In Team One's office.
Huang Qianqian frowned as a troubled expression appeared on her face.
Standing in front of him was a middle-aged couple who looked similar to the woman who was captured last night.
"Little girl, call your leader over. Let's have a good talk with him," the middle-aged woman said.
"Our leader is investigating the case. I really can't come over right now." Huang Qianqian looked troubled.
The middle-aged man asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"My surname is Huang."
The middle-aged woman sighed, "Officer Huang, my daughter is about the same age as you. She's going to study abroad soon and wants to have a gathering with her classmates. You're all young people, so you should be able to understand. She might have been a little drunk and couldn't control herself, but to arrest a promising student over such a small matter, I really don't think so."
The middle-aged man also tried to persuade him, "Yes, Officer Huang, please help me. Call your leader over and put in a good word for her. Ask her to release my daughter. I will definitely be grateful to you."
"Uncle, Auntie, I can understand how you feel, but Ma Shasha obstructed law enforcement. The police detained her according to the law. She can't be released just because of a few words," Huang Qianqian said.
The middle-aged woman said, "Shasha is still young and has never drunk before. She just got drunk and threw a tantrum. She didn't mean to obstruct law enforcement. You, the police, are magnanimous. Don't argue with a child."
"Auntie, I'm just a new police officer. I can't even be considered a field officer. I really can't do anything about it." Huang Qianqian shrugged.
The middle-aged man said, "That's why I asked you to call your leader over. We'll have a good talk with your leader. We'll apologize on behalf of Shasha. I believe your leader will be lenient."
"Creak …" The door opened and Han Bin and Bao Xing walked in.
Huang Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to Han Bin's side. "Team Leader, these two are Ma Shasha's parents."
Ma Shasha's father walked over and took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed one to Han Bin. "How should I address you?"
Han Bin waved his hand and refused. "My surname is Han, so I don't need a cigarette."
Ma Shasha's father noticed that Han Bin looked a little young, so he asked, "Officer Han, are you the person in charge here?"
"Yes."
Ma Shasha's mother hurriedly asked, "Are you also in charge of our Shasha's case?"
"Yes."
"Wow, we finally found the right person." Ma Shasha's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Bin gestured for them to sit down. "Please take a seat. Take your time."
"Thank you." The two hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
Huang Qianqian poured a glass of water for each of them. She wanted to pour water for them just now, but they kept pestering her, so she couldn't do it.
Ma Shasha's father politely took a sip of water, put down the glass and said, "Officer Han, we came here today to ask you a favor."
"You can't say that. We, the police, serve the people. If there's anything you need, just tell me. As long as it doesn't violate the discipline of the police, I'll try my best to help," Han Bin said with a smile.
Ma Shasha's father said, "We received a notice in the morning that Shasha had been arrested by the police, so we immediately rushed over to find out what was going on."
"Last night, we were arresting a murder suspect. Ma Shasha obstructed the investigation, insulted and assaulted the police officers, so we detained her according to the law," Han Bin said.
Ma Shasha's mother hurriedly said, "Officer, it's not that serious. My daughter is still young. She was just drunk and threw a tantrum. What can she do to the police? You're a great person and don't hold a grudge against a lowly person. Please let her go.
Han Bin said sternly, "Age is not a reason to commit a crime. If you commit a crime, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility."
Ma Shasha's mother argued, "You just said that the police serve the people. Even if they beat up an ordinary person, there's no need to detain them."
"The beating is secondary. The key is that she obstructed law enforcement. We are arresting a murder suspect. If the suspect escapes because of her obstruction, who can bear the responsibility?" Han Bin added.
"Also, let me correct you. The police serve the people, but it doesn't mean that they can be beaten at will."
Ma Shasha's father said, "Officer, what kind of murderer are you arresting? Are you mistaken? My daughter is a student. How could she be involved with a murderer?"
"Yeah, my daughter is going to study abroad soon. She has a bright future ahead of her. If you detain her for such a small matter, it's tantamount to destroying her," Ma Shasha's mother echoed.
"Hmph." Bao Xing snorted. "To tell you the truth, we didn't destroy your daughter. We saved her."
Ma Shasha's father was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Bao Xing whispered a few words into Han Bin's ear. Then, he walked to the computer and took a video of the Golden Cube Bar's surveillance.
"Here's a video of your daughter with the suspect. You can take a look."
Bao Xing played the video.
Ma Shasha and HAL were hugging each other. Their footsteps were weak and they looked drunk. Blackie's big hand was reaching into Ma Shasha's clothes and he even kissed Ma Shasha with his sausage mouth. Ma Shasha did not reject him either.
Ma Shasha's father's voice was trembling. "What is this? Who is this Black Egg? Why is he hugging my daughter? He's behaving like a hooligan. Why aren't you arresting him? "
Ma Shasha's mother's mouth was agape. "This is a foreigner. Shasha is going to go abroad. Is she going to learn English from a foreigner?"
"Who the f * ck learns a foreign language like this?" Ma Shasha's father scolded. He was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He grabbed Bao Xing's arm and questioned, "What is this Blackie's relationship with my daughter? Where is he taking my daughter?"
Bao Xing did not hide anything. He said honestly, "Blackie is a murder suspect. He met your daughter at a bar and is preparing to take her to a hotel."
Ma Shasha's father was furious. No father would want to see his precious daughter with a Black Egg.
"Bam!" Ma Shasha's father's legs turned to jelly and he knelt down. "Police comrades, thank you. I thank you."
If Blackie and Ma Shasha were not arrested, then what would happen next … He did not dare to think about it. Ma Shasha's father gritted his teeth. Dirty, too dirty.
"Old Ma, what are you doing? Get up." Ma Shasha's mother quickly pulled her husband up.
Bao Xing also went over to help her up.
Ma Shasha's father's expression was complicated. It was as if he had aged a lot in an instant. "Police comrades, I'm sorry. You did the right thing. We shouldn't have come today. You can lock them up for as long as you want. I don't care."
"Old Ma, what are you saying? Our daughter is still in custody. If she has a criminal record, how is she going to go abroad?" Ma Shasha's mother was anxious.
"Out of the country, out of the country? Why send her out to be played by those old men? Even if you don't find it shameful, I find it shameful. I'd rather not have this daughter than let her bring shame to our Old Ma family." Ma Shasha's father exploded.
"Shasha has never drunk before. She's just drunk. She'll be more sensible when she's older," Ma Shasha's mother explained.
"Pui, a dog can't stop itself from eating sh * t. I don't want this kind of daughter." Ma Shasha's father was furious. He could not accept his daughter being with Blackie.
When he saw that scene, he felt as if his dignity was being trampled on.
He could not bear to eat or drink and was even prepared to pay for her to go abroad for her studies. Yet, she got together with those Blackies.
Was he an idiot?
He carefully took care of the good cabbages that were watered and fertilized every day and sent them to the pigsty.
Ma Shasha's father was heartbroken. He had raised his daughter for nothing.
He did not have the face to stay there any longer. He grabbed his wife and left the police station.
Huang Qianqian stood by the window and muttered, "Ma Shasha's father looks so sad."
Bao Xing sighed. He could not bear to see it. "Team Leader, did I do something wrong?"
Han Bin patted him on the shoulder. "There's nothing perfect in this world. There's no absolute right or wrong. Don't expect everyone to like you."
At noon, Team One returned one by one. Han Bin held a case summary meeting.
First, Han Bin briefly described the process of HAL's interrogation.
After that, Han Bin glanced at everyone. "What do you think?"
Li Qin took over. "We went to HAL's hotel room and did not find the deceased's belongings."
Wang Xiao said, "HAL admitted to being at the scene, but he did not admit to killing anyone. His situation is very similar to Feng Xifan's. Feng Xifan had a bloody jacket on him and HAL had a bloody dagger in his hand. If neither of them lied, could the real murderer be framing them?"
"This HAL is not a good person either. Even if he was wrongly accused, he planted the dagger in Feng Xifan's hand. Doesn't that mean he had the intention of framing him?" Bao Xing said.
"Then can we temporarily rule out Feng Xifan as a suspect based on his confession? After all, HAL has admitted that he planted the dagger in Feng Xifan's hand. Moreover, HAL has seen Feng Xifan before, but Feng Xifan did not mention HAL. This means that Feng Xifan did not go near the car and had no chance to kill Mike," Lin Qin said.
"Then how do you explain the bloody jacket on Feng Xifan? He admitted that it was his jacket," Bao Xing said.
"I think the bloody jacket on Feng Xifan proves that Feng Xifan was framed." Han Bin thought about it and analyzed.
"First of all, let's assume that Feng Xifan is the murderer. There are two ways he could have killed someone. One is when he was sober, and the other is when he was drunk.
"If Feng Xifan killed someone while sober, he would have fled immediately after killing someone. He would not have waited for HAL to frame him. At the same time, it does not match the vomit and crooked footprints he left behind, so this hypothesis is not valid.
"If Feng Xifan killed someone while drunk, he should have been very drunk based on the evidence at the scene. Then how did he get to the crime scene from Siming Street? Also, based on his drunken state at the time, he could not have killed the strong Mike cleanly. He would not have thought that the dagger would be planted in HAL's hand. Therefore, it is not valid to kill someone while drunk.
"Based on the current evidence, we can temporarily rule out Feng Xifan as a suspect.
