Wu Junhao spoke and called soone over, saying, "Bring the tal detector over and search everywhere."
"Yes." The detective who was called cooperatively saluted. They had brought the tal detectors along since they were ant to be used, and now they were just increasing security further.
Liu Haozi, with a wealthy family background, lived in comfort. Even if he realized sothing was wrong and a bunch of policen ca in with guns, if they intent on deceiving him, he can only appear to have been fooled, acting anxiously, and he said, "Please don’t clean out, tell what you want directly."
"I want this person." Wu Junhao nodded, continuing to act.
Different teams have different styles of doing things; Wu Junhao brought out the Bald Strike Team to emphasize the seriousness of the situation, and then desperately acted.
If the act succeeds, everyone is happy; if it fails, then it’s treated as a team training exercise.
However, even when acting, it was a weight Liu Haozi could not bear.
The crucial point was that he really knew the person in the sketch.
"How did you investigate a case from 15 years ago? Most cases have passed the statute of limitations, right?" Liu Haozi tested further.
"What do you think?" Wu Junhao glanced at him.
"I can only say it was a serious case, huh."
Wu Junhao remained silent.
Liu Haozi thought for a long ti, recalling all the legal knowledge and practical stories he knew, then said, "If I say I know him, doesn’t that an I’m admitting I did sothing 15 years ago?"
"You’re going to jail anyway; doesn’t that an clearing your record?" Wu Junhao didn’t get too excited; during the investigation process earlier, he had encountered people claiming to recognize the person in the sketch. In other words, no one who got caught would ever say they didn’t know.
This was a sketch of a face, naturally there’s going to be differences, and it was 15 years ago, randomly saying a few nas is the most normal choice for those heartless criminals awaiting their trial.
Those who lie create lies, and those without lies make contributions; this is the experience organized criminals have summarized over years.
Liu Haozi thought again and quietly said, "If the information I provide leads to capturing soone, does that count as contributing?"
"Of course it counts, and it’s a major contribution." Wu Junhao was now more serious, his gaze locked onto Liu Haozi: "Do you really know him?"
"Maybe I’ve seen him, after all, it’s been 15 years."
"Tell , what’s this person’s na."
"Fire Bull. He made the nickna himself; I don’t know his real na, but he should be from the Northeast; although he doesn’t speak with a Northeast accent, during one conversation, he revealed it."
"One conversation? You t multiple tis?"
"He ca three tis. The things he brought were too hot; so places probably didn’t dare to take them, so he’d circle back to find ." Liu Haozi spoke while cautiously glancing at Wu Junhao.
"Is there anything you recognize?"
"I guess he stole it or robbed it." Liu Haozi said, with a deep sigh.
Wu Junhao listened, but his eyes lit up, and he continued questioning.
Just the matter of the Northeast accent could greatly narrow down the investigation group’s search.
Liu Haozi only knew it was a severe cri, not exactly how severe, and he began to speak freely:
"This person is tall, about 1.8 ters or so. Of course, kids nowadays are tall, but in our era, 1.8 ters was exceptionally tall, you couldn’t find anyone like that in a class."
"He ca directly to us, with a temper, but the asking price was low, sounding like a thief. But he was too tall and sturdy, not suitable for thieving, better off working as a lackey for so boss. Of course, being a lackey for a boss isn’t comfortable either."
"Each ti he ca, he traded only things worth a few thousand, never reaching tens of thousands. He ca three tis, each ti with an interval of several months. The exact months, I can’t recall."
Wu Junhao then interrupted Liu Haozi: "I need specific tis!"
"I really don’t rember." Liu Haozi said.
"Don’t you have a ledger? The transaction tis should be there. If you really can’t recall, think about what was happening at the ti; I need specific tis." Wu Junhao said decisively. This was the core requirent of the investigation group—simply knowing a nickna isn’t enough, they would need multi-faceted verification to locate a person, far better than diligently searching through hotel records. If hotel records couldn’t be found, even tracing nicknas wouldn’t waste ti.
And right now, requiring Liu Haozi to disclose accurate tis and hand over the ledger has the effect of validation.
Naturally, Liu Haozi was unwilling to hand over the ledger; this amounted to solidifying his own cris. But at this point, Wu Junhao had too many resources; it only took bringing in soone additional to explain policies to him for him to understand the outcos were the sa, and his last bit of struggle was then gone.
Two days later.
The investigation group’s hands were filled with information from multiple sources, so real, so fake, so unclear, with a significant amount of ti spent in verification phases.
However, with the cooperation of police from various locations, even though many details trace back 10 years, 15 years, and even further, certain information was confird.
Among them, the most eye-catching was a phone number provided by Liu Haozi.
Though it was abandoned, records from back then were available, and after retrieving the corresponding information, the suspect’s location range and tis were made more specific.
Another day later, a shabby, worn-out notebook was solemnly delivered to the investigation group’s three leaders.
"Look here." From countless shabby record books, Shen Yaowei—still wearing a mask and forgetting to take it off—slurred indistinctly as he said, "This is a record of Li Yuan’s hotel ti and location matching Fire Bull. The key point is here a phone number was filled out, likely required by the clerk. Look, the first few digits match the number Liu Haozi provided us, with only the last three digits differing. I estimate it’s either the sa batch or they made it up randomly."
