Han Bin didn't speak immediately. He carefully looked at Wang Xiao's report and the simulated crime scene and found nothing missing. "What do you think about Lou Hexiang's situation?"
After a moment of silence, Zhu Jiaxu said, "Based on the current evidence, Lou Hexiang can be ruled out as a suspect for the time being."
Han Bin glanced at the others. "What about you? Are there any other suspicious points about Lou Hexiang? "
Seeing everyone shake their heads, Han Bin continued, "Okay, I'll report to the captain later and apply for Lou Hexiang's release."
Bao Xing licked his lips. "Captain Han, what about Lou Hexiang's mother, Lou Yuenan? Should we release her as well? "
Han Bin snorted. "Didn't she admit that she was the murderer? Then let's lock her up for a while longer."
Li Qin said, "Why do I feel like she's deliberately covering up for her son before confessing that she's the murderer?"
Zhao Ming replied, "If that's the case, could it be that she knows some inside information? Maybe Lou Hexiang did kill Dong Yubei, but Lou Hexiang used some kind of method to make the police think that he didn't commit the crime?"
Wang Xiao thought about it and replied, "That shouldn't be possible. The three of us simulated the crime scene many times. If Jin Zhiwen didn't lie, Lou Hexiang really didn't commit the crime."
Zhu Jiaxu said, "According to our investigation, Jin Zhiwen's testimony should be credible."
Bao Xing smiled and said, "Actually, there's another possibility. Lou Hexiang went to the crime scene and Lou Yuenan also thought that he was the murderer. We suddenly appeared at Lou Hexiang's house, so they didn't have time to confess. Lou Hexiang knows that he's not the murderer, but Lou Yuenan thinks that he is. "
Han Bin said, "Whether Lou Yuenan is the murderer or not, we can't let her go before the case is cleared up."
According to Han Bin's idea, if Lou Yuenan was the murderer, she definitely couldn't be released. If Lou Yuenan wasn't the murderer, then her previous behavior was interfering with the police investigation, so she couldn't be released easily. Otherwise, everyone would imitate her behavior in the future, which would bring great obstacles to the police investigation.
After Han Bin reported to Ding Xifeng, Ding Xifeng checked the information again before agreeing to release Lou Hexiang.
…
The next morning.
The Wuhua Mountain Murder Case held a case summary meeting. Attending the meeting were Deputy Bureau Chief Feng Baoguo, Captain Ding Xifeng, and all the members of Second Squadron.
In the conference room, Han Bin reported the progress of the case to the two leaders.
With Lou Hexiang's release, the focus of the investigation turned to Cen Yunna. Cen Yunna herself had an alibi, but in view of Cen Yunna's previous record of hiring a private detective to investigate and instructing her cousin to beat up Dong Yubei, Cen Yunna could also hire someone to kill.
After investigation, the alibi of the private detective Lin Baoguo was true, and he was temporarily excluded from suspicion.
After the two leaders understood the details of the case, they also helped to analyze the various possibilities of the case and reorganize the clues of the case. Feng Baoguo and Ding Xifeng had rich experience in criminal investigation, so they pointed out some shortcomings in the investigation.
Han Bin accepted it humbly and carefully recorded the contents of the meeting.
The meeting lasted for an hour. After the meeting, Ding Xifeng talked to Han Bin alone for a while before letting Han Bin leave.
Han Bin returned to the office. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a commotion in the office, and vaguely heard a familiar voice.
Han Bin pushed the door open and entered the office. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure. "Captain Ma, you're back."
Ma Jingbo sat on a chair, and the members of Second Squadron surrounded him.
"The doctor said that my injuries have stabilized, and I can be discharged to rest at home. I don't want to stay in the hospital for a second longer, so I came to see you guys. Where's the team leader? I have to go see him later. " After Ma Jingbo arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, he wanted to report to Ding Xifeng first, but Ding Xifeng was in a meeting, so he ran to Team Two's office first.
"The team leader just returned to his office."
Ma Jingbo stood up with the help of the chair. "I'm not going to talk to you guys. I'll go see the team leader first, and we'll talk when I get back."
Seeing his posture, Han Bin realized that his injuries had not fully recovered, and it was difficult for him to even walk. "Captain Ma, let me go with you," Han Bin said.
"No need, you lead them on the case first. I can go by myself. Let's have lunch together at noon, and we'll talk then. "Ma Jingbo waved his hand and rejected the others' offers of help.
What a joke, he couldn't afford to lose face in the police station. If others saw that he needed help to walk, he would rather not make this trip back.
At noon, Ma Jingbo went to the cafeteria with Han Bin and the others. Ma Jingbo's gunshot wound had not fully recovered, but because it was in his shoulder, as long as he didn't walk too fast, no one would notice anything unusual.
The members of Second Squadron occupied an entire row, and it was the first time Ma Jingbo had a meal together since he was injured.
When the other colleagues in the police station saw Ma Jingbo, they would also come over to say hello.
Ma Jingbo was injured, not resigned. Being injured was also a kind of honor and qualification. As long as the injury did not affect his body, and as long as there were no psychological problems, it was only a matter of time before he returned to the police force.
During the meal, they didn't talk too much about the case, but instead talked about some interesting things in their work. The atmosphere was good, and there was laughter from time to time.
After the meal, Ma Jingbo chased the others away to investigate the case, leaving Han Bin alone.
This time, Ma Jingbo came back to visit his old colleagues, and to pack up his personal belongings. When he found out that Han Bin hadn't used the Squadron Leader's office, Ma Jingbo was a little touched. Han Bin was a sentimental person.
He had seen many people's tea turn cold, and it made people sigh. Fortunately, it didn't happen to him.
Ma Jingbo took out the key to open the office door, and glanced at the familiar office. It was exactly the same as when he left, and it hadn't been moved at all.
"Han Bin, I'll pack up my personal belongings in a while. You can use the office properly."
Han Bin was silent.
Ma Jingbo patted him on the shoulder. "I'll leave Second Squadron in your hands. I believe in your ability. Do a good job."
"Yes, I won't betray your trust."
Ma Jingbo nodded. "Alright, I'll pack up and leave in a while. Get someone to clean it up later. "
"Captain Ma, I'll send you off later."
Ma Jingbo smiled. "No need. Your sister-in-law will be here in a while. She's good at packing, and I'm sure she'll be better than you."
"Then I'll have tea with you and chat for a while."
"Go, go. It's not like I'm not coming back. There will be plenty of opportunities to chat in the future. Go back to investigate the case. This is your first case since you took office. Don't mess it up, kid. "
Han Bin said seriously, "I can't. If I can't even handle my first case well, I won't be able to face you in the future."
"Go."
"Yes." Han Bin saluted and turned to leave the office. When he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Sister-in-law is here. Tell me and I'll send you off."
Ma Jingbo waved his hand. "Go, go. Don't dawdle."
Back in the office, Han Bin calmed down and returned to the case investigation.
During the morning meeting, Feng Baoguo and Ding Xifeng gave a lot of guidance and suggestions. One of them was to return to the crime scene and expand the scope of the investigation of the suspects. If the direction of the investigation was wrong, it would be useless no matter how hard they tried.
With Lou Hexiang's release, Cen Yunna was the only key suspect. Cen Yunna herself had an alibi, and there was no evidence of her hiring someone to kill.
Assuming that Cen Yunna was not the real murderer, no matter how hard Han Bin tried to investigate her, it would be useless.
Lou Hexiang was not the only one who went to Mount Wuhua on the day of the crime. Some tourists had also been there. Although these people did not have a motive, it was possible that they were attracted to her. Dong Yubei was naked when she died, which proved this possibility to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Han Bin decided on a new direction of investigation. He used all means to investigate people who might have been to Mount Wuhua on the day of the crime …
