Qin Island Airport.
When Han Bin and Bao Xing arrived at the airport, it was already noon.
Most people would arrive at the airport one to two hours earlier. Han Bin guessed that HAL might have already arrived.
Then, Han Bin met up with Ma Jingbo and the others.
Ma Jingbo had already contacted the airline and prepared to arrest him with the help of the airline's ground crew.
The arrest method was very simple. There were only three plans.
The first plan was to arrest him at the ticket counter. Of course, HAL might also use the self-service ticket machine, so there was a need for additional plans.
The second plan was to arrest him at the security checkpoint, which HAL would definitely have to pass. But considering that the airport was crowded, it might not be convenient to arrest him at that time, so they made a third plan.
The third plan was very simple. They would arrest him at the departure hall. Most people waiting for their flights would be near the boarding gate, so it wouldn't be difficult to find HAL.
Even if HAL deliberately stayed away from the boarding gate, he still had to go there when it was time to check in. To put it bluntly, they were just waiting for him. He couldn't run away at all.
The problem now was to arrest HAL in the safest, fastest, and least influential way.
When Han Bin arrived in time, he also participated in the discussion of the arrest plan.
After some discussion, they finally decided to adopt the second plan, which was to wait for the suspect to pass the security checkpoint before investigating.
HAL might be a gang member, and it was very likely that he was carrying weapons. The security checkpoint could pull out his teeth and turn him into a toothless tiger, which would minimize the risk of being arrested.
Although the arrest point was set at the security checkpoint, when HAL took the ticket from the counter, he was already being watched by Bao Xing and Wang Xiao.
HAL was a tall black man. For people in China, it was not easy to distinguish black people, but HAL had a special characteristic, his lips were very thick.
Ordinary black people had thicker lips than other people, but HAL's lips were even thicker, like two pieces of sausages hanging on his face.
After HAL took the ticket, he wandered around the security checkpoint, his eyes sweeping around from time to time with a vigilant look on his face.
HAL finished a cigarette and threw the lighter into the trash can. He then went to the toilet, and when he came out, he went straight to the security checkpoint.
Wang Xiao continued to keep an eye on him. Bao Xing entered the toilet and searched through the cubicle that HAL had brought before. He found a fruit knife in the toilet tank.
The fruit knife had already been sharpened and was extremely sharp. If it stabbed into someone, they would either die or be seriously injured.
From this point of view, arresting them near the security checkpoint was indeed the safest.
HAL walked to the security checkpoint and put her ID on the counter. She grinned and winked. "Hey, girl, you look so sweet."
The female counter staff glanced at him and smiled.
"Yeah, you smiled at me. I know you like me."
The female counter staff tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Yo, are you flirting with me? Yeah, I know. This is my business card. You can contact me when you arrive in America. Trust me, I will be a good guide."
The female counter staff stamped the document and returned it to him.
Howl winked at the counter lady and entered the security checkpoint.
HAL placed the items on the conveyor belt and stood on the testing platform.
A ground crew member in a blue uniform held a testing device and examined HAL's body.
"Beep, beep …" A sound came from HAL's chest.
"Oh yeah, this is my gold chain, the smallest one." HAL grinned and removed a gold chain from his neck.
The ground crew member waved her hand, indicating that HAL could leave.
Howl grinned and wobbled towards the item behind the detector.
At this moment, four men surrounded him. The leading man was in his twenties. He flashed his police badge. "Mr. HAL, I am Han Bin from the city's criminal investigation team. I would like to invite you to the police station to learn more about the situation."
HAL shrugged. "Oh my god, I have already bought a ticket. I want to go back to America. I don't have time to go to the police station with you."
"I will talk to the airline and change your flight."
HAL spread his hands. "No, my mother is waiting at home. I have to go back."
Han Bin smiled and opened his shirt. "Do you think only the American police have guns?"
HAL gritted his teeth. He was angry and helpless. "Okay, Mr. Officer, I respect you. I will go with you. I am innocent. I have nothing to be afraid of."
“OK，go。”
HAL sighed. He could only go back with Han Bin and the others.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was a characteristic of all gangsters.
There was no need to be polite to such people.
…
It was already one o 'clock in the afternoon when they brought HAL back to the police station.
HAL was asking for food on the way back. He even asked for a beef burger. Ma Jingbo ordered takeout for him.
Huang Qianqian had already ordered food from the cafeteria.
Other things aside, the food in the city's criminal investigation team was much better than in the Yu Hua Branch, and it was not expensive either.
Huang Qianqian ordered a total of eight dishes: braised pork, stir-fried cauliflower, deep-fried yellow croaker, dried pot potato chips, large plate chicken, mapo tofu, and spicy eggplant. Everyone also had two boxes of rice and a bowl of seaweed soup.
Ma Jingbo ate for a while and padded his stomach. "I have a meeting in the city's bureau this afternoon. I will be leaving after lunch. Han Bin, I will leave HAL to you."
Bao Xing asked curiously, "Captain Ma, what's the meeting today?"
"Aren't you a nosy person? Why are you asking me? "
Bao Xing laughed. "Aren't you busy with work these days? I don't have the time. "
Ma Jingbo snorted and explained, "People have been holding it in for a long time. Once they let it go, it's easy for them to cause trouble. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of cases in Qingdao. The municipal committee is also paying close attention to it. We can't let our guard down. We must implement some targeted measures."
Ma Jingbo ate quickly. It was a habit he had developed over a long period of time.
After lunch, Ma Jingbo left.
Han Bin gathered everyone and looked at the summary of the case.
"We've caught HAL, but we can't let go of other clues. Li Qin and Jiang Yang, keep an eye on David and check if he has an alibi."
"Yes."
"Bao Xing and Wang Xiao will follow me to interrogate HAL."
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly. "Captain, I don't know English. I can only sit in the interrogation room like a fool. I will not participate in the interrogation. I will look for other clues."
"Captain, Qianqian's English isn't bad. Why don't we let her do the statement with us?" Bao Xing suggested.
Han Bin glanced at Huang Qianqian. "You know English."
"I know a little."
"Sure." Han Bin agreed. It wasn't a bad thing to have someone who could understand him.
…
City Criminal Investigation Unit, Third Interrogation Room.
HAL was brought to the interrogation room. However, he wasn't handcuffed, and his freedom wasn't restricted.
Han Bin gestured for him to sit. "Mr. HAL, thank you for helping the police with the statement."
"I want a cup of coffee." HAL shrugged.
"Okay." Han Bin nodded and gestured for Huang Qianqian to pour him a cup of coffee.
"Hey, by the way, your beef burgers are too small. There's not much meat at all. It even stuffed my teeth," HAL complained.
Han Bin ignored him. He flipped open his notebook and went straight to the point. "Mr. HAL, what's your relationship with Mr. Mike?"
"We're friends."
"Why did you come to Qin Island to find him?"
HAL shrugged. "For a vacation. Isn't Qin Island a tourist city?"
"As far as we know, you didn't come to Qin Island for a vacation."
"Okay, then why do you think I came to Qin Island?" HAL asked.
"Listen, HAL. We invited you to the police station in the hope that you can help the police with their investigation, not to talk back to them. Only by cooperating with them can you leave early. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, ask away."
"Why did you come to Qin Island to find Mike? Think about it first."
"It's a sad thing. Mike had a brother named Tony who was beaten to death some time ago. So, I want to ask Mike to go back and get justice for Tony."
"How do we get justice?"
"Seek justice in our American way."
"Tell me more, I'm very interested."
At this moment, Huang Qianqian walked over and placed a cup of coffee in front of HAL. "Your coffee."
"Hey, girl, thank you for the coffee. You're very pretty."
"Of course." Huang Qianqian was nervous and her mind went blank.
"I have nothing to do with this case. You've arrested the wrong person. I'm a good person. I'll treat you to coffee when I have time." HAL grinned and winked.
Huang Qianqian thought for a moment. "Oh, you're speaking a bit fast … Can you slow down a bit?"
"What? What did you say? "HAL frowned as if he didn't understand.
Huang Qianqian organized her words and finally gave up on English. She said in Chinese, "Oh … That … I should go back."
Huang Qianqian always thought that her English was pretty good. When she watched American dramas, she could understand the gist of it. However, when she actually used it, she realized that she was still far from it.
When she watched American dramas and understood the plot, she could understand the gist of it. When she looked at the actors' expressions, she could understand 70-80% of it.
At this time, she would have the illusion that she could understand English.
In fact, she could only understand the gist of it. When she actually used it, she would be dumbfounded. The slightest difference could lead to a huge difference.
Han Bin knocked on the table and continued the previous topic. "How do you want Mike to get justice?"
"Hey, Mr. Officer, Mike is already dead. What's the point of saying this now?"
"Do you want to change your visa again?"
"Okay. Actually, I'm just a messenger. It's Tony's family that wants Mike to go back and get justice."
"Then tell me what you know."
"Tony, Mike's younger brother, was shot to death. He was still young, and he died unjustly. His family wants Mike to avenge Tony."
"How?"
"That I don't know. That's Mike's business. He's Tony's brother, not me." HAL wasn't stupid. He knew what to say and what not to say.
"Who killed Tony?"
"A Chinese man who owns a Chinese restaurant. He killed Tony. I think he might have killed Mike too."
"What's the Chinese man's name?"
"Brother Liao."
