"Could it be that your brother-in-law is also missing?"
"No way, when I went to the police station, she said she was going to find my sister." He Ru frowned slightly.
"What's his phone number?"
"138xxxxxxxxx."
Han Bin took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.
After a while, a notification tone sounded on the phone: "Sorry, the user you dialed has shut down."
Li Hui shook his head: "Your brother-in-law is big enough to turn off the phone at this moment."
"Yes, it should not be."
"Your sister ran away from home for a day, and your brother-in-law can't be contacted again. What do you think should be done now?" Li Hui spread his hands.
"Officer Han, Officer Li, I don't have an idea now, why don't you think of a way."
Han Bin hesitated for a moment; "Yuanyuan, have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten it, and I ate it with grandma."
"Then, you go home and play with grandma first, otherwise grandma will be alone, okay?"
"Okay." Yuanyuan replied, said a few more words to He Ru, and went home.
After watching them leave, Han Bin asked, "How is your sister's relationship with the child?"
"Not bad."
"Do you think she can give up the child?"
"My sister is very concerned about Yuanyuan, and she has never left her alone, let alone staying away from home all day and night." He Ru sighed and asked:
"Officer Han, where can we find him now?"
"Eat first, and then go to the place where your brother-in-law works." Han Bin was also a little helpless.
He Yan hasn't found it yet, and her husband can't be contacted again.
Unable to figure out the nature of the case, there is no way to take further action.
It really took a long time to mobilize a large number of people to investigate. In the end, the couple broke up and ran away from home. They could only waste police force and taxpayers' money in vain.
The three went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Han Bin ordered a pork ribs and rice set, and Li Hui ordered a seafood stewed noodles. The two of them couldn't eat enough, and they ordered a potsticker and a cold dish. A serving of wontons.
After the meal, He Ru wanted to pay the bill, but Han Bin refused.
Han Bin is not short of the money, so there is no need for the reporter to treat him.
After the meal, He Ru took Han Bin and the two to the place where his brother-in-law worked.
He Yan's husband is named Chen Zili, who works in Huafei Express Company.
The person in charge of the company, surnamed Li, is not tall and has a small crew cut.
"Comrade police, what's the matter?" Manager Li asked.
"Does Chen Zili work here?" Li Hui asked.
"I used to work as a sorter here, but I don't do it now."
"When did you quit?" Han Bin was a little surprised.
"Not long ago, just a few days ago."
"Why didn't you do it?"
"This kid doesn't do a good job. He disappears after a while, and his work was delayed. I fired him." Manager Li snorted.
"My brother-in-law is not a sneaky person, is there some misunderstanding?" He Ru interrupted.
"When he first came here, this kid was also very diligent, he could do whatever he had to do, and he could keep an eye on him." Manager Li smiled: "It didn't work after that."
"Don't be foolish, finish it in one breath, what happened afterwards?" Li Hui asked.
"Hey, look over there." Manager Li pointed to the opposite side of the road: "Walk more than a hundred meters over there, there is a lottery betting shop, and this kid is probably inside."
"You mean, he was so addicted to buying lottery tickets that he missed work."
"Summary is in place." Manager Li gave a thumbs up: "This person, it's good to have some hobbies. You have to have some momentum in life, but once you get lost, you will be useless."
"Okay, thank you, you are busy, let's go over there and have a look." Han Bin said.
"Go slowly." Manager Li beckoned and went back to the store humming a little tune.
"Your brother-in-law bought a lottery ticket, do you know?" Han Bin turned his head and looked at He Ru beside him.
"I've heard my sister say it a few times, but I don't take it seriously how much the lottery ticket is worth. Let's buy it for ten or eight yuan." He Ru said.
"Listen to Manager Li, your brother-in-law is not as simple as playing." Li Hui shook his head. Once something is fascinated, it changes from playing to being played.
A group of people went to a lottery station not far away. There were seven or eight men in the lottery, and a woman in her thirties was sitting by the computer and helping people choose numbers.
"Are you the proprietress?" Han Bin asked.
The proprietress glanced at it: "Wait a minute, you will be next."
Li Hui took out his police officer ID: "Police."
The person who bought the lottery ticket next to him leaned to the side, glanced at Han Bin, and then at the proprietress.
The proprietress stopped what she was doing and stood up: "Comrade, what do you want?"
"Let's finish beating him first." Han Bin waved his hand.
"Thank you," said the man who bought the lottery ticket next to him.
The proprietress quickly typed up the lottery numbers and handed them to the man next to her; "Comrade, what do you want to come to the store?"
"Does Chen Zili know him?"
"Hey, although my shop is small, there are dozens of people a day, and there are only a few regular customers who can remember their names, and I haven't asked the names of others." The proprietress said.
He Ru took out her mobile phone and pointed to the screen: "This is Chen Zili's photo."
"He, I know, comes often."
"Have you come today?"
"I didn't come today, but..." the proprietress hesitated to speak.
"But what?"
The proprietress looked around and whispered, "Several people came to look for him today."
"who?"
"I don't know."
"When did you come?"
"It's about twelve o'clock. I'm having dinner."
Han Bin raised his head, glanced around, and pointed to the monitor next to the cashier: "Give me a copy of the video."
"Uh...comrade, I'm just a businessman, and I don't want to cause trouble." The proprietress was a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, the content of the video will be kept secret, and no one will trouble you." Han Bin persuaded.
The proprietress hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed and made a copy of the video.
After leaving the lottery station, Li Hui spat: "Sister, how could there be so many things involved in a disappearance case?"
"Officer Han, do you think my sister's disappearance is related to my brother-in-law?" He Ru frowned.
"You know them better, what do you think?" Han Bin asked back.
"Probably not, probably not." He Ru muttered a few words, more like comforting himself.
"Om..." There was a burst of text messages.
He Ru hurriedly took out her mobile phone and looked at it: "My sister sent a text message again."
"say what?"
He Ru clicked on the message, and read: "Sister, I'm going to work in other places, you can send me 6,000 yuan, and I will borrow it from you."
"Call over."
He Ru called back the phone number, but the other party hung up the phone.
Han Bin glanced at the message: "Do you think it was sent by your sister?"
He Ru thought about it for a while, and said a little puzzled: "My family's financial situation is not very good. My sister knows it. It is impossible to borrow money from me."
"So, it is very likely that someone else sent a text message from your sister's mobile phone?" Han Bin guessed.
"I remembered, and I said why I feel so awkward. My sister never calls me sister, but always calls me Xiaoru."
