Chapter 017: Ordinary

However, when the car drove into the parking lot of the Wan Chai Police Headquarters for more than half an hour, Pang Jitong already had a general understanding of Li Bingde's case. Naturally, the invasion case of Puyu Company did not end with the death of Li Bingde, but was replaced by their Action 2D team.

"So, the superiors believe that Operation 1C is responsible for Lee Byung-tak's death?" Pang Jitong couldn't understand the reason why his superiors replaced the action team responsible for following up the case, because as soon as this question appeared in his mind, Pang Jitong unconsciously announced this problem.

Fu Liangtao turned sideways and reversed the car into the parking space, and replied, "No, but Li Bingde's death became a turning point in the investigation of this case."

After parking the car, Fu Liangtao said, "When you read this folder just now, did you notice that all the evidence in it seems to point to Li Bingde, but in fact, most of it is only hearsay evidence or circumstantial evidence, and there is no direct evidence that can confirm the case?"

Pang Jitong thought about it carefully, opened the folder in his hand again, and quickly browsed the evidence he had just read, and found that what Fu Liangtao said was indeed the truth.

Hearsay refers to the statements used by witnesses to prove the facts asserted by themselves, including but not limited to oral evidence, documents, records, opinion statements and hearsay of any degree. Based on the subjective thoughts or biases of the complainant, the court will first cross-examine the complainant in court before deciding whether to admit it. This is where the testimony of Lee's former colleagues based on various hearsay is included.

Circumstantial evidence, on the other hand, is circumstantial evidence that is not directly related to the disputed matter and must be proved by reasoning. Circumstantial evidence may include the output of computer programs, business records, manually entered database data, etc., and the records of the access to the archives and the detection log files of virus software found in Puyu Company belong to the category of circumstantial evidence.

In Pang Jitong's cognition, in the case of cybercrime, even if there is no direct evidence and there are no witnesses who witnessed the whole process, as long as there is enough circumstantial evidence, the perpetrator can be charged. In the case of the intrusion of Pu Yu, for example, Action 1C only needs to prove that the data in Rh's possession is the same as the data accessed by Pu Yu and that Lee had access to Pu Yu's network in order to bring charges against Lee.

However, despite the abundance of evidence in this folder, none of them can prove either of these points.

"Then why did Li Bingde die?" Pang Jitong once again intuitively asked the question.

"Yes, that's right, then why did Li Bingde still die?" Fu Liangtao nodded, repeated the question asked by Pang Jitong, and pointed out that this question was exactly where the suspicion lies.

Fu Liangtao then said, "Normal people know that if the police delay in prosecuting the case, it means that the evidence is insufficient. Although the investigation of this case has caused Li Bingde to lose his job, it is far from developing to the extent that it can threaten his future. And the argument of fear of guilt is even more unreasonable here, if this is the reason, then Li Bingde's death should be more likely to have occurred during the course of the proceedings."

And indeed, if Li Bingde was really wronged, then he could wait for the police to find out the truth. If the police had not wronged him, they had not yet found evidence against him.

Fu continued, "Even if Lee is dead, he is still the focus of suspicion in Operation 1C. Therefore, they did not suspend the investigation of Li Bingde because of his death. In order to find various pieces of evidence against Lee, the Campaign 1C team focused its investigation on Lee's workplace after leaving Puyu, his work privately online, and Lee's interpersonal relationships. Upon investigation, the case gradually revealed something unusual."

"Could it be that the intruder of Puyu's network is not Li Bingde?" Pang Jitong asked as a matter of course, and after thinking about it, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and things seemed to return to that question.

Then why did Li Bingde die?

This question sounded again in Pang Jitong's heart. Because whether or not Li Bingde hacked into Puyu's company's network, it seems that he can't answer this question.

Thinking about it, Pang Jitong frowned tightly, and his eyes revealed a solemn light.

Seeing this, Fu Liangtao raised the corners of his mouth, just wanted to laugh at Pang Jitong, and thought of Pang Jitong's strength, so he stubbornly suppressed this pleasant smile into a restrained laugh, but the coercion in Fu Liangtao's eyes couldn't hide it, and it all fell in Pang Jitong's eyes exactly right.

Pang Jitong only felt that Fu Liangtao stopped the topic here to appetize him, but the coercion in Fu Liangtao's eyes made Pang Jitong unwilling to open his mouth like this, and had to suppress his desire to ask.

What's so unusual about this case?

Isn't this a simple case of invasion?

What does this case have to do with Xu Jingjia?

Pang Jitong didn't ask, Fu Liangtao deliberately didn't say anything further, patted Pang Jitong on the shoulder with a smile, and said to Pang Jitong, "Take it easy! Take it easy!" Then, Fu Liangtao got out of the car first and walked in the direction of the police building without looking back.

Pang Jitong, who was left behind, caught up from behind, and the footsteps that followed Fu Liangtao's side betrayed Pang Jitong's thoughts, but Pang Jitong himself didn't know it. Seeing this, Fu Liangtao stopped teasing him, and said lightly: "As mentioned before, after the Action 1C team, he went to the company where Li Bingde worked for more than a year to collect evidence, right?"

Seeing that Pang Jitong nodded slightly forcefully, Fu Liangtao explained again: "Then you should have also noticed that Li Bingde's work has changed quite frequently in the past year or so. In just 16 months, Li Bingde has changed seven jobs. And among these seven jobs, the job that Li Bingde just fired because of the investigation of this case has not been counted."

"Unusual place refers to this?" Pang Jitong asked confusedly. Pang Jitong didn't think that the point mentioned by Fu Liangtao was ordinary, but he didn't expect that the unusual thing Fu Liangtao was referring to would be this.

It is true that it is common for young people to constantly change jobs, but a person like Li Bingde, who is married and has a mortgage, should focus on the pursuit of stability rather than constant change. And constantly causing stigma will also have a bad impact on Li Bingde's development in the industry.

However, Pang did not think that this alone could lead to an unusual verdict on the merits of the case.

Fu Liangtao looked at Pang Jitong's expression, knowing that Pang Jitong already knew what he meant by unusual, and Pang Jitong's expression seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but Pang Jitong was still confused, so he said step by step: "According to the timing of Li Bingde's resignation, Team 1C went to the scene one by one to collect evidence, starting from the company where Li Bingde recently left, including interrogating incumbent employees and conducting electronic data forensics for the computer used by Li Bingde. I guess that's been mentioned in these folders, right?"

Pang Jitong recalled what he had just mentioned in the folder, then nodded and said, "Li Bingde can't pass the probationary period in too many of those eight companies, and each company is also full of various rumors about Li Bingde. And the company that Li Bingde recently left has just passed the probationary period......

"In fact, if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that many of the incidents that Li Bingde has encountered in these eight companies have the shadow of this case." Fu Liangtao lightly interrupted Pang Jitong's words, and after speaking, he walked forward into the lobby of the police building.

This fluttering simple sentence is like opening up the second pulse of Ren Du for Pang Jitong in an instant. Pang Jitong stood in place and was initiated.

"Our main responsibility is to follow up on the investigation of cases of cyberbullying and cyberharassment," he said.

"Sometimes, cybercrime is hidden in an inconspicuous case, or even in the ordinary day."

Pang Jitong's ears seemed to ring again what Brother Cong had said to him in the morning.

Therefore, Puyu's case was not a single incident from the beginning, and this is precisely the real reason why Li Bingde's case was transferred to Action 2D Team for investigation.

At the same time, it is precisely for this reason that the focus of the investigation has changed from chasing the prisoners who hacked into Puyu's company network to investigating those related to Li Bingde.

Because of the information obtained by the investigation of Action 1C, there are various indications that Lee Bingde is likely to be a victim of online harassment. And as long as you find the person who has been targeting Li Bingde, it is equivalent to finding the prisoner who hacked into Puyu's company's network.

"It still looks like a challenging job." Pang Jitong couldn't help muttering. If Pang Jitong was indeed insincere when he said this in the morning, this time he was sincere.

The afterglow of understanding Li Bingde's case has not yet dissipated, and another question suddenly jumped into Pang Jitong's mind.

So, what do these things have to do with Xu Jingjia?

As soon as this idea came to mind, Pang Jitong hurriedly flipped through the folder in his hand, until he saw frame after frame of photos with missing edges and corners in the very back of the folder.

The person in the photo who is dressed up in fashion and full of famous brands, who is not Xu Jingjia?
