The Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit, Han Bin's office.
Han Bin had just arrived at the office. He tidied up the table and was about to pour himself a cup of coffee.
"Knock knock …" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Creak …" The door opened and Bao Xing walked in. "Captain Han."
Han Bin was pleasantly surprised. "Bao Xing, why are you back?"
"How is it? Are you surprised? "
"Have a seat." Han Bin gestured for Bao Xing to sit down and took out a teapot to make tea.
"Captain Han, don't bother. I'm here on a mission. I'll leave after I have a few words with you."
Han Bin asked, "You're here on a mission from the provincial office?"
"Yes, it's Captain Huang from the Criminal Investigation Unit. I have to hurry after I'm done talking to you."
Han Bin wasn't pretentious. "It sounds like you have something to tell me."
"It's not exactly an explanation. I just want to give you some information."
"Go ahead."
"We're here to investigate a kidnapping case."
"You don't need to keep it a secret?"
"Hehe, I've already asked Captain Huang to keep it a secret from others, but not from you. Captain Huang has already gone to look for Station Chief Feng. Maybe he'll need our help on this case. "
Han Bin was puzzled. "Why don't you keep it a secret from me?"
"Because we're currently investigating a kidnapping case. You've been a great help."
Han Bin was even more confused. He didn't even know what was going on. How could he help?
Moreover, it was a kidnapping case. He had just worked with the Guang 'an Road Police Station to investigate a fake police report, and now there was another kidnapping case in the provincial office. Could these two cases be related?
It shouldn't be. There shouldn't be anything fishy about this case. He was at the scene at the time, and the case was handed over to the Guang 'an Road Police Station. That was his dad's territory. If there were any special circumstances, Han Bin would be the first to know.
As if sensing Han Bin's confusion, Bao Xing said, "Do you still remember going to Quan City last year?"
"Of course. You were at the train station to pick us up."
"Didn't you go to the wedding? You saw a man behaving suspiciously at the wedding and sent me his photo. "
Hearing Bao Xing's hint, Han Bin recalled that man.
At that time, Wang Ting's best friend got married. Wang Ting and Han Bin attended the wedding together. At the wedding, Han Bin saw a man with strange behavior. The man was about 40 years old and didn't stand out among the crowd. However, one of his actions attracted Han Bin's attention.
When the man smoked, he habitually pinched out the cigarette holder and smoked a cigarette without a filter. This was not the end.
When the cigarette was about to reach its end, he used his fingers to extinguish the cigarette butt, as if he couldn't feel the temperature of the cigarette butt at all. In Han Bin's opinion, it was very likely that he was consciously burning off his fingerprints.
The man's behavior was suspicious, but he didn't break the law. At that time, it was in Quan City, and it wasn't convenient for Han Bin to investigate. Therefore, he took a photo of the man and gave it to Bao Xing, asking him to investigate the man.
"There was something like that. I remember you sent a WeChat message saying that the man had a criminal record, but he had already served his sentence, so I didn't pay attention to him anymore."
"Yes, I used the facial recognition system to find the man's identity. His name is Sun Youguo, and he had a criminal record of theft and kidnapping. He was released from prison in October the year before last. Because he had already served his sentence and there were no other cases, I didn't pay attention to him anymore, "Bao Xing paused and continued.
"It wasn't until another case happened the day before yesterday that Sun Youguo came back into our sight."
"What happened to him?"
"He's suspected of kidnapping."
"Where was he kidnapped?"
"The location of the kidnapping was in Quan City."
"Then why did he come to Qindao?"
"When I checked the surveillance cameras, I saw Sun Youguo in the surveillance cameras near the crime scene. Thinking that he had a criminal record of kidnapping, I focused my attention on him. As a result, I found out that he was indeed a suspect and was likely to be one of the suspects in the kidnapping case. We have been tracking his whereabouts and found that he came to Qindao, so we followed him."
"Where is he now?"
"We temporarily lost him. We came to Qindao's Public Security Bureau to ask for their assistance in the investigation."
"What's the situation with the kidnapped people?"
"The kidnapped people are two children, both of whom are still in elementary school. Their families are quite rich, and the kidnappers have already offered a price."
"How much?"
"Two million per child, four million in total."
"Hmph, crazy."
"Sigh, who said it wasn't?"
Han Bin continued, "Bao Xing, you're telling me this because you think that the case might be assigned to Team Two?"
"I'm not sure about that, but since Captain Huang is asking for assistance from the Municipal Bureau, I guess it should be the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade. As for whether it's Team One or Team Two, I'm not sure." Speaking of this, Bao Xing glanced outside and said softly, "Captain Han, this case is a bit … complicated."
"What's complicated?"
Bao Xing lowered his voice, "There's a child with a special identity."
"Say it."
"The child's father has a sister."
Han Bin waited for him to continue.
"His sister has a husband."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Just say that the child has an uncle."
"Hehe, it's safer to say it separately."
To avoid attracting a certain beast.
"Okay, go ahead."
"His sister's husband is a leader in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, he's very influential." Bao Xing reminded, "So, you have to think carefully about whether you want to fight for this case or not."
"I know." Han Bin patted Bao Xing's shoulder.
Everything had two sides. With this layer of relationship, Han Bin also had to be cautious.
If he could solve the case, it would naturally be a happy ending. He could also leave a good impression on the leader of the team and they might even become friends.
However, if he couldn't solve the case and the victim was killed, then Han Bin's reputation would definitely drop in the eyes of the leader and he might even offend him.
To put it bluntly, this case had a bonus effect. If he could successfully solve the case, it would naturally be better and he could show his face in front of the team.
If he couldn't solve the case, it might also affect Han Bin's future.
"Bao Xing, can you tell me about the progress of this case?"
"Captain Han, I can only tell you this much. Any more detailed progress … it's …"
Seeing that the other party was in a difficult position, Han Bin waved his hand, "Forget it. If he really wants us to assist in the investigation, Captain Huang will definitely tell us the case in advance. It's the same to listen to it then."
"Thank you for understanding, Captain Han."
"I'm also in this line of work. How can I not understand?"
Bao Xing changed the topic, "Oh right, Captain Han, how's our team recently?"
"It's still the same. It's no different from when you left."
"Really?" Bao Xing frowned, "I just saw Qianqian. I don't know if it's because I came too suddenly, but I feel that there's something wrong when she talks to me. It's not as natural as before."
"She didn't say anything to you?"
"What did she say? What's the matter with Qianqian? "
"Indeed, she has changed recently. I thought she had already told you."
Bao Xing was concerned, "What's wrong with Qianqian? What's the matter with her? Is she feeling unwell?"
Han Bin sighed, "Actually, it's not easy for me to say. She should tell you herself."
"Captain Han, don't scare me. The more you say it, the more uncertain I feel. What's going on?"
"Well, she …" Han Bin was in a difficult position and was considering what to say.
"Knock knock …" There was another knock on the door.
"Come in."
Huang Qianqian pushed the door open and walked in, "Captain Han, Bao Xing."
"Well, you came at the right time. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Captain Han, that … I'm here to see Bao Xing. I have something to tell him."
"That's good. It's more appropriate for you to tell him directly than me." Han Bin patted Bao Xing's shoulder hard, "Go, let's have lunch together."
"Eh." Bao Xing suddenly had a bad feeling. He stood up and walked to Huang Qianqian's side, "Qianqian, what do you want to say to me?"
Huang Qianqian did not say it immediately, nor did she have any intention of leaving the office. She walked to Han Bin's side, "Captain Han, can you go out for a while?"
"What? I'll go out?"
"I want to borrow your office. I can't say it in the hallway, can I?"
"That's true. It's not appropriate. You guys talk … I'll go to the other offices." Han Bin picked up his teacup and strolled out of the office. Before he left, he even closed the door.
Bao Xing became more and more uncertain, "Qianqian, what's the matter? Did you encounter any difficulties? Tell me, I'll definitely help you. "
"I … The difficulty now is that I don't know how to tell you."
"What are you talking about? What's the matter?" Bao Xing squeezed out a smile, vaguely guessing something.
"I … I have a boyfriend."
Bao Xing squeezed out a smile, "Qianqian, you're not going to say that I'm your boyfriend, are you? Are you going to give me a surprise?"
Huang Qianqian was stunned. She did not know how to respond.
"Qianqian, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding. I do have a boyfriend, but it's not you."
"Then who is it? Is there someone more suitable than me? Someone who you like more? When did it happen? How come I didn't know? "
"Bao Xing, I know you've always been good to me, but … there are some things …"
Bao Xing waved his hand, "Qianqian, don't give me the good guy card. That will make me even more sad."
"I'm sorry. I hope you can find someone more suitable than me. "
"I just don't understand. We've known each other for so long, but you haven't been good to me. I've only been gone for a few months. How did you find a boyfriend? Who is it? Do I know him? "
"This … is not important. Feelings can't be calculated with time."
"Then I know him. Who is it? How am I lacking? "
"Sigh, forget it. I'll tell you. It's Zhao Ming."
"Who?"
"Zhao Ming."
"Hua Zi? This brat … Why do you like him? I'm taller and more handsome than him. How am I inferior to him? "
"It's not that you're inferior to him. It's just that we're not suitable."
Bao Xing sat on the sofa powerlessly. He was very disappointed, but he did not resent Huang Qianqian. Actually, he had vaguely guessed it before coming to Qin Island.
In these few months, he was in Spring City while Huang Qianqian was in Qin Island. He could feel that Huang Qianqian seemed to be intentionally avoiding him and never took the initiative to contact him. At that time, he felt that Huang Qianqian was distancing herself from him, but he only thought that she wanted to draw a line between them. It could be considered a vague rejection.
"Bao Xing, are you okay? It's not that I didn't want to tell you. I just didn't know how to say it. Moreover, we're in a different place. After a long time, we'll lose contact. I didn't expect it to be like this … "
Bao Xing shook his head, "It's not your fault. I should have known …"
"Then I …"
"Go out first. I want to be alone."
"Okay." Huang Qianqian walked a few steps before stopping, "No matter what, we're good friends and colleagues."
…
Han Bin stood at the end of the corridor, sipping tea while looking out the window.
"Da da …" Footsteps sounded.
Seeing Huang Qianqian walk out, Han Bin's eyes were a bit red.
"Yes."
Huang Qianqian nodded.
"How's his mood?"
Huang Qianqian shook her head.
"This matter has to be solved sooner or later. It's better to get the pain over with." Han Bin sighed, "You can go back. I'll go see Bao Xing."
Han Bin returned to the office. Bao Xing was still sitting on the sofa in a daze.
"There's no one else here. If you're sad, just cry. You'll feel better after crying. Don't affect your work."
Bao Xing said with a sad face, "Han Bin, is it appropriate for you to say this now?"
"It's better for me to say it than your Captain Huang. Women are important to a man, but work is more important.
You two have known each other for so long. Since you two didn't get together, it means that you two aren't compatible. It's not a pity. "
"Captain Han, are you comforting me?"
Han Bin looked around. "There's someone else here?"
"I'm not just sad. I'm also a little indignant. Tell me, which part of me can't compare to Zhao Ming? How long have I known Qianqian and how long has he been here? Why does Qianqian like him? "
"This kind of comparison is meaningless. Whether you win or lose, it won't change the outcome. You'll only be in pain."
Bao Xing rubbed his eyes. "Actually, I felt it some time ago. This time, I came back to put an end to it. In the future … I won't pester her anymore."
"This is also a good thing for you. You're not bad. Isn't it nice to find someone you like and she likes you?"
Bao Xing choked, "But I like Qianqian …"
"Alright, alright. The more I talk, the more excited you are."
"Ring ring ring …" Han Bin's phone rang. It was Ding Xifeng.
"Hello, Captain."
"Come to the conference room on the fourth floor."
"What's the matter?"
"You'll know when you come."
"Yes."
"Oh, right. Is Bao Xing at your place?"
"Yes."
"Bring him over."
"Alright." Han Bin hung up. Although Ding Xifeng did not say what it was, since he called Bao Xing's name, it must be related to the kidnapping case that the Criminal Investigation Unit was investigating.
"Hurry up and come with me."
"Where are we going?"
Seeing his listless look, Han Bin was exasperated. "To introduce you to a girlfriend."
"Ah, so fast!"
"Fast my ass. Go wash your face."
