Liu Jingxiang was brought back to the police station.
Interrogation room.
Liu Jingxiang sat on the interrogation chair. Zeng Ping and Han Bin were in charge of the interrogation.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"My name is Liu Jingxiang, 45 years old, male …"
"Do you know why we arrested you?" Zeng Ping questioned.
"I, I …" Liu Jingxiang clasped his hands together. He looked nervous.
"Stop hesitating. Hurry up and say it. We'll give you a lighter sentence."
"I really don't know what to say."
"Then why are you nervous?"
"I'm a coward."
"Stop talking nonsense with me. Do you want to reduce your sentence? Do you want us to present evidence and spend the rest of your life in jail?" Zeng Ping slammed the table.
"Officer, don't scare me. I didn't do anything serious. How can I go to jail?" Liu Jingxiang argued.
"Why are you avoiding the important things?" Zeng Ping stood up and walked to Liu Jingxiang. "Do you know how long you will be sentenced for kidnapping? Do you want me to tell you? "
"Kidnapping? What kidnapping? Don't scare me. "Liu Jingxiang was surprised.
"Stop acting dumb. If you don't want to reduce your sentence, I'll grant you your wish." Zeng Ping took out a document and slammed it on the interrogation chair. "Is this your bank account number?"
Liu Jingxiang took a look and nodded. "Yes."
"We suspect that you are involved in a kidnapping case. This bank account is the account that the kidnappers used to receive payments."
"No, I really didn't do anything. You can't accuse me wrongly." Liu Jingxiang shouted.
"Accuse you wrongly?" Zeng Ping sneered. "If you didn't do anything, why are you so nervous? I could tell at a glance that you were hiding something. "
"Officer, I did commit a crime, but it's not a kidnapping case. I don't dare to do such a thing."
"Tell me yourself. What did you do?"
"I hid my number two days ago. I admit that I did something wrong. If you want to fine me and deduct points, I will accept it. But you insist that I am involved in a kidnapping case. I'm wrongly accused."
Zeng Ping frowned. "What? You hid your number? "
"I'm a big truck driver. I'm in the transportation business."
Zeng Ping pinched his forehead, feeling as though he had punched cotton. He gave Han Bin a look. "Brother Bin."
Han Bin nodded and asked, "Where were you between the morning of August 18th and noon of August 19th?"
"I'm out of town."
"What for?"
"Sports car."
"Who can prove it?"
"My colleague, the two of us were in a sports car together. The car recorder and the places I ate along the way can all prove it."
"Don't lie, we will investigate."
"I don't dare to lie. What I said is true. I only returned to Qingdao City at two o 'clock this afternoon. It was almost four o' clock when I unloaded the car. I went home and took a shower. I stayed at home until you caught me."
Han Bin didn't think the man was lying, so he changed his line of thought and asked, "If you had nothing to do with the kidnapping, why would the kidnappers use your bank account and give you money for free?"
"I don't know. I don't know anything. I'm just a driver."
"Where is your bank card?"
"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know? If you want to prove your innocence, think carefully!"
"I, I … I think."
After thinking for a moment, Liu Jingxiang said, "My bank card should be at home."
"Where exactly?"
"I really can't remember. My wife put everything at home. I always ask her when I look for it."
Han Bin was stunned for a moment and changed the topic. "Do you know what Bubbles is?"
"I … I seem to have some impression of it."
"What is it for?"
"I don't know. You can't remember."
Han Bin reminded him, "Have you seen it on other people's phones?"
"Phones?" Liu Jingxiang thought for a moment. "I think … I think I've seen it on my wife's phone. It's an app called Bubbles."
Han Bin turned his head and glanced at Zeng Ping.
Zeng Ping slapped the table. "F * ck."
…
Liu Jingxiang was handcuffed to the interrogation chair. Zeng Ping and Han Bin came out of the interrogation room one after another.
Tian Li, Li Hui, and Zhao Ming also came out of the observation room.
Zeng Ping went straight to the point. "Where is Liu Jingxiang's wife, Cui Xiaofang?"
"I don't know."
"We rushed back after catching Liu Jingxiang."
"Could she be at home?" The three of them answered.
They had never thought that Cui Xiaofang would be related to this case.
"Tian Li, Li Hui, the two of you go to Cui Xiaofang's house immediately and summon her verbally," Zeng Ping said.
"Yes." The two of them responded and immediately got to work.
After watching the two of them leave, Zeng Ping asked, "Brother Bin, do you think Cui Xiaofang is the prime suspect?"
"I've heard the blackmailer's voice. It's a male voice, but it's not Liu Jingxiang. If Cui Xiaofang is involved, she must have an accomplice," Han Bin analyzed.
"We've already alerted them. I think Cui Xiaofang has most likely escaped." Zeng Ping sighed.
"I suggest we track Cui Xiaofang's phone and continue interrogating Liu Jingxiang. They are husband and wife after all. He might know where Cui Xiaofang is hiding."
"Han Bin, Zhao Ming, the two of you continue interrogating Liu Jingxiang. Find out where Cui Xiaofang might be hiding," Zeng Ping ordered.
"Yes."
With that, Zeng Ping hurried to the forensics team. It was already late and most of the technicians were off work. He was not sure if they could track Cui Xiaofang's phone.
Han Bin and Zhao Ming entered the interrogation room again.
Liu Jingxiang looked anxious. "Officer, what's going on? Is this case related to my wife?"
"What do you think?" Han Bin asked.
Liu Jingxiang shook his head. "Impossible. How could my wife be related to a kidnapping case?"
"Since you think your wife is innocent, then cooperate with our investigation. When we finish the case, we will naturally clear your wife's name."
Han Bin changed the topic and asked, "What's your wife's phone number?"
"I …" Liu Jingxiang hesitated.
"You don't believe your wife?"
"I do."
"Then hurry up and tell me."
“132548XXXXX。”
Han Bin took out WeChat and sent her number to Zeng Ping.
"Does your wife have any relatives or friends in the city?" Han Bin asked.
"Officer, why are you asking this?"
"Do you want to clear your name? Do you want to prove your wife's innocence?" Han Bin asked sternly.
"Yes."
"Then answer my questions honestly. Don't ask why. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." It was Liu Jingxiang's first time in the interrogation room, so he was a little nervous and restless. When Han Bin yelled at him, he immediately became obedient.
"My wife has a cousin who also lives in Qindao. We are very close."
"Is there anyone else you want to get along with?"
"She also has a neighbor who is also close. They often go grocery shopping together."
"Tell me their address and contact information."
"Her cousin, Cui Xiaofen, lives in Qinling District, Unit 1, Building 5, Room 501. I don't remember her phone number."
"Do you have her number on your phone?"
"Yes."
"We will check it ourselves. Go on."
"My neighbor also lives in Liu An District. She lives in Unit 2, Building 3, Room 1203. I don't remember her phone number either."
"Where was your wife from the morning of August 18th to the afternoon of August 19th?" Han Bin asked.
"I don't know. I'm often away from home. I don't know where she is."
"Have you noticed that Cui Xiaofen has contacted a strange man recently?" Han Bin asked.
"A strange man?" Liu Jingxiang frowned. "I don't think so. My wife is very family-oriented. She wouldn't have contacted another man behind my back."
"Just tell me. Have you?"
"I'm often away from home. I don't know."
Zhao Ming couldn't help but interrupt, "She is your wife. How could you not notice anything unusual?"
"We are an old couple and our children are all grown up. I don't think … I don't think so …" Liu Jingxiang held his forehead with his right hand. He didn't know what to say.
"If you think of any clues, tell us immediately. Do you understand?" Han Bin said.
"Yes, I understand."
After that, Han Bin got up and walked out of the interrogation room.
Zhao Ming followed. "Brother Bin, where are we going now?"
"To arrest them!"
