Theft turns into extortion!
Five minutes ago.
The suspect called.
They threatened Huang Youwen to prepare 300,000 yuan.
Otherwise, the contents of the USB drive will be made public.
Let the people of Hua'an see just how morally corrupt this respected doctor is in private.
They also warned Huang Youwen not to call the police, otherwise the video would be released immediately.
Huang Youwen dared not delay and nodded in agreement repeatedly.
The other party told me to raise the money as soon as possible and then hung up the phone.
Huang Youwen hung up the phone and asked, "Officer Guan, what do we do now?"
Guan Feng asked, "Did you record it?"
Huang Youwen nodded and said, "It's recorded! I recorded it as soon as you reminded me, but only the second half. Do you think it will affect anything?"
Guan Feng took the phone and notified the technical team to handle it.
A moment later.
Chen Xuewen extracted the processed audio file.
Guan Feng put on his headphones.
I listened to the second half of the recording over and over again.
"Was it good?"
"Are you comfortable or not?"
"Who's older, me or your husband?"
"I..."
Guan Feng put down his headset, looked at Huang Youwen, and asked, "Are you sure this recording came from the video you filmed?"
Huang Youwen awkwardly nodded to everyone's gaze and said, "That's right! I... I remember all the videos I filmed."
Guan Feng asked, "Where is the backup video?"
Huang Youwen asked, "This...this is related to the case?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Of course! The case is no longer a simple theft, but extortion. We, the police, must grasp every clue and piece of evidence. Stop talking nonsense! Cooperate with our police work."
Huang Youwen gritted his teeth and hesitantly picked up the computer.
Upon powering on, a hidden folder is opened from the D drive; upon opening, about twenty movies pop up.
"This is the original! That's all."
Guan Feng asked for the computer and said, "These videos must be processed frame by frame. The computer will be kept by the team for now."
"ah?"
Huang Youwen hesitated and asked, "Is this necessary?"
Guan Feng frowned and said, "Otherwise what? Do you think we want to see these videos? The suspect only picked out this one video, which may have a hidden purpose. We must find the clues in it. Otherwise, do you think we're just looking at your video for no reason?"
Huang Youwen sighed and instructed, "Then, you must keep this a secret."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "You can rest assured about that! Our police will not disclose other people's privacy without reason. Okay, you can go out now."
Huang Youwen sighed and walked out.
Li Xiangdong then said, "Team leader, this video looks quite long, why don't I do it?"
Huang Lili joked, "Xiang Dong, I've never seen you this enthusiastic before?"
Li Xiangdong chuckled and said, "We can't expect our team leader to come in person, can we?"
Guan Feng asked, "You've watched all those surveillance videos? Those videos are the key now; the suspect is very likely hiding in them. Why aren't you busy with your work? Why are you running around getting involved?"
Li Xiangdong awkwardly explained, "I was just worried that you, team leader, would be overworked."
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "I'm not that spoiled."
"Oh well."
Li Xiangdong left in disappointment.
Huang Lili said, "Team leader, although Li Xiangdong definitely didn't have good intentions, there's some truth to what he said at the end. If you don't like it, I can help you share the burden."
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "This document concerns the privacy of several female victims. The more people there are, the greater the risk of leakage. I'll just look at it myself!"
"The team leader is very thoughtful!"
Huang Lili gave a thumbs up.
Guan Feng waved his hand.
Arrange for someone to guard the Huang family's residence.
To prevent the suspect from calling again.
Tasks have been assigned.
He took the USB drive back to his office.
They watched quietly.
......
I slept soundly through the night.
The next morning.
Guan Feng walked into the office with thick dark circles under his eyes.
Huang Lili asked with concern, "Team leader, you must be exhausted from last night?"
Guan Feng sighed, "That old bastard Huang Youwen really loves this kind of thing. Every video is so long and tedious that I'm afraid of missing any clues. I have to watch it frame by frame and I barely slept all night."
He then looked at Wang Xun and asked, "Did the extortionist make a phone call later?"
Wang Xun shook his head and said, "No! It's a bit strange, we've been through quite a few extortion cases, but this one seems to be the most unprofessional."
Guan Feng asked, "What do you mean?"
Wang Xun said, "After yesterday's phone call, there hasn't been a second one. Besides, the first call only asked for money, without mentioning the time or place. Could it be that they were confident they could just take the money away?"
Guan Feng frowned upon hearing this.
Could it be an inside job? That would explain why the perpetrator didn't need a time or place to commit the crime.
At this moment.
Huang Lili brewed a cup of chrysanthemum tea and handed it over.
"Team leader! You've been up all night, you must be feeling a bit feverish. Have some chrysanthemum tea."
Li Xiangdong said enviously, "Lily, I've been watching all night too, why don't I get this treatment?"
Huang Lili snorted, "Fine, when you solve a case using your footprints someday, I'll make you chrysanthemum tea to cool you down every day."
Li Xiangdong's face immediately fell: "I could accept anything else, but you're using footprint analysis as an excuse? Isn't this just a clear indication that you don't want to make me tea?"
Huang Lili scoffed, "Otherwise what? Do you think everyone gets this kind of treatment?"
Wang Xun laughed and said, "Stop joking around, you two! The case hasn't been solved yet."
Guan Feng said, "I was just about to tell you that, through observing the video, I discovered that the relationship between Huang Youwen and the three women is not as good as I imagined, and there may even be cases of secret filming."
