Ma Shan confessed to his crimes, but Han Bin wasn't satisfied with his confession.
Through his criminal analysis, Han Bin concluded that these were most likely two cases of hired killers, and this Ma Shan was most likely the killer. He didn't kill people to enforce justice; he was instead hired by someone else.
Of course, this was only Han Bin's personal speculation. There was no evidence to prove this, and Ma Shan wouldn't reveal the organization and employer behind the scenes. In fact, he might not even know the identity of the employer.
If he wanted to pry open Ma Shan's mouth, he would have to find new evidence. An interrogation wouldn't be very effective against a convicted criminal like him.
At 8pm, Han Bin arrived home to find Wang Ting cooking in the kitchen.
Wang Ting was wearing pink pajamas, and her long hair draped over her shoulders, giving her a seductive appearance.
After washing up, Han Bin entered the dining room, and he was a little surprised to catch a whiff of fragrance. "Are you steaming buns, Tingting?"
Wang Ting glanced at her watch. "There's still two minutes left. Take a seat, and you'll find out soon."
"That's quite mysterious." Han Bin smiled. From the smell, he could tell that it was most likely a good one.
Aside from the buns in the pot, there was also a plate of cold dishes on the dining table. There were shredded potatoes, shredded radish, and shredded tofu mixed together. There were vitamins, carbohydrates, and protein in this dish. Although it was a simple dish, it was very nutritious.
Wang Ting turned off the stove. "Let's wait for another two minutes. We'll be able to lift the lid after the steam has dissipated."
Han Bin smiled. "You're quite professional."
"Of course, I used to run a restaurant before." Wang Ting wore a proud expression, but then a hint of dejection appeared on her face as she said, "Sigh, I thought that the pandemic wouldn't affect me anymore after the new year, so I could spend the next 21 years building my business. Who knows what will happen after the new year? "
Han Bin shrugged. "Let's just take it one step at a time. It's not like you're short on money anyway."
"It's not about money. I'm bored to death staying at home all the time."
"When you're not busy, I'll go out with you."
Wang Ting harrumphed. "Are there times when you're not busy?"
Han Bin smiled awkwardly and pointed at the steamer. "The steam is gone. I should be able to lift the lid now."
"Open the lid." Wang Ting was a little excited. She opened the lid of the pot, and a wave of fragrance assailed her nose.
"It smells so good." Han Bin looked into the pot. He had guessed half of it correctly. It was not steamed buns, but steamed dumplings.
Han Bin swallowed his saliva. "It looks good."
He was already hungry.
Han Bin took a small plate and poured some vinegar. Wang Ting also put the steamed dumplings on the table.
Han Bin couldn't wait to take a bite. It was so hot that he grimaced. "It's delicious. It's filled with beef, right?"
"Beef and green onions." Wang Ting also picked up a steamed dumpling and tasted it. "It's not bad. I didn't waste my afternoon."
Han Bin kissed Wang Ting. "Honey, you've worked hard. I'll play with you for a few days after I finish this case."
"Ah, your mouth is greasy. Eat your steamed bun." Wang Ting scolded. Her beautiful eyes turned. "Right, I have something serious to tell you."
"What is it?" Han Bin took another bite of the steamed dumpling.
"My university classmate is getting married. She's from Quancheng. She invited me to the wedding. Come with me."
"Your classmate is getting married. I don't know her. Is it okay for me to go?"
"She's my roommate. We've been very close during our four years in university. She knows that I have a boyfriend, so she wants to see you. We haven't seen each other for a long time. She wants me to bring you with me. "
"Quancheng is a good place. I haven't been there for a long time. When is your classmate getting married? I have to ask for leave in advance. "Han Bin was now the squadron leader of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He needed to report in advance to leave the island.
"January 16th. Can you go?"
Han Bin counted with his fingers. There was still half a month left. He said, "It shouldn't be a problem. I should be able to finish the case in half a month. I will ask for leave in advance."
"Really?" Wang Ting showed a touch of joy. She had been resting at home for a long time.
Han Bin felt a little guilty. "I'll try my best."
Wang Ting snorted. "I knew you would be like this."
Han Bin was also a little helpless. His job and position was responsible for the people of Quancheng. He couldn't just leave as he pleased.
But then again, the steamed dumplings with beef and green onions were really delicious. Han Bin was very satisfied with this meal.
… …
The next morning.
Zhao Ming quickly walked to the squadron leader's office and knocked on the door. "Dong dong."
"Come in."
Zhao Ming pushed the door and walked in. "Captain Han, I'm here to report to you."
Han Bin handed him a cigarette and pointed to the sofa next to him. "Sit down."
Zhao Ming took out a lighter and lit Han Bin's cigarette for him. He then began to report, "Previously, you asked me to investigate the financial status of the people involved in the three cases. I have some clues."
"Go ahead."
Zhao Ming said, "Before and after Zhang Haonan was killed, there was a large flow of funds in Qin Yanxue's account. The first flow was on December 20th. There was a large expenditure of 50,000 yuan. The second was on December 27th. There was a large expenditure of 250,000 yuan. And Zhang Haonan was killed on December 26th. These two flows are very suspicious. "
Han Bin said, "Where did the funds go?"
"Both purchases were made from the same online shopping platform. The first time, she bought one item. The second time, she bought five items." As he spoke, Zhao Ming took out his laptop and opened a shopping platform called 'Buy Quick.'
Han Bin began to look at the computer. It was a shop that sold large machinery. The products were food processing machines. Each machine was worth 50,000 yuan. There were very few customers, but the value was relatively high.
"Did you find the owner of this shop?"
"Yes. This person is called Feng Yuanhua, a local of Qin Island. The address registered on his ID card is 103 Yaobin Road, Unit 2, Room 201. "
Han Bin said, "Qin Yanxue works in a cosmetics store. Logically speaking, there's no need for her to buy these machines. Moreover, the time of payment happened to be around the time of Zhang Haonan's death. It's indeed very suspicious."
Zhao Ming said, "I think so too. But she and Zhang Haonan are a couple. She even helped Zhang Haonan buy a house. I really didn't expect it to be her."
Han Bin reached out and patted Zhao Ming's shoulder. "You did a good job. These two people are very suspicious. Especially Feng Yuanhua, he's very likely to be the key to the case. "
Han Bin extinguished his cigarette and ordered, "I have a meeting in a moment. Go and inform Team Two to meet me in the conference room on the third floor in ten minutes."
"Yes." Zhao Ming responded and strode out of the office.
Han Bin packed up and left the office. He didn't go to the conference room immediately. Instead, he went to the captain's office to report the situation to Ding Xifeng. If Feng Yuanhua was really the key to the whole case like Han Bin had guessed, it wouldn't be easy to catch him.
Han Bin wanted to ask Ding Xifeng to help investigate this person …
