Chapter 13 Acceptance Results

Three nights ago, Zhou Xubai received a call from Su Yumian and waited at the apartment door. He didn't hear Su Yumian's voice on the other end of the phone until a long time later, and then he came to the alley where Su Yumian walked every day.

As a result, he didn't see anyone, only a mobile phone that was still on the line. He picked up the phone and searched along the way without success, so he went to the police station.

However, there was only one police officer on duty at the time, and they refused to handle the case on the grounds that Su Yumian was an adult and had been missing for less than 72 hours.

Now he has waited for three days, but there is still no news from Su Yumian. He can't wait any longer.

I put on my coat and hurried downstairs to the police station. It was the morning rush hour and the police station was very busy.

"Hello, I want to call the police. My friend is missing." Zhou Xubai said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the police officer who was sitting in front of the computer typing away took out a form from a drawer beside him and handed it to him, saying, "Fill in the missing person's name, phone number, and home address clearly."

“…Oh, okay.”

Zhou Xubai took the form, filled it out quickly, handed it to the police officer, and asked, "Then please send the police as soon as possible."

Without even looking up, the officer casually handed the form to another person and said, "It needs to be entered into the system first, then transferred to the Missing Persons Unit. They'll review it before they send officers to investigate."

"How long will that take?"

"If it's fast, it'll be tomorrow. If it's slow..." the police officer shrugged. "Probably two or three days. Go back and wait for notification."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xubai slammed his hand on the table, angrily yelling, "Wait again? You made me wait for 72 hours before. Fine, I waited, but now you're making me wait again. By the time you guys find the time, my friend will be dead!"

Seeing him getting angry, an old policeman next to him finally looked up and frowned, "Sir, don't get excited..."

"If it was your wife and children who were missing, would you not be excited?!" Zhou Xubai, who was always calm and reserved, could not keep calm at all when he encountered Su Yumian.

The young police officer also became angry when he heard this: "Sir, watch your words!"

The two sides were arguing fiercely when a middle-aged man wearing a black jacket and smoking a cigarette walked into the police station.

Seeing Zhou Xubai making a fuss, he stopped a young police officer and asked, "Hey, what's going on over there?"

"Oh, a missing person report. The family members are a little emotional. Captain, you just come now. Where did you get drunk last night?" The young police officer's teasing tone was obvious.

"Get out of here! How dare you tease me?" The squadron leader kicked the young police officer in annoyance and was about to turn around and walk towards his office.

Just as he took a step, he heard Zhou Xubai suddenly shout, "My friend has been kidnapped. What the hell are you police officers doing?!"

The word "kidnapping" exploded in the police station lobby like a sledgehammer, and several people who were doing business looked over.

Seeing that the discussion had already started, the squadron leader put out his cigarette and then strode towards Zhou Xubai.

"Boy, you just said kidnapping, do you have any evidence?"

Zhou Xubai's breathing stagnated as he looked at the person in front of him.

This man seems nonchalant, but his eyes are as sharp as knives.

"Squadron, this guy is just making trouble. We..."

The squadron leader raised his hand to interrupt the young police officer, then said to Zhou Xubai: "Come with me."

After saying that, he walked towards his office first.

Seeing this, Zhou Xubai hurried to follow.

After they sat down, the squadron leader asked, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Cheng Ye. Now tell me why you believe this is a kidnapping."

Hearing this, Zhou Xubai fished Su Yumian's phone out of his pocket and pulled up the call log. "Three days ago, the last person he called before he disappeared was me. He dropped his phone in the alley, and there are still signs of a struggle."

Cheng Ye stared at the phone on the table and chuckled, "This alone is not enough to determine it was kidnapping. Is there anything else?"

Zhou Xubai lowered his head, recalling the scene that day when Su Yumian stared at his bruised face and locked him in the bathroom, "Yes."

Afterwards, Zhou Xubai told Cheng Ye all about Su Yumian's unusual behavior over the past few days. After listening, Cheng Ye said to the young police officer, "Xiao Zhang, pull up the surveillance footage of that alley."

Xiao Zhang immediately started working on the computer. After a moment, he said with a look of embarrassment, "Captain, there's no surveillance in that alley."

Cheng Ye was stunned. He turned to look at Zhou Xubai and asked, "It's so late. What is he doing there?"

"He just got off work."

"What kind of Niuma Company works so late?" Cheng Ye taunted as he lit the cigarette he had been smoking.

“Working as a specimen restorer at HG Company.”

“Snap!”

The lighter fell on the table. Cheng Ye's expression froze for a moment, and he repeated, "Which company are you talking about?"

"HG Biotechnology Company, is there any problem?" Zhou Xubai was surprised by the squadron's reaction.

"Why did it have to be that company..."

He muttered softly, frowned, lit the cigarette, took a deep puff, and recalled a case from five years ago in his mind.

At that time, there was a madman who used living people for experiments in order to accurately calculate the specimen data. Although he arrested the madman at the time, he was eventually released due to insufficient evidence.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time, and the madman was given the nickname "madman".

"What was that madman's name?" Cheng Ye tilted his head and thought for a long time, "Fu something, it's been too long and I can't remember it clearly..."

Zhou Xubai listened to Cheng Ye's mumbling and seemed to hear a familiar name. He subconsciously asked, "Are you talking about Fu Quezhou?"

"Yes! It's Fu Quezhou." Cheng Ye clapped his hands.

Then Zhou Xubai said disapprovingly: "Are you saying that Fu Quezhou kidnapped my friend? Impossible."

Not to say it's impossible, but judging from the fact that Su Yumian talks to him about Fu Quezhou almost every day, Fu Quezhou is definitely not that kind of person.

The topic he and Su Yumian talked about most was Fu Quezhou, so he knew Fu Quezhou quite well.

Seeing his disbelief, Cheng Ye sneered and said, "Nothing is impossible. That madman can do anything."

Then he turned to the young police officer and said, "Xiao Zhang, prepare the search warrant."

The police officer was stunned and stammered, "Team Leader, but, but the procedure..."

"Bullshit about procedures!" Cheng Ye kicked over the trash can. "If someone dies, you useless bunch will be fired!"

Seeing Cheng Ye getting angry, Xiao Zhang quickly prepared a search warrant and handed it to him. Cheng Ye took it and said to Xiao Zhang, "Come with me."

Cheng Ye and Xiao Zhang went to the biological specimen department of HG Biotechnology Company together. They took out the search warrant and said to Tang Zhen, "Hello, we are from the Central Police Detachment. Is Fu Quezhou here?"

Tang Zhen stared at the ID that Cheng Ye showed him for a long time and stammered, "No, he's not here. He asked for leave and hasn't come to work for three days."

Hearing this, Cheng Ye and Xiao Zhang looked at each other, and Cheng Ye asked, "Please tell me where his home is."

Twenty minutes later, in the study of Fu Quezhou's villa, Secretary Jin pushed the door open and came in. Standing in front of the desk, he said, "Mr. Fu, the police went to the company to inquire about your whereabouts."

Hearing this, Fu Quezhou raised his head from a pile of documents and said calmly, "Why are you panicking? Is he still not eating?"

"right."

"Where is the new cell phone I asked you to buy?" Fu Quezhou asked.

Secretary Jin then pulled out a white cell phone from her pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Your number has been saved."

"Let's go and inspect the results of the taming."
