"Clap, clap …" Han Bin clapped his hands. "Everyone, come here."
Hearing Han Bin's call, everyone gathered around the fake mountain.
"Brother Bin, can we go back now?" Zhao Ming asked.
"How's the deduction going?" Han Bin asked.
"Just as you guessed, it took at least an hour and twenty minutes from taking the first photo to disposing of the body, which means that the suspects should have left after 3.30," Tian Li said.
"Lynch, can you shorten the time of the crime?"
"No, the previous deduction was the shortest time possible," Lynch said.
Han Bin nodded. With this case replay, he felt much more at ease.
No matter how tight the deduction was, it was all talk on paper, and the case replay was a powerful proof of the deduction.
"Reuven just called and found new clues," Han Bin said.
"What new clues?"
"On the afternoon of December 9th, Zhang Daquan and Sun Chuanxi were doing a live broadcast. The broadcast lasted for two hours, so they didn't have time to commit the crime." Han Bin shrugged.
"If they were doing a live broadcast, why would they fake evidence?"
"Because the content of their live broadcast was the same as the content of the video," Han Bin said.
"F * ck," Li Hui said in surprise.
"It's illegal to broadcast this kind of thing." Zhao Ming chuckled.
"That's why they deliberately hid it."
"Since the content of their live broadcast matched the content of the video, they should have a backup of the live broadcast. Why would they shoot a fake video again?" Tian Li was puzzled.
"Sister, a live broadcast requires interaction with the audience," Zhao Ming said with a smile. "For example, if we are doing a live broadcast together, some of the audience will ask us to sit closer or further away. This is all communication, and we'll be exposed."
Tian Li's face turned red, and she pinched Zhao Ming's ear with her right hand. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will twist your ear off."
"Ouch, it hurts. I won't do it again, I won't do it again!" Zhao Ming begged for mercy.
Li Hui said thoughtfully, "First it was Ma Chaoran and Fang Ping. Now it's Zhang Daquan and Sun Chuanxi. This botanical garden is really evil. Why don't I come here for our next date …"
…
At half past six in the evening, Han Bin and the others returned to Yu Hua Branch.
Although Sun Chuanxi and Zhang Daquan had broken the law, they were not suspected of killing Zhang Zihan.
The only clue now was Tian Ruini.
Han Bin went to the botanical garden this time because he wanted to investigate again and see if he could find any clues related to Tian Ruini's case.
However, there were no new discoveries.
At the same time, Tian Ruini didn't have time to commit the crime.
Based on the available evidence, Han Bin speculated that Tian Ruini might be a witness to the case.
But if she was just a witness, why would she flee to avoid punishment?
Tian Li had seen the video of the neighborhood. She hadn't seen Tian Ruini being held hostage, so her departure was shrouded in a layer of mystery.
Zeng Ping had already applied for a warrant for her arrest, requesting assistance from the police from all over the country.
Han Bin rearranged the tasks.
Tian Li and Zhao Ming went to the traffic police surveillance center.
Lynch and Sun Xiaopeng went to the taxi company.
Li Hui went to contact Tian Ruini's family to see if they knew her whereabouts.
Han Bin stayed in the office, looking through all the evidence and files of the case, trying to reorganize the case.
Han Bin poured himself a cup of coffee, lit a cigarette, and stood by the window.
The cold night wind blew on his body. It was cold, but it also made Han Bin more awake.
Han Bin flipped through the information and files from time to time, and picked up a whiteboard pen to write and draw.
He reorganized the case, and at the same time, listed the 9th of December, the time when the case happened.
Sun Chuanxi and Zhang Daquan had been ruled out as the murder suspects. According to their previous statement, they had a conflict with Zhang Zihan after 1: 50 pm, which meant that Zhang Zihan should be fine around 2 pm.
Zhang Zihan uploaded the first cleaning photo at 2: 10 pm. According to the timeline, it should be real, and she was not coerced.
Han Bin followed the timeline and did not find anything missing.
After opening the window for a while, his body was already cold. Han Bin then closed the window and sat back at his desk.
After closing the window, Han Bin stopped smoking and prepared to eat a piece of chewing gum instead.
However, his mind was still thinking about the case. After he unscrewed the gum, he poured it out, and it spilled all over the table.
Life was like this. The more troubled and difficult it was, the easier it was to make mistakes.
At this time, the best way to deal with it was to take a deep breath and calm down.
Han Bin gathered the pieces of chewing gum on the table and put them back into the chewing gum box.
After putting it back, Han Bin was stunned.
Suddenly, there was a scratching feeling in his heart. He seemed to have understood something, but it also felt like there was a layer of paper between them.
Han Bin looked at the chewing gum box again, and then a look of realization appeared on his face.
Han Bin found another box of chewing gum. One was peppermint-flavored, and the other was watermelon-flavored. The two chewing gums looked different too.
Han Bin flipped the two chewing gums upside down and poured them on the table. They were divided into two distinct piles, one red and one green.
It was like two piles of garbage. One was recyclable garbage, and the other was non-recyclable garbage.
Then, Han Bin pushed the two piles of chewing gum in the middle, and the chewing gums were mixed together in a mess.
Their previous speculation about when the suspect left the park was likely wrong.
…
The next morning.
Everyone followed Han Bin's instructions and rushed to the office at eight in the morning.
Han Bin glanced at everyone and went straight to the point. "Last night, I reviewed the case again. Our speculation about when the suspect left the park is likely wrong."
"That can't be. We just reenacted the case yesterday. From cleaning up the garbage to burying the body, one hour and twenty minutes is the shortest time," Tian Li said.
Zhao Ming nodded. He was also one of the main characters in the case reenactment.
"Brother Bin, what time do you think is wrong?" Li Hui asked.
"I think, before Zhang Zihan died, the time to clean up the garbage can be shortened," Han Bin said.
"That big pile of garbage. First, pick it up, then classify it, and then put it into bags. If one person cleaned it, it would take at least an hour. If two people cleaned it, it would take half an hour. If three people cleaned it, it would take more than twenty minutes. I think there should be no problem." Li Hui spread his hands.
They had been very cautious in speculating when the suspect left the park. The shortest time was twenty minutes.
Li Hui couldn't think of any other way to shorten the time.
Zhao Ming frowned and thought for a moment. "Could it be that there are more murderers than two people? But didn't we deny this possibility before?"
Lynch was involved in the case halfway through, so his understanding of the case was not as good as the others. He asked, "Team Leader, how much time do you think we can shorten the time to clean up the garbage?"
"Two minutes," Han Bin said.
"Three sets of photos in only two minutes?" Sun Xiaopeng was surprised.
"That's right."
How was that possible?
Everyone had a doubtful look on their faces.
Han Bin picked up two boxes of chewing gum and put them on the table to take a photo. Then, he inverted the chewing gum into two piles, one red and one green, and took a second photo. Then, he broke up the two piles of chewing gum and took a third photo.
Everyone was stunned for a while when they saw this.
Then, Zhao Ming pointed at the chewing gum on the table and shouted, "Holy sh * t, you can play it like this."
"According to your speculation, taking three sets of photos to clean up the garbage really only took two minutes." Li Hui's jaw dropped.
"Where did the packed garbage come from?"
"It's possible that the botanical garden's cleaners packed it but didn't transport it out of the park in time," Han Bin guessed.
"They cleaned up the garbage under the slogan of environmental protection. Didn't that mean they dumped the garbage?" Tian Li also realized.
"As long as no one saw it, who would know?" Han Bin retorted.
"In other words, the suspect left the park twenty minutes earlier than our previous speculation, which is around 3.10 pm." Li Hui calculated with his fingers.
"If we extrapolate from the new time, Tian Ruini did have the time to commit the crime." Tian Li calculated with her fingers.
Han Bin picked up a piece of chewing gum, put it in his mouth, and chewed. "It's not just Tian Ruini. Ma Chaoran and Fang Ping left the park at 3.17 pm. Both of them are suspects!"
