Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lying to Your Face
As soon as Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan returned to the bureau, they first found Luo Wei, showed him Xu Wenbiao's photo, and asked him if he had seen this person in the surveillance video.
"Huh? This man looks familiar!" Luo Wei tapped his finger on Xu Wenbiao's photo, "You guys wait a while, let me think about it!"
I've seen this guy before, it's a familiar face!"
He quickly pulled up a video, pulled the progress bar to a certain time period, and played it quickly, leaning his entire body on the table, eager to put his eyes on the monitor to prevent missing a look.
After about half a minute, Luo Wei suddenly slapped the table, pushed the video back a little, and motioned to Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan to look, "Let's see if this is the person you are looking for!"
The two hurriedly leaned over, and the surveillance video on the screen had returned to its normal playback speed, and the picture was the main entrance of the community where Hong Xinli had an accident, and the beating time in the corner of the screen showed 7:50 in the morning.
At this time, there were a lot of people coming in and out of the gate of the community, and among them, a middle-aged man wearing a pie coat and a briefcase walked in from outside the gate by swiping a magnetic card, I don't know if it was because he felt cold, he shrunk his neck, and half of his face was blocked by a collar that stood up.
Only after walking into the door, a mother and son ran towards them, and hurriedly staggered with the middle-aged man, and when they almost collided, the man hurriedly dodged, and then his whole face was exposed.
Luo Wei quickly paused the screen and pointed at the person on the screen: "How? Dude's ability to recognize people is pretty good, right?"
Although the man on this screen looks richer and older than the profile photo of Xu Wenbiao that Ning Shuyi and the others found, they all have a pair of big and convex eyes, and the characteristics of the nose and mouth are also more obvious, so it can be determined that they are the same person.
"Xu Wenbiao came to the scene of the crime on the morning of the crime!" Ning Shuyi turned his head to look at Huo Yan, "We have just confirmed his address, and it is basically the opposite of Hong Xinli's house.
He also told the unit today that he was unwell and that he was resting at home!"
"Let's go!" Huo Yan quickly took his coat from the side, and handed over Ning Shuyi's by the way.
The two immediately set off and rushed to Xu Wenbiao's residence.
Strictly speaking, the place where Xu Wenbiao's family lives is not far from Hong Xinli and Zhai Yujiang's residence, it is basically a dropway, and the size of the community and the degree of newness are similar, but it is not as large as Zhai Yujiang's house.
The community management of Xu Wenbiao's family is not strict, Ning Shuyi and they parked the car outside, walked to the gate of the community, and followed the residents in and out naturally, and the security guard at the door didn't even ask their identities and intentions.
Before going to Xu Wenbiao's house, the two of them went to the property first, revealed their identities, retrieved the video of the unit where Xu Wenbiao's house was located on the day of the crime, confirmed Xu Wenbiao's whereabouts, and then saved this part of the surveillance video before going straight to Xu Wenbiao's residence.
knocked on the door for a while, and just when Ning Shuyi was a little unsure, there was a noise inside, and it seemed that someone was at home.
"Who?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the door, his voice was loud and sounding full of energy.
"Is it Xu Wenbiao's house?" Ning Shuyi asked.
The man in the door did not answer, but asked her, "What are you doing? What's the matter?"
"We are from the community, and we need your help to vote for the general election of your community owners' committee!" Ning Shuyi said in a brisk tone.
"Oh......" The door answered, followed by the sound of unlocking.
The security door in front of him opened, and Xu Wenbiao himself stood inside, he did look much older than his ID photo, not small, wearing satin pajamas, looking very rich, including temperament and his slightly rounded belly.
"Where's the table? Bring it!" Xu Wenbiao's face was a little red, exuding a faint smell of wine, looking at Ning Shuyi, who was dressed in casual clothes, he did not doubt him, and stretched out his hand to signal her to hand over the form to him, "How do I remember if it was last year or the year before last?" Why do you have to change again so soon?"
Ning Shuyi smiled at him and showed his ID: "To be honest, I don't know much about the change.
If you don't mind, let's go in and talk, it might not be appropriate to say it in the hallway."
Xu Wenbiao looked at the document in Ning Shuyi's hand, and his expression became a little stiff.
"Oh...... Oh......" His eyes flickered, and he slowly let go of the door, and when he saw Huo Yan behind Ning Shuyi, he tried to grin and squeeze out a dry smile.
Huo Yan glanced at him lightly and ignored it.
Xu Wenbiao's home is also very spacious, the windows are bright and clean, there is a ball of velvet blanket on the sofa in the living room, and there are two open beer cans on the coffee table in front, one is pinched flat, and the other is not.
"None of you are at home? Isn't it easy to speak?" Ning Shuyi looked around and asked with a smile.
"My child was just admitted to college this year, and when he wasn't at home, my wife went out." Xu Wenbiao hurriedly accosted, "Two, please sit down!" Please take a seat!"
"We originally wanted to make a routine inquiry at your media company, but we heard that Director Xu was unwell today and couldn't go to work, so we had to come to the door." Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan sat down on the two single sofas on the other side, "Director Xu is unwell, shouldn't he drink beer?"
"Drink...... Drink ......" Xu Wenbiao hurriedly swept the two beer cans on the coffee table into the trash can on the side with some embarrassment, "You are looking for me...... Is it for Hong Xinli's business?"
"Director Xu is unwell today, is it also because of Hong Xinli?" Ning Shuyi indirectly admitted Xu Wenbiao's inquiry, and asked back by the way.
Xu Wenbiao's face turned even redder, and there seemed to be faint sweat on his forehead: "I can't talk about it...... Less...... It's just a coincidence...... What a coincidence!
Do you want to know about Hong Xinli's work? I can introduce you to that.
But if it's outside of work, then I won't be able to help you."
"That's ......," Ning Shuyi looked at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan took out his mobile phone and found a screenshot from it, which was the surveillance screen where Xu Wenbiao appeared in the community on the morning of the crime.
"I don't know what Director Xu went to Hong Xinli's house yesterday morning for?" Ning Shuyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Wenbiao, waiting for him to give an answer.
Xu Wenbiao tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Oh, I can explain this...... After I arrived at the unit yesterday morning, I found that there was a very important award application material, which Hong Xinli did not hand over to me.
At that time, she had already come home from the broadcast, and I was in a hurry, so I went over and got it."
