Chapter 570 (2/2)
”Of course he's not stupid. He's been quite low-key these years, but in case this case is related to him, we'll have a chance to investigate him.”
”That's true. Okay, let me communicate with the sub-bureau!”
Chen s.h.i.+ and the others went directly to the dean for the grade that the missing person taught. The people from the sub-bureau and the local police officers were also in the office. When they saw the people from the head bureau arrive, a police team leader said, ”I really wouldn't have thought that Captain Lin would be so eager about this case. He actually transferred it over directly. We actually saved a lot of energy. Please thank Captain Lin and the chief for me.”
”What's the current situation?” Chen s.h.i.+ asked.
”Teacher Lin...”, ”The situation is...”
The police officer spoke at the same time as the dean and then realized his disrespect. The dean said obsequiously, ”You talk. You talk... Would you police officers like to drink some tea?”
”No need!”
”The missing teacher is called Lin Xiaoxiao. She's the only daughter of Deputy Director Lin of the Education Bureau. She teaches music and is also in charge of a cla.s.s. She went missing on October 1st. She had come to school to pick up some things that day. The security guard saw her at 9:00 AM. Teacher Liu of the same grade also saw her. The two exchanged a few words. She left her mobile phone in the office with an unsent message saying that she was troubled recently, wanted to go out for a walk and asked everyone not to look for her, for she'll be back soon. It's been four days since then, and her family couldn't get in touch with her, so they reported the case.
Xu Xiaodong whispered, ”It doesn't sound like a big case.”
Lin Dongxue replied in a low voice, ”Do you believe in words like 'I'm going out, don't look for me'?”
”Have you watched the surveillance footage?” Chen s.h.i.+ asked.
”During the holidays, the school wasn't monitored.”
”So, there are only witness statements? Which one is the witness?”
A fat male teacher with a balding head said, ”That's me. That's me.”
”Why were you at school on the holiday?”
”I divorced my spouse last year and the house was given to her. I've been living in a rental house near the school. The monthly exam is around the corner and I couldn't stay idle. I was coming up with exam questions in the office on October 1st.”
”What did you talk to Teacher Lin about the last time you saw her?”
”It was just an ordinary conversation.”
”Be more specific.”
Teacher Liu repeated their conversation. It really was just exchanging casual greetings with each other. Chen s.h.i.+ said, ”She left her mobile phone on her office table?”
”Yes, when I left, I was wondering why she had left her phone behind and helped her by putting it into her drawer.”
”Did she seem abnormal that day?”
Teacher Liu thought for a long time, ”She seemed very normal!”
