Qiao Dongkai's mother grabbed her son's arm: "Kaizi, tell the truth to the police comrade, do you know a person named Xia Binhai?"
"I don't know a person named Xia Binhai, but …" Qiao Dongkai sighed and forcefully grabbed his hair: "I know the person in the photo."
"His name is Brother Cheng."
"Full name?"
"Xia Yancheng." After Qiao Dongkai answered, he asked back: "Police comrade, what's wrong with him, why are you looking for him?"
"Don't ask why we are looking for him, do you know why we are looking for you?" Han Bin humphed.
"I … I …" Qiao Dongkai wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Hubby, what did you do? Why are the police looking for you? Quickly tell me." Seeing her husband was hiding something from her, Qiao Dongkai's wife became nervous.
"I didn't do anything, I just gave my SIM card to Brother Cheng."
"Why did you give your SIM card to Xia Yancheng?" Han Bin asked.
"I met Brother Cheng when I was working in Spring City. He is a very loyal person. Usually, when we go out to play, he pays for it. At that time, I was young and didn't understand a lot of things, so he took care of me." Qiao Dongkai untied his apron and fell into the past:
"A few years ago, Brother Cheng wanted to open an online shop. One SIM card can only be used to register one account. Brother Cheng sometimes wanted to swipe the bill, so he wanted to register a few more accounts. He wanted to use my SIM card to register. Our relationship has always been good, so when he asked, how could I say no?"
Li Hui asked: "You believe whatever he says?"
"When I was in Spring City, Brother Cheng once borrowed money from me. He said he was short of money and wanted to borrow 5000 yuan from me. He said he would pay me back in half a month. At that time, I was a bit hesitant. What if he didn't pay me back? But at that time, I was young and didn't want to talk to him, so I lent him the money. Later, after a week, he returned the money to me and spent more than 1000 yuan to invite me to go out to play. "
Qiao Dongkai patted his chest and gave a thumbs up: "At that time, I thought, this bro is good!"
Before Han Bin and the others could speak, Qiao Dongkai's wife said with jealousy: "Spending more than 1000 yuan to play, what did you play?"
"Nothing much, just eating, drinking and singing." Qiao Dongkai perfunctorily said.
"Who are you trying to fool? It's been several years since you came back from Spring City. At that time, my monthly salary was only two thousand, but you spent more than one thousand to eat and drink. Are you a pig or do you think I'm stupid?" Qiao Dongkai's wife glared at him and angrily said.
"That's enough. Now is not the time for you and your wife to quarrel." Han Bin waved his hand and continued to ask, "Apart from his name, what else do you know about Xia Yancheng?"
"I have his phone number and WeChat ID."
"Do you know where Xia Yancheng is now?" Han Bin asked.
"I don't know."
"You really don't know?"
"I swear, I really don't know. I haven't seen him in two or three years. We only chat on WeChat occasionally and wish him a happy new year. Sometimes, he sends me a message and gives me a red packet. He says that he's my brother's red packet for me."
"You said you have his phone number. Is it his old phone number?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes, I've kept it. But, but if it didn't get through in these two years."
"You give him a call. See if you can get through to his old phone number."
"This … what should I say after I get through?" Qiao Dongkai was somewhat embarrassed.
"Just say that it's almost Chinese New Year. Do you want to get together at the end of the year and ask him where he is?"
"This …" Qiao Dongkai was somewhat hesitant.
"Don't hesitate. Hurry up and call him." Han Bin urged.
"Officer comrade, what happened to my brother Cheng?"
"We suspect that he's involved in a murder case." Han Bin won't say the details, but he will point out the seriousness of the matter.
"What … murder!" Qiao Dongkai swallowed his saliva.
Qiao Dongkai's mother and wife were also startled.
"Kaizi, you quickly cooperate with the police comrade's investigation. This case is related to human life. You can't joke around." Qiao Dongkai's mother urged.
"Yes, husband. You can't be muddle-headed at this time!" Qiao Dongkai's wife advised.
Qiao Dongkai took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll make the call."
Qiao Dongkai took out his phone, found Xia Yancheng's other phone number, and pressed the call button. A moment later, the phone was connected: "Hello, Brother Cheng."
"Who are you looking for?" A woman's voice came from the phone.
"I'm looking for Brother Cheng." Qiao Dongkai was somewhat nervous.
"Which Brother Cheng? Did you call the wrong number?" The woman on the phone asked.
Qiao Dongkai looked at the phone again: "I'm not mistaken. Isn't this Xia Yancheng's phone?"
"You called the wrong number. This is not Xia Yancheng's phone."
Han Bin reminded from the side: "Ask her, when did she register this phone number."
Qiao Dongkai nodded: "When did you register this phone number?"
"Two years. You called the wrong number." With that, the woman hung up.
Qiao Dongkai was somewhat helpless: "I haven't called this number for a long time. I didn't expect his original phone number to be changed."
"Nowadays, all mobile phones require a real name system. He refused to reveal his real identity, so naturally, he didn't use that phone number. Now you know why he used your SIM card." Li Hui snorted.
"Then … what should we do now?" Qiao Dongkai was somewhat scared.
"Do you know where Xia Yancheng's hometown is?"
"I know. He told me." Qiao Dongkai recalled: "Shimen City."
"Age?"
"He's five years older than me. I think he was born in 1984. His birthday is June 8th."
"You even remember his birthday?" Li Hui was a bit surprised. Except for his dad, mom, and girlfriend's birthday, he couldn't remember other people's birthdays.
"In the years when I was in Quancheng, every time he celebrated his birthday, he would invite me out to play, so I remember it quite clearly." Qiao Dongkai said.
Han Bin pointed to Li Hui: "You call Xiaopeng and let him check Xia Yancheng's identity information."
"Yes."
At this time, it was already past 11 o 'clock. Customers began to arrive one after another.
"Police comrade, are you looking after the store's business?" Qiao Dongkai's mother wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Don't worry about us. Just do your business as usual." Han Bin waved his hand.
"Thank you, thank you."
Hearing this, the family of three was relieved.
"Brother Bin, do you believe Qiao Dongkai's words?" Li Hui whispered.
"Let's wait and see the news from Xiaopeng's side." Han Bin said and pointed to Zhao Ming: "You two go look around the store."
Li Hui and Zhao Ming got up and looked around the store to see if there was any other exit to prevent Qiao Dongkai from escaping.
"Team Leader Han, what kind of case are you investigating?" Policeman Xiao Sun curiously asked.
The other party came to help him investigate the case. Han Bin didn't want to hide it, so he asked: "Have you heard of the Snowman Case?"
"My God." Xiao Sun swallowed his saliva: "It's a woman. She wasn't wearing any clothes and was hidden in a snowman."
"You really know about this case?"
"This case was very sensational in Leiping City. A large number of police officers were sent to investigate, but it seemed that they couldn't solve the case in the end." Xiao Sun recalled.
"We came here to investigate this case." Han Bin said.
"This case is not easy to investigate. I heard that last year, the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team came to our place to guide the investigation, but they still couldn't catch the murderer." Xiao Sun reminded.
Han Bin nodded and didn't continue the conversation.
"Ring ring ring …" Half an hour later, Han Bin's phone rang. He took out the phone and saw Sun Xiaopeng's name was displayed on the screen.
"Hello."
"Team Leader, Xia Binhai, also known as Xia Yancheng, I have checked. There is no such person." Sun Xiaopeng said.
Han Bin frowned: "What do you mean?"
"According to the information provided by Brother Hui, I searched for Xia Yancheng in the public security system. There is a person with this name, but the age, birthplace, and photo don't match. I suspect that it's fake identity information." Sun Xiaopeng explained.
"I understand." Han Bin responded and then hung up the phone.
"Brother Bin, how is it?"
"Xia Yancheng's identity information is fake."
"What, it's also fake?" Zhao Ming showed a surprised look.
Li Hui glanced in the direction of the kitchen: "My God, could it be that this Qiao Dongkai is lying to us?"
"Either Qiao Dongkai is lying to us, or Qiao Dongkai doesn't know the real identity of the other party." Han Bin analyzed.
"Brother Bin, I suggest we first arrest Qiao Dongkai." Li Hui licked his lips.
"There are so many customers in the restaurant. If you arrest him in front of so many people, will he still be able to open his restaurant in the future?" Han Bin was also in a difficult position.
If Qiao Dongkai is a suspect, Han Bin won't be polite and directly arrest him.
But this case is a bit different. Qiao Dongkai is only implicated, there is no evidence to prove that the other party is involved in the case. Han Bin also doesn't want to go too far.
Han Bin thought for a moment and pointed to Li Hui and Zhao Ming: "You two go to the kitchen and call Qiao Dongkai out."
Han Bin had taken a look. This noodle restaurant was relatively simple. Everything was ready-made. All they needed to do was cook noodles. Although the two of them were a little busy and the dishes were served a little slower, they could still operate as usual.
A moment later, although Qiao Dongkai was reluctant, he still followed Li Hui and Zhao Ming out of the kitchen. The group of people went out of the noodle restaurant and went to Han Bin's off-road vehicle.
"Police comrade, why are you looking for me? Did you find Brother Cheng?"
"Qiao Dongkai, you giving your SIM card to others can be a big or small matter. But if you dare to deceive the police, you will definitely be detained." Han Bin warned.
"Police comrade, how could I deceive you? I won't." Qiao Dongkai made a solemn vow.
"Don't just open your mouth. Just now, I took Xia Yancheng's photo and asked you if you know him. Why would you lie?" Han Bin directly exposed the other party.
Qiao Dongkai lowered his head: "I … I just don't want to betray my brother."
Han Bin sternly asked: "So, for your so-called brother, you deceived the police and concealed his true identity!"
"I didn't, I really didn't deceive the police. What I just said is true. His name is Xia Yancheng. Really, I have seen his ID card. When he lent me money, he let me see it." Qiao Dongkai was a bit anxious.
