Han Bin had been observing him. His expression didn't look like he was lying, especially when he heard that Chen Zihe was dead. His surprised expression wasn't fake.
"Did Chen Zihe say where he was going when you talked to him on the phone that afternoon?"
"No."
"Did he encounter any difficulties or offend anyone recently?"
"I don't know. He didn't tell me."
"Do you know Ma Xiaolin?"
"Yes, Chen Zihe's wife."
"Wife? They're married? "
"Yeah, they got married last year."
"Did you attend the wedding?"
"They didn't have a wedding. They just invited a few of our good buddies to a meal to witness their marriage."
"Did they get their marriage certificate?"
"I don't know about that, but they probably did. They've been together as husband and wife since the beginning."
"Previously, you said you wanted to borrow money from Chen Zihe. How do you know that he has money or assets under his name?"
"I don't know what assets he has, but he has never lacked money. He was very generous when we went out together. "Xu Youbin licked his dry lips." Officer Han, how did Chen Zihe die? "
"It's better if you don't know."
"Yes, yes, you're right. Thank you for reminding me."
"Let's call it a day. Don't leave Qin Island for the time being, understand?"
"Yes, sir. I'll listen to you. I've already turned over a new leaf. If there's anything, just let me know. I'll rush over as soon as you call me. "
Han Bin was very satisfied with his attitude. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Contact us if you think of any clues. Go ahead."
"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Xu Youbin bowed to Han Bin, then to the rest of the police officers, and then carefully left the office.
Zhao Ming took out a cigarette and took a puff. "This guy is quite interesting."
Li Qin snorted. "That's in front of you. He might be arrogant in front of ordinary people. This kind of person should be taught a lesson. If he behaves with his tail between his legs, ordinary people will live a comfortable life. "
Zhao Ming puffed out a mouthful of smoke. "But then again, what did Chen Zihe do at noon yesterday? Why did you hide your whereabouts from your family? "
Li Qin asked, "Maybe Xu Youbin is lying."
Zhao Ming looked at Han Bin and asked, "Captain Han, what do you think?"
"First of all, Song Hongmian and Ma Xiaolin's statements are the same. They both said that Chen Zihe had lunch with his friends at noon. From the looks of it, the problem shouldn't be with them, which means that either Xu Youbin or Chen Zihe is lying. Based on Xu Youbin's statement, I don't think he's lying, so it's very likely that Chen Zihe is lying." Han Bin leaned back in his chair and changed into a more comfortable position.
"Since he lied, it means that what he wanted to do is very important, and it might be related to the cause of his death."
Li Qin thought for a moment. "Actually … I think there's another person who might be lying."
"Who?"
"Song Hongmian."
Zhao Ming said, "How could Song Hongmian lie? Ma Xiaolin also heard from Chen Zihe that he had lunch with his friends at noon. Could Ma Xiaolin and Song Hongmian be in cahoots?"
"No, I didn't say that they were in cahoots. Think about it carefully. Ma Xiaolin only knew that Chen Zihe had lunch with his friends, but she didn't know who he was with. Song Hongmian always felt that Ma Xiaolin wasn't considerate enough and didn't care about her son. She might have guessed that Ma Xiaolin didn't know who Chen Zihe had lunch with.
Chen Zihe had more than one friend, Xu Youbin.
And it was Song Hongmian who led the investigation to Xu Youbin. Let's say that the person who had lunch with Chen Zihe wasn't Xu Youbin, but Ma Baoyan. If we ask Xu Youbin, he definitely doesn't know about Chen Zihe's situation, so it's possible that Song Hongmian is lying. "
Li Qin added, "Of course, I don't have any basis for what I said. It's just a speculation."
"Sister Li's analysis is correct. From the current situation, it's possible that Chen Zihe, Xu Youbin, and Song Hongmian are all lying. If Song Hongmian and Xu Youbin are lying, then they're most likely the real culprits of the poisoning case. If Chen Zihe is lying, then it means that there's more to the poisoning case that we don't know. " Han Bin concluded that the most important thing now was to find out Chen Zihe's whereabouts yesterday, who he had seen, and where he might have been poisoned.
Han Bin rearranged the police force and sent out his team members.
…
Seven o 'clock in the evening, at the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Han Bin yawned and sat in the driver's seat.
"Ka …" The door to the passenger seat opened, and Huang Qianqian sat in the car.
"What's wrong? You didn't drive today?"
"My cousin said she made hotpot at home and asked me to go to your house for dinner. Didn't you know?"
"I know about hotpot. She asked you to go too."
Huang Qianqian pursed her lips. "What's with that expression? It's not that I want to freeload today, it's your girlfriend who asked me to go. Sigh … I'd rather starve for a night than eat a Hongmen Banquet."
Han Bin laughed. "Hehe, I understand. It's fine if you hide it from others, but you hide it from me as well. That's a little unreasonable."
"Sigh, it's not that I want to hide it from you. I just don't want to put you in a difficult position. Think about it. If I tell you, will you tell my cousin? If you tell her, you'll be a traitor. If you don't tell her, she won't be as good as you if she finds out. I just don't want you to be the bad guy. "
"That's true. You still have a conscience, little girl."
"That's right. Brother-in-law, we work together every day. This united front has to be solid. You'll have to protect me during critical moments."
Han Bin laughed. "It's not a big deal. Do you have to be like this?"
"Sigh, I'm a girl after all. I'll definitely be shy when I encounter something like this."
"So … what do you want me to do?"
"Help me put in a good word for me."
"What good words? You and Zhao Ming are unmarried. It's neither illegal nor immoral. Your cousin won't do anything to you. At most, she'll ask about your situation. "
"I know my cousin won't do anything to me. I'm just afraid that she'll tell my parents about us. Sigh … I'll be in trouble then."
"I understand. I'll try my best to persuade your cousin not to tell anyone about your relationship. As for whether she listens or not, it's not up to me."
"Okay, okay. My cousin listens to you the most. As long as you say it, she'll definitely listen."
When Han Bin and Su Qianci returned home, Wang Ting had already prepared the ingredients for the shabu-shabu. There were vegetables, seafood, meat, mushrooms, and so on. The table was filled to the brim.
"You're back. Go wash your hands. I'll put in the base."
Huang Qianqian walked over and said in surprise, "Cousin, you're amazing. You prepared so many ingredients by yourself."
"You work so hard. Of course, you have to prepare more delicious food."
"What's so hard about work? It's you who cooks."
Wang Ting didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Little bootlicker, go wash your hands."
Huang Qianqian showed her canine teeth and chuckled.
Not long after, the three of them sat around the dining table. The hotpot was a mandarin duck hotpot. One was curry and the other was spicy.
Han Bin picked up the mutton box and put the meat into the shabu-shabu. Half of the box went down.
Han Bin stirred it with the serving chopsticks. It could be eaten after a few rolls. It wouldn't taste good if it was too old.
Seeing that the mutton was almost done, Han Bin picked up a chopstick and put it in Wang Ting's bowl. "Tingting, you've worked hard. I'll do the dishes after dinner."
Huang Qianqian volunteered. "No, no. I'll do the dishes. I love doing the dishes."
Wang Ting took a bite of the mutton and smiled. "When did you have this hobby? I didn't know about it before."
"Hehe. I'm afraid I'll get fat if I eat too much at night. Exercise is good."
Han Bin said, "Scoop out the meat. I'll do the rest."
After everyone ate for a while, Wang Ting got to the point. "Qianqian, what's your relationship with Zhao Ming?"
"What relationship? We're just colleagues."
"Do you often eat alone with your male colleagues?"
"Isn't that a coincidence?"
"Wow, it's only been a day and you're not admitting it." Wang Ting picked up her phone and opened it. "I took a picture that day. I'll send it to my aunt. I wonder if she'll believe it."
"Don't, don't. Cousin, I was wrong. Please don't do it. If my mom finds out, she'll be annoyed to death. She'll even get to the bottom of it and find out everything about the Zhao Family."
"Then tell me yourself. What's your relationship with Zhao Ming?"
"We're friends."
"What friends?"
"Aiya, you know."
"I don't know." Wang Ting picked up her phone from the table.
Huang Qianqian quickly said, "We were on a date that day, but we haven't confirmed our relationship yet."
"Why are you with Zhao Ming?"
"He's not my long lost brother. Why can't I be with him? "
"Pfft …" Han Bin couldn't help but laugh. This girl was too talented.
"I didn't mean that. Didn't Bao Xing chase you before? Why are you with Zhao Ming? "
"Bao Xing did chase me before. I can see that he really likes me, but liking is mutual. It can't be forced. I really don't have any feelings for him. As for Zhao Ming … we work together and interact more. We have a good impression of each other and naturally got together. "Huang Qianqian pursed her lips and sighed.
"This is our first official date. Who knew we would bump into each other so coincidentally. It's really … embarrassing."
"First time? It's the first time we've seen it. As long as we don't see it, it's always the first time. "
"Aiya, cousin, I'm not that calculative. I'm telling the truth. I really just met Zhao Ming."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course."
"Who else knows about this?"
"Only you and brother-in-law."
"When are you going to tell Auntie?"
"Cousin, please don't tell my mom." Huang Qianqian looked alert and looked at Wang Ting pitifully. "Zhao Ming and I have just started dating. We're at the stage of getting to know each other. If my mom comes out now, it will definitely affect our relationship. I don't know how to face it. Give us some time and let us spend more time together. When the time is right, I'll tell my mom personally. "
Wang Ting said, "I know what you're thinking and I can understand. But you and Han Bin work together and see each other all the time. It would be fine if you found a boyfriend outside, but you just had to find a colleague. When your relationship is made public and Auntie asks, do you think she'll believe me if I say I don't know? "
"Cousin, just help me." Huang Qianqian pulled Wang Ting's arm and said coquettishly.
"If I help you, who's going to help me? Auntie has already told me to take care of you, especially when it comes to finding a partner. "
Huang Qianqian looked at Han Bin, her face full of pleading.
"It's cooked, it's cooked." Han Bin pretended not to see it and picked up a piece of shrimp paste for Wang Ting. He said, "This is indeed a bit difficult to handle, but it's not like there's no solution."
"Brother-in-law, what solution do you have? Tell me quickly."
"It's actually very simple. You and Zhao Ming have just started dating, so it's right to get to know each other privately. It's indeed not convenient for parents to interfere too much at this stage. When your relationship with Zhao Ming is more stable and you think it's okay to tell your parents, don't. Let your cousin talk to him. That way, you won't feel embarrassed and your cousin can explain. "
Huang Qianqian clapped her hands. "This is a good idea. Brother-in-law is still the best. Cousin, what do you think? "
"I'll think about it," Wang Ting said lightly, putting on a look that said, "I'm waiting to see your performance."
