Chapter 510 Analysis of Surveillance Videos (Two-in-One Request for Vote)

Li Yun shook his head: "We checked carefully. Everyone who came in and out didn't have anything in their hands. It's summer again, and they are all wearing light clothes. There is still gold in so much money. If it is caught, it will be found."

The videos are all normal, exported directly from the storage hard drive, and cannot be tampered with.

Leaving the window on the east wall, Chen Yan walked around the room twice again.

The layout of the entire room is not complicated. Chen Yan has personally checked several possible entry and exit locations.

Indeed, as Li Yun said, nothing unusual was found.

After leaving the Huanhai No. 1 villa area, Li Yun had a sad look on his face: "Team Chen, what should we do next?"

A theft case is not a big case, but the amount involved is more than 2 million, so Li Yun is still under a lot of pressure.

"In this case, you first give me a copy of the surveillance camera of the owner's house, as well as a copy of the confessions of everyone who has been in and out of the study. I will go back and take a look at it tonight."

Although there were no obvious clues in the case, Chen Yan was not particularly worried.

Judging from the current clues, there are no signs of damage to the doors or windows in the stolen study. Guo Pan also said that no outsiders have been here recently.

So, if it weren't for the robber who knew how to walk through walls, the suspect would have been obvious.

It must have been done by relatives of Guo Pan and Wang Beifang.

However, now we need to determine who it is and how the other party stole the things.

Li Yun nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to get things ready."

In the afternoon, Chen Yan did not get off work on time.

I haven't returned to the team for half a month, and Chen Yan's desk has accumulated a lot of official business that needs to be dealt with.

Since becoming the deputy captain of the Liancheng Detective Team, Chen Yan's job has not only been to solve cases, but also a lot of desk work.

Liancheng is the second largest city in Liao Province with a large population. Even if we look at the entire country of China, Liancheng's population ranks among the top twenty.

In such a populous city, many small cases occur every day.

Chen Yan himself is personally responsible for major and important cases with relatively high impact, such as homicides.

As for other small cases, they are naturally handled by the detective team under their jurisdiction.

However, all grassroots detective teams must report to the Liancheng Detective Team on all cases, no matter how big or small.

Relevant reporting materials and data report statements must be reviewed.

This is the difference in job positions and the different nature of the work.

When he was at the grassroots level, Chen Yan had very little desk work.

But it's different now. In half a month, dozens of documents have accumulated on Chen Yan's desk, all of which require his approval within a short period of time.

Chen Yan was actually not used to it at first, but after reading more than a dozen documents, he gradually got used to it.

No wonder Chen Yan would sit down on his desk and write and draw every time he went to see big leaders, such as Qin Chuan, or Sang Jianguo, the captain of the Huaguo Detective Corps.

Actually, I’m not trying to show off, it turns out there really is so much work.

The deputy captain of the Liancheng Detective Team has so many documents to read, let alone the Liancheng Detective Brigade or the Hua Guo Detective Corps.

After reading for two hours, Chen Yan finished reading all the documents.

After sitting motionless in the chair for two hours, I couldn't help but feel a little soreness in my back while reading Chen Yan.

It is simply more tiring than reading ten files.

Still, there are benefits to reviewing these documents.

Through these materials, Chen Yan had a very clear understanding of the situation of the entire Liancheng Detective Team in the past half month.

After finishing the work on his desk, Chen Yan turned on his computer and looked at the video sent by Li Yun and the interrogation transcripts of Guo Pan's relatives.

First is the video.

Chen Yan probably viewed the video on the 28th.

As Li Yun and Guo Pan said, during the day on the 28th, no one except Guo Pan entered or left the study.

Moreover, the study door is locked and the windows are closed.

There was also a public video in the community on the back wall of the east wing of the villa, and Chen Yan also took a look at it.

Although the east wing of Guo Pan's villa is close to the public road in the community, this road is not the main road. No one passed by during the day on the 28th.

Pulling up the video from the evening of the 27th, Chen Yan observed carefully.

At 7:43 pm, when it was just dark, Wang Beifang took his son to unlock the study door and entered the study.

Although it is already dark, the cameras installed in Wang Beifang's home are not only high-definition, but also have night vision capabilities.

It can be seen from the video that Wang Beifang personally opened the locked study door. After entering the door, the lights in the study came on, and Wang Beifang's son opened the window for ventilation.

Because of the light in the study, the yard is much brighter and the video is clearer.

After a while, the sound of clanging knocks and the squeaking of a wood saw cutting wood could be heard in the video.

Because of the angle of the surveillance camera, the specific situation in the study could not be captured, but from the sound, it could be heard that Wang Beifang was doing carpentry work at that time.

At 7:59, the third person entered the study.

It’s Wang Beifang’s sister, Wang Xiaorou.

At 8:10, Wang Xiaorou walked out of the study.

Wang Xiaorou stayed in the study for eleven minutes.

According to Wang Xiaorou's transcript, after dinner in the evening, Wang Xiaorou helped the nanny clean up the dishes and then went to the guest room in the west wing to rest.

"At around 7 o'clock, I got up when I heard the sound of my elder brother doing carpentry work, and then went to the east wing."

The reason why Wang Xiaorou went to the study was very simple. Every time after Wang Beifang finished his carpentry activities, she had to help Wang Beifang clean up the sawdust in the study.

But because Wang Beifang spent a long time doing carpentry work that night, Wang Xiaorou went in and watched for more than ten minutes and came out knowing that Wang Beifang couldn't finish the work in a while.

It was not until finally, at 10:30 pm, that Wang Xiaorou walked into the study again.

At that time, Wang Beifang had finished his carpentry work and went back to rest.

Wang Xiaorou just started cleaning the room and collecting sawdust.

In other words, Wang Xiaorou was the last person to enter the study room on the night of the crime.

At 10:56, Wang Xiaorou turned off the lights, closed the window and walked out of the study. After locking the door, she returned to the guest room opposite the study to sleep.

However, in the video, Wang Xiaorou has nothing in her hands except a plastic dustpan filled with sawdust and a broom placed at the door of the study.

Moreover, Wang Xiaorou was wearing half-sleeves and shorts at that time, and there was no place to hide anything on her body.

As for whether Wang Xiaorou saw the Golden Buddha that night, it was recorded in the transcript: "I didn't pay much attention to the Golden Buddha. The place where my eldest brother does carpentry work is on the south side of the study. The Golden Buddha is placed on the bookshelf on the north wall of the study. There were no sawdust on the side and I didn’t go that way, and I really didn’t pay attention to whether the golden Buddha was there or not.”

In addition to Wang Xiaorou who entered and exited the study twice that night, seven other people also entered and exited the study.

They are Guo Pan, Guo Pan's fourth brother Guo Shoucheng, second sister Guo Ying and Guo Ying's son Lu Zihao.

The remaining three are relatives of Wang Beiku, Wang Beiku's fourth brother Wang Beiju, Wang Beiju's daughter Wang Jianhong and Wang Yichen, the son of Wang Beikui's eldest brother.

These people came to celebrate Guo Pan's birthday and have been staying at Wang Beifang's home for the past two days.

On the evening of the 27th, Wang Beifang was doing carpentry work in his study, and several people came over to watch the fun.

The three children, all about the same size, were playing and quarreling in the study room, which could be heard clearly in the video.

According to the information given by Guo Pan, Guo Pan entered the study just after 8 o'clock that night, and then she came out and never went in again.

At that time, Guo Pan was very sure of the existence of the Golden Buddha on the bookshelf, which meant that the Golden Buddha was not lost just after 8 pm on the 27th.

It’s hard to say whether the cash in the drawer was there at that time, because it had been a long time and neither Guo Pan nor Wang Beifang had looked through the cash in the drawer.

But the gold jewelry and the golden Buddha were there. Guo Pan went into the study that night to get the cat's eye ring she was wearing.

Therefore, the time period when things were lost was from just after 8 pm on the 27th to when Wang Xiaorou finished cleaning the study.

The specific time, according to the monitoring records, was from 8:12 to 10:56.

Everyone during this period is suspected.

But who is it?

Chen Yan has already watched the entire video of that night. Chen Yan watched everyone entering and exiting the study very carefully. The temperature was relatively high that night and everyone was dressed coolly. No one could combine a golden Buddha and 300,000 in cash. There are also so many gold and silver jewelry hidden in the body and taken out.

What exactly is going on?

Chen Yan, who was leaning on the seat, frowned and thought about every frame in the video.

The expressions and clothes of every person who came in and out of the study were the focus of Chen Yan's careful and repeated study.

However, nothing unusual.

Nothing unusual really.

A 1 kilogram golden Buddha, a large box of gold and jade jewelry, and 300,000 in cash.

If you want to take so many things with you, you should at least have a bag, right?

How could there be no trace on the body? Did the other party eat something in his stomach?

abdomen?

etc!

Gan!

Chen Yan suddenly thought of a detail. Although there was no possibility that anyone in the surveillance room might have brought anything with them, something did go out of the study at 10:01 that night.

Maitreya.

Yes, there was a wooden Maitreya Buddha that had been moved out of the study that night.

That thing...

Is it possible that the lost golden Buddha cash and gold and silver jewelry were hidden in Maitreya Buddha?

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Yan thought it was more likely.

Everyone who came in and out of the study that night, including Guo Pan and Wang Beifang and his wife, the owners of the finance, had read Chen Yan one by one. It was impossible for him to take anything out with him.

Then, this Maitreya Buddha is the only carrier.

ha!

After a long stretch, Chen Yan looked up at the quartz clock on the wall. It was already 9:30.

The sky had already darkened, and Chen Yan decided to go home.

At this time, there is no need to track down the whereabouts of Maitreya Buddha in the middle of the night.

Moreover, now that the suspicion has been found, the rest is easy to handle.

All he has to do tomorrow is go to Guo Pan's house and ask why the Maitreya Buddha was carried out, where the things went, and who the thief is will be revealed.

After clearing up the files on the desktop, closing the computer, Chen Yan hummed a little tune and left the office.

Sister Xiaoyu is still waiting for me at home.

A spring night is worth a thousand dollars.

How can you let a beautiful woman stay in the empty boudoir?

wakaka……

Chen Yan, who laughed twice, was obviously in a very good mood.

This is how solving a case is, the discovery of a clue is a sense of accomplishment.

What's more, the wooden Maitreya Buddha may very well point to the end of the case.

Sister Xiaoyu is indeed reliable.

It was almost 10 o'clock when Chen Yan got home.

On the dining table, there are three dishes, one soup, and a bowl of scallion noodles.

"I'll go heat it up again."

Seeing Chen Yan coming back, Shen Yunyi, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up quickly: "Is there any case today?"

Chen Yan doesn't work much overtime at ordinary times. When he doesn't have a case, he can usually go to and from get off work normally, so if he comes back late, it should be because he has a case.

Chen Yan nodded: "It's just a theft case. Although it's a bit tricky, we already have some clues. It's estimated that we will have the result tomorrow."

Chen Yan, who had changed out of his leather shoes, walked to Sister Yu who was about to heat up the food: "No need to heat it up."

"Eat and you will be full."

"It's so itchy..."

Chen Yan's hot breath and whispers reached his ears, and half of Shen Yunyi's body went numb.

He almost dropped the plate in his hand: "Quickly stop making trouble...eat first."

"No, just eat you... okay?"

Shen Yunyi never knew why Chen Yan's tongue was so hot.

It was as hot as a soldering iron, and goosebumps appeared on my neck.

It was as if I had suddenly done a set of yoga, and there was no strength left in my body.

"Don't make trouble, don't bite me... go wash your hands and eat!"

Chen Yan giggled and slapped someone, and entered the bathroom under the look of Xiao Yujie's coquettish eyes.

"My dear wife, I will definitely sweep up all the food you cooked with your own hands!"

Life is like this, that is, there are times when there are mountains and rivers, doubts and no way out, and there are times when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and there is another village.

There are also times when the road ahead is bright and clear, and then you suddenly fall into a pit.

The next day, Chen Yan found the wooden Maitreya Buddha in the backyard of Guo Pan's villa.

Today, Guo Pan's husband Wang Beifang is at home. This is also the first time that Chen Yan sees Wang Beifang.

"This is a practice piece that I learned wood carving a while ago."

Wang Beifang was born as a carpenter. Over the years, he has never failed to do these things.

Whenever I have free time, I will tinker with these things in my study.

At the beginning of this year, Wang Beifang came into contact with wood carving and began to learn carving.

The Maitreya Buddha carried out from the study room on the evening of the 27th was his latest sculpture.

"It's impossible to hide anything in here. It's solid. There's no place to hide anything in it."

Chen Yan's face looked a little ugly.

Chen Yan has studied this wooden Maitreya Buddha carefully.

Although the wood is ordinary, it refers to ordinary white birch.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is not suitable for wood carving.

Because the texture of the birch tree is soft and contains a large amount of water, general temperature changes and time accumulation will cause the birch tree to deform.

Wood carvings carved from this kind of wood cannot be preserved for a long time, or they may lose their original beauty due to deformation after being carved.

However, it is like two sides of a philosophical problem.

Beauty and ugliness are not absolute, and neither are advantages and disadvantages.

Because the wood of birch is soft, it is very easy to carve, which is very suitable for beginners to learn and exercise.

After learning the basic skills of wood carving through birch training, you can then transition to harder wood and advance step by step to improve your wood carving skills.

The wooden carving of this Maitreya Buddha is very rough, the expression is stiff, the belly is not round, the layers of clothes are not clear, and there are many burrs.

The Maitreya Buddha is about half a meter tall and weighs about 50 kilograms.

With Chen Yan's strength, he easily picked up the wooden sculpture.

However, it was this hug that made Chen Yan know that this thing was solid as Wang Beifang said.

It's impossible to hide anything in here.

"Although I didn't pay attention to whether the Golden Buddha was there that day, this thing was placed next to the workbench where I was doing carpentry work."

"Because it was quite big and in the way, I had to have a few little guys lift it out."

Failed.

Chen Yan knew that the clue he found in the video last night was completely worthless.

According to Wang Beifang's recollection, the Maitreya Buddha never left his sight that night. No matter who stole the golden Buddha, cash and gold jewelry, it was impossible to use this thing to transport the stolen goods.

But other than this thing, what other thing can transport so much stolen goods out of the study quietly?

There were many people in the study room on the evening of the 27th, although most of them gathered around Wang Beifang to watch him do carpentry work.

However, if someone really tampered with such a big Maitreya Buddha, it would be impossible not to be discovered.

But, apart from this thing, it’s really impossible.

Chen Yan frowned, a little unwilling to give up.

"Mr. Wang, this wooden sculpture of Maitreya Buddha...can you split it open and take a look?"

Split?

Wang Beifang was stunned for a moment, but then nodded: "Oh, this is no problem. This Maitreya Buddha is a piece of wood carving that I practiced. Well, it's no problem to split it."

"good!"

Li Yun, who came with Chen Yan, turned around and left to look for the ax after hearing Wang Beifang's promise.

As a result, after Chen Yan said "good", he put his palms together with the knife and struck the Maitreya Buddha wooden sculpture's belly directly.

Click!

A crack on Maitreya Buddha's belly seemed to be reflected on Li Yun's face.

Li Yun was so shocked that he almost dislocated his mouth when he was looking for an axe.

Wang Beifang, who was on the side, also stared at Chen Yan and the wooden sculpture of Maitreya Buddha that had been split open.

This, this, this...

Split with your hands?

How about playing?

This is fucking wet wood.

In order to better practice wood carving skills, Wang Beifang chose wet birch, so that the hardness of the birch would be very small, making it easier for him to cut.

However, wet wood has less hardness but stronger toughness.

Wood fibers are more elastic.

It would take a lot of effort to cut this kind of wood with an ax or a chain saw, let alone by hand.

Did you just get split open with a palm?

Is this a human being?

If such a palm falls on someone...

Wang Beifang's mind was buzzing.

The same goes for Li Yun. He knew that Chen Yan was very powerful, but he didn't know that it was such a powerful method.

After swallowing, Li Yun observed a second of silence for the Maitreya Buddha on the ground.
