Detective from the future

Chapter 251 Lie
"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, "Is Mu Xinran the name on your ID card?"

Mu Xinran hesitated for a moment, then shook her 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, I'm 34 years old, female..."

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, and looked at Mu Xinran in surprise. The name was nothing more than a fake age.
"When did you receive the blackmail call?" Li Hui continued to ask.

"Yesterday, that is, November [-]th."

"the exact time."

"At ten o'clock yesterday morning, I just got up when 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 1000 million, otherwise, I will put it on the Internet." Mu Xinran recalled.

"Did you say how to pay the ransom?"

"He said let me prepare the money first and wait for his call."

"How many times has he called?" Han Bin asked.

"once."

"The blackmail video, show me." Han Bin suggested.

Mu Xinran hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "This is my private video. I was changing clothes at the time, so it was not convenient."

"It's nothing inconvenient. I'm a policeman. I'm here to solve the case. I have to check all valuable clues myself." Han Bin said seriously.

Mu Xinran hesitated for a moment, then 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, so they still didn't have the nerve to lean over to look at it, feeling like a cat's claws scratching their hearts.

Han Bin glanced at Li Hui next to him: "What are you doing in a daze, continue to make notes."

"Hey." Li Hui responded, but he was a little unmotivated.

"Is the place where the video was secretly shot in this house?" Li Hui asked.

"Yes, it's in the master bedroom." Mu Xinran said.

"According to your estimation, which day was the candid photo taken?"

"I don't know the exact date, but this set of pajamas is newly bought, and it should be taken after I returned to Qindao." Mu Xinran said.

"When did you return to Qindao?"

"November third."

"That is to say, the time for sneak shooting is between November [-]rd and November [-]th." Han Bin said.

"It should be." Mu Xinran said.

"Zhao Ming, Lu Wen, go and check the door lock to see if there is any sign of being picked." Han Bin said.

After the two got up and left, Han Bin continued to ask, "Do you often live in this house?"

"No, I usually live in the capital, and I usually come to Qindao to relax when I'm not filming. I come here about six or seven times a year, and the total time is about a month." Mu Xinran said .

"Who knows about your return to Qindao this time?" Han Bin asked.

"The brokerage company, my parents, my husband, and my assistant." Mu Xinran said.

"Who was there when the sneak shot was taken?" Han Bin asked.

"I'm the only one who bought this house for the sake of cleanliness. I rarely invite friends over."

"Your lover doesn't live here?"

"He's in business. He's busy with work and doesn't have time to accompany me." Mu Xinran explained.

At this moment, Zhao Ming came over: "Brother Bin, we have checked, 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 any traces of the windows being damaged when you came back this time?"

"No."

"Who has the key to this house?" Han Bin said.

"Just me, and my husband." Mu Xinran said.

"Sure?"

"determine."

"Where is your husband now?"

"Still out of town."

Han Bin touched his chin: "Didn't you tell him that you were blackmailed?"

"My husband is discussing a very important project. I don't want to distract him, so I didn't tell him for a while." Mu Xinran explained.

"When you returned to Qindao this time, who has been to this house?"

"Just me and Li Xia."

"Does Li Xia live here too?" Han Bin asked.

"I like quietness, so I booked a hotel nearby for Li Xia, and I usually only look for her when I have something to do," Mu Xinran said.

"Have you ever moved the camera in the bedroom?" Han Bin asked.

"I didn't dare to let too many people know, and I didn't know how to do it myself, so I didn't move."

"Aren't you afraid of being monitored?" Li Hui asked doubtfully.

"The one with surveillance is the master bedroom. I moved 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 house, and said to Lu Wen, "According to the angle of the surveillance, this surveillance should be above the door, probably near the central air conditioner."

Reuven nodded.

"After finding the camera and collecting fingerprints, just remove it." Han Bin said.

"Just take it apart, will it alarm 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 take down the camera. It is impossible to keep it forever. This has nothing to do with calling the police." Han Bin explained.

Mu Xinran is not alone, she is rich and has a brokerage company behind her, so it is not difficult to deal with a camera.

"Miss Mu, I hope you can notify your husband and come to the police station as soon as possible to make a record." Han Bin said.

"You suspect my husband?" Mu Xinran frowned.

"It's not suspicious, it's just a routine inquiry." Han Bin said.

"However, he hasn't been to Qindao for a while, so it has nothing to do with this matter, so there's no need to ask him." Mu Xinran said.

"There is no trace of the door lock being picked. Only you and your husband have the keys to the house. We asked him to take notes, just to ask him if the key was lost or lent to other people, 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 can do whatever you want." Mu Xinran got up and made a gesture of invitation.

Han Bin looked around in the living room, found no suspicious clues, and went to other bedrooms, but still saw nothing unusual. However, when he walked to the balcony, he found an ashtray with With some cigarette butts.

At this time, Zhao Ming and Li Hui also searched other houses.

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 sinned against anyone recently?"

"No, I never take the initiative to offend anyone."

"Then do you have any suspects?" Han Bin asked.

"No." Mu Xinran shook her head.

Han Bin showed a thoughtful expression, 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.

"Me neither." Li Xia refused.

"Since you don't smoke, I won't smoke either, lest you 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 [-]rd, I cleaned the house. Because it has been vacant for a long time, the dust in the house is not small. Xin Ran likes to be clean. Every time I move in, I will clean it." Li Xia said.

Han Bin's expression was pale, but he was somewhat puzzled.

He saw an ashtray on the balcony, and there were cigarette butts in it. If these two people don't smoke, then there must be a third person who came here. When taking notes just now, Mu Xinran said that only she and Li Xia came here. House, obviously lying.

"From November [-]rd 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 and looked at Li Xia who was beside him: "Have you cleaned the balcony on November [-]rd?"

"After cleaning, the balcony is quite clean. There is no debris, so I just wiped the floor." Li Xia said.

"I went to the balcony just now and found an ashtray with cigarette butts in it." When Han Bin spoke, his eyes were fixed on Mu Xinran's expression: "Since you two don't smoke, who is the cigarette butt?" 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 lie?"

Mu Xinran pinched her forehead, showing a helpless look: "I'm an actor. When I'm filming, I need to play various roles and socialize with all kinds of people. I'm under a lot of pressure, and I can't talk to others. I sometimes smoke. A cigarette to decompress."

"I'm not interested in why you smoke, I ask why you lied?" Han Bin asked.

"I am a public figure, I am a good wife, and a good actor. My image does not allow me to smoke. This is also the rule set by my agency. Once I violate this rule and I am photographed by the media or paparazzi, I will face I feel like compensation for breach of contract." Mu Xinran said.

"I'm a policeman, not a paparazzi. I'm not interested in your smoking, but if you deliberately conceal or cover up some clues related to the case, it may affect the police's investigation." Han Bin warned.

"Yes, I know I was wrong, and I will never lie to you again." Mu Xinran said sincerely.

Han Bin had been staring at the other party, and found no sign of Mu Xinran lying.

"What kind of cigarettes are you smoking?"

"Ah!" Mu Xinran exclaimed in surprise.

"I asked what kind of cigarettes you smoke?" Han Bin repeated.

"I..." Mu Xinran recalled for a moment, and said, "Yunyan, what I smoke is Yunyan."

"Bang!" Han Bin slapped the coffee table and scolded: "Nonsense, the cigarette butts in the ashtray are clearly Zhonghua, how dare you lie!"

Mu Xinran took a deep breath and forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I was too nervous. I usually like to smoke Yunyan, but this time I didn't bring any cigarettes when I came to Qindao, so I took a box of my husband's Zhonghua from the cabinet. , my husband prefers to smoke this brand.”

"Hehe." Han Bin laughed.

Han Bin's laughter made Mu Xinran a little confused, and asked, "Officer Han, what's the problem?"

"The cigarette butt in the ashtray is not Zhonghua, but Yunyan." Han Bin said.

Mu Xinran was stunned, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, it was the beginning of winter yesterday, and the heater was not turned on today, so she was sweating at this time, it was 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 yelled, and warned: "If you provide false clues to the police and mislead the police to handle the case, you will bear criminal responsibility."

Li Xia stopped in her tracks, turned her head and said, "Officer Han, I'm going to get you 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 are the one who reported to the police. Our police are here to help you solve the case. If you deliberately provide false clues, you will be 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 remained silent.

"If you don't want to talk about it here, let's go to another place." Han Bin stood up and said to the crowd, "Take the two of them back to the police station to make notes."

"Officer Han, please wait a moment. Let me tell you everything." Mu Xinran hurriedly got up and grabbed Han Bin's arm.

She is a public figure. Once she follows Han Bin to the police station, she will definitely make 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 his arm out: "Say."

Mu Xinran frowned, remained silent for a while, and said, "Besides me and Li Xia, there were indeed other people who came here."

"who?"

"It's a friend of mine."

"Be specific."

"His name is Li Hanxuan. He came here to see me. He smoked the cigarettes on the balcony." Mu Xinran said.

Han Bin sat down, opened the diary, and said, "Why did you deliberately conceal it?"

"Li Hanxuan is also an artist, but he is not in the same agency as me. He also wanted to come to our agency, so he wanted to introduce him through me. Because it involves company secrets, I didn't tell you." Mu Xinran sighed, It seemed that he was afraid that Han Bin would not believe him, so he added:

"Once his private contact with me is known by the brokerage company, it is likely to be banned, and his contract has not expired, so he can't come to our brokerage company right away. It has been frozen by the brokerage company for a while and there is no heat. Our brokerage company I may not sign him again, so I dare not reveal my contact with him."

Han Bin stared at Mu Xinran and praised, "Leave aside the rest, you are a good actor."
