Qiao Liang rested for a while and continued to stare at the computer screen, paying special attention to Zhang Mei's performance in the surveillance records, especially Zhang Mei's facial expressions.
After watching for nearly an hour, Qiao Liang looked at the sky outside and realized that it had gotten dark outside at some point.
After walking to turn on the lights in the office, Qiao Liang walked back to the chair and sat down, lit a cigarette, pressed pause, and enlarged the screen on the computer.
After staring at Zhang Mei's enlarged eyes on the computer for a long time, Qiao Liang thought for a moment, recalling the specific night that Zhang Mei disappeared and returned home, and then retrieved the surveillance records from the surveillance camera before the day of disappearance.
Qiao Liang specially selected the scene with Zhang Mei to watch. Comparing the surveillance records before and after the day Zhang Mei disappeared, Qiao Liang watched it repeatedly for a long time, and finally showed a playful look on his face.
The eyes, Zhang Mei’s eyes are different!
Although Zhang Mei seems to be trying her best to hide it and pretends to be demented most of the time, the look in her eyes that she inadvertently reveals cannot deceive anyone!
Taking the night when Zhang Mei disappeared as she walked home as the dividing line, before that day, Zhang Mei's eyes were really as demented as a fool's, but on the day of Zhang Mei's disappearance, Qiao Liang discovered that Zhang Mei's
Her eyes were a little more lively. To be precise, a few days before she disappeared, Zhang Mei's eyes occasionally showed a little more different. And that kind of eyes, after the night when Zhang Mei disappeared and walked home, she changed her eyes.
It appears more and more frequently. Especially if you pay attention, you can find that Zhang Mei will deliberately act crazier when she is in front of Sister Li, but when Sister Li walks away, there will always be a trace of clarity in Zhang Mei's eyes.
when.
"Maybe Zhang Mei is really pretending to be stupid!" Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes. He felt that he needed to go to the mental hospital again and talk to Zhang Mei alone.
Looking at the time, Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. Damn, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Before he knew it, he had been looking at the computer for more than three hours without even noticing.
Thinking that he hadn't had dinner yet, Qiao Liang left the office, planning to grab something to eat first and then go to the mental hospital.
As soon as he came out of the city compound, Qiao Liang's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Sun Yong calling again, Qiao Liang picked up the call and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Will something happen to Ruan Mingbo?" Sun Yong asked.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Liang asked confused.
"No one answered my call to Ruan Mingbo in the afternoon. I was also wondering if Ruan Mingbo didn't want to answer the phone when he saw a strange number, so I stopped calling him. In the evening, I found out the address of his home, and I thought about visiting him personally.
, but when I arrived at his house, I found that he was not at home, and even his wife couldn't get through to his phone, so I was wondering if something had happened?" Sun Yong explained.
Qiao Liang frowned when he heard this, "Then where are you now?"
"I'm at Ruan Mingbo's home right now. His wife is still calling him, but no one is answering." Sun Yong replied.
"Send me his home address and I'll go over now." Qiao Liang's eyes narrowed slightly. There was no way Ruan Mingbo wouldn't even answer his wife's call. Could something really have happened?
Qiao Liang hung up the phone and soon received the address from Sun Yong. After taking a taxi to Ruan Mingbo's home, Sun Yong had already gone to the downstairs of the community to wait for Qiao Liang. Seeing Qiao Liang coming, Sun Yong took Qiao Liang upstairs.
.
Inside the house, Ruan Mingbo's daughter-in-law was walking around anxiously in the living room, making a call on her mobile phone in one hand.
"Secretary Qiao, this is Ruan Mingbo's lover Hong Yan. She is also from a government agency and works in the Municipal Forestry Bureau." Sun Yong addressed Qiao Liang's position in front of outsiders. While introducing Qiao Liang, Sun Yong talked to Hong Yan. Yan introduced, "Ms. Hong, this is Secretary Qiao of our committee."
"Hello, Secretary Qiao, I've heard about you." Hong Yan looked at Qiao Liang cautiously, with a worried look on her face.
Qiao Liang ignored the conversation and asked directly, "What time does Ruan Mingbo usually come home?"
"It's not regular. He's very busy at work in the bank. Sometimes he doesn't come back for dinner at night. It's common to work overtime until 9:00 or 10 in the evening. Besides, he also has a lot of social activities, so I didn't notice anything unusual when he didn't come back at night. If it weren't for Director Sun just came over and asked to see him, but no one answered his phone, so I called him, but he didn't answer the phone, so I realized something might have happened." Hong Yan said anxiously. .
"Have you called his colleagues to ask about the situation?" Qiao Liang asked.
"I asked, and his colleagues said that he left the company around two o'clock in the afternoon." Hong Yan replied.
"Did you drive out?" Qiao Liang asked again.
"I really forgot to ask this." Hong Yan was startled for a moment, then immediately added, "Generally speaking, he can drive. We only have one car in our house, and he drives it."
After hearing this, Qiao Liang immediately said, "Call his colleagues and see if he drove out."
"Okay, I'll ask now." Hong Yan said quickly.
Hong Yan made two calls in succession, finally asking about the situation and confirming that her husband Ruan Mingbo drove out.
After hearing the reply, Qiao Liang asked for Ruan Mingbo's license plate and immediately said to Sun Yong, "You should contact the police immediately and ask them to help locate Ruan Mingbo's car and see where it is now."
Sun Yong nodded and walked aside to contact the people at the police station.
After a while, Sun Yong came back and said, "Secretary Qiao, please clarify. Ruan Mingbo's car is in the parking lot of Tonghui Building."
"Tonghui Building?" Qiao Liang looked at Sun Yong, "What is that place?"
"That seems to be an office building."
As soon as Sun Yong finished speaking, Hong Yan on the side suddenly shouted, "I know, he must have gone to Chen Dingzhong. Chen Dingzhong's company rented an office building in Tonghui Building."
"Chen Dingzhong?" Qiao Liang and Sun Yong looked at each other. The two of them were naturally familiar with the name Chen Dingzhong. Chen Dingzhong was mentioned many times in Ruan Mingbo's prosecution materials. In the morning, they went to visit the unfinished real estate. Ruan Mingbo had just learned from Chen Dingzhong. When he came out to join them, they were also attacked by a group of unknown people. According to Ruan Mingbo, those people must have been sent by Chen Dingzhong.
Could it be that Ruan Mingbo’s disappearance is related to Chen Dingzhong?
After a brief daze, Qiao Liang quickly said, "Go to Tonghui Building immediately."
The three of them arrived at the parking lot of Tonghui Building and soon found Ruan Mingbo's car in the parking lot.
Hong Yan brought the spare key of the car from home. After opening the car, Hong Yan got in the car and searched. After not seeing anything useful, she said to Qiao Liang and Sun Yong, "Secretary Qiao, Director Sun, let's go upstairs. Go and have a look, my Mingbo must be here to see Chen Dingzhong."
"Well, go up and have a look." Qiao Liang nodded.
It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and there were not many people in the office building. The three of them took the elevator to the floor where Chen Dingzhong's company was located. When they came out of the elevator, a very eye-catching sign with the words "Dongjiang Company" was hung beside the glass door at the entrance. , Hong Yan said, "This is Chen Dingzhong's company, and he rented the entire floor."
Hong Yan walked forward as she spoke. At this moment, there was an office with lights on. As soon as Hong Yan walked in, a staff member who seemed to be working overtime stood up and said, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is your Chairman Chen here?" Hong Yan asked directly.
"Director Chen has gone home a long time ago. What do you want to do with him?" The other party looked at Hong Yan and Qiao Liang.
When she heard that Chen Dingzhong was not there, Hong Yan took out her mobile phone and pulled out her husband's photo without thinking, and asked, "Has this person been to your company this afternoon?"
The staff member took a look at Ruan Mingbo's photo, shook his head and said, "No."
"Really?" Hong Yan obviously didn't believe it.
"No, I didn't see it anyway." The staff member shook his head.
Hong Yan was still waiting to ask anything, but Qiao Liang, who had been looking around, suddenly said, "Ms. Hong, let's go first."
When Hong Yan heard what Qiao Liang said, she glanced at Qiao Liang doubtfully, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and followed Qiao Liang to leave first.
After entering the elevator, Hong Yan asked eagerly, "Secretary Qiao, why didn't you let me ask you clearly just now?"
"It's useless if you ask too many questions. If your husband Ruan Mingbo is really missing in Dongjiang Company, do you think the other party will tell the truth?" Qiao Liang looked at Hong Yan, "We might as well ask the police to investigate directly. ."
While Qiao Liang was talking, he had already taken out his cell phone to call Lu Qian.
When the call was connected, Qiao Liang said, "Director Lu, please do me a favor. A man named Ruan Mingbo may have disappeared in Tonghui Building. Please help me find out what happened."
When Lu Qian heard Qiao Liang address her position, she guessed that there was someone around Qiao Liang, so she didn't say much at the moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to check."
After making the call, Qiao Liang said to Hong Yan, "Let's wait for news from the police station. If Ruan Mingbo disappeared here, there will definitely be clues left."
While Qiao Liang was talking to Hong Yan, upstairs, the staff member who just talked to Hong Yan also called Chen Dingzhong immediately.
"Director Chen, someone just came to our place to find President Ruan of the bank." The staff member said after answering the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Dingzhong asked, "Do you know who it is?"
The staff member shook his head and said, "I don't know. They came with a total of three people, two men and one woman, and they just left."
"Okay, I understand." After Chen Dingzhong said that, he hung up the phone.
At this moment, Chen Dingzhong was in a warehouse on the outskirts of the city, which was where Chen Dingzhong's company stored construction materials. At this moment, he saw the missing Ruan Mingbo tied to a chair and glaring at Chen Dingzhong.
Chen Dingzhong glanced at Ruan Mingbo and walked aside to make a phone call.
The person Chen Dingzhong was calling was the property manager of the office building. He was familiar with the property manager. Chen Dingzhong asked the other party to send him the surveillance video of the building during that period.
After waiting for a few minutes, Chen Dingzhong received the surveillance video from the other party. After seeing the woman in it, Chen Dingzhong immediately recognized that it was Ruan Mingbo's wife Hong Yan. He had an impression of it because they had dinner together before.
