"But that is how things stand now..." Liu Wangli gave a bitter smile. "The evidence points this way. We can't just refuse to investigate, can we?"
Liu Wangli knew of the relationship between Song Lingshan and Wei Zhao, and he knew of Wei Zhao's contributions in solving several previous cases, but he could not simply rule Wei Zhao out on those grounds alone!
"In my opinion, we should immediately open an investigation into this Wei Zhao fellow, pull his file, and compare it with the figure in the videos to determine whether they are the same person," Wang Hekan said.
Although Song Lingshan did not believe Wei Zhao could be the criminal suspect, with the evidence pointing here she had no choice but to nod. "An investigation is fine, but Wei Zhao is a friend of mine. He should not even be in Songshan City right now. He had no opportunity at all to commit these crimes!"
"Officer Song, saying that is a little hasty, isn't it? How do you know he is not in Songshan City? Perhaps he slipped back in secret. Surely you are not with him every day?" Wang Hekan retorted.
"Well..." Song Lingshan hesitated for a moment, and in the end could only say, "Fine, then let's investigate..."
The police already had all the files on hand, and all the surveillance footage related to the cases had been compiled together. The group went to the conference room, where Liu Wangli quickly played the surveillance footage from the time of the crimes on the projector...
Before, Song Lingshan had only found the suspect's figure vaguely familiar, but watching it again now, her heart turned cold at once!
Wei Zhao! That figure had to be Wei Zhao's! Song Lingshan instantly pictured Wei Zhao in her mind... and he merged perfectly with the figure in the footage, becoming one and the same man!
Yet in her heart Song Lingshan still refused to believe that Wei Zhao could be this crazed bank robber! Investigating Wei Zhao was purely a professional necessity.
After watching the video, Liu Wangli pulled up several archived photos of Wei Zhao and showed them to everyone. Once the photos had been shown, Wang Hekan slapped the table and declared, "Judging by my many years of experience as a detective, this Wei Zhao is the criminal suspect! These two men are one hundred percent the same person -- no appraisal needed! I suggest you can move straight to an arrest!"
"Arrest him directly?" Song Lingshan raised an eyebrow, anger flaring at once. What was wrong with this Wang Hekan? One glance and he could identify the suspect? Besides, whether it was Wei Zhao still required confirmation by the technical division. How could he reach such a rash conclusion?
"Detective Wang, well... although Wei Zhao and the suspect do look very similar in build at present, whether it really is Wei Zhao still has to be verified by the technical division..." Liu Wangli could see Song Lingshan was angry, so he hurriedly smoothed things over -- after all, Wang Hekan was a detective they had invited in!
