Using the name of the city's Criminal Investigation Team to investigate the case, the communication company's efficiency was very high.
When it was close to noon, a list of Zhao Xiaoshan's contacts was sent over.
This was a call record for nearly half a month. From January 16th to January 31st, there were nearly a hundred calls in total.
On average, there were nearly seven calls a day.
There were about twenty people in contact.
Han Bin compared the names of every contact, but did not find Ran Cuie and Ma Mingren. However, he found the name of another person related to the case.
Chen Xia.
She was Ning Yuerong's mother, and also Zhao Xiaoshan's future mother-in-law.
Of course, this mother-in-law had to be added in quotation marks, because she did not really like Zhao Xiaoshan, and it was not certain whether or not she would succeed.
Through his communication with Ning Yuerong, Han Bin discovered that Chen Xia and Zhao Xiaoshan had only met once. Logically speaking, the two of them should not be familiar with each other, but in the past half a month, the two of them had called six times.
This was definitely not as simple as an ordinary greeting.
The last time the two of them spoke was on January 30th. It was Chen Xia who called Zhao Xiaoshan, and the next day, Zhao Xiaoshan disappeared.
This made Chen Xia's suspicions rise even higher.
Han Bin found Ma Jingbo and explained the situation to him.
Ma Jingbo had also seen Chen Xia before, and had a deep impression of that woman: "This Chen Xia thinks too highly of herself, if he knew that Zhao Xiaoshan is a beautician, he would definitely think of a way to separate the two of them."
"I want to meet Chen Xia and give her a statement." Han Bin suggested.
"Is there a Ma Mingren couple in Zhao Xiaoshan's contact list?"
"No."
Ma Jingbo thought for a moment: "Go, even if that woman is not a suspect, she might know someone."
Han Bin packed up and left the office with Zhao Ming.
"Brother Bin, where are we going?"
"To Ning Yuerong's house."
"Why did you give Ning Yuerong a statement again? Is there something wrong with this woman?"
"There's something wrong with her mother."
"What happened to her mother?" Zhao Ming's curiosity was piqued.
A small part of the reason why Zhao Ming became a police officer was driven by curiosity.
"Chen Xia and Zhao Xiaoshan have always been in contact. In half a month, the two of them have spoken six times."
"F * ck me." Zhao Ming's expression was a little strange, and his imagination went wild: "Could it be that Chen Xia and Zhao Xiaoshan already knew each other?"
"What do you mean?"
"If one day Chen Xia found out that her daughter had a boyfriend, she would be both happy and worried, so she urged her daughter to bring her boyfriend home, so at the end of the year, Ning Yuerong brought Zhao Xiaoshan to visit her parents. In the end, when Chen Xia saw Zhao Xiaoshan, she was dumbfounded, isn't this the beautician who served him before?"
The more Zhao Ming thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. "Oh my, if I'm right, then I'll be in big trouble."
Han Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You've been watching Conan recently?"
"Hehe, I'm different from Brother Hui. I've been waiting for the sequel to the White Night Chase, and I don't know if it can continue the quality of the previous one. I'm still a little nervous, and I'm looking forward to the sequel being released as soon as possible, but I'm also worried about the continuation of the dog tail.
The two of them chatted casually. The yard had just been disinfected, and there was a strong smell of disinfectant. It was pungent even through the mask.
In the past, he would have dodged to the side, but now, it made him feel at ease.
The SUV stopped near the entrance. Just as the two of them were walking over, a car stopped at the entrance of the Yu Hua Sub-Bureau. A man got out of the car, wearing a grayish-green jacket. He took out a box from the trunk and quickly ran towards the sub-bureau's courtyard.
Because of the explosion a while ago, the police officers were more or less on guard due to their occupational diseases.
Han Bin and Zhao Ming also stared at the man carrying the box.
After the man ran into the sub-bureau, he didn't go far before he placed the box on the ground and shouted, "Comrades, you've worked hard. Take care of yourselves."
After saying that, the man ran out of the courtyard.
Zhao Ming quickly ran forward and opened the box. It was filled with bags of blue masks.
Han Bin and Zhao Ming felt a little guilty that they had almost misunderstood each other.
Masks were definitely hard currency, and they couldn't be bought even if you had money. They were also very precious items that the Yu Hua Sub-Bureau urgently needed.
The other industries had not started work yet, but the police were already at work, and the daily consumption of masks was not a small amount.
Han Bin quickly chased after the man. "Comrade, don't run. How much are these masks? I'll pay —"
The man directly interrupted Han Bin. "It's free, these masks are for you!"
Zhao Ming shouted, "What's your name?"
"I'm just an ordinary Chinese." The man smiled, closed the car door, and drove away.
Han Bin did not manage to catch up. He saluted and watched the car leave.
Zhao Ming also saluted.
At that moment, both of their eyes were a little wet. No matter how cold it was outside, their hearts were warm.
Han Bin had a new understanding of the police profession.
Han Bin did not become a police officer because of his dreams, nor did he have any lofty ideals. It was more because of his father's influence.
Like most office workers, he wanted to find a stable job.
With his relationship with Han Weidong, even if Han Bin's ability was average, he would not be doing too badly.
The relationship between people was mutual. The police protected the people, and they would also be loved and supported by the people.
His choice was correct.
Being a police officer wasn't just a job, it was also a responsibility.
He had no regrets in this life, and he would still be a farmer in his next life!
…
Zhao Ming wiped his eyes. "Brother Bin, I'm old. How can I cry so easily?"
You're old? What about me?
Han Bin hit him on the head. "Say it again."
Zhao Ming was a smart person. He quickly changed his words. "No … I was blinded by the wind."
Han Bin took a deep breath. "Me too."
After watching the car leave the intersection, Han Bin and Zhao Ming returned to the branch office and reported the matter to their superior. Then, they handed the masks to the logistics department for unified distribution.
…
Rui Wen District.
Ning Yuerong's house.
This was a family of three. Ning Yuerong's father went to work.
Chen Xia was cooking.
Ning Yuerong sat in the corner of the sofa with tears on her face. She was reading the news on her phone.
Ning Yuerong's eyes were dull. It was unknown if she could see it or if she was just killing time.
Ever since she found out that Zhao Xiaoshan had disappeared, Ning Yuerong had become dejected. She didn't want to eat or drink, and she had lost a lot of weight.
Ning Yuerong thought back to the time when the two of them were together. From knowing each other to loving each other, it was so sweet and beautiful.
Thinking of Zhao Xiaoshan's handsome face and gentle care, Ning Yuerong felt her heart ache.
"Xiaoshan, where are you? I miss you, I really miss you!" Tears fell from the corner of Ning Yuerong's eyes. Unknowingly, her collar had already been wet.
Ning Yuerong had always hoped to receive a call from Zhao Xiaoshan. He would personally tell her that Rong Rong, Xiaoshan oppa was back.
"Woo woo …" Ning Yuerong sobbed softly.
Chen Xia's voice came from the dining hall. "Rong Rong, it's time to eat."
Ning Yuerong was still crying. Food did not attract her at all.
Chen Xia took off her apron and walked out of the dining hall. "Rong Rong, eat."
"I'm not hungry."
"You didn't eat this morning. How can you not be hungry?"
"You go ahead and eat. I'll eat later."
Chen Xia walked over. Seeing her daughter's haggard face, she habitually took out the electronic thermometer and lifted the curtain on Ning Yuerong's head to test her temperature.
36.6℃。
Normal.
Chen Xia put the electronic thermometer to the side and pulled her daughter's arm: "Let's go eat."
Ning Yuerong stood up as well. His face was still expressionless, like a walking corpse.
When they arrived at the dining hall, Chen Xia scooped up the rice and placed it in front of her daughter: "Eat, tomato scrambled eggs, celery, stewed beef."
Ning Yuerong's family had a nanny before, but the nanny was from another place. Since she had gone home during the New Year, Chen Xia told her to come back later.
Chen Xia rarely cooked. Although she had only cooked three dishes, she had been busy for the entire morning.
"Hurry up and eat, it's going to get cold." Chen Xia had been busy for the entire morning, and was now tired and hungry. Seeing her daughter's appearance, she felt both heartache and anger.
"If it was a normal day, Mom wouldn't care about you. If you want to eat or not, you'll be fine after a few days of sadness."
"But this special period is different. You have to eat, or else your body won't be able to take it. Without the antibodies, the illness will come knocking on your door."
"You should be sad, but you have to eat when you have to. Let Mom save some effort."
Ning Yuerong was startled for a while, he did not know if he had thought it through, or if he had listened to Chen Xia's words, but he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat in big mouthfuls.
Chen Xia heaved a sigh of relief, and gave her daughter some beef and eggs: "Eat more, if you get sick, what will your father and I do?"
"We don't expect you to take care of us for the rest of your life."
"If you live well and are happy, we will be at ease."
"Dong dong …"
There was a knock on the door.
Chen Xia stood up and walked to the entrance of the dining hall: "Who is it?"
"Police." A man's voice came from outside.
Chen Xia heard that it was a little familiar, and said to her daughter: "You eat, I'll go …"
Before he could finish, Ning Yuerong put down his chopsticks and ran out, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
Chen Xia did not stop his daughter, and quickly shouted: "Rongrong, wear a mask!"
Fortunately, Ning Yuerong still retained a trace of rationality. He took out a pink mask from the tea table and put it on.
Ning Yuerong opened the door and saw two men standing outside. They were Yu Hua Branch's Han Bin and Zhao Ming.
"Comrade Police, is there any news of Xiaoshan?"
"Not yet."
Ning Yuerong revealed a disappointed expression: "How could this be, why haven't we found him yet, where did Xiaoshan go?"
Chen Xia pulled her daughter to the side, hesitated for a moment, but still invited Han Bin and Rong Rong in.
"Officer Han, didn't Rongrong already say it clearly? Why are you guys here again?
"Han Bin sized Chen Xia up:" We are not here to look for Ning Yuerong. "
"Then what are you here for?"
"We're here for you."
Chen Xia revealed a panicked expression: "Look for me!"
