Chapter 91 Failure
As for Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin, they left Tang Lan and Liu Caiyun's homes and went to the two women's parents' homes.
Compared to the eagerness and anxiety of their husband's families, the two women's own families did not seem to welcome them. They were even kicked out before they could say a few words.
Back in the car, Cao Bin drank a large bottle of water and said, "Yuan Fang, what do you think? In my opinion, there must be something fishy about this matter!"
Lin Wenjue stretched his arms and leaned back in his chair. "Lao Cao, I suspect that the disappearance of Tang Lan and Liu Caiyun is related to their families."
"What?"
Cao Bin perked up: "Yuan Fang, even though their families don't welcome us, but making their own family members disappear, this... is this really that serious?"
"How could it be possible?" Lin Wenjue opened his eyes: "Let me ask you, who called the police when Tang Lan and Liu Caiyun disappeared?"
Cao Bin thought without hesitation: "Their husbands, no, when we asked, it seemed that the mothers-in-law of these two families also went."
"Yes, when a woman goes missing, her husband and mother-in-law are the most anxious, but her own relatives are not."
Lin Wenjue sneered: "Moreover, when we went there just now, their family members even expressed that they wanted the other party to withdraw the case. They don't like reporting the case."
After Lin Wenjue finished speaking, he looked at Cao Bin meaningfully and said, "Sir, do you think my analysis is correct?"
Cao Bin's expression became serious. He thought for a long time and suddenly realized something: "Yes, Lao Lin, the feedback from Lu Tao is that Tang Lan and Liu Caiyun's husbands are suspected of domestic violence. We... when we went to their house just now..."
Lin Wenjue continued, "Yes, and the same thing is that the furniture in their house has signs of being damaged, as if it was broken during domestic violence. There is also new and old blood on the wall. I checked it and it should have been caused by a fight, so Lu Tao's speculation is valid."
"So, Tang Lan and Liu Caiyun disappeared because they couldn't stand the domestic violence?" Cao Bin said, "But, they wouldn't be murdered, right?"
Lin Wenjue shook his head: "It's unlikely that they were murdered, otherwise their husbands wouldn't be in such a hurry to find them. I think their disappearance must have been helped by their families."
Cao Bin stared at the steering wheel for a long while, then suddenly sighed: "Should we be happy or disappointed?"
Lin Wenjue added: "The most important thing is that Tang Lan's husband is a taxi driver, and Liu Caiyun's husband works on a construction site. In addition, our investigation of their other family members shows that these people have basically no chance of being exposed to large amounts of hydrofluoric acid, so they can basically be ruled out as suspects."
Cao Bin sighed deeply and wiped a small spot of mud on the car window with a tissue: "Then we have to tell Lu Tao, don't let that guy's investigation be in vain."
Lin Wenjue shook his head and said, "No, the reason why Lu Tao is in charge of the missing cases in the bureau means that he has the ability in this area. It's not that he doesn't understand these things, but he hasn't found out yet. If we rashly bring this up, it will not only question his professional ability, but also indirectly cause harm to Tang Lan and Liu Caiyun."
Seeing the mud spot on the car window wiped clean, Cao Bin felt relieved. He sighed, "You are right. We just saw how messy Tang Lan and Liu Caiyun's house is. The food on the table is not eatable. Why are their husbands so anxious to find them? Isn't it just to get them to come back and serve them..."
Lin Wenjue just smiled and said nothing.
Cao Bin snorted coldly: "In our family, men like this will be beaten..."
"When you went to drive the car, Tang Lan's two children ran out and said something to me." Lin Wenjue said with some sigh.
Cao Bin started the car: "What did you say?"
"The two kids told me that if they found Tang Lan, they should tell her that they could take care of themselves and asked her not to come back."
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond to him. He just smiled and said, "Then let's go back first?"
"Let's go back first." Lin Wenjue said, "I don't know how Chi Xia and Luo Xun are doing."
…
At this time, Chi Xia and Luo Xun happened to arrive at the school of Du Xiaoyu's ex-boyfriend Shen Ping and contacted Shen Ping.
When seeing Shen Ping, Chi Xia whispered to Luo Xun: "The young man's looks are indeed very popular among the sisters ."
"And he doesn't live off his wife?" Luo Xun joked, "Shen Ping's academic performance is among the top in the grade."
"That depends on how you eat it." As Chi Xia said this, Shen Ping had already walked up to them.
Shen Ping had just come out of the laboratory, his face was not very good: "I have said many times that Du Xiaoyu and I have broken up. It really doesn't matter to me where she is. Officer, can you please stop disturbing me? If you continue like this, my girlfriend will be angry ."
"Your girlfriend?" Luo Xun asked, "How long has it been since you broke up with Du Xiaoyu?"
Shen Ping looked at him speechlessly: "Four months, officer, it's been four months. It's okay for me to find another girlfriend, right? It doesn't count as betrayal, right?"
"What about the child?" Luo Xun sat down directly under the shade of the tree: "His mother is missing, as the child's father, aren't you worried?"
"Missing?"
Shen Ping sneered, "Officer, Du Xiaoyu did this a lot when she was with me. She has a good family background, a good job, and even better connections. I can't even count her number of friends, so no one can easily find her wherever she wants to hide. As for the child, Du Xiaoyu has better conditions to raise him now. It's good for him to be with Du Xiaoyu. Why should I worry?"
After hearing this, Luo Xun felt that he had no way to refute.
"Also, Du Xiaoyu took the initiative to ask for this child..." he added, even with a hint of grievance.
"When was the last time you met Du Xiaoyu?" Chi Xia asked him.
"As for meeting, we haven't met since we broke up, but we did call each other a few times because of the child."
He took out his phone and searched for a long time before finding the relevant call records: "See for yourself."
When Chi Xia and Luo Xun were looking at the call records, he said again: "Officer, you really don't have to worry. Du Xiaoyu has had more fun than me. When she talked to me, there were a few unclear people outside. Who knows where she is resting now. Have you seen her father? If you have seen him, you will understand. His father is simply suffocating. Du Xiaoyu is a person who yearns for freedom. How can she not disappear? No, she is not missing, she is escaping."
Chi Xia looked at the call records between him and Du Xiaoyu. Since they broke up, they had a call almost every month, and the last call was three months ago. Judging from Shen Ping's records, he had also tried to contact Du Xiaoyu in the past three months, but the other party did not answer his calls.
"You and Du Xiaoyu have a child, so there will inevitably be involvement in the future. Doesn't your current girlfriend mind?" Chi Xia handed him the phone and asked.
Shen Ping found it funny: "Why should she mind? I told her about my situation before we started dating. If she minds, she can just not be with me. Besides, it's a different era now. We're all planning to study abroad. We can't still be so backward, right?"
"Study abroad?" Luo Xun looked at him: "You want to study abroad?"
Shen Ping looked at him in confusion. "Yes, with my girlfriend, she works and I study abroad, it's the best of both worlds. So I have been busy studying abroad for the past few months and can't even leave the laboratory."
Luo Xun glanced at Chi Xia, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"Your laboratory should have hydrofluoric acid, right?" Chi Xia suddenly asked him.
Shen Ping looked blank for a moment: "Of course there is, but this thing is very dangerous and must be kept strictly. Why are you asking this?"
Chi Xia stared at his face, then looked at Luo Xun and shook his head gently.
Shen Ping wiped his face and said, "Officer, have you finished your questioning? My girlfriend is waiting for me to have dinner..."
Luo Xun and Chi Xia looked in the direction of his gaze and saw a woman with elegant clothes and delicate makeup. She was leaning against a red sports car and waving at Shen Ping.
"Okay, go ahead."
Luo Xun sighed secretly, touched his face, and suddenly asked him: "Shen Ping, what do you think of my face..."
Shen Ping stared at him from head to toe, and said with a smile, "Officer, you are in very good condition, you should hide away and don't let my girlfriend see you."
He turned and ran towards his girlfriend.
Luo Xun was still pinching his face, and took out his cell phone to take a picture of himself.
Chi Xia laughed: "Why, Captain Luo, you also want to make a living by your beauty?"
Luo Xun looked regretful, put his phone in his pocket, and joked: "If I were a few years younger, I could still have this idea, but now it's not possible. I'd better support myself."
Chi Xia smiled and turned to walk into the car: "Shen Ping has no motive to kill. When he heard about hydrofluoric acid just now, he was obviously confused. Besides, he has a bright future ahead of him. There is no need for him to kill Du Xiaoyu."
Luo Xun followed him and said, "So, our hope now can only be placed on Zhou Wanrou, who is the least suspicious."
“Perhaps the most unlikely is the most likely.”
Chi Xia opened the driver's door: "I'll drive this time, you take a break."
Luo Xun was delighted and got on the car from the other side: "What if we return disappointed from Zhou Wanrou's side? "
Chi Xia fastened his seat belt and looked through the car window.
She thought for a moment and said, "Then we can only try portrait simulation."
"Portrait simulation?" Luo Xun's eyes lit up, and she suddenly remembered that she had restored Chen Li's portrait before: "Why didn't you mention this earlier?"
Chi Xia frowned: "I don't think my painting skills are good enough to restore a skeletonized skull."
She started the car and sighed: "Captain Luo, although I am excellent, I am not omnipotent. You must remember this."
Luo Xun laughed: "So, this is a little bit true."
Chi Xia also smiled: "Yeah, it's really just a little bit."
