The roar almost scared the man out of his wits.
His whole body was pressed against the cold ground, and his face was pressed against the ground. It was an indescribable pain.
"Slap!" The man was slapped on the back of his head, followed by a shout.
"Behave yourself."
"It's a misunderstanding. I'm a good person. Don't hit me."
"Ka ka." Two crisp sounds were heard, and the man felt a chill on his wrist. "Let me go. Why are you grabbing me?"
"Ah." The man felt a pain on his scalp, and he stood up while being grabbed by the hair.
Han Bin walked over and sized him up. "What's your name?"
"Are you really the police? Why are you arresting me? "
Zhao Ming flashed his police badge. "Don't talk nonsense. Answer my questions."
The man immediately became listless when he saw the badge. "My name is Mu Chengang."
"Where are you going dressed like this?"
"I … I was sleeping just now, and there was someone walking upstairs in high heels. The soundproofing of this apartment building isn't good, and the sound was especially loud. I just wanted to go upstairs to take a look, and ask the person upstairs not to make such a big noise in the house. "
"If that's the reason, then you don't have to go upstairs. It has nothing to do with the person upstairs. The police deliberately made this noise so that you would open the door yourself." Han Bin looked into the house. "How many people are there in the house?"
"Just me."
Han Bin had someone check the surveillance, and he was indeed the only one who came in and out of the house recently. But to be safe, he bluffed. "How dare you lie? The police have been watching you for a long time, and there's at least one accomplice in the house."
"Sir, you must be mistaken. I'm really the only one living here, and I didn't break the law. Why are you arresting me?"
Zhu Jiaxu warned. "Let me tell you, if there's someone hiding in the house, and the police are attacked, you'll be in big trouble, and you'll have to bear the responsibility. You won't have a good time then. "
Mu Chengang raised his right hand out of habit, but found that it was cuffed. "I swear, I'm really the only one in the house."
Han Bin whispered, "Team Leader Zhu, take some people and search."
"Yes, sir." Zhu Jiaxu called a few people to check their guns and rushed into the house with loaded guns.
Mu Chen Gang's face turned green when he saw this. His lips trembled as he mumbled, "Oh my god, what's going on? Why are there so many people here? What have I done wrong?"
"Safe!"
"Safe."
"Safe."
The apartment wasn't big, so the search was quickly completed.
Han Bin breathed a sigh of relief and raised his chin. "Mu Chenggang, let's go inside and talk. You're shirtless outside. Let's not talk about whether you're cold or not. It's also an eyesore to us."
Zhao Ming smiled and said, "That's right. What if he leads the children astray?"
Mu Chenggang had already been handcuffed. He didn't dare to disobey, so he obediently walked into the house. "Police comrade, why are you arresting me? I'm really wronged. I'm an honest and dutiful person. I've never seen such a big scene."
Han Bin walked around the apartment and carefully looked at the environment. It was a typical loft apartment with two floors. There was a large living room on the ground floor and a small platform on the upper floor that could be used as a bedroom. However, the platform was a little low. At best, one could only sit on the bed. There was no way to stand up.
"You're wronged. It's not like we have nothing better to do. Why would we come here to wronged you? Pat your chest and ask yourself, have you really not done anything shameful? "
"I swear to God, I really haven't. I'm definitely a law-abiding citizen."
Han Bin sat on the sofa and stared at him. "Then let me ask you, law-abiding citizen. Where were you on the 1st of April at ten o 'clock in the morning? Where were you on the 3rd of April at two o 'clock in the afternoon? "
"I … I was at Dingxi Road."
"Dingxi Road is more than ten kilometers from east to west. The easternmost part is also Dingxi Road, and the westernmost part is also Dingxi Road. Tell me the exact location."
"It's near Dingxi Road and Weiming Street."
"What did you do there?"
"Nothing much. I just had nothing better to do, so I decided to play."
"Play? How do you play? Where did you go to play? "
"I just wandered around that area. It's very lively there, and I quite like the atmosphere there. I just like to go shopping."
"You're quite free. As far as I know, most companies don't have holidays on the 1st of April. What do you do?"
"I … I'm currently unemployed."
"How long have you been unemployed? What was your last job?"
Mu Chenggang rolled his eyes. "I'm actually a freelancer."
"Freelancers should also have a job, right? What do you do?"
"I …" Mu Chenggang lowered his head and stammered for a long time.
"You're not doing illegal work, right?"
"No, no, I don't do illegal things."
"Since you're not doing anything illegal, why are you hiding it?"
"I … I'm a private investigator."
"Detective?" Han Bin frowned. "So, you're also doing detective work at Dingxi Road and Weiming Street?"
"Sort of."
"What do you mean sort of? Tell me clearly, who hired you, and who did they ask you to keep an eye on? "
"I was hired by someone to keep an eye on Pei Pengfei."
"Who asked you to keep an eye on Pei Pengfei?"
"I don't know either. They paid me, so I did it. They asked me to pay so that I could investigate Pei Pengfei. What would I look like if I investigated them instead? "
"What did the employer ask you to investigate Pei Pengfei?"
"They asked me to keep an eye on what Pei Pengfei had done and who he interacted with most, especially women."
"And then? Tell me what you found out. "
"Nothing much at first. Pei Pengfei would either go to the gold shop or investigate the pot rings. But after following him for a few days, I found a problem. Pei Pengfei was very close to a female employee in the gold shop. To find out more about that woman, I even went to the gold shop. The woman's surname was Pan. She was young, pretty, and had good skin. She was the type that many men liked. So, I paid attention and told the employer about it. "Mu Chenggang thought about it and continued.
"At first, the employer seemed a little agitated and asked me in detail. They even asked me to take more photos. But on April 5th, I called the employer again. She suddenly told me not to investigate anymore and even transferred me the rest of the payment. I didn't go back to the gold shop after that. "
"How did you prove that you're a detective? How did you contact the employer?"
Mu Chenggang pointed at the top of the cabinet. "I hid a phone and computer on the top of the cabinet. They're where I usually store photos. There are photos of Pei Pengfei and that woman together.
As for contacting the employer, we usually send her a WeChat message. Her WeChat name is Time in the Wind.
Officer comrade, I'm telling the truth. I haven't done anything bad. Speaking of which, why did you arrest me? What happened? "
Zhao Ming took the phone and laptop from the top of the cabinet. Han Bin opened them and saw many photos of Pei Pengfei and Pan Ru. The two of them were holding hands and arm in arm like a couple in love.
"Can you still contact the employer?"
Mu Chenggang asked. "She has already paid the rest of the payment. I don't know if she will talk to me."
"Contact her."
"Okay." Mu Chenggang responded and looked at Zhang Zian with a questioning gaze. "My phone is on the sofa."
Han Bin warned, "I can give you the phone, but if you dare to spout nonsense …"
Mu Chenggang swore, "Don't worry. I definitely won't dare. I'll say whatever you want me to say."
Han Bin thought for a moment and whispered a few instructions to Mu Chenggang. Then, he asked him to video call the employer.
After a while, the employer finally picked up. However, the video call was turned into a voice call. Zhang Zian couldn't see the other party's face and could only hear his voice. "Didn't I already say that it's over? I've already paid you the rest of the payment. Why are you contacting me again? "
"Boss, I've discovered something new about Pei Pengfei. Are you interested?"
"Not interested. I repeat, my detective business ends here. No matter what you find, I won't pay you anymore. "
"Don't mind me. I have big news about Pei Pengfei. Do you want to know?"
"What big news? Isn't it just him fooling around with that woman called Pan Ru?"
"No, it's much more important than that."
"What is it? Tell me. "
"Pei Pengfei's gold shop was robbed, and he lost hundreds of thousands."
"Aiyo, I don't need you to tell me that. I'll do it myself … Alright, stop it. Our employment relationship is over. I don't need the detective work anymore. You can find someone else." After that, the other party hung up the voice call.
It was a woman who picked up the voice call with a local accent. She seemed to have lowered her voice to avoid being heard.
Zhu Jiaxu said, "It's a woman who picked up the voice call. Could it be Pei Pengfei's wife?"
Zhang Shungu chuckled. "I think it's possible."
Zhao Ming said, "I've seen Pei Pengfei's wife. This voice doesn't sound like it, but it sounds familiar. It's weird."
Han Bin had the same feeling. After thinking for a moment, he thought of someone. "Lin Anqi."
