment also visited the surrounding neighbors, and they all said that Fang Peng usually kept to himself and they had never seen other people living in his house.

It is indeed difficult. Now it is impossible to get any indirect information.

Following the information is an introduction to Fang Peng’s case.

On the morning of November 2014, 11, at the entrance of the Hongkou District Rural Credit Cooperative branch, Fang Peng knocked out a man who had just withdrawn money with a wooden stick, and then robbed him of the 2 yuan he had just withdrawn.

Although he wore a mask and a baseball cap when committing the crime, his whereabouts were captured by surveillance cameras.

That night, the police locked onto the residential complex where he lived and after an investigation, they finally arrested Fang Peng.

This Fang Peng doesn’t seem like a criminal with brains… After reading it, Yu Dazhang immediately came to a conclusion.

This robbery was not complicated.

It can even be said to be simple and crude.

Anyone with a sound mind would not choose to commit robbery in front of a bank.

Except for those who rob armored vehicles at gunpoint in front of a bank. They are brutal criminals and they just need to rush in without using their brains.

Then comes the problem.

How could a man like Fang Peng, who wasn't very smart, imprison so many women?
Not only did he succeed, but he also remained undetected for all these years.

According to information, Fang Peng started driving a taxi two years ago.

In other words, he imprisoned those women for at least two years.

Was he wronged?
Yu Dazhang was a little confused. It didn't seem like these two cases were committed by the same person.

"Okay, go and do your work."

Li Jun pulled Fang Peng's information back and waved at Yu Dazhang:

"Let the team handle this case. You should go and investigate your backlog of cases and don't be distracted."

Who wants to check...Yu Dazhang glanced at Li Jun.

He knew about this case only to help share the burden with the team; he didn't have the energy to handle so many cases.

Well, he had to admit, he was curious about the case.

Because the fate of the imprisoned women was unknown, the longer it dragged on, the lower their chances of survival.

"If you need anything, call me anytime."

After saying this, Yu Dazhang stood up and left.

Trusting colleagues is also a way of working, and the police force has discipline, so first of all, we must do our own job well. Back to the backlog office.

Ma Jian and Liu Miao just looked up at him and then immersed themselves in the case again.

Yu Dazhang also took a case file and started reading it from the beginning.

Ru Yao, female, 21 years old, from H Province, came to Songhai to work...

He had no idea how many times he had read the case files of these three unsolved cases: two missing persons cases and one unidentified corpse case.

Although it was more than a month apart, he remembered the rest of the content just by reading the beginning.

Ru Yao disappeared just after arriving in Songhai, and the claim that she was working was provided by her family.

According to her family, Ru Yao had already negotiated with a restaurant to work as a waitress before coming to Songhai.

As a result, her family lost contact with her on the day she arrived in Songhai.

Her family contacted the restaurant again, and they said that Ru Yao did not come and they were also waiting for her to come to work.

Then we called the police, filed a case, and investigated...

People have always had a misunderstanding.

There are surveillance cameras everywhere nowadays. In such an environment, it is impossible for people to go missing.

But the fact is that a large number of people go missing every year, and the number of missing people is increasing every year.

Even though the birth rate is getting lower every year, the number of missing people has never decreased.

Why is this happening?

Because monitoring is not a panacea.

Even if Skynet has facial recognition capabilities, there may be situations where it cannot recognize faces.

For example, face occlusion, angle deviation, too far distance...

This is the case when the footage can be captured by surveillance cameras. In areas where surveillance cameras are not covered, it is impossible to verify.

Of course, disappearance itself does not directly constitute a criminal case.

For cases like running away from home for personal reasons, the police usually will not file a case.

However, in cases like Ru Yao's where someone disappears without reason and is suspected of having been assaulted, the police will open a case for investigation.

"It's been too long." Yu Dazhang sighed.

All that can be seen now are the case files and the surveillance videos left over from that year.

At the end of the video, Ru Yao came out of the side door of a shopping mall and entered a surveillance blind spot.

There was no sign of her again after that.

Due to the large flow of people near the shopping mall, if a violent hijacking occurred, it would definitely be discovered, so the possibility of kidnapping can basically be ruled out.

This was later confirmed by police investigation.

Since she wasn't kidnapped, how did she disappear?
The reason why this case became a backlog case is because it was stuck here.

No one knows what happened after Ru Yao entered the surveillance blind spot.

Moreover, not only were there people passing through that area, but there were also vehicles driving through it.

Yu Dazhang had already made this inference before.

If Ru Yao got into a car in the surveillance blind spot and sat in the back seat, the surveillance camera would not be able to capture her face even if she left that area.

This possibility is closest to the truth, but also the most difficult to verify.

There are at least a thousand vehicles passing through that area every day, and no one knows when Ru Yao got on the bus.

So there is no way to check it.

The police officers who handled the case at that time must have realized this, so it eventually became an unsolved case.

Yu Dazhang shook his head, threw the case file on the table, and felt a little annoyed.

Still can't find a breakthrough.

Wait ~
Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, making him sit up straight, his eyes shining frighteningly.

What if she got in the car on her own initiative?

If she was not hijacked or kidnapped, then under what circumstances, or in other words, what kind of vehicle would make her get in the car voluntarily?

Three words immediately popped up in his mind.

taxi!!

Damn it, I actually made the most basic mistake...Yu Dazhang opened the case file again.

This time, he turned directly to the page that recorded Ru Yao's family background.
