City Public Security Bureau, Third Interrogation Room.
Wen Guanglei could be considered a regular at the police station, but it was his first time coming to the City Public Security Bureau.
He sat on the interrogation chair and looked at the glass on the right side of the wall. According to dramas, this glass was probably a one-way glass, and there might be someone watching him from the other side.
Wen Guanglei moved his wrists. He hated the feeling of being handcuffed.
"Creak …" The interrogation room's door suddenly opened, giving Wen Guanglei a fright.
Han Bin and Bao Xing walked into the interrogation room.
Wen Guanglei looked at the two and rolled his eyes. "Comrades, you're finally here. Can you take off my handcuffs?"
Bao Xing still remembered the incident with Mad Dog, so he wasn't going to be nice to him. "Cut the crap and stay put."
Han Bin sat at the interrogation table and started the routine questioning. "Name, age, gender, place of origin …"
"My surname is Wen, my name is Wen Guanglei, 42 years old, male, a native of Qingdao …"
"Did you call Gao Aixia at 1 pm on May 27th?"
Wen Guanglei thought about it. "Yes."
"How many calls?"
"Five calls in total. She picked up the first call. She didn't pick up the next four calls. "
"Why did you call her?"
"Gao Aixia owes me money and promised to pay me back that day. She didn't pick up my calls, so I used someone else's phone to call her."
"How much does she owe you?"
Wen Guanglei counted on his fingers. "More than a hundred thousand with interest."
"What's your relationship with her? Why did you lend her so much money?"
"We had dinner together a few times. We have a common friend, so we can be considered acquaintances. She asked to borrow money, and the interest wasn't low. I happened to have some spare cash on hand, so I lent it to her. " Wen Guanglei snorted. "Who would've thought that she would run into a deadbeat. Great, she didn't even want to pay me back a single cent."
Han Bin asked, "And then, what did you do to her?"
"What else could I do to her? Ask her for money. I went to her parents' place, and they said that she was missing. I didn't believe them, but they were pretty stubborn and told me to go to the police station. I'm so f * cking impressed. Those who owe money are all bosses these days. "
"He owes you so much money, you won't just let it go, will you?"
"Of course, I can't just let it go like this. I asked my friend at the police station. Heh, I didn't expect Gao Aixia's parents to really go missing. The police couldn't find them. Where can I go to find them? Don't you think it's annoying?"
Han Bin continued to ask, "What are you going to do about this?"
"Let's wait and see. I don't believe that she won't show up. Sooner or later, she will come back. When that time comes, I will follow her. When she returns the money, that will be the end of it."
"What if you find it, but she can't pay you back?"
"This …" Wen Guanglei hesitated. "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Han Bin probed, "What do you mean by that? Kill her?"
Wen Guanglei quickly shook his head. "No, no, I'm a law-abiding person. How could I do such a thing?"
Bao Xing harrumphed, "You're such a law-abiding person. I really couldn't tell."
"Officer, you must have some misunderstanding about me. I'm really a good person." Wen Guanglei said seriously, "By the way, why are you arresting me? It's not illegal for me to borrow money from someone, is it?"
Bao Xing took out a photo and placed it in front of Wen Guanglei. "Do you recognize this?"
Wen Guanglei glanced at it and was shocked. "Oh my god, this is a dead person!"
Bao Xing smiled. "Look carefully. Do you recognize her?"
Wen Guanglei took a deep breath and realized the seriousness of the matter. He picked up the photo with his slightly trembling hand and looked at it carefully.
"This person is lying in the pool, and there's still water … I can't see clearly. Do you have any clearer photos?"
"No, this is the only one. Hold it closer and look at it a little longer."
Wen Guanglei thought for a moment. "It looks a little like that b * tch, Gao Aixia. But if you look closely, I don't think it's her."
Han Bin confirmed, "Is this Gao Aixia? Give me an accurate answer."
"No, she just looks like her, but she's not Gao Aixia."
Bao Xing curled his lips. "The murderer thinks so too."
Wen Guanglei's face changed. "Officer, you can't just say that. You asked me to identify it. I'm just telling the truth."
Bao Xing pointed at the photo. "Gao Aixia's parents and ex-husband have identified the body. They all say that it's Gao Aixia. What else do you have to say?"
"You don't think that I killed her, do you?" Wen Guanglei regretted it as soon as he said it. "Officer, this case really has nothing to do with me. I wouldn't dare to kill anyone even if you beat me to death."
Han Bin said seriously, "Since you've asked your acquaintances at the police station, you should know that Gao Aixia's disappearance happened on May 27th, and you were her last contact. According to Gao Aixia's parents, the time she left home was very close to the time you called. We have enough reason to suspect that you're related to Gao Aixia's disappearance. "
Wen Guanglei shouted, "I'm innocent. I'm really innocent. To tell you the truth, I'm the one who doesn't want Gao Aixia to die the most. If she dies, how is she going to pay me back? I won't do this kind of unprofitable business."
Bao Xing said, "Of course you want the money, but Gao Aixia probably doesn't have it. Naturally, you won't let it go. It's also very likely that you'll do something irrational in a fit of anger."
"I didn't. I really didn't. I have a bright future ahead of me. Even if she refuses to pay me back, I don't have to kill someone for a hundred thousand. "
"Then tell me, who killed Gao Aixia?"
Wen Guanglei's eyes widened. "How would I know? At least it has nothing to do with me. Killing someone is the most worthless business. I won't do it."
"However, she doesn't just owe me money. She also owes a lot of money to others. Maybe she was killed by another creditor."
Han Bin asked, "Did Gao Aixia have a lot of debts?"
"I didn't know at first. Later, she didn't pay me back, so I asked around. It's said that she borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends around her. She borrowed as much as she could. She also borrowed money from her former colleagues. I'm not the only one looking for her. There are many people looking for her, but I happened to be a little unlucky and got caught. "
Han Bin noted it down in his notebook. "Why did she borrow so much money?"
"Investment. She said that she knows a boss in the Internet industry. The company is doing very well. She can definitely make money if she invests in it."
"You believe what she says?"
"I didn't believe her completely, but she gave me a high interest rate. I had some spare money and didn't have a good investment channel, so I agreed to lend it to her. To put it bluntly, I was greedy. But then again, how many people aren't greedy? "
"Which company did Gao Aixia invest in?"
"I think it's called New City International Network Co., Ltd. I heard that it's doing big data on the Internet. It sounds quite impressive, but we don't know what it is exactly."
Han Bin noted it down in his notebook. "Since you couldn't find Gao Aixia, did you ask her family for money?"
"I've tried. I've talked to her parents and ex-husband, but none of them were willing to help her pay the money. The most infuriating one was Gao Aixia's mother. She said that her daughter was missing. If I can find Gao Aixia, remember to tell her. She even thanked me." Wen Guanglei was so angry that he snorted.
"Pfft! Thank your mother, my ass! I can tell from one look that she's not a good person. "
Han Bin had been observing Wen Guanglei. His emotions were very real and didn't seem like he was lying.
On the contrary, when Gao Aixia's parents' statements were taken, he felt that Gao Aixia's parents were a little strange. It seemed like they were hiding something. Combined with Wen Guanglei's statement, Gao Aixia's parents were hiding the fact that Gao Aixia owed a lot of money.
This was a very important clue. Benefits were usually the most likely to cause conflicts.
Gao Aixia borrowed money and didn't return it. Which creditor wouldn't want to beat her up?
Logically speaking, Gao Aixia's parents had no reason to hide this.
Han Bin felt that he might have overlooked something.
