Xiangyang Community, 9 buildings, 3 units, 2 rooms.

When Gu Chen knocked on the door, there was immediately a rush of footsteps inside.

The door opened to reveal a fashionably dressed young man.

"Hello, we are from the Third Criminal Investigation Group of the Furong Branch, are you Zhang Fan?" asked Gu Chen.

"Are you...... The policeman who answered the phone?" Zhang Fan obviously heard Gu Chen's voice as well, and hurriedly opened the door to the maximum.

"That's right. Gu Chen nodded slightly, and under Zhang Fan's guidance, he walked into the living room.

After Gu Chen looked around for a week, he found that this was a relatively old room, estimated to be about 15 years old.

However, compared with the large number of new real estate projects in Jiangnan City in recent years, Xiangyang Community is an earlier high-end community.

Although the structure is simple, it has a large area and is transparent from north to south.

After Gu Chen roughly observed on the shoe rack, he sat down on the sofa, turned on the law enforcement recorder, and asked, "You said that your sister disappeared two days ago?"

"That's right. Zhang Fan sat next to Gu Chen, nodded and said, "I don't know why my sister said that she was going to the company to work overtime, I just felt that the person who replied to me that night might not be my sister at all." ”

"You speak slowly, don't worry. Gu Chen opened the transcript and began to take notes on Zhang Fan.

Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, and Yuan Shasha, the three of them put on gloves and began to inspect all parts of the room.

"Well, two nights ago, I was coming home from a round of golf, and I was sitting on the couch watching TV after taking a shower, but I noticed a strange problem. ”

"Every day at this time, my sister starts to go to the bathroom to remove her makeup and prepare to go back to bed, but there is no movement in my sister's room that night. ”

"So what?" asked Gu Chen.

"So I went to my sister's room to check on the situation, but when I kicked the door open, I realized that my sister was not at home at all. ”

Zhang Fan said this, also grabbing his head with both hands, looking lonely.

"Go on. Gu Chen said.

"Hmm. Zhang Fan nodded, and said: "Later, I checked the bag my sister carried when she went to work, as well as the shoes she usually wears to work, and found that they are no longer there." ”

When I saw that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, I was a little anxious and hurriedly sent her a message. ”

But then my sister replied that she might have to live and eat in the company for a few days because of an emergency project in a company, so I asked me to leave her alone. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fan also specially took out his mobile phone, clicked on the dialog box between the two, and showed it to Gu Chen: "Look, this is my sister Zhang Hui's reply message that night. ”

I didn't care at the time, so I replied to her that she should pay attention to rest, telling her that I was eating out these days, and then I washed and went to bed. ”

"Since then, I have occasionally messaged my sister, but she has not replied, and I thought it was because I was too busy with work, so I didn't care. ”

"But it wasn't until this morning, when my sister's company came to look for her at the same time, that I learned that my sister hadn't been to the company at all in the past two days, and the company didn't have any urgent projects at all. ”

"Are you sure that man is a colleague of her company?" Gu Chen asked him in confirmation.

Zhang Fan nodded: "It should be right, before my sister's company team building, I was still in my sister's circle of friends, and I saw this man, who should be a colleague of my sister's company." ”

"That is, the person who messaged you that night was someone else? And at that time, your sister may have disappeared, either in possession, or the phone was lost and picked up by someone else? ”

"Yes, I think so too. Zhang Fan seemed a little impatient, even a little overwhelmed.

After Gu Chen completed these records, he asked again: "Then since the night of her disappearance, has your sister ever returned home?"

"Comrade policeman, what do you mean?" Zhang Fan looked a little puzzled and retorted: "My sister is missing, how can she come back." ”

"Wait. Gu Chen directly raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Fan's words, and said, "I mean, there are two possibilities for your sister to disappear, one is active disappearance, and the other is passive disappearance. ”

"We all understand the passive disappearance very well, it is nothing more than being controlled by others, restricting the freedom of life, being trapped in an unknown place, with objective factors in it. ”

"And the active disappearance is her own choice to disappear for a period of time, which is determined by her subjectively. ”

"But given that we don't have a lot of clues at the moment, I can only evaluate both possibilities, so can you understand?"

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Fan was stunned, and then he said, "It seems to understand, I ...... I don't know if my sister ever came back. ”

"Haven't you been home all the time? It's supposed to be summer vacation, right?" Lu Weiwei asked as she returned to the living room and sat next to Gu Chen.

Zhang Fan bowed his head silently, but he looked very restrained.

Gu Chen saw that he was tired and asked him, "What's the matter?"

"No...... No. Zhang Fan looked up, but said nervously: "Because...... Because my sister was not at home for the past two days, since that day she said that she would not go home to sleep, I ...... I went to the bar by myself. ”

Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhang Fan said again: "As a result, I was poured a lot of wine by the two sisters, and I was very drunk, and the next day I was found by the bar cleaning aunt under the sofa." ”

"That means that you didn't go home that night after you received a text message from your sister that day?" asked Gu Chen.

Zhang Fan nodded: "I didn't go back." ”

"What time will you go home the next day?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhang Fan still shook his head: "I didn't go home the next day, I had a good girl playing in the bar, and I slept groggily in the hotel for a day, I only came home at noon yesterday, and I never went out of the house after that, except for ordering takeout." ”

Gu Chen recorded these in the record, and he probably knew Zhang Fan's activity trajectory.

The time that co-authored Zhang Fan was at home should be counted from noon yesterday.

In other words, from the night Zhang Hui disappeared, until noon yesterday, it was possible for Zhang Hui to return home, but Zhang Fan was not at home at that time.

However, this is unlikely, and Gu Chen does not have much hope.

But judging from Zhang Hui's reply to her brother's message, it is obviously a deception, because the company has no urgent projects at all, which also shows that Zhang Hui may have been with someone else that night.

And the person who sent the message to Zhang Fan may be the one who kidnapped Zhang Hui.

Gu Chen looked up and asked, "Then did your sister Zhang Hui have any things that disappeared?"

"This ......" Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "My sister and I rarely have contact except for living together at night. ”

"And my sister won't let me touch her things casually, nor will I be allowed to enter her room casually, so...... I don't know what my sister has. ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan hurriedly added: "But the red bag she carried to work, as well as the pair of flat shoes, are missing, which is the standard for her to work." ”

"That means that when your sister disappeared, she was probably wearing a set of clothes for work?" asked Lu Weiwei.

Zhang Fan nodded: "It should be." ”

"Which one?" asked him.

"That's it...... Gray suit, sleeveless kind, because my sister is in good shape, wearing this sleeveless suit shows her figure. ”

According to Zhang Fan's dictation, Gu Chen recorded this information one by one, and then picked up the mobile phone on Zhang Fan's desk, found Zhang Hui's photo, and asked in front of Zhang Fan: "Is this your sister Zhang Hui?"

"Hmm. Zhang Fan nodded.

"It's beautiful. Lu Weiwei looked at the photo with some appreciation, and then asked him: "Has the photo been P?"

"Uh...... A little whitening filter has been added, there are also some face slimming effects, and the eyes have been enlarged a bit, and the other ...... It doesn't seem to be, because my sister usually looks like this. ”

Officer Wang glanced at it, and couldn't help complaining: "As long as the special effects are not particularly outrageous, it is mainly to facilitate our police to identify the parties." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right, but this photo is about 80% similar to herself. ”

"That's good. Officer Wang nodded slightly, and couldn't help but say: "Last time, a man said that he was cheated of a lot of money by his girlfriend, and his girlfriend disappeared, so let the police help him find someone." ”

"As a result, our police found his girlfriend in a rental house according to the identity information provided by the man, but the photo provided by the man was very different from the appearance of the woman in front of him. ”

"At that time, we were still shocked, and thought that we had caught the wrong person, but later we learned that this woman's makeup skills were first-class, coupled with the beauty function of the mobile phone software, and I couldn't recognize it as the same person at all. ”

"That's not going to happen, my sister is already very beautiful, not P pictures are also beautiful, you can completely recognize her by virtue of this photo. ”

"That's good. Seeing that Zhang Fan was very sure, Officer Wang was no longer entangled.

At this time, Gu Chen asked again: "Does your sister usually have any special relationships with people......?" Girlfriends, colleagues, or somebody else, like boyfriends?"

"Well, you're going to have to make me think about it. Zhang Fan didn't answer immediately, and quickly fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhang Fan shook his head: "I haven't heard that she has a particularly good relationship with anyone, but I have seen it a few times, and someone drove her home in a BMW 5 Series." ”

"Who are you seeing?" Gu Chen asked.

Zhang Fan shook his head: "How can you see this clearly? The person didn't get out of the car, maybe ...... It's a company colleague or something, right?"

"Time. Gu Chen said.

"Time...... Maybe it's been the past two weeks, but I forgot the specific day, and I basically drove downstairs around 11 o'clock in the evening. ”

"Then which company does your sister work in?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Huasheng...... Advertising design company. Zhang Fan said.

After Gu Chen recorded these clues, he stood up directly and continued to advise: "What items have you lost at home, you'd better recount them yourself, and tell us when the statistics are ready." ”

"In addition, we are going to go to her company to investigate and see who she has been getting close to recently, after all, the gossip in the company is also the best source of clues. ”

"That's right. Zhang Fan nodded silently and agreed with Gu Chen's opinion.

Gu Chen turned to Lu Weiwei and said, "Senior Sister Lu, call Senior Brother He and ask him to check which white BMW 5 Series has been to Xiangyang Community in the past two weeks, from about 10 o'clock in the evening to the early morning, and if you find out, take out the driver's appearance." ”

"Understood. Of course, Lu Weiwei understood what Gu Chen meant, so she directly took out her mobile phone and began to contact He Junchao in the third group office.

And Gu Chen said to Zhang Fan: "Remember what I said, and re-inventory the items at home, because only you know best that there are abnormalities in those items at home." ”

"Okay, got it. Zhang Fan nodded silently, and then sent everyone to the door.

After going downstairs, Gu Chen also casually asked Yuan Shasha: "Xiao Yuan, did you find anything abnormal in Zhang Fan's house?"

"Nope. Yuan Shasha's head shook like a rattle, and she denied: "There is nothing special in the house, it's just that things are a little messy, and they should really clean the Fang room." ”

"Hmm. Gu Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

But when Gu Chen walked out of the unit building with everyone, an old lady was carrying vegetables, as if she had just bought vegetables and went home.

She just stood there staring at the police car downstairs.

Gu Chen stepped forward and unlocked the car, and the old lady was stunned, and her mouth was broken: "What's the situation? How can there be a police here? Whose house is this thief?"

When Gu Chen heard this, he opened the car door and stopped moving.

Then Gu Chen closed the car door again, and then walked up to the old lady and asked, "Old lady, do you live here?"

"yes, I live in this unit. The old lady pointed to Unit 2 next door to Zhang Fan's house.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and asked again: "Do you know Zhang Hui in Unit 3 and Room 2?"

"Yes, of course I know, they are all from the neighborhood, how can they not know each other?" the old lady thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Could it be that her family was burglarized, right?

Gu Chen shook his head and smiled: "It's not that the thing is lost, it's the person who is lost." ”

"Lost?" the old lady looked stunned, and she didn't know why she said, "How could this person be lost? According to what you mean, Zhang Hui's girl was lost?"

"That's kind of what it means. Gu Chen straightened his equipment belt, and then said: "Zhang Hui has been missing for the past few days, and her brother called the police." ”

"What? Zhang Hui is missing?" The old lady's face became stunned again: "This is not right, I saw her go to work a day ago, how could she be missing?"

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, it was Gu Chen's turn to be stunned.

Gu Chen frowned slightly, and continued to ask her, "Old lady, what did you just say...... Did Zhang Hui go to work a day ago?"

"Yes, a day ago, I saw her hurrying to work, how could she suddenly disappear?"

"It's not. Gu Chen interrupted the old lady again and asked, "Zhang Hui disappeared two days ago, how could you have seen her a day ago?

"Hey, then you mean I'm an old fool?" Although the old lady was a little angry, she looked at Gu Chen's handsome face, so she lowered her tone again and said softly:

"How could I lie to you? I bought vegetables every other day, and that day I went out early in the morning to buy vegetables, and I met Zhang Hui on the road, is this still fake?"

"That'...... Could it be that you have recognized the wrong person?" Lu Weiwei, who stepped forward, couldn't help but give her own opinion.

The old lady waved her hand: "How can I recognize the wrong person?" Zhang Hui usually wears that set of work clothes to work, and she also carries a red bag, as well as her big waves dyed gold, which is clearly Zhang Hui. ”

"But Zhang Hui ...... her"

Lu Weiwei just wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Gu Chen.

Gu Chen stepped forward and said in a soft tone: "Old lady, think about it carefully, is there any difference between the Zhang Hui you saw that day and usual?"

"What's different? Is there? Okay...... Seems a little, right?" the old lady seemed to be caught up in the memory.

Gu Chen hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, let's think slowly, you can say whatever comes to mind." ”

I don't feel like the old lady is forgetful, at least her body is very tough, her tone is also very strong, and her body looks very healthy.

Maybe from the old lady's mouth, you can also get some unexpected gains.

The old lady also hesitated again and again, and then confirmed: "If there is anything unusual, there is a little. ”

You say. Gu Chen took out the transcript and asked.

The old lady looked up and recalled: "Maybe she was in a hurry to go to work, so she walked fast that day, I said hello to her, but she ignored me, probably because it was too late." ”

"That's all?" asked Lou.

"That's right. The old lady nodded silently and continued: "Actually, it doesn't look strange, but Zhang Hui, a child, has a strong sense of time, and never presses time to go to work, she can always leave free time for herself." ”

"But that day was very different, I felt in a hurry, I can't say anything wrong, but I'm sure it was Zhang Hui. ”

The old lady's remarks attracted the attention of other police officers, including Gu Chen.

According to Zhang Hui's younger brother Zhang Fan, Zhang Hui did disappear two nights ago.

But Zhang Fan has a problem that he can't confirm, that is, he was out that night until noon yesterday, and he didn't go home at all.

And during this time, whether Zhang Hui has ever come back has become a mystery.

In addition, the Xiangyang community, due to the unpleasant relationship between the residents and the property before, a large amount of property fees were in arrears.

Therefore, the property in a fit of anger removed all the monitoring in the community, as well as the monitoring of the surrounding intersections.

In this way, Xiangyang Community is actually a blind spot for monitoring, and Gu Chen is not easy to judge, whether the old lady said it was the truth or not.

However, it can be learned from Zhang Fan's oral record that Zhang Hui has not been to the company for the past two days, so there is no such thing as rushing to work in the morning.

Gu Chen frowned, and said honestly to the old lady: "Old lady, let me tell you the truth, Zhang Hui has not been to work for the past two days, and her company has been desperately looking for her for the past two days, but no trace of Zhang Hui has been found. ”

"So you said that you saw Zhang Hui in a hurry the morning before, which is very important for our case investigation, please be sure to maintain a cautious and truthful attitude. ”

"That's for sure, I'm not lying, but I saw Zhang Hui a day ago. ”

In order to show that he was not lying, the old man even raised his hand and swore: "If you don't believe it, I can swear to God that everything I say here is true enough that I didn't lie." ”

Listening to the old lady's words, Gu Chen suddenly became entangled.

After all, the old lady and Zhang Fan had their own words, and there were clues and loopholes in them, and Gu Chen didn't know who to believe for a while.

But Gu Chen has another choice, that is, to investigate Zhang Hui's colleagues.

Sometimes, gossip between colleagues, that can even talk about how your seventh uncle and grandfather proposed back then.

Of course, the old lady and Zhang Fan may also be suspected of lying, which needs to be verified.

Therefore, Gu Chen's most urgent request now is to integrate the fragmented clues as soon as possible, and strive to find the missing Zhang Hui as soon as possible.
