Chapter 62: The Son Missing for One Year
Su Xiaoxiao still decided to go see the old man, but she had to wait until noon.
Now her leader is calling her over, not Qi Lei, but the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation.
Because yesterday's incident was on the news, Female Spider-Man has brought the Municipal Bureau into the spotlight again.
The deputy director in charge of criminal investigation is called Li Jingtian, who is in his forties and looks somewhat similar to Li Yan. He has the authority of a superior, which makes Su Xiaoxiao very nervous.
She only found out today that Li Jingtian was Li Yan's father.
This hot search is another positive publicity for the Municipal Bureau. The leaders of the bureau all think that Su Xiaoxiao is a lucky general, and such a comrade should naturally be highly praised.
Of course, in addition to verbal praise, there will also be certain material rewards. When Su Xiaoxiao heard that there might be a small amount of money, she became happy again.
The system is unreliable. It seems that I have to do more good deeds and solve more cases in the future to earn my own bonuses.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the Second People's Hospital during her lunch break.
The old man yesterday was called Jiao Zheng, and Su Xiaoxiao found his ID card in his bag.
Jiao Zheng is 62 years old this year. The address on his ID card is not in Jingzhong City, but in Yangning County, one of the three counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhong City. She contacted his wife Zhou Ju in the morning, and she should have come here by now.
Jiao Zheng had been transferred to the general ward, a three-person room. When Su Xiaoxiao went there, he was awake. A slightly plump woman, who looked to be around 60 years old, was standing next to him, feeding him porridge.
When the old man saw her come in, he struggled to sit up, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him, saying it was best not to move after having just had surgery.
Su Xiaoxiao pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed.
"Old man, what do you want from me?"
"You're a police officer, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Police comrade, I want to report a case." Jiao Zheng said with tears streaming down his face.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard him say that he wanted to report a case, she suddenly became nervous. Another case was coming so soon.
Zhou Ju, who was standing by, was also anxious. She grabbed Jiao Zheng's clothes and said, "Old man, didn't you always say that your son was fine? Why did you suddenly want to report the case? Tell me, what's going on?"
"Don't be impatient, Auntie. Let me talk slowly."
"My son Jiao Fugui is missing. It's all my fault. I should have reported it to the police earlier." Jiao Zheng pounded his chest.
Jiao Zheng's son, Jiao Fugui, started working three years ago. Everything was normal in the first two years. He sent money back home every month and would go home during the holidays.
But since he called home once a year ago, he has never been able to contact them again.
He had been here once and found the construction site where he had worked before, but the people at the construction site said that he had gone to work somewhere else, and they didn't know where he had gone.
Now his wife insists that he ran away with another woman and wants to take the child back to her parents' home and never come back.
When his wife Zhou Ju heard that her daughter-in-law was going to take her grandson away, she became anxious and forced him to come out to find her son.
He was in poor health and had a disabled leg. After running around for two consecutive days, he fell down due to exhaustion, and that's how he met Su Xiaoxiao.
It was only when I heard Su Xiaoxiao say that she was a police officer that I came up with the idea of reporting the case.
"He's been missing for a year, why didn't you report it to the police at that time?" Su Xiaoxiao couldn't understand this.
Why didn't he report it to the police? Because he didn't know his son was missing at the time.
His son called him a year ago and told him that he would soon make a lot of money and would be able to bring them to the city, but he couldn't tell his wife about this for the time being.
He saves money by not showing it off.
Not only did he not tell his daughter-in-law, he didn't even tell his wife. If this nagging woman knew that her son made a lot of money, she would have told the whole world about it.
For a while afterwards, he thought his son had gone out to make money. Although there was no contact, he didn't think too much about it.
It was not until the daughter-in-law couldn't contact her son and wanted to report the case in a hurry, but he refused and ran out to look for him on his own.
This time he failed to find his son, but he received a text message from his son's mobile phone, telling him to wait a little longer and he would be able to get the money back. He was working outside and it was inconvenient to contact them, so they should just wait patiently.
He believed his son, but it was difficult to tell his daughter-in-law, so he tried to fool her.
This time his wife was making a fuss about leaving again, and he couldn't fool her anymore. He had no choice but to go out and look for her. After two days of searching and no news, he realized something was wrong.
A year had passed, and his son had gone to work somewhere and couldn't even contact his family. He thought of the recent movie and wondered if his son had been cheated and joined some fraud gang or pyramid scheme. That's when he thought of calling the police.
He hasn't been able to contact him for a year, and he's only now thinking of calling the police. Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, thinking that this old man might be obsessed with money.
"Uncle Jiao, you are so confused! You should have called the police long ago."
Zhou Ju was so angry that his face turned purple. This damn old man actually dared to hide his son's affairs from him.
"If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive you."
Jiao Zheng held his head in annoyance. It was his fault. He was blinded by money and should have called the police earlier.
It has been a year, and whether Jiao Fugui was defrauded or missing, the situation is not good.
Su Xiaoxiao called Xiao Yu and asked him to come over, bring his things, take a statement from Grandpa Jiao, and formally open a case.
When she came, she didn't know that Uncle Jiao was going to report a case, and she didn't prepare anything.
On the way back to the Criminal Investigation Team, Xiao Yu asked, "Sister, what do you think about this missing case?"
He has now become Su Xiaoxiao's number one fanboy and feels that his senior sister can do anything.
"I don't have any idea yet. I'll go back and report to Captain Qi."
Su Xiaoxiao felt a headache when she met his admiring gaze. She was just a junior police officer who had just been promoted to a regular employee. She was not omnipotent, and she knew nothing yet.
When Qi Lei heard that Su Xiaoxiao was able to solve a case just by helping an old man, he didn't know whether to say she was lucky or unlucky.
"The last call was a year ago, and I received a text message half a year ago. This is quite strange," said Su Xiaoxiao.
"It's really strange. The call was real, but it's hard to say who sent the text message. Let's first check the place where Jiao Fugui last worked a year ago to see if anyone knows his whereabouts. Then we need to check his phone call records to see who he contacted before he disappeared. We also need to check his bank account to see if there are any large sums of money coming in. And..."
Qi Lei spoke one by one. He had a premonition that Jiao Fugui was in great danger. However, if he was alive, we had to see his body; if he was dead, we had to see his body.
If a person dies, he must see the body. Qi Lei suddenly remembered something.
Eleven months ago, they salvaged a bag of body parts from a pond at the foot of Beishan Mountain.
