Hongcheng Branch.
Considering that Liu Qiang refused to confess.
Guan Feng directly instructed everyone to continue the investigation and evidence collection, and to convict the other party without any confession.
Meanwhile, he was in the computer room, using his technical skills to recover Liu Qiang's chat history.
The other party definitely didn't steal this diamond for their own use.
The goal is to sell it!
And if you want to sell it, you will inevitably have to contact some people.
Guan Feng was searching for similar clues.
However, the other party was cunning and did not leave Guan Feng with any direct evidence.
He had no choice but to try to recover his chat history.
A moment later.
Guan Feng found a user named "Jewelry and Gold Recycling" on his WeChat friends page.
He immediately opened the chat history and found it to be blank, so he tried to see if he could restore the conversation between the two of them.
At this moment, Li Xiangdong and others returned with the surveillance evidence.
After a day of investigation, the team retrieved CCTV footage and checked businesses along the route, finally finding images of Liu Qiang carrying the silver-white suitcase. They also found footage of him entering and leaving the hotel.
Li Xiangdong pointed to the screen and said, "Captain, look! This is the footage of the other party carrying a silver-white suitcase. However, when he entered the hotel, he deliberately wrapped it in a black cloth bag, so we couldn't tell that it was the silver-white suitcase."
Guan Feng said, "That's simple! If we can't prove it, then let him prove it himself. He was carrying a suitcase ten minutes ago, and then the suitcase was found in his room. So he has to explain when he brought the suitcase back to his room, right? What did the cyber police say? Did they find any purchase records?"
Li Xiangdong laughed and said, "I was just about to tell you, Captain. Liu Qiang bought this suitcase using his mother's Taobao account. The delivery address is in Jinxiu Huafu Community, which is 300 meters away from Fenfanggu Hotel. There is a self-pickup point there. We found the footage of him picking it up on the surveillance camera."
Guan Feng said, "Great! With this direct evidence, we can prove that the other party is the owner of this suitcase. You continue the interrogation, and I'll see if we can reconstruct this data. Once we do, he will have no way to deny it!"
Li Xiangdong said, "Okay, then I'll go and interrogate them first. I'll wait for your good news, Captain."
Guan Feng nodded and sat down in the computer room to continue the restoration.
Half an hour later.
When the chat logs were recovered, Guan Feng couldn't help but clench his fist.
He took his phone and went outside the interrogation room. Through the glass, he could see Huang Lili and Li Xiangdong and several others interrogating people.
He asked, "What was the result?"
Wang Xun shook his head and said, "He refuses to confess!"
Guan Feng laughed and said, "With the chat history there, let's see how he can deny it now."
Wang Xun asked in surprise, "Captain, the chat history has been restored?"
Guan Feng nodded: "Come on, come inside with me, let's see what else he has to say."
He then pushed open the door and entered the interrogation room.
When Li Xiangdong saw Guan Feng enter, he quickly made way for the head of the table.
Guan Feng sat in the main seat and looked at Liu Qiang, saying, "What? Still unwilling to confess?"
Liu Qiang sighed and said, "This isn't about confessing or not. Captain Guan, please explain to them that I'm really not a criminal. I don't know anything about that diamond. I didn't even open it. I admit, I bought this suitcase, but at the time I just wanted to buy a business trip suitcase. I didn't think much of it. But how did a diamond end up inside?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "You're right. There's no fingerprint on the password, which proves that you haven't opened this suitcase. It's perfectly normal that you don't know what diamonds are inside."
Liu Qiang laughed and said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean. Captain Guan really sees things clearly."
Guan Feng smiled and said, "But the net of heaven is vast, and you never thought that your chats with others would leave a record?"
Liu Qiang's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head, saying, "What are you talking about? What chat? I don't know anything about it."
Guan Feng said, "You're not unaware, you're confident, but you probably don't know that chat history in WeChat can be recovered. It's not that deleting it means it's completely gone. Only by uninstalling the app can you clear all the chat content."
Liu Qiang's expression changed again.
He forced himself to remain calm and said, "You...you're lying to me? Right? You're definitely lying to me again."
Guan Feng, too lazy to waste words, directly took out the other person's phone and brought up the chat interface, saying, "This is your chat history with the other person, right? It says here that you have a 70-carat diamond, asked the other person about the price, and even took a picture and sent it to them. How do you explain that?"
Liu Qiang's expression completely changed: "How is this possible? I clearly deleted them, how could this be?"
Guan Feng reminded him, "You can confess now, or you can continue to resist stubbornly. But based on the evidence we have now, we can still silence you without a confession. Think it through. Come on, let's go out and let him calm down." With that, he beckoned Wang Xun and the others to leave the interrogation room.
Liu Qiang caught a glimpse of the way the group left and panicked completely.
Guan Feng and the others sat in the outer room, watching Liu Qiang through the glass.
A moment later.
Guan Feng felt that the time was right and led Li Xiangdong and the others back to the room.
"Are you willing to confess now?"
"Would it be considered a surrender if I confess now?"
"No! But confessing will be the only chance for you to reduce your sentence, and it's also the last chance we're giving you."
Liu Qiang said, "I understand, I understand!"
He then began to confess, his voice trembling with tears.
After graduating, he went to live with a distant relative who was an assistant director. He thought that with this connection and his own abilities, he could make a name for himself in the film and television industry. However, after several years of hard work, he realized that acting skills were useless, being handsome was the key, and he was not destined to be a big star.
He then drowned his sorrows in alcohol and unexpectedly came into contact with online gambling, from which point he became increasingly entangled.
From 1,500 to 30,000 or 50,000, the final loss reached a million, even jeopardizing the wedding house his parents had prepared for him.
Penniless, he set his sights on the diamond and eventually devised a plan to successfully switch it with another diamond, a scene that seemed to repeat itself yesterday.
As Liu Qiang recalled the events, tears streamed down his face. "I've had enough, but I just can't control myself. I keep fantasizing about making a comeback. Arrest me and sentence me severely, otherwise I'll still lose control after I get out. Thank you!"
Guan Feng and others were also surprised by this bizarre request.
He said, "It's a good thing that you have this understanding. We will verify your statement. In addition, we will also report the online gambling case, hoping to bring these people to justice and relieve your mind."
Liu Qiang said, "Thank you, thank you!"
