"Who killed the dog?" Li Hui asked.
Li Weina looked aggrieved. "I didn't see it."
"Where were you then?"
"I met an acquaintance. We were talking at the entrance of the community. It ran to the green belt to play. When I heard the dog barking and rushed over, it was already killed."
"Why didn't you leash your dog?" Han Bin questioned.
"This is a puppy, Teddy."
"It doesn't matter how big or small it is. Anyone who bites can get rabies."
"My dog doesn't bite," Li Weina retorted.
"It'll be too late if it bites someone."
"It's just a vaccination. I'll pay for it," Li Weina said indifferently.
"Is that a matter of money?" Han Bin said coldly.
"It's my fault that I didn't leash it, but you can't kill my dog."
"Yes, a dog also has a life. It's too cruel to kill it." An old man who was walking his dog on a leash came over to watch.
Some owners who owned dogs agreed with him.
Those who didn't have dogs looked on coldly, showing a look of schadenfreude.
It wasn't that they were cruel, but that some dog owners were too uncivilized.
Li Weina was a typical example.
Many owners didn't dare to walk in the community at night. The light was dim and they would accidentally step on dog poop. It was infuriating.
They couldn't find anyone to reason with, so they could only be angry.
Han Bin didn't object to raising dogs, but it should be civilized.
"Have you and your dog had any conflicts with anyone recently?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes," Li Weina answered very quickly. "I've long suspected that it was him."
"Who? Why did they have conflicts?"
"His name is Wei Mingzhe. He's also a owner of this community. Some time ago, my dog accidentally bit his mother. His mother refused to come out of the hospital and asked me for tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses. Don't you think it's a scam?"
"Was it a heavy bite?"
"How strong can a puppy be? It only broke the skin. I gave him five hundred yuan for the vaccination. It's not a small amount, but he just won't let it go." The more Li Weina spoke, the angrier she became. It seemed that she was quite reasonable.
"Do you have Wei Mingzhe's contact information?"
"I'll never forget it." Li Weina snorted, took out her phone, searched for a moment, and read, "138 XXXX …"
Han Bin dialed the number, and a man's voice came from the other side. "Who is it?"
"I'm a policeman. Are you Wei Mingzhe?" Han Bin asked.
"It's me." The man responded, "Are you really a policeman? Are you a liar?"
"We are currently investigating a case of intentional damage to private property. We hope you can assist us in our investigation."
Wei Mingzhe retorted, "Officer, are you mistaken? I didn't steal or rob. How did I damage private property?"
"Do you know Li Weina?"
"Yes."
"Her family's dog was killed, and the body is in the green belt. She suspects that you did it, and she wants you to come downstairs to help with the investigation."
"It's just a dead dog. Why would the police care?" Wei Mingzhe snorted.
"According to Article 275 of the Criminal Law, intentional damage to public or private property involving a large amount or other serious circumstances will be sentenced to up to three years in prison, criminal detention, or a fine. Intentional damage to public or private property involving a large amount or other serious circumstances will be sentenced to three to seven years in prison. "
Han Bin used the law to explain the seriousness of the matter. "Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. If you help with the investigation, you can be given a lighter sentence."
"You … Wait a moment, I'll go down now." Wei Mingzhe's voice was a little weak.
A few minutes later, a man hurriedly ran to the green belt.
Li Weina's eyes reddened when she saw him, and she cursed, "Wei Mingzhe, you bastard, why did you kill my Zizai?"
"I didn't kill him," Wei Mingzhe shouted.
"Calm down, we're here to take care of business. Don't cause trouble, understand?" Han Bin's face was cold.
As a policeman, Han Bin still had some authority. Li Weina and Wei Mingzhe only glared at each other, but there was no further conflict.
Han Bin glanced at the man. "You're Wei Mingzhe?"
"I am."
"What conflict did you have with Li Weina?" Han Bin wouldn't believe Li Weina's side of the story.
She had just said that her dog didn't bite people, but now this happened. How could Han Bin believe her?
"This woman doesn't leash her dog and let it run around the neighborhood. A few days ago, my mom went to buy groceries, and her dog chased after her on her way back. It bit my mom and chased after her relentlessly, pouncing on her and injuring her. She had to be treated in the hospital for a long time."
"Nonsense, how could such a small dog pounce on an adult?" Li Weina said.
"My mom is seventy this year, and her legs aren't very agile. How can she compare to a young person?" Wei Mingzhe questioned.
"She fell on her own. What does it have to do with my Zizai?" Li Weina argued.
"How can you be so unreasonable? Who raises a dog like you? You throw a few hundred yuan after it bites someone. Who needs that kind of money?" Wei Mingzhe was even more annoyed.
"Officer, look at his fierce face. He must have killed my dog," Li Weina shouted, jumping up and down.
Han Bin roughly understood the situation. It was a conflict caused by a dog.
Although it wasn't a big deal, he had already called the police, so it had to be solved.
"Wei Mingzhe, come here. I have a few questions for you."
The two walked to the side, and Wei Mingzhe asked, "Officer, what's the matter?"
Han Bin looked him up and down. "Did you kill the dog?"
"No." Wei Mingzhe blinked.
"I just asked the security guard. There are no cameras in the green belt, so there's no way to see the person who killed the dog. However, the roads around the green belt, the front and back doors of the neighborhood, and the apartment buildings have surveillance cameras." Han Bin pointed at the surveillance cameras on the road and analyzed.
"If the person who killed the dog entered the green belt with a weapon, then the surveillance cameras on the side of the road are likely to capture it."
"Why are you telling me this?" Wei Mingzhe's voice was a little hoarse.
"It's not a big deal to kill the dog. I guess the person who killed the dog didn't take it too seriously. Maybe he just threw the weapon away, either in the trash can or in the green belt. However, there are fingerprints and blood on it. As long as we check it, we can find the person who killed the dog."
"I really didn't kill the dog." Wei Mingzhe blinked again.
Everyone behaves differently when it comes to lying.
Some people liked to touch their noses, some would repeat the question, and some liked to blink when they were nervous or lying.
Wei Mingzhe's behavior made Han Bin even more suspicious.
Han Bin carefully observed Wei Mingzhe, trying to break through his psychological defense.
"There are two outcomes to this case. First, if you did it, you can directly confess. As long as you plead guilty and have a good attitude, you can be given a lighter punishment. If the mediation is successful, you won't even be punished."
"Second, if you didn't do it, we will change the direction of the investigation. We will collect evidence, check fingerprints, check the surveillance cameras, and do a DNA test. This will waste the police force and taxpayers' money."
Han Bin's eyes were sharp. He stared at Wei Mingzhe and warned, "I've already explained the consequences. Think about it yourself."
