The Police Called Me For The Filing, Revealing Me, A Master-Chapter 21

Surveillance Repair, Unbelievable Attack!

“Why, Sister Zhang? You don’t suspect that this person is related to the robber, do you?”

“Aiya, Sister Zhang, I think you’re under too much pressure. There’s definitely nothing wrong with this person. Listen to me. Because no one noticed him in the ATM and he was on South Street near Gate 1, we neglected him during the evacuation…”

“Later, when he came out to withdraw the money, he happened to encounter a robber who had escaped nearby. Don’t you think he was unlucky? However, the robber was in a hurry to escape and didn’t have the mood to pay attention to him. He escaped again and was lucky to escape…”

Criminal Officer Zhang found it hard to believe because this was exactly what the robber and the hostage said!

“Xiao Yu, are you sure you didn’t miss anything? Did that person have anything in his hands at that time, or did he have a backpack on him? For example… a guitar backpack, or a paper box with clothes and shoes?”

Xiao Yu’s helpless voice sounded. “Sister Zhang, we’ve already asked the people who witnessed the scene in detail and archived it.”

“According to the eyewitness who was hiding in the flower bed beside Gate 1, they did see the passerby who took the money. It was just that he was a little far away and they couldn’t see his face clearly. However, they could see that he was only holding money in his hand. They were 100% sure that he didn’t have any backpack on him. His hand was empty. It could be said that there was nothing.”

“These are the oral statements of many witnesses at that time. Everyone’s oral statements are the same, so you can rest assured that there are no information deviations. However, at that time, the witnesses were all paying attention to the robber’s movements, so after the man was let go by the robber, no one paid much attention.”

At this point, Detective Zhang already knew what was going on, but he still asked worriedly, “Did anyone see him take out any special weapons from his pocket?”

“Special weapons?”

Xiao Yu was stunned. Then, he hurriedly flipped through the saved records and replied,

“No, because according to witnesses, after the robber let this man go, he left in a hurry and didn’t stay on the spot.”

As he spoke, Xiao Yu hurriedly went to check the internal surveillance of the ATM on South Street. After carefully looking at the image of the man withdrawing the money, he replied with more certainty,

“The ATM camera showed that he didn’t carry anything, let alone take out any weapons or other weapons. After all, such things must be very eye-catching. Although the witnesses’ attention was on the robber, if that person really took out a weapon, it’s impossible for all the witnesses to not see it.”

After Xiao Yu’s explanation, Detective Zhang repeatedly confirmed that the ATM man’s hands were empty and that he did not have any paper bags or weapons on him before hanging up.

Seeing that Detective Zhang had hung up the phone, Captain Chen and Doctor Gao went forward and asked curiously, “Officer Zhang, are you suspecting the man who withdrew the money?”

Detective Zhang nodded, then shook her head. “At first, I was very suspicious of the ATM man. After all, it was too coincidental for an opportunity to appear. Moreover, not long after he left, what happened next happened. But now, according to the many witnesses at that time and the surveillance evidence of the ATM, he was just a careless passerby. Because he didn’t have any conditions to carry a special weapon, he could be directly eliminated as a suspect.”

“However, this confirms an even more terrifying fact…”

Her words immediately caused the temperature in the entire lounge to drop to a critical point.

“Quick, report to Chief Zhang immediately. The new wound on the robber’s wrist is definitely not caused by Officer Zhou. There’s also a person carrying an unknown and dangerous weapon hidden in the dark at the scene. If this matter isn’t investigated clearly, it will be serious! Now, the technical department should be almost done repairing the surveillance cameras. Ask Chief Zhang to check immediately!”

—Boom!

Although Captain Chen and Doctor Gao were the first to suspect it, they were still shocked.

The nature of the case could change if the police were not responsible for the matter.

Just now, Officer Zhang had repeatedly simulated the crime scene. No matter what, Officer Zhou could not reach the robber’s wrist.

Moreover, the moment the two of them fell, they were in a suspended state and could not do much in an instant.

It was just like how it was very difficult for an ordinary person to attempt the ‘floating step jump’ without a period of practice.

Moreover, the most suspicious thing was that the robber seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

He repeatedly insisted that it was done by the police, so there were two possibilities.

One was that he really didn’t have anyone else to identify. The other was that he realized that the police had sensed something and deliberately wanted to hide the scene.

Captain Chen picked up his phone and was about to dial when he looked up and used his eyes to ask Doctor Gao and Detective Zhang again.

The two of them nodded firmly.

Captain Chen stopped hesitating. This was a serious matter and the leaders of the various departments attached great importance to it. He did not dare to be careless.

Moreover, there were no clues on the eyewitness’ side. They could only reconstruct the scene from the surveillance footage!

After dialing Chief Zhang’s number, Captain Chen quickly said, “Chief Zhang, we found a situation here. There might be a change in the case…”

It was past eight in the evening.

In the office of the director of the Public Security Bureau in Hibiscus City.

Zhang Zhenghuai had just hung up the call with his superior when his cell phone rang.

Before he could catch his breath, Deputy Captain Chen’s words on the phone made his heart skip a beat.

“Are you sure? Chen Ye, you can’t be careless about this matter!”

Deputy Captain Chen Ye resolutely told him that they had found something suspicious.

After a long while, Zhang Zhenghuai said softly, “Alright, I understand. I’ll get the Technology Department to send the repaired surveillance footage over immediately.”

After hanging up, Zhang Zhenghuai picked up the landline on his desk again. After some thought, he called the lobby.

“Xiao Li, call Zhou Xiaoxiao in…”

“Alright, Chief Zhang.”

“By the way, inform everyone on the committee to come to my office for an emergency meeting.”

“Will do.”

After saying that, Zhang Zhenghuai frowned and lay down on the chair.

He was really exhausted. He had thought that the matter had been resolved perfectly. Just now, Mayor Wang had called to ask about the situation.

He had sworn that the case was over, but he did not expect there to be chaos again.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

“Logically speaking, robbing a gold shop is not a small matter. How can the robber not have any helpers…”

She was thinking about something and had no clue for a long time.

—Knock knock knock.

At this moment, the office door suddenly rang.

Then, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s voice came. “Chief Zhang, I’m here to report my work.”

“Please come in!”

Zhou Xiaoxiao closed the door and felt that Chief Zhang’s expression was especially heavy. She asked softly, “Chief Zhang, what’s wrong? You look so sad.”

Zhang Zhenghuai got up from his chair and gestured for Zhou Xiaoxiao to sit down.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Little Zhou, let me ask you. Are you sure you didn’t cause the wound on the robber’s wrist?”

Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned. Then, she walked forward and placed the paper report in her hand on Chief Zhang’s table.

Only then did she return to her seat and respectfully say, “Chief Zhang, this is my written report. From my perspective, I explained the incident in detail. I’m sure that I didn’t cause the wound on the robber’s wrist, so I was about to hand it to you.”

As if seeing the suspicion in Chief Zhang’s eyes, Zhou Xiaoxiao continued, “I’m also very puzzled about this. I also told you about this at the scene…”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenghuai’s expression turned even worse. He gestured for Zhou Xiaoxiao to sit down again before sighing and saying, “Little Zhou, sit first. We’ll wait for the comrades from the committee to have an emergency meeting.”

As he spoke, Zhang Zhenghuai looked at the time. “The technical department should be sending over the repaired surveillance video soon…”

‘An emergency meeting?’

Surveillance video?

Zhou Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. While she was puzzled, she also had a bad feeling.

Not long after, someone knocked on Zhang Zhenghuai’s office.

Zhou Xiaoxiao sensibly opened the door and stood behind it to serve everyone.

The committee was the committee of the Hibiscus City Division, and its members were the leadership of the bureau.

As an intern police officer, Zhou Xiaoxiao naturally had to learn to observe people’s expressions and serve the leader.

Although it was already after work and it was still night time, with Chief Zhang, the seven leaders still arrived on time.

At this moment, there were a total of eight people in the director’s office, including Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Everyone sat down on the three-seater sofa in batches and looked at Zhang Zhenghuai.
