Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

After Huang Jianmin hung up the phone, he took all the information and two policemen and rushed to the Criminal Police Brigade.

In the conference room, Huang Jianmin personally reported on the relevant case investigation progress.

"We received this missing person case a week ago, but we didn't file a case at that time because the person who reported the case was the missing person's parents, but the missing person's wife who accompanied them said that the missing person was not missing."

Afterwards, Huang Jianmin gave a detailed report on the investigation results of Huaguang Street Police Station over the past week.

The missing person is called Zhang Chao.

According to information provided by Zhang Chao's parents, they have not seen their son for nearly a year. Although they can sometimes call him or even send him WeChat messages, they have never met Zhang Chao in person.

"We learned about the situation in detail. When Zhang Chao's parents called him, they were able to get through, but the call was never answered. Zhang Chao would hang up every time and then send a text message to his parents, saying that he was either in a meeting or driving. In short, he was always busy."

Huang Jianmin went on to say: "As for the WeChat chats, we checked his parents' WeChat chat records and found that Zhang Chao never used voice or video chats with them, but only text messages."

This is also the reason why Zhang Chao’s parents came to the police station to report the case.

While listening to Huang Jianmin's report, Lu Chuan was flipping through the files compiled by the Huaguang Street Police Station.

"What did his wife say?"

Huang Jianmin shook his head: "This is where the problem lies."

"We checked all the information about Zhang Chao. We checked all his bank statements and phone records over the past year. They are all normal."

What Huang Jianmin meant by normal was that Zhang Chao’s circle of friends would regularly post some of his life status, sometimes some landscape photos, sometimes some texts.

This is very similar to some of his previous habits, because Zhang Chao never posts his selfies on WeChat Moments.

In addition, Zhang Chao’s bank statements showing salary income and some income and expenditure are not much different from usual.

"Also, we checked Zhang Chao's call records. He and his wife would call each other every one or two days. Sometimes the calls were long and sometimes short. He would also talk to other people."

"In addition, we conducted surveys and interviews with Zhang Chao's neighbors, and they all said that Zhang Chao was always at home."

Although these people are not familiar with Zhang Chao, they can occasionally hear some news about Zhang Chao.

If a person has been missing for a year and cannot be found, it will cause such a big impact on the people around him.

Lu Chuan was also looking at some of the things described in the file.

Zhang Chao has a kind personality and gets along well with his neighbors. Many people know him.

Moreover, Zhang Chao usually likes to drink kumquats, which are very good at relieving internal heat when soaked in water. He often gives the kumquat water to his neighbors.

"We checked and found that he did grow a lot of kumquats. Some of our neighbors are still drinking orange juice and they said they were grown by him."

The reason why it was difficult for Huaguang Street Police Station to solve the case was that there were polarized investigation results on whether Zhang Chao was missing.

Zhang Chao's parents have not seen their son for a year. He never speaks when they call him, hangs up every time, and never video chats with them or sends them photos of him when they send WeChat messages.

So they concluded that their son was missing, otherwise his son would not have not returned home for a year.

However, the investigation of Zhang Chao's family and the surrounding neighbors showed that he had been living near them for the past year. Although everyone did not have a particularly deep impression, it seemed as if Zhang Chao had spoken to them yesterday.

Another thing is the reaction of Zhang Chao’s wife.

"Zhang Chao's wife is his second wife. She married Zhang Chao 10 years ago and had a daughter with her."

Huang Jianmin investigated the situation of Zhang Chao and his wife, and learned from the neighbors that the relationship between the two was relatively harmonious and they never quarreled, at least the neighbors had not heard it.

"According to Zhang Chao's wife, Zhang Chao has been living with them for the past year, but he has been on a lot of business trips and has been away from home a lot. He used to be away from home as well."

Among the files there is a transcript of Zhang Chao's wife, which he went to Sichuan to study word by word.

Based on what Zhang Chao's wife said, the Huaguang Street Police Station did a lot of work, but found that Zhang Chao seemed to have been living with them for the past year.

For example, Zhang Chao’s wife took out a lot of express delivery receipts, all of which were signed by Zhang Chao himself.

Moreover, the time has been relatively continuous from last year to now, with about one or two similar orders every month.

"We have checked the relevant notes, and the signature on them is indeed Zhang Chao's own signature."

There were also photo comparisons in the file. Lu Chuan took a look and although the handwriting was rather sloppy, it should have been signed by one person.

"After Zhang Chao's parents reported the case, we called Zhang Chao himself and have been trying to get in touch with him. But we have not been able to contact Zhang Chao since that day, which is the day we reported the case."

This is another reason why the Huaguang Street Police Station reported the case.

Zhang Chao’s disappearance can now be said to be confirmed, but the time of his disappearance is problematic.

According to the current investigation results, Zhang Chao was there for the entire last year.

However, the other party disappeared from the day his parents reported the case.

"We have been investigating for a week. During this week, Zhang Chao's phone has not dialed any number. His bank transactions have also stopped. There has been no expenditure or income in the past two days. There is nothing. We don't know where this person has gone."

"According to Zhang Chao's wife, when he left home that morning, he said he would go home for dumplings at noon. Zhang Chao's wife made dumplings stuffed with chives and waited for him, but Zhang Chao did not come, but Zhang Chao's parents did."

"Later, Zhang Chao's wife followed Zhang Chao's parents to the Huaguang Street Police Station."

After Huang Jianming finished his report, Lu Chuan had already flipped through the file twice, and the whole feeling was a little unbelievable.

As Huang Jianmin said, the whole case seems very divided, and Zhang Chao seems to live in two worlds.

In the world of his wife and neighbors, Zhang Chao has always been there and is living a good life, not much different from usual.

But in the eyes of his parents and some other relatives, Zhang Chao had not contacted them for a year, as if he had disappeared.

Although there was some communication on WeChat from time to time, I never heard from Zhang Chao again, nor did I see him in person.

Even during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Zhang Chao did not go back to his parents' home to reunite. (End of this chapter)
