Han Bin called Zeng Ping to the side. "Captain Zeng, the one in the sunglasses is my informant."
"Why is your informant at Qianhao Hotel?" Zeng Ping frowned.
"My informant asked him to keep an eye on Tang Yu and Xiang Hongbo."
"Can he be trusted?"
"Yes."
"Contact him and ask him about the situation."
"Yes."
Zeng Ping thought for a moment and walked to Sun Jianyi. "Captain Sun, this theft may be related to the female corpses case. If possible, we would like to take this case."
Sun Jianyi hesitated and said, "I have no problem with this, and I am willing to cooperate with the criminal police team, but I have to report to the chief first."
"Of course." Zeng Ping nodded.
…
Han Bin walked to the side and called Chen San. "Hello, where are you?"
"Brother Bin, did something happen at the hotel?"
"How did you know?"
"I've been following the two of them. I saw them pick up a phone, then they hurriedly took a taxi to the direction of the hotel. The man was still cursing."
"You're right. Something did happen at the hotel. We'll talk when you come back."
"Okay, see you later."
Han Bin hung up and walked to Zeng Ping. "Captain Zeng, I got in touch with him. I'll meet him later."
Zeng Ping nodded. "I mentioned it to Captain Sun. Our team will take this theft case."
"Captain Zeng, sorry for the trouble." Han Bin smiled bitterly.
Zeng Ping punched Han Bin's chest. "You don't have to be so polite."
"Captain Zeng, I have a suggestion."
"Speak."
"Since we're taking this case, when Tang Yu and Xiang Hongbo come back, we won't let them inspect the crime scene. Instead, we'll take them away to give their statements. Maybe we can get some valuable clues," Han Bin suggested.
"Sure." Zeng Ping asked, "Who do you want to pick?"
"Xiang Hongbo."
"I thought you were going to pick a beauty." Zeng Ping laughed.
"This beauty isn't easy to deal with. I'll leave her to you." Han Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Before Han Bin's micro-expression analysis reached Advanced or Pro, it would be difficult for him to see through Tang Yu's true emotions.
Not long after, Xiang Hongbo and Tang Yu rushed over. The sweat on Tang Yu's forehead had blurred her eyeliner.
Han Bin and Zeng Ping stopped the two of them and brought them to two different rooms in the hotel for their statements.
Han Bin and Li Hui were responsible for taking down Xiang Hongbo's statement.
Han Bin turned on the law enforcement recorder and asked a few routine questions before getting to the point.
"Xiang Hongbo, where did you go this morning?"
"Officer Han, does this have anything to do with the theft?" Xiang Hongbo asked.
"Of course it's related. It was because you left the room that the thief took the opportunity. Maybe the thief deliberately lured you out." Han Bin said seriously.
"Answer my question."
"We went out to meet a friend."
"What friend?"
"A local friend from Qingdao."
"What's his name?"
Xiang Hongbo twisted his hands together. He and Tang Yu came back in a hurry, so they didn't have the same story. He wanted to lie, but he was afraid that Tang Yu would say something different.
"Is the theft related to your friend?" Han Bin asked.
"No, no, it's not related."
"Then why didn't you say it?"
"Luo Xinghua. My friend's name is Luo Xinghua."
"What did you do?"
"Some private matters. It has nothing to do with the theft," Xiang Hongbo said perfunctorily.
"When did you know that the room was stolen?"
"Not long ago, the police called and said that room 405 was stolen. From the surveillance, we found that the thief also went to room 406, so we came back in a hurry."
"What valuables are in your room?"
"Nothing valuable."
"Think, for example, cell phones, computers, jewelry, etc.?" Han Bin probed.
Xiang Hongbo's eyes flickered, and he shook his head, "I can't remember."
"What's in the safe?"
"Officer Han, why don't you let me go back to the room first? I haven't checked the room yet, and I don't know what I lost," Xiang Hongbo said.
"Is there anything you don't know?" Han Bin asked.
"I … I really can't remember." Xiang Hongbo wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm.
"When you left the hotel, did you see any suspicious people?" Han Bin asked.
"No."
"Is there anyone suspicious?"
"No suspicious people," Xiang Hongbo repeated.
"Do you think Luo Xinghua is suspicious?"
"I don't think he's suspicious." Xiang Hongbo glanced to the right.
Han Bin smiled. Xiang Hongbo wasn't Tang Yu, and he couldn't control his emotions.
"Didn't you want to go back to the room? Go."
"Thank you, Officer Han." Xiang Hongbo got up and walked to the room quickly.
Han Bin had been following behind him. He found that the first thing he did when he returned to the room was to check the safe. He rummaged through it, and his face showed a look of disappointment and anger.
"What's missing?" Han Bin asked lightly.
"Uh." Xiang Hongbo was shocked. He turned to look at Han Bin behind him and said perfunctorily, "I think I lost some cash."
"Is there anything else?"
"I'm a person who panics when something happens. Once I panic, I forget everything," Xiang Hongbo said with his head lowered.
"Call me if you remember anything."
"Okay, okay."
Han Bin walked out of the room and found that Zeng Ping and Tang Yu also came out. Tang Yu nodded and hurried back to the room.
"How was the interrogation?"
Han Bin shrugged his shoulders and said, "He won't say anything."
"It's the same for me. This woman is very slippery. I asked her where she went, and she said she followed Xiang Hongbo to meet a friend. I asked her what the friend's name was, and she said it was Xiang Hongbo's friend. She wasn't familiar with him and didn't know his name." Zeng Ping snorted.
"I just asked Xiang Hongbo. The person they went to meet was Luo Xinghua, and I deliberately tested him. Luo Xinghua is likely to be related to the theft case," Han Bin guessed.
"This is interesting." Zeng Ping touched his chin. "They have internal strife, which is a good thing for us."
"Hum …" Han Bin's phone rang.
Han Bin checked WeChat. "My informant is here."
"Let's go. I want to get to know him," Zeng Ping said.
Chen San was already involved in the case. Zeng Ping couldn't pretend that he didn't know.
"I'll tell him first."
"Go."
Han Bin walked to the side and dialed Chen San's number. "Where are you now?"
"Just outside the hotel," Chen San answered and asked curiously, "Brother Bin, what happened in the hotel?"
"That's what I want to ask you," Han Bin asked back.
"I don't know how to split myself. I followed the two people outside. How would I know what happened in the hotel?"
"There was a theft case in the hotel. The person in charge went to the nearby police station and reported it. The police found two suspects, and you are one of them," Han Bin said.
"Brother Bin, don't joke. I didn't do anything," Chen San hurriedly explained.
"Of course I believe you, and I've already reported it to our captain. Captain Zeng takes good care of me and directly took over the theft case. You can personally report to him about the stalking situation and explain things clearly," Han Bin said.
"Aiyo, I was scared to death. Fortunately, Brother Bin is protecting me." Chen San let out a long sigh of relief.
"Kid, don't run your mouth when you see our captain," Han Bin said.
"Of course not."
Chen San smiled. "Brother Bin, about the informant's fee, can I mention it to Captain Zeng?"
Han Bin: "…"
