Han Bin flipped through the file carefully. There weren't many valuable clues, and there were people on duty at the funeral parlor on the night of the theft. The suspect could be said to be extremely daring.
Han Bin handed the file to Wang Xiao after reading it. "Officer Ma, I read that there were people on duty at the funeral parlor on the night of the theft. Did they hear anything?"
Ma Juntao thought for a moment. "There were four people on duty that night, and they were all called to the police station to make statements. The four of them drank a little that night and then sat together to play mahjong. They weren't in the same room as the body."
"Also, they played mahjong loudly and were more focused. I didn't hear anything unusual."
"Is there a problem with these four people?"
Ma Juntao thought for a moment. "I also did some investigation on these four people, and I didn't find any obvious problems."
Han Bin asked, "Is the room where the four of them played mahjong far from the morgue?"
"I don't know if you've been to that funeral parlor. There's a relatively long corridor on the first floor, and the morgue is at the far west end. They played mahjong in a room four or five rooms away. As long as the robbers didn't make too much noise, it's possible that they didn't hear anything. "
Han Bin had never been to that funeral parlor, and he had no idea what it was. "Officer Ma, if it's convenient for you, please take us there."
"No problem." Ma Juntao sighed. "This case hasn't been solved yet, and I don't feel good about it. Some people even spread rumors that the corpse turned and ran away on its own. Isn't that bullsh * t?"
"There's a funeral parlor here, and people are already a little afraid. If this gets out, it'll become a joke."
The group then split into two groups. Wang Xiao and Jiang Yang stayed at the police station to look at the surveillance footage from the night of the disappearance of the body.
Although the camera might have been blocked, as long as they looked carefully, they might be able to find some clues.
Han Bin and the others went to the funeral parlor with Officer Ma.
No one wanted to go to a place like a funeral parlor, but due to their duties as police officers, Han Bin and the others had to go. Fortunately, it was daytime, and the atmosphere wasn't particularly depressing.
With Ma Juntao's help, Han Bin met the person in charge of the funeral parlor, Sun Shaoping.
Sun Shaoping looked to be in his fifties. He was not tall and had a beer belly. He warmly received Han Bin and the others.
Han Bin went straight to the point. "Curator Sun, did the funeral parlor lose a female corpse in May?"
"Yes, yes, a female corpse was lost. Her surname was Lu. I still remember it clearly." Sun Shaoping had a bitter look on his face. "I remember it was delivered in the afternoon. We were going to burn it the next day, but the body was stolen that night."
"Aiyo, that's a tough nut to crack. The family of the female corpse came and demanded an explanation from me. One of the male family members slapped both of us."
"I'm really wronged. I got slapped and I can't even reason with you. Don't you think it's infuriating?"
"Has your funeral parlor ever lost a corpse before?"
"No, the deceased is more important. It's not a small matter to lose a corpse. If it weren't for the police that day, that group of family members would have beaten me half to death. Once is enough. If it happens a few more times, my funeral parlor will close down. "Sun Shaoping then asked," Captain Han, why do you want to ask about this case? "
Han Bin said, "We are currently investigating a case that is likely to be related to this case, so we want to come and learn more about it."
"So, there's a new clue."
"Yes."
Sun Shaoping said, "That's great. If we can really solve this case, we can also give the deceased's family an explanation. I have to thank you."
"This is what we should do. You just need to assist us in the investigation and provide some relevant clues."
Sun Shaoping said confidently, "No problem. I will do my best to assist my police comrades in their work. "
Han Bin took out a photo of a female corpse from Qingdao Medical College. "Look at this photo. Does it look like Lu Yuee?"
Sun Shaoping glanced at it. "Yes, it really does. It's just that the photo is a little blurry. There are clearer ones."
"This is the clearest screenshot of the video."
Sun Shaoping looked at it carefully again. "It should be Lu Yuee."
Han Bin asked, "It's been so long. Do you still remember what she looks like?"
"How can I forget? Her family comes to the funeral parlor every few days to cause trouble. One moment, they want me to retrieve the body, and the next moment, they want me to pay for it. What I want most now is to find the body as soon as possible. I dare to forget. I dream about it at night. "
"How much did they ask the funeral parlor to pay?"
Sun Shaoping stretched out two fingers. "Two million."
Bao Xing was surprised. "That much!"
"That much?" Sun Shaoping shook his head and sighed. "It was even more before. They asked for three million. How could I afford it? If I really could afford it, I wouldn't be doing this kind of work. Two million was the result of talking for half a day. "
"But I can't afford this amount either. If it's a zero, maybe I can grit my teeth and keep the peace. But how do I get this two million?"
"Do you have any suspects for the body being stolen?"
"I've thought about it …" Sun Shaoping smacked his lips. "Normal people don't usually do this kind of thing. The female body was young and not bad looking. I thought maybe she had some bad hobbies and stole the body."
"Curator Sun, you know this industry better. As far as you know, is there any profit chain in the industry related to corpses?"
Sun Shaoping shook his head. "I really can't think of that. Besides, even if there is a profit chain, what can they do by stealing a body? I can't figure it out. "
Han Bin changed the topic. "I heard that there were people on duty the night the body was stolen? Are they still working in the funeral parlor? "
Sun Shaoping thought for a moment. "Three of them are still working here. One of them resigned."
"They made such a big mistake and you still want to use them?"
Sun Shaoping showed a hint of bitterness and lowered his voice. "If firing them could solve the problem, I would have fired them a long time ago. If I keep them, at least the family members won't trouble me alone. I'll just work for now. "
"Besides, this industry … Not everyone can work in it. If I fire them all at once, it won't be easy for me to hire more people."
"Curator Sun, please call them over. I want to talk to them."
"They are all working the night shift and haven't arrived yet. But it doesn't matter. I'll contact them and ask them to come over immediately." Sun Shaoping made an inviting gesture. "Police comrades, please go to my office and sit for a while."
Han Bin waved his hand. "I won't go to the office. I want to go to the morgue to take a look."
Sun Shaoping was stunned. He had worked in the funeral parlor for so many years and this was the first time he had received such a request.
