Guan Feng walked into the arena.
Everyone felt it was a bit abrupt and looked over.
Upon seeing this, Guan Feng immediately showed his work ID and said, "Hello everyone, I'm a police officer. I just saw some conflict happening here and came to take a look. Of course, we're just passing by on our way home from get off work. You can call the police if you need to."
Upon seeing the police, both parties quickly stated their demands.
Guan Feng nodded and said, "I can understand what you're saying. You two are about to get married, and you're upset because you lost your wedding rings. But you also need to consider the importance of other people's time. You should apologize to them first. After all, it's their right to leave or not. You can't stop them."
The woman had a cold expression and didn't want to apologize.
The man frowned and said, "Xiao Li!"
The woman reluctantly glanced at Guan Feng, then lowered her head under his gaze and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now. I didn't really think you stole my diamond ring."
A decorated sedan chair, carried by people.
The people who were about to leave waved their hands and said it was nothing.
Guan Feng said, "Isn't that better? You called the police just now, right? The police should be here soon and retrieve the surveillance footage. I believe they'll have the results quickly. But before that, you can't stop them from leaving. I think we should all help them out. They're getting married soon, so it's understandable that they're emotional after something like this happens."
She then said to the man, "How about we contact the hotel? Adding a dish or a bottle of wine to the table would only cost a thousand or two thousand yuan at most, which is a huge loss compared to the diamond ring."
The woman said, "Wouldn't that mean we'd have to spend money?"
The man stopped the woman, nodding and saying, "Okay, thank you for the reminder, officer!"
As he spoke, he pulled the lobby manager, who had just arrived, aside.
A moment later.
The lobby manager came to the center of the venue, apologized to everyone, and mentioned the lost diamond ring. He hoped that if everyone was not busy, they could cooperate, considering the difficulties the newlyweds had faced. The newlyweds were grateful for everyone's help and offered a bottle of red wine to each table, which they could take home if they couldn't finish it.
The seven or eight tables of guests who were already eating nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
The two tables of guests who were about to leave sat back down when they saw this, indicating that they could wait another half hour.
Guan Feng returned to his seat.
Zhang Lan smiled and said, "Mr. Guan, you are truly remarkable!"
Guan Feng asked, "Is there?"
Zhang Lan said, "Of course! You control the atmosphere of the whole scene with just a few words, which makes it easier to investigate the case without offending everyone. Mr. Guan, I am becoming more and more curious about you. You are definitely not an ordinary police officer."
Guan Feng cautioned, "Chairman Zhang, curiosity killed the cat."
Zhang Lan said, "I won't ask anymore, let's eat."
The group began to eat.
A moment later.
The elevator bell rang.
Three police officers entered the lobby and began to investigate the situation.
After a brief exchange, the older officer in the middle walked straight toward Guan Feng's table.
Guan Feng put down his chopsticks, turned to look at the other person with a surprised expression, and asked, "Old Ma?"
"Captain Guan?"
The two were extremely surprised to see each other.
Guan Feng was surprised to find that the person who came was Ma Chaoyang from the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Team.
The two were old acquaintances; the other worked under Wang Bin and they had partnered to solve cases on several occasions when he was seconded to the municipal bureau.
"Why is it you?"
"I knew it! Who was this amazing person? I never expected it to be Captain Guan!"
Although Ma Chaoyang was much older than Guan Feng, the two were of different ranks, and given Guan Feng's formidable reputation, Ma Chaoyang unconsciously used a respectful title.
Seeing this, Guan Feng decided to play along, gesturing towards the table to the east and stating his opinion: "Go check that table."
Ma Chaoyang glanced at the other person and asked in a low voice, "Suspected?"
Guan Feng said, "Why don't we just go ask them?"
Ma Chaoyang laughed and said, "Since Captain Guan has spoken, then it's fine. I'll head over right away."
He then walked towards the other person.
Zhang Lan and her female secretary both looked at Guan Feng in surprise.
"Mr. Guan, how can you be so sure that the guests at that table are suspects?"
Guan Feng simply said, "A person's subconscious facial expressions will betray them. We usually call this psychology, and the professional term is micro-expression analysis. The other person wanted to leave, but didn't dare to. They wanted to wait until the first group of people left before leaving, but I persuaded them to stay. After that, they were restless."
“Look closely, aren’t their feet always pointing outwards? Normally, a person’s subconscious actions reflect their psychological needs, and this is the best indication that they want to leave.”
Zhang Lan and the others looked over.
The other person's feet were indeed abnormal; although they were eating with their head down, their feet were already heading towards the door, preparing to leave.
Zhang Lan said, "This is psychological analysis? That's amazing, Mr. Guan. I'd like to ask you for a favor. Would you be willing? Don't worry, the reward will be generous, even..."
Guan Feng waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "I was just saying it casually, and you're just listening casually. I'm afraid there's no chance to actually help. It's not about whether there's a reward or not; it's about not having the time."
Zhang Lan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
At this moment.
Ma Chaoyang found the other party.
After saying something, Ma Chaoyang pointed to the surveillance camera, and the other party suddenly burst into tears. He pulled out the diamond ring from his bag and said that he had been bewitched and hadn't intended to take it, but when he saw the diamond ring lying next to his feet, he couldn't resist. Later, when the other party asked for it, his greed got the better of him, and he didn't admit that he had found it, which ultimately led to this tragedy.
Ma Chaoyang took the diamond ring from the other party and then called over the owner to ask, "Is this the diamond ring?"
The woman nodded frantically, saying, "That's it, that's it!" and tried to take it away.
Ma Chaoyang shook his head and said, "This is lost property, we can't give it to you right now. Please come back to the station with us first. Lao Yang, you take them back, I'll talk to Captain Guan."
He waved his hand, signaling his two men to take both of them downstairs.
He then approached Guan Feng and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Captain Guan! Without you, checking the surveillance footage and taking statements would have taken at least two hours."
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter. As long as we catch the person, that's good. By the way, Lao Ma, why were you assigned to such a small case?"
Ma Chaoyang said, "Isn't this a case we're handling nearby? We've been investigating for a few days without any leads, so the team wants us to take on other tasks while we're investigating the case, so it won't look too bad if we don't get any results anytime soon."
Guan Feng suddenly understood and said, "Alright then, Lao Ma, you guys continue investigating the case."
