Just then, Zheng Kaixuan arrived at the scene with two members of the first team.
Zeng Ping went up to them. "Captain Zheng, did you get the search warrant?"
"I've brought the warrant and warrant. I was afraid that you wouldn't have enough manpower, so I called in two members of the second team."
"Captain Zheng is really thoughtful."
Zheng Kaixuan nodded and walked to Liu Zhixin. "Are you Liu Zhixin?"
"That's me."
"Do you know why we arrested you?" Zheng Kaixuan sized him up.
"I don't know."
"You're quite stubborn."
Liu Zhixin glared at him. "You arrested the wrong person. I'm just a cook."
"Officer, you must have arrested the wrong person. My husband is a dutiful man. How could he kill someone?" Liu Zhixin's wife reached out and grabbed Zheng Kaixuan's arm.
Zeng Ping looked at his watch. "Captain Zheng, let's not waste time. Let's start the search."
"Where does Liu Zhixin usually stay?"
"I'll stay in the hotel," Han Bin said.
After understanding the situation, Zheng Kaixuan began to assign tasks. "Han Bin, you and Li Hui bring the suspect back for interrogation."
"Tian Li, you bring Liu Zhixin's wife back to the police station to assist in the investigation."
"The rest of you, search!"
"Yes," everyone answered and went their separate ways.
…
Back at the police station.
Han Bin collected Liu Zhixin's DNA and sent it for comparison.
Then, Liu Zhixin was brought to the interrogation room.
Han Bin was the interrogator while Li Hui took notes.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"Liu Zhixin, male, 36 years old …"
"Liu Zhixin, July 22nd at 11 pm. Where were you?" Han Bin asked.
"In the restaurant." Liu Zhixin rubbed his nose.
"Who can prove it?"
"My wife."
"Is there anyone else?"
"No."
"July 23rd. Why didn't the noodle house open?"
"I wasn't feeling well that day, so I rested for a day."
"Do you know Sun Qifeng?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes."
"What's your relationship?"
"Fellow townsman."
"Do you know he's dead?" Han Bin asked.
"I don't know. When did it happen?" Liu Zhixin looked surprised.
Astonishment was short-lived and disappeared in an instant.
It wouldn't last for a long time unless something surprising happened one after another. Otherwise, after a surprised expression appeared, it would immediately return to its original expression or show other expressions. It wouldn't last for a long time.
Liu Zhixin's astonished expression remained on his face.
Han Bin used the micro-expression analysis method to know that the other party was pretending.
"Liu Zhixin, since we've arrested you, we have enough evidence. I hope you'll cooperate," Han Bin warned.
"Officer, you asked a question and I answered a question. Is that not cooperation?" Liu Zhixin snorted.
"You've been lying since the beginning of the interrogation. Is this called cooperation?" Han Bin said coldly.
"Do you have any evidence to say that I'm lying?" Liu Zhixin stared at him, unconvinced.
Knock knock. Outside the interrogation room, there was a knock on the door.
Then, the door opened. Zeng Ping stood at the door and signaled Han Bin to go over.
"Keep an eye on him," Han Bin said and left the interrogation room.
"Captain Zeng, did you find anything from the noodle house?" Han Bin asked. If they could find the money and tools, Liu Zhixin wouldn't be able to deny it.
"No." Zeng Ping sighed and pointed at the interrogation room. "How is it on your side?"
"He refused to confess. He's very stubborn."
"Liu Zhixin's wife is the same. She refused to confess anything," Zeng Ping said.
"We can only hope that the dandruff extracted from Sun Qifeng's nails can be successfully compared with Liu Zhixin's DNA."
According to the regulations, footprints could only be used as the basis for investigation and not as conclusive evidence.
"Don't disclose it before there's any results," Zeng Ping said.
"Yes."
Then, Han Bin returned to the interrogation room …
The interrogation continued for a few more hours. No matter what Han Bin and Li Hui said, Liu Zhixin still refused to confess.
The interrogation ended at eleven o 'clock at night.
Han Bin and Li Hui went home to rest.
…
The next morning.
Criminal Investigation Team Three, Team Two's office.
Zeng Ping gathered everyone for a morning meeting.
"Han Bin, did you make any progress with last night's interrogation?"
"No. He refused to confess."
Zeng Ping held a pen and twirled it. "Liu Zhixin's anti-investigation ability is very strong. He thought that the case was flawless. If he was willing to confess so easily, it would be abnormal."
"Then let's put it aside. We can interrogate him after the DNA comparison results are out," Han Bin suggested.
"What about Liu Zhixin's wife?"
"She still refused to confess," Tian Li said helplessly.
"Liu Zhixin's wife must know something. At the very least, she's guilty of covering up and perjury," Li Hui analyzed.
Zeng Ping stood up. "I'll report to Captain Zheng. The higher-ups are very concerned about this matter. You can't let your guard down even if you catch him."
"Yes."
…
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the forensics team sent the DNA comparison results.
Liu Zhixin's DNA matched the dandruff in Sun Qifeng's nails perfectly.
Han Bin and Li Hui interrogated Liu Zhixin again.
"Liu Zhixin, how was your rest last night?"
"Pretty good."
"I hope you can sleep well tonight," Li Hui snorted.
"Officer, you arrested me last night. It's almost been 24 hours. Shouldn't you let me out?" Liu Zhixin smiled and continued, "Although my noodle restaurant isn't that good, I miss it after not seeing it for a day."
"Liu Zhixin, what's your relationship with Sun Qifeng?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? We're from the same hometown."
"How's our relationship?"
"It's alright. He occasionally comes to my noodle restaurant for meals. We're all from the same hometown, so I'll give him a discount."
"Did you see him on the night of July 23rd?" Han Bin asked.
"No."
"Did you two have any conflicts?"
"No."
"Did you have any conflicts?"
"No."
"Did you fight?"
"No."
Han Bin pointed at the camera beside him. "There's a video as evidence. Think carefully before you speak."
"I didn't have any conflicts with him," Liu Zhixin said stubbornly.
Han Bin got up and walked to Liu Zhixin's side. He grabbed his arm. "Where did the scratch on your right wrist come from?"
"Oh, my wife scratched it." Liu Zhixin used his left hand to cover it.
"We found Sun Qifeng's body and extracted the suspect's dandruff from his nails. After a technical comparison, it matches your DNA. How do you explain that?" Han Bin said.
Liu Zhixin was shocked at first, but he quickly hid it. "You don't have to trick me."
"Trick you?" Han Bin sneered. He picked up a document from the table and placed it in front of Liu Zhixin. "Look at it yourself."
Liu Zhixin's hands trembled slightly. He picked up the document and read it. "He's a customer of my noodle restaurant. He often comes here to eat. He might have accidentally scratched me."
"The dandruff from under his nails is not as simple as a scratch. There was a struggle, and the skin was scratched, just like the scar on your right wrist."
"Maybe … I …" Liu Zhixin's forehead was covered with sweat.
Han Bin slammed the table and said sternly, "I asked you just now. You said there was no conflict, no conflict, no fight between you and Sun Qifeng. But the DNA comparison proves that you're lying."
