As soon as he finished speaking, no one could answer.
Ding Xifeng placed the documents on the table and called out, "Captain Chen."
Chen Lin opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer.
Ding Xifeng looked at Han Bin. "Team Leader Han."
Han Bin lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Ding Xifeng was embarrassed in front of the leader. Not to mention that Han Bin wasn't sure, even if he was confident, he shouldn't say anything.
What were you doing earlier? The leader was scolded and you're showing off.
You're doing this on purpose, right?
The usual way to deal with this was to not say anything and let the leader scold you for a while.
Anyway, you're not scolding the same person. It'll be fine once you get used to it.
Sure enough, after a few scoldings, Ding Xifeng calmed down and sat down. "Yesterday is over, so I won't talk about it anymore. Even if we can't catch the murderer today, we have to find out if this case has anything to do with Zhu Weichao. "
"I don't want a situation where Zhu Weichao is caught and the case hasn't been solved yet."
The meeting room became very quiet. Everyone lowered their heads and didn't say anything.
Ding Xifeng knocked on the table. "Alright, raise your heads. I'm not asking you to pretend to be mute now. Tell me about the progress of the investigation."
Han Bin raised his head and looked at Chen Lin. He realized that Chen Lin had no intention to speak. He cleared his throat and said, "Then I'll say a few words first.
"Yesterday afternoon, I brought a team to the victim's company to understand the victim's situation. Because of work and clients, on April 23rd, the victim had an argument with a colleague named Feng Ailan.
"This clue is consistent with what the victim's mother said. I mentioned it during the case summary meeting, but there are some discrepancies.
"According to the victim's mother, the victim's face was injured by a colleague named Feng. It happened more than a month ago. But Feng Ailan clearly stated that she didn't hit the victim. This can be proven by other colleagues.
"So I speculate that the person who injured the victim might be someone else. That person had a conflict with the victim and it's very likely related to the victim's murder."
After a moment of silence, Chen Lin said, "Could there be another possibility that the deceased's mother lied and the deceased was not beaten?"
"In other words, if Zhang Suyun could tell that her daughter was beaten, there's no reason her colleagues couldn't."
Han Bin explained, "According to the deceased's colleagues, the deceased rested for a few days after the conflict with Feng Ailan. If he was beaten during this period, his colleagues might not have known."
"I don't think Zhang Suyun needs to lie about this."
Ding Xifeng knocked on the table. "We can investigate this clue. Is there anything else?"
Han Bin continued, "From the situation of the statement, Feng Ailan is not very suspicious, but I think it is still necessary to verify her alibi."
"Also, if Feng Ailan is really involved in the case, she must have an accomplice if she wants to commit the crime. I think we should pay attention to it."
"In addition to the disputes between colleagues, the deceased also had some emotional issues."
"The victim had an ex-boyfriend named Lin Jianrong who broke up with the victim a year ago. Then, the deceased found her current boyfriend, Lao Zhang. According to the deceased's colleagues, it was a seamless connection, but we can't rule out the possibility that the deceased has a foot in both boats. "
"We know Lin Jianrong's name, and someone has seen him, but we still can't contact him."
"As for Lao Zhang, he is even more mysterious. The deceased's mother and sister don't know such a person exists. The deceased's close colleagues know of such a person, but they don't know the details of his situation, nor have they seen him in person."
"What we know now is that Lao Zhang has a black Mercedes-Benz and often drove to the deceased's company last year to pick her up. I contacted the building where the deceased's company is located and asked for a surveillance camera in front of the building. We can check the black Mercedes-Benz. "
"However, the surveillance camera only has less than a month's worth of video memory, so the possibility of finding it is not high."
"I personally feel that this Lao Zhang is more suspicious. Not only has the deceased's people not seen him, but there are also no items of his in the deceased's house. If the two of them are really a man and a woman, it is impossible that there are no traces of Lao Zhang in the deceased's house."
"I personally feel that these two people are also important targets for investigation."
Ding Xifeng nodded. "Are there any other clues?"
"Not at the moment."
Ding Xifeng pointed to Chen Lin next to him. "Captain Chen, how is the surveillance camera investigation going?"
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment. "The surveillance camera investigation is almost complete. So far, no suspicious person has been found."
Ding Xifeng frowned. "What do you mean by almost complete? Can the suspect fly into the room?"
"We have checked a lot of videos and checked all the men who have entered and left the building. So far, no suspicious person has been found …" Chen Lin paused for a moment and continued.
"I am going to go to the scene again to check if there are any surveillance blind spots or other ways to enter the building."
Ding Xifeng thought for a moment and ordered, "Han Bin, hand over the surveillance camera of the deceased's company building to Captain Chen. Compare it with the surveillance camera of the deceased's neighborhood. Maybe we can find a common suspect."
"Yes."
Ding Xifeng continued to ask, "How is the investigation of the deceased's mobile phone?"
"We have checked the deceased's communication records for nearly half a month. The deceased's mother, sister, friends, and clients were contacted. We have already summoned these people, and so far, we have not found anything suspicious."
Ding Xifeng knocked on the table. "It's still the same old saying, efficiency."
"Since you have a direction to investigate, I won't interfere anymore. I will give you the most freedom. If you need anything, you can ask for it. I only ask for one thing, and that is to solve the case as soon as possible. "
"Yes." Everyone agreed.
"Meeting adjourned. Captain Chen, please stay."
Han Bin breathed a sigh of relief and left with his men.
Having a meeting with Ding Xifeng was more or less stressful.
…
After returning to the office, Han Bin held a small meeting to make some specific arrangements.
After assigning tasks, Han Bin made a cup of coffee and began to look at the deceased's file and her client's information to see if he could find any clues.
Knock knock … Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Creak … A man in his fifties pushed the door open and walked in.
Huang Qianqian asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"My name is Liu Jinxue. I am here to take a statement. May I ask if this is the second squadron of the municipal criminal investigation unit?"
Han Bin sized him up. "Are you Liu Lingzui's father?"
"Yes, how should I address you?" The man's voice was a little hoarse.
"My surname is Han, and I am the team leader of the second squadron. I am also in charge of this case. Please take a seat."
Liu Jinxue sighed softly and slowly walked to the chair and sat down. "Officer Han, I still want to confirm with my own eyes. My daughter … Lingzui, is she really dead?"
"Yes."
"How did she die?"
"She was killed by someone."
Liu Jinxue clasped his hands together and trembled slightly. "Was she in pain when she died? How was she killed? "
Han Bin said, "I suggest that you don't ask."
"No, I should know. I am her father. I know that I didn't do well enough, but I love her very much … I wanted to make it up to her in the future, but it's too late." Liu Jinxue sighed.
Han Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "She was strangled to death in the bathtub."
Liu Jinxue clenched his fists tightly and scratched his head hard. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. "Who, who is so cruel?"
"We are also investigating," Han Bin said.
"It's all my fault. If I had been by her side, this might not have happened."
Han Bin comforted him. "My condolences. No one can control this kind of thing."
"Officer Han, if you have any questions, just ask."
"Do you have any suspects for the murderer of your daughter?"
Liu Jinxue shook his head. "We only see each other a few times a year. She still holds a grudge against me for divorcing my ex-wife, so she doesn't talk much when we meet. Although I am her father, I didn't do my duty."
"Some time ago, your daughter had a conflict with someone and her face was injured. Do you know that?"
Liu Jinxue gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely seek justice for her and not let her be bullied."
"Do you know that she has a boyfriend?" Han Bin asked.
"I know. It seems to be Lin Jianrong."
"You remember it quite clearly."
Liu Jinxue lowered his head and said, "Men know men the best. I was afraid that she would be cheated, so when I found out that she had a boyfriend, I got to know her better. At that time, she even thought that I was annoying."
"Do you have Lin Jianrong's contact number?"
"Yes, I asked for his number. I wanted to meet him and see what kind of person he is, but Lingling didn't agree, so I didn't contact him. I've kept his number."
Han Bin struck while the iron was hot and asked for Lin Jianrong's number.
This was a pleasant surprise.
After writing down the number, Han Bin continued to ask, "Liu Lingzui has broken up with Lin Jianrong and has a new boyfriend. Do you know that?"
Liu Jinxue was stunned and a little confused.
"No, I don't know. When did this happen?"
Han Bin replied, "It should be a year."
"She didn't tell me. I thought she was still with Lin Jianrong. I …" Liu Jinxue pinched his forehead and asked, "What about Zhang Suyun? She should know, right? Did you ask her? "
"Zhang Suyun is the same as you. She thought she was dating Lin Jianrong."
Liu Jinxue questioned, "She doesn't even have Lin Jianrong's contact number?"
"Yes."
"What kind of mother is she? I'm really …" Liu Jinxue's breathing was a little rapid and his face was a little red.
Han Bin quickly comforted him, "Mr. Liu, please don't be agitated. If you're not feeling well, I can help you call 120."
Liu Jinxue waved his hand, still panting heavily.
Huang Qianqian quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Liu Jinxue. "Mr. Liu, have some water."
Liu Jinxue drank two mouthfuls of water before his breathing slowed down. "Thank you, I'm fine. It's just an old illness."
Han Bin tried to persuade him again, "Don't be agitated. If you're not feeling well, we can stop the recording for now."
"I'm fine, I'm really fine." Liu Jinxue said weakly, "I just feel a little tired of living. I'm not a bad person, I've never broken the law, and I've never done anything wrong to anyone. Just because I got divorced, I became Chen Shimei, a heinous bad person. "
"I also have the right to pursue happiness. Only my feet know if my shoes are comfortable or not. The marriage law clearly states that marriage is free. I really can't live anymore, that's why I divorced Zhang Suyun."
"My two daughters are all grown up. One graduated from college, and the other went to college. I split the assets equally with Zhang Suyun, and I also paid for my daughters' college fees. I've done my duty. How did I become a heinous bad person? Why won't she forgive me?"
Han Bin was afraid that he would be agitated, so he didn't dare to persuade him. He just listened quietly.
Sometimes, people didn't really want to talk, but they just wanted to find someone to talk to.
"I know that Zhang Suyun didn't play a good role in this matter. She said that your father doesn't want us anymore and wants to start a family with a mistress. She said that I'm an ungrateful man and dragged my two daughters to fight with me."
"I did start a family, but people only live for a lifetime. What's wrong with me pursuing my own happiness? I divorced you, Zhang Suyun, and we're not a couple anymore. But my daughters are still my daughters. Why did I wait until Lingling finished her college entrance exams before getting divorced? "
"Now, are you satisfied? Your daughters were killed, and you, as a mother, don't know anything. You don't even know as much as I do. Who do you think you are? You don't deserve to be a mother!"
…
Liu Jinxue complained a few more times, and Han Bin felt that he wouldn't be able to get any valuable information out of him, so he asked Bao Xing to send him off.
If something happened to him because he was too agitated, Han Bin couldn't bear the responsibility.
After sending Liu Jinxue off, Han Bin called Lin Jianrong's number.
"Du du …" After a few rings, the phone was picked up, and a man's voice came through. "Hello."
"Hello, is this Lin Jianrong?"
"It's me, what's the matter?"
Han Bin said, "I'm Han Bin from the city's criminal investigation team. I'm investigating a criminal case, and I've found some clues related to you. I'd like to invite you to the police station to make a statement."
"Which public security bureau are you from? What's the matter? Tell me clearly."
"I'm from the Qingdao City Public Security Bureau. We're investigating a murder case, and the victim …"
Before Han Bin could finish, Lin Jianrong interrupted him, "Stop, stop, I'm no longer in Qingdao. You'd better find someone else to lie to. I'm not that good."
As soon as his voice fell, the other party directly hung up the phone. Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He, a police officer from the city's criminal investigation team, was actually treated as a liar.
Han Bin dialed the phone again.
Lin Jianrong's tone was a bit helpless, "Brother, let me tell you the truth first. I haven't worked for half a year, and now I'm so poor that I'm eating my belt. I don't have a single cent in my account. I advise you not to pay the phone bill."
Han Bin was afraid that he would hang up the phone, so he went straight to the point, "I'm really a police officer. Liu Ling is drunk to death!"
