Huang Qianqian raised her chin. "I'm at work. I'm at work now."
"Why aren't you at the police station? Why are you here?" The long-legged beauty was puzzled. She looked at Han Bin and Bao Xing behind Huang Qianqian.
"Are these two handsome guys your friends?"
"Let me introduce them to you." Huang Qianqian pointed at Han Bin. "This is Team Leader Han from our city's criminal investigation team."
"Team Leader Han, this is my cousin, Wang Ting."
Han Bin looked up and saw a young and beautiful woman. She had an oval face, big eyes, and fair skin. She was wearing a khaki sweater, and her breasts were full. She was wearing black leggings, and her long legs were very pleasing to the eye.
"Hello, Boss Wang."
Wang Ting looked at Han Bin and felt a sense of déjà vu. "Hello, Team Leader Han."
Bao Xing introduced himself. "Hello, cousin. I'm Qianqian's colleague, Bao Xing."
Huang Qianqian rolled her eyes. "Who's your cousin? She's only a few months older than me. She's not even as old as you."
Bao Xing chuckled. "Your cousin is my cousin. Age has nothing to do with it."
Even Han Bin was immune to this guy, let alone Huang Qianqian.
Wang Ting blinked her long eyelashes. "Qianqian, you don't look like you're here for a meal."
"Cousin, I'm here to ask for your help."
"What can I help you with?"
"Did your restaurant receive a group of foreign guests the night before yesterday?"
Wang Ting smiled. "I remember. Although there weren't many people, all the major races in the world were there."
"That black foreigner is dead."
"Dead!" Wang Ting looked shocked. "So, you're here to investigate a case."
Huang Qianqian put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Yes, so you have to treat us well. Otherwise … hmph."
Wang Ting patted her chest. "I'm timid. Don't scare me."
"Qianqian, stop it." Han Bin waved his hand and said seriously, "Boss Wang, we're here to understand the situation and check your store's surveillance."
"No problem. It's every citizen's duty to cooperate with our police investigation." Wang Ting smiled and made an inviting gesture.
"There's a private room upstairs. Team Leader Han, Officer Bao, please follow Qianqian upstairs for a while. I'll get someone to copy the surveillance footage."
Huang Qianqian grinned. "Cousin, remember to give me a portion of takoyaki."
Wang Ting asked, "What would Team Leader Han and Officer Bao like to eat?"
"I just had breakfast. You're welcome," Han Bin said.
Bao Xing smiled. Since Han Bin said so, what else could he say?
Huang Qianqian led Han Bin and Xiao Luo upstairs. The private rooms all had sliding doors, and Huang Qianqian entered the easternmost private room with familiarity.
There was a rectangular table in the private room. There were no chairs beside the table, only a few cushions. Han Bin and the other two took off their shoes and entered the room. It felt a little like a northeastern kang bed.
Bao Xing looked around with his small eyes. "This private room is quite unique."
Huang Qianqian introduced, "This is a Japanese private room. They all sit on tatami. Some customers aren't used to sitting on the ground, so the restaurant also has a normal private room. The private room next to it has high tables and chairs. However, I think it's more delicious to eat on tatami. "
Bao Xing was a little reserved. "Team Leader, have you eaten in a Japanese restaurant before?"
"I think I've been there two or three times."
"How's the taste?"
Han Bin smiled bitterly. "I've long forgotten."
Huang Qianqian chuckled. "I can tell from the sound. Team Leader probably went with his girlfriend, right?"
Bao Xing touched his chin. "How is that possible? Based on my observations over the past few days, Team Leader should be single like us."
Huang Qianqian rolled her eyes. "That's called being single, okay."
Han Bin ignored the two bickering. Instead, he thought of his female boss, Wang Ting.
He could tell at a glance that Wang Ting was the Miss Wang who drove the white Audi.
However, he didn't know if Wang Ting had recognized him.
That day, Han Bin wore sunglasses and a mask. Although the two of them added each other on WeChat, Han Bin never posted pictures of himself on WeChat. In other words, Wang Ting probably hadn't seen his face before. She could only tell from his voice, figure, and occupation.
"Buzz …"
Han Bin's phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Wang Ting. "Officer Han, what do you like to drink?"
Han Bin smiled and replied, "Plain water will do."
Wang Ting sent a smiley face. "Hold on."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Then, the door opened from the side.
Wang Ting walked in with a wooden tray. There was an octopus ball, two glasses of lemonade, and a glass of iced water.
"Wow, it smells so good. The takoyaki is here." Huang Qianqian stood up and quickly placed the takoyaki on the table. "Team Leader Han, try it. It tastes great."
Han Bin was speechless.
'I'm here to investigate a case.'
Wang Ting passed the lemonade to Huang Qianqian and Bao Xing. Then, she placed the iced water in front of Han Bin. "Team Leader Han, your iced water."
Bao Xing glanced at the ice floating in the glass and shivered. He thought to himself, 'It's such a cold day. Does Boss Wang have a grudge against Team Leader Han?'
Huang Qianqian was a little surprised. "Cousin, how did you know that Team Leader Han likes to drink iced water?"
Wang Ting smiled. "I guessed."
Han Bin took a sip. Water with ice in it would taste better. Of course, this might not be suitable for everyone. First, one had to have a healthy stomach.
As for why there was ice in the water, Han Bin didn't think too much about it. It was the norm in Japanese restaurants.
"Boss Wang, where did the group of foreigners eat two nights ago?"
"They were in the lobby on the first floor."
"Among those foreigners, was there anyone who frequented your restaurant?"
"Yes." Wang Ting recalled. "I remember that Caucasian man. He should have been here before."
"Did they have an argument?"
"That Caucasian man and African man had an argument. Both of them were very loud and affected the surrounding customers. I asked the waiter to persuade them to leave."
"Who paid the bill that night?"
"I remember. It was that Indian woman. She was quite pretty."
Bao Xing frowned. "I remember Chen Haijing said that she was representing the school to invite the foreign teachers for a meal. Shouldn't she pay? Why was Zerai the one paying? "
Han Bin took out Feng Xifan's photo. "Has this person been to your restaurant before?"
Wang Ting took it and looked at it. "I don't remember."
Han Bin then took out Ma Jiajia's photo. "What about this person?"
Wang Ting looked at it carefully and frowned. "I think I remember her."
"Think carefully."
Wang Ting bit her lip and thought for a moment. "I remember now. She seemed to have been here with that Caucasian man."
Bao Xing smiled. "Oh. That's interesting."
"When were they here?" Han Bin asked.
"Erm … I don't remember. I don't stay in the restaurant often."
As Huang Qianqian ate the octopus balls, she mumbled, "Cousin, just say that it was eight months ago, or within eight months, that'll do."
"Not that long ago. It should have been in October or November last year."
Huang Qianqian curled her lips. It seemed that eight months and seven days were not that touching.
"Mr. Wang, how many surveillance cameras are there in your restaurant?"
"Three. There is a surveillance camera on the first floor, the second floor, and the entrance. I have copied them for you."
"Thank you."
Han Bin asked a few more questions but did not get any more clues. He took the copied video and left.
Wang Ting walked the three of them to the door and handed a black card to Han Bin. "Team Leader Han, this is our restaurant's VIP card. Please take care of us in the future."
"Of course." Han Bin nodded and left in the car.
"Uh." Huang Qianqian burped and said to Bao Xing, "How is it? My cousin's octopus is delicious, right? "
Bao Xing said seriously, "It's delicious. I must eat it again in two days."
Han Bin played with the VIP card. "How much discount can I get with this card?"
Huang Qianqian thought for a moment. "I think it's 20%. This kind of card usually has a spending limit. Even I don't have it."
"How much is a portion of octopus?"
Huang Qianqian was stunned. "Eh, I can't remember …"
Han Bin smiled. "You don't have much use for this card anyway."
"Haha …" Bao Xing could not help but laugh.
After returning to the Municipal Bureau, Han Bin threw the portable hard drive to Bao Xing and asked him to check the video from the night before.
"Sister Li, is there any news from Chen Haijing?"
"She has contacted Elizabeth and said that she can do the statement at two in the afternoon."
"What about David?"
Li Qin replied, "She said that David is busy and can only do the statement the day after tomorrow."
Han Bin thought for a moment. "Investigate David first. We must confirm David's whereabouts this afternoon. If he doesn't have time, we will go to his house and give him a statement."
David was a frequent customer of Four Seasons Restaurant. His relationship with Ma Jiajia was closer than expected, so the suspicion was further raised.
