He also searched Han’s bag for property but found only a few hundred yuan and a bank card. He forced Han to speak out the card password because he thought massage staff had to save a lot of money. On the occasion when he did not pay attention, Han dropped three used napkins from the window, hoping to help the police rely on them to find the suspect.
