Han Bin said, "Do you want to leave on your own or do you want us to take you away?"
Xiao Guodong's face was full of helplessness. "I want to … say a few words to my wife before I leave."
"What do you want to say? I can help you convey it."
"It's nothing important. I just want to say hello. I'll go with you after that. I'm innocent. I'm not afraid."
Han Bin said to Zhao Ming, "Let them come down."
A moment later, Zhao Ming brought Li Qin and Zhao Wenyi down.
Zhao Wenyi walked to Xiao Guodong's side. "Guodong, did you make it clear?"
"Yes, but the police want to verify it. I'll go with them. You go home first. "
Zhao Wenyi was a little agitated. "Verify what? Didn't I make it clear?"
"They don't believe me."
"Ha …" Zhao Wenyi snorted. "You're Xiao Bingtian's brother. You two are so close. How could you kill him? What's there to investigate?"
"Honey, go home first. I'll probably go back tomorrow."
Zhao Wenyi glared at Han Bin and asked, "Officer Han, why are you arresting my husband? He's innocent. Aren't you accusing a good man?"
"Your husband lied to the police first. We're arresting him according to the law and handling the case according to procedure. We'll verify the matter as soon as possible. If Xiao Guodong is innocent, we'll naturally let him go. "
"That's easier said than done. You can't catch the real murderer, so you're using my husband as a scapegoat."
Li Qin scolded, "Zhao Wenyi, watch your words. If you continue to speak rudely and obstruct law enforcement, we can arrest you for obstructing law enforcement."
"Arrest me? Sure. Arrest me too if you can."
Zhao Ming scolded, "Zhao Wenyi, this is the first warning. Watch your words.
Xiao Guodong, if you're done talking, leave quickly. I really want to go to the police station to reunite with your wife. "
"Honey, listen to me and go home."
Zhao Wenyi was so angry that she looked a little breathless. She took a deep breath and sat down on the chair.
"Honey, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself."
Zhao Wenyi didn't answer and just sobbed quietly.
"Ai …" Xiao Guodong sighed and reluctantly left the restaurant.
Zhao Ming said, "Xiao Guodong, don't make it sound like you're going to die. It'll make you look guilty. If you really have a clear conscience, the police will naturally let you go after a thorough investigation. "
Xiao Guodong glanced at Zhao Ming and didn't answer. He lowered his head and got into the police car.
Obviously, Zhao Ming's words did not resonate with him.
Xiao Guodong was taken away, leaving only Han Bin, Li Qin, Ma Jiaoxu, and Zhao Wenyi in the restaurant.
"Zhao Wenyi, we would like to ask you to make a statement. We hope you can assist us."
Zhao Wenyi's voice was hoarse. "Our family has been tortured so badly, and you still want to arrest me?"
Li Qin said, "Zhao Wenyi, don't put up any resistance. The reason why the police are giving you a statement is to verify your husband's testimony. As long as your husband's case is investigated thoroughly, your family will naturally be reunited."
Zhao Wenyi was silent for a moment. "Ask away. Even if I don't agree, you won't leave."
Han Bin went straight to the point. "How is the relationship between Xiao Bingtian and Xiao Guodong?"
"Although the brothers live in different cities and don't see each other often, they have always been in contact. Their relationship is very good, and there are no conflicts."
"Why did Xiao Guodong go to Bai Cui District yesterday afternoon?"
"Xiao Bingtian called my husband to go."
"What for?"
"To get money. The restaurant's business isn't very good, and it's a little tight. My brother took the initiative to lend us money and asked Guodong to go and get it. "
"How do you know about this?"
"Guodong was busy in the kitchen and didn't receive my brother's call. Later, my brother called me."
"When did Xiao Guodong go to Bai Cui District?"
"I don't remember. After the restaurant's business was done, he had a meeting with the staff. He should have left around four."
"How much money did Xiao Bingtian give you?"
"Sigh … My husband is a prideful person, and he doesn't like to borrow money from others. Although my brother meant well, he still didn't accept the money."
"When did Xiao Guodong return to the restaurant?"
"I don't know. I wasn't in the restaurant at that time. I went home."
"Did Xiao Bingtian say that he's coming to eat at your restaurant recently?"
"No."
"What do you think about Xiao Bingtian's death?"
"Sigh, it's quite a pity. My brother is a good person, but who would've thought that he would die just like that."
"As far as you know, does Xiao Bingtian have any enemies?"
"I'm not very sure about that … My brother stays in Chang 'an City for a long time and rarely returns to Qin Island. He shouldn't have any enemies there, and even if he does, they should be in Chang' an City."
Han Bin took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her. "This is my business card. If you think of any clues, you can contact me."
Zhao Wenyi glanced at the business card. "Captain Han, when will my husband be released?"
"The police will naturally release him once they finish investigating. Just wait for the news." Han Bin finished speaking and left the restaurant with his men.
It was already eight o 'clock at night when they returned to the police station. After arranging for the suspects to be detained, Han Bin told his team members to go home and rest.
…
The next morning.
When they arrived at the police station, Han Bin held a case summary meeting.
In order not to delay the investigation, the meeting was relatively short.
Han Bin said loudly, "Let me first talk about yesterday's investigation. We made a new statement for Xiao Guodong. Xiao Guodong admitted to going to Bai Cui, but he didn't admit to killing Xiao Bingtian. According to him, Xiao Bingtian took the initiative to ask him to go, and as for the reason, it involved a large amount of cash.
Xiao Guodong's shop's business wasn't doing too well, and he had a cash flow problem. Xiao Bingtian took the initiative to lend money to his brother, and that day he called him to get the money. Xiao Guodong went to Bai Cui and explained it to Xiao Bingtian, but he didn't take the 80,000 yuan. "
Han Bin changed the topic. "Let's assume that what Xiao Guodong said was true, that there really was 80,000 yuan, and that the money wasn't found at the crime scene. Then there's another possibility for Xiao Bingtian's death. Could someone be greedy for the 80,000 yuan and killed Xiao Bingtian?
This is a clue, and there's another clue that Xiao Guodong took the initiative to provide.
Xiao Bingtian worked in an auction house in Chang 'an City, and during his work, he had a conflict with a guest of the auction house. That guest even beat Xiao Bingtian up. This clue reminded me of something.
Xiao Bingtian has been living and working in Chang 'an City, and the time he spent in Qindao can be counted on one hand. Could the murderer be his enemy in Chang' an City? "
Zhu Jiaxu said, "Captain Han's idea provides a new direction for the investigation. I think it's possible. With the development of the Internet, the murderers are getting more and more cunning. Making enemies locally and killing people in other places will make it very difficult for the police to investigate. Take the current situation for example. Xiao Bingtian has been working and living in Chang 'an City, and he returned to Qindao less than half a month ago. Our understanding of him is limited to this half a month. We don't know his work or his circle of friends, so it's very difficult to investigate. Qindao is thousands of miles away from Chang 'an City. "
Han Bin said, "The long distance can't be used as an excuse to investigate the case. We still have to figure out Xiao Bingtian's situation in Chang 'an City. I'll discuss this with the captain and make specific arrangements.
Wang Xiao, I'll leave the clues of the large amount of cash to you. "
"Yes."
After Han Bin finished arranging, he glanced at everyone. "Who else wants to report?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Shungu raised his hand and said, "Captain Han, I want to report the clues of the deceased's mobile phone."
"Speak."
"There's a woman surnamed Song among the deceased's contacts. She's 42 years old, and she's about the same age as the deceased. The two of them talked on the day the deceased was killed. During the time of the crime, she also called the deceased's mobile phone, but the phone didn't connect." Zhang Shungu paused and continued, "I've seen the statement you made for Xiao Guodong. Xiao Bingtian has an ex-girlfriend surnamed Song. Although it's not confirmed yet, the age and name match."
"What's her full name?"
