Zhao Ming said, "This Ma Shengkai really knows how to have fun. He even sent a pigeon. Should we chase after him, Captain Han?"
Han Bin looked through the glass window at the pigeon flying further and further away. He felt a little helpless. "If you can guarantee that the pigeon will run along the road, we'll chase after him."
Zhao Ming laughed awkwardly. He really couldn't control that, so he could only sigh as he watched the pigeon.
"Captain Han, what should we do now?"
"Go back to the station and look for Song Yingfa."
Ma Shengkai's son had even used a pigeon, so he would definitely inform Ma Shengkai. Judging from Ma Shengkai's resentment towards Song Yingfa, he would definitely call Song Yingfa.
…
After returning to the police station, Han Bin immediately briefed Song Yingfa on how to answer the phone and communicate with Ma Shengkai.
In order to make it easier for Song Yingfa to answer the phone, Han Bin sent two police officers to guard outside the prison cell so that Song Yingfa could answer any calls.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as the police thought. Song Yingfa's phone didn't ring for two days.
During that period, Han Bin didn't idle around. He also used other methods to investigate Ma Shengkai's whereabouts, but he didn't find much.
That afternoon, Han Bin held another case summary meeting.
Everyone who attended the meeting was from Platoon Two. Han Bin glanced at everyone and went straight to the point. "Everyone, tell me, how can we catch Ma Shengkai?"
Zhu Jiaxu said, "I've been checking the surveillance cameras around Yangma Village for the past two days, but I haven't found any traces of Ma Shengkai. I feel that he deliberately avoided the cameras before he committed the crime. If we continue to investigate in this direction, I personally don't think it's worth much. "
"What else do the others have in mind?"
Zhao Ming said, "Captain Han, I've checked on Ma Shengkai's son. His name is Ma Yongli, and he was the one who received Song Yingfa that day. Not long after that, the pigeon was released. Judging from the current situation, it should be Ma Yongli who reported it. He might know where Ma Shengkai is hiding.
Can we secretly capture Ma Yongli like how we interrogated Song Jiapeng and make him tell us Ma Shengkai's whereabouts? "
Han Bin twirled his pen. "That's a good idea. What do you think?"
Wang Xiao thought for a moment. "This Ma Yongli's situation is different from Song Jiapeng's. I personally feel that there is a certain degree of difficulty. If the news is leaked during the arrest, Ma Shengkai will definitely run away. "
Zhu Jiaxu said, "I also think we should wait a little longer. Since we've already thrown out Song Yingfa as bait, we don't mind waiting for another two days."
Zhao Ming said instinctively, "What if Ma Shengkai doesn't bite the bait and runs away?"
Han Bin said, "This is the reason why I called you all to this meeting. Think about it, discuss every situation, and come up with a reasonable plan."
After that, Han Bin began to take the lead in the discussion, debating every situation. They didn't get off work until seven o 'clock at night …
After returning home, Han Bin opened the door. The living room was dark.
Han Bin was a little surprised because he had contacted Wang Ting before he got off work. She should be at home, so why wasn't she home?
Han Bin reached out to touch the light on the wall. Just as he was about to turn on the light, the living room lit up, as if a candle had been lit.
A familiar melody sounded.
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to you …"
Han Bin suddenly realized that it was his birthday today. He remembered it when he went out this morning, but who knew that he would forget it when he was so busy.
"Happy birthday!"
Wang Ting, Han Weidong, Wang Huifang, and Wang Qingsheng surrounded the cake, clapping and wishing Han Bin well.
Han Bin smiled. "I really would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it.
"We know that you're busy with work, so we prepared it ourselves." Wang Ting hugged Han Bin's arm and walked to the coffee table. "Make a wish."
"Okay." Han Bin made a wish and then blew out the candle.
Only then did Han Weidong turn on the light in the living room.
There was a chocolate cake in the middle of the coffee table, and there were many dishes around it, all of which were Han Bin's favorites.
Han Bin's house also had a dining room, but the dining table he bought was relatively small. It would be a little crowded if there were more people, so he ate on the coffee table in the living room.
Wang Qingsheng said, "Brother Bin, uncle bought this cake. Try it and see if it's delicious."
"There's no need to taste it. I know it's delicious just by looking at it." Han Bin swallowed his saliva. He was indeed a little hungry.
"I'll cut the cake." Wang Ting picked up a plastic knife, cut a big piece, and handed it to Han Bin.
Then she cut three pieces and handed them to Han Weidong, Wang Huifang, and Wang Qingsheng. She only cut a small piece for herself. Butter was a type of trans fatty acid, so she rarely ate it, let alone at night.
Han Bin took a big bite of the cake. The cake was very delicate. It was his favorite chocolate red bean cake. There was also a layer of chopped walnuts in the middle of the cake, which had a special flavor.
"Thank you, uncle. When it comes to eating, you know me the best."
Wang Qingsheng patted Han Bin's shoulder. "Of course. It's because we have the same taste."
Rather than saying that they had the same taste, it would be more accurate to say that Han Bin's taste was cultivated by Wang Qingsheng. When it came to eating, they were of the same origin.
Han Weidong smiled and said, "Such a good day, we have to drink."
Wang Huifang glanced at him. "You only know how to drink. Our son is so busy with work, and he has a case on hand. How can he drink?
"Yes, yes, he definitely can't drink. But we can drink less. I'm happy for our son's birthday. It's better to drink a little."
Han Bin didn't want to spoil the mood, so he smiled and said, "My dad is right. You guys drink some wine. I'll drink with you guys."
Wang Ting said, "My dad knows that it's Han Bin's birthday, so he specially asked me to bring a bottle of wine. We can drink today."
Han Bin was touched. "When I'm done with this case, I'll definitely play a few games of chess with Uncle."
Han Weidong said, "It's not enough to just play chess. You're good at cooking too. Cook a few dishes and let Wang Ting's parents have a taste."
"No problem."
Wang Qingsheng said, "Wang Ting, I brought wine today. You can keep that bottle of wine. Since your dad gave it to Han Bin, you guys can drink it another day. He can't drink today, so don't let your dad down. "
Wang Ting smiled and said, "If he doesn't drink, we'll drink. We're celebrating his birthday anyway. I've completed my task, and the wine has been put to good use. "
Wang Ting ignored everyone's objections and insisted on opening the bottle. Other than Han Bin, everyone had a full glass.
The birthday party officially began.
Han Weidong raised his glass and suggested, "Come, let's have a glass to thank Wang Ting's father for the wine. Enjoy it and savor it slowly."
Han Bin was a little envious. He raised his glass and took a sip of pineapple beer.
Han Weidong drank a glass of wine and was full of praise. "Good wine. This wine has been around for a long time. It's old and has been preserved well."
Han Bin smiled and said, "Uncle Wang has a small wine cabinet at home, and there's another in the small room downstairs. He has as much wine as you do."
"That's good. Let's arrange a time to sit down and have a good chat and a few drinks."
Wang Huifang said, "I think the last sentence is the main point."
Everyone roared with laughter.
Wang Qingsheng looked at Han Bin. "Brother Bin, it's your birthday today. Say a few words."
Han Bin did not want to say anything at first, but seeing everyone looking at him, he felt that it would be inappropriate not to say a few words. "First of all, I want to thank everyone for helping me prepare this birthday party when I forgot about it. You're all very considerate.
Every birthday means that I've grown a year older. To be honest, I feel a little pressured.
I also hope that in the new year, I can spend more time with my family outside of work. "
Then, Han Bin raised his pineapple beer. "Come, let me give everyone a toast."
"Come, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
There were no outsiders at the birthday party this time. The whole family gathered together, except for Han Bin's grandfather.
Originally, Han Weidong had thought of bringing the old man over to stay for a few days to liven things up. However, he felt that there was no reason for a grandfather to celebrate his grandson's birthday.
In the end, he gave up. It would be better to wait for Han Bin to rest before bringing the old man over to liven things up.
…
The next morning.
Han Bin had just arrived at his office when there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock …"
"Come in."
Huang Qianqian walked in. "Captain Han, you're here."
"What's the matter?"
"Zhao Ming is checking the surveillance and seems to have found some clues. He would like to invite you over to take a look."
"Let's go."
Han Bin put down his teacup and followed Huang Qianqian to Team One's office. Once he entered the office, he felt that something was wrong.
"Bam! Bam! "Zhao Ming and Jiang Yang stood on either side of the door and each set off a firework.
Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you guys doing?"
“Surprise！”
"Captain Han, happy birthday."
"Happy birthday!"
…
It wasn't just Team One. Team Two was in the office as well.
This surprise really surprised Han Bin.
Actually, he didn't really like surprises but he couldn't say anything. After all, it was a gesture of goodwill from his team members.
"Captain Han, this is a gift from all of us." Huang Qianqian handed an exquisite handbag to Han Bin.
Han Bin waved his hand. "I appreciate the gesture but you can't accept the gift."
Wang Xiao said, "We've already bought the gift. Please accept it."
Zhu Jiaxu said, "Captain Han, see if you like it first."
"Yeah, Captain Han, take a look first."
"Captain Han, this is a gesture of goodwill from all of us. Please accept it."
Seeing that his team members were making a ruckus, Han Bin didn't want to spoil everyone's mood. He opened the handbag and the gift box. It was a beautiful black belt. The workmanship was exquisite and the leather was very soft. It was a branded belt.
"This belt isn't cheap, right?"
Zhao Ming didn't think much of it. "Captain Han, there are so many of us. Even if everyone pooled some, it wouldn't be much."
Han Bin hesitated for a moment. If he didn't accept it, he would be letting everyone down. If he accepted it, it wouldn't reflect well. Moreover, Han Bin didn't want it to become a tradition. It might not be a big deal once but birthdays happened every year. Han Bin didn't want to put pressure on everyone.
"I feel everyone's goodwill. I'll accept the gift. I like it very much too. Thank you, everyone. " After Han Bin said that, he changed the topic. "However, this won't happen again. I won't accept gifts in the future.
I won't give the money to buy the belt to everyone. How about this, after the case is over, I'll treat everyone to a meal. There'll be good wine and meat! "
After hearing what Han Bin said, everyone didn't know how to respond. There was a moment of silence.
Han Bin said in a relaxed tone, "However, there's something I'm a little puzzled about. I celebrated my birthday yesterday. Why did you guys do this today?"
