Chapter 1178
Captain Liu is the head of the special task force, responsible for investigating this case.
He explained the specifics of the case in detail to everyone present.
Just after he finished speaking, a trainee said, "So, you mean all the surveillance footage from the places Yan Han visited in the days before the DUI has been checked, but nothing suspicious was found?"
Captain Liu nodded, "That's right."
Yan Han claimed he was framed and set up.
But the investigation found no issues.
All the surveillance footage was reviewed, and there was no evidence of anyone sneaking into his car to secretly plant drugs.
The same trainee said, "Eliminate all impossible factors, and there's only one answer."
Everyone looked at him, even Song Guanchao watched the young trainee with some anticipation.
He remembered that this trainee seemed to be called Zhou Xin, a well-known figure in their class.
This person was resourceful and got along well with everyone.
Captain Liu asked, "What answer?"
Zhou Xin smiled confidently and said, "The answer is, Yan Han is lying!"
"Those drugs are his!"
"Even though he has no history of drug use, that doesn't mean anything."
Captain Liu didn't immediately dismiss his answer.
In fact, everyone in the task force felt that Yan Han was lying.
But he had an influential aunt in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.
So even if they couldn't find evidence to prove his innocence, they had to keep investigating.
Anyway, they decided to draw it out slowly.
Song Guanchao listened to him and couldn't help but smile.
It's not that he was being naive, but from an outsider's perspective, reaching this conclusion was quite normal.
However, Song Guanchao was certain that Yan Han was indeed framed.
He had read the case file, and his first reaction after reading it was that everything was just too coincidental!
Noticing his smile, Wen Ru suddenly said, "District Chief Song, do you have any thoughts?"
Everyone immediately looked at Song Guanchao, their expressions somewhat surprised.
This Political Commissioner Wen actually knew Song Guanchao.
Song Guanchao was also surprised. She knows me?
Zhou Xin furrowed his brows slightly, seeming displeased that his spotlight was being stolen.
But he maintained his composure, smiled, and said, "District Chief Song, how do you find my answer?"
"Very reasonable." Song Guanchao nodded.
Zhou Xin's smile widened, and he found Song Guanchao much more agreeable.
"However, I have some different views." Song Guanchao said.
Zhou Xin raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Let's hear it, District Chief Song."
Song Guanchao picked up the case file and said, "The case file shows that after Yan Han left the club, he drank some alcohol and then happened to encounter a police checkpoint for DUI..."
Before he could finish, Zhou Xin also tapped the case file in his hand: "This wasn't just a coincidence."
"District Chief Song, maybe you're not looking close enough. The file clearly states that police already checked, the officers weren't checking DUIs there on a whim. It was the third DUI check on that stretch of road in a month."
"Meaning, it's impossible for the police to conspire with others to frame Yan Han."
"The police have considered everything you've thought of."
Being interrupted, Song Guanchao didn't get angry and patiently waited for him to finish before saying, "I trust the police wouldn't be involved, as such a thing would be thoroughly investigated. It's not worth the risk for the police."
"I'm just saying there's an element of coincidence here."
Zhou Xin still expressed a different opinion: "I don't think this is a coincidence."
"Director Zhou, if you have an opinion, please wait until I've finished speaking to express it."
"When I am speaking, it's best not to interrupt; it breaks my train of thought."
No matter how good his temper was, Song Guanchao couldn't abide him interrupting repeatedly.
His obviously unfriendly tone made Zhou Xin raise an eyebrow.
Just as Zhou Xin was about to speak, Wen Ru said, "District Chief Song, please continue."
Zhou Xin's open mouth closed again, but his glare showed his displeasure at Song Guanchao.
Song Guanchao said, "According to Yan Han's deposition, when he was stopped for the DUI check, he revealed his identity, hoping the officer might let him go."
"But he didn't expect it was a live-streamed DUI checkpoint."
"Upon learning it was live, Yan Han stopped putting pressure and cooperated with the officers."
At this time, a cadre sitting next to Zhou Xin said, "District Chief Song, everything you've said is in the case file. Do you need to repeat it specifically?"
Song Guanchao raised an eyebrow, glanced at the person, then at Zhou Xin.
It was clear this person was close to Zhou Xin and spoke on his behalf.
"Knock-knock." Wen Ru tapped the table and said, "If you have questions, take turns speaking. When District Chief Song is talking, others shouldn't interrupt."
The person smiled, "I just think District Chief Song is saying too much that isn't needed."
After he finished, he spread his hands to indicate he wouldn't say anything more.
Song Guanchao continued, "From the DUI to the encounter with the police, although quite coincidental, it doesn't necessarily mean anything."
"What really raises questions for me is that someone recognized Yan Han in the live stream."
"Yan Han was once a deputy bureau chief and never appeared in public."
"In that DUI checkpoint live stream, how many people were online? How is it that, so coincidentally, someone recognized Yan Han?"
At this point, Song Guanchao stopped and scanned the officers present.
The officers were also taken aback by his words.
This detail had slipped past them.
With Song Guanchao's reminder, they couldn't help but wonder how it was so coincidental for someone in the live stream to recognize Yan Han.
Moreover, it wasn't just one person who recognized him.
This could no longer be described as a coincidence.
The task force members, all veteran officers, could tell just from this single detail that Yan Han was indeed being framed.
Noticing the furrowed brows and serious contemplation of these officers, the trainees gave them curious looks.
They obviously didn't expect Song Guanchao to notice such details.
Moreover, his words clearly brought some enlightenment to the officers.
Zhou Xin also noticed, growing increasingly dissatisfied.
He had just said Yan Han was lying, and Song Guanchao turned around and provided the opposite conclusion, backed by evidence supporting his hypothesis.
In comparison, Zhou Xin's deduction seemed like a joke.
Jiang Yiren looked at Song Guanchao with admiration, and even Chen Yirou seemed surprised, though Cheng Xiang wasn't as surprised.
He had specifically learned about Song Guanchao and knew he had previously helped the police solve several cases, showing standout performance.
This indicated he had a certain talent for investigation.
Wen Ru looked at him appreciatively and said, "District Chief Song, your observations are very meticulous. You've provided us with a new perspective."
Even the Political Commissioner praised him, causing Zhou Xin even more displeasure: "It could still just be a coincidence, proving nothing directly."
Wen Ru ignored him, stood up, and said, "Alright, if you have questions, ask Captain Liu. If you need help, also coordinate with Captain Liu."
"District Chief Song, please come with me."
Everyone looked surprised and envious; clearly, Song Guanchao's performance had impressed Wen Ru greatly.
