"Alright, I have other things to do. I can rest assured that I'll leave the case to you.”
Dong Guohua said to Hao Wei," Remember what I told you.”
"Don't worry, old chief. I guarantee that I won't fail my mission!”
Hao Wei waved at Dong Guohua and said,"Old Chief, take care…"
On the other side, after Li Ze carefully inspected the houses at the scene, he asked the investigating police officer beside him,""Have you investigated the details of this house?”
The police officers under Hao Wei were already very familiar with Li Ze. They knew very well how awesome this young man in his early twenties was. Even their captain had to respectfully call him teacher, so they naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"I've already investigated it clearly, Teacher Li.”
"The owner of this building is called Yang Chao. He's a local of Hong Kong City. He knows the old captain and was the first one to call the police."”
"So, he's the first witness?”
Li Ze raised his eyebrows." Where is he?"
"He's at our police station taking a statement."
The police officer replied respectfully.
"Bring him here."
Li Ze ordered.
Hao Wei had told them more than once in private that they had to obey Li Ze's request unconditionally. Therefore, the police officer did not hesitate and nodded."Understood!"
"Teacher Li, we found a few photos in the old captain's pocket!”
a scout said.
Li Ze hurried to the corpse. The police officer immediately handed the photo to Li Ze.
Li Ze took the photos and flipped through them one by one.
The resolution of the photo was not high, and the light inside was a little dim. Li Ze immediately determined that this was a screenshot from some surveillance camera.
Li Ze narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the set of photos. From the content, the photos were taken on a certain street at night. There were people walking on the street, and a few cars were parked by the roadside.
There were a total of six photos in this group. Li Ze carefully browsed through each photo, but the content was generally the same.
Similar streets, similar time, the same surveillance screenshots, and the vast sea of people in the screenshots.
What were these photos trying to express?
Why did Jiang Bin take these photos?
Li Ze frowned and thought about it, but the information he had at the moment was too little. He could not figure it out for a while.
The police officers at the side also lowered their heads and observed the photos with Li Ze. One of the police officers suddenly seemed to have thought of something and shouted in surprise,"I remember now. Isn't this the street near the previous case?”
After he pointed it out, the other police officers suddenly looked enlightened.
"That's right, these are the screenshots of the street surveillance cameras near the two previous murders!”
"Yeah, we've been to these streets before. It's definitely the area around Hong Kong City University of Technology!”
"Why would the old captain carry the screenshots of the street surveillance cameras over there? Could there be some important clues in these photos?”
……
The street near the previous two cases?
Li Ze frowned slightly." Did the deceased go to the crime scenes of the previous two murders?"”
"Yes!" A young police officer quickly said. The last time I followed Team 3 to the crime scene to do the final forensics work, the old captain happened to be there too. At that time, I was curious about who he was. Why didn't anyone chase him out when he entered the crime scene…"
"What did he do at the scene?"
Li Ze asked.
"He didn't do anything…He was just looking around the scene as if he was looking for something.”
The young policeman recalled and said,""But in the end, he did find something…I remember it should be…cigarette ash, right?”
"Ash?"
Li Ze's eyes lit up." Did you collect any evidence for safekeeping?”
"When I asked this question, the other senior police officers said that it had nothing to do with us and that there was no need to keep it.”
The police officer scratched his head and said in embarrassment," But I always felt that it might be useful in the future, so I secretly kept some samples for myself…"
"Well done."
"What's your name?" Li Ze asked.”
"Ding Wei."
the police officer replied.
"Your idea is correct. Any clues that may be related to the case must be taken seriously, especially the physical evidence.”
" Perhaps you can't see the use of these details at the moment," Li Ze said." Once certain opportunities come, these details that you notice will become important clues!”
"Understood!"
The police officer named Ding Wei looked a little excited. Li Ze's words were undoubtedly a compliment to him and the greatest affirmation of his actions.
"Where are the ashes you kept? Did you bring it?"
Li Ze asked.
"Yes."
Ding Wei immediately took out a transparent evidence bag with a handful of cigarette ash inside." I was afraid that the evidence department wouldn't accept it, so I kept it with me…"
Li Ze took the evidence bag and carefully took out the ash with a pair of tweezers. He carefully observed it.
"This isn't the ash of an ordinary cigarette.”
Li Ze immediately made a judgment." From the shape and quality of the ashes, this should be the ashes formed from a special self-made cigarette. The tobacco inside is also extraordinary. It can't be bought directly in the ordinary market. It should be made by adding various self-made spices and fragrances.”
"Teacher Li, do you have such a deep understanding of cigarettes?”
"I don't think you usually smoke," Ding Wei exclaimed.”
"Not smoking doesn't mean that you don't study."
Li Ze chuckled." You have to know that a large proportion of criminals like to smoke. After all, smoking can relieve their nervousness and is also the best tool to pass time. Some criminals will deliberately put out their cigarettes with their hands to burn their fingerprints.”
"Therefore, as a criminal investigator, although you are not required to be omniscient, you must have an understanding of the various things or tools that criminals may come into contact with.”
