At one o 'clock in the morning, at Afanti Barbecue Restaurant.
Most restaurants were closed at this time, and only the barbecue restaurant was open for business.
The barbecue restaurant was not big, about fifty to sixty square meters. There were eight tables, two of which were occupied.
Outside the barbecue restaurant, two tables were joined together, and six people sat at the tables. They were the Second Squad of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit.
At that moment, Han Bin and the others had just finished ordering the skewers. Bao Xing yelled, "Boss, give me a pot of tea. Strong."
The case had just happened, and it was the golden time to solve the case. Coupled with the fact that the case had not been sorted out, and a lot of evidence and clues had not been investigated, it was estimated that they would not be able to sleep tonight.
Ma Jingbo took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to everyone. He lit one himself. "Everyone, eat more later. The team has a lot of funds for this month. You can only work if you can eat. Don't save money for the bureau."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Xing yelled, "Boss, give me ten more kidneys."
Ma Jingbo did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Kid, are you waiting for me to say that?"
A woman in her thirties walked over with a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts. "Everyone, please eat first. The kidneys will be here soon."
"Don't forget to add chili."
"I won't. All your skewers have chili." The lady boss put down the pot and peanuts and went into the restaurant.
Although the restaurant was not big, the dishes were served quickly. Thirty pork tendons, ten chicken gizzards, ten tendons, ten oysters, ten kidneys, and six bowls of ramen.
It was already midnight, and everyone had just left the crime scene. They were hungry and immediately started eating.
They sat outside the restaurant. To save time, they ate and discussed the case.
They did not delay the case and could fill their stomachs.
Ma Jingbo ate a skewer of pork tendons and took a sip of tea. "Everyone has seen the crime scene. Tell me what you think."
Han Bin said, "There are only two obvious injuries on the suspect's body. One is a fatal wound on the neck, and the other is an electric injury on the back of the waist. There are no defensive or resistance injuries."
"I think the suspect may have used an electric baton to knock out the victim, and strangled the victim to death while he was unconscious."
Ma Jingbo pondered for a moment. "Your speculation is more in line with the victim's injuries."
"Based on this speculation, the swimming pool shouldn't be the primary crime scene. The victim was probably killed near the swimming pool and dumped into it."
Ma Jingbo's words were not just speculation, but based on his own criminal investigation experience.
In many people's impression, the water of a swimming pool was shallow. It was only a meter or so, so they didn't think it was dangerous.
However, a meter of water could still drown a person to death. Moreover, the resistance of water was very strong. There were many uncertainties when killing people in the water.
According to Han Bin's speculation, the victim would first be electrocuted and then strangled to death. If Ma Jingbo were to put himself in Han Bin's shoes, he would never kill someone in the pool because it would be too difficult.
First of all, if the suspect disguised himself as a swimmer, he would definitely not wear too many clothes. It would not be easy to hide the electric baton and the murder weapon.
Also, if he were to kill someone in the pool, he would definitely need to go into the water. It would be inconvenient to move after going into the water, and it would be difficult to get close to the victim.
The electric baton was prone to leakage of electricity in the water. If he was not careful, it was very likely that he would electrocute himself.
Lastly, if the victim really was electrocuted in the water, he could just drown to death. It would be much easier than strangling him to death.
In summary, Ma Jingbo felt that the victim should have been killed by the swimming pool and then thrown into the swimming pool.
Ma Jingbo continued, "The murderer threw the body into the swimming pool, most likely to cover up some clues and evidence."
Han Bin ate a piece of roasted lamb loin and replied, "Tomorrow when Qianqian goes to work, ask her to go to the forensic and technical departments to see if there are any new clues."
Li Qin wiped her hands and flipped open her notebook. "I found the victim's identity from the swimming pool's membership information."
Name: Li Yuan
Age: 23
Cell phone number: 157325 XXXXX
Identity card number: 370216 XXXXX
Emergency contact number: 15326 XXXXX
"The victim used storage cabinet number seven. I have already told the technical department to have them do a thorough examination of storage cabinet number seven and collect the fingerprints of storage cabinet number seven," Li Qin said in a low voice.
"Also, I have contacted the victim's emergency contact person. It's the victim's mother. She will rush to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to identify the body as soon as possible."
Ma Jingbo glanced at everyone. "Are there any other clues?"
Bao Xing said, "I have already pulled up the stadium's surveillance. Maybe we can find traces of the suspect."
After listening to everyone's report, Ma Jingbo began to assign tasks.
Han Bin, Li Qin, and Bao Xing helped the victim's family identify the body and gave their statements.
Wang Xiao and Jiang Yang checked the stadium's surveillance to find traces of the suspect.
Ma Jingbo went to the technical department to see if he could locate the victim's cell phone.
After eating the skewers, they ordered two baskets of steamed dumplings, three bowls of soup noodles, and two bowls of mixed noodles. Han Bin ordered a pilaf.
Just as everyone was about to pay and leave, there was a commotion in the restaurant …
There were two tables of customers at Afanti Barbecue Restaurant. A man and a woman were at the inner table, and they looked like a couple. Three young men were at the outer table, and there were two bottles of white wine on the table.
One of the men with dyed blonde hair stood up and lit a cigarette. He took a puff in what he thought was a cool way and walked toward the couple.
The blonde man had drunk quite a bit, and his body was swaying. He was already a little tipsy.
"Girl, add me on WeChat." The blonde man took out his phone and waved it.
The girl was quite pretty. She glanced at the blonde without saying anything and lowered her head to eat the oyster.
"Shhh …" The blonde's two friends hissed and gave him the middle finger.
The blonde's expression was a little ugly. He threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out. "Girl, let's get to know each other. Let's add each other on WeChat. We can hang out when we have time."
The girl's boyfriend threw his chopsticks on the table, stood up, and glared at the blonde. "Hang out your sister. She's my girlfriend. Go away."
"I'm not talking to you. As long as you two aren't married, I can chase after her." The blonde snorted and smiled at the girl next to him. "Pretty girl, what's your WeChat number?"
The girl spat. "Are you crazy? I don't even know you. Why should I give you my number?"
The blonde was a little annoyed. He pointed at the girl and said, "Why did you call me if you don't know me?"
The girl's boyfriend was also angry. He slapped the blonde's hand away. "Who are you pointing at? Don't look for trouble. "
"F * ck, you still dare to hit me." The blonde was angry. He waved his hand and slapped the man's face.
"Pa!" The girl's boyfriend was slapped in the face.
"What right do you have to hit my boyfriend!" The girl was also angry.
Being slapped in front of his girlfriend, the girl's boyfriend was also embarrassed. He raised his fist and punched the blonde's face.
Then, the two of them hugged each other and started fighting.
The girl also tried to stop them from fighting.
The blonde's two friends also rushed over. The five of them were fighting in the restaurant.
The lady boss took out her phone and called the police.
The owner of the restaurant did not dare to go near them. He just stood at a distance and tried to stop them.
The sound of fighting in the restaurant became louder and louder. It had already alerted Han Bin and the others.
It was already past one o 'clock. Those who were still eating outside at this hour were not easy to deal with.
Han Bin finished his pilaf and took a sip of tea. He stood up and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Han Bin brought his men into the restaurant. Ma Jingbo was still sitting outside, leisurely eating peanuts.
The five of them were still fighting. However, the three men clearly had the upper hand. They were suppressing the couple.
Han Bin flashed his police badge. "Stop! We're the police! "
The word "police" still had a certain deterrent effect. The girl and the blonde's two friends stopped fighting.
However, the blonde and the girl's boyfriend were still fighting. It was obvious that the two of them were really angry. At this moment, not to mention the police, the two of them would not be afraid even if the mayor came.
Jiang Yang walked towards the two of them.
He had a baby face and a plump body. He did not look threatening at all. After shouting a few words, it still did not have any effect.
Jiang Yang walked behind the blonde and grabbed his arm. With a forceful pull and twist, he controlled the blonde and pressed him onto a table.
Jiang Yang was very strong. The blonde struggled with all his might but to no avail.
The girl's boyfriend was also someone who knew how to take advantage of loopholes. He swung his fist at the blonde's head.
Wang Xiao also rushed up and pushed the girl's boyfriend to the ground. Bao Xing also rushed over and handcuffed the girl's boyfriend.
The blonde was also handcuffed.
Han Bin glanced at the five of them and said with interest, "Why are you fighting?"
The girl seemed to have found her backbone. She pointed at the blonde and shouted, "Officer, this guy is a hooligan. He saw that I'm pretty and wanted my WeChat ID. I didn't give it to him and he wanted to hit me. My boyfriend said something and he hit my boyfriend. The other two also hit me. They're in cahoots with the blonde. They're his accomplices. "
Han Bin pointed at the blonde. "Is that what happened?"
"No, officer. This girl is lying. It was her boyfriend who started it. I was defending myself," the blonde said.
The girl shouted, "You're lying. You were the one who started it."
"I didn't." The blonde straightened his neck and shouted, "Officer, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. It's all her fault. She provoked me first. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for her WeChat ID."
"How did she provoke you?"
"We ordered four garlic oysters. The boss had just finished roasting them when that girl came over and ate our oysters. I didn't say anything at that time. I thought she was interested in me, so I asked for her WeChat ID."
"Pfft, why don't you look in the mirror? With your ugly appearance, who would be interested in you?"
Bao Xing was amused. He asked the girl, "Did you eat his oysters?"
The girl snorted. "I didn't eat it for free. I exchanged it with him."
The blonde shouted, "Exchange your sister. Take two toasted buns and they're still cold."
"Haha …"
Han Bin and the others laughed.
Having just gone to the murder scene, everyone's mood was a little depressed. Fortunately, they met two groups of jokers.
Han Bin pointed at one of the blonde's companions and asked, "What's your name?"
"Cui Aohan."
"Come out." Han Bin called the other party to the outside of the restaurant.
"Comrade police, I didn't fight. I just went to stop the fight. This has nothing to do with me."
Han Bin waved his hand. "You don't have to be in such a hurry to disassociate yourself. Tell me what happened. If you dare to lie, it will be perjury. It's even more serious than the blonde's crime."
"Yes, I will tell the truth and cooperate with the police." Cui Aohan took a deep breath, wiped the perspiration off his forehead, and described what had happened.
Today was the blonde's treat. The boss had just served four steaming roasted oysters when the girl took two buns and left with a plate of roasted oysters. She didn't say anything, nor did she ask if they agreed.
The blonde thought that the girl was interested in him. Plus, he drank a little, so he gathered his courage and asked for the girl's WeChat, which led to the scene just now.
After Han Bin entered the restaurant again, he asked the girl, "What's your name?"
"Chen Yu."
Han Bin pointed at the blonde again. "What's your name?"
"Huang Chao."
"Do you two know each other?"
The two said at the same time. "I don't know him."
Han Bin continued to ask, "Chen Yu, since you don't know Huang Chao, why did you exchange a buns for his oysters?"
Chen Yu took out his phone and opened an app. "A lot of short videos are like this. It's become a way for young people to communicate. I thought it was fun, so I wanted to try it. Comrade police, if you don't believe me, you can look at my phone. I have at least eighty of these short videos on my phone. Who knew that I was unlucky and met a group of hooligans. "
The blonde retorted, "Are you stupid? Are there any real short videos? They're all scamming clicks and traffic. They're in cahoots. Do you really think they're strangers? "
Facing these two jokers, Han Bin was a little speechless. "Boss, did you call the police?"
"Comrade police, you're not wearing your uniform. I didn't know you were the police, so I called the police."
"That's good. The people from the police station are here. Let them handle it." Han Bin said.
Although this kind of brawl case was not difficult, it would take a long time to settle the wrangling.
"Comrade police, are you not going to do anything about this?" The lady boss asked.
"We're from the city's criminal investigation team. We're investigating a criminal case. We have to continue our mission after dinner. For a fight like this, it's more appropriate to hand it over to the police station." Han Bin said.
The lady boss's tone softened. "Then it's hard on you guys. You have to handle this case so late."
Han Bin smiled. "It's to serve the people."
The boss took the initiative to suggest, "I'll give you a discount."
Han Bin politely declined. "No need. It's just how much it should be. It's not easy for you guys to open a shop."
Chen Yu's boyfriend panicked. "Comrade police, why don't you let us go? We know we're wrong and won't fight anymore."
"That's right, comrade. Let us go. This is a small matter. We can settle it ourselves." Cui Aohan said.
Bao Xing straightened his face and reprimanded, "Now you know to be afraid. What were you doing earlier? Just eat your meal and go home to sleep."
A few minutes later, the people from the police station arrived. Han Bin explained the situation and then left with his men.
For the city's criminal investigation team, this was just a small episode after a meal …
