The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

Chapter 179: Chapter 143: One Dead, One Missing

”Let’s go back and rest first, and arrange for someone to look for surveillance cameras along the route tomorrow.”

The next day, inside the criminal investigation team office.

Li Jian said, ”For the current case, let’s divide into the following three tasks.”

”Mr. Chen, please lead a team to focus on reviewing the surveillance around the village.”

”Mr. Jiang, please work with Zhang Yean to deepen the study of the body and the scene to uncover more clues.”

”Wan and I will go to look for the Shulan Clothing factory.”

”Yes!”

After a brief meeting, everyone sprang into action.

One hour later.

Li Jian and Wan arrived at Shulan Clothing Co., Ltd.

Inside the chairman’s office, Li Jian revealed his identity and took out that brooch.

He got straight to the point, ”May I ask, was this brooch issued by your company?”

The chairman glanced at it, nodded, and said, ”Yes, it’s a commemorative badge made by our company.”

”When was it issued?”

”Who is eligible to receive it?”

”Four days ago, we held our company’s 5th-anniversary celebration at the Vienna International Hotel. We specially invited all Shulan franchise store managers to attend, and everyone who attended the meeting was given this brooch.”

Hearing this, Li Jian suddenly had a gleam in his eyes.

”Do you have the franchise store’s archives here?”

”Yes, we do!”

”Our company is just starting out and aims to grow strong, so we have detailed records and archives of all franchise stores.”

Then Li Jian asked, ”We would like to check the archive of the franchise stores.”

”No problem!”

”However, Shulan Clothing has more than 2000 franchise stores nationwide, so there’s a lot of archival material.”

Li Jian thought for a moment and said, ”That’s fine! I’ll start by checking the local franchise store information.”

Immediately, the chairman picked up the landline and dialed the secretary’s number.

”Xiaolan, bring the archive data of the Jiangcheng franchise stores to my office.”

Five minutes later.

A woman wearing glasses came in holding a stack of archive boxes.

”Chairman, Jiangcheng has 20 franchise stores, and all the data is here.”

The chairman nodded, ”Officers, please go through them.”

Then Li Jian opened the archive boxes one by one from top to bottom, each containing address information, decoration pictures, and the manager’s personal information of the franchise store.

Suddenly, when he opened the twelfth archive box, Li Jian stopped.

His eyes were fixed on the personal photo of the manager’s information card.

The appearance of the woman in the photo was exactly the same as the deceased woman found in the river.

Noticing the two officers’ reactions, secretary Xiaolan was a bit surprised.

”Is there a problem with Wu Yan’s store’s archive?”

After a long pause, Li Jian turned and said, ”There’s no problem with the archive!”

”Do you know her?”

Xiaolan nodded, ”I had contact with her several times when she opened the store.”

”Do you know where she lives?”

Xiaolan shook her head.

”I’m not sure about that!”

After a brief pause, Xiaolan said, ”But you might want to contact her fitness coach!”

”Fitness coach?”

Xiaolan said, ”Our anniversary event ended late, and it was her coach who drove her back.”

As she spoke, she took out her phone and said, ”Wu Yan specifically gave me her coach’s number last time.”

”She said if I wanted to get a membership, there would be significant discounts through the coach.”

Wan immediately stepped forward and dialed the number...

”Sorry, the number you’ve dialed cannot be connected!”

Then, Wan checked the number and dialed again.

”Sorry, the number you’ve dialed cannot be connected!”

Instantly, a sense of foreboding took over Li Jian and Wan’s hearts!

Li Jian quickly asked, ”What’s the name of the gym?”

”Bense Fitness!”

Immediately, Li Jian and Wan hurried out.

Twenty minutes later, at the front desk of Bense Fitness Center.

Li Jian showed his badge, ”Police, is fitness coach Huang Bing here?”

The female receptionist shook her head, ”He hasn’t been here for the past two days. We can’t reach him by phone or WeChat; he vanished into thin air.”

In an instant, Li Jian and Wan were stunned on the spot.

These two people!

One dead, one missing?
