Yu Hua Branch, Team Two's office.
After returning to the branch, Zhao Ming sent Qin Pingshan's fingerprints to the forensics team and left the shoe prints with Han Bin.
Not long after, Li Hui returned with Sun Xiaopeng. The two of them went to investigate Wang Jinbao.
Han Bin chewed on a piece of gum. "How's Wang Jinbao doing?"
"We found Wang Jinbao's wife and daughter. According to Wang Jinbao's wife, she and Wang Jinbao were divorcing in 2009, but before they could complete the procedures, Wang Jinbao ran away with another woman," Li Hui said.
"What woman?"
"Wang Jinbao's wife doesn't know either. Wang Jinbao left Qin Island around July. After that, he would occasionally send a message, but he didn't even send a message the next year, so they reported him missing," Li Hui said.
"Are there any other clues?"
"According to his wife, when Wang Jinbao left, he took all the money in the family, at least a few hundred thousand yuan. After that, the mother and daughter had a hard time."
"A few hundred thousand yuan? Will the money become a motive for murder? "Han Bin asked.
"We've already collected Wang Jinbao's daughter's DNA. We'll know if the victim is Wang Jinbao after a DNA test," Li Hui said.
After understanding the situation, Han Bin went to Zheng Kaixuan's office.
"Captain Zheng."
"You're back from the investigation?"
"Yes, I was just about to report to you."
Zheng Kaixuan glanced at his watch. "Do you have any plans tonight?"
"No."
"Team Ding will pay attention to this case. Let's have dinner together tonight. You can report to him personally," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Yes," Han Bin answered. He wouldn't give up such a good opportunity.
…
At night, Han Bin, Ding Xifeng, and Zheng Kaixuan had dinner together.
What they ate wasn't important. What was important was who they ate with.
At the dining table, the three of them did not drink. Han Bin briefed Ding Xifeng on the progress of the case.
Ding Xifeng had also been paying attention to this case. After listening to Han Bin's report, he suggested, "Although there's a high chance that Wang Jinbao is the deceased, we still need evidence."
Clearly, Ding Xifeng was traumatized by the fact that he had mistaken the identity of the deceased.
At the table, Ding Xifeng gave a few more instructions, and Han Bin listened attentively. Ding Xifeng was not only a leader, but also an experienced criminal police officer. He had investigated many major cases, and his experience was much richer than Han Bin's.
It was also because of this that he was even more upset about the 715 case.
…
The next morning.
After Han Bin arrived at the office, he started to compare Qin Pingshan's footprints.
Han Bin compared the footprints collected in Lv Jiawei's yard with Qin Pingshan's footprints, but none of them matched.
Not long after, the forensics team also received news that Qin Pingshan's fingerprints did not match the bloody fingerprint.
Cao Erhu, on the other hand, did exist. He was also a native of Qingdao. Before the 715 case, he had served three sentences in prison. He had a criminal record, and his fingerprints did not match the blood fingerprints.
However, one thing was worth noting. Ever since the 715 case, Cao Erhu had not committed any more crimes.
Perhaps he had turned over a new leaf, or perhaps he had other reasons.
Han Bin gathered everyone and rearranged their tasks.
Li Hui and Sun Xiaopeng were in charge of investigating Cao Erhu's whereabouts. Since he was a suspect, it was necessary to make a statement.
Han Bin and Zhao Ming interrogated Lv Jiawei.
Tian Li was in charge of investigating the missing people before and after the 715 case within the public security system.
According to Han Bin's speculation, the murderer of the 715 case should not be the same person …
Twenty minutes later.
Lv Jiawei sat in the interrogation chair, twisted his body, and revealed a fawning expression. "Officer Han, I've said everything I need to say. Do you have any other questions?"
"I remember you said that Liang Zhibo went to your factory to cause trouble."
"Yes."
"Was there anyone else other than him?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes, most of them worked with him. They couldn't work one by one, and they were more proactive when it came to asking for money." Lv Jiawei snorted.
"Was there a person called Cao Erhu among the debt collectors?"
"I only know Liang Zhibo. He was the leader. I really don't know the other names."
"Was there a bald man with a scar on his face?" Han Bin asked.
"A bald man with a scar on his face." Lv Jiawei clenched his hands and tried to recall.
A moment later, Lv Jiawei's eyes lit up. "I remember now. There really was such a person. That kid was very fierce at that time. Aside from Liang Zhibo, his voice was the loudest. There was one time when I would have fought with him if Liang Zhibo hadn't stopped me."
"Do you have any other impressions of this person?"
"This person had a loud voice and was full of profanities. He sounded like a local, but I can't remember anything else," Lv Jiawei said.
Cao Erhu had a criminal record. Zhao Ming took a photo of him and put it in front of Lv Jiawei. "Look, is this the person?"
Lv Jiawei looked down for a while. "I can't remember the specific appearance, but this bald man and scar should be right."
"Think about it carefully. Do you have any other impressions of this Cao Erhu?"
"No."
Han Bin asked a few more questions but couldn't get any more clues. Then, he left the interrogation room.
After returning to the office, Han Bin checked Cao Erhu's file again. According to Lv Jiawei's confession, Cao Erhu's suspicion increased.
Cao Erhu's family was located in Li Nan Village in Qindao City. His parents were dead, and only his brother was alive.
Li Hui and Sun Xiaopeng were also investigating Cao Erhu. However, they went to the telecommunications company to check Cao Erhu's phone records and location.
Han Bin felt that it was necessary to go to Cao Erhu's home.
Then, Han Bin called Zhao Ming and Tian Li to go to Li Nan Village together.
Li Nan Village was about an hour's drive from Qindao City.
Han Bin and the other two went to the nearby police station first. They called a police officer who was familiar with Li Nan Village and drove directly to the village committee.
The village head was a man in his fifties. He invited Han Bin and the others to his house and introduced Cao Erhu's situation.
The village head's surname was Lin, Lin Qingguo. His wife was related to Cao Erhu's family, but they were distant now.
In his words, Cao Erhu had been a gangster since he was young, and fights were common. He didn't even have a good relationship with the neighbors. He could be considered a local ruffian.
Back then, he chased his brother for half the village with a sickle. Their relationship was ruined, and no one in the village dared to mess with him.
Later, Cao Erhu went to the city, but he still had a house in the village. At first, he would come back to the village during festivals, but he hadn't been back in the past ten years.
Han Bin had a pensive look on his face. He hadn't been home for ten years, so there must be something wrong.
Judging from his experience, Cao Erhu must have been involved in a case, and judging from the time he left, it was most likely the 715 case!
