Wang Xiaoyi lowered her head and said, "I didn't pay much attention before."
"Miss Wang, don't you think your answer is too perfunctory?"
"I've always had a bad memory and I'm busy with work. I really don't pay attention to other things." As if afraid that Han Bin would not believe her, Wang Xiaoyi added, "Besides, it's normal for clowns to appear at the amusement park. Even if the clown costume he wears is a little different from the clowns at our amusement park, as long as he doesn't meet the supervisor, no one will ask."
Han Bin did not make things difficult for her and let her leave. Then, he found her Ceng Shaowei to identify the clown.
However, Ceng Shaowei also said that he could not remember. This answer still did not satisfy Han Bin.
After seeing their attitude, Han Bin had already guessed the general situation. He did not ask the staff again and directly asked Wei Zimo to check the previous surveillance footage.
Not long after, Wei Zimo pulled up the surveillance footage from a few days ago and found the clown in the video. He was surrounded by a group of children and parents dressed exactly like the clown that appeared today.
This result was somewhat unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
What was unexpected was that if the suspect was really an employee of the amusement park who acted as a clown, then whether he wore the clown costume to commit the crime was meaningless. Everyone knew that he was acting as a clown. If they saw a clown, they would naturally investigate him. It was better to wear a mask to be safe.
Of course, it could not be ruled out that the clown killed without any rules and could do anything under impulse.
Han Bin looked at the sky. The sun was gradually setting in the west, but Wang Chang did not return. This in itself explained the problem.
Han Bin only asked him to find the staff who acted as a clown and bring two clown costumes at the same time. It would not take much time at all.
Han Bin took out his phone and called Wang Chang's number. "Hello, Manager Wang."
"Captain Han, it's me. What can I do for you?"
"Where are you? How's the investigation of the matter I asked you to do? "
"I'm near the hot air balloon. I'll be there soon."
"Alright then, we'll talk face to face later." Han Bin hung up the phone.
Not long after, Wang Chang ran over with a big bag in his hand. "Captain Han, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Manager Wang, why are you here alone?"
Wang Chang said, "The employee who acted as The Clown is currently handing over work to someone else. He'll be here soon."
"I remember you saying that your amusement park has two employees acting as clowns."
"Yes, one of them is off today, so he didn't come to work."
Han Bin asked, "Where's the clown costume?"
"Here." Wang Chang handed the bag to Han Bin.
Han Bin opened the bag and saw that the clown costume was exactly the same as the one in the video. Han Bin checked the pants carefully and found that the clown costume was in good condition. There were no signs of it being torn or damaged.
"Manager Wang, why is there only one clown costume in here? Where's the other one?"
"I only found one. At first, I was a little puzzled. Later, I asked the two employees who played the clowns. According to the employee who was resting, the clown costume was dirty, so he took it back to wash."
Han Bin smiled. "Your employee is quite responsible."
Wang Chang echoed, "Yes, yes. The working atmosphere in our amusement park is very harmonious. It's like a big family. "
"What's the name of the employee who was resting? Is it a man or a woman? "
"His name is Ren Bo. He's a man. He's not old, around 26 or 27 years old."
Han Bin made a note in his notebook. Just as he was about to speak, an employee in the amusement park uniform rushed over from afar. "Manager Wang."
Wang Chang pointed at the employee. "Captain Han, his name is Sha Cunying. He's also an employee who plays the clown."
Han Bin sized him up. He looked to be in his thirties. He wasn't very tall, had short hair, and looked clean and neat.
Han Bin called him to the side and asked, "Your name is Sha Cunying?"
"Yes, why are you looking for me, Comrade Police?"
"Your job in the amusement park is to act as a clown?"
"Acting as a clown is one of my jobs. I don't act as a clown every day. Usually, I'll act as a clown three times a week. We'll take a day off and I'll be in charge of other games for the other three days."
"Did you act as a clown today?"
"No. I was in charge of the pirate ship today. I was busy there until Manager Wang called me. "
"Do you know about the hot air balloon crash?"
"I heard about it. One of our colleagues went to help. I was the only one on the pirate ship. I couldn't leave, so I didn't go."
"What were you doing when the hot air balloon crashed?"
"I was at the pirate ship."
"Who can prove it for you?"
"A lot of tourists saw it at that time. There was also a colleague. There were cameras on the pirate ship. They can all testify for me." Sha Cunying replied and curiously asked, "Comrade Police, is there a problem? I've never been in charge of a hot air balloon project. The hot air balloon crash has nothing to do with me. "
Han Bin handed the bag that Wang Chang brought to Sha Cunying. "Take a look."
Sha Cunying opened it and was surprised. "Isn't this my clown costume? Why is it here? "
"I heard from Manager Wang that your amusement park has two sets of clown costumes. How can you be sure that this clown costume is yours?"
"I'm not tall, so I'm wearing a small size. Ren Bo is taller than me, so his costume is bigger." Sha Cunying took out her collar. "Look, there's a number here."
"Do you keep the clown costume?"
"It's usually kept in the storage room. Ren Bo and I have the key. When we want to dress up as a clown, we can wear it ourselves." Sha Cunying felt a little uneasy. "Comrade Police, what's wrong with this clown costume?"
Han Bin hesitated for a moment and took out the suspected suspect's clown video. "Take a look."
Sha Cunying took the phone and frowned. "This shouldn't be me. I'm not that tall. It's different from my body. "
"Is it Ren Bo?"
"The height is about the same. The clown costume is loose, so I can't really recognize it."
"How often do you wash the clown costume?"
"I can't say for sure. Once every half a month in the summer and once every month in the winter. We have to interact with children, so we can't have any odors."
"How do you usually wash the clown costume?"
"It's a uniform cleaning at the amusement park."
"Have you ever washed the clown costume by yourself?"
"No."
"What about Ren Bo?"
"I'm not sure. However, the clown costume is not a personal item. Generally, we are not allowed to take it out of the amusement park. If we have to wash it by ourselves, we need to report to our superiors. "
"Who do you report to?"
"Manager Wang Chang."
"Is there anything unusual about Ren Bo recently?"
"I'm not sure. Although we both play clowns, we don't communicate much. We don't stay in the same place. Either he stays at the entrance, and I stay in the amusement park. Or I stay at the entrance, and he stays in the amusement park. Sometimes, we also play clowns alone, but not necessarily on the same day. "
After taking the statement, Han Bin asked two police officers to follow him to the pirate ship to verify his alibi.
Then, Han Bin found Wang Chang. "Manager Wang, have you contacted another employee who plays clown, Ren Bo?"
"Yes, I've contacted him."
"Where is he now?"
"Something happened at home, so he went to work."
Han Bin pondered for a moment. "How did you contact him? Repeat it for me."
Wang Chang recalled. "I went to the storage room and found that a clown costume was missing, so I contacted Sha Cunying and Ren Bo. Sha Cunying is working today and is in charge of the pirate ship project. I contacted Ren Bo, and he said that he's off today and wanted to wash the clown costume during his break. "
"I asked him to bring the clown costume to the amusement park, but he said that he has something to do at home and can't go now. He will bring the clown costume back to work tomorrow. "
Han Bin frowned. This sounded perfunctory. "Manager Wang, give me Ren Bo's contact and address."
