"Are you sure?"
"No, I only heard him mention it." Song Hongmian's voice was choked. "I was a little unhappy at the time. I thought to myself, you're talking about death at such a young age. Where do you put me as your mother?"
"Do you know which insurance company it was?"
"I think it was called People Insurance, Ping An, Da Di? I can't remember. " Song Hongmian slapped her head hard. "Why am I so stupid? I can't even remember this. I'm so stupid, so stupid …"
Han Bin said, "Ms. Song, you don't have to blame yourself. I'll send someone to the insurance company to investigate."
"Captain Han, thank you. You're such a responsible police officer."
"It's my duty. Ms. Song, let's call it a day. I'll send someone to send you home later and collect some of Chen Zihe's belongings. "
"Sure, but before I leave … I want to see my son."
Han Bin nodded. "No problem. Sister Li, take Ms. Song to the forensic department."
"Okay."
After Song Hongmian left, Han Bin went to Team Two's office.
Team Two greeted him, "Captain Han."
Han Bin waved his hand. "Do your thing."
Zhu Jiaxu quickly got up. "Captain Han, please sit."
"How's the investigation on Chen Zihe's whereabouts?"
"According to the clues you provided, we've been tracking Chen Zihe's whereabouts. It's just that we need to keep collecting surveillance footage along the way, which takes a lot of time."
"Are there any team members near Song Hongmian's house?"
"Yes."
"Drive Song Hongmian home later and bring the team to search for Chen Zihe's belongings."
"Okay."
"The focus of the search is on the cod liver oil and Chen Zihe's personal accident insurance."
"Chen Zihe was insured?"
"According to Song Hongmian, the beneficiary is likely Ma Xiaolin."
Zhu Jiaxu laughed. "This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really love each other."
Han Bin said, "A son is the link of a family. The loss of others will add to the family's regret, but it won't hurt the family. Without a son, the link is broken. One family will become two or even more. "
Zhu Jiaxu said, "That's right. Usually, poisoning cases are committed by acquaintances. If we investigate, we'll definitely find a lot of scheming."
"Song Hongmian went to the forensics department. She'll probably be out soon. You should pack up and go."
"Yes."
…
After returning to Team One's office, Zhao Ming reported, "Captain Han, we've contacted Xu Youbin. He's on his way to the Municipal Bureau."
The first team was in charge of investigating Chen Zihe's contacts, and there was a record of Da Wo Zi's phone number.
"Did they call each other yesterday?" According to Song Hongmian and Ma Xiaolin, they had dinner with Chen Zihe at Da Wo Zi yesterday, so they would definitely contact each other before the meal.
"Yes. At noon on the 4th of May, the two of them were in contact. Xu Youbin took the initiative to call Chen Zihe. " As he spoke, Zhao Ming placed two documents in front of Han Bin. "According to our investigation, both Xu Youbin and Chen Zihe have criminal records. Xu Youbin was punished for brawling, and Chen Zihe was punished for causing trouble."
Han Bin was not surprised. Chen Zihe worked as a security guard at a bar. Places like bars were more chaotic, and security guards there had more or less muddled experiences.
…
At three in the afternoon, Xu Youbin from Da Wo Zi arrived at the Municipal Bureau.
The moment Xu Youbin entered the office, he gave an opening speech. "Hello, leaders. I'm Xu Youbin from Da Wo Zi."
"You're quite familiar with this place. It seems like you've been here quite often."
"No, no. I've only been to the police station a few times. It's my first time in the Municipal Bureau. I'm honored. Leaders, please have a smoke. "Xu Youbin took out a pack of cigarettes and gave it to Han Bin and the others.
Han Bin waved his hand. "You're welcome. We invited you here today because we want to know more about Chen Zihe."
"Zihe? What happened to him?"
"When was the last time you guys met?"
"A few days ago, I think."
"You didn't meet yesterday?"
"No, not at all."
"When was the last time we contacted each other?"
"Yesterday afternoon. I called him."
"Why are you looking for him?"
"I'm a little short on cash recently. I want to borrow some money from him."
"Borrow money?"
"Yes."
"Did he agree?"
"He said that he bought some stocks recently and is holding on to them. Once he sells them, he'll lend it to me. Of course, I'm not stupid. These days, brothers can't be relied on anymore. It's just a superficial relationship. Sigh. "
"The two of you didn't have lunch together?"
"No."
"Then do you know who he had lunch with?"
"I didn't ask. I called him to borrow money. Since he said that, how am I supposed to talk to him?" Xu Youbin sighed. "These two years, I've been unlucky. I can't do anything but lose money.
Sigh, it's also my fault. When I was young, I didn't know any better. I always thought that I was a good friend and did some things that were out of line. Now, I have a stain on my reputation. Now, the better companies don't dare to hire me. Small companies are unreliable. I'm not doing well. "
"Do you have much contact with Chen Zihe?"
"Quite a lot. We all hang out together. "
"Who else is there besides the two of you?"
"Yuan Zai, Lei Zi, Long Bao, and Er Mao Zi."
"Which one of you is closer to Chen Zihe?"
"Long Bao. His real name is Ma Baoyan. He and Chen Zihe were junior high school classmates. The two of them have known each other for more than ten years. They are closer than the rest of us."
Han Bin changed the topic. "On April 30th, did you see Chen Zihe?"
"What day of the week was that …" Xu Youbin thought about it and said, "Oh, I think we had dinner together that night."
"What kind of dinner did you have? Where did you eat?"
"Old Yang's kebabs. It was on Qingshen Street."
"Whose treat? Who was there for dinner?"
"I think it was Chen Zihe's treat. There was me, Ma Baoyan, and Yuan Zai."
"What's Yuan Zai's real name?"
"Zhao Xinan."
"Did you guys have any conflict during dinner?"
"Yes, there was. Chen Zihe and Ma Baoyan had a few words and they even fought. I tried to stop them."
"Why did they fight?"
"It's nothing much. They just drank a little and got a little drunk. After a few words, they said they couldn't deal with each other, so they started fighting."
Zhao Ming said, "Didn't you just say that Ma Baoyan and Chen Zihe have the best relationship?"
"Yes, the two of them have a good relationship, but both of them have bad tempers. They won't give in to each other. However, don't worry about it. It's fine after that. In their own words, the friendship between the two of them was forged through fighting. "
"What's the relationship between Chen Zihe and his mother?"
"It's quite complicated. If you say that they are not on good terms, he sometimes cares about his mother. When the old lady has a headache and fever, he also worries about her. But sometimes, he and the old lady don't get along. They often quarrel. He really blames his mother. "
"Why?"
"It's mainly related to his father."
"What happened to his father?"
"When he was in his teens, his mother divorced his father. Not long after the divorce, his mother fell in love with another man. His father was so angry that he went abroad to work. After that, there was no news of him. Some people said that his father got married, while others said that he died. Anyway, Chen Zihe never saw his father after that.
Because of this, Chen Zihe became more rebellious and often quarreled with his mother. His stepfather also often beat him. After a few years, Chen Zihe grew up and the two switched places. It was Chen Zihe who beat his stepfather. As Chen Zihe grew stronger, his stepfather got older and older. In less than two years, the old man was beaten away. "Xu Youbin couldn't help but laugh.
"Chen Zihe was also a bad boy. In order to get rid of his stepfather, he came up with all sorts of tricks. One time, we went out to play, and his stepfather happened to be drinking. Chen Zihe, the bad boy, was waiting on the way home. When his stepfather came back drunk, he grabbed his stepfather's head from behind. We beat his stepfather up. The old man was badly beaten. I heard that he had to recuperate for a week before he could get out of bed.
Not long after that fight, his stepfather divorced his mother. "
Xu Youbin was talking about Chen Zihe's experiences when he was young. It was very important to understand Chen Zihe's past and personality.
Xu Youbin was still confused when he was questioned by the police. He took the opportunity to ask, "Sir, how should I address you?"
"My surname is Han."
"Officer Han, what happened to Chen Zihe? How is it able to alarm the big shots of the Municipal Bureau? "
"Aren't you good friends with him? Based on your understanding of him, what do you think happened to him? "
"Sigh, if we were really good friends, he wouldn't have lent me money. At most, we're just a bunch of scoundrels."
"Whether we're close friends or scoundrels, you've known each other for so many years. You should know him better than the police."
"He's definitely not a good person, but it's hard to say how bad he is. Maybe it has something to do with his family upbringing. He learned to read people's expressions very early on. He's very good at reading people's expressions. To put it bluntly, he bullies the weak and fears the strong. If you're powerful, he'll stay away from you. If you're easy to bully, then you'll definitely be in his hands. "
"You said you didn't have lunch with Chen Zihe yesterday?"
"Yes."
"According to Chen Zihe, he had lunch with you."
"He must be lying. But, what's wrong with us having lunch together? What did he do? "
"He didn't do anything wrong."
"No way. If he didn't do anything wrong, then why are you asking me about him?"
"He's dead."
"What! Dead?! " Xu Youbin's eyes widened. He stood up abruptly and said in disbelief, "You're not joking, right? We just called him yesterday. He was still fine."
"That's why we're looking for you."
Xu Youbin reacted. "Officer Han, this has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill him."
"Where were you between 12: 30 p.m. and 2: 30 p.m. yesterday? Who were you with? "
"I was on holiday. My wife and kids were at home. I was with them. Didn't you go anywhere?"
"You're not lying?"
Xu Youbin raised three fingers and said solemnly, "I swear to God, absolutely not!"
