The camera captured a photo of Li Jin a little after eleven, but now he's nowhere to be found.
Shen Xin's first thought was that Li Jin was about to flee.
But that wasn't necessarily the case.
'He might have just stepped out for a bit.'
Shen Xin hoped Li Jin was the suspect they were looking for, which would bring this theft case to a satisfying conclusion.
But the evidence just wasn't there.
Or rather, there was no evidence at all.
He had only fed a stray cat, happened to live near Xianghong Village, and happened to have a lot of electronic equipment at home.
He might just be a cat lover who kindly fed the black-and-white cat.
And the electronic gear at his home could just be a hobby.
'You can't solve a case by first making an assumption—that someone is the suspect—and then trying to twist the existing evidence to fit them and find a connection.'
'In the end, the evidence had to do the talking.'
