Chapter 814: Really Damn It

Click, click, click.

The police officer holding Badawi's arm narrowed his eyes into a slit and was dizzy from the camera flash.

They didn't make a big splash when arresting Badawi. On the contrary, they still tried their best to hide their actions. However, Badawi could be considered a public figure, and he was participating in a golf tournament. It was impossible for the police officers to wait for the game to end. There were too many variables, and Nicha himself didn't have the confidence to keep the secret for so long.

By the time Badawi was sent to the police station, there were already dozens of reporters outside the police station.

The son-in-law of the late member of parliament had now been brought back to the police station, and rumors in the streets that the "Luen Councilman Drowning Case" had been restarted, various connections, easily made people have a series of associations and gave birth to a large amount of ratings and reading volume.

As for where the "rumors in the streets" came from, there was no need to say it explicitly.

"Team Jiang, the person has been brought into the interrogation room. The other party requested a lawyer, and also remained silent." Nicha's tone was solemn but not anxious. This was a situation that could be thought of in advance.

Under the Western-style judicial system, remaining silent is almost a plan that all suspects will choose. The difference is only that some people really have lawyers, and some people not only don't have lawyers to help, but even can't afford a lawyer, so they have to spend a very, very long time in the interrogation room, and it makes no sense.

Badawi naturally has a lawyer, so he only needs to remain silent and wait for the lawyer to do things.

In this mode, wealthy criminal suspects in the early stages of interrogation are in an advantageous state.

However, from Nicha's perspective, Badawi's degree of resistance was still quite abnormal. In this kind of situation, isn't the normal person's reaction first to question the police "why did you catch me"?

However, if there is a question, there must be speech, and if there is dialogue, it is possible to be used by the police, so Badawi's performance is more like being prepared and trained in advance.

Of course, this point alone is not evidence, let alone reasoning. It's nothing that wealthy people have received interrogation education. It's nothing that Badawi is prepared.

But Nicha's emotions gradually stabilized.

"Theoretically, we can collect various biological characteristics of Badawi." Nicha looked at Jiang Yuan with anticipation.

"Currently, the only thing that can be used is footprints, but you might not be able to use them as court evidence." Jiang Yuan paused and added: "Direct evidence is temporarily like this. I think we can look at Badawi's previous confession. If he is the perpetrator, his previous confession has problems."

The Luen Councilman Drowning Case is a major case, so although there are no "white people" coming and going, the police still recorded confessions for everyone.

Nicha slapped his thigh: "I also think this is a breakthrough."

The new evidence points to Badawi, so looking back at the previous confession, if there are differences, you can delve into it.

Zhong Renlong picked out Badawi's confession and gave it to everyone to evaluate together.

Just as Jiang Yuan had read before, Badawi stated that in the second half of the party, he was drinking whiskey in the room with his friend Sulaiman.

Without Nicha saying much, someone immediately adjusted Sulaiman's confession and printed it out for everyone.

At the same time, police officers began to look for Sulaiman's figure in the video.

Sulaiman's statement was similar to Badawi's, and he was... quite cautious under surveillance. But looking at the timeline, in the second half of the party, Sulaiman appeared at the other end of the hall many times.

In other words, Sulaiman himself at least couldn't have been with Badawi the whole time, and his confession was obviously lying.

"Such an obvious problem, wasn't it discovered before? Bring Sulaiman back!" Nicha feigned anger.

Only the media really treated the "Luen Councilman Drowning Case" as the Kennedy assassination case. The police valued it, but it was impossible to investigate every person in detail. If it were the son-in-law Badawi, he would be paid some attention. Sulaiman was simply outside the police's line of sight. He was just one of the guests who came to the party, and his distance from Luen Councilman was far away.

At this time, it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

The professional media reporters didn't mean to get off work, but gathered more and more. TV station reporters even appeared with TV broadcast vehicles, and live broadcasts began at the scene.

Sulaiman sat in the back seat, sandwiched between two police officers, his anger gradually dissipated with the sound of reporters knocking on the police car window.

"Why did you catch me?" Sulaiman asked this question for the Nth time. His reaction belonged to the reaction of a normal arrested person, but it also explained from another side that his status as a fallen noble was no different from an ordinary civilian.

The police officer sandwiching him looked at him with the eyes of looking at a civilian, without saying a word.

By the time Sulaiman was brought into the interrogation room, Nicha and the others had also combed through most of the videos involving Sulaiman.

Friends who often observe the movements of objects through video surveillance know that observing the same object through multiple monitors is actually quite exhausting.

People under surveillance are originally deformed, and it's okay to look at objects they are familiar with. If the object has changed to a new object, it's easy to miss it if the video is played fast.

In addition, surveillance is usually not continuous. From one node to another, it's actually not that easy to control.

Computer operation is a problem. Video in reality is not always so easy to operate. Many videos are not networked—Ningtai County engaged in a large-scale video networking project, spending the money of several prefecture-level cities one after another, before networking the video surveillance in a short period of time. Subsequent problems will still be encountered.

The video surveillance inside Luen's house and outdoors naturally has worse conditions. They were not built in the same phase, and the added surveillance equipment is often neither unified nor connected. It is not easy to take them out separately and adjust the format for use.

As for observing the flow of personnel between various nodes, problems are often encountered. For example, from one node to another, it should have taken 30 seconds to arrive by walking, but the person under surveillance stood in the middle to smoke a cigarette, and the person checking the surveillance video had to break their brain.

The investigation of Sulaiman will naturally encounter various problems, but as long as there are enough people watching the surveillance, smoking a few cigarettes is useless. This is also one of the benefits of the suggestions put forward by the cold case special task force, because the case is important enough, the invested resources are enough, and clues can become clues. Otherwise, if only one group of four or five police officers is invested, and they are assigned to watch surveillance, catch people, drive, and write reports, let alone detailed investigation, it is very difficult to investigate a direction clearly.

"This guy, he cheated, right?" After watching for less than half an hour, a police officer cursed fiercely.

Nicha came over immediately and saw a yellow-clothed woman kissing Sulaiman in a parking lot surveillance angle, and then they walked to their cars.

The surveillance angle is a long-distance angle. From this video alone, even the faces can't be seen clearly, but if there is other video evidence, it can be determined that the man is Sulaiman.

"This guy is really damn it." Nicha knew what was going on as soon as he saw it, and asked: "Who is the woman, is it confirmed?"

"Checking backwards, it should also be a married woman." The police officer replied.

Nicha sighed: "Sulaiman is also married, right?"

"En, the family of the object is quite rich, at least richer than us." The police officer envied: "She is also quite beautiful. This guy is really damn it, ruining our case."

"I saw Sulaiman appear on the third floor before. The third floor is all bedrooms, right?" Another police officer mentioned.

"Find out if this woman appeared on the third floor." Nicha paused and added: "Familiarize yourself with the guest list, find a front photo to compare, how can there be no impression of such a beautiful woman? After confirming the identity, bring the person over. Really damn it!"
