Chapter 142: Corpse Floating in the River 08: No Extradition Treaty
Chapter 8
Yue Fanglin said: "I don't know yet. I have arranged for someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from the parking lot."
Lu Changfeng looked around. There was a map in the parking lot, which showed that they were currently at Exit C. The entire forest park connected seven surrounding towns and had a total of eleven entrances and exits.
Jing Jue stood beside Lu Changfeng with his hands on his hips, opened his phone and searched the distance from the restaurant where they had last had dinner. It was fourteen kilometers away.
"If it were you, would you run so far to the parking lot to seek excitement?" Lu Changfeng asked Jing Jue.
Jing Jue glanced at Lu Changfeng and said, "I can run farther."
Lu Changfeng raised his hand and slapped Jing Jue: "Be serious."
Jing Jue pulled away, worried that Lu Changfeng would continue to hit him, although it didn't hurt, "No."
Lu Changfeng opened the map and checked the situation nearby, and Jing Jue came over eagerly.
Walking forward from the parking lot is the bar street.
"It is rare to see a bar street built near a forest park," said Jing Jue.
Lu Changfeng waved and called Yue Fanglin over.
Yue Fanglin asked: "What's wrong?"
Lu Changfeng took out a map and showed it to him: "Have you checked this place?"
There are usually a lot of surveillance cameras on bar streets. Anything can happen when people are drunk, so the surveillance cameras in such places are mostly installed very densely.
Yue Fanglin nodded: "Zhou Yu is leading people to retrieve the surveillance footage over there. Bars are all night venues and are closed during the day. It will take some time for the contact person to retrieve the surveillance footage."
Lu Changfeng expressed his understanding. They had been to places like Bar Street when investigating cases before and knew the opening hours of these places.
Several people walked towards the bar street, which was only a few hundred meters away in a straight line.
Yue Fanglin said as he walked: "The owner of the canteen said that customers from the bar street sometimes come to this parking lot to park, and there are not enough parking spaces over there. I suspect they came to the bar street that night."
The parking lot of this forest park is very large and can accommodate at least five or six hundred cars.
Lu Changfeng agreed, "Indeed, if you are just looking for excitement, there is no need to travel so far."
Yue Fanglin added: "The judge must have planned carefully before taking action against these two. As long as they can track their whereabouts that night, they will definitely be able to identify this person."
Lu Changfeng nodded.
The bar street was longer than Lu Changfeng had imagined, and he couldn’t see the end of the street when standing at the beginning.
There are many road administration surveillance devices visible to the naked eye on the roads.
At this time, people in Bar Street have not started work yet, and only security guards are guarding the door. It takes time to gather everyone together to inquire about the situation.
The traffic police's investigation helped them quickly identify the target.
Based on the time when the dashcam was turned off, Zhou Yu made an accurate calculation of the road monitoring time period along the way, and checked the monitoring at the corresponding time points within the range that the road monitoring could capture.
The adjacent surveillance cameras showed different bars and clubs, from which we could identify the destination area of Tang Jinze and Qi Ruining that night.
There are only three entertainment venues in this area.
Dynasty KTV, Pink Lady Club, Peak Club.
Zhou Yu directly called the managers of several bars to identify the two people.
The manager of the Summit Club recognized the two men.
“Soup is always a regular at our clubhouse.”
Lu Changfeng: "You don't have any parking spaces reserved for regular customers at your club?"
The manager said, “Yes.”
Since there were such places, the two people did not drive the car over, which means that they parked in the forest park and they did have their own plans.
Lu Changfeng asked: "Who do they have a better relationship with? What did they come here for on Tuesday?"
Yue Fanglin: "Just take us to see the surveillance."
Several people came to the monitoring room and retrieved the surveillance footage of the day.
During the corresponding time period, as long as we can find out who entered the room, we will know who they contacted.
The answer will be available soon.
Several people entered the private room one after another.
They are all regular customers and the manager knows them all.
The manager said: "There is a mahjong machine in the private room. Mr. Tang and Mr. Yang often invite people to play mahjong together."
As the surveillance footage continued to play, at 9:27 p.m., Tang Jinze was taken out of the private room.
Lu Changfeng pointed at the person in the surveillance video and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is Mr. Yao." The manager said, "I don't know what Mr. Yao does specifically, I just know that everyone calls him Mr. Yao, and he's been in and out of our bar a lot in the past two months."
"Do you have his contact information?"
The manager shook his head: "He is not our client. Perhaps we can find out the identity of this person through a few other people."
"Give us the other people's contact information."
The manager took out his work WeChat account. Regular customers usually have added WeChat. Most of the customers are bound to the private rooms and need to inform them in advance what time they will be back. The manager tries his best to help them coordinate the space.
Soon the man returned to the box and brought Qi Ruining out as well.
After the manager checked the surveillance footage at the gate, he discovered that the two of them were put into a commercial vehicle.
Yang Zhen immediately wrote down the license plate of the commercial vehicle and handed it to the traffic police for check.
Yue Fanglin: "Looking at the status of the two people in the surveillance video, they should be unconscious."
Lu Changfeng leaned on the back of the seat with one hand, "I'm very curious about what happened in the private room that night. Two people were taken away, but no one found it strange or helped to send them away."
"And this Mr. Yao, he's wrapped himself up too tightly."
The baseball cap and the mask directly blocked his face, making it impossible to see what he looked like.
Lu Changfeng asked the manager: "Have you seen what Mr. Yao looks like?"
The manager nodded and said, "I've seen him once or twice. He looks good, about 30 years old, more than 1.7 meters but less than 1.8 meters tall. He always covers himself up tightly every time he comes. I thought he was a celebrity who didn't want to be photographed."
Right now there are only clues, so there is no need to rush to find out what he looks like.
Yue Fanglin contacted several other people in the private room and made an appointment to meet at the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
After copying the surveillance footage, the group went from Bar Street to the Xiangyang City Public Security Bureau.
Xiangyang fully cooperates with their work.
The interrogation room is ready and waiting for them to use.
Mr. Yang arrived the fastest.
Mr. Yang’s full name is Yang Zheng, he is 37 years old and the owner of a furniture factory.
The leather supplier of their furniture factory is Tang Jinze, and Tang Jinze’s legal representative is Qi Ruining.
Yue Fanglin took out the screenshot he had taken and asked, "Who is this Mr. Yao?"
Yang Zheng said: "His name is Yao Sifan, a Malaysian Chinese, and he is the head of the marketing department of the well-known furniture brand Motoya sofa. This time he came to China to discuss business with us. Motoya wants to enter the domestic market, and the production and transportation costs from Malaysia are too high, so he wants to rent my production line and we will help him with production and packaging."
Lu Changfeng: "What happened in your private room that night? Why did Yao Sifan take Tang Jinze and Qi Ruining away one after another?"
"That night we were discussing business. If this deal was successful, we would have tens of millions of orders every year and everyone would make money. We got drunk and fell asleep. When I woke up, they were gone. I didn't even know it was Yao Sifan who took Tang Jinze and Qi Ruining away."
Yang Zheng was also helpless: "These past few days, not only have I been unable to contact Yao Sifan, I have also been unable to contact Tang Jinze and Qi Ruining. I am also confused and don't know what happened."
"It's been almost a week, and you haven't been able to contact him. You didn't say anything about looking for him? Or calling the police or anything?"
Yang Zheng said, "I thought something might have happened to them. Anyway, they have such a big company that they can't run away, so I have nothing to be afraid of. Tang Jinze's parents are both in Switzerland. His father is in poor health and is living there for retirement. His children are also there. I thought something might have happened there and they went there."
"When did Yao Sifan contact you?"
Yang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "We have known each other for a long time. We met at the Malaysian Furniture Fair two years ago. He contacted me three months ago and told me about his plans. He came to China this time to see our production line and look for an office. We plan to open a branch and finalize the production line within this year."
Lu Changfeng: "Did you introduce him to Tang Jinze and Qi Ruining?"
Yang Zheng nodded: "Tang Jinze's leather factory is my raw material supplier, but I have more than one supplier. I recommended many suppliers to Yao Sifan. After accompanying him on a field trip and repeatedly doing sample experiments, I finally decided to choose Tang Jinze's leather factory as the leather supplier."
Yang Zheng complained to them: "Business is not good now. The economy is in a downturn. Some factories have closed down one after another. If I don't have enough orders for so many production lines, it will be difficult for me to survive. The supply chain is the same from top to bottom. No one is much better than anyone else. We really hope to make this business a success."
Yue Fanglin expressed his understanding and asked him, "Do you know where Yao Sifan lives?"
Yang Zheng shook his head: "I really don't know."
Lu Changfeng couldn't help but doubt: "You are sure his identity is real, right?"
Yang Zheng nodded: "Of course, we have confirmed with Motoya that they are indeed planning to expand the domestic market in the near future."
The question had come to this point, and Yang Zheng also asked the doubts in his heart: "Did something happen to Yao Sifan, or did something happen to Tang Jinze and the others?"
Lu Changfeng said: "The case is still under investigation. You will know the results when the follow-up investigation comes out."
Yang Zheng also understood their police discipline and did not ask any further questions.
Lu Changfeng: "Please provide me with Yao Sifan's contact information."
Yang Zheng told them Yao Sifan's phone number.
Zhou Yu tried to dial, but couldn't get through.
Yao Sifan is not a Chinese citizen and must live in the country permanently. We can start by checking those hotels that can accommodate foreigners and we will be able to find him.
It’s just a little hard to understand that Chinese people would be members of the Inquisitors.
Or maybe there is some hidden secret.
After Yang Zheng left, the serious crime squad and Zhang Zhen's men gathered together.
When it comes to foreigners, things have to be done with caution.
Find the person first, then ask him to cooperate with the investigation.
Lu Changfeng: "Let's check whether the other party has left the country first. If he has left the country, there is no point in finding where he lives."
The criminal police captain in Xiangyang City who was in charge of cooperating with their investigation said, "I will contact the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau right away and ask them to help investigate."
Jing Jue said: "If it were me, I would have run away long ago."
If he stays in the country, he will be found out sooner or later and will end up being arrested.
Yue Fanglin pressed his brows and said, "If I remember correctly, we don't have an extradition treaty with Malaysia."
If he has really fled back to Malaysia, the problem will be very troublesome.
