The other end of the phone became quiet.
Han Bin said, "Hello, can you hear me?"
This phone call was really annoying.
Han Bin didn't blame the other party. It was the people who made the scam calls that scared the people.
The bank, the tax bureau, the criminal investigation team, the anti-drug team, the national security bureau, as long as they could think of it, there was no one that they didn't dare to impersonate.
Moreover, the suspects of the telecommunications fraud were very cunning. Some of them hid abroad, and if you caught the domestic ones, the foreign ones would escape.
If you didn't catch the domestic ones, it would be difficult to find out the specific location of the foreign ones. It would also involve the cooperation of the police of two countries, or even multiple countries. If one side leaked the news, they wouldn't be able to catch the person.
"Is what you said true? Liu Lingzui died! "Lin Jianrong's voice sounded again.
"Yes, she was killed."
A sigh came from the phone. "When did it happen?"
"The night of June 4th."
Lin Jianrong said, "It's been ten months since I left Qingdao. I really didn't expect to hear her name again in this form. "
"Where are you now?"
"In my hometown, a village in Shimen. I returned to Shimen last August and found a job there. I haven't been able to work because of the epidemic, so I'm still staying in my hometown," Lin Jianrong said.
"What were you doing on the night of June 4th?"
"Live broadcast."
"You're a streamer?"
"Sigh, not really. I didn't go out to work this year because of the epidemic. I had nothing to do in the village, so I would shoot some videos and upload them. I can make money with the clicks. Sometimes, I would do a live broadcast and sell some of the village's specialties to get closer to my fans. "
"I have an uncle who grows strawberries. He knew that I had a lot of fans, so he asked me to help him promote it. Those days were when the strawberries fell, so I was doing a live broadcast at night. If you don't believe me, you can go to the website and check. My fans know about it. "
Han Bin thought for a moment and said, "I called you today to ask you to come to the police station to make a statement. Since it's inconvenient for you to be out of town, I'd like to video call you to ask some questions about Liu Lingzui."
"No problem, I'm also willing to cooperate with the police. I've been studying at the university on the other side of the island for several years. I really like it, it's my second home. Sigh … If I hadn't broken up with her back then, I would've definitely stayed on the island. "
"But I've been away from Qin Island for a while, and I haven't contacted her. She also blocked me on WeChat, so I'm not sure if I can help."
"You just need to tell the police everything you know."
"Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with the police."
After that, Han Bin added the other party's WeChat, and the two of them began a video call.
Because he still needed to save files in the future, Han Bin asked a few more questions before getting to the main topic.
"Lin Jianrong, how long have you been dating Liu Lingzui?"
"About two years."
"When exactly did you break up?"
"July 2019. I don't remember the exact date."
"Why did you break up?"
"She might have someone outside."
"How did you know?"
"How did I know?" Lin Jianrong mumbled as he reminisced. "We dated for two years, and I always felt that our relationship was stable. I even met her mother once. He's handsome, and she's beautiful. I think we're a good match."
"When I met her mother, I thought she was okay. She's not a bad person. She asked me if I was a local, and I said no. She even asked me if I had a house in Qin Island, and I said no. "
"I was a little nervous at the time, afraid that her mother wouldn't agree because of the house."
"But her mother was a very reasonable person. She said that we were still young, and we could slowly work hard. She said that my parents could give us a down payment before we got married, and we could slowly pay it back after we got married. If my family didn't have enough money, she could help."
"When I heard that, I thought that our relationship was settled. I didn't find the wrong daughter-in-law, and my mother-in-law was perfect. I even have plans to marry her. "
"But less than half a year later, she cheated on me and slept with another man behind my back."
Han Bin asked, "Have you seen that man?"
"I've seen him once." Lin Jianrong showed a self-deprecating expression. "I have a small electric scooter, and it's quite fun to drive. It's not stuck in traffic, and it's fast too. I used to drive my electric scooter to and from work."
"Some time before we broke up, she wasn't willing to let me pick her up. She said that she would take a taxi home herself."
"I thought that taking a taxi is so expensive, so I brought you home on my electric scooter. It's not stuck in traffic, and we can cultivate our relationship."
"There was one time when I didn't contact her and went to her company to wait for her. I wanted to give her a surprise, but the surprise turned into a scare. That b * tch put a green hat on me. It was so f * cking disgusting."
Lin Jianrong stopped, as if he didn't want to talk about it.
This was a crucial moment. Even if he didn't say it, Han Bin had to ask.
"What does that man look like?"
"He's in his forties, wears glasses, has a beer belly, and looks a little bald. He's about the same height as me, and he looks quite ordinary. I can't really tell what he looks like."
"Do you know his name?"
Lin Jianrong was stunned for a while, and his face looked a little ugly. "I don't know."
Han Bin reminded him, "Do you remember some other things? For example, the scene when the two of them met."
Lin Jianrong slapped his forehead. "Mr. Policeman, what kind of question are you asking? Oh my, my heart …"
Han Bin wasn't interested in all this gossip. He just wanted to find out more about Liu Lingzui's boyfriend and find out his identity.
"Liu Lingzui is already dead. According to the police's investigation, his death could be related to his current boyfriend. So, I hope that you can provide as many clues as you can. If the police can find this person, they might be able to solve this case."
Lin Jianrong raised his head. "What? You're saying that Liu Lingzui was killed by an adulterer?"
Han Bin said perfunctorily, "We're still investigating and collecting evidence in this area."
"Alright, I'll tell you. I'll think about it carefully. I'll definitely help the police catch him!" Lin Jianrong seemed to have gained some motivation, and he fell into his memories again. "I remember that day, I rode my electric scooter to pick her up. I wanted to give her a surprise, and I was waiting at the side road beside the building."
"I waited for a few minutes, and I saw her walking out of the building. She seemed to be on the phone, but I wasn't in a hurry. It was after work, and there were many people taking taxis. I wanted to wait for her to take a taxi before going over. It would be a small surprise. "
"In the end, she hung up the phone and ran to the side of the road. She didn't take a taxi, as there was a Mercedes-Benz parked there."
"A man came down from the driver's seat and helped her open the passenger door. The two of them exchanged a few words, and the Mercedes-Benz left."
"I was stunned, completely stunned."
"Oh my god, I bought a helmet just to ride my electric scooter, and now I'm wearing a green hat. I really wanted to beat up the person driving the Mercedes-Benz. "
"I really wanted to. I'm not a coward. But the Mercedes-Benz left, and I didn't catch up … "
"I called her and asked her who the man was. She said he was a client. I didn't believe her, so we got into an argument. She was even angrier than me, saying that I didn't trust her. I was speechless. No wonder your sister is called Liu Ling Zui. She's so stubborn. "
"After that, we split up. About a month later, I resigned and went back to my hometown." Lin Jianrong patted his chest. "I was hurt. I was really f * cking hurt. Because of that, I didn't trust women anymore. It took me a long time to recover. "
"At that time, I remembered. I thought that I would never forget that license plate number." Lin Jianrong chuckled. "In the end, this spring, I suddenly remembered it. I realized that I wasn't angry anymore, and I can't remember the license plate number."
Han Bin frowned. "Try to recall it. Maybe you can remember it."
Lin Jianrong spread his hands. "Officer, I'm not lying to you. I really can't remember it."
"Do you have a girlfriend now?"
"Yes."
"When did you start dating?"
"At the end of last year, my girlfriend was working in Beijing, and she went home for the New Year. The elders in my family let us go on a blind date. She's not bad. Although she's not as pretty as Liu Ling Zui, she doesn't think I'm poor. She's doing a live broadcast with me. It's good. "
"I wish you happiness." Han Bin said.
"Thank you. If there's a banquet in Qingdao, I'll definitely treat you." Lin Jianrong smiled. "I don't know if what I said is helpful to you, but that's all I know."
"Also, I really hope that you can catch him as soon as possible. That way, you can avenge me."
Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, that's all for now. If you think of any new clues, you can contact me at any time."
"Okay." Lin Jianrong answered and hung up the call.
Bao Xing turned off the law enforcement recorder and said helplessly, "Another one who can't remember the license plate number."
Huang Qianqian also came over and said, "So you still can't find that Old Zhang?"
Han Bin stood up and stretched his legs. "That's not necessarily true. Lin Jianrong provided a very important clue. "
Huang Qianqian blinked her big eyes. "What clue?"
Han Bin recalled, "Didn't Liu Ling Zui say that this Old Zhang is her client? We happen to have her client list, so we can compare it to see if there's a man with the surname Zhang that fits the description. "
"Forty-something years old, wearing glasses, a beer belly, maybe a little bald, medium height, and has a Mercedes-Benz under his name."
Bao Xing immediately said, "I'll go check it out!"
Han Bin felt hungry. He looked at his watch. It was already eleven o 'clock.
He tidied up the table and rushed to the cafeteria to eat.
There were different dishes in the cafeteria every day. If he made this dish today, he might not make it the next day, lest everyone got tired of it.
Among them, the dish that was made the most often was the Big Pot Dish, which showed the police officers' love for this dish.
The main ingredients of the Big Pot Dish were cabbage, pork belly, vermicelli, tofu, meatballs, and kelp.
It was especially fragrant when cooked in the Big Pot Dish, which was also the origin of the dish's name.
Han Bin ordered a portion of the Big Pot Dish, a portion of braised ribbonfish, a portion of pilaf, and a freshly cooked chives box. He had to eat his fill at noon, or else he wouldn't be able to make it in the afternoon.
After lunch, Han Bin chatted with Wang Ting on WeChat for a while during his lunch break.
"Tingting, have you eaten?"
Wang Ting sent a photo. It was a photo of a pot of potato noodles. "I'm eating. What about you?"
"I've eaten. Why did you think of eating pot of potato noodles?"
Wang Ting sent a voice message. "Although the food at the Four Seasons Restaurant is delicious, you can't eat it every day. You have to change up the taste occasionally. This pot of potato noodles isn't far from here. I wanted to try it, so I came over to try it. It's not bad. I'll bring you over to try it some other day."
"Sure."
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll get the kitchen to prepare the dishes. Let's eat at home tonight, "Wang Ting asked.
"I want to eat cola pancakes. The rest is up to you."
"Okay, you sleep then."
"I'll pick you up after work." Han Bin sent a smiley emoji.
Wang Ting snorted. "Don't speak too early. Who knows, you might have to work overtime again."
Han Bin laughed. "Don't worry. Even if I have to work overtime, I'll send Huang Qianqian to accompany you. I won't let you be lonely."
After chatting with Wang Ting for a while, Han Bin felt much better. He was even more motivated to work.
However, his body's reaction was very honest. Han Bin yawned.
Alright, I'll take an afternoon break first. I'll think about it after I wake up.
After some time, Han Bin heard a shout in a daze.
"Oh my god, I've finally finished checking the client's information."
Bao Xing stood up, stretched, and cracked his neck. "I'm so tired."
Han Bin raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Did you find someone who fits the description of Liu Ling Zui's boyfriend?"
"I didn't find anyone who fits the description, but I found three people who fit the description." As Bao Xing spoke, he handed a document to Han Bin. "Team Leader, these are the three suspects that I've picked out. Please help me check them out."
Name: Zhang Hang. Age: 37. Owns a black Mercedes-Benz. Address: North City District, Scenic Garden District. Cell Number: 13758 XXXX
Name: Zhang Hongwei. Age: 45. Doesn't own a Mercedes-Benz. Address: Yuhua District, Changfeng Home. Cell Number: 13419 XXXXX.
Name: Zhang Jianlin. Age: 51. Owns a black Mercedes-Benz. Address: Changdao District, Qinyuan District. Cell Number: 15874 XXXXX.
Each person's information was accompanied by a photo.
Zhang Hang was the youngest. He looked gentle and medium. He wasn't fat or thin. He didn't have a beer belly, and he had decent hair.
Zhang Hongwei was in his forties. He was the same age as Lin Jianrong described. He wore glasses and had a beer belly. However, he didn't own a Mercedes-Benz.
Zhang Jianlin was the oldest, but he took good care of himself. He was just a little bald and chubby. He lived in Changdao District, which was the same as the place where the deceased had rented a house.
Bao Xing said, "Leader, all three of them have the surname Zhang. They all fit Lin Jianrong's description, but none of them fit completely. I can't be sure which one is Liu Lingzui's boyfriend."
Han Bin finished reading the information of the three people. He couldn't tell right away, so he asked, "You've studied the client list for the longest time, and you have the most say. Who do you think is the most likely?"
Bao Xing rubbed his chin and said, "I think Zhang Hang is the most suspicious. These days, the more gentle a person looks, the more likely he is to be a bad guy."
Huang Qianqian sneered. "Bao Xing, you've watched too many TV dramas. How can you tell a good person from a bad person just by looking? Besides, Zhang Hang is only in his thirties. He doesn't fit his age. He doesn't have a beer belly or glasses. He doesn't fit Lin Jianrong's description at all. "
Bao Xing wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Who do you think is the most suspicious?"
"Hmm." Huang Qianqian held her chin and looked up. She then looked at the information again. "I think Zhang Hongwei is the most suspicious. First of all, his age matches. He wears glasses and has a beer belly. It basically matches Lin Jianrong's description."
"As for the fact that he doesn't have a Mercedes-Benz under his name, I don't think it's a big problem. Maybe we were misled by that Mercedes-Benz before."
"Old Zhang drives a Mercedes-Benz, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the Mercedes-Benz is his. Even if it is his, it might not necessarily be under his name. So, I think Zhang Hongwei is the most suspicious."
"Clap clap!" Bao Xing clapped. "Qianqian, your analysis is really good."
Han Bin was speechless.
It was rare to see a bootlicker to this extent.
Huang Qianqian turned her head to the side. She had a proud look on her face, as if she had a card up her sleeve.
"Leader, who do you think is the most suspicious?"
Han Bin didn't rush to answer. He lit a cigarette and slowly took a puff. "Do our team have the surveillance video of the deceased's unit?"
"I have a backup," Huang Qianqian said.
"Then it's easy." Han Bin spat out a mouthful of smoke and ordered, "Both of you look at the photos of the three clients with the surname Zhang. Compare them with the surveillance video of the unit and see if these three people have entered or left the unit."
"Yes, whoever has entered or left the unit might be the murderer!" Bao Xing suddenly had a look of realization. He asked Huang Qianqian for a copy of the surveillance video, and the two of them began to look at the surveillance video separately.
Han Bin smiled and found Liu Lingzui's mobile phone contact list. He began to compare the mobile phone number on it. This method was the simplest and fastest.
Han Bin spent a minute to finish comparing the contact list, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
Han Bin wasn't in a hurry. He poured a cup of tea and drank it while waiting for Bao Xing and Huang Qianqian's news.
After about ten minutes, Huang Qianqian let out a soft cry. "Ah, it's actually him."
Huang Qianqian's voice attracted the attention of Han Bin and Bao Xing. The two of them walked over at the same time.
There was a video screenshot on the computer screen. It was one of the three clients with the surname Zhang.
Bao Xing pointed at the computer screen and shouted in an excited tone, "Zhang Hang, I guessed it right. This guy went to the victim's house during the time of the crime. He's probably the murderer!"
Although they found Zhang Hang's figure, the doubts in Han Bin's heart didn't lessen.
First, Zhang Hang didn't match the characteristics described by Lin Jianrong. His age didn't match, he didn't wear glasses, and his figure didn't match either.
Second, this screenshot was very clear. It was reasonable to say that Captain Chen Lin had checked the surveillance video and should have found Zhang Hang. Why wasn't Zhang Hang listed as a suspect?
