Chapter 73: Another Robbery
didn't stay in the hospital with Shi An for too long, Fang Lubai received a call from Liu Chuqi claiming that there had been another robbery and that he urgently needed his captain to deal with it and had to leave early.
Feeling warm for Fang Lubai's caring words, Shi Anmu took away his smile after sending him out of the hospital, and carefully recalled the various things that the patient who died this morning, especially the appearance when he was playing with him last night, there was indeed no sign of imminent illness.
Compared with his mental state less than 12 hours before his death was confirmed by the medical staff, his physical complexion was still good, and he was confident in the chemotherapy plan formulated by the doctor, it can be basically ruled out that the person who had desperate suicidal thoughts died suddenly, and if it is confirmed that the cause of death was not an illness, there is only one possibility left.
That is, as Fang Lubai thought, he was murdered by someone in some secret method that is not easy to detect, and if this is the case, a medical autopsy of the corpse will definitely find clues and bring the person who killed him to justice.
Thinking about this, Shi An couldn't sit still and picked up the crutches that had been put aside again...
The words were divided into two ends, Fang Lubai hurried from the hospital to Liu Chuqi said on the phone that the Beicheng District Police Bureau, where the victim of the new robbery was waiting for him, had not had time to listen to the report of his team members, so he first went to see the victim who came to report the case.
Perhaps because he had just been subjected to a violent robbery, he observed through the single-lens reflex glass wall that the young woman was well-dressed and had good facial features, and inferred that the young woman who was not over thirty years old looked a little sluggish.
Hooking the corners of his lips, trying to make the expression on his face look less solemn as much as possible, Fang Lubai pushed the door in: "Miss Liu Xiaoting, hello, I am Fang Lubai, a police officer who is specially responsible for investigating the case of your robbery." ”
"Hello." Liu Xiaoting raised her head in response, her pale face still had tears shed when she was frightened; "Regarding this case, I have already told you all the things I can think of and can provide when I reported the case, and I don't know what else you have to ask, so I have to stay."
Hearing this, Fang Lubai's eyebrows furrowed, and he said: "If it is because of the investigation of the case, I can only say sorry to you, but as a victim of economic losses, I hope you can actively cooperate with our work so as to recover your losses as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, Officer Fang, if you have any questions you want to know, just ask them quickly, I just ask you to let me leave first after I finish answering, I really have urgent matters that need to be dealt with in person, and I don't have much time to waste here."
Liu Xiaoting slowly let out a long breath and said with a sad face.
Since the other party said this, Fang Lubai didn't want to continue to go around in circles, quietly adjusted the watch tied to his left wrist, and asked him directly: "You once said that the robbers robbed you of more than 70,000 yuan in cash, can I ask about the source and purpose of this cash?" ”
"The 79,350 yuan was taken out of my bank account this morning, a few hours ago, to pay the wages of the employees in my store."
Liu Xiaoting's statement is consistent with the scene in front of her withdrawing money at the bank counter, so Fang Lubai saw a man who was not far behind Liu Xiaoting who had walked out of the bank business hall after withdrawing money as if he had unintentionally, and when he was unaware, he could almost conclude that the person was the serial robber he wanted to arrest.
He quietly continued to ask: "Now that online payment is prevalent, Miss Liu, you can use the transfer method to pay your salary, why do you continue to use the practice of paying salaries to employees in cash, and can you make a list of people who know which bank business hall you will go to to withdraw money today?" ”
"Alas, if I can transfer money to the employees online to pay their wages, I don't want to go back and forth to the bank so troublesome every month, but I open a blind massage parlor, and the massage masters hired are all blind, and they have always only accepted cash, so I have to agree with them that the salary will be paid today every month, and all the employees in the store know about it."
Hearing him mention this matter, Liu Xiaoting, as a victim, also felt helpless;
"They are all blind, they still need to rely on external forces or relatives to take care of their daily lives, it is impossible to rob me with a knife, police officer, today is the day to pay their salaries, I still have to rush to withdraw money before the bank counter staff get off work, this matter cannot be delayed, or you will ask me again another day?"
Seeing that Liu Xiaoting was indeed very worried, she would lose her trust in her employees because of the robbery, and the clues that should be known had already been known through interrogations and illusions, Fang Lubai naturally would not continue to stay here, wasting each other's time.
After calling Liu Chuqi to record Liu Xiaoting's contact information, residence, and store address, and letting him leave on his own, Fang Lubai immediately borrowed a pen and paper from the police officer of the substation, and while following the appearance of the man who was very likely to be a robber in Fang Cai's vision, he analyzed and thought deeply about all the clues he knew.
With the picture presented by the illusion of a moment, he boldly speculated that the reason why the robbers were alone in the crowded bank and Liu Xiaoting was probably because he knew in advance that he would not only go to the bank alone today, but also leave with a large amount of cash?
This clue shows two possibilities, either the robber and Liu Xiaoting and other victims know each other, so they are very clear about the time and round-trip route of Liu Xiaoting's withdrawal;
Or that although he and several victims such as Liu Xiaoting are strangers, they are likely to have made full preparations before committing the crime.
For example, after identifying the prey, the victim's economic conditions and daily range of activities are preliminarily grasped through premeditated criminal methods such as repeatedly stepping on the route to the scene and taking the opportunity to talk to a third person.
In order to formulate a corresponding plan for each robbery one by one, to try to ensure that once it is started, it can be successful, and it can act so carefully that most of them are not novices.
