At seven o 'clock in the evening, at the Four Seasons Restaurant.
It was summer, and the days were long and the nights were short. The sky was not dark yet, and there were many pedestrians on the road.
Compared to the bustling days of the past, the Four Seasons Restaurant could be described as deserted.
Other than the door that was still open, there was basically no one going in or out.
Han Bin parked the car at the entrance and walked into the restaurant. He saw Wang Ting sitting at the counter, her right hand resting on her cheek as if she was in a daze.
The hall was empty, and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged. Two waitresses were cleaning.
There was a glass window next to the counter that allowed one to see the situation in the kitchen. This was usually the busiest time in the kitchen, but there was no one there.
"Tingting."
"Uh." Wang Ting looked up and came back to her senses. "You're off work?"
Han Bin stood by the counter. "Let's go home."
Wang Ting nodded and said to the two waitresses, "We're almost done cleaning. You guys should go home early."
The two waitresses were not old, and they were not in the mood to work. They went to the back to change their clothes, said goodbye to Wang Ting, and left.
"Tingting, are you planning to take a break for a while?"
"Yes." Wang Ting looked around the restaurant, her eyes filled with nostalgia.
She had poured a lot of effort into this place.
Han Bin patted her shoulder. "Let's go. This is only temporary."
Wang Ting nodded, still feeling a little down. Without saying a word, she followed Han Bin into the car.
Han Bin helped her fasten her seatbelt. "What do you want to eat? It's my treat."
Wang Ting sighed. "My restaurant is closed. I'm not in the mood to eat at someone else's restaurant."
Han Bin said, "Let's go home then. I'll cook for you."
"You must be tired after working the case all day. How can I let you cook? Let me do it. "
Han Bin started the car and said with a smile, "I enjoy cooking for you. I'm not tired at all."
Wang Ting felt a sweetness in her heart, and the depression in her heart lessened.
"After a few days of work and the case is solved, I'll take you out to play and relax."
Wang Ting blinked her big eyes and looked at Han Bin. "Where do you want to take me?"
"It's a secret."
Wang Ting giggled. "I think you haven't thought it through yet."
Han Bin rubbed his chin and laughed awkwardly. He really hadn't thought it through yet.
When they got home, the two of them worked together, chatting while cooking.
Wang Ting made mushroom vegetables and winter melon meatball soup.
Han Bin made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and sautéed vermicelli with spicy vermicelli.
They were all relatively simple home-cooked dishes that were easy to make and went well with rice.
While eating, Wang Ting couldn't help but ask, "If the restaurant wants to change its cuisine, which cuisine do you think I should make?"
Han Bin put down his chopsticks, thought about it and said, "The food and beverage industry is not very good recently. You might as well take a break for a while and decide when the market is better."
"Why don't I quit the restaurant business and do something else?"
Han Bin gave Wang Ting a piece of shiitake mushroom. "Even if you want to change careers, you can't be in a hurry."
"That's true. Then I'll take a break for a while and recharge my batteries. We'll talk about it when the market is better." Wang Ting made up her mind and felt a lot more relaxed. Even her appetite was better.
The two of them finished the three dishes and the soup.
It was getting late by the time they finished eating. Wang Ting went to the bathroom to take a shower while Han Bin sat on the sofa and looked at his phone. He couldn't help but yawn.
"Congratulations, Officer 577533, for successfully solving the jailbreak case." Han Bin heard the long-lost voice in his head.
Micro-expression analysis: Proficiency: + 7
Observation skill: Proficiency + 7
Footprints identification: Proficiency + 3
Merit reward: 37 points.
Hearing this voice, Han Bin smiled. Not only because the reward this time was generous, but it also meant that the jailbreak case was officially closed and Shi Da would receive the punishment he deserved.
As for the 626 joint case, Han Bin also had some clues. He believed he could solve the case and catch the murderer.
…
The next morning, City Public Security Bureau.
Han Bin entered the Criminal Investigation Building and met Ma Jingbo in the corridor with two dark circles under his eyes.
Because the victim's body hadn't been found, she was likely still alive. In order to improve the efficiency of the case, Ding Xifeng decided to investigate in shifts 24 hours a day.
Last night, Ma Jingbo led the second team to investigate the case.
"Captain Ma, your dark circles are amazing. Have you had breakfast? Do you want me to buy one for you?"
Ma Jingbo yawned. "No need. I'll go back to the dormitory to sleep after handing over to Captain Zeng. I'll buy some food for myself."
Ma Jingbo and Zeng Ping were investigating the same clue. They were both tracking the Mercedes-Benz, while Han Bin was investigating the identity of the murderer.
Therefore, Ma Jingbo handed over to Zeng Ping instead of Han Bin.
"Captain Ma, is there any progress on the Mercedes-Benz?"
"Yes, we've locked on to the general area. If everything goes well, we might be able to find the Mercedes-Benz today." Then, Ma Jingbo said in a teasing tone, "Young man, you have to work harder. Once we find the Mercedes-Benz, the murderer's identity will be revealed. Don't waste your efforts. "
Han Bin smiled. "Alright, I'll try my best to find the murderer's identity first."
Ma Jingbo suddenly changed the topic. "Oh yeah, there's something I want to ask you. I heard that the young people nowadays are all from the Moonlight Clan. At the end of the month, their pockets are even cleaner than their faces."
Han Bin was a little puzzled. He didn't know why Ma Jingbo asked that, but he still said, "It depends on the person. There are those who don't spend money and like to save it."
"What about you? Which type are you?"
"I … should be in the middle. I don't spend much. If I like something, I buy it. If I don't, I save it. Although it's not a lot, I have some savings. "
Ma Jingbo smiled and patted Han Bin's shoulder. "Not bad. That's a good habit."
Han Bin was even more puzzled. Ma Jingbo rarely asked about his personal affairs.
Unless … Captain Ma was short on money but was too embarrassed to ask directly.
Just as Han Bin's thoughts were running wild, Ma Jingbo waved his hand. "I'm going back to rest. Call me if you need anything."
Han Bin watched him leave. He still couldn't figure out the meaning behind his words. He didn't want to think too much about it and went straight to Team One's office.
Han Bin first made a cup of coffee. When most of the team members arrived, he called everyone for a morning meeting.
"Jiang Yang, did Zhang Yibin say anything new after I went to the interrogation room yesterday?"
Jiang Yang answered, "He didn't say anything new. However, he kept saying that he was innocent and begged us to let him go. He's like a different person from when he was at the TV station."
Bao Xing snorted. "I knew it long ago. This kid is a coward. Not only did he plagiarize someone else's show, but he also plagiarized a dating show. That's enough."
Since there was no progress on Zhang Yibin's side, Han Bin decided to put it aside for now. He said, "Wang Xiao, Jiang Yang, the two of you go to the bank and check the source of the money from Summer Hail's account."
"Sister Li, Bao Xing, the two of you come with me to Toutiao Company. Whoever started the trouble should end it. Maybe we can find the murderer's identity from this company."
