Chapter 69: Reputation Damaged



While Zhang Yaoyao was so busy that her hair was about to fly off her head, Tang Yan sat in the office with a calm face, listening to what the two policemen who came to handle the case said to him.

"President Tang, we've been searching for the suspect in the bank robbery based on your drawing, but we're still not making any progress. Shouldn't we try a different approach to solving the case?"

That’s right, the bank suffered a theft shortly after Tang Yan reported the case that night. Although Tang Yan rushed back to the bank that night and took remedial measures, he moved some important items to a more confidential safe.

When the theft occurred, the bank did not suffer any loss of financial or important information, but this bank theft incident still lowered the bank's favorability and seriously damaged their reputation.

This made Tang Yan even more convinced that the beautiful snake that hit him that night was the culprit of the theft. He had people keep an eye on the police station every day and was determined to find the beautiful snake.

But maybe it was because the beautiful woman who bumped into him heard the news, but during this period, the police station in City A mobilized all its police forces and almost searched City A and several nearby cities, but they still couldn't find the beautiful woman in Tang Yan's portrait.

The task force responsible for solving the bank theft case unanimously discussed whether Tang Yan's judgment was incorrect and that the suspect was not the beautiful woman in Tang Yan's portrait. They suspected that the woman had only bumped into him that night and had a brief physical contact with him, and was not the actual suspect behind the bank theft. This led to the current discussion.

At this moment, Tang Yan listened to the police's words, shook his head firmly and said affirmatively.

"How could that be? That night, it was the woman in the portrait who bumped into me and my wallet disappeared. I'm sure this woman is the one who stole my wallet. Maybe she stole the key and gave it to her accomplice, which led to the bank robbery."

For some reason, Tang Yan had an obsession in his heart that the beautiful woman who bumped into him must be related to the bank theft.

Although the bank did not lose any property, the impact of this theft was far-reaching. The bank's credibility dropped sharply, so much so that many people were afraid to store important supplies and money in their bank.

After this incident, many people who had previously stored gold bars in the bank's safe came to the bank and took back the gold bars stored in the bank. This shows how great the bank's nominal loss was due to this theft, so great that people no longer trust the bank.

This is why Tang Yan is eager to find the beautiful snake, uncover the mastermind behind it, and close the case as soon as possible to restore the lives of the people and the people of the bank.

"But President Tang, we followed your line of thought and the woman in the portrait. Several days have passed without any leads. After discussion, our task force has decided to change the direction of investigation and temporarily abandon the clue that the beautiful woman you mentioned is the suspect."

The bank robbery had happened several days ago, so who's to say it didn't cause any financial losses? However, this theft had far-reaching consequences. If they didn't solve the case, not only would the bank's reputation be affected, but the City A Public Security Bureau's speed in solving cases would also be affected, and they would lose public support.

Just imagine that all the banks in a city have been robbed, and ordinary people are afraid to deposit important items or money in the banks. The police of this city have been investigating for several days, but they are still like headless flies, running around everywhere and have not found any clues to the theft. Wouldn't this make the general public distrust them?

Banks want reputation, and the police also want reputation and trust!

The police's words made Tang Yan's face flash with embarrassment. His eyes were fixed on the beauty in the portrait, and he still insisted.

"But I just feel that the woman in the portrait is a major suspect?"

The two police officers across from Tang Yan shook their heads helplessly and exchanged glances, wondering why President Tang had bumped into his woman. Why was he so persistent, determined to keep her captive? Couldn't they use a different mindset to solve the case?

Of course, although they were speechless, the two of them still conveyed the unanimous opinion reached by the task force to Tang Yan.

"Let me put it this way, President Tang. We trust your judgment. Before coming to see you, the members of our special task force responsible for this case held a meeting and unanimously agreed to abandon the clue you provided and prepare to pursue the suspect from another angle and method."

"But……"

Hearing that the two policemen were about to give up the clue he provided, Tang Yan became anxious. Just as he was about to argue, he saw the other party waved his hand, signaling him not to speak for the time being. He took out a stack of information from behind and handed it to him, then continued.

"These materials and traces were collected by our task force while investigating a bank robbery case. Every clue and every trace indicates that the individuals who entered the bank to steal were a group, presumably all men. Based on the traces they left behind upon retreat, we suspect they are repeat offenders, demonstrating remarkable coordination and cooperation. In this particular case, they demonstrated a professional level of thievery. We suspect this is a repeat offender, and have already begun redirecting our investigation, drawing on previous bank robberies."

Tang Yan held the examination in his hand, reading the information provided to him while listening to the other party's explanation. The persistence in his eyes seemed to fade a little. Finally, he finished reading all the information, handed it back, and said slowly.

"So, are you really going to give up on this clue I provided? I really think that woman is very suspicious!"

"No, President Tang, the clues you provided are quite valuable. We have only decided to temporarily change the direction of the case, not to completely ignore the clues you provided."

"Yes, President Tang, we police officers are professionals in solving cases, and you, the bank, are professionals in counting money. Before this case is solved, I hope President Tang will respect the decision of our task force and work together to solve it. Otherwise, everyone will be under a lot of pressure!"

The two men's words were full of earnestness and sincerity, but every word they said was telling Tang Yan that they wanted to investigate the bank theft case from another perspective. Chang Yan looked helpless when he heard this, and finally he could only sigh.

"Alright! I respect your task force's decision, and I hope this case will be solved as soon as possible. Is there anything I can help you with? I'll do my best to cooperate with your task force."

What the police said was right. Ever since the bank theft, everyone has been under a lot of pressure. His superiors have also expressed dissatisfaction because of the recent serious loss of bank deposit certificates and the fact that all valuables deposited in the bank safe are gone.
