"Manager Han doesn't seem to have understood me. I'm asking Manager Han, how did your relationship with Han Mo develop to that point?" Wang Shen wasn't satisfied with Han Lin's answer and repeated his question.

Han Lin looked somewhat embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "At first, I didn't even know that she was friends with our CEO Qi. Until one day, our store received another order from her. The store was so busy that day that we couldn't spare any staff to deliver the food. And she is indeed a big customer of our store, so I had no choice but to deliver the food myself that day."

At this point, Han Lin paused, got up, poured himself a glass of water, and then drank most of it in one gulp. He put down the glass, took a breath, and continued, "That day, I went to deliver food to her address. When I arrived at her house, I rang the doorbell, and she opened the door shortly after. She was wearing a thin nightgown. She seemed a little surprised to see me and asked why I had personally delivered the food. She seemed to know I was the restaurant manager, which surprised me; perhaps President Qi had told her. Seeing the sad expression on her face, I originally intended to leave immediately after delivering the food. But unexpectedly, she invited me in to sit for a while."

Han Lin sighed, picked up the water glass on the table, and drank the water in one gulp. "She's very beautiful, and has a great figure. I don't know why I agreed to her invitation, and then I went inside. Not long after we went in, we chatted for a while, and then she suddenly started crying. I only wanted to say a few words of comfort, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to turn out like that. However, before this, we had absolutely no connection." After recounting the whole incident, Han Lin didn't forget to add this last sentence.

"You said that when you first went to deliver food, Han Mo seemed very sad?" Wang Shen was only interested in this sentence that Han Lin said.

“That’s right, her eyes were a little red. You could tell she must have cried before,” Han Lin replied confidently.

Did she say what made her sad?

Han Lin shook his head. "No. Officer Wang, as I've already said, that was truly the first time we crossed paths. We weren't even close friends; at most, she was a source of comfort during my times of distress. So, how could she possibly confide her sorrows to me?"

"When you went to her house that time, did you find anything belonging to a stranger?" Wang Shen suddenly remembered that Han Lin's first visit to Han Mo's house was before Han Mo's case. At that time, there should still be many readily available clues in Han Mo's house.

"No, maybe. But I was in a daze at the time, how could I have paid attention to anything from strangers?" Han Lin shook his head as he answered Wang Shen's question.

"Okay, let's talk about the second delivery, which was on the night of Han Mo's incident. Manager Han, please answer my first question: were there enough staff in the store when Han Mo ordered the food on the day of the incident?"

Han Lin glanced at Wang Shen, thought for a moment, and then nodded solemnly.

"If that's the case, why are you delivering food? You could have sent other employees."

Faced with Wang Shen's question, Han Lin didn't know whether he should tell the truth. "Officer Wang, we're all men, who wouldn't want a free lunch, right?" Han Lin's face showed a lewd look, but he quickly returned to his sanctimonious state.

Wang Shen smiled and nodded. To be honest, Han Lin's reason was quite reasonable. "Okay, I believe you. But Manager Han, I'd like to know more about your delivery experience that day. Was your delivery experience the same as what A-Cheng described?"

Han Lin nodded and said, "Yes, I recounted the entire food delivery process to Acheng, so Acheng's testimony is also correct."

Wang Shen flipped through his notebook, reviewing Acheng's entire account of the food delivery process that day. "Manager Han, are you sure you couldn't get into Han Mo's room that day?"

"That's right. When I arrived, the door was locked, and no matter how many times I rang the doorbell, no one answered. Later, I tried calling Han Mo's cell phone, but no one answered. However, I could hear the phone ringing inside the house while I was standing outside the door. After waiting for a long time, I got impatient and decided to leave. As I was leaving, I bumped into the man with the scar on his face in the hallway. Other than that, I didn't see Han Mo at all."

"If that's the case, why did you ask A-Cheng to give false testimony? You could have just told the truth." Wang Shen glanced at Han Lin with a questioning look.

"Tell the truth? I happened to be delivering food to Han Mo's house the night of the incident, and I also had a relationship with her. If the police find out about this, wouldn't I be making trouble for myself? What if, by some chance, the real culprit isn't caught, and I become a scapegoat? Besides, what I had A-Cheng relay was all true." Han Lin was usually a cautious person, always considering the worst possible outcome and nipping it in the bud. These words from Han Lin were sincere.

“Manager Han, you really are overthinking it,” Wang Shen replied to Han Lin’s concerns while taking notes in his notebook. Wang Shen reviewed Han Lin’s statement about Han Mo’s case again. Although some parts were still debatable, the logic of the entire interview was sound.

"These are all the questions I have regarding Han Mo's case. I'm truly grateful for Manager Han's cooperation." Wang Shen smiled at Han Lin, expressing his gratitude.

Hearing Wang Shen's words, Han Lin stood up from the sofa as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, preparing to see the guest out. "Then, Officer Wang, I won't keep you..."

"Manager Han, don't worry. Han Mo's case is temporarily closed. Now we can get down to business." Wang Shen showed no intention of leaving. He looked at Han Lin standing in front of him and smiled.

Upon hearing this, the slight smile that had appeared on Han Lin's face vanished instantly. "Officer Wang, please ask whatever you have to ask," Han Lin said, taking a pack of cigarettes from his drawer.

Han Lin took a cigarette from the pack and offered it to Wang Shen. Wang Shen smiled and waved his hand. So, Han Lin put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it.

"First, there's the incriminating evidence against your CEO Qi mentioned in the recording. I'd like to know what kind of incriminating evidence you have against your CEO Qi?" Wang Shen's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was very calm.

However, after hearing Wang Shen's question, Han Lin's amiable expression vanished. Han Lin took a few deep drags on his cigarette, then exhaled a few smoke rings before saying, "No comment." With that, Han Lin placed an ashtray beside him and tossed his cigarette butt into it.

Wang Shen did not continue to press Han Lin verbally, but waited for him to calm down.
