Golden Beach District Police Station.
The station chief's surname was Song. In order to facilitate Team Two's investigation, he specially arranged a room as a temporary office.
When Han Bin and Tian Li arrived at the police station, Tian Li was preparing to give a statement to the informant.
The informant was a woman in her twenties. She wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans. She had shoulder-length black hair and was quite pretty.
Li Hui was a little depressed. He scratched his head and said, "Damn, why are there so many beauties today?"
Although there were many beauties, he was still a bachelor. It would be strange if he felt good.
Han Bin glanced at Li Hui and couldn't help but worry. As a police officer, it was important to have a healthy mentality. Only by taking care of his personal life could he focus more on work.
Li Hui was not young anymore and had never had a girlfriend. It was inevitable that he would have a mental breakdown.
Tian Li officially began to give her statement, which attracted Han Bin's attention as well.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"Officer, am I the informant?"
"Don't be nervous. I'm just taking notes and asking a routine question," Tian Li comforted him.
"My name is Tang Yu, female, 26 years old, from Gaolong …"
"What's the name of the victim?"
"He Shirui."
"Where is He Shirui from? How old is she this year?"
"She's also from Gaolong, the same age as me."
"What's the relationship between the two of you?"
"We're high school classmates. We've always been very close. I really didn't expect …" At this point, Tang Yu covered her face and started sobbing.
Han Bin took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Tang Yu. "Ms. Tang, I'm sorry for your loss."
"Thank you, officer." Tang Yu's voice was choked as she wiped her tears. "I'm sorry."
"Ms. Tang, we can understand how you feel. If my good friend died, I would also be very sad. No one would laugh at you," Han Bin comforted her.
Li Hui glanced at Han Bin and thought to himself, "When did this kid become so attentive? Could it be that he's looking for a fourth time?"
"When did you discover that He Shirui was missing?" Tian Li continued to ask.
"I found out this morning. I sent her a WeChat message asking her to have breakfast together, but she didn't reply. I thought she was sleeping in, so I went to her room to look for her. I couldn't knock on the door, and no one answered my phone. Later, I asked the hotel staff for help, and they opened the door for me. I found that she wasn't in the room at all."
"What time was it?"
"Around nine in the morning."
"Did you guys meet yesterday?" Tian Li asked.
"Yes, we played together during the day and only separated after dinner."
"Where did you have dinner and when did you leave?"
"At the hotel restaurant. I think they separated at around eight."
"Do you know where she went?"
"She said she wanted to go out and buy some souvenirs or something."
"Which hotel are you staying at?"
"It's at the Qianhao Hotel next to Jinsha Beach."
"Is there anyone else here besides you?"
"And my boyfriend."
"Miss Tang, why didn't your boyfriend report the case with you?"
"My boyfriend went out this morning. He's not in the hotel now." Tang Yu sighed.
"I didn't expect something to happen to Shi Rui. I thought she was in a bad mood and wanted to be alone. Maybe she would come back at noon, but I couldn't get in touch with her. I couldn't stay in the hotel anymore, so I went out to look for her. I heard someone drowned at the beach, I …"
Tang Yu choked with sobs again.
"Why do you think He Shirui was in a bad mood?" Han Bin asked.
"Not long ago, Shi Rui broke up with her boyfriend. She came to Qingdao with us to relax and forget about her ex."
"What's her ex's name? Why did they break up? "
"Her boyfriend's name is Mao Yiran. He's also from Gaolong City. They've been together for several years, and their relationship has been good. They're already talking about marriage. I don't know why they broke up," Tang Yu said.
"Did you guys contact each other again after you broke up last night?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes, I sent a WeChat message to ask her what she was doing. She didn't reply at first. At around 10 pm, she replied that she was drinking in a bar," Tang Yu recalled.
"I asked her who she was drinking with. She said she was alone. I told her to go back to the hotel early. She said she got it, and we didn't contact each other again. I was tired and fell asleep soon after."
"Which bar?"
"I'm not sure."
"Did she do anything unusual in the past two days?"
"Unusual?" Tang Yu murmured, "She must be sad because she just broke up. I didn't find anything else."
"Does she know how to swim?"
"No."
"Do you think He Shirui will commit suicide?"
"I don't think so." Tang Yu shook her head and said, "Mao Yiran contacted her again. It seems that he still wants to get back together with her."
"Ms. Tang, do you think it's possible for them to get back together?" Han Bin asked.
Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely. Shi Rui was deeply hurt this time. I don't think she'll forgive him easily."
"Did He Shirui bring any valuable belongings?"
"As far as I know, no."
"Does she have any enemies?"
"She's a quiet person and rarely quarrels with others. Besides, we just arrived in Qingdao and don't know many people. How could there be enemies?"
"Who's in He Shirui's family?"
"Parents, a brother, and a sister."
"Do you have their contact information?"
"I have her sister's WeChat."
…
When the statement was taken, Zheng Kaixuan and Zeng Ping also rushed over. They just stood on the side and didn't interrupt the process.
After the statement was taken and Tang Yu was arranged to go to the lounge, Zheng Kaixuan asked, "What do you think of this case? Suicide or homicide?"
"Captain Zheng, I think there's another possibility," Li Hui said.
"Say it."
"He Shirui didn't know how to swim, and the sea was stormy. If she drank and went for a walk on the beach, she might be swept into the sea by a wave."
"Yes, it could also be an accident."
Zheng Kaixuan nodded and continued, "Our main task now is to rule out the possibility of homicide."
When it came to homicide, it was usually revenge, love, robbery, etc.
Han Bin took out a cigarette and played with it in his hand. "We can confirm that the victim drowned, but we don't know where she fell into the water. There are too few clues, so it's hard to judge."
"Then we'll split up and collect clues. If it's suicide or an accident, we'll help the family deal with the aftermath; if it's homicide, we'll do our best to investigate." Zheng Kaixuan also took out a cigarette and held it in his hand.
"Tian Li, you're responsible for notifying the family to identify the body. Then go to the telecommunications company and print out He Shirui's communication records."
"Zhao Ming, go to the hotel with the forensics team and check He Shirui's room to see if there are any clues."
"Old Zeng, contact the network staff and get the chat records of He Shirui's favorite chat apps."
"Han Bin, Li Hui, go to the hotel and check the surveillance cameras. See if you can find any clues about He Shirui's death."
"Yes."
Everyone responded and split up to carry out their tasks.
