When Wu Mian heard the news about Zhang Shun, he suddenly sobered up and picked up the cigarette case on the bedside table: "What's going on?"

"According to Shen Jiahong's investigation, Zhang Shun is a low-key person and has no enemies. On the day of his disappearance, his public schedule was to hold an internal meeting of the Ministry of Social Security, but in fact he wanted to win over some senior officials in Congress and let them attend the meeting after the National Day.

Vote for Zhou Linsheng in the election.”

Lin Hansu paused for a moment: "It is said that this meeting played a vital role in Zhou Linsheng's election, so Shen Jiahong suspected that his disappearance was also related to this meeting."

Wu Mian thought for a moment: "Where was the last place he disappeared? Was he on his way to a meeting?"

Lin Hansu shook his head: "No, according to Zhang Shun's driver, he rushed to Zhang Shun's house as agreed, but did not see Zhang Shun. That is to say, after that, Zhang Shun disappeared."

Wu Mian raised his eyebrows: "Have you asked his family?"

Lin Hansu shook his head: "Shen Jiahong went to the Zhang family, but the Zhang family didn't say anything. His wife said that she would not accept the investigation until she saw you. As for his driver, he has been taken away by Xiang Hou. With Xiang Hou's methods,

Whether he is lying or not can be found out through interrogation."

When Wu Mian heard this, he felt that it was Zhou Linsheng who had greeted Zhang Shun's family and got up from the bed: "Prepare the car and go to the Zhang family."

…

Zhang Shun and Zhou Linsheng were both civilian officials. They had studied hard since they were young, and they had climbed up from the bottom step by step.

When Zhou Lin was the county speaker, Zhang Shun was his deputy. It was because of Zhou Linsheng's outstanding ability that he mentioned him to the Ministry of Social Security as the person in charge.

The civilian faction has no foundation in the coalition government, and the rise of such internal factions cannot be achieved in ten or eight years.

Zhou Linsheng took the position for five years and spent countless efforts to lift Zhang Shun to his current position a few months ago step by step.

Zhang Shun came from a poor family, and he also knew that civilians were walking on thin ice in Congress, always keeping their tail between their legs, and had no enemies in the officialdom.

Because he had only been in office for such a short period of time, Zhang Shun had not yet been allocated an official residence. In order to facilitate his work, he rented it in an ordinary villa area in the city.

When Wu Mian arrived, Shen Jiahong had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw him arriving, he quickly came up to him and introduced with him: "Brother Ninth, I just went to Zhang Shun's house, but his wife Li Wenpei

I asked to see you by name and said I didn’t want to talk to anyone but you.”

Wu Mian kept walking: "Tell me something I don't know."

Shen Jiahong sighed: "We called up the surveillance of this villa area. The surveillance storage equipment here is too old. The storage records on the day of the incident have been squeezed out and cannot be found."

Wu Mian glanced sideways: "Why didn't you check it that day?"

Shen Jiahong shook his head: "The information I know is limited, and this is not clear yet."

While Wu Mian was talking to Shen Jiahong, he stood at Zhang Shun's house and knocked on the door.

Ten seconds later, the door opened, and Shen Jiahong said to the woman in her fifties in the room: "Mrs. Zhang, this is Director Wu of the Ninth Division."

"I've seen your photos, come in and chat." Mrs. Zhang Shun glanced at Wu Mian and turned sideways to let him enter the room with Shen Jiahong.

Zhang Shun's house is rented, and the furnishings inside are relatively simple.

After Wu Mian sat down, he said straight to the point: "Mrs. Zhang, I'm here to investigate the disappearance of Minister Zhang. I believe you are in a more urgent mood now, so let's keep the story short. Do you think that's okay?"

"Last night, Lin Sheng told me about your investigation on the phone."

When Li Wenpei mentioned this, tears began to fall down: "I have been married to Lao Zhang since he was the mayor at the grassroots level, and we have lived together for most of our lives. When Zhou Linsheng wanted to transfer him to Kyoto, I

I don't agree with him coming, how can this Beijing official be so easy to do?"

"Mrs. Zhang, please control your emotions first. Although Mr. Zhang is missing, it may not necessarily be an accident. Our top priority is to find him first."

Wu Mian comforted him, and then cut to the whole story: "My subordinates told me that the surveillance video on the day Mr. Zhang disappeared has disappeared. Have you not been looking for anyone in the past three days?"

"The nature of Lao Zhang's work is quite special. When he gets busy, he often stays away from home for several days and nights. Recently, he has been in meetings frequently and his mobile phone is in silent mode most of the time."

Li Wenpei wiped her tears and continued: "He had this problem when he was at the grassroots level. He wouldn't say a word if he didn't go home, and I was used to it. I thought he was always busy with work. Until yesterday morning, Zhou Linsheng called

, I asked about Lao Zhang, and I found out that he had never been at the unit, so I confirmed that he was missing."

Shen Jiahong asked in disbelief: "With the status of Minister Zhang, how can it be that no one has been looking for him after he has been missing for so long?"

Li Wenpei shook his head: "Lao Zhang has been busy with Zhou Linsheng's election recently and left the work to others, so people in the unit don't know what he is busy with."

Shen Jiahong rubbed his palms and whispered: "Mrs. Zhang, I have a question that may be offensive. Does Minister Zhang usually have..."

"Impossible! You don't know Lao Zhang. He is a very upright person. If he has so many bad habits, it is impossible for Zhou Linsheng to transfer him to Kyoto to help him."

Li Wenpei shook his head firmly: "Besides, this is the critical stage before Zhou Linsheng's election. Lao Zhang has been in officialdom for half his life, and there is no way he would make such a low-level mistake."

Wu Mian heard Li Wenpei's response and turned to ask: "Mrs. Zhang, please think about it carefully. Before Mr. Zhang disappeared, did he make any weird behavior or mention anyone he wanted to see?"

Li Wenpei recalled: "I remembered that before Lao Zhang went out, he received a private phone call. Only some of his relatives and friends knew about that phone number."

Shen Jiahong's eyes lit up: "Can you provide us with the number of this phone?"

"When I usually talk to Lao Zhang, I always contact his secretary. I rarely talk to him directly. That number is not stored in my bracelet, but is recorded in the memo. Please wait a moment, I will look for it.

"

After Li Wenpei finished speaking, he got up and walked to the second floor.

Shen Jiahong took advantage of Li Wenpei's departure and said to Wu Mian: "Brother Ninth, according to Li Wenpei, Zhang Shun disappeared mysteriously. I feel that he is probably in danger."

Wu Mian did not refute: "How do you think he died?"

"According to my investigation, Zhang Shun is the chief steward who helped Zhou Linsheng campaign. If something goes wrong with him, Zhou Linsheng will be a big help. As for the other two missing people, I think it is just a coincidence."
