Guojiazhuang village committee meeting room.
"I don't remember. A few days ago."
"What do you mean?"
"Ninety percent."
First of all, the footprint identification was done by Han Bin. Only he knew whether it was accurate or not. He was more suitable to be the main interrogator, and he had more confidence in his questions.
"When it's time to tell you, we'll tell you. Are you interrogating us, or are we interrogating you?"
"Officer, I still have a dad at home. He's waiting for me to go back and cook. I'm afraid he'll be hungry."
"When was the last time you went to Guo Xinfeng's house?"
"You two sleep in the same room?"
Han Bin took a look. It was a WeChat message from Ma Jingbo. It said that under Lu Yuejiang's stove, they found the stolen items. There was a large amount of change, as well as the owner's gold and silver jewelry. There were blood stains in the gaps between the jewelry.
"Name, gender, age …" Han Bin asked again.
Ding Xifeng had also considered the arrangement of interrogators.
Han Bin lowered his head to study the footprints.
"His house is on the east side of Guojiazhuang Village. Fucheng Village is also on the east side of Guojiazhuang Village. Although it's two different villages, it's very close to our house. Furthermore, their supermarket has a full range of products. Cigarettes and alcohol are cheap. Everyone loves going there."
"What did you guys do?"
"Then think. Think until you remember." Han Bin leaned back in his chair and took a sip of tea. He looked unhurried.
The five suspects were all of the same height, body shape, age, and walking posture. Even those who had studied the identification of footprints would have a hard time distinguishing them.
Han Bin was one of them.
"The same shoes, worn by different people, will leave different footprints. This has been scientifically verified. It's useless even if you don't admit it."
"It doesn't matter. I just went to their supermarket to buy something."
"Continue thinking!"
Han Bin knew the details of the other party, but it was still necessary to ask.
"Sure."
"Do you think so many police officers are joking with you and will interrogate you without any evidence?" Han Bin asked.
Lu Yuejiang glanced at Han Bin, then looked at Ding Xifeng and Sha Pingwei, and then lowered his head to fiddle with his fingers. A full five minutes passed.
Lu Yuejiang kept saying "Ah", which made him sound like an honest and ignorant person, but Han Bin could feel that he was intentionally disrupting the police's questioning.
"What can I do? My father is used to sleeping early. He goes to bed at nine o 'clock."
Ma Jingbo also took a look at the shoe print and frowned. "How sure are you that he's the suspect?"
Then, he carefully compared the fifth shoe print with the suspect's.
This was a compulsory course for the police.
Sha Pingwei turned on the law enforcement recorder, and Han Bin routinely asked, "Name, gender, age …"
Some people wore leather shoes, while others wore casual shoes. Different shoes would leave different footprints, which would increase the difficulty of identification.
Han Bin took out the suspect's footprints from the crime scene. "Take a look yourself. Are these your footprints? Are they stained with blood?"
Hum … Just then, Ding Xifeng's phone rang.
However, through the interrogation just now, it was confirmed that Lu Yuejiang didn't have an alibi. This was a very important point.
"I don't think I need to remind you what you're hiding at home, right?" Ding Xifeng said as he passed the phone to Han Bin.
Lu Yuejiang smiled. "I remember my age before I was thirty, but after that, I didn't pay much attention to it. Furthermore, whether you're asking about the nominal age or the actual age, I can't even remember it."
Another two minutes passed, and Lu Yuejiang took a deep breath. "That … I remember now. I was at home that night."
"Then think about it. We have plenty of time tonight. If you want to go home early, cooperate with the police."
"You're saying that you've never been to Guo Xinfeng's backyard?"
"No. His supermarket is right in front. Why would I go to his backyard?"
Han Bin didn't continue to argue and changed the topic. "Lu Yuejiang, do you know Guo Xinfeng?"
With the bloodied goods and murder weapon, it was useless even if Lu Yuejiang didn't confess. It could be said that the evidence was irrefutable!
Hearing this, Lu Yuejiang's expression changed.
Han Bin, Ding Xifeng, and Sha Pingwei sat on the west side of the conference table.
Han Bin studied these five shoe prints for more than forty minutes. First, he used the elimination method to check four shoe prints.
Sha Pingwei knocked on the table. "You're from Fucheng Village. Why did you go to his supermarket?"
"On New Year's Day, from ten to twelve o 'clock, where were you?" Han Bin continued with the previous question.
"I already said that I don't remember."
"Yes."
"Impossible."
"What's there to be afraid of? There are many shoes like this, and there are even more people who wear shoes like this. How can you say that it's my shoe print?" Lu Yuejiang retorted loudly.
Before Han Bin finished, Lu Yuejiang immediately retorted, "I'm not. Don't frame me. You want to use a shoe print to convict me? Who are you trying to scare?"
"What's your relationship with him?"
"You police can't just randomly arrest people, right?"
Seeing that there was a group of people in the room, Ding Xifeng was afraid that it would affect Han Bin's investigation, so he asked the other team members to leave first.
Han Bin did not continue to ask other questions. He waited for the other party to answer. He took a few sips of tea and lit a cigarette.
Only Han Bin, Ding Xifeng, and Ma Jingbo were left in the room.
"Which one?"
Only a small number of people could reach the threshold of an expert in this skill.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
Ma Jingbo looked at his phone. It was already seven o 'clock at night. Just as he was getting impatient, Han Bin finally spoke.
Han Bin made a note in his notebook. Lu Yuejiang did not have an alibi, so his suspicion had increased.
Wasn't it just a waste of time?
"Why are you afraid?"
Ding Xifeng thought for a moment and asked Ma Jingbo, "Do you have detailed information on Lu Yuejiang?"
At the same time, a machete was found under Lu Yuejiang's pillow. It matched the murder weapon used to kill Guo Xinfeng's family. After preliminary identification by the forensics team, it was found to have been stained with human blood.
"What do you mean thirty-eight? Do you still know how old you are?" Sha Pingwei questioned.
Ding Xifeng glanced at Han Bin. If you suspect someone, don't use him. Since the investigation had already reached this point, he could only continue.
"Ahem …" Lu Yuejiang cleared his throat. "Officer, I really can't remember that night. Why don't you change the question?"
"Who can prove it?"
Another point was that the suspect wore rubber-soled shoes to commit the crime, but none of the five suspects were wearing rubber-soled shoes today.
"Hehe."
"The shoe print is yours, the blood is Guo Xinfeng's, and you were at the scene when the murderer killed him. In other words, you are probably the murderer …"
Ding Xifeng took Lu Yuejiang's shoe print and realized that he was wearing leather shoes. Although he knew a little about identifying footprints, it was beyond his ability. He asked directly, "Are you sure?"
"Don't worry, our comrades will take care of your father. They won't let him go hungry." Then, Ding Xifeng took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Ma Jingbo, asking him to buy something to eat for Lu Yuejiang's father.
"I don't understand what you mean."
Then, Ding Xifeng asked someone to interrogate Lu Yuejiang.
"My father."
"Do you have a suspect?"
Lu Yuejiang was brought to the conference room and sat on the east side of the table. There was a criminal police officer standing behind him.
Han Bin jotted it down in his notebook and continued to ask, "Where were you from ten to twelve on New Year's Day?"
"Your father's food problem has been solved. Let's talk about you."
Han Bin pointed at one of the documents. "The fifth suspect, Lu Yuejiang."
"Since we arrested you, we naturally have a reason."
Five minutes later.
"Officer, what kind of situation could I have? I'm just an ordinary citizen." Lu Yuejiang looked confused.
"My name is Lu Yuejiang, a rough man. I'm thirty-seven or eight this year."
"Yes." Ma Jingbo answered. As soon as he walked out of the room, he shouted, "Team Two, follow me."
It was difficult to gain the trust of his subordinates.
Ding Xifeng and Ma Jingbo sat across the table, smoking cigarettes. One for you, one for me, and the other for you. It was a beautiful scene.
"What's the reason? Show me." Lu Yuejiang rubbed his nose.
"People have three needs."
"Officer, I've already walked the model steps. Why are you looking for me?" Lu Yuejiang looked nervous.
"I don't even have a woman. It's already so late. Who can stay with me all the time?" Lu Yuejiang sighed.
"How about this? Han Bin and I will be in charge of interrogating Lu Yuejiang. You bring some people to search Lu Yuejiang's house."
"No matter how anxious you are, you won't be able to make him bleed."
"Didn't you say that you've never been to his backyard?"
Although it sounded a bit utilitarian, this was the truth of life. It was the same everywhere. No industry was immune.
Ma Jingbo walked to the side and found a document. "Thirty-eight years old, 176cm tall, walks with a slanted figure. Villager from Fucheng Village. Divorced. Living with his father."
"I can't remember."
"So, during this time, no one saw you at home?"
"Then why did we find your footprints in his backyard?"
"The results are out."
Han Bin flipped open the notebook. "Answer whatever I ask you. I'll tell you what you need to know."
"Maybe I stepped on them when I went to the toilet."
"Did you go to his backyard?"
Lu Yuejiang's refusal to admit was within Han Bin's expectations. After all, if he admitted to this case, it would be a capital offense. It would be strange if he admitted to it easily.
Lu Yuejiang glanced at it and revealed a shocked expression. He couldn't help but shiver.
Secondly, Sha Pingwei was from the city's criminal investigation team. Even if the credit for catching the suspect was given to Han Bin, he couldn't let it go to his own people. After all, even if there was no credit, there was still hard work.
Who was afraid of who?
There were three people in charge of the interrogation: Han Bin, Ding Xifeng, and Sha Pingwei from Team One and Team Two of the city's criminal investigation team.
Ding Xifeng took out his phone and smiled. "When I was interrogating you, I had already sent people to search your house."
"Yes." Han Bin heaved a sigh of relief and stretched his body.
"From ten to twelve on New Year's Day, your father was with you the whole time?"
