"What's wrong, host Zhang doesn't welcome us?" Han Bin walked in with a smile, followed by Jiang Yang and Bao Xing.
"Why are you …" Zhang Yibin was a bit embarrassed, "It's not that I don't welcome you, but you came at the wrong time. I'm about to record the show."
"Host Zhang, I'm afraid you won't be able to record the show today."
"What do you mean by that?"
Han Bin said seriously, "Someone has evidence that you're obstructing the execution of official duties. Please come back with us to the police station to assist in the investigation."
"You can't just say that. Do you have evidence? How can you say I'm obstructing the execution of official duties? "
"We wouldn't have come if we didn't have evidence. Considering that you're a public figure, I suggest you leave with us. We don't care if you want to argue here, but we're afraid it will affect you. "
Zhang Yibin complained in a low voice, "If you knew it would affect me, why didn't you call me? Why are you still talking about this when we're already here? "
"Zhang Yibin, watch your attitude. We're here to enforce the law, not to watch a show. We don't need to make an appointment with you." Bao Xing glared at him and showed him the warrant, "This is the ID. Look carefully and come with us."
This rebuke stunned Zhang Yibin. After a while, he said, "I'm the host of the Qin Island TV Station. I represent the image of Qin Island. You can't target me."
Bao Xing sneered, "Wow, you're so shameless."
Han Bin was a bit impatient and waved his hand, "Take him away."
Jiang Yang had a faint smile on his face as he took out a pair of handcuffs, "Host Zhang, come with us."
At this moment, a lot of people had gathered at the door of the dressing room. Some were surprised, some were curious, and some were gloating.
Zhang Yibin took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, "Don't mess around. I'm looking for the director. Our director might know your director. I'm a host of the TV station. I'm a public figure. I know how big the impact will be if you arrest me."
Bao Xing chuckled and said indifferently, "I don't know. I just want to see it."
As they spoke, Jiang Yang and Bao Xing stepped forward and held Zhang Yibin down. With his small body, he had no chance to resist.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't just stand there." A woman's voice came from outside.
The producer of the show, Liu Xiurong, rushed into the room. "Officer Han, what's going on? Is there a misunderstanding? "
Han Bin said, "There is no misunderstanding. This is a warrant. We want to take Zhang Yibin to the police station for questioning."
Liu Xiurong squeezed out a smile. "Let's talk nicely. If you want to ask questions, we can do it at the TV station. I'll help you clear out an office. You can ask anything you want."
Han Bin said, "Producer Liu, I gave Zhang Yibin a chance last time for your sake. Unfortunately, he did not appreciate it and even colluded with others to obstruct the execution of official duties and disrupt the normal social order, violating the Public Security Administration Punishment Law. "
Seeing that Liu Xiurong had arrived, Zhang Yibin became more confident. "You're framing me. How did I obstruct you from carrying out your duties? What right do you have to accuse me?"
Han Bin ignored him and said to Liu Xiurong, "Although obstructing the execution of official duties and obstructing the execution of official duties are only one word apart, you should know the difference. Don't make it difficult for me."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiurong's expression immediately changed and she did not dare to persuade him anymore. "Hey, Zhang Yibin, stop fooling around. Just go with Officer Han and put on your hat and mask."
Zhang Yibin cried out, "Producer Liu, you can't leave me alone. Deputy Director Wang and I …"
"Enough." Liu Xiurong scolded him and interrupted Zhang Yibin. "Zhang Yibin, it's useless to beg anyone now. If you're a man, just go. If the whole TV station finds out, you'll be the one who'll be embarrassed."
Zhang Yibin's eyes were red and his voice was trembling. "Then can I still host the show when I come back?"
Liu Xiurong said perfunctorily, "You should solve your own problems first. Don't worry about your work. I believe the station leader will make appropriate arrangements."
Zhang Yibin looked at Han Bin as if he wanted to beg him, but after hesitating for a while, he did not speak in the end.
Zhang Yibin put on his hat, mask, and sunglasses. He covered his handcuffs with his clothes and walked to the door. In the end, he felt that it was inappropriate. He lowered his head and whispered, "Can you take off my handcuffs? I won't run away. I won't."
Han Bin nodded.
Zhang Yibin's handcuffs were taken off, but Jiang Yang and Bao Xing did not relax. They still sandwiched him on his left and right and escorted him to the car.
Along the way, Zhang Yibin's face was sullen and he did not say a word.
After returning to the Municipal Bureau, Han Bin, Jiang Yang, and Bao Xing interrogated Zhang Yibin.
Zhang Yibin sat in the interrogation chair, still wearing his mask. His head was lowered and his expression could not be seen.
"Bang, bang." Han Bin knocked on the table. "Zhang Yibin, take off your mask."
Zhang Yibin glared and questioned, "What right do you have to arrest me?"
At this point, he was no longer afraid.
"You're already here. Why are you still pretending? Don't you know what you've done?"
Zhang Yibin straightened his neck and said, "I haven't done anything."
He was a host and could not be detained. Only by walking out of here with a clean record could he keep his position in the station and the show in his hands.
Han Bin flipped open his notebook. "Do you know Lin Gang?"
"That's such a lame name and so many people call him that. How would I know who you're talking about?"
"The headline anchor, Brother Gang of Qindao."
Zhang Yibin thought for a moment. "Yes."
"Did you tell him that Zhou Jingjing and Lu Jingfang were killed?"
"I don't remember."
"Then think about it. You can go out when you remember."
Zhang Yibin said, "He's just a small-time anchor without any qualifications. You'd rather believe his words than mine?"
"I only believe in evidence." Han Bin changed the question. "Did you contact Lin Gang yesterday?"
Zhang Yibin lowered his head and said, "I can't remember."
Han Bin retorted, "Fine, you can't even remember what happened yesterday. You want to say you don't know everything. Even if I believe you, do you think the judge will believe you?"
Zhang Yibin hesitated. "Yes."
"Who contacted him?"
"Me."
"Why did you contact him?"
Zhang Yibin wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I … it's a private matter."
Han Bin said, "Lin Gang has already confessed. You can't explain yourself clearly. Whose testimony do you think is more effective? Who do you think we should believe?"
"Isn't it all about presumption of innocence? You can't produce any evidence, so what right do you have to say that I'm guilty?" Zhang Yibin said.
Han Bin laughed. "Don't be hostile to the police. Your situation can be big or small. If you cooperate with the investigation, you may be given a warning or a fine. But with your current attitude, you'll definitely be detained. "
Zhang Yibin's expression was a little ugly. "Do you have any evidence?"
Han Bin flipped through the notebook. "Jiaozhou Little Pea, do you know her?"
Zhang Yibin's face turned white in an instant. He stammered, "Yes."
"Did you contact her yesterday?"
"Yes."
"Why did you contact her?"
"It's a private matter."
"What private matter? What did they say? "
"I can't remember."
Han Bin raised his eyebrows and snorted. "You can't remember again. Do you want me to help you recall?"
Han Bin stood up and walked to the interrogation chair. "Both of them are anchors from Toutiao. Both of them are willing to testify that you are suspected of obstructing the execution of official duties. And you happened to meet them yesterday. How do you explain that?"
Zhang Yibin opened his mouth. "They are both anchors. They should know each other. Maybe they are colluding to frame me."
"As expected of a host. You can even lie so smoothly." Han Bin smiled and continued. "Anchors like them usually like to shoot videos. Videos of eating, going out to play, and even more so when they meet some celebrities."
"And you, Host Zhang of Qindao TV Station, can be considered a local celebrity. Do you think that when they met with you, they also secretly filmed it? "
Zhang Yibin's eyes widened. His right hand slightly trembled.
Seeing him like this, Han Bin reminded him, "Think about it carefully. Depending on the seriousness of the case and the attitude of the person who pleads guilty, there will be different punishment standards."
"Warning, fine, detention for five days, or detention for ten days, it's all up to you."
Zhang Yibin showed a wronged look. "I'm really wronged. I admit that I told them about Zhou Jingjing and Lu Jingfang's death, but how is it considered obstructing the execution of official duties? I don't understand."
Han Bin sternly said, "Not only did you tell them, but you also made them join forces with other anchors to spread the case. This seriously affected the police investigation, hindered the normal handling of the case, and disrupted the normal social order."
"This case is more complicated than you think. Your behavior is likely to cause serious consequences and disturb the stability of society. I'm not wronged at all for arresting you."
Zhang Yibin thought about it and said, "Then if I admit it, can you only fine and warn me? Don't detain me. No matter how much the fine is, I'll accept it. "
"Do you think this is a market and you're here to bargain with me? Whether you admit it or not depends on your attitude. As for the punishment, it depends on your overall situation. There's no room for negotiation. "
Zhang Yibin hesitated for a while and gritted his teeth. "Yes, I admit it. The news of Zhou Jingjing and Lu Jingfang's death was indeed released by Lin Gang and Zhao Wan."
"Why did you do that?"
Zhang Yibin looked down at his hands. "I wanted to increase the exposure and topicality of the show."
"Using their deaths to advertise your show and attract attention?"
Zhang Yibin said, "The show's ratings have been bad. The station leader talked to me and said that 'Let's Generate Electricity Together' might not be able to continue for long." Zhang Yibin's eyes were red as he choked, "I only have this one show in my hands. This is the only one, and they still want to kill it."
"The competition in the TV station is so fierce. There are only 24 hours a day, and there are only so many time slots. Every year, there are so many graduates trying to get in. I'm under a lot of pressure. If I don't even have the last show in my hands, I'll have to sit on the bench in the future. "
"I don't want to."
"What kind of host are you if you don't have a show?"
"I'm under a lot of pressure. I have to ensure the show's ratings, increase the attention of the show, and live up to the sponsors. Only then can I keep this show."
Zhang Yibin lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.
Of course, it could also be to hide his emotions.
"Raise your head." Han Bin did not completely believe him.
When a person was killed, the person who was most likely to kill him was the one who could benefit from his death.
Among all the people involved, Zhang Yibin was undoubtedly the one who fit this description the most.
Since he was here, he naturally had to get to the bottom of it.
Han Bin's tone was solemn. "Just to increase the exposure of the show, you colluded with others to kill a female guest who had been on the show before. You're really ruthless!"
Zhang Yibin raised his head suddenly, his voice trembling. "I didn't. How could I kill anyone? I have an alibi."
"That's why I said that you have an accomplice. You're in charge of planning and providing information, and he's in charge of killing."
