I am a super cop

Chapter 850 "Missing" Zhang Hui
Xiangyang Community, Building 9, Unit 3, Room 2.

When Gu Chen knocked on the door, there was a rush of footsteps inside.

The door opened to reveal a stylishly dressed young man.

"Hello, we are from the third team of criminal investigation of the Furong branch. Are you Zhang Fan?" Gu Chen asked.

"Are you... the policeman who answered the phone?" Zhang Fan obviously recognized Gu Chen's voice, and quickly opened the door to the maximum.

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and walked into the living room under Zhang Fan's guidance.

After Gu Chen looked around for a week, he found that this was an old room with an estimated age of 15 years.

However, compared to the large number of new buildings in Jiangnan City over the years, Xiangyang Community is considered an earlier high-end community.

Although the structure is simple, it has a large area and is transparent from north to south.

After roughly observing the shoe rack, Gu Chen sat down on the sofa, turned on the law enforcement recorder, and asked, "You said your sister disappeared two days ago?"

"That's right." Zhang Fan sat next to Gu Chen, nodded and said, "I don't know why my sister said she was going to work overtime at the company, but I just felt that the person who replied to me that night might not be the one at all." My sister."

"Speak slowly, don't worry." Gu Chen opened the notebook and began to record Zhang Fan.

Meanwhile, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha put on their gloves and began to check all parts of the room.

"It's like this. Two nights ago, I just came home from playing golf. After taking a shower, I sat on the sofa and watched TV, but I found a strange problem."

"Every day at this time, my sister starts to go to the bathroom to remove her make-up, and prepares to go back to her room to sleep, but there was no movement in my sister's room that night."

"So?" Gu Chen asked.

"So I went to my sister's room to check the situation, but when I opened the door, I found that my sister was not at home at all."

When Zhang Fan said this, he also scratched his head with both hands, looking lonely.

"Continue talking." Gu Chen said.

"Yeah." Zhang Fan nodded, and said again: "Later, I checked the bag my sister carried when she was going to work, and the shoes she usually wears to work, and found that they were not there."

"I wondered if it was because the company was working overtime too late? When I saw that the time was already 11 p.m., I was a little anxious at that time, so I quickly sent her a message."

"But later my sister replied that she may have to live and board in the company for a few days because of an emergency project of the company, so I asked me to leave her alone."

Speaking of this, Zhang Fan even took out his mobile phone, clicked on the dialogue between the two, and showed it to Gu Chen: "Look, this is the reply message from my sister Zhang Hui that night."

"I didn't pay attention to it at the time, so I replied to tell her to pay attention to rest, and told her that I was eating out these few days, and then I washed and went to bed."

"But since then, I occasionally sent messages to my sister, but she didn't reply. I thought it was because I was too busy at work, so I didn't care."

"But it wasn't until this morning that my sister's company came to look for her. I didn't know that my sister hadn't been to the company in the past two days, and the company didn't have any urgent projects at all."

"Are you sure that man is her company colleague?" Gu Chen asked him for confirmation.

Zhang Fan nodded: "It should be true. Before my sister's company team building, I was still in my sister's circle of friends. I met this man. He should be a colleague of my sister's company."

"That is to say, the person who sent you the message that night was another person? At that time, your sister may have been missing, either under the control of someone, or the phone was lost and found by others? But I think the former is more likely."

"Yes, I think so too." Zhang Fan seemed a little impatient, even a little at a loss.

After Gu Chen completed the records, he asked again: "Since the night she disappeared, has your sister ever returned home?"

"Comrade policeman, what do you mean?" Zhang Fan looked puzzled, and retorted, "My sister is missing, how could she come back?"

"Wait." Gu Chen directly raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Fan's speech, and said again: "I mean, there may be two types of your sister's disappearance, one is voluntary disappearance, and the other is passive disappearance. "

"Passive disappearance is well understood by us. It is nothing more than being controlled by others, restricting the freedom of life, being trapped in an unknown place, and there are objective factors in it."

"As for the voluntary disappearance, it is up to her to choose to disappear for a period of time. This is her subjective decision."

"But in view of the fact that there are not many clues at present, I can only evaluate these two possibilities. Can you understand?"

Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Zhang Fan was stunned, and then said: "I seem to understand, I... I'm not very clear whether my sister has come back or not."

"Aren't you at home all the time? It should be summer vacation now?" Lu Weiwei went back to the living room, sat next to Gu Chen and asked.

Zhang Fan lowered his head silently, but looked very cautious.

Gu Chen saw the trick, and asked him: "What? Is it convenient to say?"

"No...not." Zhang Fan looked up, but said nervously: "Because... because my sister is not at home these two days, so, since she said that day that she would not go home to sleep, I... I am alone People went to the bar to dance disco."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhang Fan said again: "As a result, I was drunk a lot by two girls, and I was very drunk. The next day, Auntie, the cleaning lady at the bar, found me under the sofa."

"That is to say, after you received the text message from your sister that day, you didn't go home that night?" Gu Chen asked.

Zhang Fan nodded: "I didn't go back."

"Then what time do you go home the next day?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhang Fan still shook his head: "I didn't go home the next day. I slept in a hotel all day long with a girl who I was friends with at the bar. I only got home at noon yesterday. After that, I ordered takeout. I never left the house again."

Gu Chen recorded these, and he probably knew Zhang Fan's activities.

The co-author Zhang Fan's time at home should be counted from noon yesterday.

In other words, counting from the night Zhang Hui disappeared to yesterday noon, Zhang Hui might have returned home, but Zhang Fan was not at home at that time.

However, this possibility is unlikely, and Gu Chen does not hold out much hope.

But judging from Zhang Hui's reply to his younger brother's news, it is obviously a deception, because the company has no urgent projects at all, which also shows that Zhang Hui may have been with other people that night.

And the person who sent the message to Zhang Fan may be the one who kidnapped Zhang Hui.

Gu Chen looked up and looked around, and asked, "Then, is there anything missing from your sister Zhang Hui?"

"This..." Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "My sister and I live together at night, and we rarely get in touch with each other."

"And my sister doesn't let me touch her things casually, and doesn't let me enter her room casually, so... I don't know what my sister has."

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan quickly added: "However, the red bag and the pair of flat shoes she carried at work are missing. These are her standard accessories for work."

"That is to say, when your sister disappeared, she might have been wearing a set of work clothes?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Zhang Fan nodded: "It should be."

"What kind exactly?" Lu Weiwei asked him.

"Just... a gray suit, the sleeveless one, because my sister has a good figure, and wearing this sleeveless suit shows off her figure."

Gu Chen recorded the information one by one according to Zhang Fan's dictation, then picked up the mobile phone on Zhang Fan's desk, found Zhang Hui's photo, and asked in front of Zhang Fan: "Is this your sister Zhang Hui?" ?”

"En." Zhang Fan nodded.

"It's pretty." Lu Weiwei looked at the photo with admiration, and then asked him, "Have you posted about the photo?"

"Uh... I added some whitening filters, and there are some face-lifting effects, and the eyes are enlarged. Others... don't seem to be there, because my sister usually looks like this."

Officer Wang glanced at it, and couldn't help complaining: "As long as the special effects are not too outrageous, it's fine, mainly for the convenience of our police to identify the parties."

"Yes, yes, you are right, but the similarity between this photo and her is about 80%."

"That's good." Police officer Wang nodded slightly, and said involuntarily: "Last time, a man said that his girlfriend cheated him out of a lot of money, and his girlfriend disappeared. Let us police help him find someone."

"As a result, our police found her in a rental house based on the identity information of the girlfriend provided by the man, but the photo provided by the man was completely different from the appearance of the woman in front of him."

"We were shocked at the time and thought we had caught the wrong person. Later, we found out that this woman has top-notch makeup skills, coupled with the beauty function of the mobile phone software, we can't recognize the same person at all."

"That won't be the case. My sister is very beautiful, even without a P picture. You can recognize her with this picture."

"That's good." Seeing Zhang Fan's confirmation, Officer Wang didn't hesitate anymore.

At this time, Gu Chen asked again: "Does your sister have any special relationship with anyone? For example... girlfriends? Colleagues? Or someone else? Like a boyfriend?"

"Well, you guys have to let me think about it." Zhang Fan didn't answer right away, but quickly fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhang Fan shook his head: "I haven't heard of anyone she has a particularly good relationship with, but I've seen a few times that someone drove her home in a white BMW 5 Series."

"Did you see who it is?" Gu Chen asked.

Zhang Fan shook his head: "How can you see clearly? That person didn't get out of the car, maybe...a company colleague or something?"

"Time." Gu Chen said.

"The time...maybe these two weeks, I forgot the exact date, but they usually arrive downstairs around 11pm."

"Then which company does your sister work for?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Huasheng... advertising design company." Zhang Fan said.

After Gu Chen recorded these clues, he stood up directly and continued to instruct: "What items have been lost in your home, you'd better count them again yourself, and tell us when you've finished counting."

"In addition, we are going to investigate her company to see who she has been close to recently. After all, gossip in the company is also the best source of clues."

"That's true." Zhang Fan nodded silently, agreeing with Gu Chen's opinion.

Gu Chen turned around and said to Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, call Senior Brother He and ask him to find out which white BMW 10 Series have visited Xiangyang Community in the past two weeks, from 5:[-] pm to early morning. The appearance of the driver is retrieved."

"Understood." Of course, Lu Weiwei understood what Gu Chen meant, so she took out her mobile phone and started contacting He Junchao in the three groups of offices.

But Gu Chen said to Zhang Fan: "Remember what I said, and check the items in the house again, because only you know best which items in the house are abnormal."

"Okay, got it." Zhang Fan nodded silently, and then sent everyone to the door.

After going downstairs, Gu Chen casually asked Yuan Shasha, "Xiao Yuan, did you find anything unusual at Zhang Fan's house?"

"No." Yuan Shasha shook her head like a rattle, and she denied it: "there is nothing special about the house, but things are a bit messy. They should really clean the room."

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.

But when Gu Chen led everyone out of the unit building, an old lady was carrying vegetables, as if she had just returned home from shopping.

She just stood there staring at the police car downstairs.

Gu Chen stepped forward and unlocked the car, and the old lady was stunned for a while, thinking: "What's going on? Why are there police here? Whose house has been burglarized?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen opened the car door and stopped moving.

Afterwards, Gu Chen closed the car door again, walked up to the old lady and asked, "Old lady, do you live here?"

"That's right, I live in this unit." The old lady pointed to Unit 2 next to Zhang Fan's house.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and then asked: "Do you know Zhang Hui from Unit 3, Room 2?"

"I know, of course I do. They are all neighbors, how could they not know each other?" The old lady thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Could it be that her house was burglarized? What was lost?"

Gu Chen shook his head and smiled: "It's not that things are lost, but people are lost."

"Missing him?" The old lady was astonished, and she didn't understand why she said, "How could this man be lost? According to what you mean, it's that girl Zhang Hui who lost it?"

"That's what it means." Gu Chen adjusted his equipment belt, and then said: "Zhang Hui has been missing for the past few days, and her brother called the police."

"What? Zhang Hui is missing?" The old lady became shocked again when she heard the words: "This is wrong, I saw her go to work a day ago, how could she disappear?"

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, it was Gu Chen's turn to be astonished.

Gu Chen frowned slightly, and continued to ask her: "Old lady, you just said... Zhang Hui went to work a day ago?"

"That's right, I saw her rushing to work the morning before. Why did she disappear suddenly?"

"No." Gu Chen interrupted the old lady again, and asked: "Zhang Hui disappeared two days ago, how did you see her a day ago? Did you remember something wrong? Why don't you think about it again ?”

"Hey, do you mean I'm an idiot?" Although the old lady was a little angry, she looked at Gu Chen's handsome face, so she lowered her tone and said softly:

"How could I lie to you? I do grocery shopping every other day. That day I went out to do the grocery shopping early in the morning and met Zhang Hui on the way. Is it a lie?"

"Then... Could it be that you have identified the wrong person?" Lu Weiwei, who stepped forward, couldn't help but give her own opinion.

The old lady waved her hand: "How could I have misunderstood the person? Zhang Hui usually wears that set of overalls to work, and also carries a red bag on her back, and her big waves dyed golden. This is clearly Zhang Hui."

"But Zhang Hui..."

Lu Weiwei just wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Gu Chen.

Gu Chen stepped forward and said softly, "Old lady, think about it carefully, is there any difference between the Zhang Hui you saw that day and usual?"

"Differences? Is there? Well... it seems to be a little bit?" The old lady seemed to be caught in the memory.

Gu Chen hurriedly comforted: "No hurry, let's think about it slowly, and you can say whatever comes to your mind."

It seems that the old lady does not seem to be forgetful, at least she is very strong, she speaks with a strong voice, and her body looks very healthy.

Perhaps from the mouth of the old lady, you can also get some unexpected gains.

The old lady hesitated again and again before confirming: "If there is anything unusual, there is a little bit."

"You said." Gu Chen took out his notebook and asked.

The old lady looked up and recalled: "Maybe she was in a hurry to go to work, so she walked very fast that day. I greeted her, but she ignored me, probably because it was too late."

"That's all?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"That's right." The old lady nodded silently, and continued: "Actually, there is nothing strange about it, but Zhang Hui has a strong sense of time, and she never presses time to go to work. She can always give Take some free time for yourself."

"But that day was very different. I felt rushed. I can't say what's wrong, but I'm sure it's Zhang Hui."

The old lady's remarks caught the attention of other police officers including Gu Chen.

According to Zhang Hui's brother Zhang Fan, Zhang Hui did disappear two nights ago.

But Zhang Fan had a problem that he couldn't confirm, that is, he was hanging out outside that night until noon yesterday, and never returned home.

During this period of time, it has become a mystery whether Zhang Hui has ever returned.

In addition, in Xiangyang Community, due to the unhappiness between the residents and the property, they owed a large amount of property fees.

Therefore, in a fit of rage, the property removed all the monitoring in the community and the monitoring at the surrounding intersections.

As a result, the Xiangyang community is actually a monitoring blind spot, and it is difficult for Gu Chen to judge whether the old lady is telling the truth.

However, it can be known from Zhang Fan's oral record that Zhang Hui has not been to the company for work in the past two days, so there is no such thing as going to work in a hurry in the morning.

Gu Chen frowned, and said truthfully to the old lady: "Old lady, to tell you the truth, Zhang Hui hasn't been at work for the past two days, and her company's colleagues have been looking for her desperately for the past two days, but they haven't found Zhang Hui yet. trail."

"So you said that you saw Zhang Hui who was in a hurry the morning before. This is very important for our case investigation. Please be cautious and truthful."

"That's for sure. I'm not lying. I did see Zhang Hui the morning before."

In order to show that she didn't lie, the old lady even raised her hand and swore: "If you don't believe me, I can swear to God, every word I said here is true enough, I didn't lie."

Listening to the old lady's speech, Gu Chen suddenly became entangled.

After all, the old lady and Zhang Fan insisted on their own opinions, and there were loopholes in the clues. Gu Chen didn't know who to believe for a while.

But Gu Chen has another choice, which is to investigate Zhang Hui's colleagues.

Sometimes, the gossip between colleagues can even talk about how your seventh uncle and grandpa proposed marriage back then.

Of course, both the old lady and Zhang Fan may also be suspected of lying, which needs to be verified.

Therefore, Gu Chen's most urgent request now is to integrate the fragmented clues as soon as possible, and strive to find the missing Zhang Hui as soon as possible.
