Hearing the sudden voice, the husband and wife were startled. They turned around abruptly and saw five people walking towards them. There were four men and a woman. It was Han Bin and the others from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit.
The man was a little flustered. "What are you doing?"
Han Bin flashed his police badge. "We're police."
The woman blurted out, "Police, how did you find this place?!"
Han Bin did not answer but asked instead, "What are your names?"
"Cao Junhao."
"Sun Xiaoru."
Han Bin laughed. "You really know how to run. You chose such a paradise to hide in. It's really enviable."
"Comrade police, we didn't run. We just came here to have fun."
"Why did you and your husband's phones stop working?"
Cao Junhao rolled his eyes. "Comrade police, you don't know how annoying those agents are. They call me every day to ask if I'm selling or renting a house. I'm here for a vacation and I'm not in the mood to do so. Later, my wife and I decided to just turn off our phones for some peace and quiet. "
"You're looking for peace and quiet. It's hard for us to find you."
"Comrade, why are you looking for me?"
"Don't you know what you've done?"
"We're all good people. How could we have done anything wrong? It's a misunderstanding. There must be a misunderstanding." Cao Junhao said perfunctorily, "Comrade, we're soaking in the pool. This isn't the place to ask questions. Can we go somewhere else?"
"Sure, let's go somewhere else then."
Cao Junhao suggested, "Can you go out first and let us change our clothes?"
"Change of clothes is fine, but you have to change separately. From now on, you and your wife can't be alone." With that, Han Bin gave Li Qin a look and asked her to bring Sun Xiaoru to change.
After Sun Xiaoru changed, Bao Xing also followed Cao Junhao to change. Then, the couple was brought into the police car.
Cao Junhao was still a little resistant when he was escorted to the police car. "Comrade police, where are we going?"
"The Municipal Public Security Bureau."
"Public Security Bureau?" Cao Junhao was a little nervous. "That's not necessary. We live in this neighborhood. Why don't we go to my house for a while? If you have any questions, you can ask at my house."
"Did you buy or rent this house?"
"No, it's a friend's. We're staying here."
"Since you're staying here, don't cause trouble for him. It's more convenient to go to the police station."
"Can you let us go home and change our clothes?"
"It doesn't matter what you wear at the police station. There's no need to be so particular about it." Han Bin was a little impatient. He waved his hand to have them escorted into the car.
After getting in the car, Cao Junhao suddenly asked, "Officer, which department are you from? I saw your ID just now, it seems that you are from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade."
"Yes, I'm from the city's Criminal Investigation Unit. Is there a problem?"
"Previously, we were contacted by the Economic Investigation Unit of the Xinhua Branch. How come it changed to your department?"
Han Bin did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Where were you between two and six in the afternoon yesterday?"
"We didn't go anywhere. We just stayed at the hot spring villa."
Han Bin signaled Bao Xing not to drive and asked, "Tell me your whereabouts between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. yesterday. The more detailed, the better."
Cao Junhao was a little confused. "What happened yesterday afternoon?"
Bao Xing scolded, "Why do you have so many questions? Answer whatever I ask you. If you don't have a guilty conscience, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Let me think. After lunch yesterday, my wife and I took a nap and got up at about 2: 30 p.m. We cleaned up and started to soak in the hot spring at about 3 p.m. We went to the restaurant for dinner at 5 p.m. We finished our meal at about 6 p.m. We went home after dinner. The restaurant is also in the villa area. It's a western restaurant on the second floor. If you don't believe me, you can ask. "
Han Bin ordered, "Wang Xiao, Jiang Yang, you two go and verify it."
After the two left, Han Bin continued to ask, "Cao Junhao, is Unit 501, Building 6, Binhai International Community your house?"
"Yes."
"When was the last time you went back?"
"A few days ago."
"How many days exactly?"
"On the morning of November 4th, we packed our things and moved here."
"I haven't been back since then."
"No."
"Is there anyone else at home?"
"There's a live-in nanny."
"What's her name?"
"Liu Yufen."
"When was the last time you saw Liu Yufen?"
"On the morning of the 14th. What's wrong?"
"Liu Yufen is dead."
"Ah! He's dead! "Cao Junhao's eyes widened in disbelief." Really? "
Han Bin took out a photo. "Look at it yourself."
Cao Junhao picked up the photo and looked at it. He was shocked. "Oh my god, she died in my house. She was fine that day. How did she die?"
"That's what we want to ask you. She died in your house and her husband wants an explanation."
Cao Junhao slapped his thigh. "Officer, we're innocent. What does this have to do with us? She died in our house. I feel unlucky."
"She died in your house. You and your husband went missing. Your phone was cut off and you hid so far away. Who else would you suspect if not you? "
"In all honesty, Liu Yufen's death has nothing to do with us. We moved here a few days ago and haven't seen her since. We don't even know when she died."
"Then why are you hiding here?"
"I … Previously, the Economic Investigation Team of the Xinhua Branch looked for us. We were afraid of trouble and didn't want to go to the police station to give a statement. So, we hid here."
"It won't take you half a day to give a statement. You hid here for a few days. If you don't have a guilty conscience, who would believe you?"
"Officer, listen to me. I really have nothing to do with Liu Yufen's death. As for the Economic Investigation Team's case, I know some of the situation. But people can't do what they want in the business world. If I give a statement, there will be a lot of trouble. I really don't want to get into trouble. "
"We don't care about the Economic Investigation Team's matters. You just need to explain Liu Yufen's case clearly."
Cao Junhao scratched his head. "What should I say? We're not at home. We don't know how she died. Could she have brought some shady people to my house?"
Han Bin pointed at the photo on the phone. "Look carefully. The clothes that Liu Yufen was wearing when she died. Are they her own?"
Cao Junhao glanced at it and glared. "No, this is my wife's clothes. I bought that watch for my wife when I was abroad last year. It cost me tens of thousands of yuan. How could Liu Yufen afford it?"
"You said that this is your wife's. Then why are the watch and clothes on Liu Yufen?"
"How would I know? If my wife saw it, she would explode."
Han Bin saw that he didn't seem to be faking it. He continued to ask, "Has Liu Yufen been acting strangely recently? Or has she offended anyone?"
"I didn't notice anything unusual about her. As for whether she has offended anyone, I'm not sure."
"What about you and your wife? Have you offended anyone?"
"No, we businessmen value harmony. My wife and I are very good people. None of our friends say anything bad about us."
"Who has the key to your house?"
"Just me, my wife, and the nanny, Liu Yufen."
"As far as you know, did anyone go to your house yesterday?"
Cao Junhao thought for a moment. "I don't think so."
"What valuable things do you have in your house?"
"My wife's jewelry, plus some cash, should be worth hundreds of thousands of yuan."
Han Bin made a note in his notebook. "Think again. Are there any other clues?"
"No, comrade policeman. We have been living in the hot spring villa these days. We haven't been home at all. Before you came, I didn't even know that Liu Yufen was dead."
Han Bin didn't say anything more. He turned around and went to another car.
Cao Junhao's wife, Sun Xiaoru, was in this car. Li Qin was sitting next to her.
Han Bin looked at her. Sun Xiaoru was in her thirties. She was very beautiful and dressed very fashionably.
Han Bin went straight to the point. "Sun Xiaoru, did you see Liu Yufen yesterday?"
"No, I haven't seen her for a few days." After Sun Xiaoru answered, she seemed to suddenly think of something. "Comrade policeman, could it be that Liu Yufen betrayed us … No, she shouldn't know we are here."
"Liu Yufen is dead."
Sun Xiaoru was shocked. "What? Dead! It can't be. We just met a few days ago. "
Han Bin took out the photo. "See for yourself."
"Oh, she's really dead. That's not right. Why is she wearing my clothes and my watch?" Compared to Liu Yufen's death, Sun Xiaoru seemed to be more concerned about this.
"I just bought this dress. I've only worn it once. What right does she have to wear my clothes? And my limited edition watch. I usually can't bear to wear it. She actually died wearing my watch. Isn't this disgusting? How am I going to wear it in the future? "
"I was wondering why my clothes often changed places and the pattern changed. It turns out that she made it bigger. This bad woman must have stolen my clothes more than once."
