The next morning.
In the conference room of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit.
Han Bin was sitting in the main seat. When he saw that everyone from Squadron Two had arrived, he said, "Get ready, the meeting is starting."
Everyone stopped whispering, sat up straight, and looked in Han Bin's direction.
Han Bin habitually twirled his pen. "I won't call names. You can tell me if you have any new developments in the investigation."
Zhu Jiaxu said, "I brought some people to search Song Hongmian's house and found a lot of Chen Zihe's belongings, including cod liver oil. According to Song Hongmian, she bought the cod liver oil because her son often worked night shifts. Eating cod liver oil could play a preventive role.
According to Song Hongmian, the cod liver oil was bought from a nearby pharmacy called Qin Pharmacy. I have sent the cod liver oil to the technical department for testing. "
Wang Xiao continued, "We went to Chen Zihe and Ma Xiaolin's house to search and found cod liver oil. We also found half a box of cod liver oil. It is likely that Chen Zihe was taking it when he was alive. I also sent the cod liver oil to the technical department for testing.
And according to Ma Xiaolin, Chen Zihe ate cod liver oil every day for the past two years. "
Han Bin said, "If Chen Zihe was really poisoned by cod liver oil, then Song Hongmian's suspicion will be greatly increased. Are there any other clues about Song Hongmian?"
"Yes." He Yingsheng replied, "I went to the insurance company to check Chen Zihe's personal accident insurance. The beneficiary is not Ma Xiaolin, but Song Hongmian.
Once Chen Zihe is dead, Song Hongmian can get compensation. "
Feng Na said, "They are mother and son. I don't think Song Hongmian would be so cruel as to poison her own son to get compensation."
Zhu Jiaxu said, "Nothing is absolute. Based on the existing evidence, it is indeed possible."
Han Bin said, "Have you found out Chen Zihe's whereabouts at noon on May 4th?"
Zhang Shungu said, "Yes. At noon that day, he went to Fengya Road and met a man in his thirties. Then, the two went to the Laojiao Sliced Noodles Restaurant for lunch.
I compared the man's face to the screenshots of the surveillance footage. He's Chen Zihe's friend, Ma Baoyan. "
Zhu Jiaxu said, "Chen Zihe obviously went to eat with Ma Baoyan. Why would he lie?"
Li Qin said, "It could also be that Song Hongmian is lying."
Han Bin pondered for a moment. "Both of them need to be investigated further. You'll be in charge of investigating Song Hongmian. I'll bring some people to contact Ma Baoyan."
…
Fengya Road.
It was Old Tang's morning drink.
The shop was not big. There were a few tables in the room and two tables at the entrance.
It was only ten o 'clock in the morning, but the restaurant was already full of people. There were a few dishes on the table, and the customers were sitting at the table, talking and laughing, drinking wine, and enjoying themselves.
A man in his thirties was sitting at a table near the entrance. There was a pot of wine and four side dishes on the table: cucumber with garlic sauce, peanuts, soy sauce beef, and mutton giblets soup. Eating a mouthful of the dishes and drinking a mouthful of wine was very comfortable.
A young man walked to the table and sized him up. "Brother, drinking so early?"
"It's none of your business. Do you know what a morning drink is? Go away. "
This young man was Han Bin. He was not annoyed and sat opposite the drinking man. "Brother, how should I address you?"
"What the f * ck are you doing? Spit it out if you have something to say. "
Han Bin smiled. "I just thought you looked familiar. Do you know someone called Chen Zihe?"
"Zihe, I know him. He's my brother."
"See, what did I say? No wonder I thought you looked familiar. I'm also Zihe's brother. We even drank together in the past."
"Aiyo, then I can't be sure." The man sized up Han Bin again, but still could not recall his identity. However, there were too many "so-called friends" that he had drunk with and sung karaoke with. It was normal that he could not recognize him.
Since the other party knew Chen Zihe, it was not far off.
"Since we're friends, come, let's drink together." The man poured a glass of wine for Han Bin.
Han Bin was not in a hurry to drink. He pretended to think and said, "I remember Zihe called you Dragon Bao."
"Yes, that's me."
"Brother, what's your name?"
"Just call me Old Han."
"Haha, you look younger than me. Aren't you afraid of being called old?"
"Men, age is also a kind of qualification. Men are forty-one flowers. I'm still a bud. It's good that I'm blooming early."
"That's true. Men are only called men if they have experience. If they don't, they're called boys, right?"
"That's right." Han Bin replied and asked, "Dragon Bao, have you seen Chen Zihe recently?"
"Yes, we had lunch together the day before yesterday."
"I haven't seen him for a while. How's he doing?"
"Still the same. He's a security guard at a bar. Anyway, he has two women to support him."
"Why is he looking for you?"
"You're looking for me …" Dragon Bao was about to say but felt something was wrong. "How do you know he's looking for me?"
"It's just a casual question."
Dragon Bao rolled his eyes. "Let's not talk about him. Cheers."
Dragon Bao raised his glass.
Han Bin also raised his glass and drank with him.
"Brother, where are you working? When did we drink? I really can't remember. "Ma Baoyan looked at Han Bin carefully.
Han Bin also noticed that the other party was on guard. He stopped pretending and showed his police badge. "I'm from the Public Security Bureau."
Ma Baoyan was startled and instinctively wanted to stand up.
However, two men appeared next to him out of nowhere. They put their hands on his shoulders and pressed him down on the table.
Han Bin tapped the police badge on the table with his finger. "Do you recognize this?"
"Yes, I do."
"What's your name?"
"Long Bao."
"What's your name?"
"Ma Baoyan."
"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know or you don't want to say? Since I'm looking for you, that means I have sufficient evidence. I don't have time to beat around the bush with you."
"Leader, I'm telling the truth. I really don't know. Also, I've been very obedient recently and didn't do anything illegal."
"The day before yesterday, you had lunch with Chen Zihe?"
"Yes."
"What time did you eat?"
"Around 1 pm. We ate until 2 pm."
"What did you guys talk about?"
"We drank some alcohol. That means some messy stuff."
"I like to listen to these messy stuff. Tell me about it."
"Sigh. It's just some family gossip. His mother and wife quarreled again. Both of them don't like each other. Chen Zihe also feels uncomfortable being stuck in the middle. He even said that he envies me for being single. My mother doesn't care about me and I have more freedom.
I thought to myself, 'He doesn't know how lucky he is. His mother and wife are very good to him. As long as he asks, they will give him money. It's the same as having two women supporting him. It's a good thing.' If I had such a mother and wife, I'd be so happy. "
Zhao Ming laughed. "You don't have high expectations."
"Hehe. Leader, I'm a practical person. I don't have any big dreams. I'm just a monk striking the bell every day."
Han Bin said, "Which one of you is treating?"
"He invited me out for lunch. Of course, it's his treat."
"He invited you to dinner just to gossip? Is there no other purpose?"
"That's not it. He knows I have a lot of friends and a lot of connections. He wants me to help him get a dog."
"What dog?"
"He wants me to help him get a puppy. It should be small and cute. For example, a Scherzner, a Pomeranian, or a British Dou. He even said that he would treat me to a seafood buffet after he gets a dog. "
"What does he want a dog for?"
"He wants it for his wife. Chen Zihe doesn't like dogs. His mother doesn't like dogs either. However, Chen Zihe's wife likes dogs. The reason Chen Zihe met his wife was because of dogs. It can be said that no discord, no concord." Speaking of this, Ma Baoyan's hands trembled. "Leader, I'm addicted to alcohol. Can I have a sip?"
"Don't drink too much. I don't want to bring you back to the police station to sober up."
"Yes, yes. I'm a drunkard. The more I drink, the more energetic I become. Don't worry. I won't delay your business." Ma Baoyan raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. "Comfortable."
"Chen Zihe wants a dog for you to give to his wife."
"Yes. Chen Zihe's wife had a toy poodle. It died some time ago. I heard that she was very sad. She cried her eyes out. She was even sadder than when her mother died. I don't mean to belittle her. These are Chen Zihe's exact words. " Speaking of this, Ma Baoyan couldn't help but laugh. "Hehe, this woman is a weirdo. She buried the dog when it died. She wants to build a cemetery for the dog."
Han Bin raised his eyebrows. "What kind of cemetery?"
"A proper cemetery. I heard from Chen Zihe that his wife has been looking for a cemetery these few days. She wants to bury the dog in the cemetery. That way, there will be maintenance and it will be convenient for people to worship."
Zhao Ming said, "Aren't cemeteries for people? How can they bury dogs? "
"That's why this woman is so mean. Cemeteries are usually used for burying dead people, but she insisted on burying a dead dog. I heard that she even wanted to bury the dog in her mother's name. If her mother found out about this, she would be so angry that she would die. Who would curse their own mother like that?"
Han Bin said, "Chen Zihe's wife is doing such a ridiculous thing. Does Chen Zihe not care about it?"
"In Chen Zihe's words, he can care about his wife's business except his wife's dog. When it comes to dogs, his wife won't budge an inch and he has already given up. His wife's dog died, and he was so happy that he even specially treated us to a meal. "
Ma Baoyan thought for a moment. "The dog died on the 27th of April. He treated us to a meal on the 30th of April."
"What happened that night?"
"Nothing much."
Han Bin looked at him meaningfully. "Think carefully before you tell me."
"Oh, I remember now. Chen Zihe and I drank quite a lot, and we started arguing."
"Did they fight?"
"How should I put it? We were just good buddies playing around. If you hit me twice, I'll kick you twice. It's normal. It's not considered a fight. It's just pure fun. We have a good relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to help him find the dog. "
"Who else knows that he asked you to help him find the dog when the two of you were eating together?"
"No one else. I'm the only one who knows. He even told me not to leak it and said that he wanted to give his wife a surprise."
"Chen Zihe doesn't like his wife to have a dog, right? Why did he give his wife a dog? "
"He …" Ma Baoyan rolled his eyes and lowered his head. "I'm not sure either."
"Not sure, or he doesn't want to say."
"Officer, even if we're good friends, he can't tell me everything. Why don't you ask him directly?"
"Chen Zihe is dead."
"Ah! What did you say? "Ma Baoyan thought he heard wrong.
"Chen Zihe is dead."
"Whoosh …" Ma Baoyan suddenly stood up.
"Sit down." Zhao Ming and Jiang Yang took him down again.
Ma Baoyan's actions earlier had attracted the attention of the other diners.
Han Bin stood up. "Let's talk somewhere else. It's not convenient here."
"Boss, let's talk here. I don't feel well at the police station."
"Cut the crap. Get in the car." Han Bin ignored him and got into the car.
Then, Ma Baoyan was pushed into the car as well. He placed his hands on his thighs, looking a little reserved. "Boss, how did Chen Zihe die? Although that kid wasn't a good person, he didn't commit any major crimes. How did he suddenly die? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Han Bin took out a photo of Chen Zihe. "Take a look for yourself."
Ma Baoyan's hands were trembling as he took the photo. "Brother, you … how did you die? Two days ago, when we were eating together, you were talking about going to Japan to buy cubes when you have money. How did you die … "
Ma Baoyan's eyes were red, as if he couldn't accept it. "Boss, how did my brother die?"
"He was poisoned to death by someone."
"Poisoned? What kind of poison? "
"The case is still under investigation. We're here to find out more about the situation and find out who killed him as soon as possible."
"Sigh … Since he's dead, I have nothing to worry about. Ask away."
Han Bin repeated his question. "From your description, Chen Zihe doesn't like dogs. Why did he give his wife a dog? "
"He doesn't like dogs, but his wife does."
"Did he do it to please his wife?"
"No. From what I know of him, he's not that kind of person."
"Then why?"
"Chen Zihe and his wife have a complicated relationship. Actually, when they first met, his wife didn't like him and didn't want to be with him. Later on, Chen Zihe took advantage of his wife's weakness, and his wife agreed to be with him."
"What weakness?"
"Dog."
"Dog?"
"Yes. Chen Zihe's wife loves dogs very much. She treats them like her own sons. Chen Zihe used the dog to threaten his wife. If she doesn't get along with him, he'll kill the dog and eat its meat. His wife was scared and got together with Chen Zihe. She managed to keep the dog.
Didn't the dog die a while ago? Chen Zihe was quite happy at first because he felt that his wife treated the dog better than him and was very jealous. He was secretly happy that the dog was dead.
But after two days of happiness, the sequelae came. The dog died, and his wife wasn't afraid of him anymore. She was already showing signs of breaking up with him.
He thought to himself that this wouldn't do. He couldn't let a woman ride on his head. But beating and scolding wouldn't work, so he thought of getting another dog for his wife to raise.
With love, there will be something holding her back, and it will be another weakness. "
