Ma Jiajia looked a little excited, "No, Mike is not a mistress. David cheated on me and broke up with me. I only got together with Mike after that."
"Did David threaten Mike?"
Ma Jiajia recalled, "He said he called Mike a black egg and said he would have shot him if he was in America."
Han Bin flipped through the notebook and thought of a question, "Mike has a tattoo. Do you know what it means?"
"I asked him and he said he thought it looked good, so he got it."
"Does Mike have any belongings?"
"Mobile phone, gold chain, gold ring, and two thousand RMB."
"What brand of mobile phone?"
"Apple."
"What do the gold chain and ring look like?"
"The gold chain is the thicker kind and the ring is the wider one. I spent tens of thousands to buy them."
Bao Xing couldn't help but ask, "Why does he have so much gold?"
"Mike likes it. He said it's a black tradition."
Han Bin jotted it down in the notebook and continued to ask, "Electronic payment is so convenient now. Many people don't usually carry cash. Even in emergencies, they only carry one or two hundred. Why does he have so much cash?"
"Mike doesn't like electronic payment. He likes the feeling of using paper money. He spends most of his time using paper money. If he doesn't have enough cash, he will use my credit card. He doesn't want to learn how to use electronic payment," Ma Jiajia said.
"Do you have any suspects other than David?"
"How should I put it? There is someone who has a conflict with Mike, but I don't think she will kill and doesn't have the ability."
"As long as it's someone who has a conflict with Mike, just say it. As for whether he will kill or not, the police will judge." Han Bin said.
"Okay, her name is Elizabeth. She's an old-fashioned old woman. Every time she sees Mike, she has a look of disdain and quarreled with him several times."
"She's also a foreign teacher?"
"Yes, she is from the Empire where the sun never sets. She looks down on Mike and even David. She is still living in the glory of the Empire where the sun never sets in the last century. She always thinks that only her English is authentic and that what we speak is bullshit. She is really annoying."
Han Bin summarized, "The five foreign teachers of the Qingdao Foreign Language Institute are Sharman, Zerai, Elizabeth, Mike, and David."
Ma Jiajia nodded. "Yes, Sharman and Zerai are a couple. They are both from South Asia and Afghanistan."
"Mike and David are both Americans."
"Elizabeth is an old woman from the Empire where the sun never sets."
Han Bin made a note in his notebook and changed the topic. "Miss Ma, where were you between eight and twelve o 'clock last night?"
Ma Jiajia's eyes widened. "What do you mean? Why are you asking where I am? Are you suspecting me? "
"It's just a routine inquiry."
"I'm at home."
"Don't you English teachers have dinner parties?"
"No, we're just some ordinary teachers. Our salaries can't compare to those of foreign teachers. My colleagues are very calculative and stingy."
"So you don't have an alibi last night?"
"Are you still suspecting me?"
"I told you, it's just a routine inquiry."
Ma Jiajia snorted. "I also told you that I'm at home. You can check the surveillance. I haven't gone out since I got home."
"Where do you live?"
"Binnan District, Huisong Home, Building 8, Room 1102."
Han Bin closed his notebook. "Thank you for your cooperation. You can go back first. We'll let you know if there's any news."
"When can you catch Mike's killer?"
"We'll do our best to solve the case as soon as possible." Han Bin promised.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Ma Jiajia got up and was about to leave.
Han Bin got up and handed her a business card. "Miss Ma, this is my business card. If you see HAL, please let me know."
"I have Sister Li's contact information. I'll let him know." Ma Jiajia said and left the office.
Bao Xing sighed. "This woman is really …"
"What's wrong?" Huang Qianqian asked.
"I don't know how to describe it." Bao Xing shrugged. Some things couldn't be said in front of Huang Qianqian.
This Ma Jiajia had connections with both black and white people. The white foreign teacher was her ex-boyfriend, and the black foreign teacher was her current boyfriend. She might have even dated someone from the same country in the past.
How could she be an ordinary person?
It was already noon when they finished their statements.
Ma Jingbo and the rest returned to Team One's office. After a discussion, they decided to go out for lunch.
They had been eating at the cafeteria every day, and they were tired of the good food.
There were quite a few restaurants near the Municipal Bureau. Some of them weren't big, but the food was very good.
They went to a restaurant called Diner not far from the Municipal Bureau. The restaurant wasn't big. The two floors added together was only about 100 square meters.
Han Bin and the rest asked for a private room. The waiter put the menu on the table and went out to make tea.
The six of them ordered a dish each. Sweet and sour pork, mixed vegetables, fried squid, garlic pork knuckle, nameless beef giblets soup, and stir-fried oats. Some of them wanted noodles, some wanted fried pancakes, and some wanted rice.
After the waiter came in, he put the tea on the table and left with the menu.
There were only their own people left in the room, and they naturally started to discuss the case.
"Han Bin, how's the situation of the deceased?" Ma Jingbo asked.
"I've figured out the basic situation, but I personally feel that Ma Jiajia's words can't be trusted completely," Han Bin said.
After that, Han Bin told Ma Jingbo, Wang Xiao, and Jiang Yang about the contents of the statement.
After that, there was a knock on the door. Then, the waiter came in with a wooden plate. There were two porcelain plates on the plate, and he put them on the round table. One was garlic pork knuckle, and the other was stir-fried oats.
There were outsiders around, and it wasn't good to continue the discussion. Ma Jingbo waved his hand. "Everyone, try it. It's my treat today."
"Captain Ma, let me do it today. Everyone welcomed me yesterday, so it's my treat today." Han Bin smiled.
Han Bin picked up a piece of pork knuckle. It was fat but not greasy, and it tasted pretty good.
The stir-fried oats were a little bland, and it wasn't suitable for rice. However, it was very refreshing, and it was very good to go with these hard dishes.
Everyone tasted it, and Ma Jingbo picked up his teacup. "Let's replace wine with tea. Cheers."
Ma Jingbo also liked to drink, but he had work to do, so he could only talk about it.
Everyone naturally didn't want to spoil his mood, and they all raised their cups and took a sip.
The other dishes were served one after another.
The waiter ticked on the menu. "Your dishes have all been served. When will the main course be served?"
"In a while," Han Bin said.
The waiter closed the door of the private room and left.
Ma Jingbo continued the discussion and asked, "Han Bin, what do you mean when you said that Ma Jiajia's words can't be trusted completely? She lied. "
Han Bin took a sip of tea and smoothed it down. "I don't see any signs of her lying, but from her description, I feel that Mike is hiding something from her. Many of her statements don't match up."
"I feel the same way. Ma Jiajia described Mike as a very responsible person, but I feel that it's a little fake and unreal," Bao Xing echoed.
Li Qin analyzed, "Could it be that our first impression is the strongest? Previously, we guessed that Mike might be a gangster from America, but Ma Jiajia said that he was a hero, which made Mike's image a little different. That's why we feel that her words are a little fake."
"Some time ago, Mike's younger brother, Tony, was shot and killed in America. HAL came to China to find Mike and get him to seek justice for Tony, but in the end, Mike was also killed. Wouldn't it be too much of a coincidence to say that the two are unrelated?" Bao Xing shrugged.
"Can we contact the American police to find out how Tony died, as well as Mike's specific identity information to see if the two cases are related?" Jiang Yang suggested.
Ma Jingbo put down his chopsticks. Jiang Yang's suggestion was good, but it would not be easy to implement. Even if they could contact the American police, this matter would not be very efficient and could not be counted on in a short period of time.
Speaking of this, Han Bin looked at Li Qin. "By the way, how's the investigation of the phone number used by Mike?"
"It's not in the service area, so we can't locate the phone. I've already contacted the technical department. They will communicate with the communications company and get the communications company to print out a list of recent calls," Li Qin said.
Han Bin thought for a moment. "Speaking of phones, I have a speculation. Could it be that we're overthinking things and this is just a murder case caused by an accident?"
Han Bin's suggestion was very novel and immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
"The location of the victim's injury was in front of the car, and the car showed signs of braking. This situation is very similar to the accident."
Li Qin frowned. "It's possible that it's an accident. The epidemic has just passed, and most people are unemployed during this period. There are many people who lack money. However, I've seen a lot of accidents, and it's completely different from murder. "
Han Bin recalled for a moment and continued, "According to Ma Jiajia's testimony, Mike was wearing a very thick gold chain and a gold ring. Just the two of them added up to tens of thousands of dollars."
"Let's say that Mike leaned over to check on the victim and wanted to help him up. The first thing the victim saw was a big shiny gold chain. If the victim grabbed Mike's gold chain, the two of them would definitely fight."
Jiang Yang poured a cup of tea. "I think what Team Leader Han said makes sense. This speculation is quite consistent with the traces at the scene. Also, there's another advantage to the accident at night. If you can bump into a drunk driver, you can definitely make a fortune."
Ma Jingbo took a bite of squid and chewed. There was no problem with Han Bin's analysis, but he lacked evidence to support it.
Han Bin took a sip of the beef giblets soup, which had mustard in it. It was very clear after taking a sip. "Captain Ma, how's the investigation of the suspect?"
Ma Jingbo shook his head and said helplessly, "We've checked the surveillance cameras at the T-junction. The timeline was from eight o 'clock last night to two o' clock this morning. We found a few people passing by during this time, but they've all been eliminated as suspects."
Han Bin recalled the crooked shoe prints in the green belt and suggested, "Captain Ma, I think we can expand the investigation time and push the timeline back."
