In the bureau chief's office.
"Hehe, young people are full of energy and passion. I'm really envious." Bureau Chief Feng smiled.”
" I was the same when I was young," Liu Heng said enviously." I was obsessed with work and couldn't extricate myself. Unfortunately, I didn't have Xu Chen's ability or luck."”
Bureau Chief Feng looked at Liu Heng.
"Old Liu, we're not young anymore. If we don't improve, we might not have a chance in this lifetime.”
Liu Heng knew what Bureau Chief Feng meant.
He nodded and sighed,"I hope Xu Chen's arrival will be of help to our bureau."?”
In the officialdom, everyone wanted to improve, but there were too many traps. Most people did not have the opportunity to advance.
Bureau Chief Feng had been in charge for five years, and Liu Heng had also been in charge for five years.
Now, if the two of them wanted to be promoted, they only lacked an opportunity.
Xu Chen was the opportunity that Chief Feng had been looking forward to.
The reason why Chief Feng recommended Xu Chen was because he valued Xu Chen's ability.
If Xu Chen could join the West River County Bureau, with Xu Chen's ability, he could easily solve all the murder cases in West River County.
Under such circumstances, Bureau Chief Feng could very likely be promoted to the municipal bureau with his higher crime solving rate.
Once Bureau Chief Feng was promoted, Liu Heng would become the head of the county bureau.
Therefore, both of them had high hopes for Xu Chen's arrival.
........
Half an hour later, Xu Chen arrived at the entrance of the municipal bureau.
The security guard recognized Xu Chen and took the initiative to greet him."You're here to look for Section Chief Qin again!"
Xu Chen shook his head." I'm not looking for her today. I'm looking for Captain Li. Give Captain Li a call."”
After the security guard made the call, he let Xu Chen in.
Fourth floor, captain's office.
Li Hang invited Xu Chen to sit on the sofa and made him a cup of tea.
"Xiao Xu, have a seat. I wonder if you can help with a case.”
"What case?" Xu Chen asked.
" It's a missing person case," Li Hang said." Half a month ago, we received a report from a family member and started investigating. However, we haven't found the missing person yet."”
"Why are you looking for me for a missing person case? I thought you found the body.”
Xu Chen was puzzled.
"No bodies were found. That's the strangest part." Li Hang continued.”
"In modern society, there are so many surveillance cameras. We also spent a lot of police force, but a living person just disappeared into thin air.”
"You mean that this person was killed and his body was hidden?" Xu Chen asked thoughtfully.”
Li Hang looked at Xu Chen with approval.
This kid was good. His brain worked really fast.
"Our guess is the same as yours. It's very likely that she was killed. Moreover, we suspect that the missing person was killed by her husband, the person who reported the case.”
Xu Chen was still puzzled after Li Hang finished speaking. He said,""Then investigate her husband!"
Li Hang shook his head solemnly.
"It's not that we haven't investigated, but we haven't found any useful evidence or clues.”
"We have no other choice now, so we thought of asking you for help to see if you can help us solve this case.”
Xu Chen thought for a moment and said,"I can try, but I can't guarantee that I can help you."?”
Xu Chen did not dare to make any guarantees without a corpse.
Seeing that Xu Chen did not refuse, Li Hang heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Xu Chen was still somewhat confident. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to give it a try.
However, he did not know how confident Xu Chen was to solve this case without a corpse.
......
Xu Chen and Li Hang sat at the same table for lunch in the cafeteria.
Qin Yueru also came to the cafeteria. Both of them saw Qin Yueru.
Li Hang greeted Qin Yueru, and Xu Chen only glanced at him indifferently.
After dinner, Li Hang arranged for two police officers to go with Xu Chen to the missing person's home to investigate.
One of the two police officers was called Lu Da, and the other was called Dong Gang.
They came from the Criminal Investigation Unit's First Brigade. They were all around the age of 30. They were young, strong, and capable.
The two of them had witnessed Xu Chen's ability to solve the case.
She also learned through the grapevine that Xu Chen had passed the provincial special talent review and would soon be appointed as a section-level cadre.
Therefore, he was very polite to Xu Chen on the surface.
In the car, Lu Da and Dong Gang introduced the details of the case to Xu Chen.
Including the identity, occupation, and habits of the missing person and her husband.
Xu Chen listened very seriously.
In the future, when he joined the police force, it was impossible for him to just solve murder cases.
All kinds of cases had to be handled, so he couldn't be picky.
When he arrived at the missing person's home, Xu Chen met the missing person's husband, Xu Guoli.
The moment he opened the door and saw the police, an anxious expression appeared on Xu Guoli's face.
"Officer, is there any news about my wife?”
Lu Da shook his head. Xu Guoli's face was filled with sadness and disappointment.
"It's been half a month. My wife has been missing for half a month.”
His tone was filled with complaints and accusations.
Lu Da comforted Xu Guoli." Don't worry. The police have been doing our best to find her. We came to find you today to get more information about your wife."”
Lu Da and Dong Gang sat on the sofa and pretended to ask Xu Guoli.
Xu Guoli answered all kinds of questions honestly.
Xu Chen suddenly asked Xu Guoli,"Can I walk around your house?"
"Are you a police officer too?"
Seeing that Xu Chen was not wearing a police uniform, Xu Guoli was stunned for a moment.
"He is our leader." Lu Da replied.
Leader?
Xu Guoli's face was filled with suspicion. Xu Chen looked obviously younger than Lu Da and Dong Gang. He did not expect him to be a leader.
However, he still nodded and said to Xu Chen,"Feel free to take a look."
After getting permission, Xu Chen first walked around the living room.
Then, he entered the couple's bedroom.
Then, she went to the kitchen, bathroom, and balcony.
He spent a few minutes walking around Xu Guoli's house.
Xu Guoli glanced at Xu Chen from time to time.
Seeing that Xu Chen did not touch anything and only walked around, he no longer paid attention to Xu Chen and continued to answer Lu Da's questions.
Towards the end of his answer, his expression became more and more agitated. His face once again showed sorrow, and his eyes were red.
"Before my wife went missing, she acted very normal. The night before, she even talked to me about the marriage of our children.”
"I didn't expect that he would disappear the next day.”
At this point, he became emotional and burst into tears.
Looking at his performance, Xu Chen could not help but sneer and mock,"
"What a loving couple. Your hypocritical appearance is really disgusting. Your wife is really unlucky to have met you.”
Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, Xu Guoli, Lu Da, and Dong Gang turned to look at Xu Chen.
Xu Guoli was shocked and angry. He stood up and roared at Xu Chen,"
"What are you talking about?"
After saying that, like an enraged bull, he charged at Xu Chen with a red face.
Pa!
Xu Guoli did not even manage to touch Xu Chen's fur before he was knocked to the ground by Xu Chen's punch.
He was wailing in pain on the ground.
"He's the murderer, take him away.”
Xu Chen said coldly.
