"Brother Liao."
Han Bin muttered.
Han Bin had an impression of this name.
At that time, Han Bin was still working at the Yu Hua branch office. During his break, he went back to the Baohua Road police station to visit his old colleagues.
The Baohua Road police station was also where he worked before.
At that time, a little boy was playing in the neighborhood and scratched many neighbor's cars. It even caused a conflict between the boy's father and the neighbor. The boy's father was injured, and the person who guided the boy to row was a man called Brother Liao.
Han Bin felt that this Brother Liao was a person with ideas, but whether it was good or bad, he didn't know.
Han Bin wrote down Brother Liao's name in his notebook, "Do you know his full name?"
"No, I'm just a small character," HAL said.
Han Bin looked at HAL and asked, "How did you know Mike was dead? I never said that."
"I … I heard it from Ma Jiajia." HAL shrugged.
"Since you knew Mike was dead, why didn't you take care of his funeral? Instead, you rushed back to America."
"I was scared. This is Chinese territory. If he can kill Mike, he can kill me. I'll only be safe if I return to America."
"Why did that Brother Liao kill Tony?"
"Okay, I don't want to lie to the police, even if you're the Chinese police. Tony went to rob a Chinese restaurant and was killed by the owner, Brother Liao."
"Which university did Tony graduate from?"
HAL laughed, "Tony didn't go to university. Like many black people, he chose to join gangs. Face, women, guns, and power. Yeah, as long as you do well, you can have it all."
"What about Mike?"
"Mike is Tony's role model."
"You mean Mike also didn't go to university?"
"Mike didn't go to a proper university. Last year, he asked Tony to help him get a diploma from a diploma college in America."
"Why did he get a diploma from a diploma college?"
"He said it would be useful for finding a job in Qingdao, but I don't know the details."
"April 15th, 9 to 12, where were you?"
"I don't remember. Maybe I was drinking somewhere."
"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time. Think about it carefully."
HAL grinned and said, "Mr. Policeman, you're not suspecting that I killed Mike, are you? We're good brothers. How could I do such a thing?"
"I'm asking clearly to prove your innocence."
HAL was a little helpless. "Okay, I should be drinking at the Golden Cube Bar."
"When did you go?"
"Around eight o 'clock."
"What time do you leave the bar?"
"It should be around 11 o 'clock, almost 12 o' clock."
"Where did you go afterwards?"
"I had too much to drink, so I stayed in a nearby hotel."
"Which hotel?"
"Lexie Hotel."
Han Bin recorded all this important information in his notebook.
"Mr. Police, you don't have to waste your time on me. I'm a good person, and I won't kill Mike. You should investigate that Chinese guy called Brother Liao. He must be the one behind this. He's a ruthless man, "HAL said.
"How ruthless?"
"How should I put it …" HAL thought about his words. "I think Tony's death might be a trap, or a trap set by that Chinese guy."
"Why would he do that? What good would killing Tony do for him? "
"It's a long story. It's not easy for the Chinese to live in America." HAL gestured with his hand.
"At the top are the white people, and in the middle are us. The Chinese are usually at the bottom and are often bullied. Tony wasn't friendly to the Chinese. Those Chinese might want to make an example out of him."
"Do you know more about that Chinese?"
"No, this has nothing to do with me. I've already done my duty as a friend by coming to Qingdao. It was Mike who didn't want to avenge Tony for the sake of a stable life. "
"Since Mike didn't want revenge, why did Brother Liao kill him?" Han Bin asked.
"Hmm, good question." HAL shrugged. "I'm not sure. Maybe Brother Liao thought Mike would take revenge."
Han Bin had a feeling that HAL was hiding something, but the current evidence couldn't prove that he was related to Mike's death.
"Hey, Mr. Police, I've told you everything I know. Can I leave now?"
"Of course." Han Bin nodded and warned, "But don't leave Qingdao for the time being without my notice."
"Okay, I don't want to come to the police station anymore."
"Bao Xing, send him away."
"Oh." Bao Xing realized that the interrogation was over.
Huang Qianqian left the interrogation room and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She wouldn't dare to say that she knew English again.
It was too embarrassing.
As soon as Han Bin returned to the office, Li Qin came over. "Leader, I found new clues."
Han Bin put down the documents and took a sip of warm water. "What clues?"
"I checked the surveillance of the foreign teachers' dormitory. On the night of April 15th, David didn't return to the dormitory at all. He lied." Li Qin said.
"Do you know where he went?"
Li Qin analyzed, "I checked the surveillance of Four Seasons Restaurant and saw him leave in a taxi. I haven't found out where he went yet. However, Mike's time of death was between 9 and 12, so he had the time to commit the crime."
Han Bin revealed a thoughtful look. "David, HAL, Brother Liao … interesting."
Bao Xing took over the conversation. "David has a motive to commit the crime and lied on his alibi. He's very suspicious."
Li Qin suggested, "Leader, I think we should arrest David immediately."
"Qianqian, go apply for a warrant. Li Qin and Jiang Yang, go to the Foreign Languages Institute."
"Wang Xiao and Bao Xing, follow me to the Kilton Hotel."
"Yes."
…
Forty minutes later, Han Bin and the other two arrived at the Kilton Hotel.
Han Bin showed his police ID and checked at the hotel front desk. When he learned that David hadn't checked out, he immediately prepared to arrest him.
David lied on the key evidence, which made him even more suspicious. This time, both Han Bin and Wang Xiao brought pistols.
The arrest was very simple. Han Bin first checked the surveillance cameras in the corridor to make sure that David was indeed in the room.
At the same time, he made sure that no one else entered David's room.
Then, he went to check the rooms of the same size to figure out the layout of the rooms so that he could arrest David as soon as he entered the room.
After the preparations were made, a waiter brought Han Bin and the other two to David's door.
Then, Han Bin made a hand gesture and the waiter swiped the door card.
"Ka!" The door of the room opened, and Han Bin and the other two broke in.
Han Bin and Bao Xing rushed into the living room while Wang Xiao rushed into the toilet.
"Police, don't move!"
David was shocked. He hid in the corner of the room and shouted, "Who are you? What right do you have …"
After seeing Han Bin's face, David was stunned. "Why are you here again? The police can't just barge into other people's bedrooms. This time, I'm going to sue you. I mean it. I want to find the best lawyer."
Han Bin did not answer. He said to Bao Xing, "Cuff him."
"Hehe." Bao Xing chuckled. He did not have a good impression of foreigners, so he was happy to do the job.
Seeing Han Bin's black muzzle, David naturally did not dare to resist and was handcuffed by Bao Xing.
"Why are you doing this? What did I do to offend you?" David asked loudly.
Han Bin put away his gun and said tentatively, "David, stop pretending to be innocent. We found evidence of your crimes."
"What do you mean?"
"On the night of April 15th, you didn't go back to the dormitory at all. Instead, you found Mike and pretended to take his car home, but you killed him on the way."
David panicked. "No, I didn't kill anyone. You're framing me."
"Then tell me, on the night of April 15th, where did you go after you left Four Seasons Restaurant?" Han Bin asked.
"I …" David wanted to say something but stopped.
"You have a motive to kill, and you forged an alibi. I can arrest you and bring you to the police station based on these two points alone."
"Oh my god, I have nothing to do with Mike's death. Why do you have to hold me?" David covered his face with both hands.
"Because you lied to the police," Han Bin said coldly.
"Okay, I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything that happened that day, but you can't tell anyone else. Absolutely not."
"I won't leak the contents of the transcript. They can't understand English anyway."
David took a deep breath. "I really didn't go back to the dormitory that day. I didn't mean to lie to you. I have nothing to do with Mike's death. My whereabouts that day are related to my privacy, so I don't want to tell the police."
"Actually, after I left Four Seasons Restaurant that night, I went to a hotel."
"Why did you go to a hotel?"
David gritted his teeth. "I went to see a female student."
