"Where were you the night before yesterday at nine o 'clock?"
Huang Qiang recalled for a moment. "I booked a room at an Internet cafe."
"Nonsense. Which Internet cafe booked a room at nine o 'clock at night?" Li Hui snorted.
"Yes, yes, you're right. That Internet cafe booked a room at ten o 'clock at night. Huang Wei and I arrived at eight o' clock at night. We played for two hours first before booking a room," Huang Qiang said.
"We will send someone to verify if you committed the crime. First, tell me who you sold the car to." Han Bin asked.
"Li Wei."
"Who's Li Wei?"
"When I used to wash cars at the car shop, Li Wei was our foreman. He's been in this business for a long time, and he has many connections. I've heard him mention that he has connections in this area." Huang Qiang sighed and revealed a regretful look.
"To be honest, I'm an honest person. I never thought I would steal a car. Who knew that I would coincidentally see the beggar lying on the ground dead. At first, I was very afraid. Later, I saw the beggar holding the key to a Mercedes-Benz. At that time, I …"
Huang Qiang sobbed for a while before wiping his tears. "A stinky beggar holding a Mercedes-Benz key. That's a Mercedes-Benz. How could a stinky beggar do that? I don't know why I was possessed, but I just wanted to take the key and drive it around. I wanted to try driving a luxury car. Later, I decided to go all out. Anyway, no one else saw it."
Han Bin ignored his complaints and asked, "Where's Li Wei?"
"I'm not sure now."
"How did you contact him?" Han Bin asked.
"I called him."
"Cell phone number?"
“133425XXXXX。”
"Was there anything else in the car?" Han Bin asked.
Huang Qiang recalled, "Half a box of Maotai, a cell phone, a suit, a pack of Chunghwa cigarettes …"
"Where's the cell phone?"
"I threw it away."
"Where did you throw it?"
"I threw it into a greenbelt near the southern suburbs."
"Why did you hand the car over to Li Wei?" Han Bin asked.
"I drove the car to the southern suburbs near Zhangma Village. There's a wasteland there. Li Wei took two people to dismantle the GPS and gave me seventy thousand yuan before driving the Mercedes-Benz away. He even warned me to leave the island immediately," Huang Qiang said.
Han Bin interrogated Huang Qiang for a while more, but Huang Qiang's knowledge was limited, so he didn't get any more useful information.
As Han Bin exited the interrogation room, Zheng Kaixuan also exited the observation room.
"Captain Zheng, there's another case of selling stolen cars. There are more clues to investigate. I'm afraid our team doesn't have enough manpower," Han Bin said.
"The most important thing right now is the murder case. Killing someone on the street is too bad. According to Chief Dai, the leaders of the Municipal Bureau have asked about this case and requested the branch to solve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Municipal Bureau might let the Criminal Investigation Unit 1 take over." Zheng Kaixuan said with a solemn expression.
The Criminal Investigation Unit 1 was directly under the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division. They were responsible for handling major cases in the island. They also had a common name, 'Major Crimes Team.'
There were seven districts and three counties under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Investigation Division. There were eleven Criminal Investigation Units under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Investigation Division. Ten of the Criminal Investigation Units were under the jurisdiction of the local branch. If there was a major case that the branch couldn't handle, it would be reported to the Municipal Bureau.
The Municipal Bureau would either send the Criminal Investigation Unit 1 to take over the case or send experts to guide the investigation.
"What about the car selling case?" Han Bin asked.
"How about this, since the Criminal Investigation Unit 1 doesn't have any cases right now, I'll let them take over the car selling case. Your team can focus on solving this murder case," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Sure, but I have a request."
"Say it."
"After the Criminal Investigation Unit 1 takes over the car case, you must first send someone to find the victim's phone and the car's GPS. I need them," Han Bin said.
"No problem, focus on the murder case. I'll let the Criminal Investigation Unit 1 cooperate with you. If you don't have enough manpower, tell me and I'll transfer some from the Criminal Investigation Unit 1 to you," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Okay, with your words, what else can I say?" Han Bin said.
"But I'll also say this up front. You can use the people of the Criminal Investigation Team Three, but the case must quickly find a breakthrough. I don't want the people of the Criminal Investigation Team One to interfere with our team's case." Zheng Kaixuan said firmly.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to solve the case," Han Bin said seriously.
"Okay, I've ordered takeout for your team. Go eat first, I'll arrange a task for the Criminal Investigation Unit 1." Zheng Kaixuan patted Han Bin's shoulder and then left.
Han Bin and Li Hui returned to the office. As soon as they opened the door, they smelled the aroma of food.
"It smells good. What's good?" Li Hui couldn't wait to shout.
"It's all good dishes. Flatbread, mutton giblets soup, mushroom chicken stew, pig trotters," Zhao Ming said as he drooled.
Han Bin did not come back, so the members were too embarrassed to eat first.
"Team Leader, Captain Zheng made so much good food for us. The higher-ups must be very concerned about this case, right?" Tian Li asked.
Han Bin smiled and waved his hand. "Don't just stand there. Eat while it's hot. Let's talk while we eat."
Since Han Bin had spoken, no one hesitated.
Zhao Ming took a bite of the flatbread.
Tian Li took a sip of the mutton giblets soup.
Sun Xiaopeng picked up a piece of chicken.
Li Hui picked up half of the pig trotters and started eating.
Han Bin also took half of the pig trotters and took a bite. "It tastes good. It melts in the mouth and is chewy."
"It's not bad. Some sellers cook the pig trotters so hard that it's hard to bite," Li Hui muttered as he ate.
"That's not too bad. Some of the pig trotters have their tendons removed. Other than the skin, there's only the bones," Zhao Ming snorted.
"A bunch of foodies." Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After eating a few mouthfuls and not feeling hungry, Han Bin said, "Captain Zheng said that the car trafficking case will be taken over by the Criminal Investigation Unit 1, and the Criminal Investigation Unit 2 will focus on the murder case."
"These two cases have a certain connection. If we give up on investigating the stolen cars case, will we miss some key clues?" Tian Li raised a question.
"Don't worry about that. I've already talked to Captain Zheng. After the Criminal Investigation Unit 1 takes over the car trafficking case, they will also cooperate with the murder case. Once they find any clues related to the murder case, they will inform us immediately," Han Bin said.
"Xiaopeng, summon the contacts on the victim's contact list to make a statement.
"The rest of you, check the surveillance cameras. Check all the surveillance cameras at the time of the crime."
"Yes."
After the meal, everyone split up. Sun Xiaopeng began to call the contacts on the contact list one by one, summoning them to the police station to make a statement.
The reason why he didn't summon them was because some of their addresses were not detailed or they had moved away. It would be difficult to find them.
Summoning them over the phone was the fastest. Those who were willing to come to the police station to make a statement could be further eliminated as suspects. Those who were unwilling to come to the police station and cooperate with the police would be even more suspicious.
Han Bin would also focus on the investigation.
