Ma Jingbo glanced at the others. "Does anyone else have a different opinion?"
Li Cunrong smiled. "I think Team Leader Han's analysis is very comprehensive. It should be these two situations."
The others also nodded.
Ma Jingbo continued, "Since everyone has the same opinion, I will arrange the next task."
"Deputy Captain Li will verify Chen Baifeng's situation. I saw that you asked Chen Baifeng to draw a road map. This is good. We can check the surveillance along the way to see if what Chen Baifeng said is true."
Li Cunrong replied, "No problem."
"Cai Jing is Chen Shaoyan's mother. Her motive is the biggest among all of them and she is also a suspect. Captain Lin will continue to pursue this clue."
Lin Xingbin nodded.
"Chen Shaohuan is also one of the suspects. Han Bin will be responsible for taking her statement."
"Yes."
Ma Jingbo finished and changed the topic. "There is another clue that I want to tell everyone. When Han Bin took Hong Xin's statement, Hong Xin confessed a clue. There might be another person involved in the drowning case. This person might be Li Yuan and Jiang Han's companion. He is about the same age as Li Yuan and Jiang Han. The three of them might have gone to the river together to play, but this student did not fall into the river."
"Whether this student exists or is related to the murder case is not very clear at the moment, but I think it is still necessary to investigate."
Lin Xingbin continued, "I have seen the file of the drowning case, and there was no mention of this student. Li Yuan and Jiang Han are already dead, and it has been so many years. I am afraid it will not be easy to find them."
Li Cunrong said, "After Chen Shaoyan drowned, the Li and Jiang families were afraid of being responsible, so they took Li Yuan and Jiang Huawen away. The other student is not related to the case, so it is even more impossible for him to show up."
"Leave this clue to me." Ma Jingbo already had an idea. He planned to go to the experimental primary school to investigate, and then to the Xing North Road Police Station to ask.
After the meeting, everyone split up to investigate.
Han Bin took two police officers to investigate Chen Shaohuan. One was Jiang Yang, and the other was Zhao Jingwen from Gao City's Criminal Investigation Unit.
Han Bin was not familiar with the situation in Gao City, so it was more convenient to have the assistance of a local police officer.
Zhao Jingwen was a woman in her twenties. She was not tall, had short hair, and looked very energetic. She had been in charge of contacting Chen Shaohuan.
Han Bin lit a cigarette and smoked by himself. Chen Baifeng's surrender made Han Bin more suspicious of Chen Shaohuan.
Li Yuan and Jiang Han died one after the other. Han Bin felt that their deaths must be related. Chen Baifeng came to surrender, but he only admitted that he was Jiang Han's murderer. He did not mention anything about Li Yuan's death. This in itself was suspicious.
From Han Bin's point of view, the possibility of Chen Baifeng taking the blame for someone else was very high, and the only one worth it was his daughter, Chen Shaohuan.
"Jiang Yang, send a message to Qianqian and ask her to investigate Chen Shaohuan's background."
"Yes."
…
Just as Han Bin was getting impatient and was about to locate Chen Shaohuan's phone number, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open and a woman rushed into the office.
"Who are you looking for?" Zhao Jingwen said.
"I'm Chen Baifeng's daughter, Chen Shaohuan. Where is my father?"
Han Bin looked at the woman in front of him. She was in her thirties, wearing a pink mask, dyed brown hair, and carrying a blue bag in her hand.
"Your father came to the police station to surrender and admitted to killing Jiang Huawen. He has been detained by the police," Han Bin said.
"You're wrong. My father is not the murderer at all, and he can't be the murderer," Chen Shaohuan said with certainty.
"How do you know Chen Baifeng is not the murderer?"
Chen Shaohuan pointed to her chest. "He is my father. We see each other every day. How can I not know what kind of person he is and what he will do?"
"Ms. Chen, don't get excited. Sit down and talk." Han Bin made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Shaohuan licked her dry lips. "Can you pour me a glass of water? I'm about to die of anger."
Zhao Jingwen poured a glass of water and placed it in front of her.
Chen Shaohuan picked up the glass and drank the water in one breath.
Han Bin has been observing her. This woman is not shy.
"Chen Shaohuan, did you receive a summons from the police last night?"
Chen Shaohuan put down the glass. "Yes."
"Then why did you only come now?" Han Bin asked.
Chen Shaohuan shrugged her shoulders. "Didn't I say that I've been living in my in-laws' house recently? I couldn't come here immediately."
"Where is your in-laws' house?"
"Xiaogang Town, thirty miles away from Gaocheng."
"When did you go there?"
"Two days ago."
"When exactly?"
"Well, the afternoon before yesterday."
"Yesterday, did you come to Gaocheng?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
Chen Shaohuan shook her head slightly. "Of course."
Han Bin coldly snorted. "You're lying. Not only did you come to Qindao City yesterday, but you also appeared at the crime scene."
"Ahem …" Chen Shaohuan lightly coughed and asked, "You can't just say that. Do you have any evidence?"
"At that time, the fire truck had just left. I'm sure you were standing in front of An Ding Elementary School's Family Courtyard. We all have law enforcement recorders. Do you want me to find it for you to see?" Han Bin asked.
Chen Shaohuan's forehead was overflowing with sweat. "Officer, did you remember wrongly?"
"It doesn't matter if I remember wrongly or not. Anyway, I have the law enforcement recorders there. The key is whether you lied or not. Once you lie to the police, then the testimony you provide will not be credible. Think carefully before you answer. "Han Bin said.
Last night, when Han Bin arrived at An Ding Elementary School's Family Courtyard, he observed the crowd and happened to see Chen Shaohuan in the crowd. Han Bin's observation was far better than ordinary people. He would never remember wrongly.
Chen Shaohuan wiped the sweat on her forehead. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Yes, I went to An Ding Elementary School's Family Courtyard last night."
Han Bin made a note in his notebook. "Why did you lie?"
Chen Shaohuan scratched her head. "I didn't want to lie. I just have a conflict with the Jiangs. I'm afraid the police will suspect me. It's better to avoid trouble. I'm so busy every day. Who would want to come to the police station to make a statement?"
"You were in Gao City, but you said you weren't there. You went to the crime scene, but you said you didn't. This kind of behavior will only make you more suspicious and make the police more suspicious of you," Han Bin said.
Chen Shaohuan sighed and shook her head. "What did the Chen family do in our previous life? Jiang Huawen killed my brother. Not only is the Jiangs not grateful, but they also bite the hand that feeds them. How can they bully others like this?"
"Well, now that the Jiangs are dead, they blame it on us. I hate the Jiangs. I heard that their house exploded. Can't I go there and watch the show? Isn't it normal? "
"I can't take revenge myself, but God has avenged me. Can't I watch the show?"
Han Bin interrupted her. "You can watch the show, but you can't lie to the police. It doesn't matter if you lie. The police will send a large number of officers to investigate. I can detain you for this alone. "
"No, no, no. I have children at home. Besides, our Chen family is so miserable. My brother is dead, and my father is locked up. If you lock me up too, it's too …" Chen Shaohuan's eyes were red, and her voice was choked.
"If you don't want to be detained, answer the police's questions honestly. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I came here to make things clear. Also, about my father, he must be wronged. He's so old, he can't stay in jail anymore. His body can't take it," Chen Shaohuan said helplessly.
Han Bin knocked on the table and said seriously, "Don't use the word wronged. No one wronged him. He came to surrender himself. Whether he's a murderer or not, he broke the law. It's reasonable and legal to detain him."
Chen Shaohuan slapped her thigh. "Sigh, what is this? Isn't this just making trouble?"
"Who are you saying is making trouble?"
"Who else can it be? My father. He has nothing to do with it. Why did he come to the police station to surrender himself?" Chen Shaohuan sighed.
"This is what I want to ask. Since it has nothing to do with Chen Baifeng, why did he come to surrender himself? If you want to prove Chen Baifeng's innocence, you have to give him a reasonable explanation for his behavior."
"What explanation? Parents will only do that for their children." Chen Shaohuan picked up the glass of water, but when it reached her mouth, she realized that the water inside had been finished. "Sigh, he probably surrendered himself for me."
Han Bin took the opportunity to ask, "So, you're the murderer who killed Jiang Huawen."
Chen Shaohuan retorted loudly, "I'm not!"
"If you're not the murderer, why did Chen Baifeng surrender himself for you?" Han Bin asked.
"I … I don't have a good temper, especially after my brother died. It put a lot of pressure on me. On one hand, it's because he didn't deserve it. On the other hand, my second uncle and aunt have no one to rely on. My husband and I have to support six elderly people. How can we not be tired? We also have to take care of the children. It's all about this and that. It's so annoying. "
"Because of this, I complained a lot in front of my parents. Later, my mother passed away, and my father was the only one who listened to my complaints. He's my father, the closest person to me. Other than him, I don't like to talk to anyone else. "
Han Bin continued to ask, "Why didn't you tell your husband? Are you two not on good terms? "
"It's okay. I just don't want him to see that side of me. Even though we're already an old married couple, I think we should pay attention to our image in front of each other so that our marriage can last longer."
"I don't have so many scruples in front of my parents. Because of my brother, the conflict between me and the Jiang family became bigger and bigger. I quarreled, hit, and said some harsh words. I even went to the police station. In the end, I even lost my job. I used to be a teacher, and my classmates respected me very much."
"Although I don't have a good temper, I'm conscientious in teaching. Our class's grades have always been among the best in our class. I like teaching very much and always thought that I could do it for the rest of my life. But because of the fight with the Jiang family, the school considered the impact and fired me."
"I didn't expect this to happen. It was just a fight. Why did I have to destroy someone else's job? I also went to the school leader for this matter. The leader said that someone had been complaining to the Education Bureau, saying that the teachers in the school were tainted and had bad character and ethics. That's why I was fired."
Chen Shaohuan looked very agitated and shouted, "I don't have to think about it to know that it must be the Jiangs who went to the Education Bureau to complain. My brother died in order to save Jiang Huawen. Not only did they not feel the slightest gratitude, but they also wanted to kill my family. How could I not hate them?
Han Bin struck while the iron was hot and said, "So you killed Jiang Huawen and injured Jiang Kunshan and Zhao Chunlian."
"I didn't!" Chen Shaohuan straightened her neck and cried, "I have old parents and children to take care of. How could I do this kind of thing? I can't have anything happen to me. My responsibility is too heavy and the pressure is too great. So I wanted to vent. I often said some harsh words in front of my dad. He might have misunderstood. "
"What harsh words?"
"I said that Jiang Huawen must die a horrible death. All the Jiang family members will die for no reason. I even said that if he really forced me into a corner one day, I would burn down his entire house. "
"I said it out of anger. I didn't expect my dad to take it seriously."
Han Bin was dubious about Chen Shaohuan's explanation. He continued to ask, "Didn't Chen Baifeng tell you before he turned himself in?"
"Like you said before, I went to the Family Building of An Ding Primary School last night. Of course, this doesn't mean that I did anything illegal. Gao City is only so big, and there are many acquaintances. News of what happened there will spread quickly. "
"Last night, I heard that the Family Building of An Ding Primary School was on fire, so I paid attention because I knew that the Jiang family lived there. I hate them very much, so when I heard that something might have happened to them, I wanted to go and watch the show. "
"When I arrived outside the Family Building, I found that the police had cordoned off the area. After asking around, I confirmed that something had happened to the Jiang family. When I heard the news, I was overjoyed. I was happier than if I had won the lottery. God has eyes and finally dealt with this evil family. "
"When I went home, I told my father about it. I wanted him to be happy. Who knew that he would ask me if it had anything to do with me. At first, I was confused. Later, I understood what he meant. At that time, I didn't think too much of it. I just smiled and said that I hoped it had something to do with me. "
"After that, my dad persuaded me to go live with my in-laws for a while. At first, I didn't want to go. I felt that there was no need to go. But my dad said that the Chen family and the Jiang family had a long-standing grudge. If something happened to the Jiang family at the scene, the police would definitely investigate the Chen family. There was no need to get into this trouble. "
"I thought so too, so I persuaded my husband and went back to my in-laws' house. At that time, I didn't think much about it. I just didn't want to deal with the police. After all, no one wants to be a suspect. "
Chen Shaohuan's tears fell quietly from the corner of her eyes. "I didn't expect that my father would take my joke seriously and go to the police station to turn himself in. He misunderstood. He turned himself in for me."
Zhao Jingwen said, "Just because of your words, your father went to the police station to turn himself in. Don't you think this reason is a bit far-fetched?"
"Is it far-fetched?" Chen Shaohuan answered her own question. "It's not far-fetched at all. The Jiang family had just died. At three o 'clock in the morning, you couldn't wait to summon me. It means that you also think that I'm the murderer. Even professional police like you think so, let alone my father."
"But what I want to say is that I'm really innocent. I didn't kill the Jiang family. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. I have old people and children to take care of. I have to take care of them. "Chen Shaohuan cried.
"Where were you between one o 'clock and seven o' clock yesterday afternoon?"
Chen Shaohuan wiped her tears and laughed at herself. "See, you still suspect me."
"Routine questioning."
"Phew …"
Chen Shaohuan let out a long breath and recalled, "I was working. Although I'm not a teacher anymore, I still have to support my family. I was working as a counter in a shopping mall. I worked from noon to eight o 'clock in the evening. I was in the mall the whole time. If you don't believe me, you can check."
"May 12th, between 9: 30 and 10: 00 in the evening, where were you?"
"I can't remember. I should be at home at that time."
"Think carefully."
"At home."
"Who can prove it?"
"My husband."
Han Bin wrote down this information, then clicked on his phone and found the high-definition screenshot of the stadium surveillance. "Do you know this person?"
There was a woman in the photo, wearing a maroon coat. Her face could not be seen clearly, and only a rough figure could be seen.
Chen Shaohuan glanced at it, and her expression immediately changed. "This … this coat looks familiar. I should have one too."
"What about this person?"
"I don't recognize this person."
"Where is your maroon coat?"
"I …" Chen Shaohuan pinched her forehead and recalled, "I bought that coat many years ago. Later, the style became a little old and I didn't like to wear it anymore. Oh right, I gave it to my aunt."
Han Bin took the opportunity to ask, "Are you saying that the woman in the surveillance footage is your aunt, Cai Jing?"
"No, no, this woman is not my aunt."
"Are you sure?"
"How can I not even recognize my own … aunt? Although I can't see her face, I can tell from her figure that she's not my aunt." Chen Shaohuan wanted to say something but stopped.
"When was the last time you saw Cai Jing?"
Chen Shaohuan lowered her head and choked with sobs. "More than a year ago. I haven't heard from her since then. I …"
"You haven't looked for her?"
"I have. Someone said that they saw her in the city. I also went there, but I still couldn't find her. She's so old, and her spirit is not good. I'm also very worried about her." Chen Shaohuan's expression was a little complicated.
"Who said that they saw your aunt in the city? Where exactly is she? "
"An old neighbor's child. To be honest, she's near the bus stop on Jinguang Street in Xinhua District. I went there to look for her, but I couldn't find her."
Han Bin wrote down the address and asked, "What's your relationship with Cai Jing?"
"She is my aunt and my cousin's mother."
Han Bin observed her expression and said, "But I heard that you and Chen Shaoyan are biological siblings. Later, you were adopted by your uncle's family. Cai Jing is your biological mother."
Chen Shaohuan's body trembled, and she looked surprised. "How do you know about this? Who told you?"
"Do you know Hong Xin?"
"Hong Xin." Chen Shaohuan frowned. "I have an impression of her, but I can't remember who she is."
"Twelve years ago, before Chen Shaoyan died, someone introduced a partner to the two of them." Han Bin reminded her.
"Yes, I was wondering why the name sounded so familiar. It turns out to be this woman." Chen Shaohuan said thoughtfully. "Could it be that she told the police about my life?"
Han Bin nodded. "Chen Shaoyan told her."
Chen Shaohuan thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, my brother shouldn't know about this. He was only a little over a year old at the time. It's impossible for him to remember this. And from what I know, the elders wouldn't tell him about this. "
"Could it be that he heard the news from an outsider?"
Chen Shaohuan shook her head. "Back then, my father hadn't been assigned to the fertilizer factory yet, and the old neighbors didn't know about this."
Han Bin made a note in the notebook and continued to ask, "Do you know much about Chen Shaoyan's heroic act of saving people?"
Chen Shaohuan sighed. "I know, of course I know. He was the hope of the whole family. The elders were worried sick. How could I not care about him?"
Han Bin said, "According to the clues we got, at that time, there might have been three primary school students playing together by the river. Li Yuan and Jiang Han fell into the river one after another. Although the other primary school student didn't fall into the river, he was involved in the whole case. Do you know the identity of this primary school student?"
Chen Shaohuan was a little puzzled. "I'm not sure. I asked the police, the Jiang family, and the onlookers, but I didn't hear about the other primary school student."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. After that, I also went to the school. They only said that Li Yuan and Jiang Han went to play by the river. I didn't hear about the third primary school student."
Han Bin marked the key points in the notebook, which was a little different from what Hong Xin had told him.
Chen Shaohuan wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "Police comrade, actually … I have always had a question about my brother's rescue." "What question?" Han Bin asked.
"How should I put it … My brother is not a bad person, but he is the kind of person who doesn't care about anything. He is most afraid of getting into trouble. He is also not a kind-hearted person. If someone really fell on the side of the road, I don't think he would dare to help them. "
At this point, Chen Shaohuan's tone was a little solemn. "But why did he suddenly become kind that day and jump into the river? I've never been able to figure it out. It's not like him."
Han Bin touched his chin and said, "You mean to say that he probably didn't volunteer to save people?"
"That's right. The Chen family only has one son. Although he can swim, he was taught by the elders from a young age that he must never go into the river." Chen Shaohuan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
"This is why I can't let this matter go for so many years."
"Didn't you tell the police about this at the time?"
"I did. They even did a forensic examination." Chen Shaohuan shrugged and said helplessly, "The autopsy report said that Shaoyan was indeed drowned, so the possibility of homicide was ruled out."
Han Bin thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Have you seen Hong Xin?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. She and Shaoyan didn't know each other for a long time. I only heard Shaoyan mention her name, but I haven't seen her. However, my second uncle and aunt seem to have seen her."
Han Bin twirled his pen. Hong Xin clearly said that she had seen Chen Shaohuan once and even saw her wearing the maroon coat, but Chen Shaohuan said that she had never seen her. One of them must be lying.
