Detective from the future

Chapter 148 Surprise
"If Li Weili wasn't there, how did he disconnect from the Internet?" Zhao Ming wondered.

"This is not the point. It may be an accident or it may be man-made. He is a professional maintenance personnel of the communication company, and he must have more methods than us." Han Bin said disapprovingly.

"Tian Li, Zhao Ming, you two go to the communication company, find the person in charge of the company and ask whether the battery in the base station near the Antique Street is welded or fixed with screws." Zeng Ping urged:

"Be careful not to arouse the vigilance of the suspect."

"Yes."

If the battery belongs to the screw combination, it proves that Li Weili lied, and there is reason to re-investigate him.

"The key is to find the evidence of Li Weili's theft. Otherwise, he only needs to say one thing at that time. At that time, he was nervous and said the wrong thing. We can't do anything about him." Han Bin found a toothpick and held it in his mouth, which would help him think.

"Three days have passed since the incident, do you think Li Weili has sold the battery?" Li Hui asked subconsciously.

"Based on my experience, it is unlikely. He knows that we are investigating this matter. If he rushes to act now, he may be noticed by the police. I think he will avoid the limelight and sell it after a while." Zeng Ping analyzed.

"Then where will he hide the battery?" Zhao Ming said.

"Will he hide at home like Yao Chuang?" Tian Li guessed.

"It's unlikely. His situation is different from Yao Chuang's. He himself is involved in the case and has made a record. He is likely to be regarded as a suspect by the police. How could he take the risk and hide the battery in his home?" Han Bin shook his head.

"Where can he hide?" Everyone was thinking about this question.

After a while, Han Bin said, "I think there are two possibilities."

Everyone's eyes were attracted, and Sun Xiaopeng asked curiously, "Which two possibilities?"

"Firstly, Li Weili may have an accomplice. After he removed the battery, he asked his accomplice to transport the battery away. The accomplice is responsible for hiding and disposing of the stolen goods. You can check Li Weili's communication records to see if there are any close contacts around the time of the crime. .”

"Secondly, Li Weili may have committed the crime alone. Before we arrived at the scene where the base station was stolen, he needed to disassemble, load, and transport it. He didn't have much time to commit the crime, which means that the place where the battery is hidden is not far away. I suggest searching around the base station. .”

"Both suggestions are good."

Zeng Ping nodded in agreement: "Xiaopeng and I checked the communication records; Han Bin and Li Hui went to search near the base station."

The people acted separately.

……

Han Bin and Li Hui drove to the base station near Antique Street.

The two ate something at the Red Farmhouse in the mountains, parked the car at the farmhouse, and walked to the mountain.

The two first went to check around the base station and found that monitoring was installed next to the base station. The two circled around and found nothing unusual.

"Binzi, where do you think Li Weili can hide the battery?" Li Hui asked.

"I don't know." Han Bin lit a cigarette and took a puff: "Go around and see if there are any traces."

"The battery is so heavy, he can't move it by himself. It must be transported by car. Let's look along the road to see if there are any clues around the road." Li Hui said.

The two of them were not in a hurry, and walked slowly along the mountain road. The surrounding scenery was good and the air was fresh. It was a good place for travel, outing, and mountain climbing.

Li Hui looked around while walking, and said with a smile: "If I have a girlfriend in the future, I will take her here for a picnic. It is comfortable, romantic, and not afraid of being disturbed."

Han Bin reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "There will be that day."

Li Hui smirked, as if he had fallen into longing.

Han Bin shook his head. He was no longer surprised by Li Hui's behavior of taking pleasure in nothing, and continued to walk up the mountain road.

After walking forward for a while, there was a flat open space in front of which cars could drive directly. Han Bin saw tire marks on the open space, so he squatted down to check it.

"Like the tire tracks of a pickup truck."

"So, the battery is probably hidden nearby?" Li Hui asked back.

Han Bin didn't answer, and walked forward along the tire marks. About ten meters away, the tire marks disappeared, but there were some messy footprints.

Further forward, there is a piece of land that is too flat, and it can be vaguely seen that it is somewhat different from the surrounding land.

Han Bin snapped his fingers and pointed to the flat land: "Let's get started."

Li Hui took out an engineering shovel from his bag and started digging after assembling it.

"Binzi, how about changing every 5 minutes?"

"Your physical strength is too poor." Han Bin laughed.

"Then change in 10 minutes, how about it?"

"OK."

Li Hui took the engineer shovel and dug on the flat ground. After digging for about six to seven minutes, he felt that something hard was dug, and the engineer shovel could not pierce it.

"Damn it, it's over before the replacement." Li Hui said in surprise.

Han Bin had expected it a long time ago, and it was impossible for Li Weili to dig too deep in his haste.

After scraping off the dirt on it, there is a layer of white plastic sheeting, and there is a thick layer of felt sheeting underneath, and the battery is wrapped inside.

"Haha, it didn't come in vain this time, the engineer shovel is a meritorious service." Li Hui smiled and took out a battery from the pit.

"Pose." Han Bin took out his phone, took a photo of Li Hui, and sent it to the second chat group.

The WeChat group immediately boiled over.

Zhao Ming made a surprised expression: "Damn it, is this the legendary Luoyang shovel? Brother Hui, you are awesome."

"Student Xiao Ming, the point is whether the battery is good or not. What's on your mind every day?" Tian Li posted a disdainful icon.

"Sister Tian, ​​I'm right next to you, why don't you just say it." Zhao Ming made a sweaty expression.

Tian Li: "..."

An hour later, Zeng Ping led a technical team to the scene to investigate and take pictures to collect evidence.

Han Bin asked with a toothpick in his mouth, "Captain Zeng, how is your investigation going?"

"In Li Weili's communication records, there is no particularly frequent contact. It should be unlikely that he has accomplices." Zeng Ping said.

Han Bin's conjecture is consistent.

"As for welding or screw assembly, the communication company has not given a clear answer. They still need to check the original information, and they can't alarm Li Weili. It may take some time." Zeng Ping was a little dissatisfied.

This shows that the internal management of the communication company is relatively chaotic, which has laid a hidden danger for the base station theft case, and it can be regarded as a lesson for them.

The survey results came out soon. The tire prints belonged to the pickup truck, the footprints were also collected, and the fingerprints on the battery belonged to Li Weili.

"Captain Zeng, do you want to arrest Li Weili?" Sun Xiaopeng clenched his bowl-sized fist, eager to try.

Zeng Ping thought for a while: "The time has not come yet."

"The battery has been found, and fingerprints, footprints, and tire marks have also been found. Isn't it enough to convict Li Weili?" Sun Xiaopeng has few cases involved, and his theoretical knowledge is good, but his practical application is a little rusty.

"Li Weili is a base station maintenance worker. It is normal to have his fingerprints on the battery. As for the footprints and tire prints, they can only be used as the basis for investigation and cannot be used as evidence for concluding the case." Zeng Ping explained.

"Then what should we do now?" Sun Xiaopeng asked.

Zeng Ping didn't answer, but turned to look at Han Bin who was aside: "What do you think?"

"Since he hid the battery here, and the cover is so tight, he will have to come back to pick it up sooner or later, so why not come and wait." Han Bin suggested.

Zeng Ping nodded, he and Han Bin had the same thoughts.

"Then we will work in two shifts. I, Tian Li, and Sun Xiaopeng will watch during the day, and Han Bin, Li Hui, and Zhao Ming will watch at night. As soon as Li Weili comes, we will arrest him and give him his stolen goods. " Zeng Ping arranged.

Han Bin patted Li Hui's shoulder with a smile: "Okay, this time your picnic dream has come true, isn't it romantic and surprising?"
