Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 581 The kidnappers are helping me clear away obstacles.
"Why tear up the ticket?"

Qu Tuotuo said with dissatisfaction:

“Su Mi didn’t come back to our rented place last night. I thought she went home.”

"Just now her mother called me and said she couldn't reach her and that Su Mi didn't come home last night."

Qu Tuotuo's voice became increasingly urgent:

"Her phone was switched off, and I contacted her other friends, but they all said they had never seen her."

"Da Zhang, what do we do now?"

Yu Dazhang did not answer immediately, but instead went through the matter in his mind.

The current situation is that Su Mi's family and friends can't contact her, but that's all, so it can't be confirmed yet that she has definitely been kidnapped.

He paused for a moment before slowly saying:
"It doesn't necessarily have to be a kidnapping. Maybe she was in a bad mood and wanted to be alone."

"It's also possible that she was out drinking alone yesterday and got picked up by someone... no, I mean she was taken to a hotel by a kind person and is still asleep."

He seemed to think that wasn't enough, and added:
"It's not unusual for a phone to run out of battery and stop working, don't be so sensitive about it."

Su Mi is currently out of contact, but she's not even missing, so what Yu Dazhang said is true.

"No, she must have been kidnapped," Qu Tuotuo retorted.
“Since I’ve known her, this has never happened before. Even when she had a fight with her family, we never lost contact with her.”

Why is he so stubborn...? Yu Dazhang knew Qu Tuotuo's temperament; once he made up his mind about something, it was very difficult to change it.

He would have tolerated it in the past.

She's a girl, and he's even his fiancée, so it's only right that he be considerate of her.

But when it comes to best friends, that's something you absolutely can't let go of.

Today, Yu Dazhang is going to change her temper.

There's a first time for everything.

Yu Dazhang's tone was no longer gentle; instead, he spoke to her in a reasoned manner:
"Just because she has never run away from home doesn't mean she would never do such a thing."

He further speculated:

"Besides, she's not getting any younger. If she meets someone she likes, it's very possible that they'll have a one-night stand."

"They had so much fun that they played until dawn. When they got tired, they fell asleep in each other's arms. They might still be asleep now."

At this moment, Wei Qian and Lü Zhongxin, who were standing next to him, exchanged a glance, and both of them saw doubt in each other's eyes.

This is all a mess.

They were listening in because they heard words like "kidnapping" and "murder".

As criminal police officers, they instinctively felt that someone had reported the case to Yu Dazhang.

Strictly speaking, kidnapping also falls under the category of eight types of cases and is the responsibility of their first brigade.

But the more they listened to the phone call, the more confused they became.

How come even "one-night stand" is being mentioned? What does this have to do with kidnapping?
One-night stand, one-night stand...

Is this a legitimate kidnapping?
“She’s not that kind of person!” Qu Tuotuo shouted from the other end of the phone.
"Although she can be quite carefree at times, she would never have a one-night stand."

She suddenly realized that she had lost her composure:
"Oh dear, why am I telling you this? Please help me call the police and find the person."

“I know you’re prejudiced against her, but this is really serious. She’s definitely been kidnapped.”

Yu Dazhang turned his head and glanced at the two people staring at him, naturally knowing what they were waiting for.

As a criminal investigator, I certainly don't want any cases to happen, but once one does, I'll definitely investigate it immediately. Getting involved sooner means solving the case as quickly as possible.

You are destined to be disappointed.

"Did Su Mi's family receive a ransom call from the kidnappers?" Yu Dazhang went straight to the point this time.

This question also made Qu Tuotuo realize the key point, and she answered truthfully:

"No."

“That solves it,” Yu Dazhang said matter-of-factly.
"If she had been kidnapped, her family would have received a ransom call long ago." When it comes to discussing cases, even ten Qu Tuotuos couldn't out-argue Yu Dazhang.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Yu Dazhang could easily render her speechless with just a little thought.

There are many reasons why people go missing.

At this point, he got a little carried away and became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke:

"For example, if Su Mi accidentally falls down the stairs, did you check the stairwell?"

"Or she didn't look for oncoming vehicles when crossing the street and got hit by one."

He slowed his speech slightly:
"It's also possible that someone mistook her for an enemy and stabbed her a few times."

Finally, he concluded:
"These are all possible reasons why she might go missing, so don't assume she's been kidnapped just because you can't contact her."

The missing person must have a grudge against this fat guy... Wei Qian and Lü Zhongxin had this thought almost simultaneously.

In just a short while, he listed several ways for the other party to die.

According to him, being kidnapped is actually the safest option.

"Can...can it be done?"

This question stumped Qu Tuotuo.

Those scenarios are indeed possible, and they can all lead to a person going missing.

Yu Dazhang ignored her question and instead pressed on:
"I'm just asking you, did you even check the stairwell?"

"I didn't watch it," Qu Tuotuo said truthfully.
"Who would have thought of that? Besides, why would we take the stairs when there's an elevator?"

She had just said that when she suddenly said urgently:

"Wait a minute, I have a phone call coming in. I'll call you back in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dazhang waved to Wei Qian and Lü Zhongxin:

“It’s nothing serious. My girlfriend’s best friend has gone missing, and she suspects she’s been kidnapped.”

Both of them sensed something was wrong, but out of trust in him, they didn't say anything.

About five minutes later, Qu Tuotuo called again.

"Su Mi has really been kidnapped. The kidnappers just called her family."

Her tone was full of anxiety and tension:

"Not only was she kidnapped, but Bai Jincheng, whom you've met before, was also kidnapped."

The kidnappers were really impatient... Yu Dazhang thought the kidnappers would wait two days before calling Su Mi's family.

I couldn't stand it for even a day.

"Bai Jincheng?"

Yu Dazhang repeated the name to himself, confirming that he did not know this person:
When did I see him?

Qu Tuotuo immediately replied:
"That time, when you came to the company to see me, two men wanted to ask me out, and he was one of them."

He remembered... After her reminder, Yu Dazhang immediately remembered the two men.

In Yu Dazhang's view, Su Mi and Bai Jincheng were both stumbling blocks on his path of love.

Heaven has eyes.

This kidnapper's target selection was incredibly precise.

"Don't be impatient yet."

As a criminal investigator, Yu Dazhang still needs to take cases seriously:

"Give me their addresses, and I'll report to the team right now."
