I am a super cop

"Wait a minute." Gu Chen seemed to realize something? He also quickly asked: "You mean, the last time your sister contacted her husband was through text messages?"

"Yes." Hu Weidong nodded.

"Is there no voice or phone call?" Gu Chen asked again.

"No." Hu Weidong shook his head: "My brother-in-law said that he only received one text message at that time."

"After I got home, I packed up my clothes, but it really rained heavily that night."

"But since then, my brother-in-law has been unable to contact my sister. It felt a little strange at the time."

"Then why didn't he call the police?" Lu Weiwei was also a little curious.

"How do I know this? Sometimes I can't explain clearly what happened between the two of them. I also asked him, why didn't he call the police?"

"He said that my sister has such a temper that sometimes she would play cards with her colleagues until very late and then go straight to work the next day."

"Playing cards all night?" When Officer Wang heard this, he also asked curiously: "Didn't your brother-in-law have any suspicions?"

"He had doubts." Hu Weidong nodded silently and said involuntarily:

"For this reason, he also went to the mahjong parlor to find my sister. This is not the first time."

"So he thought that this time, my sister went to play mahjong with her colleagues again."

"Anyway, the two of them had a quarrel about this matter, but later, my brother-in-law said that he had looked away, but this time, he didn't find my sister coming home for a long time."

"And my nephew has been staying at my house. The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. I still feel that this matter may have something to do with my brother-in-law."

"Why do you think so? Or are you always dissatisfied with your brother-in-law?" Yuan Shasha could also hear Hu Weidong's dissatisfaction with his brother-in-law.

After Hu Weidong calmed down briefly, he slowly said: "Let me tell you straight, I am not very satisfied with my sister's marriage."

"My sister is married for the second time, and her husband is also married for the second time. Especially when I inquired, her husband divorced because of domestic violence."

"So, it's hard for me not to imagine, would he domestically abuse my sister?"

"So, I have always been somewhat prejudiced against my brother-in-law, which is natural."

With a faint sigh, Hu Weidong added: "But less than half a year after these two got married, my sister disappeared. I always feel that this matter may have something to do with my brother-in-law."

Seeing no reaction from everyone, Hu Weidong was a little anxious and continued to explain: "I'm not kidding, this intuition is very strong."

"As for my sister, although she likes playing cards, she will never leave her children alone."

"What's more, for five consecutive days, my brother-in-law didn't seem to want to report the crime at all."

"I thought about it, and I just felt like something was wrong. I just felt like this must have something to do with him."

"Okay." After hearing this, Gu Chen interrupted: "Is this community your home? Or your sister's home?"

"My sister's house." Hu Weidong said.

"Is your brother-in-law at home?" Gu Chen said.

"He works nearby. If necessary, I can ask him to come back and open the door and cooperate with the investigation." Hu Weidong continued to explain.

"Okay, then call him over and we'll wait here." Officer Wang said.

After receiving confirmation from the police, Hu Weidong immediately picked up his cell phone and contacted his brother-in-law.

During the phone communication, Gu Chen also observed the surrounding environment.

It can be said that this community near Huancheng Road seems to have just been built, and many of the surrounding green areas have not yet been completed.

Moreover, the community here looks like it belongs to the kind of centralized resettlement housing for demolition.

Therefore, many surrounding supporting facilities are not perfect.

While Gu Chen was observing, Hu Weidong also completed the phone call.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately explained to Gu Chen: "Comrade police, my brother-in-law works nearby and he will be here soon."

"About how long?" Gu Chen asked.

"If you drive, it will take about... about 15 minutes." Hu Weidong explained.

"Okay, let's wait here." Gu Chen said.

"No, let's go downstairs and wait." Hu Weidong didn't want to stay at the gate, and there was only a newly built guard booth at the gate of the community.

But there was no guard in the guard booth, just some miscellaneous construction waste piled up.

When Hu Weidong led everyone to the downstairs of a unit building, he began to explain the specific situation of his brother-in-law to Gu Chen and others:

"My brother-in-law works as a manager in a nearby company, and he met my sister at a drinking party."

"The husband of my sister's colleague at the time worked in the same workplace as my current brother-in-law."

"So, knowing that my sister was divorced and had a child, I wanted to bring these two together."

"Later, within two months of knowing each other, the two decided to get together. It just so happened that my brother-in-law didn't have any children either, so he happened to be willing to accept my sister's child."

"I thought to myself that my sister has finally found a home, so I am very happy for her."

"But later, when my little nephew came to my house to play, he told me that his mother and his stepfather didn't seem to have the right personalities and there would be conflicts."

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just felt that there would be some conflicts when reorganizing a family, but if we work together well, basically there won't be any big problems."

"But later I found out that it was not what I thought at all. I heard that my brother-in-law divorced his ex-wife because of domestic violence."

"So, privately, I went to his company to inquire about my brother-in-law's personality, and found that all this was true."

Speaking of this, Hu Weidong seemed helpless.

Yuan Shasha nodded silently: "So, your brother-in-law does have some violent tendencies. Is it because of this reason that you think your sister's disappearance is related to him?"

"Yes." Faced with Yuan Shasha's question, Hu Weidong nodded and confirmed: "To be honest, I just can't trust my brother-in-law."

"Especially his attitude of not wanting to call the police makes me feel very suspicious. If I don't doubt him, who should I doubt?"

"Okay, we understand." After Officer Wang finished speaking, a black off-road vehicle drove up not far away.

Hu Weidong took a look and immediately reminded everyone: "This is my brother-in-law's car."

While he was talking, the car stopped in front of everyone.

A dark-skinned man with short hair wearing sunglasses also got out of the car and walked up to Hu Weidong.

"This is the policeman who came here to help us investigate the whereabouts of my sister. Comrade policeman, this is my brother-in-law, Zhao Haiyang."

"Hello." The man named Zhao Haiyang took off his sunglasses and shook hands with Gu Chen and others:

"It's really troublesome for you to come here to investigate."

"You're welcome." Gu Chen shook hands and asked him curiously:

"By the way, Mr. Zhao Haiyang, your lover has been missing for five days. Why didn't you choose to call the police? Aren't you anxious?"

"I'm anxious. How can I not be anxious?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Haiyang looked embarrassed and couldn't help but say:

"But after all, she always goes to play cards and mahjong with her gangster friends. Sometimes she often doesn't go home for several days."

"In the end, I didn't even care about the child. I went to the mahjong parlors she frequented, looking for her one by one, and brought her home."

"Impossible." Before Zhao Haiyang finished speaking, Hu Weidong on the side quickly retorted:

"I know my sister best. She may like to play cards, but she also has a certain temperament in playing cards."

"It's impossible for her to leave her child alone. The child is her heart and soul, so I don't quite believe the circumstances you mentioned."

When he said this, Hu Weidong also waved his hands and put his hands on his hips, looking like he didn't believe it.

When Zhao Haiyang saw this, he walked up to Gu Chen, pointed at Hu Weidong and said: "Comrade police, look, what I said is true, but he doesn't believe it."

"You said that if she really went to play cards, and the game was a bit big, and I called the police like this, and then you went to the chess and card room and killed her, what would happen to me?" "My sister can't be addicted to playing cards." As soon as Zhao Haiyang finished speaking, Hu Weidong on the side became anxious and retorted directly:

"As I said, she only plays cards occasionally. My nephew can also testify."

"What do children know? When I lived in your house, wouldn't my wife go out and play cards?" Faced with Hu Weidong's rebuttal, Zhao Haiyang also chose to confront Hu Weidong head-on.

Both of them seemed to be unhappy with each other, but they couldn't break the window because of their relatives.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Lu Weiwei quickly reached out and interrupted:

"Then what? Now don't make any noise here."

Glancing at Hu Weidong beside her, Lu Weiwei also explained: "Since Mr. Hu chose to report the case, we will definitely help investigate this matter."

After the words fell, Lu Weiwei saw Zhao Haiyang looking to the side again and continued:

"So, Mr. Zhao Haiyang, should you also cooperate with us in our work?"

"Of course." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Zhao Haiyang chose to nod in agreement.

"So, can you take us to your home?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Okay, come with me." With a faint sigh, Zhao Haiyang felt like a doormat at the moment and could only bite the bullet and take everyone upstairs.

Since the buildings here are all 7-story buildings, Zhao Haiyang's family lives on the third floor.

When Zhao Haiyang opened the door, he also took the initiative to invite everyone into the room: "Come in."

"Wait a moment." Gu Chen did not rush into the house, but stood at the door to complete the protection work.

After several people put on their headgear, footmuffs, masks and gloves, they entered the house for inspection.

And Zhao Haiyang and Hu Weidong also need to wear the same.

Everyone came to the living room together, and Zhao Haiyang also explained: "My house is a newly built demolition house when the Ring Road was built. I bought it from the landlord. It is a small-property house."

"Because I work nearby, it's very convenient to commute to and from get off work. I didn't do much decoration. I just did a simple renovation."

"The house is not big, just two rooms. We usually live in the master bedroom, and the second bedroom is for the children."

"Okay." Gu Chen walked into the room and started checking while listening to Zhao Haiyang's introduction.

But the room seemed to be very clean and there weren't many clues.

Lu Weiwei couldn't help but joked: "You and your lover, both of you are usually very clean?"

"Well, that's right." After hesitating, Zhao Haiyang also explained:

"Because this is a new house, I don't want to make it too messy, so I clean it often."

"Is it cleaned every day?" Officer Wang came out and asked after checking the bedroom.

"More or less, I basically clean it every two days because I have mysophobia." Zhao Haiyang said.

But Officer Wang said "tsk tsk" twice and said helplessly:

"It's true that you love cleanliness, but if your lover's disappearance is for a reason, then we need to inspect the house. If you clean it so clean, how can we inspect it?"

"Did you clean up so clean on purpose? Did you want to destroy some evidence?" As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Hu Weidong couldn't help but interrupt.

But when Zhao Haiyang heard that he didn't want to do it anymore, he said angrily: "Huh? I mean, in your eyes, are everyone else bad people?"

Pointing to the floor in front of him, Zhao Haiyang said angrily: "This is my home, my home. Is it wrong for me to clean my own home?"

"Then you shouldn't have cleaned the house so clean after my sister disappeared." Hu Weidong said.

"So what if I clean it?" It seemed that Hu Weidong was making him anxious, and Zhao Haiyang's tone began to become tougher.

When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly acted as a peacemaker, separated the two people with his hands, and reminded:

"Stop arguing, just calm down."

"Comrade police, you have to give me some judgment." Zhao Haiyang, who was out of breath, said in a bad mood:

"This is my own home. What's wrong with me cleaning my own home? Why do I have to listen to other people's instructions?"

Glancing at Hu Weidong, Zhao Haiyang also shook his head and said, "I admit, you seem to have never been very satisfied with your sister marrying me."

"I always feel that your sister should find someone with better conditions, but it is your sister who is getting married. She is willing to be with me. It is she and I who live together..."

"Okay, I don't want to quarrel with you." Before Zhao Haiyang finished speaking, Hu Weidong also waved his hand, pointed at Zhao Haiyang and said:

"Let me ask you, my sister is missing, why didn't you call the police?"

"I...didn't I explain it to you?" Facing Hu Weidong's question, Zhao Haiyang also spread his hands and looked speechless:

"I was thinking that she might be playing cards with her friends again. Since you haven't seen this before, you think it's impossible."

"You think you know your sister too well, but let me tell you, you don't know her at all."

"We, two brothers and sisters, have grown up together since we were young. How can I not understand? Haha, it's really funny."

"Okay." Hu Weidong here wanted to say a few more words, but Lu Weiwei quickly stopped him:

"I said, you called us here to help you find the missing person, so why can't you be quiet now and have something to say?"

"The quarrel is wasting our time and your own time. Can we get him back by arguing?"

Seeing that Hu Weidong and Zhao Haiyang were silent at this moment, Lu Weiwei also sighed and said:

"So you also know that quarreling can't bring someone back? So why are you quarreling?"

With a heavy sigh, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen. Seeing that Gu Chen was still standing aside calmly, Lu Weiwei also quickly reminded: "Junior brother Gu, please tell me."

"Yes." Gu Chen adjusted the law enforcement recorder and took the initiative to walk to Zhao Haiyang and reminded:

"When was the last time you contacted your lover?"

"Well, it was the afternoon five days ago, when I was about to get off work." Zhao Haiyang recalled.

"Should you call or send a text message?" Gu Chen asked again.

"It's for sending text messages." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Zhao Haiyang quickly explained:

"I hadn't gotten off work yet, but I received a text message from my wife saying that it was going to rain and asking me to quickly collect my clothes when I got home. She also said that I might be a little late from get off work."

"There was no contact after that?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhao Haiyang nodded silently: "Yes, later that day, I didn't see my wife come home very late, so I called her, but the call couldn't be reached."

"Because when she was playing cards with her poker friends all night long, she just bothered me by always calling her and interrupting her playing cards, so she was used to turning off her phone when playing cards."

"So I thought, she didn't answer the phone and just turned off her phone. Maybe she was playing cards with her poker friends outside."

When he said this, Zhao Haiyang also sighed heavily and said in a bad mood:

"So, what can I do? I didn't know she had these bad habits before, but after all, everyone is married."

"There are some bad habits, if you can tolerate them, tolerate them. I don't mind them very much."

"So, it's just a matter of course that she might have shut down for this reason."

"Later, I couldn't find anyone for a day or two in a row, and the child also needed someone to take care of me. I had to go to work again, so I had no choice but to send the child to his uncle's house."

"But in the end, the child's uncle felt that his sister's disappearance was related to me? Who am I to reason with this?"

"Okay." Gu Chen saw that as soon as Zhao Haiyang finished speaking, Hu Weidong wanted to interrupt, so he immediately interrupted:

"In other words, you think your lover is playing cards in the chess and card room? That's why you haven't come home, right?"

"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Zhao Haiyang nodded silently.

So Gu Chen asked again: "So, let me ask you, how many days was the longest your lover stayed away from home at night?"

"Uh, this..."

"Can you tell me a specific time?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei reminded her again and again.

Zhao Haiyang scratched the back of his head and said thoughtfully, "The longest time she played cards with her poker friends was when she didn't go home for two days."

"Okay." After hearing this, Gu Chen nodded slightly and said:

"In other words, she won't be home for two days at most, right?"

Seeing Zhao Haiyang nodding silently, Gu Chen added, "But this disappearance lasted for five days, which is far beyond the normal range. Don't you think it's suspicious at all?"
