Target Locked?
Seeing this scene, Officer Zhang, who was recording, raised her eyebrows.
He immediately asked, “Captain Chen, do you mean that there might be others at the scene? Do you know the consequences of your words?”
Captain Chen was stunned. He was just trying to trick the other party.
However, he knew what Officer Zhang was thinking, so he signaled Doctor Gao to explain.
Doctor Gao understood and whispered a few words into Officer Zhang’s ear.
Officer Zhang frowned when she heard this. She put down the document in her hand and questioned, “Captain Chen, I think your judgment is not strict enough. Although the robber didn’t see how Officer Zhou cut him, we can’t rule out the possibility that it was done by Officer Zhou…”
After hearing what Officer Zhang said, Captain Chen and Doctor Gao suddenly realized that they had indeed overlooked this possibility.
“Why don’t you go check the surveillance footage?”
Officer Zhang could tell that the two of them were puzzled, so he suggested, “It will take time to retrieve the surveillance footage. I believe the Technology Department is already sorting it out. We can now briefly reconstruct the scene of the incident and verify if Officer Zhou can cut the criminal’s wrist under such circumstances.”
“Hmm? Yes, yes, yes. Officer Zhang has a point.”
As soon as they thought of it, the three of them began to reconstruct the scene from the robber’s detailed description.
Captain Chen played the robber, and Officer Zhang played the policewoman, Zhou Xiaoxiao. Doctor Gao corrected the two of them from the side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaptain Chen’s left hand was firmly locked onto Officer Zhang, and his right hand was in the position of shooting forward. “Was it like this at that time?”
The robber were stunned. The two police officers had actually started a scene simulation in their ward. There must be something wrong with their brains!
He thought to himself, “What’s there to doubt? Other than the policewoman, who else could it be? Otherwise, it’s the technology and ruthless work of the other police officers…”
Hearing Captain Chen’s question again, the robber pretended to look at their actions carefully. “Yes, yes, yes, that’s it. Then the policewoman’s right shoulder slammed into my chest…”
Criminal Officer Zhang controlled her strength and slammed her shoulder back. The two of them lost their balance and fell back.
With a bang, the two of them fell to the ground. Fortunately, they were not injured.
Criminal Officer Zhang flipped over and stood up. Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was recalling the moment she fell.
Just now, she had tried to touch the robber’s wrist with her right hand while her throat was locked.
But there was a fatal problem.
It was impossible for a normal person’s arm to reach the robber on their right. Unless their arm was extended backward, it was impossible.
“Are you sure that was what happened?” Before Captain Chen could ask, Officer Zhang questioned the robber first.
The robber pretended to recall and nodded after thinking for a moment.
“That’s strange. Captain Chen, let’s try again. Doctor Gao, pay attention to the distance between my right hand and Captain Chen’s wrist this time!”
Captain Chen and Doctor Gao nodded. Although they were puzzled, Officer Zhang was a professional criminal police officer.
After the three of them demonstrated again, Officer Zhang remained silent for a long time.
“Officer Zhang, what did you find?” Captain Chen asked.
“That’s right. Officer Zhang, you’re a professional. We believe in your judgment,” Doctor Gao echoed.
At this moment, the robber couldn’t sit still anymore and complained, “I think you guys are too suspicious. What’s there to argue about? If it’s not the policewoman, it must be your police’s black technology.”
“Shut up!” Captain Chen snapped at the robber.
Officer Zhang suddenly raised her hand to signal Captain Chen to calm down. She turned to look at the robber and seemed to have thought of something. She asked, “I saw that you mentioned a passerby in your statement. You bumped into him when he was withdrawing the money. Are you sure that the other party was just an ordinary person who came out of an ATM?”
The robber thought about it seriously and nodded firmly. “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this person. If it weren’t for him wasting my time, I wouldn’t have ended up in this state.”
“Let me remind you again. If you hide anything and don’t report it, it will be an additional crime. You have to think carefully.”
The robber helplessly repeated the encounter with the ATM man. Or perhaps he was too focused on running away at that time, so his memory of his appearance was very faint, but he could clearly remember the scene at that time.
After getting the same result again, Officer Zhang didn’t ask any more questions.
The passerby mentioned by the robber could be said to be the person closest to the scene. It was either a coincidence or a suspicion.
Criminal Officer Zhang packed up the package and pulled the two of them out to talk.
Captain Chen opened the door and called the two police officers patrolling the corridor over.
“You must be keeping an eye on the robber!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, Captain Chen, don’t worry. I can’t lose the robber!”
After hearing a satisfactory answer, Captain Chen led Officer Zhang and Doctor Gao to the police’s special lounge.
As soon as she entered the room, Officer Zhang hurriedly made a call.
Soon, the other party picked up the call. “Sister Zhang, what’s wrong? Did the robber on your side reveal anything?”
Officer Zhang looked at Captain Chen with a serious expression and replied over the phone, “Xiao Yu, are you guys still at the scene? Did you collect any nearby surveillance cameras or find anything left at the scene?”
“Old Zhang and the others are still searching for evidence that they might have missed. After all, Yida is a large shopping mall that concerns the livelihood of the people. We have to ensure that they can operate normally tomorrow.”
“We’ve already collected the surveillance footage. The surveillance footage of Yida Square is very complete, but it’s not of much value. The footage recorded is also the scene of the robber committing the crime.”
Criminal Officer Zhang asked again, “What about the surveillance cameras near South Street? For example, are the surveillance cameras at the location where the robber were subdued organized?”
“In order to prevent the criminals from having accomplices, we’ve also checked the surveillance cameras on South Street. However, Sister Zhang, you also know that this is Old City Street. Although there have been many surveillance cameras in the past few years, there are still many blind spots.
Unfortunately, there happened to be construction on South street where the robber had escaped, causing the surveillance cameras to be damaged. The portraits taken were very blurry. Of course, it could not be ruled out that the robber had tampered with them in advance.
“Our technical department is still working hard to repair the surveillance footage. It should be able to be fixed! However, there shouldn’t be anything suspicious about the surveillance footage for this distance, right…”
Upon hearing this news, Officer Zhang’s brows became even heavier. This meant that the evidence they had now was very scarce and not enough to verify the authenticity of the robber’s words. She hoped that the surveillance cameras could be repaired as much as possible.
After thinking for a moment, Officer Zhang asked, “By the way, Xiao Yu, did the witnesses at the scene mention a person who came out of the ATM?”
When Officer Zhang asked this question, Xiao Yu clearly thought and recalled for a short while on the phone.
“Oh, Sister Zhang, you’re talking about the man who withdrew money from the ATM? The witnesses mentioned him. I don’t know if this person is unlucky or lucky…”
Officer Zhang could tell that there was a hidden meaning in Xiao Yu’s words, so she quickly asked.
“Xiao Yu, quickly find the witness’s confession and the video of him withdrawing money from the ATM machine. I need to know more about this person!”
