The premise is to familiarize ourselves with the surrounding environment and then find the specified surveillance to conduct a search from the inside out. At that time, I thought this guy had been appearing here recently, and he should be staying at a nearby hotel. As a result, I checked the surveillance footage of nearby hotels and found his trace outside one called Pin Yue. It was around the time Xiao Huang was murdered, and with so many coincidences, it definitely wasn't a coincidence!
"So the killer is likely this man with the woman's handbag!" I said excitedly at the time. "Although it seems like he was instigated, we should arrest him first. Director He, I know you'll act immediately!"
With a description, we still needed to use the facial recognition big database to identify him. But Ma Biao was extremely fast and said, "No need. I've already got this person's ID number!"
Even He Xin's jaw dropped at the time, her eyes sparkling, looking at Ma Biao as if he were a great god. Yuan Hezhi was also dumbfounded. We were still identifying suspects, and you, being so capable, directly provided us with the person's identification information. I took the copy of the ID card. Shang Pengyi, 32 years old, unemployed, from Haotou Village, Guangming City. He had been staying in the village idly before, and for some reason, he had recently left the village and appeared in Guangming City. This person must have been bought off recently and committed crimes everywhere. Could he be the impostor? But this person doesn't look like it. I don't know if the killer of Director Ma and Xiao Huang is the same person. Gao Mingqiang and Xia Hou and others have already been dispatched. We'll know everything once we catch this Shang Pengyi. Fortunately, their speed was quite fast. By the time they brought the person back, I was already waiting in the interrogation room. When he faced me, this guy looked bewildered and said, "Why did you bring me back? I just came out to buy some materials to take back to the village for planting."
"Buying materials? Don't you know what you were doing yesterday? Your whereabouts were discovered by our technicians. These are all you!" I showed Shang Pengyi his appearances on the tablet, and even his demeanor holding the handbag. He looked a little embarrassed, but this person refused to speak. I had to coax him, "Are you doing this just to make people think you're a woman? But your actions and demeanor make it easy for us to analyze that you're a man. Coupled with your physique, don't think that a clever disguise like this will deceive us. Do you think the police are that easily deceived?" As I spoke, Liu Yu Ning also said, "Shang Pengyi, I know you were instigated because you don't look like an impostor."
"What impostor? I don't know what you're talking about, and I wasn't instigated. I really came out this time to buy agricultural products to take back and plant. You must have arrested the wrong person! How could a simple and honest farmer like me commit a crime..."
"Do you know what you've done?" Liu Yu Ning asked intentionally. Shang Pengyi shook his head, appearing completely unaware. Originally, I thought he would accidentally let slip that he shot the police officer, but I could see that he was deliberately not saying it, not that he didn't know. I slammed the table, no longer wanting to be nice to this guy. "Shang Pengyi, if it wasn't you, your traces would be seen on several nearby streets. How do you explain that you weren't targeting our provincial department's police officer Huang Yuanhai? You've been in his patrol area recently!"
"Then I don't know. That must be a coincidence. Besides, what's wrong with this Huang Yuanhai?"
"Heh, you clearly did it, but you're acting like you're hearing about it for the first time. You must have practiced your acting skills, right?" I said sarcastically, but Shang Pengyi seemed wronged. "I didn't! How could I be acting? This is all true. I have to hurry back to plant, otherwise if I miss the good timing, the harvest will be affected..." Hearing him say this, I was hesitant for a moment, but later the investigators found some shell casings near his hotel. The investigators immediately brought the physical evidence back. Looking at those shell casings, I said sternly, "These bullets were tested and are the same as the gun used to kill Huang Yuanhai. You also stayed at the Pin Yue Hotel recently, and there are your accommodation records here. We also saw you near the trash can in the surveillance footage. Weren't these shell casings thrown by you?"
"I have to throw trash when I stay at a hotel, but shell casings are too exaggerated. How could I have them?"
"We didn't find any guns in your room. I think you hid them, didn't you? You thought we wouldn't find them there..." I continued to say, but Liu Yu Ning suddenly grabbed my arm and whispered a few words in my ear. I immediately stopped the interrogation and went with her to the corridor outside. "Do you think he deliberately left those shell casings?"
"No, if that were the case, it would easily make people suspect him. Shouldn't shell casings appear only after they've been used? Even if we can confirm that he threw those casings, he can say he picked them up. It doesn't prove that he fired the gun. Then it certainly can't prove that Xiao Huang was killed by him. This case isn't that simple. I can see that this Shang Pengyi won't confess. Why don't we check the surveillance footage again..." At this moment, we returned to Ma Biao's side. It felt like we were all pinning our hopes on him. Seeing us return, Ma Biao quickly realized that we hadn't apprehended Shang Pengyi yet. "Still no luck?" he asked.
"That's right, this guy's mouth is very tough. For a moment, I even wondered if we arrested the wrong person."
"If we arrested the wrong person, my analysis would be wrong. Do you believe me?" Ma Biao retorted. I didn't know what to say at the time, but I had repeatedly checked the footage he showed us, and there were no problems. So I nodded, "Of course, I believe your technical investigation skills!"
"That's good. Look here. This is the closest distance to where Xiao Huang had his accident, but the cameras there aren't good, and there are trees blocking them. The murderer knew Xiao Huang's patrol route well and probably tracked him for a while. You see, here Xiao Huang fell. So the time of the shooting was around 9:20 to 9:25 last night. I investigated before, and Shang Pengyi wasn't at the hotel. He was wandering outside at the time, and he was last seen on Duolian Street, where Xiao Huang had his accident, but he wasn't seen firing the gun. However, Xia Hou investigated just now, and there were 39-yard footprints there."
