As Da Sheng had not thrown the two steel bars and the hacksaw into the stream for long, the three items had not yet sunk into the mud. In addition, the two fishermen were eager to be rewarded and searched carefully. Therefore, after a while, one of them stepped on a steel bar. He immediately waved happily at Zhang Jingye and shouted,"Mr. Stanley, I stepped on a steel bar!”"Hurry up and fish it out," said Zhang Jingye. The person immediately dived into the water and fished up the steel bar along with the mud and water. He floated to the surface of the water, washed away the mud on the steel bars, and threw them onto the shore. Zhang Jingye picked it up and examined it carefully. He then compared it to the broken part of the outer guardrail. The thickness and length matched perfectly. It was the section of steel bar that had been sawed off here. However, he did not know if there were any fingerprints left after soaking and washing in water. After a while, another fisherman not only picked up a steel bar, but also a hacksaw. He held one in each hand and raised it high, shouting with joy. Zhang Jingye asked someone to take the two items. After comparing them, he determined that this section of steel was the section of the inner guardrail that had been sawed off. The small hacksaw was the tool used to saw off the steel bars at both ends. Zhang Jingye thought that he had found evidence of the thief's crime. He quickly threw away the steel bar and hacksaw, took out his phone, and instructed the driver, Xiao Wang, who was left outside the gate, to say,"We found important evidence of the thief's crime here. Drive back to the company now and bring Section Chief Song from the security department. He used to be a police officer in the criminal investigation department and studied the law. When she came, she asked him to bring the fingerprint detector along.”Little Wang agreed and immediately drove back to the company to bring the security chief, Song Cheng. Zhang Jingye paid 500 yuan to each of the two fishermen who salvaged the things and sent them back. The two of them got 500 yuan each in less than an hour after entering the water. It was an unexpected surprise. They were very happy and thanked him repeatedly.
Half an hour later, the driver, Xiaowang, arrived at the scene with the security chief, Song Cheng. Mr. Stanley briefly introduced the situation of the case. Song Cheng picked up two sawed steel bars and carefully compared them to the broken parts of the two guardrails. He said,"These two steel bars were indeed sawed off from two guardrails. The model and cross-section of the steel bars match the steel bars on the guardrails.”He picked up the hacksaw and checked it again." This hacksaw should be the tool used to cut off these two steel bars. There are new signs of wear on the saw teeth.”"I thought of that too," said Zhang Jingye. That's why I called you here. I want you to use the equipment to check if there are any fingerprints left on these three items. With fingerprints, we can find the thief.”Song Cheng agreed. He took out the equipment from the box and carefully examined the three items for a while. He shook his head and said,"Unfortunately, the three pieces of evidence were soaked and washed in the stream for a long time. There are no traces of fingerprints left. From this, it could be seen that the thief was an experienced criminal and had a lot of experience in counter-reconnaissance. If the three items were left on the shore, the situation would be different. Firstly, it would be easy to find them, and secondly, it would be difficult to remove the fingerprints.”
Da Sheng, who was standing at the side, was secretly sweating. When he heard that the fingerprints on the steel bar and the hacksaw had been washed away by the stream and that the instrument could not detect them, he was relieved. He was glad that he had thrown the three things into the stream in a hurry. When he heard Song Cheng say that he was an experienced criminal, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. I'm not an experienced criminal, and you probably aren't an expert detective either. Just by throwing steel bars and hacksaws into the water, you're considered an experienced criminal. Isn't that too casual?
Zhang Jingye was disappointed after hearing Song Cheng's test report. He said,""Then what's the use of me fishing these things out? You spent 1,000 yuan for nothing." "It's useful," said Song Cheng. This was important evidence for the thief's crime. It was enough to prove that the thief had entered the villa from here and not anywhere else. It was crucial to solving the case. It would be very useful in solving cases in the future.”Zhang Jingye said to Auntie Li,"Clean them up and put them in the cabinets in the hall. Lock them up. Don't let outsiders see them."?”Auntie Li washed the three items clean of dirt, dried them in the sun, and took them back to the hall cabinet to store.
After Auntie Li left, Zhang Jingye said to Dasheng and Sister Liu,"You can return to your posts. Such a major incident happened in the villa. You are all involved, so you naturally can't get away with it. Before the problem was investigated, no one was allowed to resign or leave. Whoever leaves without permission is a suspect. I must investigate to the end.”The two of them agreed and went their separate ways.
As Dasheng walked, he wondered how Zhang Jingye and Song Cheng would investigate this matter. Would they continue to investigate? With their skills, could they find out the truth? Would he and Xiao Mei be exposed? Would Zhang Jingye take back his little career? Who knew what the final outcome would be? His heart was filled with worry. However, the matter had already been done, so he could only calmly deal with it. According to Zhang Jingye's words, if he ran now, he would be exposed immediately. Zhang Jingye would believe that he was the one who did it. If he was exposed, Xiao Mei and Xiao Jiye would be in danger and could not be saved.
Auntie Li, Dasheng, and Sister Liu returned to their posts. Zhang Jingye said to the driver, Little Wang,"Go outside the door and watch if there are any suspicious people watching or approaching the villa. If you find them, report immediately.”
After Little Wang left, Zhang Jingye brought Song Cheng to the courtyard, outside the courtyard, upstairs, and downstairs to carefully inspect the scene. Song Cheng was still seriously analyzing, thinking, and judging after the investigation, so he did not express his opinion at the moment. Zhang Jingye was a little impatient. He expressed his doubts and made a request. He said,
"There's one thing I still don't understand. When thieves entered the outer and inner courtyards, they did not enter through the main gate or the inner gate, nor did they climb over the wall. Instead, they had to cut the steel bars of the two guardrails. It was difficult to enter, which was time-consuming and laborious. However, when they entered the building to steal, they did not destroy the lock. It seemed that they had used a key to open it. Help me analyze what the thief is thinking. Why did he do that? And how did he unlock the door of the building?”
Song Cheng followed Zhang Jingye's question and walked out of the inner courtyard. He looked at the outer gate and the guard room of the inner courtyard, and then at the tall wall. After returning to the hall, he checked the building's door and walked up the stairs. He checked Sister Liu's bedroom door lock and Jiye's bed. He returned to President Zhang's side and analyzed,"These two questions are not difficult to understand. It was obvious that the thief had done a thorough investigation before he stole. He knew that the outer and inner gates were guarded day and night. If he entered through these two gates, he would be easily discovered and caught on the spot. The wall was tall and smooth, making it difficult to climb over and easy to leave traces behind. These two places were not the best choices to enter the inner court. Entering from the hole under the wall, although it was laborious and time-consuming to saw the steel bars of the two guardrails, the two places were low-lying and relatively hidden. It was difficult to see the guardrails in the hole from the outside at night. Moreover, they were far from the guards of the two places. Even if they made some noise, it would be difficult for the guards to hear. Compared to entering from the outer gate, inner gate, and climbing over the wall, it was naturally much safer and more concealed.”
Zhang Jingye nodded and said,"Your analysis makes sense." It seems that this thief is very experienced and knows the situation in my villa very well. Look, could it be the work of a nearby resident?”
Song Cheng thought that it was possible because the people around him were all commoners and very poor. Moreover, he knew that the people living in the villa were all rich people. But without evidence, it was impossible to determine. "Have you heard of any large-scale or habitual thieves in the neighborhood?" he asked. Or someone with a criminal record or other misdeeds? This was because those who dared to enter the hospital and commit theft were definitely not petty thieves.”
Zhang Jingye shook his head. I have very little contact with them, so I don't know much about the situation of the nearby residents.”
"Where is the thief from?" Song Cheng asked. What did he look like? What were its characteristics? Local or foreign? It was difficult to judge because there were no recordings or recordings in the villa, so there was no evidence. It was not enough to prove that he was familiar with the villa. It wasn't difficult for a thief to find out the situation inside your villa before stealing. This was the homework that a great thief, a habitual thief, and a burglar had to do before entering the hospital. They called this kind of behavior scouting, which was to first investigate the situation of the target of the theft before determining the method and method of theft. This is common knowledge for thieves."
Zhang Jingye said," You security personnel should have a good grasp of the thieves 'usual behavior and psychological activities. Only then can you do your security work well and ensure the safety of the company.”
"You're right," said Song Cheng. Therefore, not only do we security guards have to keep an eye on the company, but we also have to constantly study and analyze the thieves 'psychological thinking, activity patterns, and methods of theft to prevent them from happening.”
Song Cheng was unable to determine who the burglar was, so he could only do an autopsy analysis based on the criminal investigation pattern of a typical theft case. Zhang Jingye was very satisfied when he talked about the company's security work. He gave him a thumbs up and praised,"As expected of the security chief, you're experienced! Our company has been safe and sound all these years, and your security department has contributed a lot! I want to reward you at the end of the year."
Song Cheng was very happy to be praised. He continued to analyze," As for why the thief didn't break the lock of the building, it's even easier to understand. Breaking the building's door lock would make a sound, and it would easily alert the people upstairs and the security guards at the door. This was the most taboo for thieves. He would definitely not break the door lock to enter the building. Then how did the thief unlock the door of the building? This was more difficult than ascending to the heavens for ordinary people, but in the eyes of modern thieves, finding a way to open the door was as easy as flipping over a palm. You have the modern door lock, he has the modern method of unlocking. This was their basic skill. It was not a problem for them to study it frequently. Even the locksmiths on the street could easily open a lock, let alone professional thieves.”
"So, the thief didn't steal the key before opening the door?”Zhang Jingye asked.
"I didn't think so. Think about it, if the key is used and kept by someone you trust internally, would it be easy for a thief like him to steal it? Nowadays, there are many cases of burglars. I have never heard of a thief stealing the key first and then opening the door to break in.”Song Cheng didn't think much of Zhang Jingye's suspicion.
Zhang Jingye felt that Song Cheng's analysis coincided with Auntie Li's. Even if he used a master key, he would not agree. He said,"No, no, the cases are not the same. Each has its own uniqueness. Saw off the guardrail and enter the villa from the stream under the wall to steal. Your analysis makes sense. I agree. However, the thief didn't have a key, but he was able to open two doors without any damage. Moreover, the people upstairs didn't notice it. I still couldn't believe it. Although thieves nowadays had the ability to open locks and break in, that was only for ordinary locks. Moreover, most of them were in a situation where no one was in the room. Even if they made a sound, no one would hear it. My door lock is different. It's very high-tech. Ordinary thieves won't recognize it at all. It's very difficult to open it! Moreover, there was someone in the room, so she was always very alert when she slept.”
Song Cheng was good at arguing, but he was not stubborn. When he saw Mr. Stanley raise questions, saying that the door lock was high-tech and that there was someone in the room, he was alert when he slept. It seemed that there was something else going on, so he changed his mind and said,"I'm only analyzing the general cases under normal circumstances. I don't include special cases under special circumstances. There were all kinds of strange things in the Greater World, but all kinds of strange things had their own reasons. I don't know the situation inside the villa, but you know it best. How do you think the thief entered the building to steal?”
"I thought the thief had a key in advance. Last night, he used the key to open the door and enter the building. Otherwise, a newbie wouldn't be able to open such a sturdy and high-tech door without making a sound.”Zhang Jingye voiced his suspicions.
"Where did the thief's key come from? Who provided it? You seem to have some clues-you suspect that there is a mole in the villa?”Song Cheng asked.
"This is still under investigation. Right now, I'm just suspicious. I think that to be able to enter the building and steal the child without leaving any traces, it must be an internal collusion: Or the people inside received the news and opened the door to send the child out. Or someone inside leaked the key, and the outsiders prepared it in advance to use it to open the door during the theft. However, after much consideration, it seemed that no one in the internal department could do such a thing.”
"Yes or no, who could have done it? Who wouldn't do it? This is your internal affair. I haven't investigated it, so I don't know the situation, so it's not easy for me to make a judgment. However, suspicion is not the same as the truth. You still need to do a serious, meticulous, and cautious investigation to find evidence. You must not make a judgment lightly and wrongly accuse your trusted aides.”
Song Cheng's reminder caused Zhang Jingye to seriously reflect on himself.
"Yesterday was Sunday. Mrs. Lewis went home and Sis Liu was the only one in the building. Mrs. Liu was hired by Auntie Li from the housekeeping service center a few days ago. She was a rural woman from the northern part of the province. Her husband had passed away and her son had just entered university this year. She came out to work to earn money for her son's tuition fees and living expenses. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be a mole in this situation. The other was Wang Dasheng, the guard of the outer gate. However, he did not have the key to the inner court building. According to the rules, his scope of service was only the outer court and outer court. He was not allowed to enter the inner court. Besides, he's from Northern Jiangsu and has been with me for a long time. Sister Liu just came from Anhui, so they don't know each other. That meant that it was not the two of them who had colluded to commit the crime, but that there was someone else, an outsider. These two had colluded long before entering the villa. However, both of them were from the countryside and were honest. This situation was very rare.”Zhang Jingye said to himself.
Song Cheng found it hard to understand Zhang Jingye's words." He suspected that there was a mole, but he also felt that it was impossible. What made him feel even more strange was that the villa had been robbed, and the scene was still there. Instead of calling the police to solve the case, he investigated it himself and called him over to repeatedly study the case. It seemed that there must be an unspeakable secret. Hence, he asked tentatively,"
"Mr. Stanley, can you tell me what valuable things are missing from the villa?”
"Something valuable? If it's something valuable, I'll thank the heavens. The problem is that it's not valuable. It's thousands of times more valuable than anything else!”
"What's that?"
Zhang Jingye hesitated for a moment before saying," I've never told anyone in the company about this. You're my trusted aide, so you won't betray me. I asked you to help me investigate this matter today, so I don't have to hide it from you. What was lost in the villa last night wasn't anything valuable. It was my son, my biological son!”
"You have a son?" Song Cheng was shocked because everyone in the company knew that Mr. Stanley had no children and was often worried about the lack of a successor for the Zabe Group.
"It was just a full moon. To tell you the truth, because I never had a child, I didn't have a successor in my career. Last year, I was introduced to a young woman from a rural village in northern Jiangsu. Because her son had leukemia, she urgently needed surgery fees. I didn't expect that she would give birth to a fair and chubby son for me this year. I'm so happy to have a son in my old age. I love him like a treasure! She only hoped that he would grow up as soon as possible and inherit the Zhang family's business. What a pity! Her son was stolen by a thief a few days after she was one month old. Think about it, how can I not be anxious and sad? How could he let it go? I must find my son!”After Zhang Jingye finished speaking, he was angry, painful, and furious. He expressed his determination to solve the case.
"I see. Who do you suspect stole your son? Is it that woman from Northern Jiangsu?" Song Cheng suddenly felt a sense of confusion, as Mr. Stanley had finally explained the matter and let him know the truth. He continued to ask.
"There is such a suspicion. Because she had lived in the villa for more than a year, she knew the situation here like the back of her hand. Moreover, the keys to the building and the bedroom were originally in her hands. She might have prepared them elsewhere. Also, before she left, she asked me many times to acknowledge her as my son's mother, but I didn't agree. She also asked me to stay and be my son's nanny, but I didn't agree either. How could my son have a mother like her, a farmer from northern Jiangsu? So, after our son is one month old, I will send her home after paying the money. From my point of view, this is the right thing to do. However, from her perspective, she felt that something was wrong. Therefore, she hates me, tries to take revenge on me, and steals my son.”
Zhang Jingye told him the reason why he suspected Xiao Mei of committing the crime. But he then said,
"This matter is so important and involves many aspects. When I sent her off, I hired someone to buy a train ticket and personally watched her board the train. She was a rural woman in northern Jiangsu who rarely saw the world. She had no relatives or helpers here. It was not easy for her to last until the end of her term. She took one million yuan home and reunited with her husband and family. If she wanted a child, she could have another one. Why would she think of returning to Guangzhou to steal a child? Was this easy? She also knew that the villa was strictly guarded and outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering. As for cutting down two guardrails, breaking into the house, and committing theft, it seemed that a weak rural woman would not dare to do it. Thinking about it this way, she felt that it was impossible for her to have done it.”Zhang Jingye talked about his views on Xiao Mei's crime. He had a motive, but he felt that it was impossible.
"I also agree with your opinion. I know that the rural areas in northern Jiangsu are still very poor. A farmer's wife can only earn less than a million yuan even if she does farm work for her entire life. Now that she had a million dollars, she was satisfied! It was enough for her family's living expenses for a lifetime. If she used this as capital to start a small business or a small workshop, she would be rich! Why would he think of coming back to steal the child? -- If you want children, just like what you said, you can have more. It's not like you can't have children. In my opinion, this case might not be the work of this young woman from northern Jiangsu.”Song Cheng voiced his opinion.
"If it wasn't this woman from Northern Jiangsu, who do you think did it?”Zhang Jingye asked.
"This is a big case, no small matter! Burglary did not steal money, but only the child. It was obvious that he thought the child was more valuable than money. This couldn't be the work of an ordinary thief. I think if it's not that woman from northern Jiangsu, then it must be the kidnapper! They had big tastes, brilliant methods, and acted quickly, kidnapping rich people. Knowing that you have a son in your old age and are a big boss with hundreds of millions of assets, he must have been prepared long ago and used all his thoughts and efforts to steal your son. Then, he would demand a huge sum of money from you. Think about it carefully. Other than this young woman from northern Jiangsu and the people in the villa's courtyard, who else knows that you had a child in your old age? I thought these people were the main suspects. The kidnappers might have learned about the villa and your son's situation through them.”Song Cheng boldly voiced his thoughts.
"It's hard to say. Before and after giving birth, she stayed in the hospital for nearly a month. I often went to the hospital to see her. Although I didn't publicly say that she was mine, the child was my son.”
"Don't worry about this. We'll know in a day or two. If it was the kidnappers, within a day or two, they would definitely call you for ransom. They would tell you the exact amount, time, and place. They would want you to send the money over and return the child. This was the best outcome. If there were no blackmail calls within a day or two, the problem would be complicated: Either the child was stolen by that woman from Northern Jiangsu to be her son, which was still fine. She saved the child's life and you spent some money to get it back. Or the child had died in the hands of the kidnappers. They naturally did not dare to extort money again. If that was the case, it would be bad! Children who had just turned one month old were very fragile. If they were not careful, danger would occur!”
"My son! Where are you? It hurts!" Zhang Jingye couldn't help but cry after listening to Song Cheng's analysis.
"Mr. Stanley, don't cry yet. I'm just analyzing it according to common sense. There were all kinds of strange things in the world. Perhaps someone would send the child back tomorrow.”
"Don't comfort me. You've been the security chief for so many years. You've also done criminal investigation and solved cases before. You're experienced and your analysis is reasonable. I only hope that the kidnappers will call soon. I'll only be relieved if I spend more money and get my son back as soon as possible.
"Just wait patiently. I reckon that it won't be long before a blackmail call comes in. The kidnappers want money, not your son. As long as you're not afraid of spending money, your son will naturally be safe. Mr. Stanley, if there's nothing else, I'll go back. I still have things to deal with in the department.”
"Alright then. Remember, what we talked about just now is my personal secret. When we return to the company, don't let it spread.”
"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut once we leave this place.”
