After hearing Han Bin's analysis, no one had any objections.
Huang Qianqian asked curiously, "What about HAL? Is he a suspect? "
"His situation is more complicated." Han Bin walked to the whiteboard and wrote HAL's name.
"First of all, we have to figure out whether HAL was drunk or not. If HAL wasn't drunk, he must be the murderer," Li Qin said.
"I've seen the surveillance footage of Jin Lifang. HAL must have been drinking that night, but I can't tell if he was drunk or not. There's no evidence of him being drunk at the scene. "
"Then let's analyze it from another perspective. Let's assume that HAL is the murderer. Judging from the splattered blood, HAL should have been wearing Feng Xifan's coat to kill Mike, which means that Feng Xifan was present at the time."
"This raises a question. Feng Xifan was dead drunk at the time. How did he get to the scene?"
Bao Xing guessed. "Could it be that Mike and HAL happened to pass by and saw Feng Xifan drunk, so they put him in the car? Halfway there, HAL put on Feng Xifan's coat and killed Mike."
Wang Xiao shook his head. "I've checked the surveillance footage near the scene of Feng Xifan's drunkenness. There was no black Buick."
Han Bin took over. "Bao Xing's guess lacks evidence. First of all, based on Feng Xifan's drunken state, it's highly likely that he got carsick and vomited. The vomit in the green belt is evidence. Also, Feng Xifan's fingerprints and vomit were not found in the car."
"Also, Mike, as the owner, would not let a drunk stranger get in the car. So, I think the possibility of HAL committing the crime alone is very small. "
Han Bin lit a cigarette, took a drag, and continued to analyze. "Let's assume that this is a gang crime, and HAL is one of the suspects. Feng Xifan is a scapegoat found by HAL's accomplice, and HAL is Mike's mole. The two of them killed Mike by scamming him, then framed Feng Xifan and fled the scene. I think this hypothesis is possible. "
"The third scenario is that HAL is not the real murderer. Feng Xifan was the murderer's scapegoat. The murderer put on Feng Xifan's coat and stopped Mike's car with a scam. He brutally killed Mike. Only then did the murderer realize that HAL was in the car, but he was already drunk. "
"The murderer changed his mind at the last minute. He planted the dagger in HAL's hand and draped the jacket over Feng Xifan. This way, the murderer has two scapegoats."
"After that, HAL was the first to wake up. He discovered the situation at the scene. Just like what he said, he saw Feng Xifan next to the green belt and planted the dagger in Feng Xifan's hand. So, the police's initial investigation was focused on Feng Xifan."
After listening to Han Bin's analysis, no one spoke immediately.
After a moment of silence, Bao Xing concluded, "In other words, there must be other suspects in this case."
Han Bin nodded. "That's right. I think the other suspect had a means of transportation. He might have used a car to transport Feng Xifan to the crime scene. The next time we check the surveillance footage, we need to compare the scene where Feng Xifan was drunk with the car at the crime scene. The suspect's car should have been to both places at the same time."
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"What do you think? Please share your thoughts," Han Bin said.
Bao Xing said, "Team Leader, I've contacted the informant. He should come to the Municipal Public Security Bureau in the afternoon to make a statement."
"Okay, you continue to be in charge."
…
At noon, Han Bin took a nap as usual.
He went to the squadron leader's office to report at two o 'clock, but Ma Jingbo was not there. He had no idea what he was busy with.
After returning to the office, Han Bin made a cup of tea and stared out the window in a daze.
Everyone else had been assigned tasks, and Han Bin could be considered to be taking a break from his busy schedule.
After a while, Bao Xing led a man into the house.
The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a black coat and dark blue jeans. He looked a little tired.
"Team Leader, this is the informant," Bao Xing introduced.
"Okay, you'll be in charge of making a statement."
Bao Xing called the informant to the side and sat him down. "Name, age, gender …"
"My name is Li Jiangguo. I'm 32 years old. Needless to say, I'm a man, the local son-in-law …"
Bao Xing went straight to the point. "When did you find the black Buick?"
"On the morning of the 16th, around eight o 'clock. When I passed by, I saw blood stains by the side of the car. I looked into the car and saw a person lying in the back with a lot of blood on his body. I called the police then."
"Did you go into the car to check?"
"No, no. I don't dare to do that, and I don't want to cause trouble. Calling the police is considered as doing my duty as a citizen."
Bao Xing jotted it down in his notebook and asked, "Have you ever thought that he might still be alive and can be saved?"
"I didn't think that much. I haven't worked for more than three months, and I'm starving to death. How can I care about others?" After Li Jiangguo finished speaking, he felt that it was a little inappropriate. He sighed. "If I'm poor, I'll take care of myself. If I'm rich, I'll help the world. That's all I can do."
"Why did you turn off your phone after reporting the case?"
"We had just started work that day, and I didn't want to delay work. I happened to have two SIM cards, so I turned off the SIM card that was used to call the police. I thought that I could turn it back on in a few days, and it might be fine." Li Jiangguo lowered his head.
"At the crime scene, did you notice anything unusual?"
"I don't think so. It's been so many days, and I can't remember anything," Li Jiangguo said perfunctorily.
Bao Xing asked a few more questions, but Li Jiangguo did not provide any valuable clues, so he let him leave first.
After sending him out of the office, Bao Xing asked, "Team Leader, what do you think of this Li Jiangguo?"
"I didn't find any obvious signs of lying," Han Bin said.
Huang Qianqian was holding a white porcelain cup with a girl in pigtails on it. "I always feel that this person lacks social ethics and social responsibility. He's too cold."
Wang Xiao sighed. "He's not cold, but he's overwhelmed by life. Only when he's full will he have the energy to talk about morality and responsibility. For a person who's struggling to make ends meet, these things are too distant and impractical."
Bao Xing asked, "Brother Wang, where did you learn all these things from?"
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "The more I see, the more I'll understand."
In the afternoon, Team One's job was to check the surveillance footage.
Han Bin also joined in. When it came to the efficiency of checking the surveillance footage, Han Bin alone was equivalent to three.
Of course, he had to rest for about twenty minutes, or his eyes would not be able to take it.
After a while, Jiang Yang stood up and shouted, "Team Leader, I found a clue here."
Han Bin walked over. "What clue?"
"I found a white SUV near the scene of Feng Xifan's drunkenness and the crime scene." Jiang Yang found the high-definition screenshots of the two cars.
Bao Xing also came over. "Big Brother, these two cars only look similar. Look at the logo. One is Hyundai, and the other is Trumpchi."
Li Qin pointed at the screen. "The license plate number is also different."
Han Bin's observation skills were far better than the average person's. After a careful look, he said with certainty, "These are the same car."
"Team Leader, how can you tell?"
"The Hyundai and Trumpchi SUVs are more similar, but the details are different. The position of the headlights and the shape of the wheel hub can't be exactly the same." Han Bin pointed at the computer screen.
"Look at these two pictures again. Other than the logo and the license plate, everything else is exactly the same. It should be the same car."
Everyone looked at it again carefully.
Bao Xing was surprised. "It's really exactly the same. It's very likely that they deliberately faked one car into two."
Han Bin pointed at the picture on the screen. "Everyone, look carefully at this car. We have to investigate its whereabouts."
"Yes."
