Han Bin asked, "What's the name of the restaurant?"
"Little Shepherd Boy Restaurant."
Han Bin asked, "What's the name of the person in charge?"
Cheng Jiwen said, "The owner's name is Guo Xiaoshan. He's in his forties, quite tall, and looks quite stout. He has a crew cut."
"Did he have a direct conflict with Lin Qiuyun?"
"Yes, this person came to us more than once, hoping that my wife could give up and stop organizing the customers to sue him. He even said that he was willing to give us more compensation in private, but we didn't agree."
"Why didn't you agree? What was your original purpose?"
"I don't know much about this, so I mainly listened to my wife. In my wife's words, Guo Xiaoshan wasn't afraid of his family, but a group of customers. Once we privately settled, it would hurt the interests of the other victims. "
"And private mediation is not formal. If the compensation is too much, it might be considered blackmail. This way, the initiative will fall into Guo Xiaoshan's hands, and he might threaten us instead. "
"My wife's purpose of suing the restaurant was not only for money, but also for justice."
"This incident caused quite a stir. It even made it to the local news media. Little Shepherd Boy's restaurant's reputation was ruined, and the stores were closed one by one. Later, Guo Xiaoshan closed all the restaurants."
Han Bin continued to ask, "Do you think it's possible that Guo Xiaoshan killed Lin Qiuyun?"
"Yes." Cheng Jiwen's tone was firm. "Because of this, Guo Xiaoshan even threatened us, telling us to be careful not to get hit by a car."
Han Bin noted down Guo Xiaoshan's name and continued, "Other than work and Little Shepherd Boy Restaurant, did Lin Qiuyun offend anyone else?"
Cheng Jiwen thought about it and shook his head. "I'm not sure about that."
Han Bin twirled his pen. "Guess, if someone wanted to hire someone to kill your wife, who would it be?"
Cheng Jiwen bit her lip. "I think Guo Xiaoshan is more suspicious. He threatened us more than once back then."
"Do you know Guo Xiaoshan's current address or contact information?"
Cheng Jiwen said, "I'm not sure."
"Have you seen Zhu Weichao before?" Han Bin asked.
"No."
"Did Lin Qiuyun and Zhu Weichao have any interactions?"
"As far as I know, there shouldn't be. There shouldn't be any in life, but I'm not sure if there's any at work."
Han Bin had been observing Cheng Jiwen and did not find any signs of lying.
Han Bin did not have any more questions for the time being, so he said, "That's all for today's statement. Thank you for your assistance."
"Phew …" Cheng Jiwen breathed a sigh of relief. "Can this case be solved? Can you find the mastermind? "
Han Bin said, "Don't worry, we will do our best to find the murderer who killed your wife."
Cheng Jiwen looked worried. "Will the murderer be a threat to me or my daughter?"
"I haven't found this possibility yet. Of course, just in case, you should pay more attention. If there's any situation, you can contact me at any time," Han Bin said.
"Alright, I understand." Cheng Jiwen stood up and said, "Officer Han, you must contact me when there's any progress in the case."
"I will." Han Bin responded and watched Cheng Jiwen leave the office.
Then, Han Bin called everyone for an impromptu meeting.
Han Bin first glanced at Li Qin and asked, "Have you contacted Lin Qiuyun's parents?"
Li Qin replied, "I've contacted them, but they're old and live in a slightly remote place. It will take some time for them to get to the city police station."
"Keep in touch."
"Yes."
Han Bin continued to make arrangements. "Jiang Yang, go check on Guo Xiaoshan's situation and summon him to the police station as soon as possible to make a statement."
"This person has enough motive to kill. Be careful."
"Got it."
"Bao Xing, come with me to Lin Qiuyun's company to understand the situation."
"Yes."
…
Forty minutes later.
Shian Food Company.
Although Guo Xiaoshan was more suspicious, Guo Xiaoshan was bankrupt and the police did not know his recent contact information.
Han Bin could only settle for second best and investigate Lin Qiuyun's company first.
The headquarters of Shian Food Company was located in Jingrong Building in Qingdao City.
The food company's factory was located between Laiping City and Yuhua District.
When Lin Qiuyun died, she was also in the company's management. It was unlikely that she was in the factory, so Han Bin went directly to the headquarters.
Previously, there was no mobile phone of the person in charge of the company in the file, only the company's landline. However, the landline had been shut down.
Han Bin took Bao Xing and Li Qin to the entrance of the company and explained the situation to the female employee at the front desk.
Not long after, a woman in her forties came over and took the initiative to ask, "Excuse me, are the three of you comrades from the city's criminal investigation unit?"
"Yes." Han Bin showed his police badge. "Are you the person in charge of the company? We want to ask you about some information."
"I'm the company's personnel manager. I'm familiar with the company's personnel situation. You can tell me if there's anything."
"How should I address you?"
"My surname is Cao. You can call me Manager Cao."
Han Bin nodded. "We want to know about one of your company's employees."
Seeing that they had attracted a lot of attention, Manager Cao made an inviting gesture. "Three comrades, it's not convenient to talk here. Please come with me."
Manager Cao brought the three of them to the conference room. A female employee poured tea and left.
Manager Cao looked at Han Bin and knew that he was in charge. "Comrade, how should I address you?"
"My surname is Han." Han Bin replied. Then he changed the topic and asked, "Manager Cao, do you know the staff of Shian Food Company?"
"I can't remember if you're talking about ordinary employees. But I know the people in management and I know their situation. After all, this is my job. "Manager Cao answered and asked.
"Police Officer Han, why did you come to our company?"
Han Bin asked, "As far as I know, one of your company's management was killed before. I don't know if Manager Cao has any impression of it?"
"What's the name of the person you mentioned?"
"Lin Qiuyun."
"Lin Qiuyun." Manager Cao muttered, thought for a while, and said, "Are you sure she's in our company's management?"
Han Bin frowned slightly. Is there a mistake? Is Lin Qiuyun not working in this company?
Manager Cao continued to ask, "When was she killed?"
Han Bin replied, "2017."
Manager Cao smiled awkwardly. "Oh, no wonder I don't remember. I came to the company in the spring of 2018. When she was killed, I hadn't come to Shian Food Company yet. "
Han Bin was speechless.
