In the wee hours of the morning, when Han Bin recorded Ren Lingling's statement, he didn't feel that she was lying.
Ren Lingling's sadness and fear were real, strong, and persistent. Under such strong emotions, even if Ren Lingling was lying, Han Bin wouldn't be able to tell.
Han Bin took out the photos of the two victims for the lady boss to identify. She confirmed that the two victims were the tenants of the house.
Then, Han Bin walked around the store. "Lady boss, how many surveillance cameras do you have in this store?"
"Two. There's one at the cashier's desk, and another in the corner."
"Aren't there any cameras outside the door?"
"In the past, a kid knocked it off with a slingshot, so I didn't install any more. Anyway, there are two in the house. If a burglar really broke in, he would still be able to capture it. "The lady boss said with a curious expression.
"Officer, what happened to the young man who rented the house next door? Why is the house locked down? "
Han Bin still wanted to ask a few more questions, so he didn't hide anything. "Last night, someone snuck into their house. Not only did they commit a theft, but they also killed the man."
The lady boss was shocked. "What? Killed? You mean someone died? "
Han Bin nodded.
The lady boss was confused. She didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
"Last night, what time did you leave?"
"Around nine o 'clock. We usually close after nine o' clock."
"So early?"
"It used to be 10 or 11 o 'clock, but recently, there aren't many people after 9 o' clock. This is a small street, and outsiders don't come here. It's just the surrounding residents. It can't be compared to the city."
"Did you notice anything unusual before you closed the door?"
"Nope. I only cared about my own stall. I didn't have much contact with them, so I didn't pay much attention. "
"What about after nine? Did you hear anything unusual?"
"Even less. My store is rented, so it's not suitable for people to live in the back. We closed the door and went home. My house is about a mile away. How could I have heard anything? "
"Did the store show any signs of burglary?"
"Probably not." As she said that, the lady boss glanced around the shop again. "In the past, my shop has lost things. Cigarettes, cash, and so on. They've all been stolen. So every day after I open for business, I'll check if there's anything missing. Today, nothing is missing."
Han Bin thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Did the couple next to them have any conflicts with other people?"
"I don't remember."
"Alright, thank you. This is my name card. You can contact me if you think of anything."
The lady boss took the name card and glanced at it. "Captain Han, sure. No problem."
Han Bin thanked him again and left with Bao Xing.
The two of them walked out of the canteen. On their right was the sealed house. Bao Xing glanced at it and said, "I was wondering why it felt so weird. So it's a prostitute business. But Captain Ma sent someone to check, and they are indeed university students. "
Han Bin took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Bao Xing. "University students nowadays are not the same as they were ten years ago."
Bao Xing took out a lighter and lit Han Bin's cigarette for him. He smiled and said, "That's true. I heard a joke. When a young man went to university, it was easy for him to find a job as a university student. After four years of university, there were too many university students, and it was hard to find a job. Good companies required graduate students to graduate.
"The young man took the postgraduate exam. He thought that he would be able to find a good job after graduation, but after graduation, he realized that postgraduate wasn't worth much, and it was still hard to find a job. He wasn't even as good as the previous batch of students who entered society after graduation. "
Han Bin glanced at the surrounding merchants. "Let's go. Let's find someone to ask."
Han Bin and Li Du went to the phone repair shop next door and asked about the situation. The phone repair shop closed early, and most of the time, it closed after eight o 'clock.
However, according to the boss, there were a few times when he returned home late after working overtime. He did see strange men enter the house next door, and he also heard some inappropriate sounds.
There were surveillance cameras installed at the entrance of the phone repair shop, and Han Bin took away the boss's surveillance memory.
Then, Han Bin went around the area again. He asked about Ma Jinlu and Ren Lingling, and he also collected surveillance footage.
The two of them worked until past eleven o 'clock. Most of the surrounding shops had responded that there would be strange men entering Ma Jinlu and Ren Lingling's house at night.
Basically, it could be confirmed that the two of them were in the prostitution business.
Han Bin and Li Du had lunch nearby before returning to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Ma Jingbo and Li Qin were both in the bureau, while Wang Xiao and Jiang Yang had gone to the school to investigate and had not returned yet.
Ma Jingbo held a big teacup and leaned back on the chair. "How's the investigation going?"
Han Bin described the investigation in the morning to Ma Jingbo and Li Qin.
After listening, Ma Jingbo looked enlightened. "I knew it. No matter what, I don't think that house is suitable for living."
Huang Qianqian's eyes widened. "If Ren Lingling really did that kind of thing, then her statement is fake."
Li Qin shook her head. "That's too arbitrary. We can only say that she hid part of the situation, but we can't prove that her statement is fake."
Bao Xing said, "I agree with Qianqian. I also think that her statement is fake. She reported that she was able-bodied, robbed, and killed. However, if she was in the prostitution business, why would the suspect be able-bodied? "
Ma Jingbo took over the conversation. "I understand what you mean. However, as long as it's against the woman's will, it can be considered able-bodied. It has nothing to do with what kind of business she's in. "
Bao Xing said, "I just don't think that's necessary."
Han Bin said bluntly, "The suspect's motive was robbery. Do you think he would give Ren Lingling money?"
"Of course, due to the uniqueness of her profession, we can't rule out the possibility that Ren Lingling might have hidden some of the details of the case. What we're discussing now is that Ren Lingling might have hidden some key clues."
Huang Qianqian raised her hand. "I have a question. I suspect that the two of them aren't a couple at all. What kind of boyfriend would let his girlfriend do such a thing?"
"Even if that man has no conscience, Ren Lingling isn't stupid. How could a man who would let her do such a thing really love her? "
Bao Xing added, "I agree with Qianqian. Most men would get angry when they see their girlfriend having a meal with another man in private. There are plenty of fights and injuries because of this. I don't think any man would let his woman do such a thing. "
Ma Jingbo twirled his pen. "Qianqian is right. This possibility is very high, but we still have to check again."
There were many kinds of people, and not everyone could stick to the bottom line.
There were cases of husbands soliciting customers and wives receiving customers. Ma Jingbo had caught such cases before. Not only were they husband and wife, but they also had a child. It was indeed quite damaging, but it did exist.
Of course, this kind of situation was still very rare, but the police needed evidence when investigating a case. They had to ensure that it was 100% accurate. They could not stop investigating just because the possibility was small.
Han Bin cleared his throat. "I've been thinking about the suspect's motive. According to Ren Lingling, it should be a robbery that evolved from theft to robbery and murder."
"But according to the situation at the scene, the murderer seems more like he was killing to vent his anger. Also, if he was really a pimp, why would Ma Jinlu be playing games or drinking at night when he was busy?"
"I'm thinking that the murderer could be a client. After the transaction, there was a conflict between the two parties, and Ma Jinlu was killed during the conflict."
Li Qin said, "Captain Han's guess is possible, but when we gave Ren Lingling a statement, she said that the murderer wore stockings on his head. If the murderer was a client, he wouldn't have worn stockings before killing. Ren Lingling should have seen his face."
"Also, if Ren Lingling had seen the murderer, then she would have been killed. This doesn't make sense."
