"Why would I look for you if it's easy?" Ding Xifeng raised his voice.
"The other clues can be put aside for now. You're in charge of this. Is there a problem?"
"No problem." Han Bin replied and added, "Even if there is a problem, I will find a way to solve it."
"That's right." Ding Xifeng nodded and leaned on the sofa, "What do you plan to do?"
"I've already asked someone to check if Toutiao has a branch in Qingdao. If there is, we will pay them a visit and ask for their assistance in the investigation."
Ma Jingbo asked, "What about the name?"
"Lu Jingfang was a Toutiao anchor and had been posting videos on this website. Even if she's not an official employee, they still have an employer-employee relationship. Now that Lu Jingfang is dead, it's in line with the regulations to ask Toutiao for assistance in the investigation."
"Sure, let's continue with the investigation. Contact me if there's anything." Ding Xifeng was confident in Han Bin's work.
"Then I'll go out first and see how they're doing." Han Bin immediately said his goodbyes. The current situation was more urgent, and the more concerned he was, the more assured the leader would be.
Han Bin then left the office.
Ding Xifeng handed a cigarette to Ma Jingbo, "Han Bin, you'll be in charge of the video. Keep an eye on the other clues."
Ma Jingbo took the cigarette and lit it for Ding Xifeng, "Captain, the 626 Joint Task Force's investigation hasn't been made public, and the publicity department hasn't contacted the relevant media. There wasn't much news on the internet before, so how did so many new media release related videos overnight? "
Ding Xifeng frowned. Compared to the new media, he was more familiar with the traditional media, but with his experience, he could still analyze the situation. "Either it has something to do with the new media, or someone is behind it."
"I think so too." Ma Jingbo took a puff and guessed, "The person behind it is likely to be involved in the case, and he might even be related to the murderer."
Ding Xifeng revealed a thoughtful expression. He couldn't help but pat his cheeks. Recently, he had been suffering from excessive internal heat.
…
Wenhan Building, Toutiao Branch.
Toutiao was a large company, and its parent company was also one of the internet giants.
Toutiao's head office was in Beijing, and they also had many branches across the country, including the Qingdao branch.
The general manager of the branch was called Ni Yuanfeng. He was in his early thirties, had a medium build, and wore a pair of white-rimmed glasses.
This was a young company, and the senior executives were generally young. Although they were less mature and prudent, they were more energetic and more likely to break the rules.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened and a secretary in her twenties walked in. "Chairman Ni, there are a few police officers outside who want to see you."
"Police." Ni Yuanfeng looked away from the screen and asked, "Where did the police come from? Why are you looking for me?"
"They said they are from the city's Criminal Investigation Unit. They want to know something from you, but they refused to say the details. They want to talk to you face to face."
"Sigh … Really, anything can happen." Ni Yuanfeng pinched his forehead. He did not like to deal with people from the system, but sometimes he could not avoid it. "Bring them to the conference room. Tell them I will be there soon."
"Alright." The female secretary closed the door and left.
A few minutes later.
Ni Yuanfeng entered the conference room and saw Han Bin and the others.
After they introduced each other, Ni Yuanfeng asked, "Officer Han, I heard from the secretary that you want to see me to understand something. May I know what it is about?"
Han Bin did not answer directly. He took out his phone and opened the company's software. He found Lu Jingfang's video. "Take a look."
Ni Yuanfeng took the phone and looked at the video carefully. "This is our company's website. This streamer is just showing her legs. Many people on the street are dressed like this, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"I'm not sure if there's a problem with her clothes, and it's not what I'm concerned about."
"Then why do you want me to watch the video?"
"This lady is called Lu Jingfang. She has been uploading videos on your website. A few days ago, she was brutally murdered at the construction site. I'm here today to investigate if your company knows anything about her. "
Ni Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment before he quickly denied, "I don't know anything about her. Our company is only providing a platform. She's not an official employee of our company. I've never seen her before, so I don't know anything about her situation."
Bao Xing said, "Mr. Ni, isn't that a little too much? Even if she's not an official employee, she has also brought benefits to your company. Your company also pays her a salary. To a certain extent, you guys have an employer-employee relationship."
Ni Yuanfeng thought about it and said, "We have to look into this. Most of the time, we don't sign an individual, but a studio. The studio provides us with video resources, and we reward the studio according to the number of clicks.
"As for how the benefits will be distributed between the streamer and the studio, and how the contract will be signed, we're not sure.
"In other words, we don't have a direct employer-employee relationship with most streamers."
Han Bin smiled. "Mr. Ni, we're just trying to understand the situation. We're not here to ask for compensation. You can tell us as much as you know."
"Taking a step back, even if you guys don't have a direct employer-employee relationship, her video was still broadcasted on your website. Furthermore, according to our understanding, the reason why she was near the scene of her death must be related to the filming."
"Lu Jingfang died at the construction site, and her purpose was to film the video. She has a beneficial relationship with your company, and according to the regulations, the police have the right to investigate."
Ni Yuanfeng took off his glasses and wiped them. "Alright, then how do you want to investigate? Our company is willing to cooperate. But I still have to say that our company doesn't know anything about her situation. "
Han Bin said, "We would like to check the background data of Lu Jingfang's account."
Ni Yuanfeng was put in a difficult position. "That's not convenient. After all, it involves the privacy of the customer. Do you have the relevant procedures?"
Han Bin explained, "We came in a hurry, so we didn't bring the procedures. If you need the procedures, I can apply for it now. But if the procedures are approved, we will have to follow the relevant procedures. Not only will we have to make a statement for you, but we will also have to make a statement for the relevant staff of your company who are assisting in the investigation. "
Ni Yuanfeng sighed. He didn't want to involve more employees. "Alright, I'll get someone to check the account."
Ni Yuanfeng called his secretary and gave a few instructions.
"Officer Han, do you have any other requests?"
"There are a few more questions that I need to ask."
Ni Yuanfeng said straightforwardly, "Sure, go ahead."
"Have you seen Lu Jingfang?"
"No, I don't know her at all."
"Have you seen a pair of shoes with dog paw prints?"
"No."
"What car do you drive?"
"BMW."
"Do you know a girl named Zhou Jingjing?"
"No."
"Have you heard of the show 'Let's Generate Electricity Together'?"
"Aiya … I don't have any impression of it."
Han Bin closed his notebook. "Thank you for your cooperation."
Ni Yuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you done?"
"Yes." Han Bin inserted the carbon pen into the notebook and continued, "By the way, Mr. Ni, there's one more thing to remind you. The case is still under investigation. Don't disclose it to the public for now. Otherwise, if the relevant information of the case is leaked, it may affect the investigation."
Han Bin's tone was solemn. "When the time comes, you'll have to bear legal responsibility."
"Don't worry, I know the law. I'll keep what you said to me today in my heart. I won't say a word to anyone."
Han Bin smiled. "That's good. After all, your company is in the media business. If the news is leaked, it will have a big impact on society."
Ni Yuanfeng said perfunctorily, "I understand."
"Knock knock …" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Ni Yuanfeng's secretary walked in. Behind him was a man wearing a checkered shirt and black-rimmed glasses.
"Mr. Ni."
Ni Yuanfeng stood up and introduced, "This is our company's technician, Xiao Ma. Let him help."
Ni Yuanfeng whispered a few words to Xiao Ma.
Xiao Ma didn't say anything. He sat at the conference table and opened his laptop.
"Clap clap clap …" His hands quickly typed on the keyboard.
In less than a minute, Xiao Ma pushed his glasses up. "Mr. Ni, the account information is out."
"Okay." Ni Yuanfeng patted his shoulder. "Leave the laptop here. You can go out first. I'll get someone to send it to you later."
Xiao Ma lowered his head and looked at the laptop reluctantly. He hesitated for a moment. "Okay, I'll go out first."
Xiao Ma stood up and left reluctantly.
Ni Yuanfeng made an inviting gesture. "Officer Han, the background information of the construction site girl, Xiao Fang, is out. You can take a look."
Han Bin walked in front of the laptop. "Oh, the background information is still clearer."
Ni Yuanfeng smiled awkwardly. "We never look at the background information of our clients under special circumstances."
"Mhmm." Han Bin nodded with a look of trust.
In fact, during the initial investigation, Han Bin went to Beauty Media. They could also log into Xiao Fang's account. At that time, Han Bin checked it once, but it was through the normal login interface. It was far from being as clear as it was now.
Moreover, Han Bin found that there was more information in the data from the background compared to the normal login interface.
"What does the data on the rightmost row mean? Why is there a cross drawn on it? "
Ni Yuanfeng glanced at it. "Oh, this is the content deleted by the client. There are records in the background database."
Han Bin's interest was piqued. Since it was deleted data, it meant that Han Bin couldn't see this content when he logged in normally.
In other words, this content was what Lu Jingfang or Beauty Media didn't want others to see.
