Although Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze were not police detectives, as members of the Special Forces, they still had basic criminal investigation training.
They followed Xiao Zhao from the detective agency to Tan Guiren's dormitory. There wasn't even a seal on the door, nor was there a yellow line warning.
The door was unlatched, as if anyone could enter or come out at any moment.
Huo Shaoheng covered his mouth with his hand and coughed. He asked Xiao Zhao calmly, "Did you report the case or not?"
"Of course she did. The Tans have a relative in New York who keeps in touch with Miss Tan. This time, he called and texted Miss Tan, but Miss Tan didn't reply. He was worried, so he came to check on her, but he couldn't knock on her door. I asked her classmate next door and found out that she hasn't come out for two days and didn't go to class. " Xiao Zhao sighed and shook his head. "I've seen the photos. She's a very beautiful girl. She looks like a little fairy …"
Huo Shaoheng was slightly taken aback. "… So when you discovered she was missing, she hadn't appeared for two days?"
In that case, wouldn't Tan Guiren's disappearance be delayed by two days?
In other words, she had been missing for eight days, not six …
Xiao Zhao awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Maybe. We only got the news two days ago that the country is sending people over to follow this case."
If it weren't for the fact that Tan Guiren's father, Tan Dongbang, had become a popular candidate for the Prime Minister election this time, Tan Guiren's case wouldn't have received so much attention in the country.
Zhao Liangze quietly took out a device and scanned the area. There were no hidden listening devices, but there was a camera in the corner of the hallway. It was probably monitoring the dormitory hallway.
Zhao Liangze looked at the camera and tugged at Huo Shaoheng's arm, showing him only where the camera was.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at it casually and walked a few steps towards the camera.
"By the way, Little Zhao, how did you determine that she went missing in the house?" Zhao Liangze put away the equipment and asked the question on both his and Huo Shaoheng's minds.
If it was because she had not contacted him for two days, then how could he conclude that she had gone missing in the dormitory?
Xiao Zhao saw what Huo Shaoheng was doing and quickly said, "You guys noticed too, right? There were cameras over there that monitored the corridor 24 hours a day. The police found evidence from the surveillance video that Miss Tan never came out after she entered the dormitory. Then her relatives called the police. The police took the school's spare key and opened the door. They found no one in the house. "
When Huo Shaoheng heard what Xiao Zhao said, he walked back and said, "Then can we go in and take a look?"
"That's right." Xiao Zhao enthusiastically pushed open Tan Guiren's dorm door and invited Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze in.
Huo Shaoheng looked into the house from the door.
It was a very narrow single dormitory, about ten square meters or so.
There was a twin-sized single bed against the wall. The bed was covered with clean, pinstriped sheets, and there were a few furry teddy bear dolls. There was also a unique yellow floral clock hanging on the wall next to the bed. The time on the clock was in the direction of eight o 'clock.
Directly opposite the door was a window, and under the window was a desk. The laptop on the desk was already black.
Opposite the bed was a simple and elegant dressing table.
The wallpaper on the room's walls was very old. It used to be a rose pattern, but the color had faded, giving it a decadent beauty.
Every inch of the room showed the historical style of the nearly hundred-year-old school.
There was also a small storage room that had been converted into a walk-in closet.
Walking in, they saw the luxury that contrasted with the simplicity of the outside.
A few Hermès bucket bags were on the rack, and a few pairs of Stuart-Weitzman boots were messily placed.
The dresses and trousers hanging on the hangers were all famous brands.
Tan Guiren's rich and respectable status could only be seen from this walk-in closet.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the walk-in closet and walked away, leaving Zhao Liangze to take pictures of every corner of the place.
Xiao Zhao from the detective agency took Huo Shaoheng around Tan Guiren's dorm and gestured. "There's only so much space here. It's a square room. Where do you think she could have gone? Did she disappear into thin air? "
Huo Shaoheng didn't speak. He walked to the window and carefully examined it.
The window was sealed. In order to install central air conditioning in old houses like the United States, many windows had to be sealed. Otherwise, they would have to replace all the windows with new ones, which would cost a lot of money.
Juilliard definitely didn't want to or couldn't afford the money, so the windows were sealed.
Sealing the window had an advantage for this case. It could eliminate the possibility of Tan Guiren leaving through the window.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the window for a while and reached out with a transparent glove. He gently wiped the beam of the window and left a fingermark there. There was a lot of dust on the window, which proved that no one had touched it.
He turned around and walked around the room again, but still didn't see any signs of a struggle or struggle.
Could it be that people really disappeared into thin air here?
This was simply too inconceivable.
But when he thought about how the mysterious magnetic field had appeared, it didn't seem too strange.
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and rubbed his chin beside the door in deep thought.
Zhao Liangze had already taken out a professional high-resolution camera and video camera to take pictures of the entire place. He didn't even miss the tiny bathroom.
The three of them had just finished their investigation when loud footsteps and shouts came from the door.
"Move, move! The police are here! "
"This place needs to be cleared. Unrelated people, please leave!"
"Huh? Why is the door here open? Did someone go in? "
As they spoke, a burly police officer pushed open the door to Tan Guiren's room and was shocked to see three Asians standing in her room.
"Who are you? How can you be at a crime scene?! "The police officer's expression immediately changed as he yelled at them.
Little Zhao from the detective agency immediately walked over and took out his ID and business card. "Hello, I am an employee of the detective agency hired by the parents of the missing Miss Tan. We are here to search for clues according to the law."
The police officer's expression softened when he heard that they were hired by Tan Guiren's parents, but he still waved his arms like he was shooing away chickens. "Go, go. This place will be sealed from today onwards. Don't get involved in a police case. "
"The police are actually sealing this place?" Little Zhao also found it strange. How many days had it been? They were only sealing it today? Didn't they think it was too late?
The police officer blushed at the question and pretended not to understand Little Zhao's meaning. He said loudly, "We have a new clue, so we have to reinvestigate the case!"
"A new clue? What new clue? Can you explain it briefly? " Little Zhao immediately chased after the police officer. "I was hired by Miss Tan's parents, so I have the right to know your new clue."
What new clue did the police have?
They were just casually chasing them away.
The only clue they had was the discovery that Tan Guiren's parents were newly rich in the Hua Xia Empire.
"I can't share the police information with you right now. If you want to know the specifics, watch the press conference tomorrow." Officer A walked in with his belly bulging, followed by a group of new police officers who had just enrolled in the police academy.
He raised his arm and ordered, "Go into the room and look for clues carefully! Find them even if you have to dig through the room! "
The police officers swarmed in and immediately filled the room.
Huo Shaoheng, Zhao Liangze, and Little Zhao from the detective agency immediately retreated.
Looking at the police officers running around like headless flies, the originally tidy dormitory instantly became dirty and messy. Little Zhao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and whisper, "How are we going to find any clues like this?"
Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze thought the same, but they didn't say anything. They just quietly watched the police officers mess around in Tan Guiren's dorm.
After more than ten minutes, when there was nothing left to do, Officer A finally waved for them to come out. At the same time, he put a seal on the door and locked the dorm.
Little Zhao walked over to negotiate with him. "Mr. Officer, this place is locked. What if we come back to find evidence?"
"The police are working on a case now, so you don't have to be so busy." Officer A didn't want anyone else to interfere.
Little Zhao couldn't be bothered with him and sneered. "We have a power of attorney. Are you sure you want to sue us all the way to the intermediate circuit court?"
