NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1211
Director Niu didn't dare to neglect, and immediately explained the situation.
It turned out that Zhao Yan went missing last night.
The City Public Security Bureau immediately launched an investigation, spreading out the work comprehensively.
They didn't inform Liu Zhizhong at first because they were afraid he'd be angry and worried, thinking that by mobilizing the city's resources, they could find Zhao Yan.
In the end, they still couldn't find her, so Director Niu had to let the hospital inform Liu Zhizhong. Having the hospital director deliver the news was somewhat better than if Director Niu did it himself.
Unable to find her, Liu Zhizhong had to be informed. Ah... a deputy director-level Director Niu still needed to save face, yet inwardly he felt inferior to Liu Zhizhong! A rising star in provincial politics, not someone ordinary people could afford to offend.
Fortunately, when Liu Zhizhong returned, apart from some anxiety, his emotions were relatively stable, which relaxed Director Niu as well.
The whole situation was that last night, the entire hospital's surveillance system malfunctioned, and maintenance was still ongoing.
When the bureau wanted to retrieve some footage, they found that none was stored.
The task force did a large-scale investigation, using an extensive net-like method, setting up checkpoints at all city traffic entrances, but found nothing.
After much analysis, the bureau decided to have Liu Zhizhong return because they needed to find some clues from her husband, to see if he could provide valuable information.
After hearing the situation, Liu Zhizhong was a bit confused but quickly realized it.
"Director Niu, my wife's disappearance is clearly a premeditated and planned action. The other party is very capable, to an unimaginable extent for us!"
Director Niu also had a headache, nodding, "Yes, that's what we are speculating. Faced with the other party, we seem very powerless. Secretary Liu, have you offended anyone?"
Liu Zhizhong said, "Apart from offending Zhang Hongyang and the Zhang Family, who else could there be? Besides, I've reconciled with the Zhang Family, and now I get along well with Zhang Hongyang while working together in Shanan County."
"Hmm…" Director Niu nodded, but with a worried expression, "Then this is strange. For your wife to disappear like this, someone would usually make a demand or communicate some message to you, right?"
"Yes, we can only wait then."
"On my end, all the related police forces in the city are still active, hoping to find some clues. I believe that after Zhao Yan's disappearance, even if she's within the city's limits, we will turn everything upside down to find her; if she's left the city, there are vehicle records that can be checked but this requires time…"
While speaking, Director Niu felt a bit troubled, helplessly shaking his head, "Only suspicious vehicles will lead to clues. On my end, I'm not only monitoring highway and national/provincial road entrances but also some small roads. The recent traffic around the hospital also needs identifying, which takes time, Secretary Liu, can you understand?"
"Director Niu, I understand, I appreciate the hard work of you and everyone."
"It's only right! I'd love to crack this by tonight! By the way, Secretary Liu, have you had dinner yet? Do you want to go out to eat and drink a little?"
"Haha, no need, Director Niu. Just grab something casually at the Public Security Bureau, can't go out, I can't handle your level of hospitality."
Director Niu smiled and nodded, "Truly a rising political star, such a particular person. Alright, I'll ask Master to prepare something from the cafeteria to be sent over. Anyway, there are many people doing night shifts, the cafeteria is open all night tonight."
