Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 90 I don't know the goods!
Wei Pingan shouted excitedly to Zheng Chao and Lu Yishan: "Motive for committing the crime!"

The two division chiefs were equally stunned, "What kind of chicken?"

"Motive!" Wei Ping'an pulled Gu Weijun to explain.

Gu Weijun stood next to Wei Pingan, "What is motivation? Human behavior is controlled by motivation, and motivation is caused by need. Without need, motivation is impossible." "Engels said it!"

"So, why did the criminal steal the gun library? If you understand this reason, the case will have a solution!"

"Okay!" The two division chiefs cheered in unison. They looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Director Lu looked forward to it and asked anxiously: "Do you two have any guesses about the motive of this case?"

Gu Weijun replied cautiously: "Director, I communicated with Brother Wei and the main tendency is that the criminal stole the gun warehouse mainly for money!"

"Because, if you are a criminal who endangers the country and society, the weapons you need will definitely not be stolen from the gun library! The case is too big, but it will expose yourself!"

"If the criminal wants to take revenge on someone and conducts a targeted attack, there is no need to steal a gun arsenal. Everyday kitchen knives and axes can also achieve the goal!"

“As the saying goes, armed with a sharp weapon and intent to kill, one starts from the beginning!”

"So, in the past month, have there been frequent robberies and thefts in Dongcheng District?" "We suspect that there must be a correlation among the cases!"

"Okay!" Director Lu cheered loudly and slammed the table, "Safe, notify the criminal police captain to come for the meeting!" "In addition, notify Dongcheng District to bring all the robbery and theft cases in the past month!"

Soon, all the criminal police captains arrived at the city bureau conference room, and Dongcheng District also sent over the cases of robberies and thefts that had occurred in the past month.

Director Lu was excited to find a new breakthrough point in the case and wrote the four characters "Motive of the case" on the blackboard in the conference room!
"Comrades! A new breakthrough has been found!"

"We need to change our thinking. As long as we find the purpose of the crime, we can follow the clues to find them!" "What are they doing for?"

"It must be for money!"

"Immediately review the robbery and theft cases in Dongcheng District in the past month!"

"Report!" A criminal police captain had just flipped through two pages of a case before he raised his hand and said, "Director, something has been discovered!"

"What?" Director Lu and others gathered around him at once.

The criminal police captain pointed to the case on the conference table, "Wangfujing Hengdeli Watch and Optical Store was stolen! It was a huge theft that occurred on March 3th! It involved goods and money, with a total amount of up to 5 yuan!" "Very special It’s in line with the Director’s judgment just now!”

Director Lu was not surprised, but instead furious, "Why was such an important case in Dongcheng District not reported to the city bureau?" He yelled at a Dongcheng District criminal police captain: "What the hell do you do for food?" "What's going on in your head?" Is this all shit? If you have no idea, just take off these clothes!"

“Stop fucking wasting food!”

The criminal police captain of Dongcheng District responded aggrievedly: "Director, this month our main police force in Dongcheng District has been used to solve major 302 cases!" "These theft cases have been arranged for the police station to handle!"

Director Lu's eyes widened, "So there are no clues in this case?"

"Fuck!" Director Lu angrily smashed the teapot to the ground, "Bang!"

Zheng Chao quickly stopped Director Lu who was about to continue to get angry, "Old Lu, calm down, the most important thing now is to solve the case!" "Let's go to the scene to investigate again!"

Director Lu was trembling with anger, "Old Zheng, it's been a month!" "There are still clues!"

Zheng Chao continued to comfort Lu Yishan, "Old Lu, let's take a look at the case first and see if there is any connection between the two cases?" "The comrades in Dongcheng District have been going back and forth this month to investigate the 302 major case, and they can't even go home. They all had a very hard time!”

"I can only say that these criminals are too cunning! There are too few clues left!"

The record of the case is very simple. It only records that the criminal climbed up the scaffolding outside the store door, entered the room through the skylight, and pried open the small portable vault in the warehouse.Lost 13 watches and 2402 yuan, 3 cents in cash.Except for a wavy shoe print found on the floor of the first and second doors of the warehouse, and a flat shovel and a pair of pliers found on the floor of the second and third doors of the warehouse, no other findings were found at the crime scene.

Looking at the case, Zheng Chao was also very discouraged, "Let's go to the scene and take a look!" He then ordered the criminal police captains in the conference room, "Please sort out the theft cases in the past month!" "See if there is any crime committed. Similar techniques?"

Hengdeli Watch and Optical Store is located in the middle of Wangfujing Street. It is a three-story building facing south and north. The south is a residential area and there are shops on the left and right.The first floor is the watch business room. The east side of the business room is the maintenance department, and the west side is the warehouse, which is the location of the theft.

Gu Weijun and his entourage arrived at the clock shop and after identifying themselves, Hengdeli's manager Zhou Xingkun quickly came out of his residence in the South District with a smile on his face, holding Director Lu's hand and shaking it constantly, "City Bureau Director Lu, please help us solve the case!"

"The loss caused by the theft is too great! It is equivalent to our turnover for a week!"

Director Lu looked serious, "Manager Zhou, don't worry, we are here to solve the case as soon as possible!" "Please take us to the crime scene!"

"Okay, please come with me!"

Zhou Xingkun led a group of people to the third floor first, pointing to the skylight on the roof, "This is where the thieves entered the store to steal!" "The previous skylight window was broken, and we have replaced the window frame."

Then he returned to the first floor and the maintenance department and warehouse introduced it again. The whole process was lackluster and there were no new clues.When Manager Zhou invited Director Lu and others to have tea in the office for a detailed chat, Gu Weijun whispered to Wei Ping'an, left the team, walked out of the Hengdeli store again, and started observing from the outside.

The decoration of Hengdeli Watch and Optical Shop is similar to that of later generations. The facade is equipped with a large glass display window and two glass sliding doors in the middle. It is different from the "foreign" flavor of other Beijing stores.

Gu Weijun faced Hendry directly and retreated until there was no way to retreat on the other side of the street. Only then could he vaguely see the skylight glass on the spire of Hendry's house in the moonlight.When we re-entered the store, the lobby was surrounded by glass shelves, including two large glass cabinets. The missing watch was stolen by the criminal after breaking the glass cabinet.

Gu Weijun waited until Director Lu came out accompanied by Zhou Xingkun, and then he casually asked Zhou Xingkun, "Manager Zhou, I would like to ask, isn't Hengdeli on duty at night?"

Zhou Xingkun showed a wry smile and said, "Comrade Public Security, to tell you the truth, it existed before. However, our new public security manager said that now is the new China and we want to abandon the bad habit of watchmen, so we canceled it!"

"Wait until something happens and then reschedule the shift!"

"Oh!" Gu Weijun was thoughtful, no wonder he didn't see the public manager come forward, "Manager Zhou, do you know where the public manager lives?"

"I know, it's Hujiayuan on the other side of Liangma River in Chaoyang District!"

Gu Weijun continued to ask: "How many people knew before that there was no one on duty in the store?"

Zhou Xingkun helplessly spread his hands, "Comrade Public Security, this is too much, and all the employees in the store know it!"

"Oh! Thank you!" Gu Weijun smiled and casually asked something unrelated to the case, "Manager Zhou, do you have any watches imported from Switzerland in stock in the store?"

Zhou Xingkun’s face was filled with a smile, “Yes, there are Omega, Longines, Plum Blossom, etc.!”

"Do you usually keep them in these two cupboards?"

"Yes, there are usually two cabinets, one for Swiss imported watches and one for our domestic watches!"

"Are all the stolen watches imported?"

Manager Zhou looked desolate: "Oh, that's not true. The cabinets that were smashed were filled with our domestic watches, such as Beijing brand, Shanghai brand, May Day brand, and the Swiss watch cabinet was not stolen! "

"Didn't you receive it from the warehouse tonight?"

Manager Zhou still smiled bitterly: "Yes, these two cupboards were moved directly into the warehouse! In the words of the public manager, it is more convenient to inventory the next day!"

On the way back to the city bureau, Gu Weijun jokingly said to Director Lu and others: "Director, these criminals don't know their stuff!"
