Fang Zhizheng listened, dumbfounded, not because he found the situation particularly bizarre, but rather due to the surprising methods employed by Ye He Shun and his team.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "So you just did all this work and concluded that the person is hiding in a vase? Didn't you investigate anything else? Didn't you just graduate from the police academy?"
"Let me finish," Ye He Shun hurriedly explained. "Of course, we checked the surveillance footage at all major train stations and airports, and we used facial recognition technology, but we found no trace of Lu Ming."
"What good does that do? It's a complete waste of technological resources. What have Lu Ming's parents said?" Fang Zhizheng asked, frowning.
The mention of this topic caused three deep lines to form on Ye He Shun's forehead. With their son missing, Lu Ming's parents were likely the most heartbroken people in the city.
Ye He Shun had met them at Lu Ming's home.
They were both taciturn. Lu Ming's mother, Chen Yingqiong, wore a blank expression, unresponsive to any questions. Her hair had turned almost entirely white, with only a few strands of black remaining. She looked to be at least sixty years old, but in reality, she was not yet forty; it was said that her hair had turned white just in the past few days.
Lu Ming's father, Lu Kao, stayed by her side, occasionally offering weak reassurances like "Our little Ming will come back," but his words lacked conviction; even he didn't believe them.
Losing a child is a devastating blow for any family.
Lu Kao mentioned that he would offer their last remaining assets as a reward for information about Lu Ming's whereabouts.
At that moment, Chen Yingqiong seemed to snap back to reality: "No need for that. He's already dead; what good would it do to search?"
Ye He Shun quickly tried to comfort her. "You don't have to be so pessimistic. We can't definitively say whether Lu Ming is alive or dead yet. The police will do everything they can to help you find him."
Chen Yingqiong remained unresponsive, enveloped in a heavy silence. Lu Kao suddenly glanced at Ye He Shun.
Ye He Shun understood and led him out of the room.
In a low voice, Lu Kao said, “Officer, do you think my son’s disappearance is related to the Gao Family? They would go to any lengths to break apart Xiao Ming and Gao Huan. My son is stubborn; he definitely wouldn’t be swayed by the Gao Family’s money. I noticed he was acting mysteriously at home recently, guarding his drawer. When he wasn’t around, I opened it and found several thousand dollars inside, along with a train schedule. It seems he was preparing to elope with Gao Huan.”
“What do you think happened regarding your son’s disappearance?” Ye He Shun pressed.
“The Gao Family treats their daughter like a precious jewel and has long disapproved of her relationship with my son. If news of their elopement got out, I fear Gao Yuanqian might resort to something drastic. I’ve heard of him before; he’s ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals,” Lu Kao said anxiously.
“Do you have any evidence?” Ye He Shun asked cautiously.
Lu Kao shook his head helplessly. “Xiao Ming’s classmates said he went to the Gao Family to find Gao Huan, and after that, there was no word from him. Gao Yuanqian has a bodyguard who is rumored to be an ex-convict with a criminal record.
Isn’t Gao Huan insane? If he’s hiding in the Gao Family and Xiao Ming shows up, it’s possible that something could happen right in front of Gao Huan, triggering his breakdown.”
Fang Zhizheng listened thoughtfully to Ye He Shun's words and nodded, acknowledging that this possibility couldn’t be dismissed. “However, if someone were killed in the Gao Family and then moved, there might be some evidence left at the scene.”
Yet Ye He Shun shook his head again. “We checked the Gao Family afterward; although it wasn’t explicitly stated, Gao Yuanqian seemed quite cooperative—perhaps he wanted to prove his innocence. We didn’t find any unusual traces at the Gao Family. However, we did find Lu Ming’s fingerprints on items like the front door and a cup in Gao Huan’s bedroom.
It’s said that Gao Huan is very clean; she washes her bedroom cup daily, but since she went mad, it hasn’t been washed since the 21st. This confirms that Lu Ming was indeed at the Gao Family on that date. As for the fingerprints on the front door, we can’t determine when they were left.
According to people from the Gao Family, Lu Ming hadn’t visited for some time before that; those fingerprints likely belong to the 21st. This makes things even stranger—it seems Lu Ming truly disappeared from the Gao Family. But even though their house is a three-story villa, it shouldn’t be able to hide a living person.”
"Where's the bodyguard?" Fang Zhizheng continued to press for answers.
