Two in the afternoon.
Han Bin was lying on a folding chair, chatting with Wang Ting on WeChat.
"Creak …" The door creaked and Li Qin and Bao Xing walked in.
Bao Xing yawned, "Oh my, the traffic is so bad today. Why are there so many cars?"
Wang Xiao said, "It's a good thing that the economy of Qingdao is recovering. If everyone stays at home and doesn't come out, then something really bad will happen."
Han Bin put away his phone, "How's the investigation going?"
Li Qin took a glass of water and sat in her seat, "We went to Guangcheng International Equipment Company and met the company's general manager, Ye Hanji. We gave him a statement and asked about Wu Jianfei's situation in the company. "
"According to him, Wu Jianfei didn't have any abnormalities in the company before his death. He also felt that it was quite sudden and denied that Wu Jianfei's death had anything to do with the company's business."
"At the same time, he also provided a clue. According to him, Wu Jianfei didn't have a good relationship with his wife, Chen Shanmei, before his death. The two of them quarreled every two or three days and even wanted to divorce."
Jiang Yang said, "This can only mean that the couple's relationship was average, but it doesn't mean that Wu Jianfei's death has anything to do with his wife."
Bao Xing continued, "Ye Hanji also provided a clue. Before Wu Jianfei died, he always suspected that his wife had an affair. One time, she got drunk and said that the adulterers would get their retribution sooner or later."
Han Bin stood up and put away the folding bed, "Chen Shanmei came to the police station to give her statement. You've all seen her. What do you think of this?"
Bao Xing smiled, "Women nowadays can't be judged by their faces. I don't have much contact with women and I don't have much experience, so I can't tell."
Huang Qianqian snorted, "You're killing a bunch of people. If you think that all women have bad intentions, you can stay single for the rest of your life."
Bao Xing quickly changed his words, "That's not what I meant. Qianqian, you and Sister Li are definitely good women. I'm talking about the women I'm not familiar with."
Li Qin took over the conversation, "I think this belongs to two things. First, we don't know if Chen Shanmei really had an affair. Even if Chen Shanmei did have an affair, it might not have anything to do with Wu Jianfei's death. I've had a lot of contact with Chen Shanmei. I personally don't think she's that kind of person. "
"Of course, my feeling might not be accurate. We still need evidence to speak."
Han Bin nodded. "Sister Li is right. Regardless of the possibility, this is a clue. Sister Li, can you make another appointment with Chen Shanmei to give her a statement? "
"Understood."
Han Bin changed the topic. "Of course, the focus of the investigation is still on the female body. We need to find out the identity of the female body as soon as possible and find a breakthrough in the case."
Han Bin glanced at his watch. "That's all for now. Let's get to work. By the way, if Sister Li and Bao Xing are sleepy, you can take a nap. "
Li Qin said, "I'll pass. I just took a nap in the car. Bao Xing has been driving, let him rest for a while. "
Han Bin went out of the office and washed his face. He immediately felt more energetic.
In the morning, he talked to Ma Jingbo for a while and felt that the case that Ma Jingbo mentioned was somewhat similar, so he requested to see the case file.
Han Bin went to the archives to explain the situation. The application was approved and he got the file smoothly.
Back in the office, Han Bin began to look through the file carefully. He checked and recorded the suspect's motive, modus operandi, and process of handling the case.
Since there were similarities between the cases, there were some areas that could be used as reference.
As Han Bin looked through the file, he made a statement and noted down some key pieces of evidence.
"Creak …" The door creaked and Huang Qianqian walked in with a man and a woman.
The man and woman were in their fifties. They were supporting each other and had a sad look on their faces. The woman was sobbing as she walked.
Huang Qianqian introduced them. "Captain Han, these two are Gao Aixia's parents. They're here to identify the body."
After that, Huang Qianqian introduced Han Bin. "This is our captain and also the person in charge of the case."
Gao Aixia's mother grabbed Han Bin's arm. "Captain Han, who killed my daughter? You must avenge her."
Han Bin helped her sit down and comforted her. "Don't worry, this is our duty. We will definitely find out the cause of your daughter's death. If she was really killed, we will definitely find the murderer."
"Thank you, Captain Han. You're our family's benefactor." As she said that, Gao Aixia's mother was about to kneel down. Han Bin quickly helped her.
Huang Qianqian also came over to help and helped Gao Aixia's mother to a chair.
Han Bin was a little emotional when he saw Gao Aixia's mother. "Mrs. Gao, if you're not feeling well, you can go to the lounge next door. I'll take Mr. Gao's statement first."
Gao Aixia's tone was firm. "No, I'm fine. I want to stay here."
Han Bin didn't try to persuade her anymore and went straight to the point. "Okay, let's start taking the statement then. How should I address the two of you? "
"My name is Gao Wenjun. I'm Gao Aixia's father." The man's voice was a little hoarse. He looked a little down and haggard.
"My name is Xia Hongqi. I'm Gao Aixia's mother." The woman rubbed her eyes. "Captain Han, where's my daughter? Can I see her?"
Han Bin hesitated. "We haven't found the body yet."
"What? If you haven't found it, how do you know it's my Aixia? "Gao Wenjun said.
Han Bin took out a photo and put it on the table. "We found it from the surveillance video. Here's a high-definition screenshot. You can see if the deceased is Gao Aixia. I hope you'll be mentally prepared before you look at it …"
Before Han Bin could finish, Xia Hongqi snatched the photo and glanced at it. She was shocked and quickly threw the photo on the table. "Aiyo, how could this be … This is too …"
Han Bin added, "This is a photo of the deceased's body. If you're not prepared, it's best not to look at it."
"Let me see." Gao Wenjun looked down and gasped. "This … the photo is a little blurry. Is there anything clearer?"
Han Bin shook his head. "Our technical department has done our best. This is the clearest photo."
Gao Wenjun looked at it carefully again. "It looks like … it really looks like her."
Xia Hongqi took the photo and looked at it carefully. "What do you mean? This is Aixia. As a father, how can you not recognize your own daughter … sob …"
Xia Hongqi burst into tears. "My daughter, how could you die so tragically? How am I going to live if you leave your father and me behind?"
"How could you be so heartless? Why did you leave us behind? Sob …"
Li Qin handed over a pack of tissues. "Auntie Xia, the dead can't be brought back to life. My condolences."
Xia Hongqi did not reply. She continued to cover her face and cry.
Gao Wenjun's face was bitter. She hugged her wife and sobbed softly.
After a while, the couple gradually calmed down.
When they had calmed down, Han Bin came back with two glasses of water and placed them in front of them. "Are you sure this is Gao Aixia?"
They could only proceed with the next step of the investigation after confirming the victim's identity.
"I'm sure. This is my daughter. How could I not recognize her?" Xia Hongqi said firmly and shook her head. "I didn't expect to see her like this again. I'd rather be the one dead."
Gao Wenjun hammered her chest. "How could my daughter be so tragic? We'll never see each other again. When I think of this, my heart … "
Han Bin organized his words. "When exactly did Gao Aixia go missing?"
"I remember it very clearly. It was May 27th this year. We haven't seen her since then."
"Can you be more precise and give us a more specific time?"
Gao Aixia recalled. "She left after lunch, before two in the afternoon. We haven't heard from her since."
"Did she leave alone or with someone else? How did she leave?"
Gao Wenjun replied, "My daughter left alone. She said a friend was coming to pick her up. She's not young anymore, so we didn't ask much. Who knew something would happen to her?"
"Where do you live? Where does Gao Aixia live? Did she say where she was going with her friend? For what? "
"We live in Guangyi District in Changdao District. My daughter is divorced and lives with us. She was a little upset that day. I asked her where she was going, but she told me to leave it alone. She's grown up and doesn't like to talk to us. "Gao Wenjun sighed and continued.
"She didn't come back that night, and we couldn't get through to her on the phone. We were a little worried. Later, she sent us a text saying that she wouldn't come back tonight and was staying at a friend's house.
"Seeing her reply, we felt a little more at ease. Plus, she's thirty years old and divorced. We thought that she might have a new boyfriend, so we didn't ask any more questions. "
"The next day, I called my daughter again, but she still didn't answer, and she didn't reply to my text either. This made us even more worried. We called all our relatives and friends, but we still couldn't find Aixia. Later, we called the police.
"Who knew that we couldn't find her. We already had a bad premonition. I didn't expect it to be true … "
Gao Wenjun couldn't go on. She covered her face and choked with sobs.
Xia Hongqi shouted, "Police comrade, you must avenge my daughter. You must catch the murderer who killed her. I'll repay you even if I have to work like a cow or a horse in my next life. "
Han Bin advised, "Madam Xia, we're the police. It's our duty to protect the people. You don't have to do this."
"Police comrade, you don't know this, but we only have one daughter. She's always been very obedient and strong-willed. She's always been our pride and our spiritual support. Now that she's gone, there's no point in us living anymore. "
Upon hearing this, Li Qin looked worried. "Auntie, please don't think that way. You must take care of yourself. Gao Aixia's spirit in heaven wouldn't want to see you so sad. "
Han Bin also advised, "Madam Xia, we've just taken over the case and we don't know much about it. We still need your help to understand more about the case. If you fall sick, it will affect the investigation to a certain extent."
Xia Hongqi raised her head, clenched her fists, and muttered to herself, "Yes, I want to catch the murderer and avenge my daughter."
"Police comrade, please ask me. I'll tell you as long as I know."
Han Bin breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally back to the main topic.
Han Bin took out the photo of Wu Jianfei's corpse. "I have another photo that I'd like the two of you to identify. However, this photo is also of a dead body, so I hope the two of you can be mentally prepared."
Xia Hongqi took a deep breath. "No problem. As long as I can catch my daughter's murderer, I'm not afraid."
Gao Wenjun echoed, "Me too. As long as it helps solve the case, I'm not afraid."
Han Bin flipped the photo to the front and handed it to the two of them.
Gao Wenjun took the photo and looked at it first. Xia Hongqi also came over to take a look.
The two of them looked at it seriously and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, Han Bin said, "Do you know the person in the photo?"
Xia Hongqi slapped his forehead. "He looks familiar, but I can't remember who he is."
"Take a closer look," Han Bin suggested. If they could connect the two bodies, it was very likely that they would find a breakthrough point in the case.
Gao Wenjun took the photo and looked at it from afar. "I think he looks familiar too. What's his name?"
"His name is Wu Jianfei. He's in the sales business."
Gao Wenjun and her husband thought about it carefully. They looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
Gao Wenjun said, "He looks familiar, but I can't remember who he is."
Han Bin took out his phone. "Mr. Gao, I'll add you on WeChat later and send you a photo. You can ask Gao Aixia's friends and relatives to help identify him."
"Okay." Gao Wenjun agreed readily. "What does this person do? What does he have to do with my Aixia? "
Han Bin explained, "This person might also be one of the victims. If we can find out the relationship between her and Gao Aixia, we might be able to find the murderer."
Xia Hongqi patted his chest and said, "Okay, leave this to us."
Han Bin flipped through the notebook and continued to ask, "Was there anything unusual about Gao Aixia before she disappeared?"
Xia Hongqi swayed back and forth. "Nothing else, just that she had a bad temper. At the time, I thought she was immature and stubborn at such a young age. Now that I think about it, she might have met with some trouble. "
"It's all my fault. If I had cared more about her, she might not have died."
Li Qin comforted him. "There are no 'ifs' in this world, and you're not to blame for this. If someone had deliberately wanted to kill Gao Aixia, you wouldn't have been able to stop them. "
Han Bin asked, "Why did Gao Aixia get a divorce?"
"Our Aixia was a strong-willed person, but her husband was a glutton, lazy, and unmotivated person. The two of them quarreled many times over this matter, but in the end, they couldn't overcome this hurdle. " Xia Hongqi let out a long sigh. "Young people these days are spoiled. They can't take even the slightest grievance. They don't take their feelings seriously and divorce just like that."
"Back in my day, divorce was a big deal. Young people these days don't take divorce seriously at all. "
Han Bin then asked, "Do you have any suspects for Gao Aixia's murder?"
