Just now, Han Bin had received a call from Wang Huifang. Today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and she asked him to go home early for dinner.
Han Bin readily agreed. As long as there were no important clues, he would get off work early so that his team members could have a peaceful dinner.
"Ding Ling Ling …" Han Bin had just turned off his phone when he heard another ringtone.
Han Bin saw that it was Li Hui, so he answered the call. "Hello."
"Brother Bin, we've caught the driver."
"What time did he hit someone?"
"Around 8: 50."
"Did he commit the crime at any time?"
"No. He was with his classmates between four and seven in the afternoon," Li Hui said.
"What about the crime scene?"
"We're on our way to the crime scene to see if we can find more clues."
"Send me the driver's information."
"Got it."
Not long after he hung up, Han Bin's WeChat rang. He opened it and saw Lu Xuepo's personal information.
When Han Bin was looking at the information, Tian Li and Zhao Ming walked out.
"Team Leader, the forensics team has located Pang Shuhai. He's in Yuhua District, near Yingbin District," Tian Li said.
Han Bin took a puff of his cigarette. "How's Feng Ruili's side?"
"After repeated questioning, Feng Ruili admitted that she has a boyfriend. But she said that she wasn't with her boyfriend on January 22nd. She answered the call herself," Tian Li said.
Zhao Ming smiled. "Tsk tsk, I guessed right. She really has a boyfriend."
"Where is her boyfriend?"
"According to her, her boyfriend is Zheng Chao, a colleague from her company. He's not a local. He took the train back to his hometown on January 21st."
If Feng Ruili was telling the truth, then Zheng Chao didn't commit the crime. However, Han Bin didn't completely believe her.
Han Bin turned to look at Zhao Ming. "How's the investigation on Ma Gaohai's side?"
"Ma Gaohai said that he didn't leave home on the afternoon of January 22nd. His wife can testify."
The credibility of the testimonies of immediate family members was not very high.
Han Bin's current problem was that he didn't have enough manpower. He couldn't split up and investigate, so he could only look for the most important clues first.
Han Bin found Sheriff Sun Weixi and asked him to help investigate Zheng Chao's situation to see if there was any record of him buying a ticket. At the same time, he called Ma Gaohai's wife to give a statement.
As for Han Bin, he brought his men back to Yu Hua District to investigate another suspect, Pang Shuhai.
Pang Shuhai and Tan Guyou had a direct conflict, so he was the biggest suspect among the three.
…
Yuhua District, Yingbin District.
Pang Shuhai's house.
Pang Shuhai was in his thirties and had a family of five. He had an old mother, a son, and a daughter.
At this time, the family of five was in the living room. Pang Shuhai's daughter was watching TV, and his son was playing with his phone.
My wife and I are making dumplings.
Pang Shuhai poured a pot of tea and drank it by himself.
He was very satisfied with his current life. He had bought a house in the city, and his family still had an old house.
"Mom, this is our first time spending New Year's in the city. What do you think?" Pang Shuhai smiled.
"It's good. It's peaceful and warm." The old lady was very thin, and her hair was meticulously combed.
"Dad, where are we going to set off firecrackers this year?" Pang Shuhai's son asked.
"Save it. We won't set off firecrackers this year," Pang Shuhai's wife said.
"Isn't there a yard downstairs? Can't we set off firecrackers in the yard?" Pang Shuhai's son was a little dissatisfied.
"Firecrackers are not allowed in the city. Stop it," Pang Shuhai scolded.
Knock knock. At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Pang Shuhai shouted.
"We are the police. Open the door."
Pang Shuhai was stunned and asked in surprise, "What do you want?"
"Someone reported that your family is from out of town. We need to verify the situation."
"We are not from out of town. Our hometown is Linyi Village. We bought this house ourselves. We have never been out of town. We are all locals," Pang Shuhai said.
"We need to check your ID."
Pang Shuhai hesitated and opened the door. He saw a few people standing outside. The leader was a man wearing a mask and sunglasses.
"Why aren't you wearing your police uniform?" Pang Shuhai showed a puzzled look.
"Are you Pang Shuhai?"
"I am."
"We are from the criminal investigation team. We are looking for you to understand the situation." Han Bin showed his police ID.
"Criminal investigation team!" Pang Shuhai took a step back and showed a vigilant look. "Why are you looking for me?"
"Do you know Tan Guyou?"
"I know him. Why?"
"What's your relationship with him?"
Pang Shuhai shook his head. "Nothing. We are just from the same village."
Pang Shuhai's wife and mother also walked over. "Why are you here at my house?"
"Tan Guyou is dead."
As soon as Han Bin said that, the house became quiet. Only the sound of the TV could be heard.
After a while, Pang Shuhai showed a shocked look. "Dead? When did he die?"
Pang Shuhai didn't know that Tan Guyou was missing, let alone that he was dead.
Han Bin used micro-expressions and found that his emotions were not fake.
In other words, he should have just learned about Tan Guyou's death.
His suspicions were also greatly reduced.
"Tan Guyou died on January 22nd, between four and seven in the afternoon. Where were you?" Han Bin said.
"You suspect me?"
"Routine questioning."
"I …" Pang Shuhai thought for a moment. "That day, we just came to the city from the village."
"Why did you suddenly come to the city?"
"First, because we didn't install natural gas, and it was cold at home. Second, we had a lot of relatives during the New Year in the countryside, and it was not safe to walk around. It was quieter in the city. "
"Officer, on January 22nd, our family was together. It had nothing to do with my husband," Pang Shuhai's wife said.
"Yes, Uncle Police, I remember that day very clearly. After lunch that day, our family began to pack up our things. At around five o 'clock, we walked to the city. My dad was with us the whole time." Pang Shuhai's daughter was already in middle school, so she spoke very orderly.
"When was the last time you saw Tan Guyou?" Han Bin asked.
Pang Shuhai hesitated and gritted his teeth. "On the afternoon of January 22nd."
Han Bin frowned slightly. "Where did you meet? Why did you meet? "
Pang Shuhai waved his hand and quickly explained, "Officer, don't misunderstand. I didn't meet him. I just saw him on the way to the city. We didn't even get out of the car and just drove away. We didn't even meet."
"What was he doing? With whom? "
"What?" Pang Shuhai mumbled and recalled for a moment. "He was riding a motorcycle, and there was someone sitting in the back."
"Who? Do you know him? "
"He looked familiar … I think …" Pang Shuhai tried hard to recall.
Pang Shuhai's wife came over. "I remember. He's also from our village, the son of Old Ma."
