Mu Xinran's house, living room.
"Ms. Mu, you've already reported the case. Why are you hiding the evidence?" Reuven asked.
"Officer Han has already seen the video," Mu Xinran said.
"There are two videos, and Team Leader Han has only seen one. The other video is also evidence of blackmail, and it needs to be handed over to the police for investigation," Reuven said.
"They're both videos, so what's the difference between one and two?" Mu Xinran asked.
"It's all evidence, and it needs to be verified by the technical department of the police. It's not up to you to decide."
"I'm the one who reported the case, and there's no evidence in the video. It's just my privacy, and I don't want my privacy to be exposed. I have the right to do so, right?" Mu Xinran said.
"This is a criminal case, and the person who reported the case can't withdraw from the case. As long as it's related to the case and the suspect, we have to investigate it," Tian Li explained.
Creak … At this moment, the door to the study room opened, and Han Bin walked out.
"What's going on? It's so chaotic. "
"Team Leader, Ms. Mu doesn't want to let me see the other video," Tian Li said helplessly.
Han Bin walked to the living room and said, "Ms. Mu, I hope that you can understand and cooperate. It's our duty to collect evidence."
"I've already deleted the other video." Mu Xinran shrugged.
Han Bin stretched out his hand. "Give me the phone."
Mu Xinran hesitated for a moment, thinking that Han Bin wanted to check it, so she handed it over. She did delete the video.
Han Bin took the phone and passed it to Reuven. "Give the SIM card to Ms. Mu."
"Got it." Reuven nodded. Regardless of whether the video was deleted or fake, he had a way to fix it.
"Officer Han, that's my phone. Don't you think you're going too far?" Mu Xinran questioned.
"Ms. Mu, we're here to investigate a case. You've provided false testimony and hidden clues, and that's considered obstructing the investigation. I hope that we can understand each other so that we can solve the case as soon as possible," Han Bin said.
"I didn't obstruct the investigation. I just wanted to protect my privacy. What I'm hiding has nothing to do with the case," Mu Xinran said.
"That's just what you think," Han Bin said coldly.
"When the police handle a case, we have to consider the overall situation of the case and investigate all the suspects. If you deliberately hide clues that you think are not important, the police may have to spend several times more time to investigate. The police are the ones who handle the case, and whether the clues are useful or not is also the conclusion that the police will come to after investigation. Some of your little thoughts will have a great impact on the police investigation."
"Officer Han, you're right. I didn't think it through carefully enough." Mu Xinran rolled her eyes and made an inviting gesture. "Can we talk in private?"
The two walked to the balcony. Mu Xinran turned her head to look at the people in the living room and whispered, "You know that I'm an artist, a public figure. A good reputation is very important to me. If the second video is leaked, my reputation and career will be ruined. I sincerely beg you, please keep it a secret for me."
"Don't worry about that. Our police station has rules. The evidence involved in the case will not be leaked. We won't ruin our jobs, and we're not interested in the affairs of your circle," Han Bin said.
"Thank you," Mu Xinran said.
"When will your husband arrive?" Han Bin asked.
"Can I not tell him about this?" Mu Xinran asked.
"The door lock has no signs of being damaged. He has the key to the house. We need to make a statement for him. If you don't want to contact him, we can do it," Han Bin said.
"Let me do it. I'll contact him," Mu Xinran said hurriedly.
"You're an artist from New Era Entertainment?"
"Yes."
"Who's the person in charge of your company?"
"Ma Pengkun, Boss Ma."
"He also knows about your return to Qindao."
"Yes, I usually talk to him directly if there's anything related to work," Mu Xinran said.
"It's best to ask him to come to Qindao. I want to make a statement for him," Han Bin said.
"He's in the capital. I'm not sure if he can come." Mu Xinran shrugged.
"Give his phone number to Tian Li and ask her to contact him."
"Got it." Mu Xinran nodded.
"By the way, have you prepared the ransom money?" Han Bin asked.
"The ransom money is not a problem. I've already made an appointment with the bank. I can go and get it anytime," Mu Xinran said.
After talking with Mu Xinran, Han Bin rearranged the tasks.
Two people from the forensics team stayed behind to monitor Mu Xinran's phone.
Reuven and the others brought the collected evidence back to the police station for examination.
Not long after Han Bin made the arrangements, Zheng Kaixuan also came to Mu Xinran's home.
After learning about the case, he had a simple conversation with Mu Xinran. After all, she was a public figure and had a certain amount of influence. Some people played the bad cop, while others played the good cop.
Zheng Kaixuan was quite satisfied with Han Bin's arrangements.
It was past six in the evening. The suspect still hadn't called, and the forensics team still hadn't come out with the results.
Zheng Kaixuan asked Han Bin to take the other team members home first. Tonight, he, Tian Li, and two members of the forensics team would stay behind.
Once the suspect called, there needed to be someone who could make the decision at the scene. It was either Han Bin or Zheng Kaixuan.
…
In an off-road vehicle.
Sun Xiaopeng was driving, Han Bin sat in the front passenger seat, and Zhao Ming and Li Hui sat in the back.
Li Hui lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked, "Brother Bin, did you find anything during the statement with Li Hanxuan today?"
"According to him, Mu Xinran's contract with New Era Entertainment Company is about to expire, and she wants to set up her own entertainment company," Han Bin said.
"Tsk tsk, Mu Xinran has been quite popular in the past two years. Now that she's terminated her contract with her agency, the boss must be furious," Li Hui said.
"I think so too. She has some conflicts with her agency," Han Bin said.
"Then what's her relationship with Li Hanxuan?" Li Hui laughed.
"That's what you really want to ask," Han Bin said with disdain.
"Hehe, everyone wants to know."
"If you want to know, you can read the statement yourself." Han Bin shook his head and laughed.
"Tsk, forget it if you don't want to say it. How can I not guess it?" Li Hui snorted.
"I heard that some rich women like to raise puppies. There are many of them in the entertainment industry." Zhao Ming squinted his eyes.
"Alright, alright. The more you say, the more unreliable it is." Han Bin snorted.
"Sigh, if my mom knows about this, she will definitely be sad." Sun Xiaopeng sighed.
"What does this have to do with your mom?" Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"My mom likes Mu Xinran a lot. She watched her TV series and said that she's a good wife. She also said that I should find a wife like her," Sun Xiaopeng explained.
"I have a good impression of her. I think she's a good wife and mother. Who knew …" Li Hui shrugged.
None of the people present asked for Mu Xinran's autograph. The work was secondary. The main reason was that Mu Xinran often played the role of a good wife and mother.
