Chapter 978

Xiao Guodong and Xiao Bingtian are similar in spirit. They are shorter, with red eyes and anxious face.

"Comrade police, how's the investigation going? How on earth did my brother die? "

"Mr. Xiao, I beg your pardon. I'm Han Bin from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I'm in charge of investigating this case. "

"Officer Han, who killed my brother?"

"As a reporter, you should know that the police have just taken over the case. I can understand your current mood, but it takes time to investigate the case. I can't be in a hurry."

"Yes, I know. I just It's just a brother, it's just a relative, i... " Xiao Guodong was in tears.

Han Bin handed him two paper towels. "Mr. Xiao, I want to tell you something about Xiao Bingtian."

"Well, ask."

"Is Xiao Bingtian married? Are there any other immediate family members besides you? "

"No, my brother is rather loose, a little bit of a literary youth. He likes freedom and doesn't like being bound by family, so he has never been married. My parents have already passed away. Besides my brother, I don't have any close relatives

"Does Xiao Bingtian have a girlfriend?"

"I'm not sure about that. My brother has been working in other places. He only returned to Qindao half a month ago. It's not easy for me to ask about my feelings as a younger brother. "

"Which city did Xiao Bingtian work in before and how long did he go?"

"Before, my brother had been working in Chang'an for nearly 20 years. Because he was far away, he didn't go back to Qindao very much. The last time I came back was 17 years ago, when my mother passed away. After that, my brother never came back. "

"What does Xiao Bingtian do and when did he arrive at Qindao?"

"My brother is engaged in the identification of cultural relics. Chang'an is an ancient capital of two thousand years. There are many historic sites, cultures and customs. It is a city he has always been longing for."

"Do you know where he works?"

"Well, I don't really remember that. All I know is that he works in an auction house."

Han Bin wrote down in his book, "does Xiao Bingtian have any close friends in Qindao?"

"I haven't asked, but I think so. My brother is very nice and easy to get along with. He's also a warm-hearted person and easy to make friends with people."

Han Bin has a deep understanding of this. Although he only saw Xiao Bingtian once, he was very impressed by Xiao Bingtian and regretted his death.

Recalling the scene on the high-speed railway, Han Bin thinks of the photo that Xiao Bingtian is holding in his hand. It has been years since he saw it. The young woman at that time may not be young now, but one thing will not change, that is, this woman is very important to Xiao Bingtian.

"Has Xiao Bingtian ever talked about the object before?"

"How long did you mean before?"

"No time limit. You can say anything you know."

Xiao Guodong said, "my brother left Qindao for nearly 20 years. During this period, he seldom came back. Even if he came back, he didn't stay long. Either he came back to see my parents, or he took my parents to live in Chang'an for a period of time. Every time he came back to Qindao, he couldn't stay more than a month. And I spend most of my time with my parents, and I don't have time to fall in love.

Before he went to Chang'an, he talked about a girlfriend, and the two of them got to the point of marriage, but later they failed because of some reasons. It's a pity to tell you the truth. That girl is very good. I always think that my brother should have a certain relationship with her when he left Qindao. "

Han Bin asked, "what's her name? Do you have her contact information? "

"Her surname is song What's the name? I can't remember it for a moment. After all, it's been 20 years. I've only seen her two or three times and I know that she and my brother are in the same school. I'm not very clear about the rest

"When your brother came back to Qindao, he lived here alone?"

"Yes, this is my parents' old house. It's not short since my parents passed away. My brother and I discussed and prepared to sell this house. He came back this time to deal with this matter. I think it's not easy for him to come back once. Let him live longer and wait for a year.

My brother also wants to live in the old house for a period of time before it is sold. Who knows It's only ten days since an accident happened. I would not let him come back if I knew it. I can handle the house by myself. Ah The world is changeable, and no one can think of it. "

"Do you have any differences with Xiao Bingtian on the issue of selling houses?"

"No. My brother is not young, but he still feels like a young man of literature and art. He doesn't care much about money. Before I said that he wanted to sell a house, he was a little reluctant. After all, it's the place where my parents live. It's a dream.

Later, he thought about it for a while and agreed. After all, the old people have already gone. The house is a kind of thought, but sometimes it is also a kind of concern. He didn't intend to come back, let me see the sale, and didn't mention the money.

But this house is no small matter. Although it is old, it has a good location and can sell for at least 1.34 million. I'm not a person who likes to take advantage of it. I want my brother to come back and deal with this house together. It's better for us to get together.My brother agreed. Maybe he still can't let go of this old house and wants to live for a while before selling it. "

"As far as you know, does your brother have any conflicts with others in Qindao?"

Xiao Guodong shook his head. "He came back on January 18. It's only ten days. I really can't figure out who can have such a big conflict with him."

"When was the last time you saw Xiao Bingtian? How do you know that something happened to him?"

"The last contact was yesterday afternoon. He called me, but I didn't receive it. I was in a restaurant, and I was busy in the kitchen. Later I called my wife and said that I would reserve a private room in the hotel the day after tomorrow. I wanted to invite some friends to dinner. My wife asked him how many people and what grade they were. My brother said that four or five of him, about 1000 yuan.

After my wife told me, I didn't care about him at that time. This morning, I wanted him to have dinner. By the way, I asked him clearly. As a result, I couldn't get through his mobile phone. I didn't care too much at that time. I continued to call him if he could have anything. Later, he didn't answer until noon, so I felt something was wrong.

Let my wife look at the shop. I came to have a look. No one answered the knock. I opened the door and had a look. Ah I'm just a relative. My brother is not two years older than me. I didn't expect him to leave so early. "

"Did you find anything unusual before you came in?"

"No, I was a little worried at that time, and I didn't look at it carefully."

"How did you open the door?"

"My brother is not in Qindao usually. I have all the keys to the house. I have the key to open the door myself."

"After opening the door, did you enter the scene of the crime?"

"Yes, I saw that my brother was injured. I must go in and have a look. When I went in, I knew that people were dead and incurable, so I called the police immediately."

"Have you ever touched anything at the scene?"

Xiao Guodong recalled for a moment, "no, I remember not."

"Have you ever stepped on blood in the house?"

"I don't think so."

"Has anyone else been here since you opened the door to the police?"

"Yes, I was so scared that I called my brother out loud. Some neighbors heard the news, but at most they were standing in the porch. No one came into the living room, and no one touched my brother."

Before Han Bin speculated that it might be an acquaintance who committed the crime. Since he is a neighbor, he may also know the deceased.

Moreover, after committing the crime, the suspect is likely to return to the scene again for various reasons and purposes.

"Do you remember any neighbors who came to the scene?"

Xiao Guodong nodded, "probably remember."

Han Bin opened his notebook, "tell me about it."

"Brother Yang, Lao Lin, sister Liu and Lao Wu should be these four people."

"Say your full name."

"Yang Bairen, Lin Chunhua, Liu Rong, Wu Haibo."
