After successfully pulling off the heist, the group of thieves killed a key figure, completely cutting off the trail of the case.
The police officers all turned their gaze toward Xu Mo.
They were out of ideas and had no choice but to place their hopes on Xu Mo, hoping he might have some new insights.
Realizing everyone was looking at him, Xu Mo couldn't help but rub his face.
"Why are you all just staring at me? Come on, think of something yourselves! Can't you all rely on me?"
However, Xu Mo didn't complain. Instead, he reviewed all the clues they had gathered so far and continued to ponder.
What they knew for certain was that the thieves who had emptied the insurance company's vault were not a single person but a gang. There was no doubt about that; one person couldn't have pulled this off.
The thieves had split into two groups, working in tandem.
One person infiltrated the insurance company and tampered with the power supply room, burning the wires and damaging the generator, causing the entire company to lose power for a considerable period.
During the blackout, the insurance company's surveillance systems failed, and the power-operated vault door and layers of security checks also ceased to function. The company's employees were unable to enter the vault in time to stop the thieves from emptying it.
The main group of the thieves took advantage of the power outage to breach the vault's walls and ransacked the contents inside.
To be on the safe side, they even killed the member of the gang who had infiltrated the insurance company's power supply room.
It was because this person was killed that the police's investigation trail was completely cut off. The deceased was the only member of the thieves' gang that the police had discovered so far. With his death, the difficulty of solving the case increased significantly, and the police had completely lost the chance to track down the other members of the gang.
Working from the inside and outside, and then silencing the insider... The plan was very thorough. The thieves had directly severed the trail of clues, and Xu Mo felt that this case was quite tricky.
"So, any thoughts?" Han Fei asked.
"No..." Xu Mo shook his head and answered honestly.
"Maybe we should focus on the murder scene and the surveillance around the insurance company. There might be some clues there," Li Chen suggested.
"That could work..." Han Fei pondered. "Let's try it, even if it's a long shot."
Although Li Chen's method wasn't great, it was the only option they had at the moment.
However, Han Fei didn't hold much hope for Li Chen's suggestion.
These thieves were clearly well-prepared and highly professional, and they were also ruthless. To cover their tracks, they were even willing to kill their own accomplices.
These were professionals. If they had gone to such lengths to cover their tracks, it meant they had planned everything meticulously before the heist. They wouldn't have left any traces at the murder scene or in the surrounding surveillance.
In Han Fei's opinion, focusing on the murder scene and the surrounding surveillance would likely yield no useful findings.
While the police officers sealed off the scene and carefully examined the clues left at the murder site, Xu Mo continued to think about whether there was anything else unreasonable about the case.
He had a feeling that he was missing something very crucial... There must be something else that didn't add up!
He decided to return to the insurance company for another look.
Xu Mo pulled back the police tape, left the alley, and returned to the insurance company.
At that moment, several insurance company employees were discussing the recent theft.
"Do you guys know how much the stuff stolen from the vault is worth in total?"
"I don't know, but I guess at least a hundred million yuan, right?"
"A hundred million? You're underestimating it. Let me tell you... I overheard the manager calling the police when it happened. The total value of everything in our company's vault is close to a billion yuan!"
"Holy crap! A billion yuan?! If all that's gone, won't our boss have to pay a fortune in compensation?"
"Why are you worrying about whether he'll go bankrupt? We're just employees. This has nothing to do with us."
"Well, I still feel bad for our boss. Those thieves are really scumbags."
"You're such an idiot. Did a donkey kick your brain? Feeling sorry for a capitalist? You're really something!"
“Forget it, why are we even talking about this? I wonder if the police officers can get back the stolen stuff. If they can't, we'll probably be out of a job soon...”
"I doubt it. What can those cops do? They can't even interrogate properly. I bet this case will just be swept under the rug eventually."
"Ugh, don't jinx it. I don't want to lose my job."
"You're not seriously expecting them to get back the stolen stuff, are you? Let me tell you, it's impossible! If the police really could get back the stolen stuff... I'd chop my head off and let you use it as a soccer ball!"
"..."
Although Xu Mo was some distance away from the employees, his hearing was extremely sharp, and he had heard their entire conversation clearly.
"The boss of the insurance company..." Xu Mo muttered to himself.
He suddenly realized what that unreasonable point he had overlooked was.
The most unreasonable thing about this case was that the insurance company's boss had never shown up!
The insurance company had been robbed, and all the client belongings stored in the vault had been stolen.
The total value of the stolen items was close to a billion yuan.
That was an astronomical figure, even for a successful businessman. A billion yuan was definitely not a small amount.
If the stolen items couldn't be recovered, the insurance company's boss would have to bear the losses, which would require him to pay compensation. And the amount he would have to pay might not just be a billion yuan; it could be even more.
Wasn't the boss anxious or afraid?
If he was, why hadn't he come to check on the situation, even just to inquire about the progress of the investigation?
He hadn't shown up, as if he didn't care about the matter at all. This was highly suspicious.
Xu Mo's mind suddenly came up with a bold conjecture.
He immediately went to find the manager.
"Where's your boss now?"
"Ah? My boss..." The manager was taken aback. "I... I don't know."
"You don't know? Didn't you tell him about the company being robbed?"
The manager nodded. "I told him, right after it happened, I called him."
"And what was his reaction?" Xu Mo asked, staring at the manager.
"He cursed at me a few times and then hung up."
"Did he say he was coming to the company?"
"No."
"And he didn't even tell you to call the police!?"
"No..." From Xu Mo's questions, the manager could sense where Xu Mo was going with this. He looked at Xu Mo in confusion. "Officer, are you suspecting our boss...?"
