Baima Village.
The southernmost village in Hongcheng.
It faces Heishui Village in Xucheng across a small river.
Two police cars arrived at the entrance of the village.
Guan Feng got out of the car, glanced around, and spotted the surveillance camera near a utility pole not far away. He said, "According to the surveillance footage provided by the traffic department, this is the last place the van disappeared, right?"
Wang Xun nodded and said, "That's right! The traffic department's surveillance footage says that the van never left the village after entering it, so it must have been parked somewhere in the village!"
Seeing this, Guan Feng said, "Park our car at the village entrance. The rest of you follow me into the village. Watch out for the side roads to prevent the suspect from abandoning the car and escaping."
Wang Xun and Liu Shengguo both nodded in agreement.
The three walked along the main road at the village entrance into the village.
Five minutes later.
The group arrived in the village.
Dozens of households appeared sparsely in view along both sides of the road.
Guan Feng said, "We haven't seen anything like this along the way. Could it be that they abandoned the car and fled? Which family in the village committed the crime?"
Wang Xun asked, "Then shall we conduct a door-to-door investigation?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "That would be too conspicuous. I see there's a market ahead, so let's pretend to be customers and stroll over. A van that big won't just stop anywhere. Sheng Guo, you check across the street. Wang Xun, you watch this side."
"OK."
"OK."
Liu Shengguo and Wang Xun both nodded in acknowledgment.
The three of them split up and proceeded along the village roads to conduct their investigation.
Three minutes later.
Liu Shengguo called.
He's discovered it!
Guan Feng and Wang Xun rushed over immediately and saw Liu Shengguo standing in the distance in front of a house. In the open space outside the house, there was a van that had just been washed, and the license plate number was the one they were looking for.
Jiang H0458U!
Both of their expressions changed.
Guan Feng even wore smart glasses without anyone noticing.
The next moment.
Those details were then compared with the vehicles in the surveillance video.
Especially the rearview mirror!
The van in the surveillance footage had a chipped paint on its rearview mirror, with a small tear about the size of an eraser. The other vehicle also had a chipped paint in the same spot.
It should be the same car!
Wang Xun asked, "Captain, is this the car?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "That's right! It's this car. The right rearview mirror of the car in the surveillance footage has a chipped piece of paint, exactly the same as this one. Let's go and ask about the situation."
He then winked at Liu Shengguo, signaling him to go and guard the back door.
Guan Feng and Wang Xun walked towards the car.
But before the two of them could even get close...
A woman came out of the house and stared at the two of them suspiciously: "What are you two doing? Why are you staring at my car?"
Guan Feng pointed at the van and asked, "Is this your vehicle?"
The woman nodded and said, "That's right! It's my car. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Guan Feng asked, "Where are your car purchase documents? Do you still have them? We'd like to see them."
The woman scoffed, "Who do you think you are? Just because you want to see the car purchase paperwork doesn't mean I have to show it to you. If you want to see my body, do I have to strip naked?" Seemingly used to being fierce, the woman wasn't intimidated at all.
Guan Feng frowned upon seeing this, and pulled out his police badge, saying, "We are police officers! We are here to investigate a case, please cooperate."
The woman's eyes flickered, a little guilty, but she puffed out her chest and exclaimed, "So what if it's the police? The police can't just interrogate us like criminals, can they?"
Guan Feng frowned and said, "First, we are not interrogating a criminal; we are inquiring about the condition of your vehicle. Second, this matter relates to a criminal case. I will ask you one last time: are you sure this car is yours? Do you still have the purchase documents?"
The woman's gaze darted away, and she shook her head, saying, "It's been years, how could I remember where I put it?"
Guan Feng asked, "What about the other procedures? Insurance and other documents also serve as proof, right? You must have those, right?"
The woman said impatiently, "I've told you, it's been years, it just doesn't exist, why don't you believe me?"
At this moment.
Another figure walked out of the courtyard.
Who is it?
"Officer! They say they're here to investigate some case!"
The man looked at Guan Feng with a subtle tension in his expression and asked, "What case are you here to investigate?"
Guan Feng said, "I just asked your wife, and she said the car belongs to you. Now that you're out, I'll ask again, is this van yours?"
The man paused, then hesitated before saying, "Yes, I think so."
Guan Feng reminded him, "It's either yes or no, right? What do you mean?"
The woman nudged the man and said, "Daqiang, what are you doing? This is our family's van. What are you afraid of? Whoever comes, it's ours. What's there to be afraid of?"
Seeing this, Guan Feng said directly, "Since that's the case, it's easier to handle. This van is involved in a criminal case, and the vehicle owner is a prime suspect. Since you've repeatedly insisted that the vehicle belongs to you, please come back with me for investigation!"
The woman was stunned, the man was dumbfounded, and they all stood there speechless, at a loss for what to do.
Guan Feng said, "What are you still standing there for? Come with us."
He then looked at Inspector Wang and said, "This involves a criminal case, and you two are criminal suspects. You should be handcuffed and taken away!"
Wang Xun had been waiting for this moment, and upon hearing this, he said, "Alright." He then stepped forward.
The woman panicked immediately, shaking her head and saying, "No! We're not suspects, why are you handcuffing me? Why are you handcuffing me?"
Guan Feng warned, "This car is involved in a criminal case, and you insist that you are the owners of this car. If we don't arrest you, who will we arrest?"
