Bao Xing rubbed his nose. He had guessed wrong. Luckily, he did not say it out loud.
"Then what was the reason?"
Yan Jiachao slapped his forehead. "This … this is a long story."
"There's an air conditioner here. The cool air is quite comfortable. Tell me slowly."
"Look at the beautiful decorations of my shop." Yan Jiachao looked at the milk tea shop with a complicated expression on his face. He answered his own question, "I'm personally responsible for the design, renovation, tables and chairs of this shop. I've spent a lot of effort and money on it. I've invested hundreds of thousands in total."
"The shop was open for less than half a year when the epidemic started. It was closed for a few months. When it finally opened, business was affected. I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but I couldn't even earn my rent every month. My employees' wages were in arrears for more than a month.
"During this period, I thought of all kinds of ways to advertise and promote it. I wanted more people to drink our milk tea and enjoy our service. Our milk tea is really good.
"Later, a friend called Lei Zi suggested that I go on TV to advertise it. I remember it clearly. I laughed at him for being stupid. Advertising on TV would cost a lot of money. If I had the money, I wouldn't be in such a hurry.
"Lei Zi laughed at me for being stupid. He said that I didn't have to spend money to be on a show. Maybe I could find a wife for free. Then, he suggested that I join the matchmaking show 'Let's Generate Electricity Together'.
"I thought about it. He had a point, so I signed up. I didn't expect the show to really choose me.
"You all know what happened next. I joined the show and took Zhou Jingjing away. When my friend called Lei Zi found out, he asked me to treat him to a meal.
"That guy was drunk and didn't watch his mouth. He told Zhou Jingjing about it. She fell out on the spot, saying that I had ulterior motives and was lying to her. She wanted to break up with me.
"At that time, I felt a little guilty, so I started to coax her. But the more I coaxed, the angrier she became. You made a scene in front of a few of my friends. You didn't even give me any face. "
"I was anxious too. We were drunk, so we had a big fight … and broke up."
Han Bin asked. "So you joined the matchmaking show 'Let's Generate Electricity Together' to promote this milk tea shop?"
"Yes."
"I've seen the episode where you took Zhou Jingjing away, but I didn't see you promote this milk tea shop."
"I did the publicity and even brought a cup of milk tea for every female guest and host. I even mentioned the name of Pretty Man's Milk Tea Shop in front of everyone, but those bastards at the TV station played a trick on me … It was all edited out. I was depressed for a long time after the broadcast."
Hearing this, Han Bin suddenly came to a realization. The program videos they saw were all edited. It was what the TV station wanted them to see, not the original. At the very least, the scenes that were unfavorable to the production team and the television station had been edited out.
He might have missed some clues.
Han Bin continued to ask, "Have you ever seen a pair of shoes with dog paw prints?"
"No, but Zhou Jingjing said she would give me a pair of shoes, but we broke up before she gave it to me. I don't know what shoes look like."
"What about the shoes?"
"I don't know."
"Where were you between 9: 30 p.m. on June 25th and 1: 30 a.m. on the 26th?"
Yan Jiachao swallowed and said nervously, "You're not suspecting me of being the murderer, are you? I didn't kill her. We've already broken up, so I don't have to do that. "
"Don't be nervous, it's just routine questioning."
Yan Jiachao thought for a moment. "I should be at home. After breaking up with Zhou Jingjing, I've basically been going between work and work."
"Who can prove it?"
Yan Jiachao hesitated for a moment and pointed to the corner. "Our milk tea shop provides food and accommodation. The two of them lived with me, so they can prove it."
"Where's your home?"
"It's just behind here, Rongbin District, Building 3, Unit 2, Room 201."
Han Bin recorded it down and continued to ask, "Have you been to Tian Nan Yuan District?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I've never heard of this district."
"According to the rules, we need to collect your DNA. Please cooperate," Han Bin said.
Yan Jiachao hesitated. "Can I refuse?"
Han Bin glanced at him and said nothing.
Bao Xing chuckled. "It's just taking some oral epithelial cells. What's there to be afraid of as a man? Don't tell me you're afraid of pain."
"I'm not afraid of pain."
"Then why did you refuse? Do you have a guilty conscience?"
Yan Jiachao sighed. He only knew that he could not avoid it and could only cooperate with Bao Xing.
After collecting DNA, Han Bin called the man who distributed the flyers to the car for questioning.
"What's your name?"
"Ma Tao." The man responded and asked, "Police comrade, why did you call me here? I don't know anything."
"It's okay if you don't know. Tell me what you know." Han Bin paused and went straight to the point. "Where were you between 9: 30 pm on June 25th and 1: 30 am on the 26th?"
"It's been a few days. I don't remember."
"It's okay if you don't remember. We can give you time to think about it. But if you remember clearly and don't want to say it, then we can only take you to another place to think about it. "
"No, no, I'll just think about it." Ma Tao thought for a moment and replied, "I should have been in the rental house that night."
"Who can prove it?"
"It was equivalent to the staff dormitory. Yan Jiawei and another colleague were there."
"Did he go out during this period?"
"I don't think so. After he broke up with his girlfriend, he spent most of his time with us."
After questioning Ma Tao, Han Bin called the male waiter over. The three men's statements were basically the same.
Then, Han Bin and the other two left the milk tea shop.
After getting in the car, Bao Xing turned his head from the driver's seat and asked, "Leader, where are we going now?"
Han Bin thought for a moment and said, "To the TV station."
Bao Xing was puzzled. "Why do you want to go back to the TV station? Did you find any new clues?"
Han Bin said, "It's because we didn't find any new clues that we have to go back to the TV station."
"Remember that Yan Jiachao said that he gave milk tea to the female guests present and specially promoted this shop? But the video content we found was not in the content. If we go back to the TV station and ask for the unedited master tape, maybe we can find new clues."
Bao Xing suddenly understood. "That's true. No wonder I felt a little awkward."
"And that Yan Jiachao is really a piece of sh * t. In order to promote his milk tea shop, he really did everything he could. Isn't this f * cking cheating a girl's feelings? No wonder Zhou Jingjing broke up with him."
"If you look at it this way, he let Zhou Jingjing down. He had no motive to kill her."
