Detective From the Future - Chapter 257

[Two hundred and fifty-three lies]
“Miss Mu, don’t be nervous, I’ll make a record for you first.” Li Hui said and turned on the law enforcement recorder.
Mu Xinran squeezed out a smile and nodded.
Li Hui began to routinely ask: “Name, age, gender…”
“Mu Xinran, 30 years old, female…”
“Wait a minute.” Han Bin waved his hand and interjected: “Mu Xinran is on your ID card. Name?”
Mu Xinran hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: “No.”
“The information in the transcript must be the same as the information on your ID card, understand?” Han Bin said.
“Understood.” Mu Xinran replied.
Li Hui asked again: “Name, age, gender…”
“My real name is Mu Fang, 34 years old, female…”
Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mu Xinran in surprise. Age is also fake?
“When did you receive the extortion call?” Li Hui then asked.
“Yesterday, November 8th.”
“The exact time.”
“Yesterday, at ten o’clock in the morning, as soon as I woke up, I received a call from the blackmailer.”
“What did the blackmailer say at the time?”
“He said, I have a private video of you in my hand. If you want to go back, prepare a ransom of 10 million yuan. Otherwise, I will put it online.” Mu Xinran recalled.
“Did he tell you how to pay the ransom?”
“He told me to prepare the money first and wait for him to call.”
“How many times has he called?” Han Bin asked.
“Once.”
“The extortion video, show me.” Han Bin suggested.
Mu Xinran hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: “This is my private video. I was changing clothes at the time, so it’s
not convenient.”
“It’s not inconvenient, I’m a policeman. I’m here to solve the case, all valuable clues. , I have to check it myself.” Han Bin said sternly.
Mu Xinran hesitated for a moment, unlocked her phone, found a video and handed it to Han Bin.
Han Bin clicked on the video and checked it carefully.
Li Hui and Zhao Ming were also a little curious, but their professionalism was obviously not as good as Han Bin’s.
Han Bin glanced at Li Hui next to him: “What are you doing, keep taking notes.”
“Hey.” Li Hui replied, but he was a little bit tired.
“Is this house where the candid video was taken?” Li Hui asked.
“Yes, it’s in the master bedroom.” Mu Xinran said.
“According to your estimate, which day was the secret filming?”
“I don’t know exactly which day. However, I bought this set of pajamas. It should have been taken after I returned to Qindao this time.” Mu Xinran said.
“When did you go back to Qindao?”
“November 3rd.”
“That is to say, the candid time is between November 3rd and November 7th.” Han Bin said.
“It should be.” Mu Xinran said.
“Zhao Ming, Lu Wen, go check the door locks for signs of being pried,” Han Bin said.
After the two got up and left, Han Bin continued to ask, “Do you often come to live in this house?”
“No, I usually live in the capital, and usually only come to Qindao to relax when I’m not filming. It comes about six or seven times a year, and it takes about a month to add up.” Mu Xinran said.
“Who knows when you return to Qindao this time?” Han Bin asked.
“A brokerage company, my parents, my husband, and my assistant.” Mu Xinran said.
“Who was there when we were filming secretly?” Han Bin asked.
“I’m the only one who bought this house because I wanted to clean it up. I rarely invite friends over here.”
“Doesn’t your lover live here?”
“He’s in business, and he’s busy at work during this time, so he doesn’t have time to accompany him. Me.” Mu Xinran explained.
At this moment, Zhao Ming came over and said, “Brother Bin, we have checked the door, and the door lock is intact and there is no sign of being pried.”
Han Bin nodded and continued to ask Mu Xinran: “Did you find anything when you came back this time? Traces of broken windows?”
“No.”
“Who has the key to this house?” Han Bin asked.
“Just me, and my husband.” Mu Xinran said.
“Are you sure?” “Are you
sure.”
“Where is your husband now?”
“Still out of town.”
Han Bin touched his chin: “You didn’t tell him that he was blackmailed?”
“My husband is talking about a very important project. , I didn’t want to distract him, so I didn’t tell him for the time being.” Mu Xinran explained.
“When you returned to Qindao this time, who has been to this house?”
“Just me and Li Xia.”
“Does Li Xia also live here?” Han Bin asked.
“I like quietness, so I booked a hotel for Li Xia nearby, and I usually only find her when I have something to do,” Mu Xinran said.
“Have you ever moved the camera in the bedroom?” Han Bin asked.
“I don’t dare to let too many people know that if I can’t do it myself, I don’t move.”
“Aren’t you afraid of continuing to be monitored?” Li Hui wondered.
“The one under surveillance is the master bedroom, and I’ve switched to the second bedroom.” Mu Xinran said.
“Where is the master bedroom?” Han Bin asked.
Mu Xinran pointed to the back of the sofa: “This is the room.”
Han Bin looked at the direction of the room and said to Lu Wen, “According to the angle of the monitoring, the monitoring should be above the door, and it is very likely that the central air conditioner is located. Nearby.”
Lu Wen nodded.
“After finding the camera and collecting fingerprints, just remove it,” Han Bin said.
“If you take it down directly, will it alert the blackmailer and realize that Mu Xinran has called the police?” Li Hui asked.
“Even if Mu Xinran doesn’t call the police, she will dismantle the camera. It’s impossible to keep it all the time. It’s not directly related to the police,” Han Bin explained.
Mu Xinran is not alone. She has money and has a brokerage company behind her. It is not difficult to deal with a camera.
“Miss Mu, I hope you can inform your husband and come to the police station to make a record as soon as possible.” Han Bin said.
“You suspect my husband?” Mu Xinran frowned.
“I can’t talk about suspicion, it’s just a routine inquiry.” Han Bin said.
“However, he hasn’t been to Qindao during this period of time, and it has nothing to do with this matter, so there’s no need to ask him.” Mu Xinran said.
“The door lock has no signs of being picked, only you and your husband have the key to the house. We asked him to take a record, just to ask him if the key was lost or lent to others, so as to rule out some possible accidents. .” Han Bin said.
“I see.” Mu Xinran replied in a low voice.
“I want to check some more of your house to see if I can find other clues.” Han Bin said.
“You are free.” Mu Xinran stood up and made a gesture of please.
Han Bin walked around the living room and found no suspicious clues. He went to other bedrooms and saw nothing unusual. However, when he walked to the balcony, he found an ashtray with inside it. with some cigarette butts.
At this time, Zhao Ming and Li Hui also went to other houses to search.
In the living room, only Mu Xinran and Li Xia were sitting on the sofa.
Han Bin walked over and sat beside Mu Xinran: “Miss Mu, have you ever sinned against anyone recently?”
“No, I never take the initiative to offend anyone.”
“Then do you have any suspicions?” Han Bin asked.
“No.” Mu Xinran shook her head.
Han Bin showed a thoughtful look, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to Mu Xinran.
“Thank you, I don’t smoke.” Mu Xinran politely declined.
Han Bin handed the cigarette to Li Xia again.
“Neither would I.” Li Xia refused.
“Since you don’t smoke, then I don’t smoke anymore, so you don’t get used to it.” Han Bin smiled and put away the cigarette.
“By the way, has the house been cleaned recently?” Han Bin asked.
“On the morning of November 3rd, I cleaned the house, because it was vacant for a long time, and the dust in the house was not small, and I liked it clean. I would clean it every time I moved in,” Li Xia said.
Han Bin’s expression was not obvious, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.
He saw an ashtray on the balcony with cigarette butts inside. If neither of them smoked, then there must be a third person who came here. When he was taking the record just now, Mu Xinran said that only she and Li Xia had come here. The house is clearly lying.
“From November 3 to today, are you really the only two who have been to this house?” Han Bin confirmed again.
“Yes.” Mu Xinran replied.
Han Bin turned his head to look at Li Xia who was beside him: “Did you clean the balcony on November 3rd?”
“Yes, the balcony is very clean, and there are no sundries, so I wiped the floor.” Li Xia said.
“I went to the balcony just now and found that there was an ashtray on the balcony with leftover cigarette butts.” When Han Bin spoke, his eyes fixed on Mu Xinran’s expression: “Since you two don’t smoke, who are the cigarette butts? Left?”
Mu Xinran frowned slightly, lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry, I lied.”
“Look up and answer me, who smoked?”
Mu Xinran took a deep breath: “It’s me. ”
Why are you lying?”
Mu Xinran pinched her forehead, showing a helpless look: “I am an actor, I need to play various roles when filming, and socialize with all kinds of people. The pressure is very high, and I can’t talk to others.” Talk, and occasionally smoke a cigarette to relieve stress.”
“I’m not interested in why you smoke, I ask why you lied?” Han Bin asked.
“I’m a public figure, I’m a good wife and a good actor. My image doesn’t allow me to smoke. This is also a rule set by my agency. Once I violate this rule and are photographed by the media or paparazzi, I will face I feel compensation for breach of contract.” Mu Xinran said.
“I’m a policeman, not a paparazzi. I’m not interested in your smoking, but you deliberately conceal or conceal some clues related to the case, which may affect the police’s investigation.” Han Bin warned.
“Yes, I know I was wrong, and I will never deceive you again.” Mu Xinran said with a sincere expression.
Han Bin has been staring at each other, and there is no sign that Mu Xinran is lying.
“What kind of cigarette are you smoking?”
“Ah!” Mu Xinran exclaimed in surprise.
“I asked what cigarettes you smoked?” Han Bin repeated.
“I…” Mu Xinran recalled for a moment, and said, “Yunyan, I smoke Yunyan.”
“Bang!” Han Bin slapped the coffee table and scolded, “What nonsense, the cigarette butts in the ashtray are clearly Chinese, you How dare you lie!”
Mu Xinran took a deep breath and squeezed a smile: “I’m sorry, I’m too nervous, I usually like to smoke cloud cigarettes, but this time I didn’t bring cigarettes to Qindao, so I took one from the cabinet. Box of my husband’s Zhonghua, my husband prefers to smoke this brand.”
“Haha.” Han Bin laughed.
Han Bin’s laughter made Mu Xinran feel a little unsure, and he asked, “Officer Han, is there any problem?”
“The cigarette butts in the ashtray are not Chinese, but Yunyan.” Han Bin said.
Mu Xinran was stunned, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Yesterday was the beginning of winter, and there was no heating today, so sweating at this time is definitely not hot.
“Officer Han, you really know how to joke.”
“Do you think I’m joking?” Han Bin asked back.
Li Xia got up and walked towards the balcony.
“Stop.” Han Bin scolded and warned: “Providing false clues to the police and misleading the police to handle the case, but you will bear criminal responsibility.”
Li Xia stopped, turned her head and said, “Officer Han, I’m going to give it to you. Pour a glass of water.”
“Thank you for your kindness, I’m not thirsty.” Han Bin said.
Seeing the situation here, Li Hui walked to Han Bin’s side.
“Miss Mu, you called the police on your own initiative. Our police are here to help you solve the case. If you deliberately provide false clues, you are indirectly helping the suspect.” Li Hui said.
Mu Xinran’s face was a little ugly, and she bit her lower lip: “I didn’t provide false clues, I really didn’t do that.”
“Who left the cigarette butts on the balcony?” Han Bin asked.
Mu Xinran lowered her head and said nothing.
“If you don’t want to talk here, then let’s go to another place.” Han Bin got up and said to the crowd, “Take them back to the police station to make a record.”
“Officer Han, please wait a moment, I said, I’ll tell you everything. .” Mu Xinran hurriedly stood up and grabbed Han Bin’s arm.
She is a public figure. Once she follows Han Bin to the police station, she will definitely be in the headlines the next day, regardless of whether she is a victim or a suspect, this is not a good thing for her.
Han Bin turned around and pulled out his arm: “Speak.”
Mu Xinran frowned, and was silent for a while, then said: “Besides Li Xia and me, there are indeed other people who have come here. UU reading www. sonicmtl.com”
“Who?”
“A friend of mine.”
“Be more specific.”
“His name is Li Hanxuan, he came here to see me, and he smoked the cigarette on the balcony.” Mu Xinran said.
Han Bin sat down, opened the diary, and said, “Why did you deliberately hide it?”
“Li Hanxuan is also an artist, but he and I are not in the same agency. He also wanted to come to our agency, so he wanted to introduce it through me, because it involves I didn’t tell you the company’s secret, so I didn’t tell you.” Mu Xin sighed, as if afraid of Han Bin’s disbelief, and added:
“Once the agency knows about his personal contact with me, it is likely to be blocked. And his contract hasn’t expired yet, so he can’t come to our brokerage company right away, he’s been refrigerated by the brokerage company for a while and has lost its popularity, and our brokerage company may not want him again, so I don’t dare to expose my contact with him.”
Han Bin stared at Mu Xinran and praised: “Leave the rest aside, you are indeed a good actor.”
