"Captain, we've more or less understood the situation here. Let's leave the rest to the forensics team. We'll go and give the reporter a statement," Han Bin suggested. Ma Jingbo nodded. "Not just the reporter, but the residents upstairs also have to give statements. They're all foreigners. You'll have to work hard, kid."
"I know."
The group went downstairs and first found the reporter to give a statement.
The reporter was the young couple, Liu Yangyang and Chen Xiaofan.
The young couple was being reprimanded by the school's leaders. When they were called over by the police, they felt as if they had been pardoned.
Li Qin looked at the young couple and felt that they looked familiar. "Why do I feel like I've seen you guys before?"
Han Bin's observation skills were extremely good. He recognized them at a glance and reminded her, "The couple kissing across the small tree."
"Right, right. I was wondering why they looked so familiar." Li Qin suddenly realized.
"When did you find the body?" Han Bin asked.
"Around six in the morning."
"It's so remote here. What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
"Last time, we were kissing in school and a teacher saw us. The teacher said that it was a bad influence and asked us to find a remote place in the future," Liu Yangyang said.
They were all young people and everyone understood the situation. Han Bin did not ask much.
"Did you see anything unusual at the time?"
"We only saw a person lying in a pool of blood. We were scared to death. How could we care about anything else?" Chen Xiaofan said.
Liu Yangyang thought for a moment. "I was closer at the time. I felt that the foreigner was already dead."
Chen Xiaofan complained, "You still have the cheek to say that? When you saw a dead person, you ran faster than me. How are you going to protect me in the future?"
Liu Yangyang looked embarrassed and quickly explained, "Fan Fan, I wanted to pull you and run, but the situation was too sudden and I couldn't hold you …"
"Excuses. Men are all pig trotters. They're all unreliable." Chen Xiaofan did not buy it.
Ma Jingbo laughed. "Classmate, that's a bit arbitrary. You've only interacted with a few men at such a young age."
Chen Xiaofan pursed her lips and glanced at Ma Jingbo. Then, she glanced at Liu Yangyang, who was beside her. In the end, she did not reply.
"Students, anyone would panic when they suddenly see a dead person. If you remember anything, remember to call me." Han Bin took out two business cards and handed them over.
"Uncle Policeman, is there anything else? If not, we'll go to class first."
"Go. Thank you for your cooperation."
Having been a criminal police officer for so many years, Ma Jingbo had the ability to read people's expressions. He smiled and said, "Girls nowadays are not simple. Each of them has their own stories."
"Actually, it's still a small group. Most girls are more traditional," Li Qin said.
"Anyway, I'm past the age of finding a partner. This has nothing to do with me." Ma Jingbo acted as if it had nothing to do with him.
Han Bin: "…"
The medical examiner, Li Can, walked over. "Captain Ma, I've completed the preliminary autopsy. The person did fall to his death from upstairs. From the injuries, the height of the fall was at least four stories. The person shouldn't have survived the fall. The time of death was between 9 p.m. and 11: 30 p.m."
"I won't say anything about the identity. It shouldn't be difficult to find out."
Han Bin asked, "Medical Examiner Li, did the victim drink alcohol before he died?"
"We'll have to go back to the Municipal Bureau for an alcohol test."
"Then I'll wait for your news."
Medical Examiner Li bade farewell and left.
Ma Jingbo and Han Bin chatted for a while before Chen Yan, the person in charge of the technical department, came over.
"Sister Chen, did the technical department find anything?"
Chen Yan smiled. "We definitely found something, but I don't know if it's useful or not."
"From the current investigation, the balcony of David's house should be the scene of the fall. The body was not moved after the fall."
"We found beer cans next to the deceased with the deceased's fingerprints on them. There were also beer cans on the balcony of the deceased's house. Three of the beer cans had the deceased's fingerprints, and two of the beer cans had fingerprints of other people. "
"In addition, we found the deceased's phone on the sofa of the deceased's house. We haven't had time to compare the fingerprints on it. We're going to take it back to the Municipal Bureau's laboratory for processing."
Ma Jingbo took over the conversation. "Sister Ma, after checking the fingerprints on the phone, help me check the suspect's call records. I want a real-name list."
"How long ago was the call list?"
"Within a week."
“OK。”
"Thank you."
Ma Jingbo said to Han Bin, "We've finished investigating the scene. I'll lead the team back first. I'll leave the recording to you."
"Got it."
Ma Jingbo, the forensic science department, and the technical department returned to the Municipal Bureau, while Han Bin, Li Qin, and Jiang Yang stayed in the foreign teachers' dormitory.
Han Bin called Chen Haijing over and asked her to invite the teachers who lived in the foreign teachers' dormitory to record their statements.
The first to take the statement was Elizabeth. Han Bin smiled and said, "Ms. Elizabeth, we meet again."
Elizabeth shrugged. "Oh, Officer Han, every time I meet you, it's thrilling. Last time it was Mike, this time it's David, and next time …"
"Oh, I don't dare to think about it anymore."
Han Bin smiled bitterly. "Sorry, this is my job."
"Yeah, I respect you." Elizabeth spread her hands. "If you have anything to ask, just ask."
"Did you see David yesterday?" Han Bin asked.
“no。”
"Where were you between nine and eleven thirty last night?"
"I was in my room."
"Can anyone prove it?"
Elizabeth frowned. "No, I told you before, I sleep at 10 o 'clock every night."
"Have you been to David's house before?"
“no。”
"Did you hear anything unusual last night?"
"Uh …" Elizabeth recalled for a moment. "I think it was around ten. I heard a 'bang'. I was half-asleep, so I didn't pay attention to it. Now that I think about it, David might have jumped at that time."
"Jumped? You think he committed suicide? "Han Bin asked.
"Oh my god, oh my god, you mean that David was murdered as well? Both of my colleagues died of murder!" Elizabeth was astonished.
"You don't have to be too nervous. We still can't determine if it was suicide or murder."
"Officer Han, will it be dangerous for me to continue living here?" Elizabeth looked worried.
"You don't have to worry too much. Of course, it would be best if you could install a surveillance camera," Han Bin said.
Elizabeth suddenly thought of something. "Oh my god, you mean if the surveillance camera wasn't removed, David wouldn't have died."
"No one can say for sure," Han Bin said.
"Oh no, if I knew it would be like this, I definitely wouldn't …" Elizabeth looked remorseful.
"You don't have to blame yourself. If the murderer wanted to kill David, even if he wasn't in the foreign teachers' dormitory, he would have done it somewhere else." Han Bin comforted her and changed the topic. "Did anyone else come to the foreign teachers' building yesterday?"
Elizabeth thought about it. "There might have been guests at Zelai's house. Maybe. I'm not too sure."
"Okay, Elizabeth, if you don't mind, I'd like to take your fingerprints and DNA. It's a routine, you know."
"Yeah, I'm very willing to prove my innocence," Elizabeth said casually.
Then, Li Qin walked over and took out the fingerprint scanner. Chen Yan had already entered the suspicious fingerprint into the scanner. As long as the fingerprint was the same, an alarm would sound.
After Li Qin took the fingerprint, the scanner didn't respond. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation," she said.
"You're welcome," Elizabeth said in Chinese.
Li Qin was a little surprised. "Your Chinese is pretty good."
Elizabeth smiled from the bottom of her heart. "Yes, I teach my students foreign languages, and my students teach me Chinese. They are all great. They are not only my students, but also my teachers."
