In the People's Hospital of Qindao City.
On the 16th floor of the inpatient building.
Han Bin, Tian Li, and Reuven got off the elevator. As soon as they turned into the corridor, they saw Lin Yuejiao standing at the door of the ward.
Lin Yuejiao squeezed out a smile and greeted them, "Officer Han, Officer Tian."
Han Bin nodded and said, "Ms. Lin, is Xue Lipeng better?"
"How should I put it? He's awake and can talk, but compared with before …" Lin Yuejiao stepped aside and said, "You'd better go and see for yourself."
Han Bin and the other two walked into the ward. A man in his forties was lying on the bed. His eyes were a little dull, and he was looking forward quietly.
"Old Xue, the police are here to see you."
The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at Han Bin and the other two. His eyes fell on Han Bin and he asked, "Did you catch him? Did you catch the beast? "
"We're trying to trace it. We came here today to visit Mr. Xue, and we want to know something from you."
"Know something from me." Xue Lipeng looked a little excited and shouted in a hoarse voice,
"Why don't you catch the murderer? What's the point of asking me? I've been on a business trip in Quan City. I wasn't even there when Mengjiao died. What's the point of asking me?"
"Old Xue, the police are here to help us investigate the case. Why are you shouting? Even if you're angry, you can't lose your temper. This is not your profession." Lin Yuejiao apologized to Han Bin.
"Mr. Han, my husband is too sad and emotionally unstable. Please don't take it to heart."
"Since Mr. Xue's condition is unstable, you should rest first." Han Bin said and turned to leave with his men.
Seeing that the police were about to leave, Xue Lipeng was a little regretful. "Wait a minute. I'm fine. What clues have you found?"
Han Bin ignored him and said to Lin Yuejiao, "Find the attending doctor."
"Wait a minute. I'll go find him."
Not long after, Lin Yuejiao walked in with a man in a white coat and glasses.
Han Bin looked at him and asked, "Are you Xue Lipeng's attending doctor?"
"Yes."
"What's your name?"
"My surname is Chen, just call me Doctor Chen."
"Doctor Chen, my surname is Han. I'm from the Criminal Investigation Team of Yu Hua Branch. Do you know anything about Xue Lipeng's situation?"
"I know some."
"We would like to ask some questions about the case. Do you think his health allows it?"
"After yesterday's treatment, his condition has basically stabilized. As long as he agrees and isn't too agitated, we can question him."
"How about this? I want you to stay in the house. If Xue Lipeng's body is abnormal when we are interrogating him, I hope you can interrupt him in time," Han Bin said.
Doctor Chen frowned and seemed hesitant.
"Doctor Chen, I hope you can help us. This case is really important to us. It's also Old Xue's problem. If we can solve the case smoothly, I believe it will help Old Xue's condition," Lin Yuejiao said.
Doctor Chen wiped his glasses, put them back on, and nodded. "Alright."
"Thank you." If something really happened to Xue Lipeng, Han Bin would have to bear some responsibility. With Doctor Chen here, it was equivalent to having an extra layer of insurance.
"Xue Lipeng, I'll ask you again. Can you take the statement in your current condition?" Han Bin said seriously.
"Yes."
"If you feel uncomfortable during the statement, you have to say it directly. You can stop the statement at any time. Do you understand?"
Xue Lipeng nodded.
"Give me a clear answer."
"I understand," Xue Lipeng answered.
Han Bin took out his notebook. "Xue Lipeng, did Xue Mengjiao act strangely during the period before the murder?"
"No."
"Don't say it out loud. Think carefully before you speak."
"As far as you know, does Xue Mengjiao have any enemies?"
"My daughter is such a good girl. She has never fought with her classmates. How could she have enemies? Also, she hasn't graduated from school yet. She hasn't entered society yet. Even if she had a conflict, she wouldn't be so cruel. "
"What about you? Do you have any enemies?"
"What do you mean? Do you think that I killed my daughter?" Xue Lipeng's eyes widened.
"I'm asking a routine question."
"No. I can't think of anyone who would do such a thing to my daughter."
"According to Xue Mengjiao's boyfriend, Xue Mengjiao said that you have a lover and your attitude towards her is not friendly. It's very likely that you two have a conflict. I want to know who that person is."
"What lover? Nonsense." Xue Lipeng denied without thinking. "Also, when did my daughter have a boyfriend? Why didn't I know?"
"Ms. Lin, do you know?"
Lin Yuejiao sighed. "Yes, I know. She mentioned it."
"Mr. Xue, the point now is not whether Xue Mengjiao has a boyfriend or not, but whether you have a lover?" Han Bin asked.
Xue Lipeng patted his head. "It's my daughter who died now. Why are you asking about my private life?"
"Mr. Xue, if you're not feeling well, I suggest you rest first." Dr. Chen reminded him.
"Dr. Chen, please leave first. I'm fine. I want to talk to the police alone."
Dr. Chen didn't want to stay any longer and left the ward.
Xue Lipeng looked at Han Bin. "Does this really have something to do with my daughter?"
Han Bin didn't answer the question. "That white Audi, was it you who was driving it?"
"Yes," Xue Lipeng answered. There was nothing to hide.
"Have you ever had sex with your lover's Audi?"
Xue Lipeng closed his eyes and revealed a conflicted expression.
"Say it. As long as we can catch Mengjiao's murderer, everything else is not important." Lin Yuejiao sighed.
Xue Lipeng nodded. "Yes."
"What are your lovers' names?"
"Guo Wenjing, Jiang Yuxi, Guan Wenhui, Lv Xinxue, Li Tianqi."
Han Bin was surprised. "These five are all your lovers?"
"Sort of."
Han Bin was puzzled. There were so many lovers, but there were no obvious clues in their communication records. "How do you contact them?"
"They are all my colleagues. I have more contact with them at work. I told them not to call me as much as possible." Xue Lipeng lowered his head as if avoiding Lin Yuejiao.
"Wow, you're really something!" Lin Yuejiao turned and left the room.
"Among your colleagues, is there anyone related to Leiping City?" Han Bin probed.
Xue Lipeng thought for a moment. "Lv Xinxue is from Leiping City. Because of her outstanding work ability, I promoted her to the Qindao branch."
"Where is Lv Xinxue now?"
"When I returned to Qindao, she was still in Quan City. According to the original plan, she should have returned to Qindao yesterday afternoon."
"She also went to Quan City with you?"
"Yes, I took her to Quan City for a meeting."
"Is Lv Xinxue married?"
"Yes."
"What's her husband's name?"
"I don't know."
"Have you seen him?"
"No." Xue Lipeng replied and asked, "Do you think Mengjiao's death has something to do with Lv Xinxue?"
"It's still in the investigation stage. It's not easy to come to a conclusion. Contact the bank and confirm Lv Xinxue's whereabouts. Remember not to alarm her," Han Bin said.
Xue Lipeng took a deep breath. "How can my daughter's death have anything to do with Lv Xinxue? They don't even know each other."
"I can't answer that right now. The truth will come out when the investigation is done."
Xue Lipeng shook his head. "It won't."
…
Yingbin Road, Kaifeng Bank.
Compared to previous years, the atmosphere at Kaifeng Bank was a bit cold.
In previous years, the bank would start giving out year-end bonuses and Spring Festival gifts at this time, but there was no movement this year.
Ordinary employees only thought that President Xue hadn't returned from Quan City, but the well-informed knew that something had happened to President Xue.
As one of the people who accompanied President Xue to Quan City, Lv Xinxue received everyone's attention as soon as she returned to the bank.
"Xiao Lu, you're back from Quan City?"
"Yes." Lv Xinxue nodded slightly.
"Xiao Xue, where's President Xue? Is he back? "
"He should be back. We didn't come back together," Lv Xinxue said perfunctorily.
"Xiao Xue, I'm so envious of you. You can follow President Xue to Quan City for a meeting. No wonder you improved so quickly," an older female colleague said with a smile.
Lv Xinxue didn't say anything. She only revealed a professional smile.
"Xiao Lu, come over for a moment." At that moment, a man's voice sounded.
Everyone looked over. It was the bank's Vice President, Zhang Linshu.
Lv Xinxue heaved a sigh of relief. "President Zhang, why are you looking for me?"
"There's a VIP guest in the VIP reception room. Go and receive him," Zhang Linshu said.
"What VIP?"
"You'll know when you get there," Zhang Linshu said perfunctorily.
"Sigh." Lv Xinxue responded. She spat at the group of people just now. "Pfft, a bunch of gossipers. They don't have the ability, but they only know how to talk about others."
Lv Xinxue put on a professional smile again. She walked to the VIP reception room and knocked on the door politely. After waiting for two seconds, she opened the door and walked in. There was a man and a woman sitting inside. The man was tall and straight. The woman had short hair and looked very heroic.
These two people were Han Bin and Tian Li.
"Hello, Madam. Hello, sir. My name is Lv Xinxue. I'm the bank's business manager."
Han Bin sized up Lv Xinxue. She was tall, beautiful, and had a gentle temperament.
Whether it was her appearance, figure, age, or temperament, she was very similar to the first victim of the Snowman Case, Gu Yuwen. This made Han Bin even more certain of his judgment.
"Manager Lv, please sit." Han Bin made an inviting gesture.
"Sir, what business are you handling?"
Han Bin showed his police badge. "I'm not handling business. I want to ask you a few questions."
"Police!" Lv Xinxue was a little surprised. "Why are you looking for me?"
"What's your relationship with Xue Lipeng?" Han Bin went straight to the point.
"He's my colleague and leader. I've learned a lot from him. He's always been my role model," Lv Xinxue said.
"Xue Lipeng has a lot of colleagues. They're all outside. Why didn't we look for them? Why did we look for you?" Han Bin laughed.
Lv Xinxue blinked her big eyes and showed an innocent look. "Police comrade, is there a misunderstanding?"
