"What do you have in mind?" Zeng Ping continued to ask.
"Zhou Tianrong wrote down his mother's address and gave his registered phone number to his mother. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Han Bin analyzed.
"Do you think he did this on purpose?"
"Zhou Tianrong committed a crime. The police will find his mother's address and phone number. This is equivalent to giving Zhou Tianrong an early warning. Of course, this is just my speculation." Han Bin took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone. They could not smoke in the office, but there was no taboo outside.
"If this is the case, Zhou Tianrong's anti-surveillance awareness is quite strong. It won't be easy to catch him." Li Hui muttered.
Ceng Ping took a drag on his cigarette. "If Zhou Lixia really knows how to warn us, then we'll keep an eye on her. As long as she contacts Zhou Tianrong, we'll be able to track them down."
"How should I keep an eye on him?"
"There are only two ways to contact her. One is through her phone, and the other is outside. We just need to keep an eye on her house tonight. Tomorrow, we will go to the telecommunications company to check their call records. We will be able to find their contact information." Han Bin said.
Zeng Ping looked at his watch. "It's 7 pm now. Han Bin will keep watch for the first half of the night. Tian Li and Zhao Ming will keep watch for the second half of the night. Is there a problem with the shift at 2 pm?"
"Captain Zeng, can we eat something before we keep watch?" Li Hui took a few puffs and felt even hungrier.
"You two don't need to move. From now on, the Zhou family cannot leave. I will ask Zhao Ming to buy food."
"No problem. I will go now." Zhao Ming replied and turned to leave.
"Eh, you know what I want to eat. You left without asking." Li Hui shouted.
He believed that he was very particular when it came to food.
Zhao Ming turned and said, "Roasted chicken."
Li Hui rubbed his nose and thought to himself, is it that obvious?
…
Twenty minutes later, not far from Zhou Lixia's house, Han Bin and Li Hui were squatting on the ground, eating roasted chicken.
"Damn it, why is this roast chicken so small?" Li Hui said unhappily.
"Chickens nowadays come out of the cage in one or two months. How old do you expect them to be?" Han Bin took a bite of the roasted drumstick. It tasted pretty good.
"In the past, when we stewed chicken in our hometown, it was all free-range. The chickens would run in the yard, and we would usually feed them some grains, vegetables, and so on. In the summer, we would catch crickets and grasshoppers to feed the chickens. After a year or two, the chicken would be really fragrant," Li Hui said vaguely.
"It's good enough to have something to eat. Contentment brings happiness."
"Brother Bin, why do you think Zhou Tianrong has the same surname as his mother?"
"I'll take my mother's surname."
Li Hui shook his head. "I don't think it's that simple."
"Then what do you think is going on?" Han Bin asked.
Li Hui used his right hand to rub his chin out of habit. In the end, his face was covered in oil. "Oh my."
Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He handed Tang Chuan a tissue.
Li Hui rubbed his chin. He still felt uncomfortable. He cracked his neck. "Brother Bin, do you think Zhou Lixia has any contact with her son?"
"Phew …"
Han Bin sighed. It was all his speculation. He didn't know if Zhou Lixia was lying or not.
Ever since he was tricked by her acting, Han Bin had a new understanding of micro-expression analysis.
The basic stage of micro-expression analysis was to determine if a person was lying through their body movements.
For example, touching their nose, holding their forehead, repeating a question, etc. These were all habits and body movements, but not everyone had them.
Some people could see through it, but those who didn't have these habits wouldn't be able to tell even if they were lying.
Han Bin had just learned the advanced micro-expression analysis. Micro-expressions only existed for a short period of time and were hard to capture. It was a body's instinct and couldn't be controlled by the mind. Therefore, micro-expressions were more accurate.
However, micro-expressions could only analyze the other person's emotions. Happiness, surprise, anger, fear, regret, etc. It couldn't directly determine if the other person was lying.
Just like today, Zhou Lixia had been calm the entire time. She wasn't surprised or angry, as if she was used to the police visiting. It matched Yang Hongyi's previous words.
"It's only 8 AM. We still have to wait for another six hours. It's going to be a long day." Li Hui sighed.
"Stop complaining. It's better to wait for the first half of the night than the second half." Han Bin tore off a chicken wing and ate slowly.
Just like what Li Hui said, the night was still long, and he had to find something to do.
"Bin Zi, do you think your girlfriend will understand if we work overtime all the time and work day and night when there's a case?" Li Hui revealed a worried expression, and the speed at which he ate the chicken slowed down quite a bit.
"Don't think too much. This is a problem of happiness. We have to find a girlfriend first." Han Bin reached out and wanted to pat Li Hui's shoulder.
"Don't touch me!"
Li Hui quickly dodged to the side. "Tsk, you still have the nerve to talk to me. Aren't you single now?"
"That reminds me. I do have a girl I can talk to." Han Bin still had the number of a blind date saved in his phone.
"Really?" Li Hui's eyes flickered with a hint of doubt.
Han Bin didn't answer. He just raised his chin.
Li Hui understood and looked forward. He noticed that Zhou Lixia's door was open. He stuck his head out to look around, then tiptoed out of the house.
Han Bin and Li Hui hid in a dark corner, so Zhou Lixia didn't notice them.
"It's so late. Where is she going?" Li Hui murmured.
Han Bin put the remaining chicken leg into his mouth and rubbed it hard. The bone came out, but the meat was still in his mouth. He muttered.
"Let's go. Follow her."
Li Hui followed suit. He swallowed a chicken leg and said, "Damn it. It's so good to eat meat like this."
They didn't dare to follow too closely. They were afraid of losing her, so they had to be careful. Fortunately, it was dark and they weren't discovered along the way.
Zhou Lixia turned left and right and entered a small alley. She walked to a house with lanterns and directly pushed the door open.
"Where is this?" Li Hui frowned. He wasn't familiar with this area. Now that it was night, he might not be able to find Zhou Lixia's house even if he went back.
Han Bin took out his phone and took a picture of the door. He then took a picture of the surroundings. Then, he found a dark place to hide and continued to wait.
"Brother Bin, what do you think Zhou Lixia is doing here?" Li Hui tore a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth.
"Look at her sneaky look. Maybe she's here to inform Zhou Tianrong."
"Is Zhou Tianrong living here?" Li Hui made a bold guess.
"Isn't it too close?"
Li Hui pretended to be profound. "Have you ever heard of the saying, the most dangerous place is also the safest?"
Han Bin was about to say something.
"Creak …"
With a muffled sound, a figure poked out of the door.
