Detective From the Future

"Can you repeat that please?"

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. I'm safe now. I want to divorce your brother-in-law. I want to live outside for a few days," He Ru read.

Zheng Kaixuan made a decisive decision: "Call your sister."

"Oh," He Ru replied and dialed He Yan's number.

"Sorry, the user you called has been deactivated."

"Sorry, the number..."

"Close the phone."

"Bring in the tech team and let them find the location where the text message is sent from," Zheng Kaixuan shouted.

"Yes, Captain," Zhao Ming replied and left the office.

"Look at this text, was it your sister who sent it?" Han Bin glanced at the phone.

"I do not know."

"Has your sister ever run away from home?"

He Ru began to recall: "I remembered many years ago that she once tried to escape from the house."

"When is it exactly?"

"A few years ago, she was unmarried at that time."

"How is the relationship between your sister and your brother-in-law?"

"It's good, I haven't heard her talk about a divorce," He Ru said.

"How old is your sister's child?" Han Bin asked.

"5 years."

"You will send her another text message and ask her to call and report her safety after receiving the text."

"Okay," He Ru replied and pulled out her cell phone to edit the text message.

At that time, Zhao Ming and Lu Wen walked into the office.

"Captain Zheng, you are looking for me."

Zheng Kaixuan pointed to a chair and motioned for Lu Wen to sit down:

"This person's sister is missing, she just reported the case. She just received a text from the missing person. Now the missing person's phone is off. Your technical team can help us verify the location of the person who sent the text message."

"Captain Zheng, this is not a kidnapping case. You have to apply for the criminal police team before our tech team can investigate," Lu Wen said with a smile.

"The fastest application process will take half a day. Beat the iron while it is hot. Check. You can check first, while I will go through the process for you," Zheng Kaixuan said.

"Is that..." Lu Wen was a little embarrassed.

"Don't be a mother-in-law, be a man."

"What's the phone number?" Lu Wen said helplessly.

"It's pretty much the same," Zheng Kaixuan smiled and pointed out He Yan's cell phone number to the other party.

"Eh..."

Lu Wen sighed, stood up, and took two steps, then turned around and said: "Don't forget applying."

"Don't worry, I'll write an app now."

......

"Is there a reply to the SMS?" Han Bin said.

"No," He Ru shook her head.

"When your sister left, did she bring any extra clothes?"

"I do not know."

"Who does your sister live with?"

"My brother-in-law, her daughter, and her mother-in-law," He Ru replied.

Han Bin was a little puzzled: "Why didn't your brother-in-law call the police?"

"He went to my sister at the place my sister often goes and asked me to come and report the case."

Han Bin moaned for a moment: "Text your sister and say you worry about her. Tell her to call you to report her safety, or you will call the police."

Tian Li frowned: "Is it too risky? If He Yan is kidnapped, will it be dangerous for her?"

"Send her, we must first determine the nature of the case, He Yan may be in danger," Zheng Kaixuan said.

He Ru received a text from her sister. If the text message was sent by He Yan, it means she is not in danger, but that she is running away from home because of family conflicts. The other party was an adult and the police have no right to intervene. If she was controlled by someone else and this text message is sent by someone else, it will likely be an abduction case, and nature will be different and the method of processing will be different.

According to Han Bin's prompt, He Ru sent another text message and after waiting a long time, there was still no response.

"Captain Zheng and Captain Zhang, this is not a problem we expected. I suggest going to the missing person's house. Her husband and stepmother should know more about the missing person's situation," Han Bin suggested.

"Take a trip with Li Hui," Zhang Ping urged: "As you pass, take the statements of the missing person's mother-in-law and husband."

"Understood."

......

Li Hui, Han Bin, and He Ru went to He Yan's home, she lived in an urban village in the suburbs, in an all-terrain vehicle. Li Hui was driving, He Ru sat next to him in the co-driver showing him the way, and Han Bin sat in the back row.

"Inspector Li, turn right forward and you're there," He Ru ordered.

"Miss Ru, is your sister's house rented or bought?"

"Praised, her mother-in-law's family is also a stranger."

"Miss Ru, are you married?" Li Hui asked.

"Married."

"Oh, it's early enough to get married."

"The older a woman, the harder it is to endure," said He Ru.

"Let me ask; when you got married, did your husband have a house in this town?" Li Hui glanced to the right.

"No we don't have a house, and we rent a house and live nearby," He Ru shrugged.

"Renting is good, I also rent a house," Li Hui smiled.

After a while, the three came to He Yan's home.

Han Bin got out of the car and looked at the surrounding environment. It was a small two-story building with a small courtyard of only a dozen square meters. The toilet is in the yard, and the house looked a bit old.

"The owner of the first floor is an old man and my sister's family lives on the second floor," He Ru gave a brief introduction.

The interior space of the small building on the second floor was not large, the stairs were installed outside, and the concrete stairs and iron handrails rusted. There were three rooms on the second floor, two bedrooms and a utility room. In the Dongtou room, an old lady of around 60 was playing with a little girl. The furniture in the room was very basic.

"He Ru is here, have you found your sister?" asked the old lady.

"Aunt, those two are Police Officers; Officer Han and Officer Li, they are here to help us find my sister," He Ru introduced.

"Mr. Police officers, please sit down," The old lady stood up and bowed.

"Aunt," The little girl ran and squeezed He Ru's leg.

"Yuanyuan," He Ru hugged the child.

"Mr. Constable, when can I find my daughter-in-law?" asked the old lady.

"Old lady, we are here this time to help you find your daughter-in-law, but some situations are not very clear. I hope you can help us investigate and provide useful clues, "Han Bin opened the law enforcement recorder.

"What do you mean?" The old lady did not understand.

"Aunt, answer any questions related to your daughter-in-law so that we can find her as soon as possible," Li Hui explained.

"Oh, ask," the old lady said.

Han Bin: "..."

"Aunt, what's your name? How old are you?"

"My name is Wang Zhaodi, and I am 61 years old this year," The old lady replied, with some doubt: "Won't you ask about my daughter-in-law?"

"Routine investigation."

"Oh yes!"

"How is the relationship between He Yan and your son?"

"What's wrong? What has that got doing with my son?" asked the old lady.

"My sister sent a message earlier, saying she doesn't want to live with my brother-in-law and wants a divorce," He Ru interjected.

"It's impossible," Wang Zhaodi showed a surprised look.

"Miss Ru, when I do the transcription, don't speak or interrupt me," Han Bin warned.

"Understood."

"Aunt Zhaodi, how is the relationship between your son and your daughter-in-law?" Han Bin asked.

"Their husband and wife relationship has always been very harmonious," Wang Zhaodi blinked several times.

Everyone's little actions while lying are different. If the blinking frequency is too high, it means the inner mood is unstable, and it is also one of the most common manifestations of lying.

Han Bin marked it in his notebook and kept asking:

"Aunt Zhaodi, how is your relationship with He Yan?"

"Alright," Wang Zhaodi blinked again, "Just like my daughter."
