Zhu Jiaxu asked, "Are you suspecting them of fraud?"
"I don't have any evidence, but if he wasn't guilty, he wouldn't have lied about his alibi."
"Zhao Ming has a point." Han Bin turned to look at Ma Jingbo. "Captain Ma, what do you think?"
"Since there's such a possibility, bring him back for questioning. Don't wait until we find out that it was the gold shop owner who stole the jewelry. "
Han Bin nodded. "Let's do as Captain Ma says. Zhao Ming, bring him back later."
"Yes."
"Li Qin, go and verify Pan Ru's alibi."
"Got it."
After summarizing Team Two's situation, Han Bin looked at Ma Jingbo. "Captain Ma, is there any progress on your side?"
Ma Jingbo replied, "We've contacted the witnesses of the robbery seven years ago and asked them to come to the police station to identify the robbers. We've also started to compare the videos of the three cases, but we haven't found any valuable clues yet. "
It had been seven years since the case, and many things had changed. It was very difficult to re-investigate.
"It's already difficult to find new clues for the two cases seven years ago. Now, we're focusing on the Jiufu Gold Shop case. The more evidence you find, the more clues you can compare. Our two teams need to communicate and share information in time to solve the case as soon as possible." At this moment, Ma Jingbo was a little depressed. He used to be a member of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit, and he had a leading position in the joint investigation team. But now, it was different. He had been transferred to the North District Branch, and he could only play a supporting role.
"Captain Ma is right. This is also the purpose of our task force." Han Bin could also see that Ma Jingbo was a little depressed. Although they were on good terms, Ma Jingbo was no longer a member of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit. He represented the Criminal Investigation Unit of the North District Branch, and naturally, he had to fight for credit for the North District Branch. However, since the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit was involved in the case, they had to take the lead. This was something that Han Bin would not give in to.
After the meeting, everyone split up.
…
7: 20 pm.
North City Branch, Interrogation Room 1.
When Pei Pengfei was brought into the interrogation room, he was still confused. "Officer Zhao, didn't you say that there was progress in the investigation of the case and that you wanted me to come to the police station to assist in the investigation? Why did you bring me here? "
Zhao Ming laughed. "What's wrong with that? Isn't it quite peaceful here?"
"Officer Zhao, you can't joke about this. I'm a law-abiding citizen. Although this is my first time here, I've seen it on TV. Isn't this an interrogation room? Only criminals come here. My family's gold shop was robbed, and I'm the victim. It's not appropriate for you to bring me here. "Pei Pengfei pointed at the chair beside him.
"This thing is called an interrogation chair, right? I've seen it on TV. I wouldn't sit on it even if you beat me to death. If I sat on it, wouldn't I become a prisoner?"
"Pei Pengfei, you should have heard of the saying, 'an upright body is not afraid of a crooked shadow'. Whether a person is guilty or not has nothing to do with where he sits. What really matters is what he does and what he has done. "
"I didn't do anything. I'm the victim. My family's gold shop was robbed. Officer Zhao, you don't have anything against me, do you? I want to see Officer Han. Isn't he the person in charge of the case? I want to talk to him. "
"Our Captain Han is very busy. He might be interrogating a criminal right now. Why do you want to see him? What situation do you have to report? "
"I have a situation. I have something to report to him."
"What is it?"
"It's about the robbery at the gold shop."
"Tell me first. If there's a need, I'll report to Captain Han."
"No, I want to talk to Captain Han directly and report to him directly."
"Alright, wait here." With that, Zhao Ming left the interrogation room, leaving Pei Pengfei alone in the room.
Zhao Ming walked out of the interrogation room and entered the observation room. There was a man standing in the room. It was the Captain of Second Squadron, Han Bin.
"Captain Han, Pei Pengfei wants to see you. He said he has something to report, but he's very slippery. There might be some lies in his words. "
Han Bin smiled. "There's nothing to be afraid of. I'll just squeeze it out."
Then, Han Bin and Pei Pengfei entered the interrogation room. Pei Pengfei stood by the wall, as if he was purposely staying away from the interrogation chair.
When he saw Han Bin enter, Pei Pengfei quickly walked over and held Han Bin's hand. "Captain Han, you're finally here. If you didn't come, I would've been wrongly accused."
Zhao Ming was unhappy. With a straight face, he said, "Hehe, speak clearly. Who's wrongly accused you?"
"Officer Zhao, then give me a reasonable reason why you brought me into the interrogation room."
Zhao Ming snorted. "Pei Pengfei, you're taking advantage of me. You don't even know what you've done. You still want me to make it clear to you. Let me tell you, if you continue to be so stubborn and lie to the police, you'll only add to your crimes."
"I didn't. How would I dare to lie to the police? I wouldn't even dare to."
Hearing their conversation, Han Bin frowned. He walked to the interrogation table and pointed at the interrogation chair. "Pei Pengfei, sit down and talk."
"Captain Han, I really can't sit on this chair. If I sit, I won't be able to explain myself. I understand."
"From your attitude, it seems like you don't want to cooperate with the police and want to fight to the end."
"No, no, that's not what I meant … Aiyo, I'm really wrongly accused. I don't even know why you arrested me."
"If you don't know, then sit on the chair and think about it. If you don't want to sit in this room, I'll get someone to bring you to the detention room. It's quieter there. Maybe it can help you think it through. "
Pei Pengfei was shocked. "Don't, don't, don't. I can't go there."
"Then don't talk nonsense. Sit down."
Pei Pengfei looked at Han Bin and then glanced at Zhao Ming. He knew that his resistance was futile. He could only sit on the interrogation chair helplessly. However, he only sat on half of the chair. "I'll sit. I'm not afraid of a crooked shadow. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Han Bin didn't want him to sit on the interrogation chair. He just wanted his attitude. If he didn't even cooperate with this, he wouldn't cooperate with the police.
"Captain Han, you can tell me now. Why did you ask me to come here?"
"It's not me. Think about it yourself. Once you understand and explain yourself, you can go home. If you can't explain yourself, you can go to the detention room. It's that simple. "
Pei Pengfei scratched his head. "Aiya, what do you want me to say? I'm confused."
Han Bin sat on the chair and said calmly, "Pei Pengfei, don't play tricks. The police have investigated your situation very clearly. If you confess, you will be lenient. If you resist, you will be severely punished."
"But … But I really don't know what to say."
"If you don't know what to say, just sit here. We'll accompany you. When you've sat for an hour, you'll be transferred to the detention room."
Pei Pengfei sighed, lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Han Bin turned his head and looked at Zhao Ming. "It's 7: 40 now. Start the countdown."
"Yes."
Zhao Ming took out his phone, turned on the timer and placed it on the interrogation table. Zhao Ming's timer software was very interesting. It even had the sound of a mechanical watch. "Ka ka ka …"
Although the sound wasn't loud, the interrogation room was very quiet. There wasn't a single noise and it could be heard very clearly.
In the ears of ordinary people, the sound of the clock was the sound of the clock. Because the sound wasn't loud, it could be ignored if one didn't listen carefully.
But in Pei Pengfei's ears, it was different. To him, it was like a devil's voice. He was so scared that his whole body was trembling.
After a long time, Pei Pengfei finally couldn't stand it anymore. "Captain Han, I'm willing to cooperate with the police. I swear, I will confess honestly, but I really don't know what I did wrong. Can you give me some hints?"
"If you don't know what you did wrong, it means that you haven't figured it out yet. There are forty-two minutes left. You can continue thinking."
After a while, Pei Pengfei finally couldn't stand it anymore. "I said … I didn't drink at Zhe Bie House that night. I lied to the police."
Zhao Ming snorted. "You know it very well. Why are you still pretending? I almost believed you. With your acting talent, if you were an actor, you would have been a movie king. It's a pity that you didn't have the talent."
"I … I didn't mean to lie to you. I also have my difficulties."
Han Bin leaned against the interrogation table. "Tell us your difficulties. If it's reasonable and not illegal, we can let you go."
"It's not illegal. I never do anything illegal." Speaking of this, Pei Pengfei showed a flattering look. "But before I tell you, you have to agree to a request of mine."
"As long as it's not illegal, not against morality, and not harming the interests of others, I can promise you."
"Don't worry. It's not against the law, as long as you don't tell my wife."
Zhao Ming was a little impatient. "Don't waste time. Hurry up and tell me."
"I … I was with a friend that day, but my friend was a woman. My wife is narrow-minded. I was afraid that she would misunderstand, so I didn't dare to tell the truth."
"We don't want to interfere in the affairs between you and your wife. But why did you lie to the police? "
"Comrade police, when you asked me, my wife was next to me. She kept moving closer to me. If I told her at that time, she would have probably heard it."
"You're really stubborn. Why didn't you tell the truth when you entered the police station?"
Pei Pengfei sighed. "I was scared out of my wits. I really thought that something big had happened. I didn't expect you to investigate so thoroughly. After all, I'm the victim. My gold shop was robbed. Why are you investigating me instead of the robbers? "
Zhao Ming stared at him carefully. "Pei Pengfei, you sound like there's a hidden meaning in your words. Are you trying to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial? Are you hiding something from the police?"
Pei Pengfei waved his hand. "No, really."
"Pei Pengfei, who did you meet?"
"A female friend."
"What's her name? Where did you meet her?"
Pei Pengfei was in a difficult position. "Comrade police, this is my privacy. Can I not tell you?"
"If you don't tell us, how do we know if it's true or not?"
"Comrade police, I don't understand why you're investigating me. Even if I'm lying, I can't possibly rob my own shop, right?"
Zhao Ming retorted. "Didn't you buy insurance? Who knows if you're stealing from someone you're guarding?"
Hearing this, Pei Pengfei was stunned. Then, he knocked his head hard. "So that's what you're suspecting. I'm really innocent. I didn't buy insurance to cheat."
"Then tell us clearly who you met during the robbery so that we won't suspect you again."
Pei Pengfei said helplessly. "Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell you. But you have to promise me that you won't tell my wife. Otherwise, I'm done for."
"Speak."
"I went to see … Pan Ru."
"Pan Ru?" Zhao Ming thought the name was familiar.
"Yes, Pan Ru."
"Oh, I remember now. She's the shop assistant from your shop."
"Yes, that's her. We were eating together that night. Do you think I dare to tell anyone? If my wife finds out, she'll tear me apart."
Han Bin scratched his head. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's your relationship with Pan Ru?"
"How should I say this? My wife is a stubborn person. She goes against everything I say. She has to be on top of me. If she doesn't like me, she'll fight with me. Every time she fights, she'll ignore me for a few days. She's a typical cold-blooded person. Later on … I wanted to find someone who could understand me. We don't have to do anything. Eating together, watching a movie, talking to each other is good too. We're the type of confidantes. Yes, confidantes. "
"Where were you two at the time of the robbery?"
"Wanda Hotel."
"What time did you go? What time did you leave? "
"I arrived at eight. I received a call from Lin Anqi. She told me that something happened at the gold shop, so I left immediately."
Zhao Ming laughed. "Wow, confidantes? You make it sound so simple. I almost believed you."
"Captain Han, I'm telling the truth. I've told you everything. If you don't believe me, you can check it out. But please don't tell my wife. Otherwise, she'll make a scene. She might even fight me to the death."
Zhao Ming snorted. "Now you're afraid. What were you doing before?"
"I …" Pei Pengfei wanted to say something but stopped. He sighed. "Officer Zhao, you're still young. You'll understand when you're my age."
"I'd rather be your age and not understand."
Pei Pengfei said, "That means you're very happy."
Han Bin raised his chin. "Alright, stop joking. Go confirm it."
Zhao Ming took out his phone and left the interrogation room.
When he was interrogating Pei Pengfei, Han Bin had been observing his expression. He didn't seem to be lying when he explained Pan Ru's situation.
Han Bin took out his phone and tapped on a picture. "Do you know this person?"
Han Bin tapped on the picture. It was the suspicious man who had been loitering around the gold shop.
Pei Pengfei took a look and shook his head.
Han Bin reminded him. "Do you still want to catch the suspect who robbed your gold shop? Look carefully!"
"Yes." Pei Pengfei pulled himself together and took a closer look. "Captain Han, I really don't know him."
Han Bin put away his phone.
Pei Pengfei asked, "Captain Han, what does this person do? What does he have to do with my gold shop being robbed? "
"The case is still under investigation. It's not convenient to reveal."
Pei Pengfei was speechless.
"Creak …" The door to the interrogation room opened. Zhao Ming walked in and asked Pei Pengfei, "What's the hotel room number?"
"I think it's 808."
Zhao Ming walked to Han Bin and said softly, "Pan Ru admitted that she was with Pei Pengfei at the time of the robbery. The hotel room number matches as well."
Han Bin nodded.
Pei Pengfei stood up from the interrogation chair. "Captain Han, can I go now?"
"Not yet." Han Bin responded and instructed Zhao Ming, "Go to Wanda and check the CCTV. Let him go after you've verified it."
