159 Number
After Zhang Wei left, Yin Tao went to the communications department to look for Feng Jing.
“Captain Feng, did you find anything?”
Feng Jing pointed at the computer screen and said to Yin Tao, “We found that there are a total of three numbers—Zhen Yan Beauty Salon’s landline, your brother Yin Hao, and a woman named Zhou Ping. She should be Zhang Wei and Zhang Rui’s friend. She used two numbers.”
Yin Tao wasn’t surprised to hear her brother’s name. In fact, she had already discovered it when she looked at the call log. After all, she was the one who gave Yin Hao’s number to Zhang Rui .
However, Yin Tao was a little surprised that Zhou Ping had used two numbers. Zhou Ping was Ella, whom she had just spoken to on the phone. She had clearly said that she had only spoken to Zhang Rui twice. If these two numbers were hers, then there were a total of three calls.
“Captain Feng, if Zhou Ping wasn’t lying, we can determine the purpose of these calls through our conversation just now.” Yin Tao took a pen and paper, sat in front of the computer, and began to analyze.
“The first call was from Zhang Rui to Zhen Yan Beauty Salon. The second call was from her to Zhou Ping. She made an appointment with her to go to the beauty salon.”
Yin Tao circled Zhou Ping’s name, she might not have told the truth.
“The third call was received by Zhang Rui. Zhou Ping got to the beauty salon first and called Zhang Rui.” Yin Tao glanced at the time of the call and continued, “Looking at the timeline, Zhang Rui took the initiative to call my brother after leaving the beauty salon.”
“Does your brother know Zhang Rui?” Feng Jing wasn’t suspicious of Yin Hao, but as far as he remembered, Yin Hao didn’t seem to know Zhang Rui at all.
“Sigh, it’s my fault.” Yin Tao sighed and couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. If she hadn’t given Zhang Rui his number, she wouldn’t have implicated Yin Hao. If Zhang Rui still doesn’t appear the next day, Yin Hao would be summoned for questioning as well.
“I gave my brother’s number to Zhang Rui. If it was really necessary, I would have to ask my brother tomorrow what Zhang Rui said to him on the phone.”
Yin Tao paused for a moment before looking at Zhang Rui’s last call. “The last number is also Zhou Ping’s, but it’s her other number. However, she didn’t mention it during the call with me earlier.”
Yin Tao pondered for a moment before asking, “Captain Feng, do you think Zhou Ping is suspicious?”
“It’s unlikely. Zhou Ping and Zhang Rui met in the morning. If Zhang Rui went missing, she would be the first person the police would look for.” Feng Jing felt that if the murderer could do such a stupid thing, he wouldn’t have been able to make Zhang Rui disappear without a trace.
“Then what else can we do now? The surveillance cameras at the beauty salon can only be checked tomorrow morning, the same goes for questioning of Zhou Ping.” Yin Tao felt that if Zhang Rui didn’t go home tonight, she might really be under someone’s control.
Through her previous interactions with Zhang Rui, Yin Tao felt that although Zhang Rui looked very carefree, she actually cared a lot about her father. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have listened to her father and attended events and blind dates.
“Try to locate Zhang Rui’s phone through her phone number first and see if you can find any clues.” Feng Jing looked at the time and saw that it was already past midnight. He said to Yin Tao, “You should go back and rest first. If you’re worried, come to the police station tomorrow morning for updates.”
“I’d better stay and see if I can help. Bai Luo should be resting by now. I might wake her up when I go back. The other police officers in the police station either already have assignments like Xiao Xia, or are just finally taking a rest like Bai Luo. It’s better not to trouble them.”
Yin Tao felt she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well even if she returned to the dormitory. She might as well be on standby at the police station.
“Alright then, come with me. I have something to ask you.” Feng Jing put on his coat and took his car keys before walking out of the police station with Yin Tao.
After getting into the car, Yin Tao felt a little puzzled. She had planned to hand Zhang Rui’s phone location to the technical department, but Feng Jing was driving further and further away from the police station.
“Brother Feng, are we not going to check on Zhang Rui’s phone location? Where are we going now?”
Feng Jing started the car and said to Yin Tao, “If you want to check the location of the victim or suspect’s phone, you have to apply to the higher-ups. We can only investigate in private now, so we can’t use police resources.”
