Chapter 47 Xu Wenbin was humiliated in public
When Han Yun and Yu Miaomiao finished eating noodles and walked out of the noodle shop, the police received news. After returning to the car, Yu Miaomiao said: "I just asked someone to check. There is a person named Han Zibao at the headquarters of Baijia Supermarket. He has been in prison for fighting and injuring others."
"What is this person's position?" Han Yun asked.
"Regional general manager." Yu Miaomiao clicked on the picture on her phone, zoomed in and said, "He is in charge of all the hundreds of supermarket chains in Beidu."
"That's right. Han Zibao is very likely Xu Wenbin's backer." Han Yun thought for a moment and said, "Is he in Beidu now?"
"Yes." Yu Miaomiao replied.
"Let's go find him." Han Yun said.
Yu Miaomiao started the car and drove onto the main road. While driving, he used a wireless headset to call the police station and inquired about the specific location of the Baijia Supermarket Beidu headquarters.
In the city center, the Beidu office of the Baijia supermarket chain was in a commercial building. After the two of them arrived, they parked the car and went straight upstairs. The entire fifteenth floor belonged to Baijia .
After coming up, Yu Miaomiao asked someone, and then the two of them went directly to the general manager's office and knocked politely. "Come in." Someone shouted in the office. Han Yun stretched out his hand to open the door and walked in. In the huge office, there was only a man in formal clothes. The man looked less than fifty years old. Yu Miaomiao, who followed in, walked forward, took out his ID and handed it over, saying: "Hello, we are from the Beidu Police Station."
The man took Yu Miaomiao's ID and looked at it, then asked her doubtfully, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
There was a sign on the desk, which read "Regional General Manager Han Zibao". Han Yun glanced at the sign, then walked to the sofa and sat down and said, "You should know why we came to you. Wasn't a manager of your supermarket murdered yesterday?"
"You mean Xu Wenbin?" Han Zibao stood up, walked around the office, sat down in front of Han Yun, picked up the tea, poured it and handed it to Han Yun, saying, "He is the manager of one of our stores. I did hear about this, it's really weird. But I don't know much about Xu Wenbin's store. If you ask me, I'm afraid I can't help you much."
Han Yun stared at Han Zibao. There was a scar on his ear. It wasn't deep, but the hair around it couldn't grow anymore. "I heard that General Manager Han had been in society. Was the scar from that time?"
Han Zibao raised his hand and touched the scar above his ear, then frowned slightly: "It was all a long time ago. I was young and frivolous, and I did a lot of wrong things."
Yu Miaomiao walked around the office, then came over and sat next to Han Yun: "Let's not beat around the bush, and please answer our questions truthfully, General Manager Han. You and Xu Wenbin have known each other for a long time, right?"
Han Yun suspected that Han Zibao had concealed the fact that he had been in prison when he came to Baijia, so he reminded Han Zibao just now to tell Han Zibao that the police knew about him. Han Zibao also heard what Han Yun meant, stood up and walked to the door, closed the office door, and then sat down on the sofa and said: "Indeed, Wenbin and I knew each other before. At that time, I was in my twenties and joined a small gang. I followed and fought and collected protection fees all day long. At that time, I often took people to the vicinity of Xu Wenbin's school and intercepted students' money. Wenbin was intercepted by me several times. Later one day, he suddenly came to me with several thousand yuan and said he wanted to follow me."
"Xu Wenbin's father had an accident at the construction site and lost a lot of money. His mother remarried and left all the money to him." Yu Miaomiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that Xu Wenbin must have been very rich during that time."
"I don't know where his money came from, but he was rich. He paid for my brothers and I's food, drinks and entertainment." Han Zibao said this in a low voice: "He was younger than me, and he always called me Brother Han. At that time, he didn't study hard and hung out with us all day."
"Do you know if Xu Wenbin has any special hobbies?" Han Yun picked up the teacup, smelled it, then took a sip and said.
"What do you mean by special hobby?" Han Zibao didn't quite understand what Han Yun said.
"Peeping." Yu Miaomiao added, "Or following girls."
"It seems so." Han Zibao frowned and thought for a while, then continued after a few seconds: "At the time, there was a girl in his technical secondary school that he liked very much, and he often followed her. We also encouraged him to chase her, but he said he was afraid. Later, we followed him to the school and stopped the girl on the playground, but the girl was very powerful. In front of so many people, she not only rejected Wenbin, but also said a lot of ugly things. Wenbin was humiliated in public and felt embarrassed, so he ran away. That night we drank, Wenbin was drunk, and he took out a card. He said there was 20,000 yuan in the card, and whoever kidnapped the girl would get the money."
"Did you kidnap that girl?" Han Yun frowned.
"More than 20 years ago, 20,000 yuan was not a small sum, but I'm not interested in the money. Later, one of my subordinates found an abandoned factory and kidnapped the girl. I heard that Wenbin went there and had the girl raped. He got his revenge, but not long after, the girl jumped from the school building." Han Zibao spread his hands and said, "This incident seems to have left a psychological shadow on Wenbin. From then on, he was afraid to talk to girls and didn't dare to chase them."
"What happened later?" Yu Miaomiao looked a little angry when she heard what Han Zibao said.
"It didn't take long for Wenbin to spend all his money. He seemed to have left without graduating from technical secondary school. He didn't say goodbye to us when he left, and we don't know where he went." Han Zibao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said.
"Then when will I see him again?" Han Yun asked thoughtfully.
"It was a few years ago that he came to me. He said he got my contact information from a buddy, and we met in a bar. Xu Wenbin was in a very bad state, and he told me he needed a job. After all, I used to be his elder brother, and he followed me. Since he found me, I would definitely help. At the beginning, he arranged for me to work in another supermarket, but after working for a few days, people always reported that Xu Wenbin was a problematic person and always peeked at the female clerks." Han Zibao took a deep breath: "I transferred him to two supermarkets, and the same situation happened. Later, I told Wenbin that if this happened again, don't expect me to find him a job. Then he joined the current store and performed well, so after the manager left, I promoted him."
"It seems that Xu Wenbin listens to you quite well." Yu Miaomiao said.
"He has a fear of me, so he listens to me more." Han Zibao finished speaking and shook his head: "But I have no idea why he was killed. We are supposed to have turned over a new leaf and have no enemies."
"Excuse me, General Manager Han, are you also from Qingwan City?" Han Yun remembered what Chu Tian's second aunt said on the phone before, that she heard the villagers go to Qingwan City and saw Xu Wenbin hanging out with his eldest brother.
"Yes, my family is from there. Later, I spent a few years in prison and it was hard to find a job locally after I was released. Everyone knew me, so I came to Beidu to start from scratch." Han Zibao replied.
