Han Bin sorted out his thoughts. "Why did the two of you want to meet at Mount Wuhua?"
Lou Hexiang had a complicated look on his face. "That's the place where we had our first date. It's very meaningful."
"There's something I want to confirm with you. When was the last time you met?"
"In late August, when we broke up. Is there a problem with that?"
"Then do you know how long she's been pregnant?"
"Four months."
"How do you know she's four months pregnant?"
"She told me."
"But according to the results of our autopsy, the child in her stomach is only nine weeks old."
"Officer, what do you mean?" Lou Hexiang counted with his fingers. "More than two months. That's impossible. We haven't seen each other for at least three months. How could the child be only nine weeks old? "
Han Bin said seriously, "The autopsy report doesn't lie."
"She lied to me … She lied to me again!" Lou Hexiang covered his face and cried. "The child isn't mine. She had it with another man. Why did she lie to me? Why did she do this to me … Why …"
Han Bin unscrewed the teacup and drank some more tea. When he was almost done crying, he continued, "What you said just now about how even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs is very good, but it's not suitable for you."
Lou Hexiang shook his head. "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't do it."
Han Bin said, "The problem now isn't whether I believe it or not, but you have to show evidence to prove your innocence. You were at the crime scene, you have a motive, and you lied to the police. The situation now is very bad for you. "
"I already said that when I left, Dong Yubei wasn't dead yet."
"Then show me the evidence to prove it."
Lou Hexiang pinched his forehead hard. "How can I prove it? How can I prove it …"
Han Bin said, "When you left the scene, what was Dong Yubei doing? Was there anything unusual around? Was there anyone else at the scene …"
"Let me think, let me think … I'm innocent. I can definitely remember, I can definitely …" Lou Hexiang muttered.
Han Bin didn't rush him. He leaned back in his chair and quietly drank his tea.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the interrogation room. "Dong dong …"
Li Qin pushed the door open and walked in. She whispered, "Captain Han, Zhong Xiuyuan is here."
Han Bin stood up and stretched. "You two continue with the interrogation. I'm going out for some exercise."
Han Bin walked out of the interrogation room and stretched his limbs before returning to the office. At this time, an unfamiliar man was sitting in the office. He looked to be about 35 or 36 years old. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black trench coat. He was also holding a briefcase in his hand.
Huang Qianqian walked over and introduced, "Captain Han, this is Mr. Zhong Xiuyuan."
Han Bin sized him up and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhong."
Zhong Xiuyuan froze for a moment and then reacted. "I think it was you who called me."
"It's me."
"What happened to Dong Yubei? You should tell me now, right?"
Han Bin said, "Dong Yubei is dead."
Zhong Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly, "Dead! When did she die? "
"November 30th, afternoon."
"Where did she die? Don't tell me she died at my house."
"No, you don't have to worry about that."
Zhong Xiuyuan let out a long sigh. His forehead was covered with sweat. "It's too sudden, too sudden …"
"When did Dong Yubei rent your house?"
"It's been three months."
Han Bin noted it down in his notebook. "What's the relationship between the two of you?"
"Didn't I tell you? I'm her landlord and she's my tenant."
"That's it?"
"Of course, it's that simple."
Han Bin changed the topic and asked, "November 30th, between three and six in the afternoon, where were you?"
Zhong Xiuyuan shouted, "Why are you asking this? You don't suspect me of killing her, do you? How could I do such a thing? She's just my tenant. Besides, even if she doesn't pay me the rent, I can just deduct her deposit. It's not a loss. "
Han Bin stared at him for a while, "Your acting skills are good, but no matter how good your acting skills are, some evidence can't be changed."
Zhong Xiuyuan chuckled, "Hehe, what evidence? I don't even know what you're talking about."
Han Bin raised his eyebrows. "When we investigated Dong Yubei, we printed out her recent call records. Other than the five calls after her death, the two of you were in contact every day before her death. The relationship between landlord and tenant is too good."
Zhong Xiuyuan swallowed his saliva. "I called her a lot recently because she didn't pay the rent, and I'm urging her to pay it."
Han Bin took a sip of tea. "Don't just say whatever you want when you talk to the police. Think carefully before you speak. Lying to an ordinary person, even if they see through you, it's just an embarrassment. However, lying to the police can lead to jail time. You've heard of obstructing law enforcement, right? If it's serious, you can be sentenced to jail. "
Hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan shuddered.
Knock knock … At this moment, someone knocked on the office door. Ma Xiwen pushed the door open and walked in.
"Captain Han …" Ma Xiwen glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan. "Oh, you have a guest."
Han Bin got up and walked out of the office with Ma Xiwen. "Brother Ma, there's a result."
Ma Xiwen nodded. "You're in such a hurry. I didn't even have time to eat because of this test report. Here, take a look at it yourself."
"Brother Ma, you've worked hard. I'll treat you to a meal another day." Han Bin took the test report and glanced at it. "This test report has several pages. You should tell me about it."
Ma Xiwen said, "Lou Hexiang's DNA test report is out. It doesn't match the DNA found in the deceased's body."
Han Bin revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll remember your meal."
Han Bin patted Ma Xiwen's shoulder. "Brother Ma, since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave. There's still one more person in the office."
Ma Xiwen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Sigh … What else can I say? Let's go."
The two entered the office. Han Bin went straight to the point. "Mr. Zhong, this is our colleague from the technical department. He wants to collect your fingerprints and DNA."
"What? Why do you want to collect my DNA? I already said that Dong Yubei's death has nothing to do with me. "
Han Bin asked, "Does the child in Dong Yubei's belly have anything to do with you?"
Zhong Xiuyuan opened his mouth but didn't answer.
"Brother Ma, you've worked hard."
Ma Xiwen stepped forward and collected Zhong Xiuyuan's DNA and fingerprints.
When Ma Xiwen left, Zhong Xiuyuan collapsed on the chair. It was as if his soul had been taken away.
Han Bin noticed his abnormal expression and asked with concern, "Mr. Zhong, are you okay?"
"Officer Han, I … It's not too late for me to say it now."
"Say what?"
Zhong Xiuyuan lowered his voice. "As long as you don't sue me for obstructing law enforcement, I can confess to you. I'm a member of the system and I can't have such a record."
"You're a smart person. I like dealing with smart people. As long as you don't lie again, I can let you off the hook for your previous behavior."
Zhong Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, ask away. I'll tell you everything."
"What's your relationship with Dong Yubei?"
"She's my girlfriend."
Han Bin asked, "What's there to hide about a girlfriend?"
Zhong Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice. "I'm married. I have a wife."
"No wonder."
"I was afraid that it would affect the public, so I didn't dare to admit my relationship with her. However, I have nothing to do with her death. I was very sad when I heard that she died. "Zhong Xiuyuan took off his glasses and wiped the lenses.
"When was the last time you saw Dong Yubei?"
"The morning of November 30th."
"We found a man's DNA in Dong Yubei's body. Is it yours?"
"Yes, I went to see her that morning and we were intimate."
"Is the child in Dong Yubei's belly yours?"
Zhong Xiuyuan nodded silently.
"How long have you been with Dong Yubei?"
Zhong Xiuyuan recalled for a moment. "About half a year."
