Han Bin thought about it and said, "Captain Ma, I think it's necessary to give Ren Lingling an addendum and see what she says. It'll be better than us making wild guesses."
"Sure." Ma Jingbo nodded. "Bring Li Qin and Bao Xing with you. Ren Lingling is the only witness and the authenticity of her statement is very important. We have to get to the bottom of it."
Han Bin and the other two packed up and rushed to the hotel where Ren Lingling was staying.
…
Xi Zi Min Hotel.
In a room on the fifth floor of the hotel, Ren Lingling sat on the sofa, hugging her legs and staring blankly.
The phone next to her was switched on and the screen showed a photo of her and Ma Jinlu.
Knock knock … Ren Lingling was startled by the sound of someone knocking on the door.
Ren Lingling was stunned for a moment before she slowly walked to the door. "Who's knocking?"
"Miss Ren, I'm Li Qin from the city's criminal investigation team."
Ren Lingling pursed her lips. "Officer Li, why are you looking for me?"
"I want to see how you're doing and ask a few questions."
After a while, Ren Lingling opened the door. "Come in."
Li Qin was the first to walk in, followed by Han Bin and Bao Xing.
Han Bin sized her up. "Miss Ren, how are you?"
Ren Lingling nodded slightly. "I'm better. Thank you for your concern. Please take a seat. "
After sitting down, Han Bin said, "Miss Ren, the previous statement wasn't complete enough. We'd like to give you an addendum."
Ren Lingling sighed. "Actually, I don't have much to say."
"We'll ask, you just have to answer." Han Bin flipped open his notebook. "Miss Ren, other than being a student, do you have any other jobs?"
Ren Lingling frowned slightly. "No."
"But according to our understanding, the house you're renting isn't a house but a shop. The rent is more expensive than a normal house and it's not as comfortable as a normal house. Why is that? "
"We're still students and this is our first time renting a house, so we don't understand these things."
"Miss Ren, the police have to distinguish truth from falsehood and find valuable clues from the many clues. Do you think this reason will convince us? Since we've come to find you, we've discovered some problems. "
"What problem? What problem do I have?"
"According to the neighbors, after 9 pm, strange men often enter your rented apartment. How do you explain that?"
Ren Lingling's face darkened. "I know what you're trying to say. I admit that I have a side job, and it's not very honorable, but it has nothing to do with this case."
Han Bin said sternly, "It's not up to you to decide whether you are related or not. There are many reasons for a case to happen. It has a lot to do with your environment, relationship, and people you interact with."
"What happened that night?"
Ren Lingling turned her head to the side. "I told you, I'm not lying."
"I'll ask you again. When the killer entered the house, was Ma Jinlu there?"
"No."
"What did he do?"
Ren Lingling lowered her head and whispered, "Soliciting customers."
Han Bin asked, "Didn't you just say that you didn't lie?"
Ren Lingling said helplessly, "I'm just afraid that you guys will misunderstand, that's why I said that. Other than this, everything I said is true."
"Misunderstand what?"
"I'm afraid that you guys will think that I'm not a good person in this line of work and that I won't investigate cases diligently."
Han Bin touched his nose. "What's your relationship with Ma Jinlu?"
"I already said that he's my boyfriend. What other relationship could it be? We're a couple."
Bao Xing was in disbelief. "What kind of boyfriend would let his girlfriend do that? If he's that kind of person, why are you still with her? "
Ren Lingling's expression was a little complicated. "I love him, and he loves me. We have no choice but to do this. As long as I can be with him, I'm willing to do anything. "
"What do you mean by there's no choice?"
Ren Lingling pursed her lips. "The two of us spend a lot of money, and our family conditions are average, so the money we give is not enough. We've taken out a lot of online loans, and the total capital is more than a hundred thousand. The interest alone is a lot. If we don't do this, how are we going to pay it back? "
Bao Xing said, "If you can't pay it back, you can tell your parents and let them pay for you. It's better than doing this."
"That's easy for you to say. Both of our families are average. If our families know that we owe more than a hundred thousand, even if they pay for us, they'll definitely make us break up."
Bao Xing shook his head. "I think breaking up is nothing compared to doing this. Pimping is not something a responsible man should do. "
Ren Lingling shouted with red eyes, "What do you know? You know how we feel about each other. We've been together since our first year of university, and we're true love. We've been through so much together, and we have so many memories together. I'd rather die than break up with him. "
Han Bin made a note in his notebook. "Do you have any more clues about Ma Jinlu's murderer?"
Ren Lingling shook her head. "No. I wish I could kill the murderer with my own hands. He killed the person I love the most, and he deserves to die. "
"Officer, you must tell me when you catch him."
Han Bin said, "Miss Ren, you're the only witness. If we want to catch the suspect as soon as possible, we need you to provide us with more clues."
Ren Lingling said helplessly, "I've told you everything I know."
After taking the statement, the three of them left the hotel.
Bao Xing asked as he drove, "Captain Han, do you believe Lingling's words?"
Han Bin had been observing Ren Lingling when they were taking the statement. "I can't tell if she's hiding anything or lying, but her feelings for Ma Jinlu should be real."
Li Qin nodded. "I also feel that her feelings for Ma Jinlu are real."
Bao Xing snorted. "Why do I feel that her love is more like a burden. She's a real silly woman. I won't want a woman like her, no matter how beautiful she is. "
Han Bin didn't reply, but he agreed with what Bao Xing said. Ren Lingling's love was indeed a little extreme. If her parents knew that their daughter did such a thing to pay off her debts, they would probably be heartbroken.
Li Qin thought for a moment. "Ren Lingling said something that left a deep impression on me. She said, 'I'd rather die than break up with him.' If Ma Jinlu broke up with her, what do you think would happen? "
Bao Xing said instinctively, "Of course, Ren Lingling would definitely beg him not to break up."
Li Qin asked, "What if Ma Jinlu insisted on breaking up?"
Bao Xing answered, "Ren Lingling has sacrificed so much. She might stab him to death in a fit of rage!"
After saying that, Bao Xing came to a realization. "F * ck, isn't Ma Jinlu stabbed to death with a knife now? Could the murderer be Ren Lingling? "
Han Bin rubbed his chin, thinking along this line of thought. Although this was completely a guess and there was no evidence at this stage, judging from the situation at the scene, it made more sense …
