Around five o 'clock in the evening.
Han Bin and the others returned to Yuhua Branch and gathered everyone for a meeting.
The trip to Laiping City this time was not very ideal.
Han Bin pointed to Li Hui, "First, tell us about our investigation in Laiping City."
"Cough …"
Li Hui cleared his throat, walked to the whiteboard, and wrote down two names, Qiao Dongkai, Ma Saidong.
"This time, our trip to Laiping City is mainly to visit and investigate these two people. First, tell us about Qiao Dongkai. He opened a small noodle house in Laiping City, and from him, we learned about Xia Binhai's other identity."
Li Hui wrote down another name, Xia Yancheng.
"According to Qiao Dongkai, Xia Haibin's real identity is Xia Yancheng, but Xiaopeng checked in the system, and this is also a fake identity."
Zhao Ming rubbed his cold face, "Who is this Xia Haibin, and what role did he play in the Snowman Case?"
"Lin Yuejiao identified him, and the murderer is not Xia Binhai," said Tian Li.
"Then I am even more puzzled. What does this Xia Binhai do? Why does he keep using a fake identity? Did he also commit a crime? "asked Zhao Ming.
"After I got the news from Team Leader and got Lin Yuejiao's consent, I went to Jiaojiao Beauty Salon again. Xia Binhai has an office there, but the office has been given to someone else to use. We didn't find Xia Binhai's belongings or fingerprints," said Tian Li.
"What about his place of residence?"
"Lin Yuejiao went there, and the tenant has changed, so it will be hard to find any clues."
Li Hui shrugged, "Then the only way to find Xia Binhai is through facial recognition."
"But Xia Binhai didn't leave a particularly clear photo," said Tian Li helplessly.
"For the time being, let's put aside the investigation of Xia Binhai. The most important thing now is to investigate the murderer of the Snowman Case. I will report Xia Binhai's situation to Captain Zeng, and he will decide whether to continue the investigation. "Han Bin set the tone.
"Lynch, how's the investigation of Xue Lipeng's mistress coming along?"
"I've checked all the female contacts on the contact list. Most of them are from work, and I didn't find any suspicious lovers."
"A female contact." Li Hui scratched his head and said thoughtfully, "You didn't check on a male?"
Lynch was stunned. "You think Xue Lipeng's lover is a man?"
"Lin Yuejiao is quite pretty, and she's quite feminine. Xue Lipeng didn't want such a good wife. It's also possible that he's starting to like men. "Li Hui's imagination ran wild.
"Brother Hui, this is quite an interesting idea. If it's really a male lover, then after being dumped by Xue Lipeng, he killed his daughter to take revenge on Xue Lipeng," Zhao Ming analyzed.
Tian Li was speechless. "You guys must have watched too many melodramatic TV dramas."
"If Xue Lipeng really had a male lover, then he should also be a man. How could he rape a female victim?" Sun Xiaopeng raised his doubts.
"What's so hard to explain? Actually, most same-gender relationships are, strictly speaking, bisexual relationships. As long as you can find that excitement, there's nothing wrong with it," Li Hui said with a straight face.
Han Bin rubbed his eyes. "Young man, you've learned a lot recently."
"Haha …" Everyone laughed along.
"Hey, hey, Team Leader Han, I'm talking about the case seriously, okay?" Li Hui was a little dissatisfied.
Han Bin ignored him and looked at Tian Li. "How's Xue Lipeng's situation now?"
"Before you guys came back, Lin Yuejiao just called me. Xue Lipeng is already awake."
Zhao Ming shrugged. "Then why are we wasting time here? Can't we just ask him?"
"The doctor said that Xue Lipeng's condition is not stable," Tian Li explained. "It's not recommended for the police to contact Xue Lipeng immediately. Otherwise, if Xue Lipeng is stimulated again, it's very likely that his illness will act up again. Once he has a second cerebral hemorrhage, the situation will be even more serious."
Han Bin thought for a moment. "How about this, you talk to Lin Yuejiao more. When Xue Lipeng gets better, I'll personally go to the hospital."
"Got it."
After the meeting, Han Bin went to Zeng Ping's office.
Zeng Ping handed him a cigarette. "How's the investigation going?"
Han Bin briefly reported the situation of the case.
Zeng Ping flicked the cigarette ash. "This case is really hard to handle."
"Should we continue to investigate Xia Binhai?"
Zeng Ping hesitated for a moment. "Since Xia Binhai has nothing to do with the snowman case, let's put his investigation aside for now. Recently, we don't have enough manpower, so we can only focus our limited resources on more important cases."
"Are you referring to the explosion case?"
Zeng Ping stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside. "After the explosion case, the municipal bureau called for an emergency meeting. Then, our branch also called for a meeting. Loose on the outside, but tight on the inside. The team led by Zhao Ying has been sent to the grassroots for training. "
Before and after the New Year, the branch rarely sent officers to the grassroots for training.
Even if they did, they wouldn't send an entire team. Obviously, this statement was for outsiders. The real purpose should be to help the local police station investigate the suspects of the explosion case.
For the police, maintaining the stability of the local area was the most important.
It was almost the New Year, and there was a lot of people. Coupled with the festive atmosphere, no one wanted anything to happen.
Especially if it was related to the explosion case, it could easily cause panic among the people. If it happened again, the whole New Year would not be peaceful.
Zeng Ping put out his cigarette. "These few days, I have a lot of things to do. You have to pay more attention to the snowman case."
"I know."
The two chatted for a while more, and Zeng Ping's phone rang. Han Bin left first.
…
After work, the sky outside was already dark.
Han Bin sat in Li Hui's car to go home. On the way, he could occasionally see uniformed officers patrolling.
Li Hui sighed. "This New Year is probably not going to be easy."
"Let's solve the snowman case first. The explosion case has nothing to do with us for now," Han Bin said.
"Brother Bin, I have something to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"Should I go to my girlfriend's house for the New Year?"
"How far have you two progressed?"
"We're getting along quite well, and we can talk."
"Did you hit a home run?"
"What do you mean?" Li Hui did not know how to react.
"That. You know what I mean?"
Li Hui did not understand at first, but when he heard Han Bin's hint, he immediately thought in that direction. "Hehe, I guess so."
"What does this have to do with me going to her house?"
Han Bin turned up the heater. "It's okay. I'm just curious."
Li Hui: "…"
"Have you thought of marrying her? If you have never thought of marrying her, don't mention going to her house. It will prevent everyone from being unhappy, "Han Bin said.
"Of course I want to. A great man once said that love without marriage as the goal is acting like a hooligan."
"Don't echo what others say. A great man cares about national affairs. He would not say such things." Han Bin was speechless. Someone actually believed him.
"I'm not saying that you don't want to get married. I'm just asking if your relationship has reached the stage of marriage."
Li Hui was silent for a while. "I can't say for sure. I just don't want to be impolite."
"Is your girlfriend a strong-minded person? If she is, you can just ask her directly if she wants you to go or not. It's easier to please her than her family. "
"On the contrary, if your girlfriend is not strong-minded, and you are confident that you can leave a good impression on her family, then go."
Li Hui thought for a while. "What you said makes sense."
"That's for sure. I can be considered a senior in this aspect," Han Bin said with a smile.
"You talk so much. How did you end up single?" Li Hui retorted.
Han Bin was speechless. After a while, he said, "Doctors don't cure themselves."
It was already past 7 pm when they got home. Only Wang Huifang and Han Tingqian were at home.
The three of them finished dinner and tidied up.
Han Bin sat in the massage chair and chatted with his grandpa for a while before Han Weidong came back.
Han Bin didn't need to ask much to know that the local police station must be busy because of the fraud case.
Han Weidong, the director of the police station, usually lived a leisurely life. It was a good thing that he was leisurely because it meant that the island was peaceful and the people were living and working in peace.
Once Han Weidong became busy, something must have happened to the island.
And it wasn't a small matter.
Han Bin didn't ask much. Guang 'an Police Station was located in a busy street in the city. Han Weidong's rank was much higher than his, so he should know something about the higher-ups. He wouldn't tell Han Bin just because he was curious.
…
The next morning.
Han Bin called Tian Li as soon as he arrived at the office.
"How's Xue Lipeng?"
"I contacted Lin Yuejiao. She went home last night to change and hasn't gone to the hospital yet. I don't know the details yet."
"We'll go to the hospital later. If Xue Lipeng's condition is good, we'll give him a statement. If not, we'll install a camera in his room to see who's visiting him. Maybe we can find his lover, "Han Bin suggested.
Zhao Ming clapped his hands. "Brother Bin, that's a good idea. The suspect hates Xue Lipeng so much. Maybe he'll go to the hospital himself. Then, we can just wait for him."
"It's none of your business. Go check the surveillance in the office. Because of Xue Lipeng's special situation, only me, Tian Li, and Reuven will go. It's not appropriate to go with too many people. "
Zhao Ming's face immediately fell. He really didn't want to … check the surveillance.
Twenty minutes later, Tian Li drove while Reuven sat in the front passenger seat.
Han Bin sat alone in the back seat, spacing out. To be exact, he was thinking about the case.
For some reason, Han Bin couldn't sleep last night. He went through the two cases again.
He felt that he still lacked experience in dealing with serial murder cases.
While he was thinking, Han Bin thought of another idea. He wanted Ma Saidong to check the surveillance video of Xue Mengjiao's murder to see if he could identify the murderer.
Of course, this method sounded simple, but it was still a taboo.
Han Bin hoped that he could get the consent of Lin Yuejiao and her husband before going to the hospital, at least one of them.
Secondly, Ma Saidong hadn't gotten over his wife's murder. If he saw the video of Xue Mengjiao's murder, he would definitely think of his wife.
Could he bear it?
Han Bin couldn't be sure.
