Han Bin went to the north house. The lighting in the house was a little dim. After the special reagent treatment, there was a large amount of blue fluorescent reflections in the house.
The person in charge of the scene investigation was the technical department of the North District Branch. A technician walked over and said, "Captain Han, we found a large amount of blood here. It's highly likely that a murder took place."
Han Bin also knew how to identify blood stains. Even if the technician didn't say it, he could still tell.
Judging from the blood splatter, the deceased should have been killed on the east side of the north house. The furniture and floor in the house had been cleaned. It was impossible to tell with the naked eye. Only special reagents or specially trained police dogs could identify it.
Han Bin turned and walked to the yard. When the deceased was killed, there was a large amount of blood. The possibility of the body being transported away was not high. It was very likely that the body was hidden in this old house.
The three houses had been searched thoroughly. It was impossible to hide the body, so the deceased's body was most likely buried in the yard.
Then, Han Bin began to instruct the team members to dig in the yard.
Seeing the team members digging at the scene with shovels, Zhang Fangjie shouted, "Stop! What are you doing? Who told you to dig in my yard? "
Zhao Ming said, "Old lady, we have a search warrant. We are handling the case according to the law. After we finish digging, we will fill in the ground for you. Don't worry."
"You are not allowed to dig. Put down the shovels. If you dare to dig my yard again, I will fight with you." While speaking, the old lady ran to the pigsty and picked up a manure fork. She threatened, "If you don't let me live, don't think of living either."
Han Bin looked on coldly. In the face of such a farce, he really didn't want to say a word.
Wang Xiao walked up and persuaded, "Auntie, don't be agitated. We are digging for the case. Please put down the manure fork and we can talk."
Zhang Fangjie's face was fierce. "You are digging my yard now. Are you going to tear down my house later? I don't care who you are, but no!"
Wang Xiao also had a headache. If it was a young man, he would have already been restrained. However, in the face of an elderly person, the police would also be restrained. If something really happened to this old lady, the police would be cursed to death.
"Auntie, listen to me. We found blood in your old house. We suspect that there might be some dangerous items in your yard. That's why we have to dig and search. This is also for the safety of your family."
"Bah, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Don't try to lie to me. I won't let you dig up my courtyard even if you boast so much. " Zhang Fangjie shouted as she moved forward rhythmically. She also thrust her fork forward, looking like she was fighting with a bayonet.
The pitchfork was also a dangerous item, and it could really hurt the team members.
Han Bin frowned slightly, dissatisfied with how Wang Xiao handled the situation. Just as he was about to say something, a young woman ran in from outside.
"What are you doing? Mom, why are you holding a manure fork? What's going on? "
He Yingsheng walked over and whispered to Han Bin, "Captain Han, this is Cui Mei. She's Zhao Xiaohai's wife."
"Cui Mei, you came at the right time. These people want to dig up our yard. Hurry up and stop them." Zhang Fangjie was quite strong. As she spoke, she waved the manure fork and stabbed it forward.
Cui Mei grabbed Zhang Fangjie's arm. "Mom, put down the manure fork first. If there's anything, I'll tell them. It's no big deal."
"Xiaohai isn't here. They're bullying us. I'm going to talk to their leader."
Cui Mei sighed and persuaded, "Mom, put down the manure fork first. With me here, no one will dare to bully you."
"Tell them to put down the shovel, and I'll put down the manure fork."
Cui Mei walked over and said softly, "Officer, my mother-in-law is old. Please don't lower yourself to her level. Coax her to leave first. If there's anything, tell me."
Han Bin also didn't want to deal with unreasonable people. "What's your name?"
"Cui Mei."
"Madam Cui, I'll give you face and persuade Zhang Fangjie to leave within five minutes. If she still threatens the police after five minutes, I'll arrest her for obstructing law enforcement."
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry." Cui Mei turned around and walked to her mother-in-law. She tried her best to persuade her mother-in-law to leave the yard.
After sending her mother-in-law away, Cui Mei wiped the sweat on her forehead. "Officer He, what are you doing?"
Cui Mei followed He Yingsheng here and only knew him.
He Yingsheng pointed at Han Bin. "This is our Captain Han. He's also the person in charge of the case."
"Captain Han, I'm Zhao Xiaohai's wife. Why are you looking for him?"
"We're investigating a criminal case. Zhao Xiaohai is also involved in the case. We want to find him to understand the situation."
"What kind of case is it?"
"It's not convenient to reveal it to the public for now. Do you know where Zhao Xiaohai is?"
"Xiaohai? Did he go out to work?"
"Where did he go? When did he leave? What kind of work is he doing?"
"He went to Shanghai. He left on the morning of April 4th. What kind of work can he do? He's working at a construction site."
Han Bin touched his chin. "But your mother-in-law said that your husband went to Beijing."
Cui Mei was a little embarrassed. "Ah … She's old. Maybe her memory is bad."
"How's your memory?"
"I'm okay. What's wrong?"
"April 3rd at around nine o 'clock in the evening. Where was Zhao Xiaohai?"
Cui Mei thought about it. "I think he went out for a drink."
"Where did he go for a drink? Who did he drink with? When did he leave and when did he come back? "
"I don't know who he drank with. He left before seven o 'clock. He drank the whole night. He didn't come back when I went to bed. I think he came back after midnight."
"Who does Zhao Xiaohai hang out with recently?"
"I'm not sure. He has a lot of friends, but they're all drinking buddies. I don't know them."
Han Bin pointed at the motorcycle and asked, "Does this motorcycle belong to Zhao Xiaohai?"
"It's a motorcycle." Cui Mei mumbled. "I'm not sure either. I don't come to this yard often. I haven't seen it before. Maybe it's a friend's motorcycle and he borrowed it."
Han Bin smiled. This woman called Cui Mei was much better at talking than her mother-in-law.
"When was the last time you contacted Zhao Xiaohai?"
"Yesterday. He sent me a WeChat message saying that he's already at the construction site in Shanghai. He's officially starting work today. I was going to video call him tonight to ask how he's doing."
"Can I see your chat history?"
"This …" Cui Mei was a little hesitant.
"What's inconvenient?"
"Nothing much. It's just some private conversations between husband and wife."
"Don't worry. The police have confidentiality rules. I'm just doing a routine check."
"Okay." Cui Mei took out her phone from her pocket and handed it over.
Han Bin took the phone and opened the WeChat interface.
Cui Mei reminded him, "Xiaohai is the one with the husband written on it."
Han Bin clicked on it and found their chat history. Some of Cui Mei's messages were voice messages, while some were text messages. However, Zhao Xiaohai sent text messages all the time.
Han Bin asked, "Have you guys talked after Zhao Xiaohai left Qin Island?"
"No. I usually have to take care of the kids, cook, and go to work. I don't have much time to chat. Besides, we're an old couple and he doesn't like to talk to me. When he's free, he'll lie in bed and play with his phone. He doesn't even like to talk to me at home, let alone outside. "
"What's Zhao Xiaohai's phone number?"
“133474xxxx”
Han Bin said to Zhao Ming, "Contact Qianqian and locate this number."
"Yes."
Although Zhao Xiaohai had a criminal record, it was Cui Mei's first time seeing such a scene. "Captain Han, what's wrong with my husband? Can you tell me the truth? "
"Ms. Cui, trust is mutual. You didn't tell me the truth about the questions I asked just now, did you?"
Cui Mei's expression changed slightly. "I … I really don't know much about Zhao Xiaohai and I don't want to get involved."
"Why don't you want to get involved?"
"Zhao Xiaohai's temper is like his mother's. You've seen it. He's just like a normal person. When something happens, he explodes. After a few times, I'm scared and I don't want to get involved anymore. He can do whatever he wants. I'll live my life. That's all a person's life is. "
Han Bin smiled. "I'm talking to you about the case and you're talking to me about life. That's too far-fetched."
"Captain Han, how about this? I'll call Xiaohai and you can talk to him personally."
"Let's wait. It's not the time yet."
"What exactly did he do? Why don't you tell me the truth? If he does something illegal, I can help you persuade him to turn himself in. "
"You really don't know?"
"I really don't."
"You won't be able to persuade him."
"Is … is it very serious?"
"Captain Han." Just then, Zhu Jiaxu walked over and said softly, "We dug something out. You can go and take a look."
After Zhang Fangjie was asked to leave, the team members started digging. The yard was filled with holes of all sizes.
Han Bin walked to the biggest hole. It was about a meter deep and there was a striped woven bag in it. It was bulging as if it was filled with something. Beside the woven bag was a black backpack. It was similar to the one that the suspect was carrying when he was robbed.
The people from the technology department picked up the backpack and opened it. There were gloves, a hammer, and a phone inside. The hammer was obviously stained with blood.
Cui Mei wanted to go over to take a look but was stopped by a police officer. "Captain Han, why are you digging in my yard? What did you find?"
Han Bin walked over with the bag. "Do you recognize this backpack?"
Cui Mei took a look and her expression changed. She hesitated for a moment. "I don't remember?"
"You don't look like you don't remember."
"The style of these backpacks is similar."
"What about this hammer?"
Cui Mei shook her head. "I've never seen it before."
Han Bin took out his phone again. "You should have seen this before, right?"
Cui Mei's eyes widened. She reached for the phone. "This is my husband's. The phone cover is a Valentine's Day gift I gave him. Why do you have it? "
Cui Mei took another look at the blood-stained woven bag and ran towards the big hole. She stuck her head out to take a closer look. "Let me go! What's in the big hole? Why is my husband's phone here? My husband just contacted me yesterday … "
