Checking surveillance cameras was a boring job, but it was indeed the most common and effective investigation method for the police to handle cases.
There were more than 20 surveillance cameras to be checked, and Han Bin also joined the investigation. He looked at the surveillance much faster than the other team members.
Ring … Sun Xiaopeng's phone rang.
After answering the phone, Sun Xiaopeng said to Han Bin, "Team Leader, the deceased's contact, Li Rukuan, is here."
"You go down and pick him up." In Han Bin's view, those who were willing to cooperate with the police were good comrades.
Not long after Sun Xiaopeng left, he returned to the office with a man in his thirties.
The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, had a big haircut, wore a black suit, held a briefcase in his hand, and had polished leather shoes. He looked quite successful.
Han Bin got up and greeted him, "Hello, I'm the team leader of Criminal Investigation Team Three, Han Bin."
"Hello, my name is Li Rukuan, and I'm a lawyer."
"Lawyer Li, I invited you here today because it's related to a criminal case, and I would like to ask you to make a statement," Han Bin said.
"No problem, I'm willing to cooperate with the police." Li Rukuan showed a professional smile.
"That's great. If everyone is as easy to talk to as you, our work will be easy." Han Bin smiled and invited Li Rukuan to sit on the chair opposite him.
Then, Han Bin was responsible for the interrogation, and Sun Xiaopeng was responsible for the record.
Han Bin first asked a routine question, and then went straight to the point. "Lawyer Li, do you know Fan Zhenye?"
"Yes, we have business dealings."
"Have you been in contact recently?"
"A few days ago, and we were supposed to meet today, but he didn't come, and his phone couldn't be reached. It just so happened that the police contacted me, so I wanted to come and see if something happened to him," Li Rukuan said.
"When was the last time you met Fan Zhenye?"
"Just a few days ago, he went to my law firm, and there are surveillance cameras that can be checked," Li Rukuan said.
"What kind of lawyer are you? Why is he looking for you?"
"Divorce lawyer," Li Rukuan said.
"He wants to divorce his wife?" Han Bin asked.
"It's not convenient for me to disclose my client's privacy, but he did ask me about some things and wanted me to help him with the lawsuit," Li Rukuan said vaguely.
Although Li Rukuan didn't say it explicitly, he had indirectly admitted it.
"What happened to Fan Zhenye?" Li Rukuan asked curiously.
"He's dead."
"What? He's dead!" Li Rukuan was shocked. "How and when did he die?"
"He died two days ago," Han Bin said.
"This … this is too sudden. Originally, he wanted to meet me today. Who knew that it would be so sudden …" Li Rukuan sighed.
"Why does he want a divorce?"
Li Rukuan hesitated for a moment. "It's not convenient for me to disclose the privacy of my clients."
"Fan Zhenye is dead. He's lying in the morgue. Privacy is not important to him now. What's important is to find the real murderer and avenge him," Han Bin said.
"Ai … How did things become like this? The world is really unpredictable." Li Rukuan sighed.
"Lawyer Li, the reason for Fan Zhenye's divorce is likely to be related to his death. I hope you can cooperate with our police work and catch Fan Zhenye's murderer as soon as possible," Han Bin advised.
After Li Rukuan pondered for a moment, he said, "Fan Zhenye came to me to divorce his wife and asked me to be his lawyer."
"Why does he want a divorce?"
"In the beginning, he told me that they were not on good terms and consulted me about the division of property. I asked him if he had made up his mind, and he said that he would consider it again. He came several times, but he couldn't make up his mind. It wasn't until the last time he came that he made up his mind to divorce and told me that his wife wanted to kill him," Li Rukuan said.
"Are you sure that he said that his wife wanted to kill him?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes."
"Did he say how to kill him?"
"No." Li Rukuan shook his head.
"Was there any conflict between the couple?"
"According to him, they had no feelings for each other for a long time. He even suspected that his wife had a gigolo outside and asked me if I could get a bigger share of the property if I caught him in the act," Li Rukuan recalled.
"Did he mention the name of the gigolo?"
"I didn't ask, and I don't need to know." Li Rukuan shrugged his shoulders.
"Do you believe Fan Zhenye's words?"
"I believe him," Li Rukuan said firmly.
"Although he had the intention to divorce before, he had been hesitant and couldn't make up his mind. The last time we met, he was determined to divorce. His wife must have done something to provoke him."
After asking a few more questions, Han Bin didn't get any more clues, so he let Li Rukuan leave first.
Li Hui and Zhao Ming came over.
"Brother Bin, this is an unexpected gain," Li Hui said.
"Brother Bin, if what Lawyer Li said is true, then Cai Xiuyan is very suspicious. Should we summon her again for a statement?" Zhao Ming suggested.
Han Bin rubbed his chin and didn't answer immediately.
From Li Rukuan's words, it could be heard that the conflict between Fan Zhenye and his wife was already very deep. Moreover, the couple were already disloyal to each other. Fan Zhenye's accidental death before the divorce was also his wife, Cai Xiuyan, who gained the most.
Cai Xiuyan's motive rose further.
"Team Leader, I found something in the surveillance," Tian Li shouted.
"What's the situation?"
"The day before yesterday, a woman wearing a hat appeared near the crime scene."
Han Bin walked over and looked down at the screen. The video showed a screenshot of a woman. It was a bit dark at night, so it wasn't very clear.
The woman was wearing a bowler hat and a floral dress. She was tall, and her head was lowered, so her face couldn't be seen clearly.
"When did this woman appear at the crime scene?" Han Bin asked.
"She entered Jing 'an Alley from Jing' an Beili at seven in the afternoon. She didn't leave Jing 'an Alley until eleven at night. Because it was two hours after the crime, I almost missed it at first. Later, you told me to focus on investigating this woman, so I paid attention to her again. I felt that she was definitely suspicious," Tian Li explained.
"There are no surveillance cameras in Jing 'an Alley, so it's hard for us to know what this woman did during this period," Zhao Ming analyzed.
"Did she have a means of transportation?" Han Bin asked.
"She took a taxi at seven at night and left at eleven at night. Moreover, she kept her head down and wore a bowler hat. It's hard for the surveillance to capture her face," Tian Li said.
Han Bin stared at the computer screen. "The figure of this woman wearing a bowler hat doesn't look like Xiuyan."
"Could she be Fan Zhenye's mistress?" Li Hui said.
Han Bin hesitated for a moment, then asked Tian Li, "Did you capture the taxi driver's license plate number?"
Tian Li scrolled back to the video and read, "The camera captured it. The license plate number is Lu.Bu3H55."
"Search, use the car to find the person!"
