The labrador searched for another few hundred meters and lost track of the scent at the T-junction.
The dog trainer tried twice more, but the labrador just circled in place and couldn't continue to track.
There was a surveillance camera at the T-junction and it was likely that the suspect had been captured. They could go to the traffic police center to get the surveillance footage.
The labrador had done another good deed.
Han Bin asked Bao Xing to buy a pack of ham for the labrador with the team's funds as a reward.
Bao Xing was very much in favor of this humane suggestion, and he happily left.
The on-site investigation had come to an end. After separating from the police dog unit, Han Bin and the others returned to the Municipal Bureau.
Han Bin, Ma Jingbo, Li Qin, and Bao Xing sat in one car.
Wang Xiao and Jiang Yang drove the other car.
Bao Xing drove in the driver's seat while Li Qin sat in the front passenger seat.
Han Bin and Ma Jingbo sat in the back row.
Ma Jingbo lit a cigarette and took a drag. "Have you contacted the owner, Ma Jiajia?"
"Yes. I'll summon her to the Municipal Bureau to make a statement. She'll probably be there by the time we get back."
"What's the relationship between the owner and Lao Hei?"
"Lao Hei's name is Mike. He's Ma Jiajia's boyfriend. He attended a party with his colleagues last night and didn't go home. I couldn't get through to him on his phone. Ma Jiajia is also looking for him."
Bao Xing snorted. "These Lao Hei don't want to stay abroad. They only know how to harm our domestic girls."
"I don't agree with you. This is the era of freedom of love. I heard that Ma Jiajia has deep feelings for Mike. When she heard that something happened to Mike, she cried and was very sad," Li Qin said.
Bao Xing sighed. "Sigh, there's another bachelor in China!"
Ma Jingbo laughed. "It's none of your business. Don't you follow Huang Qianqian all day long? Why do you care about other women?"
"That's right. A good girl like Qianqian definitely won't like a Lao Hei," Bao Xing muttered.
Ma Jingbo and Han Bin discussed for a while and the two of them split up.
Ma Jingbo brought people to investigate the suspect.
Han Bin brought people to investigate the victim.
After the car drove into the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the four of them got out. Ma Jingbo called Wang Xiao and Jiang Yang to go to the traffic police station.
Han Bin, Li Qin, and Bao Xing prepared to return to the Criminal Investigation Building.
At this moment, a taxi stopped at the entrance, and a woman in her twenties ran into the Municipal Public Security Bureau in tears.
The woman looked average. She was wearing a short white down jacket. She was not tall, but her figure was very hot. It could be said that she was curvy.
Li Qin seemed to have sensed something and asked abruptly, "Comrade, what brings you to the Public Security Bureau?"
"I'm here on business. I'm looking for the Second Squadron of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit," the woman said in a sobbing tone.
"Are you Ma Jiajia?"
The woman rubbed her eyes. "It's me. How do you know me?"
"My name is Li Qin. I called you just now."
"Boohoo …" Ma Jiajia burst into tears. "Police comrade, where's Mike? I want to see him. I don't believe it. I don't believe that something will happen to him …"
Li Qin sighed and walked over to pat Ma Jiajia on the shoulder. "Xiao Ma, I can understand how you're feeling right now. My condolences."
Ma Jiajia grabbed Li Qin's arm. "Officer Li, I only want to see Mike now. Please, let me see Mike."
Li Qin could not bear to see her like this. She turned to look at Han Bin.
Han Bin nodded. "Bring her to the forensics room. We'll go back to the office first."
After watching Li Qin and Ma Jiajia leave, Bao Xing touched his chin and thought to himself, 'She's not as pretty as my Qianqian. Old Hei's taste is only so-so.'
…
Half an hour later, Ma Jiajia followed Li Qin to the office of the Second Squadron.
Ma Jiajia's eyes were red from crying. She sat on the chair and wiped her tears.
Li Qin handed her a few tissues. "Xiao Ma, the dead can't come back to life. My condolences. If Mike was still alive, he wouldn't want to see you so sad."
"I really, really like Mike. He's a great person. He's different from other foreigners. He's very responsible. He loves me very much. He bought that black Buick for me. He really …" Ma Jiajia wiped her face with a tissue.
"He even said he would bring me back to America. He would live in the best villa and eat the best steak. He even said he would drive a yacht and take me out to sea. We would fish and barbecue on the deck …"
Ma Jiajia fell into a fantasy. She cried and laughed at the same time.
No one interrupted her fantasy. It was a good thing for her to vent her emotions.
After Ma Jiajia finished talking about the life she dreamed of, she fell into a short period of sadness.
Li Qin sighed. "Xiao Ma, I can understand how you're feeling right now. I know you're in pain, but you have to pull yourself together. There's no point in being sad."
Ma Jiajia shook her head. "No, you can't understand. No one can."
"I understand." Li Qin's tone was firm and gentle. "Believe me, I can understand your pain. I also want to help you get over it. Think about your family, think about the dead Mike. You have to be strong."
"Mike is already dead. What's the use of being strong?"
"Mike is dead, but it's not over yet. Do you want to see him die without knowing why?"
"I don't want to, I don't want to."
"That's right. You have to be strong. You have to trust the police. We can help you catch Mike's killer. We can avenge Mike. Only then can Mike leave in peace," Li Qin advised.
It was unknown if Ma Jiajia had cried enough or if Li Qin's words had worked. After a moment of silence, she raised her head. "Officer Li, who killed Mike? Who?"
"We've just taken over the case and don't know much. Although we've found clues about the suspect, we still need your help to have enough evidence to arrest the suspect."
"I'm willing. I'm willing to help you."
"Okay, we'll give you a statement and ask you about Mike. Finding out Mike's identity and whereabouts is the only way to speed up the investigation."
Ma Jiajia's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "Okay, be quick. I must find Mike's killer. I want to see him executed with my own eyes. He's a devil. Why did he hurt my Mike?"
Han Bin had been watching quietly from the side. Li Qin was now playing the role of a caring elder sister. After her patient persuasion, Ma Jiajia's emotions really stabilized.
Li Qin walked to the water dispenser and poured Ma Jiajia a cup of hot water.
Bao Xing turned on the law enforcement recorder. Han Bin routinely asked, "Name, age, place of origin …"
"My name is Ma Jiajia. I'm 27 years old this year. I'm from this city …"
Han Bin flipped open the notebook. "What's your relationship with the deceased Mike?"
"Mike is my boyfriend. We've already discussed it. We're getting married in the second half of this year and we're going to America for our honeymoon."
"Where is Mike from? How long has he been here? "
"Mike is from America. His hometown is Buffalo. He's been here for almost a year."
"How long have you known each other?"
"I'm a teacher at the Institute of Foreign Languages. Mike is a foreign teacher hired by the institute. We met not long after he came to Qingdao. He's very nice."
"Speak Chinese." Bao Xing reminded.
"Sorry, I'm an English teacher. I'm used to speaking English."
Bao Xing: "…"
Han Bin continued to ask, "How long have you been dating Mike?"
"Eight months and seven days."
Huang Qianqian looked surprised and murmured, "Wow, you remember that."
"Do you live with Mike?"
"Yes, we rent a house outside the school. Mike is a very kind person. He thinks that we can afford to rent a house and that we should leave the school dormitory for people with poor financial conditions. He's a very righteous person."
"Can you tell me about Mike's whereabouts last night?"
"Yesterday was the first day of classes at the Institute of Foreign Languages. In the evening, Mike went out for dinner with his colleagues. He was very happy. He's a person who loves freedom and doesn't like to be locked in a room."
"I'm different from other women. I'll give a man face when he's outside. I won't keep calling him, I'll give him enough space. Mike also likes this about me, so I've been waiting for him patiently. But when he didn't come home at midnight, I felt that something was wrong. He rarely comes home this late before."
Ma Jiajia's voice was choked with sobs. "I called Mike, but his phone was turned off. After a while, I called again, but his phone was still turned off. I called several times, but his phone was always turned off. At this time, I became anxious. I called several of his colleagues and found out that Mike had already left. I knew that something had happened. "
"What's Mike's phone number?"
"I have two phone numbers. One is 138. This phone number has always been used by me. The other is 157376 XXXXX. This phone number is used by Mike. "
Han Bin dialed the phone number used by Mike, but the system indicated that the phone was no longer in service.
"Sister Li, check this phone number."
