Inside Yu Hua Branch's cafeteria.
Han Bin and Zheng Kaixuan sat at the same table.
They ordered three dishes and a bowl of soup each.
They talked about the case as they ate.
"Captain Zheng, is there any progress with the city's investigation team?"
Zheng Kaixuan drank a mouthful of the winter gourd meatball soup and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't ask anymore."
"We haven't found anything yet. I'm just not confident," Han Bin smiled.
"That doesn't sound like you," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"The people in the entertainment industry are all sly and don't say anything sincere. Take this Ma Pengkun for example. I feel like he's hiding something, but I don't know much about the entertainment industry, so I don't know what's wrong with him," Han Bin said.
"Don't rush. Calm down and take it slow." Zheng Kaixuan comforted her and introduced, "In the morning, I went to the city's Criminal Investigation Unit to take a look. They have already found out the identity of the car owner, but they have not found the owner's current address."
"Who's the owner?"
"The owner's name is Lv Shujun. He's a local with a criminal record of burglary and provocation. He might be involved in the kidnapping and murder of Guo Jiahui," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"As expected of the city's investigation team. They're quite efficient," Han Bin praised.
"This Lv Shujun is also a repeat offender. He has a certain level of anti-reconnaissance awareness. After committing the crime, it is very likely that he has already absconded. Catching him will not be an easy task," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Did you find anyone else involved in the case?" Han Bin asked.
"When I came back, the city's criminal investigation team was splitting up to investigate. I'm guessing there will be news soon." Zheng Kaixuan also took the opportunity to remind Han Bin, "You should pay more attention, kid."
"Look at what you're saying, how can that be?"
After lunch, they returned to Team Two's office and ran into Li Hui and Tian Li.
"Did you catch him?" Han Bin asked.
"We've caught him and locked him up in the detention room."
"Good job. You guys go eat first, I'll bring some people to interrogate Mu Xinran," Han Bin said.
"Brother Bin, I'll go too," Li Hui said eagerly.
"Aren't you hungry?"
Li Hui rubbed his hands together. "Work is more important. There's no hurry to eat."
Han Bin smiled. How could he not know what he was thinking? He glanced at his watch and said, "I'll give you half an hour to eat. After that, we'll interrogate Mu Xinran."
"Okay," Li Hui replied and hurriedly ran off to eat.
Han Bin, on the other hand, took the opportunity to rest on the table.
This was also his habit. He would take a half-hour nap after a meal so that he would be more energetic in the afternoon.
…
Half an hour later.
In the interrogation room.
This was the second time that Mu Xinran had come to the interrogation room, but the last time was to make a statement, so the treatment was excellent.
However, it was different this time. He was being interrogated as a suspect.
Li Hui turned on the law enforcement recorder.
Han Bin went straight to the point. "Mu Xinran, do you know why I called you here?"
"It's a misunderstanding. It should be a misunderstanding."
"Seven out of ten suspects I arrested said it was a misunderstanding. Can you change your story?" Han Bin snorted.
"Officer Han, it's really a misunderstanding. After I found out that I was secretly photographed, I was very nervous and scared. I don't remember what the blackmailer said to me at the time. I didn't mean to lie," Mu Xinran shouted.
"That's a good excuse," Han Bin said.
"It's not an excuse. It's true. I was too nervous at the time and might have remembered wrongly." Mu Xinran sighed and looked at Li Hui. "After Officer Li let me listen to the phone recording again, I completely remembered that I remembered wrongly. The suspect didn't extort money from me."
"I didn't mean to make a false police report. I was really too nervous, that's why I remembered wrongly." Mu Xinran's pitiful look was very convincing.
"Ma Pengkun didn't say that. Do you want him to come forward and testify against you?" Han Bin asked.
"He … What did he say?" Mu Xinran's hands were intertwined.
"What he said is not important. I want to hear the truth. If you don't cooperate with the police investigation and choose to continue lying, it will only make your crime heavier," Han Bin warned.
"I …"
Mu Xinran bit her lips, and tears fell from her cheeks. She choked and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie. I had no other choice. I was too helpless. I had no one I could trust, so I used this method to ask the police for help."
"You were secretly photographed. The police will still accept it. There's no need to lie," Li Hui said.
Mu Xinran showed a bitter smile. "How can they accept it? The police station is responsible for the secretly photographed case, not the criminal police team. My wallet was stolen when I was in college, and it hasn't been found yet."
"Thank you for thinking highly of us. I don't know the ability of our criminal police team. Are you satisfied?" Han Bin asked.
"Satisfied. If you can catch the person behind the scenes, I will be even more satisfied." Mu Xinran sighed.
"We will try our best."
"It's useless even if you try your best. In the face of great benefits, the person who secretly photographed will definitely resist. You won't be able to ask the person behind the scenes." Mu Xinran shook her head.
"So, what are you going to do?" Han Bin asked.
Mu Xinran shrugged. "I'll leave it to fate."
Han Bin stared at Mu Xinran for a while. "Jiang Erkang's wife, Guo Jiahui, was killed. Do you know that?"
Mu Xinran asked, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Aren't you curious about how and why she died?" Li Hui interrupted.
"I only care about when I can release her."
Han Bin stared at her expression, but he couldn't tell if she really didn't care or if she already knew the answer in advance.
"I talked to Ma Pengkun. He thinks that the person behind the scene who secretly photographed you is likely to be in the same industry as you." Han Bin stood up and placed a document in front of Mu Xinran. "This is the list of suspects. What do you think?"
Mu Xinran picked up the list and glanced at it. The right corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
This was a typical expression of contempt.
It wasn't easy to capture a valuable micro-expression. At this moment, Han Bin thought a lot.
Why would Mu Xinran show a look of contempt? Could it be that she already knew the identity of the person behind the scenes, but the name of the person wasn't on the list?
Or did she feel that Ma Pengkun was hiding something and didn't tell her the truth?
…
With this doubt, after interrogating Mu Xinran, Han Bin interrogated Ma Pengkun again.
"Officer Han, when can my case be closed?" Ma Pengkun probed.
Han Bin ignored him and slapped the list on the interrogation table. "Other than the people on this list, are there any other suspects?"
Ma Pengkun thought for a moment. "No."
Han Bin stared at him and couldn't see any problems, so he decided to bluff him.
Bang! Han Bin slammed the table and scolded, "You still dare to lie? If you aren't willing to cooperate with the police, then I can only summon your company's artists."
"No, no, I said …" Ma Pengkun panicked and gritted his teeth. "And Zhen Yuwei!"
