The Case of Love

Chapter 61 The Woman in the Cave
"Captain Zhou, in addition to this message, I also found that Feng Yong had several conversations with a mobile phone number before he disappeared, but each time the conversation was not long. But this is a virtual number, and we can't find who the owner is." Su Xiaohan wanted to start with the contacts Feng Yong had before he disappeared.

"Besides this, who else did you talk to?" Zhou Yifeng asked.

"Also with his family, and several people from Yunjia Company." Su Xiaohan responded.

"Call these people and ask them what they said at that time. Is there anything abnormal about Feng Yong?" Zhou Yifeng arranged.

"Yes, Captain Zhou, I'll ask right away!" Su Xiaohan said.

"Zhisong, you and Ma Nan go check the trajectory of the car driven by Feng Yong to see where he went before he disappeared?" Zhou Yifeng said to Li Zhisong.

"Yes, boss!" Li Zhisong agreed and left.

Feng Yong’s mysterious disappearance made Zhou Yifeng think that he might have been murdered, but he needed evidence to verify his judgment.

Just when they were busy, the Criminal Investigation Brigade received a case transferred from the W Village Police Station in the suburbs of Beijing. Two hikers who were hiking in P Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing accidentally found a cave while taking a rest on the mountain. In the cave, there was a woman lying, her hands and feet were tied, she was unconscious, her clothes were disheveled, and all the exposed parts of her body were injured. The police from the W Village Police Station suspected that the woman was illegally imprisoned or trafficked, and reported the case to the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

"It's really one crisis after another. Ma Chungang's case hasn't been resolved yet, and another case comes up!" Li Zhisong sighed after listening to Zhou Yifeng telling them the general situation.

"Yeah, what's going on recently? Why are there so many things going on?"

Zhu Xiaofeng and the others were also helpless. Only Su Xiaohan remained silent, as if she was thinking about something.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Please report on the investigation of Feng Yong!" Zhou Yifeng rubbed his eyebrows subconsciously. The high-intensity work in recent days gave him a headache.

"Let me speak first! Ma Nan and I checked the surveillance footage and discovered that Feng Yong had met with Lu Xiaotian alone about a week before he disappeared. Lu Xiaotian got into his car, the two talked for a while, and then Lu Xiaotian got out." Li Zhisong reported first.

"I also found the call records between Feng Yong and Lu Xiaotian, and the time is about the same as the time they met." Su Xiaohan continued to report.

"The time you mentioned is about the same as the time when Lu Xiaotian was killed. Maybe Lu Xiaotian's death is related to Feng Yong." Zhou Yifeng inferred.

"Not only that, Captain Zhou, I also found out that Feng Yong and Lu Xiaotian had a conversation before Ma Chungang was killed." Su Xiaohan continued.

Zhou Yifeng thought for a moment and ordered, "Zhisong, go check again to see if Feng Yong and Lu Xiaotian met in the two days before Ma Chungang was killed."

Li Zhisong understood what he meant and agreed to leave the meeting room and go to the monitoring hall with Ma Nan.

Zhou Yifeng leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief. This case was too complicated, but he finally had some clues.

Seeing the tiredness on Zhou Yifeng's face, Su Xiaohan said softly: "Captain Zhou, you should go and have a rest. We will continue to investigate according to your ideas."

"Yes, Captain Zhou, you haven't had a rest for two days and two nights. Go get some sleep!" Zhu Xiaofeng and Xu Jungang echoed.

Zhou Yifeng glanced at them and forced a smile, "Okay, I'll go get some sleep, you guys continue investigating, call me anytime if there's anything else!"

"Don't worry, Captain Zhou!" "Don't worry, Boss!"

Su Xiaohan and the other two said in unison.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Yifeng still felt uneasy, and told Su Xiaohan: "Xiaohan, go contact the W Village Police Station, find out more about the woman's situation, and confirm her identity as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Boss, I'll contact them right away!" Su Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yifeng with pity.

After watching Zhou Yifeng enter the lounge and close the door, Su Xiaohan called the W Village Police Station. According to the police, after the woman was taken to the police station, she just looked at them blankly and said nothing. At present, the woman has been sent to Beijing Central Hospital for a mental examination. They suspect that the woman may be mentally abnormal due to severe stimulation.

After a while, Su Xiaohan received a photo of the woman sent by police officer Xiao Dong, and her heart suddenly sank. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw the woman's sunken eyes and sallow face. She couldn't imagine what she had endured to become what she was now.

"Xiao Dong, have you checked the reports of missing persons in W Village?" Su Xiaohan sent a message.

"Sister Su, I've checked, and I've also asked around in the village. This woman is probably not from W Village, and no one knows her." Xiao Dong replied quickly.

The woman was not from W Village, but was found on the mountain in W Village. Obviously, she was hidden here. Although she looked abused, she was still alive, which showed that someone regularly brought her food. So, if we stay near the cave, can we find the person who tortured her?

Thinking of this, Su Xiaohan called Xiaodong and told him her thoughts.

"Sister Su, we have sent people to guard there for three days, but no one has gone into the cave yet. I guess that person may know that we took the woman in the cave away, so he dare not show up." Xiao Dong responded quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaohan was in a dilemma. She couldn't just sit there and wait, so she could only start with this woman. Looking at the woman's photo, she didn't have the confidence to quickly determine her identity. She thought that the woman had been tortured like this, even if there was a photo of her in the database, it would probably be difficult to match.

Seeing Su Xiaohan's worried look, Zhu Xiaofeng said, "Xiaohan, let's check for people who have been reported missing in recent years. Maybe we can find something."

Su Xiaohan smiled gratefully and nodded to him, "Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng!"

"It's my duty!" After saying that, Zhu Xiaofeng pulled Xu Jungang out of the office.

She was the only one left in the huge office, and it was exceptionally quiet. She could vaguely hear snoring coming from the lounge. She walked to the door of the lounge, pushed it open a crack, and saw Zhou Yifeng sleeping, but he was not covered with anything. She turned back to the office, took the blanket she used for naps, and gently covered him with it.

When she was about to leave, her arm was suddenly grabbed by Zhou Yifeng, and she vaguely heard him say "Don't go!"

Su Xiaohan was stunned. What did he mean by this? In an instant, her heartbeat accelerated and her mind went blank.

Zhou Yifeng held her arm, showing no sign of waking up. Su Xiaohan looked down at him, not knowing whether she should forcefully pull her hand out.

She found that Zhou Yifeng's expression had changed, like a calm lake being rippled by the wind. He frowned, and the big hand holding her arm had a little more strength.

"Brother, don't go! Brother..."
