Xiangyang Community, Building 9, Unit 3, Room 2.

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

The door opened, revealing a fashionably dressed young man.

"Hello, we are from the Criminal Investigation Team 3 of the Furong Branch. Are you Zhang Fan?" Gu Chen asked.

"Are you... the policeman who answered the phone?" Zhang Fan obviously heard Gu Chen's voice and quickly opened the door as wide as possible.

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

After looking around for a week, Gu Chen found that this was an older-decorated room, estimated to be around 15 years old.

However, compared to the large number of new real estate developments in Jiangnan City in recent years, Xiangyang Community is considered 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 the shoe rack, he sat on the sofa, turned on the law enforcement recorder, and asked: "You said 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 she was going to the company to work overtime. I just felt that the person who replied to my message that night might not be the person at all.

My sister."

"Speak slowly, don't rush." ​​Gu Chen opened the notebook and began to write down Zhang Fan.

Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha put on gloves and began to inspect every part of the room.

"It's like this. Two nights ago, I just came home from playing golf. After taking a shower, I was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and I discovered a strange problem."

"At this time every day, my sister would go to the bathroom to remove her makeup and prepare to go back to her room to sleep, but that night there was no movement in my sister's room."

"So?" Gu Chen asked.

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

When Zhang Fan said this, he was also scratching his head with both hands, looking lonely.

"Keep talking." Gu Chen said.

"Yes." Zhang Fan nodded and added, "Later I checked the bag my sister carried when she went to work, as well as the shoes she usually wears at work, and found that they were not there."

"I wondered if it was because the company was working overtime too late? When I saw that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, I was a little anxious and quickly sent her a message."

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

After saying this, Zhang Fan took out his cell phone, opened the dialog box between the two of them, and showed it to Gu Chen: "Look, this is the reply message my sister Zhang Hui sent that night."

"I didn't pay much attention at the time, so I just replied to ask her to take a rest, told her that I was eating out these days, and then went to bed."

"But since then, I occasionally sent messages to my sister, but she didn't reply. I thought it was because I was too busy at work, so I didn't pay attention."

"But it wasn't until this morning when my sister came to see her at the company that I realized 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 confirmingly.

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 saw this man. He should be a colleague of my sister's company."

"That means that the person who sent you the message that night was another person? At that time, your sister might have been missing, either under someone's control, or her phone was left behind and picked up by someone else?

But I think the former is more likely."

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

After Gu Chen completed these records, he asked again: "Since the night she disappeared, has your sister ever returned home?"

"Comrade police, what do you mean?" Zhang Fan looked a little confused and retorted: "My sister is missing, how could she come back?"

"Wait a minute." Gu Chen raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Fan's words, and said: "What I mean is that there are two possible ways for your sister to disappear, one is an active disappearance, and the other is a passive disappearance.

"

"We all understand passive disappearance very well. It is nothing more than being controlled by others, restricting the freedom of life, being trapped in an unknown place, and there are objective factors involved."

"As for active disappearance, she chooses to disappear for a period of time. This is her subjective decision."

"But given that there are not many clues at present, I can only evaluate both possibilities. Do you understand?"

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Fan was stunned, and then said: "It seems that he understands. I...I'm not very sure whether my sister has come back."

"Aren't you always at home? It must be summer vacation now, right?" Lu Weiwei returned to the living room and sat next to Gu Chen and asked.

Zhang Fan lowered his head silently, but looked very reserved.

Gu Chen saw something fishy and asked him: "What? It's not convenient to tell?"

"No...no." Zhang Fan raised his head and said nervously: "Because...because my sister has not been at home these two days, so since that day when she said she would not go home to sleep, I...I am the only one

People went to the bar to dance."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhang Fan added: "The two girls drank a lot of wine and got very drunk. The bar cleaning lady found me under the sofa the next day."

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

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

"Then what time will you get home the next day?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhang Fan still shook his head: "I didn't go home the next day. I slept in the hotel all day with a girl I was friends with at the bar. I only got home at noon yesterday. After that, besides ordering takeout,

He never left the house again."

Gu Chen recorded all of this and roughly knew the trajectory of Zhang Fan's activities.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The time that co-author Zhang Fan was at home should be counted from noon yesterday.

In other words, from the night when Zhang Hui disappeared until noon yesterday, Zhang Hui might have returned home, but Zhang Fan was not at home at that time.

However, this possibility is unlikely, and Gu Chen doesn't hold out much hope.

But judging from Zhang Hui’s reply to her brother, it was obviously deception because the company had no urgent projects at all. This also shows that Zhang Hui may have been with other people that night.

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

Gu Chen looked up and looked around and asked, "Did anything disappear from your sister Zhang Hui?"

"Well..." Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Except for living together at night, my sister and I rarely have contact with each other."

"And my sister doesn't let me touch her things or enter her room, so... I don't know what things my sister has."

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan quickly added: "But the red bag and the pair of flat shoes she carried to work are missing. These are her standard accessories for work."

"That means your sister might have been wearing work clothes when she disappeared?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Zhang Fan nodded: "It should be."

"Which one is it specifically?" Lu Weiwei asked him.

"Just...a gray suit, the sleeveless kind, because my sister has a very good figure, and wearing this sleeveless suit will show off her figure."

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

?”

"Yeah." Zhang Fan nodded.

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

"Um... I added some whitening filters, some face-slimming special effects, and my eyes were enlarged a bit. Others... I don't think there are any, because my sister usually looks like this."

Officer Wang glanced at it and couldn't help but complain: "As long as the special effects are not too outrageous, it's mainly to make it easier for us police to identify the person involved."

"Yes, yes, you are right, but the similarity between this photo and her is about 80%."

"That's good." Officer Wang nodded slightly and couldn't help but said: "Last time, a man said that his girlfriend cheated him out of a lot of money, and then his girlfriend disappeared. He asked our police to help him find someone."

"As a result, our police found her in a rental house based on the identity information provided by the man. However, the photo provided by the man was completely different from the appearance of the woman in front of him."

"We were shocked at the time and thought we had arrested the wrong person. Later we found out that this woman's makeup skills were top-notch, and coupled with the beautification function of the mobile phone software, it was completely unrecognizable that it was the same person."

"That won't happen. My sister is very beautiful to begin with. She is also very beautiful even without photoshopped photos. You can definitely recognize her with this photo."

"That's good." Seeing Zhang Fan's confirmation, Officer Wang no longer hesitated.

At this time, Gu Chen asked again: "Does your sister have anyone she is particularly close to? For example... best friend? Colleague? Or someone else? For example, her boyfriend?"

"Well, you have to let me think about it carefully." Zhang Fan did not answer immediately and quickly fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Zhang Fan shook his head: "I haven't heard of anyone she has a particularly good relationship with, but I have seen someone driving a white BMW 5 Series to take her home a few times."

"Did you see who he was clearly?" Gu Chen asked.

Zhang Fan shook his head: "How can you see clearly here? That person didn't get out of the car. Maybe... he's a colleague from the company or something?"

"Time." Gu Chen said.

"The time...maybe in the past two weeks, I forget the specific day. It usually goes downstairs around 11pm."

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

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

After Gu Chen recorded these clues in the case, he stood up and continued to warn: "What items have been lost in your home? You'd better count them again. Once you've made the count, let us know."

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