It was almost noon, but the suspect still had not called.
Zhao Ming and Sun Xiaopeng returned from their investigation.
Considering that the suspect might call at any time, Han Bin did not leave Mu Xinran's house. Instead, he ordered takeout and ate in the study.
After closing the door, Han Bin and the other three sat around the coffee table while the forensics team ate in the living room. If the suspect called, they would be able to monitor it immediately.
Han Bin ordered a bowl of rice with pork ribs, ate a few mouthfuls, and drank some tea. He asked softly, "How's your investigation going?"
"We've gone to all the key stores around Mu Xinran's house, but we didn't find any clues," Zhao Ming said vaguely.
"We'll continue to investigate in the afternoon," Han Bin said.
Zhao Ming pointed outside the study and asked, "Brother Bin, should we interrogate Li Xia directly?"
Han Bin shook his head. "There's no evidence. If she doesn't admit it, will we release her within 24 hours?"
"I agree with Brother Bin. I think that Li Hanxuan is more suspicious," Li Hui said.
"What's the reason?"
"Feelings."
"I think you're just jealous, kid," Han Bin joked.
"Tsk, I have a girlfriend now, okay?" Li Hui rolled his eyes.
"They've only known each other for a few days, and they're already in a relationship? That's too casual." Han Bin was a little surprised.
"I learned this from you. When you got together with Karina, you knew her on the first day, and you got together on the third day." Li Hui snorted. "Only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
"How can that be the same? It was a special situation back then, "Han Bin said.
"Me? I'm just a little unlucky. Otherwise, Karina might have been with me back then." Li Hui shrugged.
"This has nothing to do with luck. It's mainly about temperament." Han Bin smiled.
"Tsk." Li Hui curled his lips.
"Who's Karina? A foreign girl? "Zhao Ming asked curiously.
Han Bin and Li Hui said in unison, "None of your business."
After dinner, the four of them rested for a while.
At around two o 'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Kaixuan also arrived at Mu Xinran's house.
Tian Li did not come. If there were no accidents, Tian Li would have to keep watch tonight.
It was more convenient for her to be here.
After Zheng Kaixuan arrived, there was no need for Han Bin to stay. He brought Li Hui, Zhao Ming, and Sun Xiaopeng out to investigate.
In an off-road vehicle, Zhao Ming took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Han Bin. "Brother Bin, are we still looking for clues about the key in the afternoon?"
"Yes, expand the scope of the investigation," Han Bin said.
"We've already investigated the surroundings of Mu Xinran's house. Which direction should we expand in?" Sun Xiaopeng asked.
"Zhao Ming, Xiaopeng, you two go to the hotel where Li Xia is staying. Li Hui and I will go to the hotel where Li Hanxuan is staying." Han Bin arranged.
"Yes."
…
Near the Hilton Hotel.
Han Bin and Li Hui strolled around the hotel. They looked around to see if there was a key shop and looked at the advertisements.
Li Hui raised his head and looked at the hotel. "Do you think Li Hanxuan is a C-list celebrity?"
"Not really."
"Tsk tsk. He's not even a C-list celebrity. He's actually staying in a five-star hotel. It's really easy to earn money from celebrities." Li Hui smacked his lips.
"It's not too late to change your career now." Han Bin smiled.
"Forget it. I'm not cut out for that." Li Hui shook his head.
The two walked for a while. There was a key shop on the right. The shop wasn't big. It was only about ten square meters. Other than keys, it also sold locks and repaired watches.
The two arrived at the entrance of the shop. There was a man sitting behind the counter. He looked to be about sixty years old. He was bald on the top of his head. There was quite a lot of hair on the sides of his head. He had a standard Mediterranean hairstyle.
"Hello, Sir," Li Hui greeted.
The man raised his head and glanced at Han Bin and Li Hui. "Do you repair watches or keys?"
"How should I address you?" Han Bin didn't answer the question.
"Just call me Old Zhang."
"Sir Zhang, I want to ask you something," Li Hui said politely.
"I'm busy. If you want to ask about something, go somewhere else." Old Zhang waved his hand.
"We are the police. We want to ask you about something." Li Hui showed his police badge.
Old Zhang was stunned. He put down his work and looked at the two. "Are you really the police?"
"Didn't I show you my police badge?"
"That thing. It knows me. I don't know it." Old Zhang walked out from behind the counter and asked, "What do you want?"
"Has anyone asked you to make keys with a key pad recently?" Han Bin asked.
"That's what I do. There are many people who come to make keys every day," Old Zhang said.
"We're talking about using a key pad to make keys."
"This is really rare." Old Zhang recalled for a moment and said, "A few days ago, it seems that someone came to me with a key pad to make keys."
Li Hui opened the law enforcement recorder. "Is it a man or a woman who used a key pad to make keys for you?"
"It's been a long time. I can't remember it clearly."
"Think about it carefully."
Old Zhang frowned and thought for a while. "It should be a man."
"How old is he?"
"Quite young. I can't tell how old he is."
"Take a look and see if it's the person in the photo." Han Bin took out a photo and handed it to Old Zhang for identification.
Old Zhang took the photo and looked at it carefully. His forehead frowned. "It looks like it. I can't tell if it's him or not."
"Think about it carefully," Li Hui said.
"He seemed to be wearing a hat that day." Old Zhang said as he covered Li Hanxuan's hair in the photo and nodded. "Yes, it should be him."
"Take a good look."
"It can't be wrong," Old Zhang said.
"Did you make a key for him?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes."
Han Bin took out another photo. "Look at the key in this photo. Is it the same as the key in this photo?"
Old Zhang glanced at the photo. "Yes, it's this key. People might not remember, but I can recognize this key."
"Does this man have a companion?"
"I didn't see him."
"Where did he come from and where did he go?" Han Bin asked.
"I didn't notice that."
"Do you know when he came to make the key?"
"I can't remember."
"Do you have an account book? Help us check it," Han Bin said.
"I'm the only one in this shop. It'll take a lot of effort to make an account book. You should check it yourself. I really can't remember." Old Zhang was a little impatient.
Han Bin took out a business card and placed it on the counter. "Uncle Zhang, this is my business card. If you remember anything, you can call me."
"I'm already so old. It's not bad that I can think of this." After Old Zhang said that, he changed the topic and asked, "Do you want to repair your watch and make a key?"
"There's no need for that for the time being," Han Bin said.
"Then you can go. I should get to work." Old Zhang waved his hand and looked like he was sending the guests off.
After Han Bin and Li Hui left the shop, Li Hui revealed a look of excitement. "I knew it. This brat isn't a good person."
Han Bin shook his head and laughed. "What are you so excited about?"
Li Hui pointed at his eyes. "No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't escape the hunter's eyes!"
