Han Bin thought for a moment. "Tian Li, talk to Feng Ruili and see if she has a boyfriend."
"Zhao Ming, talk to Ma Gaohai and ask if he has an alibi."
"Yes." Tian Li and Zhao Ming split up.
Han Bin walked to the yard and found a place without people. He took off his mask and lit a cigarette.
According to Han Bin's observation, Feng Ruili wasn't a big suspect, but whether she had a boyfriend or not was still uncertain.
In other words, if she did have a boyfriend, then Zhao Ming's guess might be true.
As for Ma Gaohai, before he came to the police station, he already knew about Tan Guyou's death. His emotions had been released, and Han Bin couldn't use his emotions to judge. However, Ma Gaohai's body language showed no signs of lying.
Of course, he couldn't be completely ruled out as a suspect.
There was another suspect, Pang Shuhai. Pang Shuhai had left Linyi Village, and his current whereabouts were unknown.
Because Fei Yan had caused quite a ruckus, and today was Chinese New Year's Eve, many common investigation methods couldn't be used.
Han Bin could only try his best.
…
Lu Village, Lu Village.
Li Hui, Du Qi, Sun Xiaopeng, and a technician rushed to the entrance of Lu Village.
Not long after, the village head arrived.
The village head's surname was Lu, a common surname in the village. He wasn't tall, but he was quite spirited. He wore a blue jacket, black pants, and thick leather boots.
Li Hui showed his police badge. "Village head Lu, sorry to trouble you to come with us on Chinese New Year's Eve."
"It's what I should do. It's all for the people." Village head Lu took out a few cigarettes and passed them to Li Hui and the others.
Seeing that the village chief was holding the filter, Li Hui and the others all declined.
"Officer, why did you come to our village?"
"We want to find a villager from Lu Village to understand the situation."
"Which person?"
"Lu Xuepo."
"Lu Xuepo." Village head Lu mumbled, "How old is he?"
"About thirty."
Village Chief Lu thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, boss, do you know a man called Lu Xuepo in our village? He's in his thirties."
"Yes."
"Alright, I understand."
After the phone call, Village Chief Lu smiled and said, "Youngsters, I know them by sight. I can't remember which family they are from just their names. My son is also in his thirties, and this Lu Xuepo is about the same age as him. They are even classmates."
"Do you know where Lu Xuepo lives?"
"I know. His father is from the same generation as us. We all know each other. He's the only one in the family. I don't think he's separated from the family. "After saying that, Village Chief Lu also got on the car and led Li Hui and the others into the village.
"Chief Lu, does Lu Xuepo's family have a car?"
"I think so. However, there are more than a thousand households in our village. I can't remember them all."
Li Hui nodded. They were almost there anyway, so he didn't ask much.
Village Chief Lu asked curiously, "Officer, why are you looking for Lu Xuepo?"
"We found a body in the Dew River. Lu Xuepo is likely to be involved in the case."
"What? He didn't kill someone, right?" Village Chief Lu was so scared that he didn't even notice the cigarette ash falling on his body.
"We are still investigating. We can't be sure of the specific situation," Li Hui said.
A few minutes later, under Village Chief Lu's guidance, Li Hui and the others found Lu Xuepo's house.
Lu Xuepo's house was in an alley. The alley was only three meters wide, and it was only enough for one car to enter. Once the car stopped at the entrance of the alley, other cars couldn't leave.
Village Chief Lu led the four to the place and left.
The door of Lu Xuepo's house was open. It seemed that a couplet had just been pasted on the door, and the ground at the door was sprinkled with water.
Li Hui and the others directly entered the door.
"Woof woof …" A dog barked.
Li Hui looked into the yard and saw a dirty dog tied to the wall. It was barking at Li Hui and the others.
"Who is it? Who's here?"
A woman in her thirties walked out with an iron basin in her hand.
"Is Lu Xuepo here?"
"Xuepo, he's looking for you." The woman shouted and asked Li Hui and the others, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Li Hui showed his police badge. "We're from the criminal investigation team. We're looking for Lu Xuepo to understand something."
"Criminal investigation team." The woman frowned. "Why are you looking for my house, Xuepo?"
"Who is it?" At that moment, the thick curtain of the door was pulled open, and a man in his thirties walked out.
Li Hui had seen the photo before, so he recognized him at first glance. He was the suspect they were investigating, Lu Xuepo.
"You're Lu Xuepo?"
"That's me. Why?"
Li Hui showed his police badge again. "We're from the criminal investigation team. We're looking for you to understand something."
Lu Xuepo was stunned for a moment, and he revealed a surprised expression. "Officer, what do you want from me?"
"Do you have a white Honda?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Where's the car?"
"The car was sent for repair."
"What's wrong with the car?"
"The car crashed into a tree."
"How many years have you been driving?" Lynch asked.
"Seven or eight years."
"You've been driving for a long time. How did you crash into a tree?" Lynch asked.
"I was careless. I was distracted."
Lynch didn't buy it. "That's not a good excuse."
Lu Xuepo hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth. "Actually … I …"
Li Hui could tell that the man was hiding something, so he asked, "Tell me the truth. What happened?"
Lu Xuepo sighed. "It's Chinese New Year, and everyone's back. There's a class reunion on the 22nd. We haven't seen each other for a year, and everyone's very friendly. I … drank a bit, so I wasn't driving properly, and I accidentally crashed into a tree. I was so scared that I rushed back."
"Don't you know that driving doesn't drink, and drinking doesn't drive?" Li Hui snorted.
"I know, I didn't drink much. Just a little, half a bottle of beer." Lu Xuepo smiled sheepishly.
"Who are you kidding? Half a bottle of beer and you crashed into a tree," Lynch said coldly.
"You're quite lucky, kid. You even managed to avoid drunk driving." Li Hui put on a fake smile.
"I won't do it again, I won't do it again," Lu Xuepo said in a hurry.
"Where did you send the car for repair?"
"I sent it to town," Lu Xuepo said.
Li Hui raised his chin. "Let's go. Show us the car."
Lu Xuepo's wife walked over. "Officer, didn't my husband say it clearly? Why are you still looking at my car?"
Li Hui explained, "If your husband was just drunk driving, we wouldn't have come here today. We found a body in Dew River, and your family's car passed by during the time of the crime. There was another traffic accident, so it's very likely to be the suspect's car. We need to investigate. "
Because there was no blood alcohol level, even if Lu Xuepo admitted to drunk driving, they couldn't charge him as drunk driving.
Without evidence, a confession alone wouldn't work.
