The next morning.
Ma Jingbo took some people to Cheng 'an Village to investigate the other employees of Fulong Feed Factory.
Team 1 had something to do, so Zeng Ping went there for the time being.
Han Bin, Zhao Ming, and Tian Li stayed at Yu Hua Branch.
Han Bin sat at his desk and was looking through Ren Jianhua's file.
Ren Jianhua disappeared on January 11th and was reported on January 14th. The police didn't find many useful clues and only gave Ren Jianhua's parents a statement.
During that time, there was a fraud case on Qin Island, so the basic police force was investigating and interviewing the fraud case. They didn't pay much attention to the missing person case.
Knock, knock … There was a knock on the door.
Han Bin put down the file. "Come in."
Creak … The office door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in. "Excuse me, is Officer Tian here?"
Tian Li stood up. "My surname is Tian, who are you?"
"I'm Ren Zhongyuan, Ren Jianhua's father."
"Please take a seat, we've been waiting for you." Han Bin made a gesture.
"Thank you."
Han Bin sized up Ren Baqian and asked, "Mr. Ren, where are you from?"
"Meng Province."
"Nice place, vast and sparsely populated."
"Officer, how should I address you?"
"My surname is Han."
"Officer Han, did you find my son?"
"No."
"Did you find any clues about my son's disappearance?"
Han Bin thought about it and shook his head. "Not sure yet."
"Ah, then why did you call me here?" Ren Zhongyuan was confused.
"It's like this, we found some clues, but we can't be sure if it's related to your son's disappearance, so we hope you can be mentally prepared when we talk about the case."
"What do you mean, what clues? Tell me."
"How about this, I want to ask you a question first. It might be a bit presumptuous, but it's very important to the case."
"Just say it. As long as you can find my son, you can ask me anything."
"Are you biological father and son?"
"Ren Jianhua is my son, that's for sure. Why, is this clue related to my wife?"
"No, it doesn't matter. We just want to extract your DNA for a comparison. "
Hearing this, Ren Zhongyuan's expression changed. "Did something happen to my son?"
"We can't be sure for now. We'll only know after we do a DNA comparison."
"I knew something had happened. I knew it. My son is so obedient. It's impossible for him to not contact us for such a long time." Ren Zhongyuan choked.
"Zhao Ming, collect Mr. Ren's fingerprints and DNA."
"Yes, sir," Zhao Ming answered and walked over with the tools to collect fingerprints and DNA.
Ren Zhongyuan had a sorrowful expression on his face. He looked weak, but he was still very cooperative with Zhao Ming.
After collecting the DNA, Ren Zhongyuan clenched his fists and gathered his courage to say, "Officer Han, have you found the body? I want to go and have a look. I can recognize my son. There's no need to wait for the DNA comparison. I can't wait."
Han Bin rubbed his nose. This matter might be a little difficult.
"What's the difficulty?" Ren Zhongyuan couldn't help but ask, "Officer Han, what's the situation? Tell me in detail. What clues did you find?"
Han Bin hesitated for a moment. "What about your body?"
Ren Zhongyuan patted his chest and said, "Good, my body is very good. I don't have any diseases."
Although Ren Zhongyuan looked so confident, Han Bin still couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be too sad after hearing it. After all, Cao Da still had half of his palm left. The other victim only had some skin tissue left.
As a father, it was hard for anyone to accept this situation.
Han Bin avoided the important and said in a different way, "It's like this. When we were investigating another case, we accidentally found two victims. The identity of one of the victims has been confirmed. He is also a missing person."
"From the contacts of the missing people, we found a suspicious number. That number only has three contacts. One of them is your son, one is a deceased person, and the last one is also missing. We suspect that the three cases are likely to be the work of the same person."
Ren Zhongyuan started to sob. After such a long time, he was already mentally prepared.
"Officer Han, I beg you, you must find the murderer who killed my son and avenge him."
Han Bin nodded. "I will do my best."
Ren Zhongyuan wiped his tears and was silent for a long time. "If you have any questions, you can ask. As long as it helps solve the case, I will do anything."
"Were there any abnormalities before Ren Jianhua disappeared?"
"I didn't notice. The child called a few days before he disappeared, but I didn't hear anything unusual."
Han Bin flipped open the diary. "Have you received any blackmail calls?"
"No, my family's financial situation is normal. His mother and I are ordinary workers. Our salaries add up to only eight thousand. There are many rich people in my family, so my family can't be considered rich."
"Does Ren Jianhua have any enemies?"
"No, my family's Jianhua is very good. He studies well and has a good relationship with his classmates. I've never heard of him having a conflict with anyone."
"It's been so long. You should have thought about it carefully. Is there anything unusual?"
"Yes."
"What's unusual?"
"Recently, there have been many online loan companies calling me, saying that my son borrowed money online but didn't pay it back on time. They want me to urge Jianhua to pay it back."
Zhao Ming had just graduated, so he was more familiar with the situation of university students. He interrupted, "Recently, university students like to borrow money online."
"I heard that too. I discussed it with my wife and helped my son exchange the money." Ren Zhongyuan sighed.
"Who knew, a few days later, someone called again, saying that my son borrowed money online and didn't pay it back on time. I told them that I've already helped my son pay it back once, but they said it's not the same company."
"This time, I was more cautious. After discussing with my wife, we decided not to return the money to that website. Who knew that in less than two days, a few other online loan companies called and said that my son owed them money. I calculated that there were five online loan companies in total, and my son owed more than 70,000 yuan."
"My salary and bonus for a year can't earn that much. I really don't know what's going on."
Zhao Ming reminded him, "You can consult with the relevant departments. If it's an illegal company, you don't have to pay it back."
"I did. The key is that these are all legal companies, and the interest is in line with the national regulations. I looked at the bills, and they are all loans, accumulating so much money over time."
"Your son is still a student. Does he have any extra expenses?"
"No. What expenses can he have? In addition to tuition, we give him two thousand and five hundred a month for living expenses. We are afraid that the child will be poor. Logically speaking, it should be enough."
"Does your son have a girlfriend?"
"I haven't heard from him."
Han Bin changed the topic. "I saw the records on the file. Your son disappeared on January 11th."
"Yes, we contacted him on January 10th. On the afternoon of the 11th, we couldn't get through to him."
"But as far as I know, Qingdao University is on holiday on January 8th. According to the regulations, students are not allowed to stay on campus during the winter vacation. Where did he go after that?"
Ren Zhongyuan shook his head. "I don't know. When we came to Qingdao to report the case, the school was already on holiday. Many students had gone home, and the police couldn't find out the situation in time. They only asked me to make a statement and told us to go back and wait for the news."
"There should be a local student. Didn't they summon him?"
"They summoned a local student. He is my son's roommate, but he didn't go to the police station." Ren Zhongyuan's tone was full of helplessness.
The summons wasn't mandatory. Many people might not show up in time even if they received a summons.
Han Bin looked at the file, and there was indeed a person who didn't show up.
"What did Ren Jianhua bring with him when he disappeared?"
Ren Zhongyuan recalled. "His phone, computer, wallet, ID, and some clothes are all missing."
Han Bin asked a few more questions. Ren Zhongyuan didn't know much and didn't answer in detail.
If he continued to ask, he probably wouldn't get any more clues. Han Bin said, "Mr. Ren, you can go back first. We will contact you when there is news."
"I won't go. I'll wait here. I'm afraid that I will have to wait for another ten days to half a month. I really can't wait anymore. I'm anxious."
"Don't worry. We have already set up a joint task force. The higher-ups are taking this case very seriously. We will solve it as soon as possible," Han Bin stood up and said to Zhao Ming, "Help me send Mr. Ren off."
Zhao Ming made an inviting gesture. "Mr. Ren, please."
Ren Zhongyuan put his palms together and begged, "Officer Han, and my two comrades, I beg you, you must seek justice for my son."
Han Bin said seriously, "I promise, I will do my best."
…
Ten minutes later, Zhao Ming sent Ren Zhongyuan off. Tian Li also handed over the DNA to the technical team.
Han Bin gathered the two of them. "Alright, let's have a small meeting."
Zhao Ming lamented, "This Ren Zhongyuan has it pretty hard. He had to see his son die before him. He grabbed my arm and cried and begged me. It made me feel quite uncomfortable."
"Then let's investigate the case. Once we get to the bottom of it, we can give Ren Zhongyuan an explanation. He can also let go of this matter and start his life anew, "Han Bin said.
He was full of sympathy for the victim's family, but he was more willing to turn this sympathy into motivation for the investigation.
Tian Li flipped through the file and thought for a moment. "Leader, Ren Jianhua and Zhao Xiaoshan's cases don't seem to have any obvious connection."
"One of them is a beautician, and the other is a university student. One is a native of Qingdao, and the other is an outsider. They are basically from different circles."
Zhao Ming often liked to let his imagination run wild. He took over the conversation and said, "That's not necessarily true. Some people are beauticians in private, but web novelists in public. Maybe some people are students in public, but web novelists in private. "
