Chapter 197: Probe.
In a steamed seafood restaurant with ancient flavors, at a table for two in the corner of the restaurant, a young man sat down at the table and helped himself to a drink. On the table was a pot of steaming seafood, including shrimp, scallops, clams, oysters, calamari, and more. Not many fruits per species, but the variety were very complete. There were also three small ingredients and two small side dishes.
This steamed seafood restaurant is located near Qingdao University. The signature of the restaurant is serving fresh. Seafood is always alive before being served. These are all special local seafood. With its unique shape, the steamed seafood restaurant really retains the moist taste of seafood. The restaurant is about 100 square meters and there are more than a dozen tables. There are tables for two and four. The width of the tables is the same. If there are more guests, you can join another person at his table.
This man was none other than Song Zhi Xun, a third-year student in the Department of Chemistry at Qingdao University. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, dug into a small oyster, and sipped a sip of white wine with the aftertaste on his face. He took out his cell phone, found a TV show, put the cell phone on the table, and ate seafood while watching the video.
At this time, three young men entered the seafood restaurant. The main man was tall and straight, with sharp eyes, and glanced at the restaurant's guests. The most striking thing was the man behind him. He was over 1.9 meters tall, hefty, and looked tall and strong. He stood there like a half wall.
The three who just arrived were Han Bin, Li Hui, and Sun Xiao Peng. Originally, Han Bin had no intention of bringing Sun Xiao Peng, but since Song Zhi Xun was suspected of committing a major crime, he brought another person just in case.
Song Zhi Xun was still watching videos and eating seafood, but he didn't feel anything unusual. Suddenly, a man sat across from him, and Song Zhi Xun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Brother, who are you?"
"Are you Song Zhi Xun?"
Song Zhi Xun was a little surprised and stunned: "Yes, it's me, what's wrong?"
"I'm a policeman, and I want to know something about you," Han Bin said sternly.
Song Zhi Xun looked a little nervous, he put out the cigarette butt and wanted to get up, but he felt a big hand on his shoulders pressing him down on the seat like it was worth a thousand dollars. He turned his head and saw there were two men standing behind him, one of them was tall and strong, and this man was as tall as he was.
"Mr. Police officer, do you have anything to do with me?"
"We are investigating a case and would like to ask you to provide a written statement," Han Bin asked.
"I haven't finished my meal yet, and I'll give some when I can," Song Zhi Xun sketched a smile.
"Okay, we also haven't eaten," Han Bin smiled and waved at the boss: "Three bowls of seafood noodles, hurry up."
"OK." The waiter answered and turned to the kitchen window.
Sun Xiao Peng pulled out the four-seater table next to him and joined it to his making it a six-seater table. He had the wall on his right, and Sun Xiao Peng and Li Hui on his left. Han Bin sat across from him, no matter how delicious the seafood on the table was, he couldn't eat it anymore.
"Mr. Police, let's eat together."
"Thank you for your kindness and I appreciate that," Han Bin smiled.
Song Zhi Xun sketched a smile, then filled the glass with liquor and drank it all at once. It didn't take long for all three bowls of seafood noodles to be served. Han Bin poured vinegar into his bowl and ate it. As for Sun Xiao Peng and Li Hui, they ate their bowls without adding anything and were faster than Han Bin in finishing them. Song Zhi Xun was a little envious of the three people's appetites; he really had no appetite now, so he played with his cell phone.
Within ten minutes, Han Bin's seafood noodle bowl was finished. Sun Xiao Peng and Li Hui ate faster, one wiped his mouth and the other stood up to digest. Han Bin wiped his sweat and lit a cigarette: "Classmate Song, are you full?"
Song Zhi Xun glanced at Han Bin and put the phone away: "I'm full."
"Come with us." Han Bin asked.
"Wait, this... Do you have a police officer's certificate and a warrant for your arrest?"
Song Zhi Xun was not idle just now and checked some information on the Internet. Han Bin took out the police certificate and let the other party have a look.
"What about holding evidence?" Song Zhi Xun asked.
Generally speaking, Han Bin should get the arrest warrant before acting, but the arrest warrant hasn't been approved yet, so he can't wait forever and miss the best time to solve the case.
In order for the arrest warrant and the summons to appear at the police station to be approved, they will have to send team members to collect them, and it may take several hours to come and go and it is very likely that the suspect will be unquestioned tonight, so Han Bin decided to perform the action in advance.
In his opinion, the police sometimes also need flexible ways to deal with cases.
"You don't have an arrest warrant. According to the regulations, I don't have to accompany you," Song Zhi Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Bin smiled: "You're right, I didn't force you to come with us to appear at the police station, I just think that as a student, you have high-quality talent, knowledge, and awareness, and you should take the initiative to cooperate with our police work."
"You said that. I told you that, I don't have time," Song Zhi Xun shrugged and stood up: "Policemen, please make way."
Han Bin waved his hand, and Sun Xiao Peng and Li Hui made way for him.
"Thank you." Song Zhi Xun showed a smile, walked around Li Hui and Sun Xiao Peng, and turned to walk out.
"Brother Bin, do you really want to let him go?" Sun Xiao Peng was a little reluctant and puzzled.
"It doesn't matter, the school will officially start tomorrow, and you can directly apply for an arrest warrant to go to his school to arrest him. If he can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple," Han Bin said coldly.
"Mr. Police officer, you cannot do this. I am a student. You should consider the impact of this incident on me. What would my classmates think when you arrest me at school? Even if I jump in the Yellow River, I can't wash this thing," Song Zhi Xun stopped and turned to the question.
"If I hadn't considered the impact, I wouldn't have been here right now. Understanding is mutual," Han Bin also shrugged,
"Good." Song Zhi Xun said: "What do you want to ask, I'll answer your questions,"
"Don't force me, and I didn't bring a warrant, and I won't take any coercive measures," Han Bin smiled.
"I volunteered to cooperate with the police," Song Zhi Xun said softly.
Han Bin tapped the ashtray: "I didn't hear correctly."
"I am ready to cooperate with the police," Song Zhi Xun said aloud.
Li Hui reached out and patted his shoulder: "What a great guy, you are a good student."
.......
Ten minutes later, Song Zhi Xun was taken back to the classroom of the school commandeered by Han Bin, headed by Sun Xiao Peng. Han Bin called Zheng Kaixuan to report the situation, and at the same time, he also learned from him about the progress of the first group's investigation. Then he stood outside the classroom door looking inside from the rear window and watched Song Zhi Xun's every move.
The evidence collected in the case was more complete and more beneficial for the subsequent trial.
Li Hui approached him and handed him a cigarette: "Dear Bin, are you a little reckless in your arrest this time?"
Han Bin took the cigarette and asked: "Why do you say it?"
Han Bin took out a lighter and lit Li Hui's cigarette then his own: "In fact, my arrest just now was also a test for Song Zhi Xun."
Li Hui asked in confusion: "What is the test?"
"Look, if Song Zhi Xun still wants to leave, it means he has a bad conscience; he was the last person to contact the deceased and bought tools to commit the crime at the hardware store, so he is suspected of having committed the crime and the arrest can be made directly," Han Bin explained.
……
Usually, the police have to show an arrest warrant to arrest someone. In an emergency, if there is evidence, it is also possible to first question the person and then carry out the formalities, which are entirely in accordance with the regulations.
……
Since Han Bin decided to arrest him, he was absolutely sure not to let Song Zhi Xun leave the hotel.
