Detective from The Future

"Aren't you and Mike colleagues? Why didn't you attend the dinner party."

Ma Jiajia explained, "It's different, I'm an ordinary English teacher, not comparable to Mike. Mike is a foreign teacher, and they have their own circle. Last night, it was a dinner with foreign teachers in several schools."

"How many foreign teachers do you have at Qindao Foreign Language Institute?"

"Five."

Han Bin made a note in his notebook, "How many people had dinner that night?"

"I don't know exactly how many people went there. I only know that there are Zeira and Salman. They are also foreign teachers. I have a good relationship with Zeira. She is a beauty from the three countries."

"If I want to know about Mike at school, who should I call?" Han Bin said.

"You can find Chen Haijing. He is the deputy director of the Department of Foreign Languages ​​and is also a person in charge of foreign teachers. Mike will find her if he has something to do or asks for leave."

"Did she go to dinner last night?"

"I think she should participate. She usually organizes such things."

"What do you think about Mike being killed?"

"What can I say? Of course I am sad. A good person like Mike shouldn't suffer from this kind of thing."

"Is there anything unusual before Mike died?"

"I...I don't know what to say. His brother died and he was very sad, but it was a special period. He couldn't return to the United States immediately. He missed his brother's funeral. His family blamed him, friend. I don’t understand, Mike is under a lot of pressure."

"Where did his brother die and what's his name?"

"His younger brother is Tony, who has just graduated from a prestigious American university. He is a promising young man. Tony went out to play with his friends at night and was shot and killed by mistake. Their brothers are all good people. They shouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. of."

"What does it mean to be shot and killed by mistake?" Han Bin asked.

"I don't know very well. Mike was very sad and cried whenever he mentioned his brother, so I didn't ask in detail."

"What did Mike do in the United States before?"

"He used to work in finance. Although his income was very high, he felt that it was meaningless. He was dealing with money and numbers all day. He didn't like those Wall Street tycoons. He wanted to do something meaningful, so he came to Qindao. He became a foreign teacher in our school. He wanted to teach students what he knew and learned. He felt that in this way could he realize the value of life."

"Which financial company does he work?" Han Bin asked.

"This...I don't know exactly which one. He doesn't want to say more about the past. In his words, there is too much darkness on Wall Street, which is not suitable for him."

"He has stab wounds and snatches, you should know."

"Yes, I know." Ma Jiajia nodded, showing a touch of worship.

"It was in the United States. He was eating at a restaurant in Bangzi Country. He met two robbers. Mike was very brave. He didn't stand by. He went to fight with those people. He is a hero left by the robbers fighting, and the scar on his body is his medal."

Han Bin wrote in his notebook, "These are all Mike told you?"

"Oumaika." Ma Jiajia spoke Chinese in an American accent.

"Are you suspicious of Mike? I know he is a black man. You may have prejudice against him, but he is different from other black people. Just like our country, there are good people and bad people, otherwise what are those in prison? People can be distinguished by their skin."

"You overreacted?"

"You can doubt me, but you can't doubt Mike. His friends said the same. He is a good man and a responsible person."

"What friend?"

"After his brother died, a friend came from the United States to look for him. When I chatted with him, he also admired Mike. I could feel that he even regarded Mike as an idol."

"What is the name of the friend you are talking about?"

"Hal."

"Why did Hal come to find Mike from the United States?"

"He hopes Mike will return home and seek justice for the dead Tony."

"What kind of justice?"

Ma Jiajia shook his head, "I don't know the specific situation very well. Mike doesn't want me to worry. He said it's all trivial matters and he will handle it."

"Have Mike ever thought of returning to China?"

"When Hal first came, he talked about Tony’s experience. Mike was very angry. He thought about returning home and discussed it with me. I asked him to take me to the United States. He said that he could not take me away for the time being. , And once he returns to the United States, he doesn’t know if he will come back."

"I didn't want to be separated from him, so I persuaded him not to go back for the time being. Mike finally agreed to me. He couldn't bear me, so he decided not to go back for the time being. The two of us discussed and waited for the summer vacation to go to America to worship Tony. "

"Hal returned to the United States?"

"not yet."

"Where is he?"

"He lives in our house, but he didn't go back last night. I don't know where he is?"

"He only didn't go back yesterday, or does he often stay away at night?"

Ma Jiajia said, "Oh, he is an alcoholic. He often goes out to drink. He is different from Mike. He often doesn't come home at night."

"Why didn't Hal return home?"

"I don't know, I asked Mike and he said he would handle this matter."

"Does Hal have a cell phone?"

"Yes, I lent my mother an unused cell phone number to him."

"What's the phone number?"

"147487XXXXX"

"Apart from this incident, is there anything else Mike has had recently?"

"No."

"Do you have any suspects for his murder?"

Ma Jiajia hesitated, "I...I don't know how to say..."

"Tell the truth."

"Some time ago, Mike had a fight with a man for me."

"What man does it have to do with you?"

"His name is David and he is my ex-boyfriend."

"Also foreigners."

"Yes, he is also a foreign teacher at the school."

"Because what's the conflict?"

"In November last year, Mike was still living in the dormitory of foreign teachers. I went to find Mike in the dormitory. He was still teaching classmates at the time, so I rested in his dormitory. David also lived in the dormitory of foreign teachers. He saw me. He wanted to reconcile with me, but I refused. David began to do something with me, and Mike saw him. Mike was very angry, like an angry bull, so he taught him a lesson."

"Mike is very strong, injured David, and the matter was brought to the school. Deputy Director Chen Haijing came forward to solve it. We compensated David for some medical expenses and moved out of the foreign teacher's dormitory."

"Which country is David from?"

"It's also from the United States, but he's a white man. He has always looked down on Mike, as if he was naturally noble. In fact, he is nothing compared to Mike, he is a scumbag."

Han Bin wrote in his notebook, "So David and Mike have always had conflicts."

"Yes, because of this love affair, they have not seen each other for more than two months. Yesterday was the first day to meet. David should have also attended the party last night. Yes, he must have attended." This, Ma Jiajia cried,

"Oumaika, if... if it was really done by David, he must be because of me, Oumaika, I killed Mike...NO..."

Bao Xing patted his forehead. The abrupt addition of a few English words in this Chinese made him sound painful.

"Why did you and David break up?"

"I don't want to mention that scumbag anymore." Ma Jiajia choked up.

Han Bin frowned, "We are not asking about your relationship history, but we want to know whether David had the motive for committing the crime."

"He definitely has the motive of committing the crime. He has always been jealous of Mike. I can see that he regrets it."

Han Bin pinched his forehead, "What I want to ask is, did you break up with David because of Mike?"
