After a while, Zhao Wenyi calmed down a little and choked, "Captain Han, thank you. Thank you for letting me know all this.
With his love accompanying me, even if I die, it's worth it! "
…
After Han Bin left the interrogation room, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Although Zhao Wenyi had confessed, he couldn't be happy.
This pair of people who truly loved each other were really pitiful.
Some love was destined to be rejected by the world.
Zhao Wenyi confessed exactly what happened and the case entered the closing stage.
In the afternoon, Han Bin took Zhao Wenyi back to Bai Cui to identify the crime scene.
As soon as he returned to the office, he received a report from Huang Qianqian that Xiao Guodong wanted to see him.
The interrogation of Xiao Guodong never stopped. He insisted that Zhao Wenyi didn't kill anyone and said that Xiao Bingtian wasn't dead when he went to Xiao Bingtian's house.
Zhu Jiaxu also told him that Zhao Wenyi had confessed and that it was meaningless for him to cover up, but he still refused to change his words.
It had to be said that he was also an infatuated person.
Han Bin also wanted to pry open his mouth as soon as possible. Although he wasn't directly involved in the case, he had a certain indirect relationship with it. He also needed to close the case.
In the third interrogation room.
Perhaps it was Han Bin's illusion, but when he saw Xiao Guodong again, he felt that he had a lot more white hair.
As soon as he saw Han Bin, Xiao Guodong couldn't wait to say, "Captain Han, I want to see my wife."
Han Bin leaned against the interrogation table. "Do you think that's possible?"
"As long as I see Rongrong, I'll tell the truth."
"Zhao Wenyi has already admitted to killing Xiao Bingtian. If there's no legitimate reason or work needs, the police can't easily interrogate her, let alone you."
Xiao Guodong shouted, "Rongrong can't kill anyone. I don't believe it!"
"103 Meixin Road, warehouse 28. Is your family renting it? "
"We found two bloody clothes in the warehouse. After identification, they both had your brother's blood on them. Zhao Wenyi took the initiative to confess. Think about it yourself. After January 31st, did you ever see Zhao Wenyi wearing the same clothes again? "
Xiao Guodong's expression changed again. "I … I really want to see her."
"As long as you tell the truth, you'll have plenty of opportunities to see her in the future."
"Captain Han, will my wife be sentenced to death?"
"I don't have the final say on this. However, her attitude towards admitting her guilt is better. I will try my best to help her get a reprieve. Her situation has already been explained, but it doesn't match with your confession, which means that one of you is lying. This situation is very disadvantageous to Zhao Wenyi, and it will also affect her commutation policy. "
Xiao Guodong understood what Han Bin meant and confirmed again, "Captain Han, Wen Yi really confessed. You didn't lie to me, right?"
Han Bin smiled. "What's the point of lying to you? How much influence do you think your testimony will have on this case? The only thing that can convict Zhao Wenyi are the two bloody clothes she wore when she killed him. "
Xiao Guodong sighed. "Captain Han, I'm willing to assist you in your investigation. I know I'm in the wrong, and I don't expect you to reduce my sentence. I just hope that you can help my wife fight for a reduced sentence."
"I can promise you that."
"Thank you. Please ask away. I will definitely answer truthfully."
Han Bin opened the notebook and asked, "Do you have anything to do with Xiao Bingtian's death?"
"No, he's my brother. How could I kill him?"
"When you arrived at Bai Cui Neighbourhood, was Xiao Bingtian still alive?"
Xiao Guodong thought about it. "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I … didn't go upstairs at all, and I didn't see my brother."
"You stayed at Bai Cui Neighbourhood for thirty minutes and didn't go upstairs. What were you doing?"
"I was sitting in the car."
"Why didn't you go upstairs?"
"I didn't dare."
"What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Guodong was silent for a long time. "I only found out that Wen Yi went to Bai Cui Neighbourhood after I finished my work. I called her, but she didn't pick up. I called my brother, but he didn't pick up either. I was worried, so I went to Bai Cui Neighbourhood. But when I got downstairs … I was a little hesitant. I was afraid that if I went upstairs …
Sigh … What is this? I was obviously lied to, but I don't dare to face it. "
Han Bin understood what he meant. "You know that Xiao Bingtian and Zhao Wenyi love each other?"
"Yes, I know."
"When did you find out?"
"It's a long story. The two of them had a tacit understanding, so much so that it made me jealous. When the three of us were together, I even felt that I was the third wheel. As time went by, I felt different. But I didn't have the courage to expose it, because I didn't know how to face it, and I was even more afraid of losing Wen Yi.
At first, I resented my brother a little. Later, my brother went to Chang 'an City and rarely returned to Qin Island. Then, I gradually understood my brother's good intentions. I could feel that the two of them really loved each other, but I also loved Wen Yi deeply. I couldn't give up my feelings for her, so I could only pretend that I didn't know. "
Xiao Guodong continued, "When I saw my brother die, my heart was very complicated. I was very painful. He was my only family, and I cared about him very much. But I also felt a little relieved. This relationship that couldn't see the light of day could finally be put to an end.
At first, I didn't think that Wen Yi would kill my brother, and she never admitted it. I just instinctively wanted to protect her. I had already lost a family member, and I didn't want to lose another one.
Captain Han, do you think I did something wrong? "
"What do you mean?"
"Should I have let go a long time ago and let them be? Maybe it would have been better for all three of us, and we wouldn't have ended up like this. "
"There are no maybes in this world. Even if they were really together, they might not be happy, and they might encounter other difficulties."
"You're right, there's no solution at all." Xiao Guodong smiled bitterly and looked up. "God, why did you do this to me, making us brothers fall in love with the same woman …"
…
Half an hour later, Han Bin left the interrogation room.
Xiao Guodong didn't go to the crime scene, and his direct relationship with the case was only his identity as the informant.
However, because he was suspected of covering up for Zhao Wenyi and deceiving the police, he would also be punished by the law.
In the next few days, the main task of Second Squad was to close the case.
After several days of overtime work, the case was finally closed on February 9th.
On February 10th, the Criminal Investigation Unit held a year-end report and summary meeting.
After the meeting, except for the team members on duty, everyone else was on holiday for the New Year.
…
February 11th, New Year's Eve.
Han Bin slept in and didn't wake up until he smelled the aroma of food.
Wang Ting had already prepared breakfast.
Seeing Han Bin wake up, Wang Ting said, "Hurry up and wash up and eat. Put up the couplets later."
Han Bin stretched. "I would've forgotten if you didn't mention it. It's New Year's Eve this year."
Han Bin pulled himself together. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, and he had a busy day.
Breakfast was simple: bread, fried eggs, milk, bacon, tomato slices, and apples.
After dinner, Han Bin put up the couplets on the door and drove Wang Ting home.
Although their relationship was stable, they weren't married yet, so Wang Ting still had to go home for the New Year.
Out of courtesy and respect for Wang Ting's parents, Han Bin also bought some New Year's goodies to visit Wang Ting's parents.
At ten o 'clock in the morning, Han Bin and Wang Ting arrived at Wang Ting's parents' house.
Wang Ting's mother was busy in the kitchen, and Wang Ting's father was also busy helping her out.
Auntie Chen also had to go home for the New Year. During the New Year, Wang Ting's mother, Song Min, was in charge of cooking, while Wang Ting's father and Wang Ting helped.
Song Min opened the door and smiled. "You're here. Come in quickly."
Han Bin said, "Uncle and Auntie, I'm here to wish you a happy New Year."
Wang Ting's father, Wang Yan, said, "It's good that you're here. There's no need to bring gifts."
"It's the New Year. There aren't many gifts, just a little token of appreciation." Han Bin brought a box of Maotai, two boxes of tea leaves, and some nourishing tonics.
Although there weren't many gifts, they were still presentable.
Han Bin's arrival also freed Wang Yan. He had long since wanted to be a helper in the kitchen.
This wasn't a problem of whether it was hard or not, but being ordered around by his own wife and being scolded from time to time was not a good job.
Wang Yan called Han Bin to the living room to drink tea and chat.
Wang Ting went to the kitchen to be a helper.
Han Bin picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Wang Yan. "Uncle, do you have anything on this afternoon? If not, let's have a drink together in the afternoon. "
"It's the New Year, what can I have to do? I'm just having a drink." Wang Yan smiled. At his age, it was a good thing to be able to find a good reason to drink.
"Oh yeah, how's your work recently? Is it going well?"
"I just finished a case the day before yesterday. It's going well. Fortunately, it was closed before the New Year. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to have a peaceful New Year. "
"That's true. It's tough being a police officer. It's because of your hard work that the people can have a peaceful New Year."
Han Bin smiled. "Uncle, I've been so busy recently that I didn't have the time to visit you. After lunch, let's play a few games of Go. I haven't played in a while and I miss it."
Wang Yan looked at his watch. "It's only ten something. It's still early for lunch. What are we waiting for? Let's go and play two games now."
With that, the two of them carried the teapot to the sunroom outside.
This was Wang Yan's little world. He could play Go, drink tea, and smoke here without worrying about being scolded by Song Min.
Han Bin hadn't learned to play Go for a long time, but he quite liked to play Go. When he was tired from investigating cases, playing Go was a good way to refresh his mind.
Go and investigating cases were similar in that they both needed to use one's mind. Han Bin's Go skills improved very quickly. When Wang Ting played with him, she lost more often than she won.
The two of them were very engrossed in playing Go and they played for more than an hour.
"Dad, Han Bin, it's time to eat." Wang Ting's greeting interrupted their thoughts.
Wang Yan still wanted to continue, but when he thought of his wife, he tactfully paused. He stretched and said, "Let's go. Let's go eat first. Let's leave this game here for now. We'll continue after we finish eating."
Han Bin got up and walked into the house. Wang Ting was a step behind and said softly, "Han Bin, drink less today. It's the New Year. Don't get my dad drunk again."
Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When it came to drinking, Wang Yan might be unhappy if he didn't drink to his heart's content. But if he drank too much, Wang Ting and her mother would be unhappy. He had to drink well, but he had to drink less. It wasn't easy to control the degree.
Song Min and Wang Ting made a total of six dishes and one soup. Steamed fish, garlic lobster, stir-fried white fungus, stir-fried oats, stewed lamb chops, and white cut chicken. The main dish was squid stuffed dumplings.
These were Song Min's specialty dishes. The taste was more homely and lighter than the restaurant's. It had a different flavor when eaten.
In addition, Han Bin liked the squid stuffed dumplings the most. They were fresh and delicious with thin skin and big stuffing. They were absolutely delicious.
Wang Yan and Han Bin opened a bottle of Maotai. Song Min also drank two cups. After drinking, both of them were a little tipsy. Looking at Wang Yan's expression, it seemed like he wanted to open another bottle. However, he was stopped by Song Min's gaze.
Han Bin pretended not to see it. He lowered his head and ate the dumplings. He ate two plates of dumplings alone.
After drinking, Wang Yan took Han Bin to play the previous Go game. However, Wang Yan's drunkenness gradually came up, and he yawned from time to time. After finishing the Go game, Wang Yan went to sleep with the drunkenness.
Han Bin also returned to his home and slept for a while.
It had to be said that drinking wine and sleeping was a rare and wonderful thing.
After waking up, Han Bin went downstairs to his parents' house. Today was New Year's Eve. He had to accompany his grandfather, father, and uncle for a drink.
It was reasonable to say that Wang Qingsheng shouldn't come on New Year's Eve. However, there was no other way. Han Bin's grandfather and mother passed away early. Wang Qingsheng wasn't married. He usually lived alone. Other people's houses were lively during the New Year's. He was the only one left to spend New Year's Eve. It was too miserable.
Therefore, Wang Qingsheng would come to Han Bin's house on New Year's Eve. It was a new era now. There weren't so many rules. It was good to be lively.
In the evening, the family made a few dishes with wine, a pot of tea, two bottles of wine, and sat around the coffee table to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Compared with previous years, the current Spring Festival Gala was more symbolic. It had lost some of its original flavor. Many people didn't praise it after watching it. Instead, they complained.
Take Han Bin for example. He basically didn't watch the dance programs of the Spring Festival Gala. He was a layman and couldn't appreciate it.
He preferred language programs, such as skits and crosstalk.
However, the skits had changed in recent years. Not to mention the popular Uncle Benshan and Happy Fried Dough Twist, the only thing that stood out was Little Yueyue's crosstalk.
Skits were originally programs that made people happy and laugh. Now, at the end, they were either emotional, trying to make people cry, or preaching.
Brother, I watch the Spring Festival Gala for fun. I just want to laugh. Why do you have to be so elegant?
If you want to be emotional and preach, why don't you watch legal programs? They aren't as professional as you.
In short, Han Bin also felt that the Spring Festival Gala had changed. He wanted to watch programs that made people laugh from beginning to end. He was already tired from his daily life. Wouldn't it be better to laugh to his heart's content during the New Year?
Although the Spring Festival Gala wasn't exciting, Han Bin's family still finished watching it. It was more like background music. The family sat together, drank tea, and chatted. It was a lively scene.
The New Year was actually a time for the family to reunite. They wished for peace, health, and contentment!
At midnight, as the New Year's bell rang, 2021 arrived …
