"Sob, sob …"
Lin Yuejiao was still crying.
Han Bin and the other two waited quietly at the side. None of them comforted her.
There was no point in comforting her.
Anyone who encountered this kind of thing would be depressed.
The best way was to let Lin Yuejiao vent her emotions.
Lin Yuejiao's crying soon attracted the attention of the employees in the shop.
Especially since there were three unfamiliar men in the room, the employees thought that something bad had happened to their boss.
A few employees opened the door and barged in. They saw Han Bin and the other two standing or sitting at the side while Lin Yuejiao sat alone on the sofa and cried. The employees were confused.
"Boss Lin, what happened? Why are you crying? "The leading female employee wore a manager's badge.
"Sob, sob …" Lin Yuejiao continued crying and didn't respond at all.
"You guys can leave first. Let Boss Lin cry for a while and everything will be fine, "Han Bin said.
"Officer, what's going on? Why is Boss Lin crying? "the female manager asked.
"Boss Lin's family is involved in a case. I can't tell you anything else. You guys can leave first." Han Bin started to chase them away.
The female manager turned around and waved her hand at her colleagues. "You guys can leave first. I'll stay here with Boss Lin."
Han Bin didn't refuse.
Then, the female employees left. The female manager stayed by Lin Yuejiao's side.
Ten minutes later, Lin Yuejiao gradually accepted the situation. Her crying gradually became softer. With red and swollen eyes, she choked and said, "Where's my daughter? I want to see her."
"At the branch office."
"Let's go. I want to see her, dead or alive." Lin Yuejiao's tears fell uncontrollably.
Faced with this situation, Han Bin was also helpless. On one hand, he sympathized with the victims and their families. On the other hand, Lin Yuejiao was in such a state that he couldn't ask her more about the case in a short time.
She was too emotional right now. Even if he asked, she might not tell him. Even if she told him, it might not be accurate.
He had to let her calm down first.
Half an hour later, Han Bin and the others returned to Yuhua Branch Office.
Han Bin asked Tian Li to take Lin Yuejiao to identify the body while the others checked the surveillance cameras near the car theft.
Han Bin poured himself a cup of tea and sat at the table. Just as he was about to check the surveillance, his WeChat beeped.
Zeng Ping's WeChat message was simple: "Come to my office."
Han Bin got up and moved his shoulders. He told Li Hui and Zhao Ming, "Check the surveillance footage. I'm going out for a while."
After saying that, Han Bin walked out of Team Two's office with his teacup.
Han Bin strolled around until he reached the office of the Squadron Leader of the Criminal Investigation Team 3. Before he knocked on the door, he saw Zeng Ping walking over from behind. One of his hands was holding a black briefcase, and the other was holding a bag.
"Captain Zeng, did you just come back?"
Zeng Ping nodded and opened the office door. "Let's talk inside."
"What's the matter? Why did you call me over so urgently?"
Zeng Ping placed the briefcase and the bag on the desk. "The snowman case has been investigated."
"Is it related to the case we're investigating now?"
"After Wu Xia found the genetic material from the victim's body, she informed me. The snowman case also found genetic material in the victim's body. I informed the technical team to compare the two and found that the DNA matches perfectly. The murderer of the two cases is the same person, so we can investigate them together. "
"Where was the snowman case committed?"
Zeng Ping took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Han Bin. "Leiping City."
Leiping City was a county-level city. Like Gaocheng, it was one of the three major cities in Qindao.
Han Bin took out a lighter and lit Zeng Ping's cigarette. "The snowman case was investigated by Leiping City's Criminal Investigation Unit?"
Zeng Ping took a drag and said slowly, "At first, it was investigated by Leiping City's Criminal Investigation Unit Two. Later, because the case couldn't be solved for a long time, it was handed over to Qindao City's Criminal Investigation Unit One. However, because the murderer left little evidence and missed the best time to solve the case, the case has never been solved. "
"Then what does the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit want?"
"Knowing that the snowman murderer committed another crime, the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit also wants to participate in the investigation."
"How do I participate?" Han Bin asked.
Zeng Ping flicked the cigarette ash. "The Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit and Yuhua Branch's Criminal Investigation Unit will form a joint task force."
"Then who will be in charge?"
"The Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit is directly under the Municipal Bureau, and they're supposed to guide the case. If there's a disagreement in the case, they'll definitely be in charge."
"In other words, if the case is really solved, it'll be the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit that gets the most credit."
"If the case can't be solved, the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit will bear the brunt of the responsibility. They're too big." Zeng Ping didn't answer directly, but he indirectly admitted it.
"What if we don't let the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit participate?"
"I've already brought the file for the snowman case. If we don't want to form a joint task force, we'll investigate the case ourselves. If we can't solve the case, we'll be responsible," Zeng Ping said.
Han Bin didn't answer immediately. He thought about the pros and cons.
In fact, the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team also proposed a plan, which was for Yuhua Branch to directly transfer the case to the Municipal Bureau, and the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team would handle the case independently, but Ceng Ping directly rejected it.
"Brother Bin, what do you think?"
Han Bin shrugged. "You're the boss, you make the decision."
"Nonsense, of course I make the decision. I'm asking for your opinion now," Zeng Ping snorted.
"The Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit is a brother unit, and I believe that they're all veterans in the field. But every team, and even every team, has their own style of handling cases. I don't want to be led by the nose," Han Bin said.
People always change. What they do determines what they do.
In the past, Han Bin was just an ordinary police officer. He listened to his superiors, so it didn't matter.
Now, he was independent, and Zeng Ping trusted him very much, giving him the maximum freedom to investigate cases. Han Bin's style of handling cases was also gradually forming.
It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.
Unless it was his direct superior, Han Bin didn't want anyone to interfere with his work.
Zeng Ping nodded. He understood Han Bin's thoughts. "Is there any progress on the case?"
"We can basically confirm that the victim's identity is Xue Mengjiao."
"What about clues about the murderer?"
"We brought back the surveillance video near the Audi, and we're looking for suspicious people who appeared nearby."
"We have to hurry. We can't solve the case with just these clues," Zeng Ping said.
"Captain Zeng, what do you think? Do you want to work with the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit to solve the case? "Han Bin probed.
"I'll think about it. Take the case file and compare it with Xue Mengjiao's murder case. See if there are any new discoveries."
"Understood." Han Bin said goodbye and left the office.
…
Just as Han Bin walked to the door of Team Two's office, he heard sobbing coming from inside.
Lin Yuejiao had already identified the body and returned to Team Two's office.
Other than Lin Yuejiao, Tian Li had returned as well.
Han Bin didn't say anything, but he cast a questioning gaze at Tian Li.
Tian Li nodded slightly.
Han Bin sighed. "Madam Lin, my condolences."
Lin Yuejiao wiped her tears. "I just want to know who killed my daughter. I won't let them go …"
"The police are also investigating. I hope you can provide us with some valuable clues."
"My mind is in a mess, and I don't know what's valuable."
"How about this, we'll give you a statement. You'll answer whatever we ask you."
Lin Yuejiao nodded.
Zhao Ming turned on the law enforcement recorder, and Han Bin asked, "Name, age …"
"Lin Yuejiao, 42 years old …"
"What's your relationship with Xue Mengjiao?"
"Xue Mengjiao is my daughter."
"Do you know that Xue Mengjiao is missing?"
"I don't."
"You didn't live together?"
"My husband and I separated. When she left the day before yesterday, she said that she was going to stay with her father for a few days, so I didn't think too much about it. I thought …" Lin Yuejiao's tears fell again.
"That white Audi belongs to your husband?"
"Yes."
"Who usually drives it?"
"My daughter got a driver's license after she went to university, so she drove the white Audi. Her father bought a new Mercedes-Benz. If I had known, I'd rather she didn't get a driver's license." Lin Yuejiao revealed a regretful expression.
"Has there been anything strange about your daughter recently?"
"Ever since my husband and I moved to the police station, my daughter has become a bit rebellious. She often loses her temper and quarrels with me. She wasn't like this before. The morning before yesterday, we even quarreled. I really regret it. If I hadn't quarreled with her, she wouldn't have left, and she wouldn't have …"
"Why did you two quarrel?"
"Recently, she often comes home late, and sometimes she drinks. I only said a few words to her, but she told me to leave her alone, so we quarreled. Actually … it's just a small matter. This kind of thing shouldn't have happened …"
"Did your separation from your husband affect her a lot?"
"Yes."
"She always thought that her father and I were very loving and that our family of three was very happy. After she graduated from high school, her father and I separated. She was very angry. Nowadays, children are exposed to a lot of things. She heard that some parents will stay together for the sake of their children's studies even if they don't have feelings for each other. Once their children get into university, they will divorce."
Lin Yuejiao revealed a bitter expression, and her voice was a bit hoarse. "She thought that her father and I had the same thoughts. She felt that she had been deceived and that the happiness she had before was fake. This was a big blow to her. If I could … I …"
Lin Yuejiao was too sad to say the rest of her words.
"Do you know where Xue Mengjiao's father is?"
"I don't know."
"What does he do?"
"He's the president of Kaifeng Bank on Yingbin Road."
"We've located his phone, and it shows that he's out of town."
"It's the end of the year. He might have gone to the provincial bank for a meeting. In the past … in the past, it was like this."
Han Bin changed the topic. "Does your daughter have any enemies?"
"No. My daughter has always been kind to people and rarely has conflicts with others." After saying that, Lin Yuejiao was stunned. She wanted to say something but stopped. "But … she was once followed."
