Chapter 1404: Hunting Crime + Fireworks 29
Now that there is a case, Xu Qin can no longer continue his vacation, especially since it involves human lives. Neither Xu Yidu's son, who has repeatedly asked for money, nor Xu Yidu and his wife are safe.
Meng Yanchen had no choice but to pack up and quickly send Xu Qin and Xu Yidu to the police station. Xu Qin formally accepted Xu Yidu's report.
Before the formal questioning, Xu Yidu suddenly asked Shen Yi, "How does Officer Shen Yi perform at work?"
This standard question shows that Xu Yidu and Shen Yi know each other, and they seem to be very close. Xu Qin smiled and said, "Officer Shen, he is a technician, and his physical fitness is indeed a little lacking, but he has a good brain and is very good at drawing portraits. I heard that he went to support other colleagues these two days."
After hearing what Xu Qin said, Xu Yidu's happiness and pride turned into relief, but his words couldn't help but carry a hint of bitterness: "Yes, I came to see him before, and another colleague of his also said that his current job is more meaningful to him and makes him feel at ease..."
Xu Qin didn't know how to comfort the old man, so he could only bring up business: "Look here, should we officially start taking notes——"
Xu Yidu's wife seemed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease, so he felt relieved when they arrived at the police station. Sister Fei took the aunt to sit next to her.
Xu Yidu looked back at his wife who was observing the surrounding environment with great interest, sighed, and then talked about his own affairs: "My wife and I have only one child, his name is Xu Siwen."
"When I was young, I was very excited about a child. I thought he had the talent and potential to become a top painter, so I put almost all my attention on him. Naturally, I paid less attention to Siwen. As a result, the relationship between us father and son was not good. After Siwen became an adult, he even went abroad to study and settle down."
"I have always felt guilty towards Siwen, so when he suddenly contacted us and said that he needed some money due to a failed investment, I didn't think much about it and quickly transferred all the money in my family to him. Even though he asked for money many times later, I still found ways to get it together for him..."
"But recently I really can't do anything. My husband and I are both familiar with the situation abroad. If we really can't come up with the money, who knows what will happen to Siwen. So I couldn't think of anything else and took my wife to the beach..."
Xu Qin had already sorted out the matter completely, and asked Xu Yidu directly: "Can you provide a video record of you and Xu Siwen? It would be even better if there is a video."
Xu Yidu quickly felt around for his cell phone. However, he had gone out with his wife to commit suicide today, so he didn't even bring his house keys, let alone his cell phone. However, he nervously replied, "There is a video. There is a video. It was the first time Siwen called me via video. I was very happy and recorded it. It's in my cell phone, but I didn't bring my cell phone..."
Xu Qin quickly comforted them: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll take it when I take you two back later. You also need to provide some information about Xu Siwen abroad, such as which school he was admitted to and in which year."
"We need to determine Xu Siwen's safety as soon as possible. I'm sure you are also very concerned about this."
Xu Yidu began to get nervous again: "Officer Xu, please hurry up--"
Xu Qin agreed immediately: "We will go through a public-to-public approach, and since this concerns the safety of Mr. Xu Siwen, the embassy will implement it as soon as possible."
"And I have some personal connections here. As long as the information is more detailed, maybe they can find Mr. Xu Siwen before the embassy."
Now that we have confirmed that Xu Siwen only got a green card and did not change his nationality, things will be much easier.
Xu Qin reported the situation here immediately, and Director Zhang drafted an official document and sent it out without saying a word. Meng Yanchen also heard some of it in the lounge. In view of the precedent last time, he also quickly contacted alumni who had studied abroad or worked there.
After leaving the police station, Xu Qin did not drive today, and had to trouble Meng Yanchen to be the driver. This was the first time that Meng Yanchen watched Xu Qin's work. Fortunately, he was driving a five-seater car today, otherwise Xu Qin's colleagues would have to ride their own electric scooters.
Whether it is collecting evidence or conducting a search, the police station cannot let Xu Qin go alone, so they have to bring colleagues along.
On the way to send the old couple back, Xu Qin finally sent a message to Shen Yi, asking him to visit the two old people after he came back. As for the other people in the team, with such a case happening, no one had time to rest.
On the way, Xu Qin also contacted the community and the police station. Xu Yiduo did not bring the key, so Xu Qin did not ask if there was a spare key left outside, so he asked the police station to bring a locksmith over. As a result, Xu Yiduo's wife went under the flower pot and took out the key to the front door as if she was familiar with the place.
Xu Qin just felt a little embarrassed. She had preconceived ideas and forgot that people could leave a spare key outside.
After entering the door, Xu Yiduo quickly took out his mobile phone and laptop, and found the videos and call records he had saved. As soon as the video was played, Xu Qin found that the light in the picture was wrong. He looked up and said to Xu Yiduo who was expectant: "Based on this video alone, I can conclude that this is a fake video synthesized by AI face-changing technology, so you are very likely to have been scammed."
Xu Yidu couldn't bear being defrauded of so much money, but the safety of his child was the most important thing. He breathed a long sigh of relief, "I'm glad Siwen is fine, I'm glad nothing happened to her!"
The elder sister from the community also said: "Yes, yes, the loss of money is certainly heartbreaking, but it is good that people are safe."
"You two have pensions, and you don't have too many expenses, so you can still make ends meet!"
Then I contacted my colleagues at the police station to learn about the case and prepared to organize lectures and popular science events so that others could learn from it and prevent it from happening again.
When they returned to the police station, all the friends who were on vacation had returned, and Shen Yi had also rushed back. Xu Qin directly handed Xu Yidu's phone and computer to Li Han, then turned to Shen Yi and said, "Don't worry, the old man thought the matter was too complicated before, and there must be some hidden secrets that are inconvenient to talk about. You can ask him yourself later."
Shen Yi calmed his breathing and nodded, then thanked him: "Thank you very much, Xu Qin. If something really happened to the teacher and his wife, I'm afraid--"
Xu Qin comforted Shen Yi and said, "You're welcome. We are the people's police."
"That beach is close to the legendary wealthy area, so not many people usually go there. I just happened to come across it this time, so it can be considered fate."
