As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

According to the reporter's phone records, Li Zhen called him three times that night, two at a little after 3 a.m. and the third at around 4:4 a.m.

"Just start watching from 3:50." Ye Lin ordered.

The police officer operating the computer skillfully pulled the progress bar, and the time soon came to 3:50.

This is road surveillance and is not completely facing the grocery store, so you can only see the grocery store entrance in the corner.

There were basically no pedestrians on the road in the early morning except for the occasional car passing by.

It was not until 4 a.m. that a man in black walked over from the left side of the screen. He was wearing a jacket with a large pattern on the back, but it was not clear what it was.

He didn't walk fast at all, and he didn't seem like someone who was in a hurry to go home. It felt like he was just strolling on the street.

He walked slowly to the door of the grocery store, looked around, then squatted down, grabbed the bottom edge of the rolling shutter and shook it hard.

The rolling shutter door was shaking visibly. Although there was no sound from the surveillance camera, it was conceivable that at this time, the sudden noise should have woken up Li Zhen who was sleeping inside.

However, this guy didn't seem to want to open the door. He just shook the rolling shutter door and walked away, leaving the surveillance range.

"Is this guy a prankster?"

"It seems that he is not the murderer." Qian said in a low voice, "Then Li Zhen called her boyfriend at this time, so she must have heard this voice."

"It's hard to say. This guy walks so slowly. It doesn't seem like he did it suddenly. It should be premeditated. So he might just be exploring the way." Ye Lin retorted indifferently.

Chief Qian tilted his head and glanced at Ye Lin. "I don't think you look like a police officer, but a criminal. The sense of substitution is too strong."

"roll!"

Soon, 2 minutes later, the man really appeared in the surveillance again. This time he walked stealthily to the door of the grocery store and confirmed that there was no sound inside.

"Li Zhen probably just made two phone calls to her boyfriend, then noticed that the rolling shutter door was silent, so she ignored it and probably went back to sleep."

In the surveillance video, the man listened for a while, then quickly squatted down, took out something and started to pry the lock.

I have to say this guy has pretty good skills. The rolling shutter door shook slightly a few times and he pulled it halfway up.

The time now is 4:30 in the morning.

The man crouched down and went inside, and the surveillance footage began to seem still again.

It wasn't until 4:52 that there was movement again in the surveillance video.

The rolling shutter door was pulled up, and a man came out with a woman in his arms.

Although the surveillance video is not high definition, you can still see the white patches on the woman's body, which means she is probably not wearing any clothes.

The man moved the woman out with great effort and pulled down the shutter door. He then sat down at the door of the grocery store holding the woman.

At 5:03, there was movement again in the surveillance video. A car drove over, and its headlights swept over the two people before stopping in front of the breakfast shop.

This should be the breakfast shop owner coming to open the shop for work.

The man seemed to be startled by the car lights. He picked up the woman and walked across the street.

In the video, the woman's hands just hung down casually, without any movement.

The owner of the breakfast shop just took a few quick glances and quickly opened the shop to go back to work. The man disappeared from the surveillance camera and never appeared again.

After watching the surveillance video, everyone in the group felt depressed. "This woman is in great danger."

"No matter what, we should catch the person back as soon as possible. Linzi, what do you think we should do?" Yu Haifeng started asking Ye Lin out of habit.

Ye Lin thought for a moment and said, "Captain Qian and I will investigate in the direction he came from, and Captain Yu, you will investigate in the direction he went. Then let Qi Shan continue to watch the surveillance to see if he can be seen on other roads."

"Okay, everyone, take action and try to catch him today!" Yu Haifeng gave the order decisively.

The personnel from the Criminal Investigation Brigade and the police station were simply mixed together and then divided into three teams to start the operation.

Ye Lin followed Qian to investigate in the direction the man came from.

"Captain Ye, this is all residential area. There are not many commercial entities, just a few shops on the roadside. If you go further, there is a street for late-night snacks, and then there are residential areas." Qian introduced.

"Chief Qian, who would be wandering around outside at 4 in the morning?" Ye Lin asked.

"According to our experience, those who are still outside at this time basically have criminal records. They either drank for a long time or went out to dance or something like that."

"Then let's go to the night snack street and send a photo to a few brothers. We can visit them separately and it will be faster."

In addition to Ye Lin and Qian Suo, there were three auxiliary police officers following them.

Soon, Chief Qian brought Ye Lin to a night snack street, which was not far from the crime scene, only about 20 minutes' walk. If one did not want to go home after drinking late at night, wandering around would likely lead him to the crime scene.

Although it mainly serves midnight snacks, it is already past eleven o'clock and many stores are already open, mainly to prepare food for the evening.

Ye Lin and his five companions began to visit each store one by one, holding the photos. Ye Lin also asked a few stores, but the owners all said that business was too good and they couldn't remember.

Although this is not a bustling commercial street, many people come here to eat because the food is cheap and has strong flavors. It is hard to remember the places when there are so many people.

Another point is that the group of people who get up in the morning to prepare food and the group of people who stayed up the latest last night are not necessarily the same group of people. Their schedules differ.

After asking around without any results, Ye Lin had no other options.

"Captain Ye, why don't you eat something first and then continue the investigation." Chief Qian suggested. Work is work, but meals are still necessary.

"Okay, I'll treat you. It's rare for us to have a meal together." Ye Lin said generously.

"That won't do. The leader of your branch comes to our territory. It's not right for the guests to pay." Chief Qian shook his head and refused.

Ye Lin smiled slightly and hugged Qian Suo directly, "Okay, I'm a bachelor, I have money but nowhere to spend it, so just treat it as a helper for your brother."

Chief Qian laughed out loud, "Okay, everyone says Captain Ye is very generous, so let's go and see for ourselves."

"Don't just look at it, eat more." Ye Lin joked.

The five people randomly found a restaurant and sat down without asking for a private room.

The private room is used for discussing things. They are here to investigate a case, and they can hear a lot of useful information while eating in the hall.

At Ye Lin's repeated insistence, several people ordered a table full of delicious dishes. Several auxiliary police brothers were also smiling happily, but after all, they were looking for someone, so they didn't drink.
