Han Weilong panicked. His eyes widened. "Officer, you can't say things like that. I was just chatting with a friend. How did it become me passing information to a suspect? You can't accuse me of anything. "
Bao Xing sneered. "Heh, you're quite stubborn."
"Officer, I'm telling the truth."
Han Bin changed the topic. "Who is that Old Qian guy?"
"He's just a friend."
"Where did you meet him?"
Han Weilong hesitated for a moment. "I met him on the internet."
"Do you know his name?"
"I don't know."
"Have you met him in person?"
"No."
"You invited him to your house without even meeting him? Aren't you afraid that he's a bad guy? "
"Captain Han, you cops deal with bad people every day. Everyone looks like a bad guy, but we're different. I feel that there are more good people around me. I don't have so many thoughts. "
Han Bin smiled. "From what you're saying, it sounds like we're not thinking normally."
"No, I wouldn't dare to say that."
"Why did he go to your house?"
"To play."
"To play what?"
"To walk around the house and get to know the door. You'll get familiar with it after a while."
Han Bin twirled his pen. "That's right. From a stranger to a friend, there's a process of interaction. But the problem is that you were working the night shift at the funeral parlor. You weren't even at home. Even if Old Qian went to your house, he still wouldn't be able to see you. He might not even be able to enter. "
"Also, the content of your conversation doesn't make sense at all."
"Captain Han, people are different. They have different ways of talking. Some people like to drink coffee, while others like to eat garlic. Isn't that the case?"
Han Bin said seriously, "Don't try to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. You weren't even at home. Why did Old Qian go to your house?"
Han Weilong was stunned. "Yes, I wasn't at home, but my wife was."
Jiang Yang had just taken a sip of water. He almost spat it out. "Brother, you're really brave. You let a stranger you've never met go to your house and let your wife receive him. Aren't you afraid that something might happen?"
Han Weilong didn't mind. "Police comrade, I'll still say the same thing. How can there be so many bad people in this world? Besides, we're all friends."
Bao Xing asked curiously, "Then how do your wife and your friend get along? What do they talk about?"
Han Weilong shrugged. "I'm not sure about that, because my friend didn't go."
Han Bin asked, "Did you keep in touch after that?"
"No, I deleted the app after that, so I couldn't contact him anymore."
"Why did you delete that chat app?"
"My phone didn't have enough memory, so I wanted to delete a few apps. In the end, I deleted that app by mistake. Later, I couldn't remember the app's password, so I didn't log in again. Old Qian stopped contacting me."
"What a coincidence."
Han Weilong nodded. "It is quite a coincidence."
"So you don't know anything about Old Qian's identity?"
"Yes, I've never seen him before, and I don't know his name."
Han Bin flipped open a document. "You don't know, but I can tell you. 'Old Qian' is just an account name. His surname isn't Qian. His name is Li Zhantong. "
When Han Bin and the others arrested Han Weilong, Wang Xiao had already found out about Old Qian's identity, but he hadn't found his whereabouts.
"Are you familiar with this name?"
Han Weilong stuttered. "No … I'm not familiar with it."
"Now that you know, do you want to meet him?"
"Meet?" Han Weilong panicked. "How do you want to meet him? Don't tell me … you've already caught him?"
"Yes, he's in the interrogation room next door. If he's honest, he might be out by now. Besides, we've even caught you, the main culprit. He can't take the blame even if he wants to. "
"Main culprit? Who's the main culprit? How did I become the main culprit? "
Han Bin picked his ear. "Since it's a gang crime, there must be an organizer, and the organizer is naturally the main culprit. When we came in, Li Zhantong had already given you up. He said that you're the main culprit of the theft, and he's just a driver. He didn't even come into contact with the corpse. "
"According to the law, your crime and sentence are much heavier than his. He might be released after a period of time, but you … tsk tsk, you're in for a long time."
"Captain Han, how can you believe what he said? I'm an employee of the funeral parlor. How could I be the main culprit of the theft? He's simply framing me."
Han Bin knocked on the document on the table. "He's already given you up, and there's even a chat message as evidence. If you're not the main culprit, who is? Someone has to take the blame for this case. "
Hearing Han Bin's last sentence, Han Weilong shuddered. "Police comrade, I'm really not the main culprit. Besides, what can those chat messages prove? They're just chatting nonsense."
Han Bin snorted. "You're still quibbling? Your chat was just passing information. Li Zhantong even helped us translate it."
"The meaning of the message was that I'm playing mahjong with three people on night duty. You can come and steal the corpse, but don't make too much noise to alert them. I'll help you keep an eye on it. "
"Li Zhantong's explanation is more convincing than your nonsense."
Han Weilong lowered his head and scratched his head. "Captain Han, I'm innocent. That bastard is framing me."
"Bam!" Bao Xing slammed the table. "Cut the crap. Hurry up and tell me where the corpse is hidden."
"I don't know. How would I know where the corpse is?"
"You're the main culprit. This theft was planned by you. If you don't know, who would?" Bao Xing's tone became harsher. "Speak. What's your purpose in stealing the corpse?"
Han Weilong knocked on the interrogation chair. "How did I become the main culprit? I'm more innocent than Dou E."
"Knock knock …" Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Han Bin turned to Jiang Yang and said, "Go and take a look. Maybe Li Zhantong is done with his interrogation. He's just waiting for us to close the case. "
"Kaka …" Jiang Yang moved his fingers. "This case has been going on for a few days. It's finally going to be closed."
Han Weilong held onto the interrogation chair with both hands and leaned forward. "Captain Han, what case? I haven't said anything yet."
Han Bin took out his phone. As he scrolled through his phone, he said nonchalantly, "You're not the only one who committed the crime. Even if you don't say anything, your gang will. There are witnesses and material evidence, and someone has come forward to testify against you. It doesn't make much of a difference whether you say anything or not. The verdict will still be the same. "
Han Weilong shouted, "They're obviously framing me!"
"Bam!" Bao Xing slammed the table and scolded, "What are you shouting for! Who's framing you? There's evidence and witnesses. Your gang has said it clearly. How can they frame you? "
Han Weilong explained, "They're colluding to frame me. I'm not the mastermind at all. I'm the one who spread the news. They were the ones who came up with the idea to steal the body. They were the ones who bribed me to be a mole and help pass the news."
Han Bin put down his phone. "What's the point of saying this now? What did you do earlier? They have evidence. What evidence do you have? "
"I have evidence too. That Li Zhantong gave me money. It's always the mastermind giving money to the accomplices. Have you ever seen an accomplice giving money to the mastermind? "
"Li Zhantong never said anything about money. Don't just say it out loud."
"He really gave me money. Li Zhantong transferred the money to my sister's WeChat account."
Han Bin jotted it down in his notebook. "How much did he transfer?"
"Thirty thousand."
"When did he transfer it?"
"He transferred it twice. One was before the crime and the other was after the crime. We can find out. "
"What's your sister's name?"
Han Weilong hesitated. "Han Weiyan."
"Contact information and home address?"
Han Weilong pleaded. "Officer, I'm telling the truth. Please don't contact my family. I really don't want to implicate them."
Bao Xing glared at him. "Now you know that you're implicating your family? What were you doing earlier?"
"I'm sorry. My sister has already given me the money. Can I hand it over to the police?"
Han Bin said seriously, "This is not about the money. Since your sister is involved in the case, we need to question her as well."
"Captain Han, why are you looking for her? She doesn't know anything. She just helped me collect the money. "
Bao Xing was getting impatient. "I don't need you to teach me how to investigate a case. Tell me her contact information and address, and we'll find her to verify the situation."
Han Weilong hesitated for a while. He knew that he couldn't avoid this, so he told him Han Weiyan's contact information and address.
Han Bin continued to ask, "What role did you play in this theft?"
"I just helped to pass the message. I didn't participate in anything else. I was the one who spread the news. I wasn't familiar with the suspects. They were in cahoots, so they worked together to frame me as the mastermind. "
Han Bin noted it down in his notebook. "How did you get in touch with them?"
"Li Zhantong found me. He treated me to a drink and asked me if I needed money. I said, who doesn't need money these days? Then, he asked me to help keep an eye on the morgue. He told me to inform him if there were young female corpses in the morgue, and he would reward me. "Han Weilong sighed.
"I was a little puzzled at that time. I asked him why, but he told me not to ask so much and said that I wouldn't be forgiven."
"After a while, Lu Yue-er's body was sent to the morgue. I took the opportunity to look for Du Shun and went to the morgue to take a look. It met Li Zhantong's requirements, so I contacted him."
"At that time, Li Zhantong asked me to help him steal the corpse. My first reaction was to refuse. After all, this is my job. If the morgue found out, my job would be ruined."
Bao Xing asked, "Then why did you tell him before?"
"I didn't expect him to break the law. I thought he was in the underground matchmaking business. If they directly contact the family members, as long as the family members agree, there won't be any problem. If both parties are willing, I can help my friend and I can also earn some wine money. Isn't that good?"
"Why did you agree to help him later?"
Han Weilong sighed. "Li Zhantong is indeed a character. He directly transferred ten thousand yuan to my sister and said that he would give me another twenty thousand after the deed was done. That's thirty thousand yuan in one go. I can't save that much money even if I worked hard for a year. How could I not be tempted? "
"Then … I agreed in a muddle-headed way."
"What's your relationship with Li Zhantong? How did he find you?"
"We got to know each other after drinking together. We all have common friends." Speaking of this, Han Weilong was a little emotional. "Many people instinctively have some resistance when they know that I work in a funeral home. Some even look down on me. I've gotten used to it after so many years."
"Li Zhantong is different. After he found out about my job, not only did he not alienate me, but we also got along quite well. We had a few meals together and became friends after a while."
"Now that I think about it, he might have had this idea for a long time. Sure enough, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions."
Han Bin asked, "Why did Li Zhantong steal the corpse?"
Han Weilong shook his head. "I don't know. I also asked, but he smiled and told me not to ask. He also said that it was for my own good."
"When I heard his tone, it probably wasn't a good thing, so I didn't dare to ask more. It's better to have less trouble."
"How many people are in your theft gang?"
Han Weilong said, "Captain Han, actually, I'm not in the same gang as them. I'm just a temporary lookout."
Han Bin did not dwell on this point and continued to ask, "Besides Li Zhantong, who else do you know in this theft gang?"
"I only know Li Zhantong. I haven't been in contact with anyone else. I only know that there are three of them involved in the theft."
"How do you and Li Zhantong keep in touch?"
"We usually talk on the phone. It's not easy to be suspected if we communicate normally."
"You're quite experienced. Do you two still keep in touch?"
Han Weilong shook his head. "No. I know that his work is not clean, and I don't want to get myself into trouble."
"Where does Li Zhantong live?"
Han Weilong felt that something was wrong. "Captain Han, haven't you already caught him?"
Han Bin did not answer his question. "We haven't found the corpse yet. If you can help us find Lu Yuee's body, it will be considered a meritorious service. We can give you a reduced sentence."
"I really don't know. I'm not with them. I just provided them with information that night. I don't know what they're up to, let alone where the corpse is."
"What about Li Zhantong's house? Have you been there before? "
"Once. He invited me for a drink. The courtyard is quite big. It's in the northern suburbs of the southern city district."
"Can you tell me the specific address?"
"Xihua Village, north of the village. It's next to a piece of land. The courtyard is quite big. I've only been there once. "
"Can you still find it?"
"No problem."
Han Bin did not ask any more questions. Han Weilong thought that Li Zhantong had been caught, which was why he was so quick to confess. If he asked any more, Han Weilong would definitely be suspicious.
"Rest for a while, then take us to Li Zhantong's house. As long as we can find the female corpse, you've done a great service."
Han Weilong asked, "Did Li Zhantong not say where the corpse is?"
Han Bin felt that Han Weilong should already be suspicious. "He's now insisting that you're the mastermind and saying that he doesn't know where the corpse is hidden?"
"He's lying. The person who doesn't know is me." Han Weilong was anxious and worried. "Officer Han, if I take you to his house and you really find the corpse, you won't suspect me of being the mastermind, right?"
Han Bin said, "You said it yourself. It's Li Zhantong's house. What does it have to do with you?"
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. I'll take you to his house now and expose this bastard's true identity."
"Rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time to leave." Han Bin finished speaking, then packed his things and left the interrogation room.
Han Bin reported the situation to Ma Jingbo. After receiving Ma Jingbo's permission, he went through the application procedures and escorted the suspect, Han Weilong, to Xihua Village.
…
An hour later, Han Bin and the others arrived at Xihua Village.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Han Bin did not bring too many people with him. He only brought two cars.
In addition to the members of Team One, Han Bin also called He Yingsheng and Zhang Shungu.
The two cars stopped in front of a house in the village. The car window was lowered, and Han Weilong looked out through the window. He pointed with his two hands. "Yes, yes, this is the house. The last time I went there, there was only Li Zhantong."
Han Bin got out of the car alone and walked around the house. The door was locked from the outside. Han Bin stood at the door for a while, but he did not hear anything.
Han Bin waved his hand and the team members got out of the car one after another.
"Sister Li, go and ask the neighbors what's going on with this family."
"Yes," Li Qin replied and turned to go to a house next door.
After a while, Li Qin walked out of the neighbor's house. "Captain Han, according to the neighbors, this family moved to Quan City a few years ago and the house has been rented to someone else."
"I showed them Li Zhantong's photo and they confirmed that Li Zhantong lives here. However, according to them, they haven't seen Li Zhantong for the past few days and they don't know where he went."
Han Bin asked, "Other than Li Zhantong, is there anyone else here?"
Li Qin replied, "The neighbors said that they saw Li Zhantong bring outsiders here before, but they haven't seen anyone come in or out of the house these past few days."
Han Bin nodded. "The information provided by this neighbor is very important. However, we can't rule out the possibility that the suspect is hiding in the house and purposely creating the illusion that no one is home. Everyone should be careful when entering the yard."
"Yes," everyone replied.
After that, Han Bin arranged for the team to enter the yard in two groups. One group would use the roof of the neighbor's house and the other group would jump off the wall.
The two groups entered the yard one after another. The yard was very big and there were only three houses. They looked quite old.
The doors were all locked and there was no sign of anyone inside the house from the windows.
Han Bin ordered, "Pry open the doors and search room by room. Be careful."
The team began to split up. One group pried open the door and the other group stood guard, searching room by room.
"No one found. It's safe!"
Three consecutive cries of safety rang out, and all three rooms were searched.
Han Bin shouted, "Check if there are any suspicious items."
"Captain Han, we found some household garbage in the house on the west side."
"We found several empty boxes of fans and electric heaters in the house on the east side. But we didn't find any fans or electric heaters. "
Han Bin frowned. It was a hot day and it was understandable to use fans, but why would they use electric heaters? Moreover, they bought several of them at once. "Did you see any fans or electric heaters in the other houses?"
"No."
"Not in this house either."
Han Bin scanned the yard. Although there was a pile of junk on the west side of the yard, he did not see any electric heaters or fans.
Did the suspect take these things away or hide them somewhere in the yard?
"Search carefully again. See if there are any places to hide things in the house and yard."
"Yes." The team began to split up.
Someone searched the house, knocked on the walls, looked under the bed, and searched the roof.
Someone searched the yard, rummaged through the junk, stomped on the ground, and checked the toilet.
After a while, Bao Xing shouted, "Captain Han, we found a cellar here."
Han Bin and the others immediately walked over and whispered, "Everyone be careful. The suspect may be hiding below."
Han Bin and the others took out their weapons and were ready to arrest. Bao Xing suddenly opened the cellar and a disgusting smell floated out.
Wang Xiao held a flashlight and shone it inside. "Captain Han, there's no one in the cellar, but … I saw a coffin."
