Three hours later, Han Bin walked out of the interrogation room.
The 626 Joint Case involved three victims, and there were many details that needed to be asked.
Han Bin glanced at his watch. It was already past five in the afternoon.
Han Bin opened the door and glanced at the observation room. There was no one inside. Ma Jingbo had left.
Han Bin stretched and moved his legs. "Sister Li, doesn't Fan Xianyi have something to tell Wang Siyu? I'll have to trouble you."
"No problem." Li Qin nodded. After the case was closed, she still wanted to see Wang Siyu. It was just a matter of saying a word.
"Oh right, what if Wang Siyu doesn't want to hear it?"
Han Bin said, "The prerequisite for us to help Fan Xianyi is that it doesn't affect the victim's will. If Wang Siyu doesn't want to hear it, we won't say it, lest she gets hurt again."
With this arrangement, Han Bin had fulfilled his promise to Fan Xianyi. As for whether the victim wanted to hear it or not, it was not up to him.
He was just a mouthpiece, nothing more.
When he returned to the office, Han Bin was a little surprised. Not only was Ma Jingbo here, but Ding Xifeng was also there.
Han Bin smiled. "Captain, you're a rare guest."
"I'm not welcome?"
"How could that be? I can't wait for you to come to our team every day."
"Fan Xianyi confessed?"
Han Bin handed over the interrogation record.
Ding Xifeng sat on the chair and looked through it seriously. "Not bad. He took the initiative to confess, which saved us a lot of trouble."
Most of the cases handled by the city's Criminal Investigation Unit were serious criminals. Many of their crimes were enough to be sentenced to death. It was also because of this that many suspects held the idea that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. No matter how much they asked, they would not speak. If they had the ability, they could just sentence them to death.
The 626 Joint Case had sufficient evidence to convict them without a confession, but it was not as good as the suspects' confession.
Bao Xing chuckled. "Captain, not only did we solve the case this time, we also successfully rescued the victim. Do we get a reward?"
"You're the smart one." Ding Xifeng scolded with a smile and handed the interrogation record to Ma Jingbo. "Bureau Chief Miao has been paying attention to this case. He is very satisfied with the process and results of this case. He will personally report to the higher-ups and ask for your credit. Don't worry, you will be rewarded."
Everyone's spirits were lifted when they heard this.
Director Miao was the head of the Municipal Bureau and the Deputy Mayor of Qingdao City. With his application, it was naturally a sure thing.
"Also, I have one more thing to announce. The position of deputy captain of our Second Platoon has been vacant for some time. After observing and considering during this time, Han Bin's criminal investigation skills are outstanding, his ideological awareness is relatively high, he has a certain level of leadership skills, and he gets along well with his colleagues."
"Captain Ma and I have unanimously recommended him to be the deputy squadron leader of Second Squadron. Chief Feng has also approved it. We can officially handle the procedures tomorrow." Ding Xifeng patted Han Bin's shoulder.
"I hope that Captain Han will continue to work hard and achieve even greater results in your new position."
Han Bin saluted and said seriously, "Yes, I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."
The others came back to their senses and began to congratulate him.
Huang Qianqian was pleasantly surprised. "Team Leader has been promoted!"
"Congratulations, Team Leader Han."
"We should be congratulating Team Leader Han!"
Han Bin becoming the deputy squadron leader was not only good for him, but it was also good for the team members.
Second Platoon's Team One and Team Two often worked together. It was fine when Ma Jingbo was there, but if Ma Jingbo was gone, one of the two team leaders would definitely be in charge. Now that Han Bin was the deputy squadron leader, he naturally had to suppress Zhu Jiaxu.
Bao Xing was particularly happy and clapped hard. His idea was relatively simple. He would have more face in front of Team Two in the future.
Face was something that couldn't be seen or touched, but sometimes it was very attractive, and everyone wanted to fight for it.
Especially for people in the system, it wasn't easy to get promoted, and their income was relatively stable. Most of the time, they were fighting for face.
Fighting for face was not a derogatory term. It was more like a neutral term. If it was used well, it was a good thing, but if it wasn't used well, it was just comparing.
Take the situation in the police force for example. Whoever solved a case would be promoted, and that person would have face. It could form a virtuous cycle.
To a certain extent, the leaders of the police force still hoped to see competition between the various platoons and teams.
Fan Xianyi had already confessed, and the case had entered the closing stage.
Ding Xifeng gathered all the members of the 626 Joint Task Force and held a case summary meeting.
During the meeting, Ding Xifeng showed Fan Xianyi's confession to everyone. At the same time, in order to close the case as soon as possible, he also distributed the closing procedures for the three cases.
Yuhua Branch had been working on Lu Jingfang's case, and the closing procedures for the case were handled by Platoon Three of Yuhua Branch's Criminal Investigation Unit.
The closing procedures for Zhou Jingjing's case were handled by Platoon Two of Platoon Two.
The closing procedures for Wang Siyu's case were handled by Platoon One of Platoon Two.
Finally, all the case procedures and files were put together by Platoon One of Platoon Two. Under Ma Jingbo's guidance, they went through a systematic review and report.
At the end of the meeting, Ding Xifeng publicly announced Han Bin's promotion to the deputy squadron leader of Platoon Two.
Naturally, some were happy, and some were sad. Han Bin's subordinates and the people from Yuhua Branch were naturally happy for him.
However, although Zhu Jiaxu's team congratulated him, they weren't in a good mood.
Zhu Jiaxu was also qualified to compete for the deputy squadron leader position. If his subordinates were excited because of Han Bin's promotion, then they would be heartless.
There had to be a process of acceptance, and that was human nature.
Ding Xifeng's announcement at the meeting was a show of support for Han Bin.
However, one couldn't have it all at the same time. Now that Han Bin had gained face, he would definitely be treated to a meal.
Han Bin then remembered what Ma Jingbo had said. It wasn't that Ma Jingbo lacked money, but that he was afraid that Han Bin lacked money.
Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It took too long.
…
Around seven at night.
Li Family's Pokeball.
Qin Island had a special delicacy called Pokeball. It had two features. The first was that the cooking utensils weren't ordinary round pots, but square metal boxes. The locals were used to calling them 'pokeballs'.
The other feature was that the customers would bring their own ingredients, and the boss would only take the processing fee.
Although this dining model was special, there was still a market for it. One of the main reasons was that the ingredients were cheap, fresh, and safe to eat.
Han Bin called in advance to make a reservation and drove a few cars to the Li Family's Pokeball.
More than ten people got out of the cars, and they were only a small portion of them. The rest had all gone to the market to buy groceries.
Today, all the people from the Second Squad of the Municipal Bureau and the Third Squad of the Yu Hua Branch had come.
Twenty minutes later, the people who went to buy groceries also came back. They moved bags of groceries into the restaurant, as if they were moving houses.
One leg of lamb, two catties of beef, two rabbits, two chickens, two catties of streaky pork, two ducks, four fish, oysters, prawns, green mouth, squid, mantis shrimp, some fresh vegetables, and three barrels of Qin Island fresh beer.
There were more than twenty people in total. Most of them were foodies, and the ingredients weren't enough.
Before they came, Han Bin also invited Ding Xifeng and Feng Baoguo, but the two leaders politely declined. They were afraid that if they came, they wouldn't be able to enjoy the meal.
Ding Xifeng even considerately waved his hand and made an exception to allow them to drink alcohol tonight.
This was a good opportunity. It was rare for everyone to get together, so Han Bin bought three barrels of fresh beer.
There was a small courtyard behind the Li Family's Pokeball, and it was filled with more than twenty people. Those who drank had a large glass of fresh beer in front of them, and those who didn't drink had cola and fruit juice.
Ma Jingbo held his glass and said, "Today is Captain Han's promotion day, and he's paying for us. I suggest everyone give him a toast."
Han Bin also held his glass and smiled. "I got to where I am today because of Captain Ma, Captain Zeng, and all the leaders' support. Secondly, because of everyone's help, I should be the one giving everyone a toast. "
"Cheers, everyone." As he spoke, Han Bin emptied his glass.
"Good."
"Captain Han has a good tolerance for alcohol."
"Give us another glass."
"Haha …" Many people around them cheered.
"Come, it's been a long time since we drank. Let's have a drink," Zeng Ping shouted and also drank half a glass of beer.
Seeing that the three captains took the lead, the others followed suit.
After a glass of beer, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
They were all colleagues, so naturally, there was no lack of topics to talk about, and they chatted about everything.
Something about the White House becoming a black palace.
Something about Hindustani dancing at the border again.
Which street was open for street stalls again.
Whether housing prices would rise, stabilize, or fall slightly in the future.
In short, after a few glasses of beer, there was nothing that could not be talked about, from the United States' Grand Commander to the stall fees.
As the protagonist of the night, Han Bin was forced to drink a lot.
However, he was happy to drink, not only because he solved the case and got promoted, but also because the people here were all colleagues who fought side by side with him. It felt good to get together, drink a glass of beer, and chat.
As for treating and spending money, it was just a small matter. In this day and age, if people were willing to come, it was giving you face.
