As the investigation deepened.

Related clues are gradually emerging.

10:00 AM.

Guan Feng received a call from Li Xiangdong.

"Team leader! We have results from the monitoring center!"

Li Xiangdong's tone revealed a strange excitement.

Guan Feng asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Xiangdong said, "Li Lan went to work at the First Hospital after leaving the Nanguo Emerald City residential area, but she was delayed by half an hour on the way!"

Guan Feng asked, "Where?"

"Ring road!"

"I'll take men there immediately."

Ten minutes later.

The group met at the intersection of the ring road.

As soon as Guan Feng got out of the car, he saw Li Xiangdong coming to greet him.

He pointed to both ends of the road and said, "Team leader! This is the road. It's only a little over 300 meters long. Even if Li Lan has short legs, she should be able to get there in about four or five minutes. But the surveillance footage shows..."

"Li Lan entered the ring road at 4:53 and left at 5:22."

"That missing half hour is definitely suspicious! Team leader, I suggest we check the shops along the street to find out Li Lan's whereabouts. I refuse to believe we won't find her!"

Guan Feng waved his hand, stubbed out his cigarette, and pointed to a shop across the street, saying, "No need!"

......

Two minutes later.

Several people were standing in front of a key repair shop.

Li Xiangdong said admiringly, "Team leader, your eyesight is amazing!"

Guan Feng stubbed out his cigarette and waved his hand, saying, "We can use those flattering words after the case is solved!"

"It's Xiang Dong! Your flattery is so fake!"

"You're more likely to say the team leader could identify Li Lan with just one glance at the video! Eyesight? Is the shop name not eye-catching enough?"

They all burst into laughter.

Li Xiangdong rubbed his teeth awkwardly.

Guan Feng said, "Let's go in and check the situation first."

Enter the store.

Behind the glass counter stood a dark-skinned middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, glancing sideways at them.

Guan Feng offered him a cigarette and asked, "What's your name?"

The shop owner wiped his hands and took the cigarette with his slightly greasy right hand, saying, "Hey! I'm a rough guy, call me whatever you like, just call me Old Li. Are you guys here to have your keys made?"

Guan Feng nodded and asked, "I wonder what level of keys you can make?"

Old Li said with some pride, "You've come to the right person! Let me put it this way, there's no key on the market that I can't make a copy of."

Guan Feng asked, "Does that also include those made from inkpad rubbings?"

Old Li was about to nod when he suddenly glanced at the group and asked, "What are you doing here? You're not police officers, are you?"

"You reacted quickly!"

Seeing this, Guan Feng stopped talking and took out his police ID.

Old Li glanced at it and said with an awkward laugh, "Hey! In our line of work, how many of us don't get called in three or five times a year? If you can't tell, it just means your skills aren't good enough."

Guan Feng strode in: "Did anyone come to make a key around 5 PM yesterday?"

Old Li frowned: "Then I'll have to think about it carefully!"

"It was made using ink paste!"

Guan Feng offered a reminder.

Old Li smacked his lips and nodded, saying, "I remember now, there was a woman, quite pretty, I remember her very well. Officers, did she commit a crime? Let me clarify first, I just need a key made. She said it was the key to her safe and she wanted to make a copy for her husband."

Li Xiangdong said, "You don't need to rush to distance yourself. Our police will make our own judgment. Just answer the questions!"

He handed over the photo and asked, "Is this her?"

Old Li took the photo, then picked up his reading glasses, carefully scanned it under the light, and nodded, saying, "That's right! It's her! I was wondering why such a pretty girl would come to have a key made. I never expected her to be a thief! She almost killed this old man!"

Guan Feng glanced at the surveillance camera in the upper right corner of the doorway and said, "Shall we retrieve the surveillance video?"

Old Li hurriedly said, "No problem! No problem! You see."

Guan Feng then gave Li Xiangdong a wink.

Li Xiangdong stepped forward to retrieve the relevant surveillance footage.

Five minutes later.

The video footage is displayed clearly.

Li Lan walked into the shop, handed over the inkpad, and left twenty minutes later with a key.

Guan Feng frowned and said, "Take the original video file with you."

Li Xiangdong nodded.

A moment later.

The group walked out of the shop.

Li Xiangdong said excitedly, "Team leader! The evidence looks conclusive! It was Li Lan who stole the key. She's the prime suspect. Should we go to the hospital and arrest her immediately?"

Guan Feng nodded: "We do need to go to the hospital, but we can't neglect other places either."

He looked at Wang Xun and said, "Lily is already waiting at the hospital, so we don't need so many people. Here's what we'll do! Go back to Emerald City in the South, retrieve the property surveillance footage, and check Li Lan's whereabouts again. Xiang Dong, you come with me to the hospital."

"yes!"

"receive!"

The group nodded in agreement.

The police car headed straight for the city hospital.

Taking the impact into consideration.

The group traveled light and simply.

When they arrived at the hospital, Huang Lili was already waiting in the parking lot.

The three met up and prepared to go upstairs.

A commotion suddenly broke out in the lobby on the first floor.

"What's going on?"

Guan Feng frowned and walked over.
