"Honey, let's go."
"I, I …" Lin Hongguang said the word "I" a few times, his expression becoming more and more conflicted. "If I leave now, the police will definitely suspect me."
Lin Hongguang's wife was anxious. "What does this have to do with you? Why would they suspect you?"
"Just because it has nothing to do with me, I have to make it clear. If I leave just like that, they will definitely suspect me even more. Besides, where can I go? If I go to your parents' house, I won't feel at ease. Even if I leave, my heart will still be thinking about this matter. "Lin Hongguang shook his head." I can't. I have to talk to them. I have to make it clear. "
"You …" Lin Hongguang's wife hugged the child tightly. "Then what should we do?"
"You guys go. I'll find you later."
"You said the same thing last time, and you were locked up by the police. This time … I'm afraid …"
"What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of a crooked shadow. Don't talk nonsense. Let's go. I'll talk to the police. The police will think that I really did something after what you did. "
"What do you mean by that? Why are you blaming me again!"
"Alright, alright. You guys go first. I've made it clear, and I'll feel at ease. You just take care of the child. " Lin Hongguang said weakly. Then, he touched his son's face. "Son, listen to mommy. Daddy will find you later."
The little boy was too young to understand what had happened. He nodded and looked like he was about to cry again.
Lin Hongguang closed the unit door and watched his wife and child leave. Then, he turned back. "Captain Han, Officer Cui, I'm sorry."
Han Bin said, "It's okay. I just arrived at the crime scene. I heard that the police met you, so I wanted to talk to you. It's not compulsory. You have the right to refuse."
"I won't refuse. I've thought it through. I'm willing to talk to you."
Cui Hao nodded. "That's right. The police will only trust you if you take the initiative to help them. If you go against them … you're asking for trouble."
Lin Hongguang quickly said, "You're right. I panicked when I heard that someone died."
Seeing someone get off the elevator, Han Bin said, "Let's talk somewhere else. It's not appropriate to talk in the lobby."
"Yes, yes. Let's go to my house. There's no one there now, and it's quiet." Lin Hongguang also didn't want his neighbors to see him with the police.
Lin Hongguang lived in Room 1902, a two-bedroom apartment. The room was very warm, probably 25 or 26 degrees Celsius.
"Captain Han, Officer Cui, please take a seat first. I'll go pour some tea."
Han Bin politely declined, "There's no need to trouble yourself. We'll leave after taking a statement."
"That's good." Lin Hongguang sat on the sofa next to him, looking a little reserved.
"What's your relationship with Zhang Haonan?"
"It's nothing. We're just neighbors who live in the same building."
"According to Officer Cui, you had a conflict with Zhang Haonan on December 24th?"
"Yes, we took the elevator together. At that time, my son was also there. Zhang Haonan was smoking and choked my son. I advised him to put out his cigarette, but he didn't listen and scolded me. The two of us started fighting. After that … Officer Cui took care of it, and we were locked up for a day. I'm especially grateful to Officer Cui because I was the one who started the fight. If it wasn't for Officer Cui's help, Zhang Haonan wouldn't have let it go, and the matter wouldn't have been resolved so smoothly. "
"Have you met Zhang Haonan before this?"
"Yes, we all live in the same building. It's inevitable to see each other on the way to and from work, but we're not familiar with each other and haven't talked to each other."
"When was the last time you saw Zhang Haonan?"
"On the 25th, the last time we mediated at the police station. We haven't seen each other since then."
Han Bin wrote it down in his notebook, "When did you know that Zhang Haonan was killed?"
"In the morning, around 8 am. I went out to buy breakfast and heard the neighbors talking about it. I was also curious, so I went down to take a look. I was shocked when I saw Zhang Haonan sitting in the car. I didn't expect him to die just like that. "
"So, you admit that you went to the crime scene?"
"I went with the neighbors. The property management and security were there too. There were a lot of people. I was quite far away, so it had nothing to do with me."
"Do you have a car?"
"No."
"Other than watching the commotion this morning, have you been to the underground garage before this?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I really haven't been there. I don't have a car or a basement. Why would I go there?"
"How much do you know about Zhang Haonan?"
Lin Hongguang shook his head. "Not really."
"What do you think about his death?"
"I … I'm not familiar with him. If it weren't for the fight, the two of us would be complete strangers. However, he has no quality. To be honest, when I saw him die, I was a little scared, but I also felt quite relieved. An evil person like him should be taught a lesson by the bad guys.
"Where were you between 8 am last night and 8 am this morning?"
Although Han Bin didn't know the exact time of death, based on the situation at the crime scene, the victim should have died last night.
"I was at home. I was detained for a day. My wife was scared and wouldn't let me go anywhere, so I stayed at home. This morning, I went out to buy breakfast. It was the first time I went out since I was released from the police station."
"Who can prove it?"
"Just my wife and my son." Lin Hongguang paused and continued, "Captain Han, his death really has nothing to do with me. Think about it, I have a family and children. I can't kill someone for such a small matter, don't you think?"
"You, don't think too much about it. We just want to understand the situation and make it clear." Han Bin took out a business card and put it on the table. He stood up and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about this today. This is my business card. If you think of any clues, you can contact me."
"Okay." Lin Hongguang picked up the photo. "I'll send you guys off."
Cui Hao waved his hand. "No need. You pack up and go find your wife and children."
"Hey, I feel at ease now that I've made it clear. Just like you said, if I had just left and hid it in my heart, I probably wouldn't have been able to eat lunch. Now I feel much more relaxed. "
Then, Han Bin and the others got into the elevator. Cui Hao pressed the button for the second floor. "Captain Han, do you think he's suspicious?"
Han Bin said, "Although he had a conflict with the deceased, that conflict alone can't be considered a strong motive to kill.
However, a large number of cigarette butts were found at the crime scene and in the deceased's mouth, indicating that the murderer deliberately linked Zhang Haonan's death to smoking.
Lin Hongguang also had a conflict with Zhang Haonan because of smoking. This is why I took the initiative to talk to Lin Hongguang. According to Lin Hongguang's description, there is not much connection between the two people. The murderer's motive is somewhat intriguing. "
Speaking of this, Han Bin remembered the Z symbol on the right side of the deceased's neck. What did this mean?
