Chapter 538 The Case
Because of the affair, life in the resort is not easy, and the number of tourists is more than half less than in previous years.

In order to increase passenger flow, the resort issued a large number of coupons, with four discount levels, namely [-]% discount, [-]% discount, [-]% discount, and [-]% discount.

The number of tourists has just picked up, and now that this incident has happened again, the senior management of the resort is very depressed, and they also attach great importance to this case, hoping that the police can solve the case as soon as possible.

The resort also tried its best to meet the requirements of the police, and vacated two offices for the police to use.

Han Bin was going to hold a case summary meeting, and called the criminal investigation team of Yuhua Branch and the police from the police station to the office, while the auxiliary police watched from outside.

Although Han Bin was at the scene when the diamond was stolen, he did not participate in the investigation of the case, nor did he read the transcripts of other personnel, so he was not clear about the follow-up investigation of the case.

Han Bin asked for the files of the diamond theft case, flipped through the contents, and asked, "Why are there only fourteen transcripts?"

Sergeant Huang replied, "Before the guests came, the waiters of the resort arranged the things in the lobby, and then the waiters stood at the door of the lobby. They didn't enter the lobby when they were watching the sunset, so we just asked a few questions. Sentence, no record was given to them."

Han Bin shook, "No, I remember that there should be fifteen guests watching the sunset in the hall at that time, and one person was missing."

"No way, there were fourteen people when we went there." Policeman Xiao Wu said.

Han Bin recalled carefully, "A guest left before Ma Fangfang noticed that the diamond was missing. Before entering the lobby, the waiter registered the room number and number of people. The resort should have a record."

Sergeant Huang touched his chin, "No one has really responded to this situation, and no one mentioned it in the transcript."

Han Bin frowned. Most people have the attitude that more things are worse than less things. This kind of question should be asked by the police, "Contact the foreman Song Nannan and ask her to bring the records of the day."

Sergeant Huang pointed to the policeman beside him, "Xiao Wu, you go get in touch."

"Yes."

Han Bin put down the file and said, "I probably understand the situation. I have seen the diamond theft case, but I haven't seen the scene of the burglary case. You should have seen it all, right?"

Li Hui nodded and said, "I've seen it."

Sergeant Huang also nodded.

Han Bin asked, "From the existing evidence, do you think these two cases are related?"

Chief Huang said, "The victim of the burglary case is Qiao Songliang. From the current point of view, the two victims do not know each other, and there is no evidence that the two cases are connected."

"Has there been any theft in the resort before?" Han Bin asked.

Sergeant Huang replied, "I asked the person in charge of the hotel, there was a theft case the year before last, but not last year."

Li Hui went on to say, "It looks like the law and order in the hotel is good, and the cases don't happen frequently. Logically speaking, if these two cases are not related, they shouldn't happen so frequently."

Han Bin concluded, "If it's a series of thefts and the suspects are the same group, let's find out what they have in common. If it's not a series of thefts, why are the two cases happening so close together?"

"Another point is the cost of the theft. The cost of this resort is not low. If the suspect is pretending to be a guest and committing the theft, how much money will he have left after the hotel's accommodation expenses have been deducted from the money he stole?"

"Could it be that outsiders sneaked into the hotel to commit crimes?" Zhao Ming asked.

Han Bin shook his head, "It's not very likely. The resort has a large area and is equipped with a lot of surveillance cameras. If you are not familiar with the situation here, you may even get lost. Another diamond ring was lost in the sunset viewing hall. It's hard for outsiders to get in."

Police officer Huang boldly guessed, "Could it be done by the employees of the resort?"

Han Bin said, "This possibility is not ruled out."

"Dong dong..." At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

"Squeak..." A door rang.

Xiao Wu walked in with a famous woman.

This woman was wearing the uniform of the resort, she was Song Nannan, the female foreman of the Golden Terrace.

Han Bin got up and introduced, "Foreman Song, I'm Han Bin from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade, and I want to ask you a few questions."

"Okay." Song Nannan nodded and sized up Han Bin, "Mr. Han, you seem familiar."

"Yes, I am also a guest of our resort. I happened to be at the Golden Terrace that day. I also participated in the investigation of this case because I knew the situation at that time." After Han Bin finished speaking, he continued to ask, "When Ma Fangfang's diamond ring was stolen, How many customers and waiters are there at the Golden Terrace?"

Song Nannan said, "There are three waiters including me, including you and Ma Fangfang, and there are fourteen guests in total."

"No, I remember that there should be fifteen guests. Did someone leave in the middle?" Han Bin asked.

"Hey, the situation at that time..." Song Nannan showed a look of reminiscence, opened the record sheet she carried with her, and checked it carefully, "Yes, there was indeed a person who left the Golden Terrace, I remembered it, but, This individual left before calling the police."

"Leaving before calling the police doesn't mean he's not suspected," Han Bin said.

Sergeant Huang frowned, it was his mistake, and asked, "Foreman Song, what's the name of that guest?"

Song Nannan shook her head, "I don't know the name of the other party either. I just counted the room number and the number of people, and the total is fifteen. I have to check which one left first."

Han Bin thought for a moment, and then said, "In this way, compare the list of guests who stayed in the hotel with the list of transcripts to see who the person who left first is. Sergeant Huang is responsible for taking notes for him."

Sergeant Huang nodded, "No problem."

"Then let's do this first. Zhao Ming called Ma Fangfang in and made a record for her first."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Sergeant Huang took Song Nannan and left.

Only members of the criminal investigation team were left in the room, and Zhao Ming brought Ma Fangfang in.

Han Bin looked at the other party, "Ms. Ma, we need to make a record for you again."

"Ok."

"When did you come to the resort?"

Ma Fangfang recalled, "May 5, the day before the diamond ring was stolen."

"Does anyone know that you have come to the resort?"

"My parents have boyfriends."

"You came with two friends?"

"Yes, we made an appointment last year. We will come here to soak in the hot springs this year, but we were delayed for a while because of our love affair."

Han Bin changed the subject and asked, "How much is the diamond ring you lost worth?"

"It was bought by my boyfriend, I don't know very well."

"You estimate the price yourself?"

"Maybe twenty or thirty thousand."

"Do you have a picture of the ring?"

"Yes." Ma Fangfang replied, took out her mobile phone from a blue bag, and found a picture of the diamond ring.

Han Bin checked it out. The weight of the diamond ring was not too big. This kind of diamond ring might cost 3000 to [-] yuan in a store, but it is estimated that it would not be worth [-] yuan in the second-hand market.

"Show me your bag."

"Okay." Ma Fangfang handed it over.

Han Bin flipped through it and found that the bag was exquisitely made, more than 20 centimeters long and about ten centimeters wide. He asked, "At that time, the diamond ring was placed in this bag?"

"Yes."

"How can I remember that your friend was also carrying a similar bag at that time."

"Yes, the three of us bought the bag together, and each of us bought one, which is a symbol of our friendship." Ma Fangfang said.

After reading it, Han Bin returned the bag to Ma Fangfang, "When was the last time you wore a diamond ring?"

Ma Fangfang recalled, "It was at the Golden Terrace that I put the diamond ring in my bag when we were watching the sunset. So I'm sure it must have been lost on the Golden Terrace."

"Why did you take off the ring?"

Ma Fangfang hesitated for a moment and said, "At that time, I was thinking about taking a few photos of the sunset and posting them on Moments. I felt that wearing a diamond ring was not good. After all... I am not married yet. If I wear a diamond ring to take pictures, everyone will know. So... I put the diamond ring in the bag."

Tian Li glanced at her, this woman named Ma Fangfang was very thoughtful.

Han Bin didn't care about this, and continued to ask, "Where is the bag?"

"It's on the table."

"Who was near the table at that time?"

"That's Li Lan and Zheng Rong. Other guests walked around, but I can't remember."

Han Bin asked, "Is it possible that Li Lan and Zheng Rong stole it?"

Ma Fangfang's tone was firm, "Impossible, the three of us have been chatting together, if they took something from my bag, I would definitely be able to see it."

"Then, have your eyes ever left your bag?"

Ma Fangfang recalled, "When the photo was taken, the three of us left the table and squeezed to the front to take a photo. I think it might have been stolen at that time."
