Chapter 807: Affecting the Image of the People's Police
Xiao Shiqiu gave Captain Wen a blank look, "You know that what you have won't pass the inspection, yet you still want my uncle to give you a special approval?"
Captain Wen was getting a little impatient. "Old Xiao, we've known each other since we were naked, and you still don't trust me? When have I ever caused trouble for our uncle?"
This time he didn't call him Mr. Xiao anymore, Sven went straight to sweep the floor.
Xiao Shiqiu's face darkened. "Get lost! You're only in elementary school and you're still naked!"
I burst out laughing, but Captain Wen was still unconvinced and said, "We went to the same kindergarten. Just tell me if you were naked back then."
A cup lid flew directly towards Captain Wen, and he caught it with his hand, cursing, "You wasted money! You threw away the lid of a cup worth tens of thousands of dollars. If you don't want it anymore, give it to me."
Xiao Shiqiu snatched the cup lid from his hand and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense in front of my wife. It's affecting the image of the people's police."
I quickly suppressed my laughter and waved my hands, "No, no, Captain Wen's image is still quite tall and glorious."
Captain Wen stopped joking and said seriously, "Lao Xiao, talk to our uncle and make an appointment for me. This matter may be very difficult to deal with through the normal process, so I have no choice but to contact him."
Xiao Shiqiu pondered for a moment and asked, "How sure are you that these cases are related to the Lu family?"
"I wouldn't dare say that all 31 cases are related to the Lu family, but based on my experience, 80% are related. There are also quite a few missing persons cases that are also closely linked to his family. We just need to continue investigating."
Captain Wen paused. "I just skimmed through the case files this time. I only picked out those cases that not only recorded the physical examination, but also the medical examination institution. There are also some disappearance cases that only mentioned the physical examination but did not record the medical examination institution. I didn't dare include them."
Captain Wen stood up and began pacing around the office. "What these cases have in common is that they all had medical examinations within three months of their disappearance."
I felt a chill run down my spine again. "Isn't this enough to prove the relevance of the case?"
Captain Wen shook his head, "Not enough."
"Why?" I don't quite understand. In my opinion, they are not only related and similar, but exactly the same.
"Because there are so many different medical examination institutions, some are regular hospitals, some are private institutions, and there are even mobile medical examination vehicles for blood donation."
He paused and continued, "Especially since these disappearances are scattered across the country, not concentrated in a few cities, and appear to have no connection at all."
Xiao Shiqiu frowned thoughtfully, "If these cases are really related, then the scale of this organization..."
"It's terrifyingly large!" Captain Wen responded decisively, "And their methods are professional, their anti-detection capabilities are strong, and they leave almost no trace!"
"Are all of them missing abroad?" I asked.
"That's not the case. There are also cases of people going missing within China," Captain Wen said. "For example, I saw a recent case involving an IT engineer in City S. He came back one day and said that after his company gave employees their annual physicals, he had won a prize in a lottery at the medical examination facility: a trip to Sanya. It wasn't a holiday at the time, and his child was still in school, so he went on his own."
"Also on a cruise ship?" I couldn't help but blurt out.
"No," Captain Wen pulled out his phone. "This is a video the local police obtained from the hotel."
The picture on the phone was a bit blurry, probably because the lens was dirty, but you could still make out a man who looked drunk, being supported by two women as he walked into the elevator.
I gasped: "This is kidnapping!"
"The problem is," Captain Wen put away his phone, "the local police said the elevator surveillance didn't capture the faces of those three people, and the other surveillance cameras in the hotel didn't capture any useful footage. They seemed to disappear after entering the elevator."
Xiao Shiqiu suddenly stood up: "I need to make a call." He walked to the window on the other side, his voice low.
Captain Wen continued to explain, "The most difficult aspect of these cases is the standard for filing a case. If an adult goes missing and there are no signs of violence or extortion, no matter how anxious the family is, the police can only treat it as a normal missing person."
"But if these cases are really related..." My voice trembled a little. I thought about the time when I was kidnapped in Yun Province. If Xiao Shiqiu hadn't given me the life-saving artifact, I would probably have been torn to pieces by now.
Captain Wen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, "If they are really related, then it is a serial crime, and a national-level case."
At this time, his eyes were particularly sharp, "The problem is the evidence. The medical examination records are legal, the methods of disappearance are different, and they are distributed all over the country. There is no direct evidence to show that they are related." He clenched his right fist and hit his left hand heavily.
Xiao Shiqiu came back with a very ugly look on his face.
"I asked my assistant to check," he said in a tense voice, "In the past two years, besides Jiang Yongzhe, two other employees of our group have gone missing.
Since we were all low-level employees, I didn’t even know about it.
The company's physical examination is held in March every month, and they all stopped coming to work after May 1st without completing the resignation process. No one noticed at the time."
The room was so quiet that the only sound was the breathing of the three of us.
Captain Wen stood up suddenly: “I need detailed information about these two employees.
Also, which institution does your company conduct physical examinations at?"
"I don't know. I've never cared about it." Xiao Shiqiu shook his head and took out his phone again. "But I can ask right away."
"Xiao Yang, which institution does the company hold its annual physical examinations? ...Who decides on it? Also, please send the information on the two missing employees to my phone once it's compiled."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shiqiu looked at Captain Wen, "My assistant said she used to work at an organization called Qikang. My previous assistant recommended her to HR. After she went to the marketing department, HR changed jobs."
Captain Wen suddenly seemed to think of something, "Lao Xiao, your company has so many people, do you have physical examinations every year?"
"Oh, it's an annual physical examination, but not for everyone. Employees over 40 years old have a physical examination every three years, and those under 40 years old have a physical examination every five years. Everyone takes turns to have the physical examination. What's wrong with that?" Xiao Shiqiu was quite clear about this policy.
"It's nothing. I just thought that with so many people in your company, the cost of having a physical examination for each person every year is quite high. The big capitalists are willing to spend money." Captain Wen began to squeeze Xiao Shiqiu again.
"My uncle's time is actually quite difficult..."
Captain Wen immediately put on a serious expression and shook Xiao Shiqiu's hands with both hands: "As an outstanding national entrepreneur, your sense of social responsibility will definitely not allow you to watch criminals continue to run rampant."
Xiao Shiqiu shook his hand off with a look of disgust, "Get lost! Stop trying to tug at me! Do we know each other well?"
Captain Wen opened his mouth and said, "We are naked..."
"Stop, I'm calling my uncle!"
