Qinling District, Cui Xiaofen's house.
"Sis, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I was cooking for you."
"No, I came after dinner." Cui Xiaofang forced a smile.
"Brother-in-law went out to drive a sports car again?" Cui Xiaofen asked.
"Yes, I'm alone again. The house is empty at night, and I'm a little scared, so I came to keep you company."
"Come on, let's talk. It's good to talk. It's so boring to stay at home alone. I have a place to stay. It's very convenient," Cui Xiaofen said.
"I won't disturb you and brother-in-law's private world."
"What are you talking about? We're an old couple. Private world?"
Buzz … Cui Xiaofang's phone rang. She glanced at it and got up. "I'm going to the bathroom."
"I'll go cut some fruit." Cui Xiaofen got up and went to the kitchen.
Cui Xiaofang quickly went to the bathroom and turned on her phone. Bubbles sent a message.
"Sis Fang, why are you in such a hurry? Do you miss me?"
"Kai? Where are you? "Cui Xiaofang asked.
"I'm at the hotel." Kai sent a smirk. "On the king-sized bed."
"Stop fooling around. I have something serious to talk to you about."
"What is it?"
"Did you do something bad with the bank account I gave you?"
"No."
"Really."
"Didn't I say that I vouched for someone, but that person ran away. My bank account was frozen, so I borrowed your bank card," Kai explained.
"That bank card belongs to my husband. The police came today and took him away," Cui Xiaofang said.
"Oh, maybe your husband did something wrong. Didn't you ask clearly?" Kai was concerned.
"I asked, but the police refused to tell me."
"Then your husband must have done something wrong."
"It can't be." Cui Xiaofang frowned. Liu Jingxiang's husband was an honest person. He hadn't done anything wrong all these years.
"I just asked for your bank account. The card is still in your hands. Did anyone transfer money to you?"
"No."
"That's great. What does it have to do with me?" Kai said.
"Seems like it."
"Alright, I still have something to do here. Let's talk another day." Little Kai went offline after he finished speaking.
Cui Xiaofang sighed. She still felt a little uneasy. She thought to herself, 'Could it be that Jing Xiang really committed a crime outside and was arrested?'
"If that's the case, why would I hide?"
"Sister, why did you stay here for so long? Are you not feeling well?" Cui Xiaofen knocked on the door.
"I'm good." Cui Xiaofang pressed the toilet button and washed her face. She forced herself to look relaxed and walked out of the bathroom.
"Knock knock …" At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Who?" Cui Xiaofen asked.
"Downstairs, your toilet is leaking."
"Sis, is the toilet leaking?"
"I don't think so." Cui Xiaofen wasn't sure either. She was too busy talking about the bubbles to notice if there were any leaks.
"Wait a moment."
Cui Xiaofen didn't do anything against her conscience, so she wasn't vigilant. She was afraid that her house was really leaking water and flooded downstairs, so she went straight to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, two men barged in. "Police."
"What are you doing at my house?" Cui Xiaofen asked in surprise.
Han Bin ignored her and walked straight to Cui Xiaofang. "Cui Xiaofang, you ran pretty fast."
"Comrade police, why are you here?" Cui Xiaofang shivered a little. She recognized Han Bin.
"We're here for the reason you ran. Are you going to leave by yourself, or do you want us to take you away?" Han Bin took out the handcuffs.
"Sis, what's going on?"
"I don't know either." Cui Xiaofang shook her head. "Comrade police, why are you arresting me? Is it related to my husband? "
Han Bin took out a piece of paper with a bank card number written on it. "Your husband's bank card, are you using it?"
Cui Xiaofang's face turned ugly. "I … I don't know anything. I'm just …"
Zhao Ming snorted. "Let's go. We don't know now. We'll know when we get to the station."
…
Ten o 'clock at night.
Kojima Substation, interrogation room.
Cui Xiaofang met her husband in a hurry outside the interrogation room. They didn't even have the chance to talk before she was brought into the interrogation room.
Han Bin was the main interrogator. Tian Li was recording at the side. There was a video camera on the interrogation table.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"My name is Cui Xiaofang, female, 44 years old this year …"
"Cui Xiaofang, do you know why I brought you here?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know, or you don't want to say?" Han Bin asked.
"Officer, I really don't know why you're arresting me." Cui Xiaofang bit her lip.
Han Bin picked up a transparent plastic bag from the table. There was an iPhone inside.
"Is this your phone?"
"Yes."
Han Bin opened the phone and found the Bubble app. He checked the chat history. "Who is Xiao Kai?"
Cui Xiaofang's body trembled. Her voice trembled. "A … a friend of mine."
"You gave Liu Jingxiang's bank card number to him?"
"Yes."
"Where is he now?"
"I don't know."
"What's his real name?"
Cui Xiaofang shook her head. "I don't know."
"What's his phone number?"
"I really don't know. We keep in touch through the Bubble app."
"What does he look like?"
"He's in his twenties. He's quite handsome. He looks like Kim Minyong, a celebrity from the Republic of Korea."
"Heh, you do remember that. Listen carefully." Han Bin snorted. "Do you have a photo of him?"
Cui Xiaofang thought for a moment. "I think I took a screenshot of him during our last video chat."
Han Bin took out her iPhone and looked through the photos in the gallery. He asked her to identify them one by one. Soon, he found a photo of a shirtless young man.
"He's Xiao Kai?"
Cui Xiaofang nodded.
"Other than the Bubble account, you don't know anything else about him?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes."
"Cui Xiaofang, I'm officially informing you that you're involved in a kidnapping case. I hope you can tell the truth and cooperate with the investigation," Han Bin said seriously.
"Kidnapping case? How is that possible? "Cui Xiaofang panicked and said," I didn't do anything. How could I be kidnapped? "
"This bank account was provided by the kidnappers for ransom. If you can't explain clearly, we'll list you as a suspect."
"Police, you must believe me. I'm really innocent. I just lent the bank account to Xiao Kai. I don't know anything about the so-called kidnapping case," Cui Xiaofang shouted.
"If you're not involved, why did you give your husband's bank account to a stranger?"
"One of Xiao Kai's buddies was doing business and asked Xiao Kai to help as a guarantor. He couldn't bring himself to do it, so he helped. In the end, Xiao Kai lost money and ran away. As the guarantor, Xiao Kai had to bear the responsibility. The money in his bank account was frozen." Cui Xiaofang choked and continued.
"Xiao Kai was doing business with someone and didn't dare to use his own bank account, so he asked me for help. I thought that there was no money in the card and I wouldn't lose anything, so I told him my bank account number."
Han Bin thought for a moment. "In other words, Xiao Kai has a sum of money that he wants to deposit in this bank account."
"Yes."
"Why did you give him the money?"
"He told me to wait for the money to be transferred to the account. He told me to withdraw the money first and give it to him when we meet."
"Where do we meet?"
"At a hotel."
"Which hotel?" Han Bin scrolled through the Bubble and deleted the previous chat history.
"I … I don't know which hotel," Cui Xiaofang said stiffly.
Han Bin felt that she was lying again. He took Cui Xiaofang's phone and handed it to Tian Li. "Go and ask Liu Jingxiang if there's a hotel near his house."
