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

Zhang Chao's family lives in an old and dilapidated residential area, but the housing prices here are not cheap.

Because Haizhou City has the best educational resources here, it is more convenient to live nearby.

Because of this, there are more elderly men and women living nearby, and neighbors are relatively more familiar with each other.

After listening to Huang Jianmin’s report in the morning, Lu Chuan arranged personnel to go to the scene to verify the relevant situation.

Chaos Palace.

"I ate the kumquats he planted a few days ago. The kumquats Zhang Chao sent were particularly good. They were made into water and then annealed. Many of us have eaten them. He is a very good person."

The owner of the Chaos Shop was deeply impressed by Zhang Chao Kumquat.

Wang Zhaokai then asked several other stores. Some of them didn’t know, but some of them had a deep impression.

There is no problem with what is described in the file. The results of the investigation by Huaguang Street Police Station are basically consistent with what Wang Chaokai has learned now.

However, as the investigation deepened, Wang Zhaokai discovered a problem.

Although these people have eaten Zhang Chengzhong's kumquats recently, it seems that they have not seen him for a long time.

Wang Zhaokai even checked the surveillance cameras of several supermarkets and wonton shops, but did not find Zhang Chao around the date they said.

On the other side, Chen Jiang began to investigate the situation of the nearby express delivery points.

They found all the express delivery notes signed by Zhang Chao, and then verified the relevant circumstances with the couriers.

At the same time, at Zhang Chao's home, Lu Chuan was discussing the relevant situation with Zhang Chao's wife Wang Meili.

Zhang Chao's house is not big, with two bedrooms and a living room.

“Is this the kumquat your husband planted?”

What is more eye-catching is that there is a thriving kumquat tree on the balcony, which is full of small oranges and looks very pleasing.

Wang Meili nodded.

"My husband likes to grow kumquats. When we got married, he brought this kumquat tree. Normally, this tree will produce a lot of oranges. We give some to our neighbors when we can't finish eating them."

Although the living room is not big and the balcony is even smaller, this kumquat tree occupies about 2/3 of the balcony.

Lu Chuan nodded. This was also the important reason why many neighbors said that Zhang Chao had always been there, because they had all eaten Zhang Chengzhong’s kumquats.

The two were chatting when a tall girl came in from outside.

"This is...your daughter?"

The little girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked very similar to Wang Meili, with a round face and very fair skin.

Wang Meili has a thin figure and a baby face, and her voice is very soft when she speaks.

"This is my daughter, she is now in her senior year of high school."

When Wang Meili talked about her daughter, there was a smile on her face that looked very happy.

But Wang Meili's daughter seemed to be rather timid. After seeing Lu Chuan coming, she did not stay in the living room for long, but went into her bedroom.

"Today is the weekend, and their school is closed."

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Your daughter should be attending Haizhou No. 3 Middle School, right?"

Haizhou No. 20 High School is one of the best high schools in Haizhou City. It has a high enrollment rate, and most of its students can get into undergraduate programs. About % of its students can get into key undergraduate schools or above. When talking about her daughter's school, Wang Meili felt more relaxed and learned about some of the family's situations from Lu Chuan.

It turned out that Zhang Chao and Wang Meili were remarriages, and Wang Meili remarried Zhang Chao when her child was 8 years old.

The relationship between the two has always been good after marriage, and Zhang Chao is also good to them, mother and daughter. He has worked hard to make money over the years, and finally bought this house in this old and dilapidated community a few years ago, allowing his daughter to go to the best school in Haizhou City.

"Will Zhang Chao offend anyone while working?"

Lu Chuan asked.

"This one……"

Wang Meili shook her head: "I don't ask too many questions about Lao Zhang's work, and he often travels on business, but Lao Zhang has a good personality and usually gets along well with his colleagues. He won't offend anyone, right?"

Regarding the situation of Zhang Chao's colleague, Sun Biao has already brought a team to the company where Zhang Chao works to find out the situation.

Lu Chuan then asked some other questions.

Gradually, I got to know Zhang Chao.

According to Wang Meili, Zhang Chao is a kind person who enjoys being with others, is good at helping others, and gets along well with people around him. This can be seen from the relationship between him and his neighbors.

In addition, Wang Meili and Zhang Chao did not remarry after their second marriage, and Zhang Chao did not have any children in his previous marriage.

It has been nearly 10 years since the two got married.

The afternoon's investigation was quickly concluded, and Lu Chuan called everyone back to the Criminal Police Brigade for a meeting to summarize the relevant situation.

"Let me tell you first."

Wang Zhaokai raised his hand first to talk about his investigation.

"I investigated some of Zhang Chao's neighbors and learned about Zhang Chao through them."

Wang Zhaokai continued, "According to what the neighbors said, Zhang Chao is a good person, generous and willing to help others. If the neighbors have any problems, he is willing to help you."

Then Wang Zhaokai picked up the file from the Huaguang Street Police Station.

"Just as the file says, Zhang Chao likes to give his kumquats to his neighbors. The neighbors are very impressed by this, but this is where the problem arises."

"When I was chatting with some neighbors around me, I found out that the kumquats they had been eating recently were given to them by Zhang Chao's wife, Wang Meili. If they think about it carefully, they haven't seen Zhang Chao for a while. And I checked some related surveillance and found that it was indeed Wang Meili herself who gave them the kumquats recently."

"It's just that when Wang Meili gave these kumquats to others, she would emphasize that they were her husband Zhang Chengzhong's oranges, so people felt that Zhang Chao was always there."

After listening to this, Lu Chuan looked at the other party and said, "Your situation is that Zhang Chao has actually been missing for a long time, but Wang Meili has been creating the illusion that he is not missing?"

Wang Zhaokai nodded affirmatively: "Indeed, I think this is the only explanation."

"Let me tell you about my situation, too."

Chen Jiang took out some express delivery slips.

"The investigation by the Huagong Street Police Station is not in-depth enough. I visited several express delivery points nearby. These express delivery points are covered by different express delivery companies. This is an area near Zhang Chao's home."

Chen Jiang showed everyone the express delivery slips he had brought back one by one.

"I checked all the express delivery orders related to Zhang Chao at the express company and found two problems." (End of this chapter)
