"What did she say?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm safe now. I'm divorcing your brother-in-law. I'm going to live outside for a few days," He Ru said.
Zheng Kaixuan made a prompt decision. "Call your sister."
"Okay," He Ru answered and dialed He Yan's number.
"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off."
"Sorry, The number …"
"Turned off."
"Get the forensics team here. Ask them to find the sender," Zheng Kaixuan shouted.
"Yes, sir," Zhao Ming answered and left the office.
"Look at this message. Doesn't it look like it was sent by your sister?" Han Bin glanced at the phone.
"I don't know."
"Has your sister ever run away from home?"
He Ru recalled. "I remember she ran away from home many years ago."
"When exactly?"
"A few years ago. She wasn't married then."
"How are your sister and brother-in-law's relationship?"
"Not bad. I didn't hear her say anything about a divorce," He Ru said.
"How old is your sister's child?" Han Bin asked.
"Five years old."
"Send her another message. Ask her to call and tell her that she's safe after receiving the message."
"Okay," He Ru answered and took out her phone to write a message.
Zhao Ming and Reuven walked into the office.
"Captain Zheng, you were looking for me?"
Zheng Kaixuan pointed at a chair and gestured for Reuven to sit down.
"The missing person reported a missing person. I just received a message from the missing person. Her phone is turned off. Can you help me find the sender?"
"Captain Zheng, this isn't a kidnapping case. It has to be applied by the criminal police. Our forensics team can investigate it." Reuven smiled awkwardly.
"The application process will take at least half a day. It'll be too late by then. Help me check it first. I'll fill in the paperwork later," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"But, but …" Reuven was in a difficult position.
"Stop being so wishy-washy. Be a man."
"What's your phone number?" Reuven asked helplessly.
"That's more like it." Zheng Kaixuan smiled and gave her He Yan's phone number.
"Huff …"
Reuven sighed, got up and walked two steps, then turned back and said, "Don't forget to apply."
"Don't worry, I'll write the application now."
…
"Any response to the text?" Han Bin asked.
"No." He Ru shook her head.
"Did your sister bring any extra clothes with her when she left?"
"I don't know either."
"Who does your sister live with?"
"My brother-in-law, the child, and her mother-in-law," He Ru replied.
Han Bin was confused. "Why didn't your brother-in-law call the police?"
"He went to find my sister. He said that he was going to the place that my sister frequented to ask for information and asked me to come and report the case."
Han Bin pondered for a moment and said, "Send another text to your sister. Tell her that you are worried about her and ask her to call you to tell you that she is safe. Otherwise, call the police."
Tian Li frowned. "Isn't this too risky? What if He Yan is kidnapped? Will she be in danger?"
"Send it. Let's figure out the nature of the case first. Otherwise, He Yan may be in more danger," Zheng Kaixuan said.
He Yan had already sent a text. If this text was sent by herself, it meant that she was not in danger. She ran away from home because of family conflicts. The other party was an adult, and the police had no right to ask.
If He Yan was controlled and this text was sent by someone else, it was very likely that it was a kidnapping case. The nature of the case would be different, and the way to handle it would be different.
He Ru sent another text according to Han Bin's instructions.
After waiting for a while, there was still no response.
"Captain Zheng, Captain Zeng, we can't keep waiting. I suggest that we go to the missing woman's home. Her husband and mother-in-law should know more about the missing woman," Han Bin suggested.
"You and Li Hui can go there," Zeng Ping said. "Make a statement for both her husband and mother-in-law."
"Got it."
…
He Yan lived in an urban village in the suburbs.
In an off-road vehicle.
Li Hui was driving, He Ru was directing the way, and Han Bin was sitting in the back.
"Officer Li, turn right ahead, and we'll be there," He Ru said.
"Miss He, is your sister's house rented? Or did she buy it? "
"Yes. Her mother-in-law's family is also not from here," Li Hui said.
"Miss He, are you married?" Li Hui asked.
"Yes."
"Oh, that's quite early."
"The older a woman is, the harder it is to say," He Ru said.
"May I ask if your husband had a house in the city when you got married?" Li Hui glanced to the right.
"No, we're still renting a house. We live nearby." He Ru shrugged.
"It's good to rent a house. Me too," Li Hui said with a smile.
After a while, the three of them arrived at He Yan's house.
Han Bin got out of the car and looked around. It was a two-story house with a small yard, only about a dozen square meters. The toilet was in the yard, and the house looked old.
"The landlord on the first floor is an old man. My sister's family lives on the second floor," He Yan said.
The two-story house wasn't big, and the stairs were outside. The cement stairs and iron handrails were rusty.
There were three rooms on the second floor, two bedrooms and a utility room.
In the east room, an old lady in her sixties was playing with a little girl in her arms. The furniture in the room was simple.
"He Ru, did you find your sister?" the old lady asked.
"Auntie, these two are Officer Han and Officer Li. They're here to help find my sister," He Ru said.
"Nice to meet you. Please have a seat." The old lady stood up.
"Auntie." The little girl ran over and hugged He Ru's legs.
"Yuanyuan, good girl." He Ru picked up the child.
"Officer, when can you find my daughter-in-law?" the old lady asked.
"Madam, we're here to help you find your daughter-in-law, but there are some things we don't know. We hope you can help us with our investigation and provide us with some useful clues." Han Bin turned on the law enforcement recorder.
"What do you mean?" The old lady didn't understand.
"Auntie, we just want to know about your daughter-in-law so that we can find her as soon as possible," Li Hui explained.
"Oh, go ahead," the old lady said.
Han Bin: "…"
"Auntie, what's your name? How old are you? "
"My name is Wang Zhaodi. I'm 61 years old this year," the old lady answered. "Aren't you asking about my daughter-in-law?"
"Just a routine inquiry." Han Bin jotted down the information in the notebook and continued to ask, "Has He Yan done anything unusual recently?"
"No."
"How is He Yan's relationship with your son?"
"What? What does it have to do with my son?" the old lady asked.
"My sister just sent me a message saying that she doesn't want to live with my brother-in-law anymore. She wants a divorce," He Ru interrupted.
"That's impossible." Wang Zhaodi looked surprised.
"Miss He, don't say anything while I'm taking the statement," Han Bin warned her.
"Got it."
"Auntie Wang, how is your son and daughter-in-law's relationship?" Han Bin asked.
"They've always been very harmonious." Wang Zhaodi blinked a few times.
Everyone's little tricks are different when it comes to lying.
If the frequency of blinking was too high, it meant that they were emotionally unstable, which was one of the more common behaviors of lying.
Han Bin made a note in the notebook and continued to ask.
"Auntie Wang, how is your relationship with He Yan?"
"Very good." Wang Zhaodi blinked again. "She's like my own daughter."
