"We have checked Li Tao's communication records. You two have talked to each other more than once." Li Hui said.
"Hehe, I run a small shop. Maybe it's a customer." Zhang Haiyan winked at Han Bin and Li Hui with her back facing her husband.
"Do you have time to talk alone?" Han Bin asked.
"Old Cao, you go cook in the house. I will go to the front door and talk to the police officers." Zhang Haiyan arranged.
"Okay." The middle-aged man looked at his wife and then looked at Han Bin. Although he felt a little uneasy, he still returned to the house.
Zhang Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, "Officers, let's talk in the front."
The three of them returned to the counter. Zhang Haiyan took out two packs of cigarettes from under the counter and handed them to Han Bin and Li Hui.
"Officers, there's nothing to entertain you. Please smoke."
"Thank you. We don't smoke during the course of official business." Han Bin declined.
Zhang Haiyan took back the cigarettes and said, "Officers, if you have anything to say, just ask."
"Do you know Li Tao?" Han Bin asked again.
Zhang Haiyan nodded, "Yes."
"Why did you lie just now?" Li Hui snorted.
Zhang Haiyan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not really a lie. I usually call him Brother Tao. I didn't react when you called his name."
"What's your relationship with him?"
"We're friends."
"What friend?"
"Kind of an acquaintance. He occasionally helps me with some goods, so we got to know each other."
"When was the last time you saw him?" Han Bin asked.
"I don't remember."
"Think about it."
"Officers, I run a small shop. I see hundreds of people a day. How can I remember them all?" Zhang Haiyan sighed.
"August 30th. He called you. What did he say?"
"He asked me if I needed help with goods. I said no." Zhang Haiyan shrugged.
"August 30th. Did the two of you meet?"
"No."
"Do you have a car?"
"There's a van."
"Do you know Sun Shaoqiang?" Han Bin asked.
"Never heard of it." Zhang Haiyan shook her head and asked, "Officer, what's the matter?"
"Li Tao is missing."
"Really?" Zhang Haiyan asked.
"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Han Bin asked.
"He hasn't been here for a long time, so I guessed that something might have happened." Zhang Haiyan sighed.
"What's the relationship between the two of you?" Li Hui frowned.
"Just friends," Zhang Haiyan said.
"What is your husband's full name?"
"Cao Yang, what's wrong?"
"Call Cao Yang out. We want to understand some things from him." Li Hui felt that this woman's words were unreliable.
"Comrade Police, I will answer whatever you ask. Now you want to find my husband. What do you mean?" Zhang Haiyan's tone was a little dissatisfied.
"It is the duty of every citizen who knows about the case to cooperate with the investigation," Li Hui said.
"My husband doesn't know Li Tao, nor does he know Li Tao." Zhang Haiyan said.
"You are not him. You can't answer for him." Li Hui said.
"You are right. I can't answer for him. I can control myself. As long as you call my husband over, I won't say a word." Zhang Haiyan said coldly.
"You …" Li Hui was a little annoyed.
Han Bin reached out and patted Li Hui's shoulder, "Zhang Haiyan, do you have a car?"
"Yes, a van."
"Thank you for your cooperation." Han Bin said and left with Li Hui.
As soon as they left the store, Li Hui couldn't help but say, "Brother Bin, this woman's relationship with Li Tao is definitely not simple."
"Even if their relationship is not simple, do you think she will admit it in front of her husband?" Han Bin asked.
"If they really have that kind of relationship, Li Tao's death must have something to do with her," Li Hui said with certainty.
"Let's report to Captain Zheng first." Han Bin suggested.
Han Bin and Sun Xing walked to the police car and met up with Zheng Kaixuan and the others. They described the situation.
After listening, Wei Zimo couldn't help but say, "Zhang Haiyan is probably Li Tao's lover."
"Isn't the top of Cao Yang's head green?" Sun Xing laughed.
"If that's the case, Cao Yang has a motive to kill Li Tao." Li Hui guessed.
After listening to everyone's discussion, Zheng Kaixuan arranged, "Wei Zimo and Sun Xing, you guys go visit the village and see if you can find any clues. Han Bin, Li Hui, you guys go to the telecommunications company and check Zhang Haiyan and Cao Yang's communication records."
"Yes."
…
Four o 'clock in the afternoon.
After the investigation, everyone returned to Yu Hua Branch.
Zheng Kaixuan gathered everyone together to summarize the case.
"Tell me, how's the investigation going?" Zheng Kaixuan flipped open the diary.
Wei Zimo said, "Sun Xing and I went to Beizhai Village and found out that Li Tao used to come to the store often. He had a special relationship with Zhang Haiyan."
"Does Cao Yang know about it?" Li Hui asked.
"Cao Yang often goes out to work. It's unlikely that he knows." Sun Xing shrugged.
"Are there any abnormalities in Cao Yang and Zhang Haiyan's communication records?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
Li Hui shook his head. "We printed out the call records, but we didn't find any special contacts. We're still investigating."
Knock, knock, knock … At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Creak …
Reuven pushed the door open and walked in. He said, "Captain Zheng, the DNA comparison between the deceased and Li Tao's mother is out."
"Is it Li Tao?"
"The comparison proves that they're not mother and son." Reuven shrugged.
"What?!" Sun Xing was shocked. He shouted, "They're not mother and son? Could it be that the test is wrong?"
"The possibility of the machine making a mistake is very small. It's almost negligible." Reuven pushed up his glasses with his palm.
"We've been investigating for a long time. Could it be that we got the wrong person?" Li Hui said.
"If Li Tao isn't the deceased, then we can eliminate the suspicion of Zhang Haiyan and Cao Yang," Wei Zimo said.
"The report is on the table. If there's any problem, you can come to me again." Reuven said and left the office after bidding farewell to Zheng Kaixuan.
Everyone was silent for a while. Zheng Kaixuan clapped his hands. "Be more energetic. Don't look so lifeless. This lead is broken, but we can investigate another direction."
Han Bin thought for a moment and said, "Captain Zheng, I think this lead might not be broken."
"What do you mean?"
"The suspect dumped the body on the 30th of August. The deceased might have been killed on that day. Also, we lost contact with Li Tao on the 30th of August. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Han Bin habitually twirled his pen.
"But the DNA comparison is out. Li Tao isn't the deceased." Wei Zimo said.
"It might not be the deceased who lost contact. It could also be the murderer." Han Bin guessed.
"F * ck. You're saying that Li Tao is the murderer of the body dumping case? He fled after committing the crime. "Li Hui was a little surprised.
"This is just my guess." Han Bin said indifferently.
