It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when I left the Huijiayuan community.

Everyone hadn't eaten lunch yet, and at Zhao Ming's suggestion, they went to a time-honored restaurant nearby, Gu Fenglou.

This restaurant specializes in Lu cuisine, and the chef is also from Laoqin Island, according to Zhao Ming, the taste of the dishes is very authentic.

Zhao Ming shouted to treat him, and ordered a few signature dishes, green onion mixed with eight belts, spicy fat sausage, soft fried hand-peeled shrimp, stewed lamb, crispy dumplings, and winter melon ball soup.

Zhao Ming is a master who is not short of money, he wants to treat him, and everyone is not polite to him.

Han Bin tasted it, and the dishes here were indeed very authentic.

Especially the spicy fat sausage, it is very clean, it tastes very chewy, numb and spicy, and the aftertaste is endless, if it is accompanied by a glass of draft beer, it will be perfect.

It's a pity that it's now a mission and you can't drink alcohol.

After the meal, Han Bin and the four of them were divided into two groups, Zhao Ming and Tian Li returned to the Yuhua Branch and sent the evidence collected from Lu Jingfang's house to the technical team.

Han Bin and Bao Xing rushed to Beauty Media Company.

The seventh floor of Feng'an Building.

Han Bin and the others got off the elevator, walked east along the elevator, and saw the brand of Beauty Media Company.

The two entered the company, the front desk was on the left, a young woman was sitting behind the counter, and a middle-aged man was standing next to him, holding the counter with his right hand, chatting with the woman in a low voice.

Bao Xing walked over and knocked on the counter, "Hello, is Mr. Chen Xihai here?"

The woman behind the counter didn't speak, but turned her head to look at the man next to her.

"I am Chen Xihai. The man replied and looked at Han Bin and Bao Xing.

Bao Xing showed his police officer ID, "We are from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade and want to know something about the situation with you." ”

"Okay, two police officers, please. Chen Xihai took a deep breath, made a gesture of please, and led Han Bin and the two to go inside.

Han Bin looked at the surrounding office environment, unlike the offices of other companies, they are all independent partition rooms, different from ordinary partitions, the walls are very thick, and the material looks like sound insulation materials.

The three of them entered the conference room, and Chen Xihai said with a smile, "Two police officers, please sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

Han Bin waved his hand, "Don't bother." ”

As soon as he entered the door, he met the person he was looking for, Han Bin felt a little clever and asked, "Mr. Chen, can you take a look at your ID card?"

"Yes. Chen Xihai took out his wallet from his pocket, took out his ID card and handed it to Han Bin.

Han Bin glanced at it, "Chen Shifeng." ”

"Yes, that's my real name. ”

"What is your position in this company?"

"General Manager. ”

Han Bin returned his ID card to the other party, "It's the first time I've heard that I use a stage name as a general manager." ”

"Our company is a media company, a bit like an artist, it's different from other companies, most of the employees have stage names, so I took one. Chen Xihai smiled and continued,

"Actually, I've always been dissatisfied with my name, and I've wanted to change my name for a long time, but my parents took the name, and it's not good to change it, so I'll take a stage name and compromise it. ”

"Mr. Chen Shifeng, do you know the purpose of our coming to you today?"

Chen Shifeng shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"Do you know Lu Jingfang?"

"Yes, she's an employee of our company, what's wrong?"

"When was the last time you saw Lu Jingfang?"

"It's been a few days, and I don't remember it very well. ”

"Isn't she an employee of your company?

"The work content of our media company is different from that of other companies, we mainly shoot some movies, TV series, short videos, live broadcasts, etc., because the content of the shooting is different, the shooting environment is different, and the place of work is not the same. ”

"What does she do?"

"Shoot a short video and send it to the company's editors, who edit, review, and upload it to the video website. ”

Han Bin said, "In other words, Lu Jingfang is only responsible for shooting videos, and your company is responsible for the post-production work." ”

"Yes, in addition to processing the video itself, we will also communicate with the video website to obtain some channels and publicity, so that more people can see the video and get more fans. ”

"How long has Lu Jingfang been in your company?"

Chen Xihai thought for a while, "It's been more than two months, she started doing live broadcasts, but she couldn't let go of it, and she didn't have any talent, we pulled some resources for her on another live broadcast website, but she never did it." Later, she started making small videos, and it has been more than a month, and the number of clicks and fans has grown rapidly, which is not bad. ”

After speaking, Chen Xihai looked at Han Bin again and asked rhetorically, "Comrade policeman, what are you doing here today?"

"Lu Jingfang is dead. ”

"What!" Chen Xihai stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, "You said Lu Jingfang is dead." ”

Han Bin kept staring at each other, although Chen Xihai was surprised by his actions and demeanor, his micro-expression did not show the slightest surprise.

Han Bin was sure that his surprised expression was faked.

He was not surprised, indicating that he had known about it beforehand.

Either he learned in advance from other sources, or he was the murderer!

"Don't you know?"

Chen Xihai said without hesitation, "How can I know that what you said is true?"

Han Bin turned his head to Bao Xing on the side and said, "Search him." ”

Bao Xing stood up and walked to Chen Xihai's side, "Mr. Chen, please cooperate." ”

"Comrade policeman, what do you mean by that?"

Han Bin also stood up, showing a wary look, "I suspect that you have dangerous items on you, please cooperate." ”

"I didn't, are you mistaken? ”

"Then you should cooperate with us, and we can give you back your innocence. ”

Chen Xihai swallowed his saliva and hesitated, "Okay, then you can search it." ”

Bao Xing made a gesture of please, "Mr. Chen, please stand up, thank you." ”

Chen Xihai sighed and stood up according to Bao Xing's request.

Bao Xing carefully searched Chen Xihai according to the procedure, and nodded to Han Bin on the side, "The team leader didn't find it." ”

Han Bin showed an apologetic expression, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I felt a little min just now." ”

"Comrade policeman, how can you suddenly suspect that I am carrying dangerous goods, I am a law-abiding citizen and would never carry such things. ”

"If you are a law-abiding citizen, why deceive the police?"

Chen Xihaiqiang squeezed out a smile, "I don't, how dare I lie to the police." ”

"If you don't want to talk about it here, you'll have to change places. ”

Chen Xihai showed a vigilant look, "What do you mean by this?"

Han Bin said, "Mr. Chen, please come with us to the police station." ”

Chen Xihai hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't don't, what are you going to do at the police station this way, haven't I already cooperated with your investigation." ”

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense, are you embarrassed to say cooperation?"

"Comrade policeman, when did I lie to you, why don't I know, you remind me that maybe it was my mistake. ”

"Okay, then I'll ask you again, did you already know about Lu Jingfang's death before we came?"

"I ......" Chen Xihai wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Eh, I thought it was a big deal, you searched me because of this." ”

"Bang!" Bao Xing slapped his face and scolded, "What's the big deal, except for the known people involved, only one person knows that Lu Jingfang is dead, and that is the murderer!"

Bao Xing's shout almost scared Chen Xihai to pee, and he couldn't say anything, "I'...... I...... How could it be a murderer, I'm not, no. ”

"It's not the murderer, how do you know that Lu Jingfang is dead?"

"I've heard it. ”

"Listen to whom?"

"Zhang Lixin, it was Zhang Lixin who told me, saying that you went to the dormitory to find her, and that Lu Jingfang was dead. I didn't believe it at first, but when she said that she had seen Lu Jingfang's posthumous photo, I was skeptical. Seeing that you guys are really here, I'm sure she's telling the truth. ”

"Since you already know about Lu Jingfang's death from Zhang Lixin, why do you have to say that you don't know and lie to deceive the police?"

"I ...... I ......" Chen Xihai hesitated and gritted his teeth, "It was Zhang Lixin who said it, she didn't want you to know that she told the secret." ”

"Hmph. Han Bin snorted, "It's obviously a very simple matter, why make it so complicated." ”

"Okay now, we still have to confront Zhang Lixin, if she admits it. If she doesn't admit it, then you'll have to go with us. ”

"Eh, comrade policeman, how did I know that you have a sharp eye, you can see it at a glance, if I knew, I wouldn't lie if I was killed. ”

"This Zhang Lixin, isn't this harming me. ”

Han Bin stiffened his face and scolded, "Okay, you are such a big person, you don't have an opinion, I'm embarrassed to blame others." ”

Chen Xihai swore and said, "Comrade policeman, I know it's wrong, I'm really wronged, I'm not a murderer, I really heard it from Zhang Lixin." ”

"You say yes, how do you prove it, if you can't prove it, we can only treat you as a suspect. ”

"I'm ......" Chen Xihai picked up the mobile phone on the table and clicked on the communication record, "You see this is a phone call record from her, this is not fake." ”

"It only means that she called you, but it doesn't prove what she told you. ”

"What then?"

"Did Zhang Lixin say that we were going over?"

She just said, you may come to me, and I don't want too many people to know that this matter affects the stability of the company, so I ran to the front desk and waited. ”

Han Bin thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you call her back in a while, and you can say whatever I tell you to say, and don't say a single extra word." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you. ”

Han Bin took out his notebook and wrote on it.

After finishing writing, he tore off the page and put it in front of Chen Xihai, "Read it as it is, don't say a single superfluous word." ”

"Yes. Chen Xihai took a deep breath, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Lixin's mobile phone number.

After a while, a woman's voice rang on the phone, "Hey, Mr. Chen, you are looking for me." ”

"Xiao Zhang, didn't you say that the police would come later?"

"Why didn't you come after waiting so long? ”

The voice on the phone was very similar to Zhang Lixin's, "I don't know, they left around one o'clock, they just asked about you, whether they will go to you, I can't guarantee it." ”

"The police really told you that Lu Jingfang is dead. ”

"It's true, how could I lie to you, they also let me see the photos of Lu Jingfang after her death, but they frightened me. ”

"Who did you tell about Lu Jingfang's death?"

"I'll tell you about one person, and I didn't say anything but you. ”

"How many cops did they go to?"

"Three men and one woman, all of them are not very old, and the surname of the leader is Han, and he looks very energetic. ”

"I see, don't tell anyone about this anymore. ”

"Okay, I see, I won't say anything but you. Zhang Lixin swore and added, "Mr. Chen, if the police ask, don't say that I told you, the police told me not to tell anyone, especially you." ”

"I see. After Chen Xihai finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Bao Xing sneered, "Okay, you all take the police for fools." ”

"Comrade policeman, it's really nothing, Zhang Lixin just wants to sell me a good one. Chen Xihai explained and continued, "You heard the phone call just now, this should prove my innocence." ”

"I'm not going to believe you, and you need to have a written testimony according to the procedure. ”

"Comrade policeman, what do you mean?"

"In this way, you inform Zhang Lixin to go to the Third Squadron of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Yuhua Branch to make a record, and tell the truth about the situation, you can prove your innocence. ”

"This ......," Chen Xihai was a little embarrassed, "Comrade policeman, can't you comrade him? Why did you let me know." ”

Han Bin smiled, "Don't, I speak, how can Mr. Chen speak best, people still listen to you." ”

"Didn't she know what I told you about, and how awkward it would be for the two of us to meet after that. ”

"You can also not notify, she will not go to the police station to make a record, I believe you the same, but I dare not guarantee the other police officers, without this written evidence, maybe one day another police officer will come to investigate you." ”

"Don't, I listen to you, I'll inform her in a moment, and I'll let her go to the police station as soon as possible to take notes. “

Han Bin sighed, "Tell me, there was nothing to do, but I have to do something." ”

Zhang Lixin can be said to be one in front of her and one on the back, she also asked Han Bin not to tell Chen Xihai that she had made a record with the police.

Well, the police were sold in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Han Bin was a little unhappy in his heart, because Zhang Lixin's behavior would cause some trouble to the police.

Even if it is proved through telephone communication, Zhang Lixin did tell Chen Xihai about Lu Jingfang's killing, but it does not mean that Chen Xihai did not know in advance.

Assuming that Chen Xihai was really the murderer, he already knew about Lu Jingfang's death, and he would definitely not be too surprised to hear it again, Han Bin could tell that he was lying through his feigned surprise.

The problem is that Zhang Lixin called Chen Xihai smartly, which is equivalent to giving Chen Xihai an excuse and a channel to learn the news of Lu Jingfang's death.

Although it is hypothetical, this suspicion cannot be completely ruled out, so Han Bin was not in a good mood at this time, when he left the Huijiayuan community, he clearly told Zhang Lixin not to tell anyone about it, obviously, Zhang Lixin took his words as a deaf ear.

"Mr. Chen, since you already know about Lu Jingfang's death, let's get straight to the point, I need to ask a few questions routinely. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Whatever I ask, you just have to answer truthfully. Han Bin organized his language and asked, "The night before yesterday, where were you between half past nine and half past one in the morning?"

"The night before yesterday. Chen Xihai muttered and recalled, "I was drinking outside with my friends, and I started drinking at half past eight, and I drank until half past ten, and then I found a substitute driver to drive home." ”

"The name of the friend, the contact information, and the contact information of the driver, and the name of the restaurant. ”

Chen Xihai didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Comrade, what do you call it?"

"My surname is Han. ”

"Officer Han, my friend's identity is a bit special, can you not mention his name, I will directly say the name of the hotel and the contact information of the substitute driver, you can go directly to check, you can also prove it." ”

"Mr. Chen, I advise you not to engage in this kind of special, the case is very rigorous, it is useless just for me to agree, there is no way to fully prove your innocence if there is a lack of case handling process or eyewitnesses, and if the case is overturned and investigated in the future, you are likely to be targeted by the police again, not everyone is as good at talking as me. ”

"Yes, yes, I understand, in fact, there is nothing special, it is a friend of the video website company, when you contact them, I hope not to alarm their company, and I don't want to bring them a bad influence. ”

"As long as they cooperate with the police investigation, we will cooperate with them. ”

"Okay, with your words, my heart is steady. Chen Xihai took a deep breath and continued, "That night, we had a meal at Qilu Seafood House, there were three people in total, in addition to me, there was also Liao Qifeng, the vice president of our company, and a department head of the video website. ”

"Liao Qifeng is in his office, you can ask him directly in a moment. ”

"The person in charge of that video website is surnamed Zong, called Zong Ran, mobile phone number 1579482xxx"

After speaking, Chen Xihai took out a business card from his pocket, "This is the business card of the substitute driver, with his information on it." ”

Han Bin took the business card and glanced at it, and continued to ask, "I heard that you have a black Mercedes-Benz." ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Did you lend your Mercedes out that night?"

"No, I never borrow my car, and if something happens, I'm responsible, I won't do such a stupid thing. ”

"Over there, have you ever driven a Mercedes-Benz to the construction site where Lu Jingfang works?"

"No, absolutely not, I finished drinking, and directly asked the substitute driver to take me home, what are you going to do in that place, I'm still afraid of being robbed, impossible. ”

Han Bin wrote it down in his notebook and remembered a question again, "Do you have shoes with a shading of dog paw prints?"

"Nope. ”

"Have you ever seen anyone wear shoes like this?"

"I didn't pay attention. ”

"Don't try to deceive the police, or you'll be a serious suspect in the police. ”

Chen Xihai hurriedly assured. "No, I definitely won't, I don't dare lie anymore. ”

No matter how good Chen Xihai said, since he lied once, Han Bin would no longer fully believe him.

"According to the regulations, we need to collect your fingerprints and DNA, please cooperate. After Han Bin finished speaking, he gave Bao Xing a look.

Chen Xihai hesitated a little, and his body involuntarily shrank back, "Officer Han, I am innocent, there is really no need for this." ”

"It's routine, let's cooperate. ”

"I ......" Chen Xihai showed a tangled look on his face.

"Hey, that's interesting, what is there to be afraid of your old man, you won't be a thief. Bao Xing said.

Chen Xihai hurriedly denied, "I didn't." ”

"It's good if you don't, fingerprints and DNA are just enough to prove your innocence. ”
