Knock, knock … Someone knocked on the door.
Then, Chen Haijing pushed the door open and walked in, followed by two foreigners.
It was a man and a woman. From their appearance and skin color, they seemed to be from India.
The man had dark skin and was about 1.8 meters tall. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking a little simple and honest.
The woman's skin was lighter, and she had deep facial features. She was very beautiful, tall, and voluptuous.
Chen Haijing introduced, "This gentleman is Sharman, and this lady is Zeila. They are both foreign teachers from India."
Han Bin looked at the two and said, "Hello, I'm Han Bin from the city's Criminal Investigation Unit. Can you speak Mandarin?"
Zeila smiled and gestured with her fingers, "A little."
"Officer Han, I can be your interpreter if you need," Chen Haijing said.
Han Bin said in English, "No, thank you."
Chen Haijing smiled, "Your pronunciation is very accurate."
"Director Chen, I'd like to talk to Zeila alone," Han Bin said in English.
Chen Haijing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Han Bin to speak English so well. "Ah, okay. Mr. Sharman, let's go out first. I have some work-related matters that I'd like to talk to you about."
Han Bin invited Zeila to sit down and said with a smile, "Ms. Zeila, you're very beautiful."
"Oh, thank you for the compliment. Your English is also very good." Zeila smiled.
"Ms. Zeila, do you know why I invited you here?"
"Yes, I heard from Director Chen that Mike is dead. You're here to investigate the case."
"Yes, Mike died after a dinner, so I want to ask you about the situation."
"Okay, ask away. Mike was a good man. I'm also very sad about his death, so I want to do my part."
Han Bin flipped open the notebook and went straight to the point, "Did Mike drink last night?"
"No, he didn't."
"Doesn't he usually drink?"
"No, he likes wine and red wine, but that restaurant only has sake and beer, which he doesn't like."
"You know him very well."
"Oh no, I have a good relationship with Mike's girlfriend. Mike is not my cup of tea."
"What time did you go to the party?"
"Around eight o 'clock."
"When did the party end?"
"Around ten."
Han Bin noted it down in his notebook. Chen Haijing's and Zerai's dates matched.
"When did Mike leave the restaurant?"
"Oh, it should be … around nine o 'clock."
"Can you be more specific?"
"It should be around 9: 30, but I'm not sure. I didn't look at my watch at the time, and I drank a little."
"Who drank that night?"
"Me, Sharman, David, the three of us."
"Where did you go after the gathering?"
"I'm going home."
"Can anyone prove it?"
"I'm with Sharman. Director Chen helped us find a designated driver. We didn't drink and drive," Zerai joked.
"Do you feel anything unusual about Mike recently?"
"Yes, Mike's family passed away. He's very sad, and he's indeed a little down."
"Do you have any suspects for Mike's death?" Han Bin asked.
Zerai shrugged. "No, I can't think of anyone who would do such a thing. It's too scary."
"Okay, Miss Zerai, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
"Please invite Mr. Sharman in."
"Okay," Zerai said and left the conference room.
Han Bin turned his head and saw Li Qin and Bao Xing looking at him in surprise.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"F * ck, Team Leader, you're too awesome. You can even talk to foreigners in English. I'm already stunned." Bao Xing's eyes widened.
"Amazing." Li Qin was also sincerely impressed. No wonder he could be the team leader.
"Team Leader, it's a good thing I'm not a woman. Otherwise, I might have fallen in love with you just now."
Han Bin looked Bao Xing up and down and said in all seriousness, "Well, it's a good thing you're not a woman."
Bao Xing was speechless.
As they chatted, Sharman pushed the door open and walked in.
"Hi."
Han Bin stood up and made an inviting gesture. "Mr. Sharman, please take a seat."
Sharman nodded and sat opposite Han Bin in a reserved manner.
"Mr. Sharman, what time did Mike leave the restaurant last night?"
"Around 9: 15."
"How do you remember it so clearly?"
"Yeah, he asked me the time and left not long after."
"He asked you the time because he had something to do?"
Sharman shrugged. "I'm not sure about that."
"Who was drinking at that time?"
"Me, Zerai, and David."
"After leaving the restaurant, where did you go?"
Sharman rubbed his hands. "I went home with Zerai."
Han Bin had been observing him. "You seem a little nervous."
Sharman lowered his head. "Yes, it might have something to do with my personality. I'm quite introverted and not used to communicating with strangers."
Han Bin asked in return, "Then why did you become a foreign teacher? Isn't your job to communicate with students?"
"Yeah, I was a little worried at first, but then I chatted with my classmates and realized that their spoken English was very poor, so I wasn't nervous anymore. After communicating with the students, I became a lot more confident. I really like my current job. It's really great. "Sharman smiled.
"Zerai is your girlfriend?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Han Bin smiled. "No, you're a lucky person."
"Yeah, I never thought I was lucky until I met Zerai. Zerai is my goddess, my lucky goddess, and also my love goddess. I really love her. She's great."
"Okay, I'm going to be jealous if you keep talking," Han Bin joked.
English was quite different from Chinese, and such a joking tone was very common.
"Yeah, your English is also very good. If you go to our country, there should be a lot of girls who like you. I can introduce my sister to you."
"Thank you. That sounds good, but Chinese girls are more suitable for me." Han Bin smiled.
The two chatted for a while more before Sharman left the conference room.
Bao Xing sighed. He felt like he was a human video recorder. He had done so many statements, but he had never been as depressed as he was today. "Team Leader, what did you talk about with that foreigner? Other than thanking him, I didn't understand anything."
Han Bin smiled. "He asked me to ask if you want to go to India. He can introduce his sister to you."
Bao Xing curled his lips. "That girl named Zerai is okay, but forget about his sister."
Li Qin said, "Oh, the video recorder is still on. I don't know if Qianqian will see this when she sorts out the information."
"Pfft." Bao Xing slapped his face. "Cut that part out. I can't let Qianqian hear it."
Li Qin snorted. "Alright, I'm just teasing you. It's been turned off a long time ago. How dare you delete the video? Do you want to quit your job?"
"Hehe, Sister Li is the best. I'll treat you to a big meal next time."
Li Qin smiled. "Don't mention a big meal. I've never eaten that Japanese cuisine before. Just treat me to that next time."
Bao Xing patted his chest. "No problem."
Knock knock … At that moment, there was another knock on the door.
Chen Haijing walked in. "Officer Han, are you done with the statements?"
Han Bin replied, "Yes, their statements have been taken. When will David and Elizabeth come?"
Chen Haijing looked apologetic. "I'm really sorry. They're not at school. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow to take the statements. "
"What time tomorrow?"
"I haven't contacted Elizabeth yet. How about this? I'll contact Elizabeth and arrange a time for them to come. I'll give you a reply."
Han Bin nodded. "Sure."
Li Qin walked over. "Director Chen, this is my name card. You can contact me when the time comes."
"Alright, I'll send you there."
…
In a black SUV, Bao Xing was in the driver's seat, Li Qin was in the front passenger seat, and Han Bin was in the back seat.
Li Qin turned her head and asked, "Team Leader, did you find any new clues when you took the statements of these two foreigners?"
Bao Xing said, "Yeah, after all that, at least there's a scene in an American drama. This guy almost made me depressed to death."
Han Bin described the main points of the statement to the two of them.
After Bao Xing heard it, he smacked his lips. "Wow, these two are actually a couple. If this happened in India, Sharman would definitely be beaten to death."
Li Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're too jealous. Sharman might be a little ugly, but as long as Zerai likes him, what does it have to do with others?"
"Sis, you don't understand. Zerai has light skin, a high nose, and deep facial features. One look and you can tell she's a high-caste beauty. Look at Sharman, he looks like a chimpanzee. He's most likely from a low-caste. If these two are dating in India, something will definitely happen. "
"Alright, there's no need for you to say anything serious. We know about this kind of thing," Li Qin said.
Bao Xing smiled. "Team Leader, do you think I'm right?"
Han Bin replied, "In India, men are superior to women. High-caste men can marry low-caste women, but high-caste women can't marry low-caste men. Otherwise, they'll have to pay a huge price."
Li Qin said, "If that's the case, Sharman and Zerai probably came to Qingdao for free love."
Bao Xing said indifferently, "In my opinion, this Sharman doesn't deserve Zerai at all. Look at how timid he is. One look and you can tell he's a coward."
Li Qin said, "You don't have to worry about that. It's fine as long as they like each other."
"Ring ring ring …" At this moment, Han Bin's phone rang. Han Bin took out his phone and saw Wang Xiao's number on the screen.
"Hello."
"Team Leader Han, we found the suspect in the surveillance at the T-junction."
"What time did he appear at the T-junction?"
"Around six o 'clock this morning."
"Are you sure it's him?"
Wang Xiao's tone was firm. "His age and physique match your speculation. More importantly, this person isn't wearing a jacket."
