A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character - Chapter 158

158 Friend

Yin Tao told Feng Jing about her findings and asked for his opinion, “Do you want to investigate the person who used these numbers?”

Feng Jing thought for a while and asked Zhang Wei, who was still checking the numbers, “Could Zhang Rui have gone home but she hasn’t contacted you?”

“No, I’ve already asked the nanny to wait at home. If Ruirui comes back, she’ll definitely contact me immediately.”

Seeing that Zhang Wei was so certain, Feng Jing decided to make an exception and investigate Zhang Rui’s whereabouts. Zhang Rui’s situation was similar to Li Ting, Song Yi, and Yang Ying. She seemed to have disappeared without a trace. If Zhang Wei hadn’t been so careful about Zhang Rui, and if he hadn’t been so vigilant due to the traffic incident a few days ago, he wouldn’t have reported the case so quickly.

“I’ll go investigate. Stay here and wait with Zhang Rui’s father for a while.”

Feng Jing saw that Yin Tao had just run in and wanted her to rest for a while. He took a copy of the phone log and was about to leave the interview room when Zhang Wei suddenly said, “This number that Ruirui spoke to on the phone seems to belong to this girl.”

Zhang Wei handed the contact on his phone to Yin Tao.

“Ella, is this girl Zhang Rui’s friend?” Yin Tao checked the two numbers. They were indeed the same.

“I think Ruirui has a friend called Ella. I think they met when they were studying abroad, but I’ve never seen her before.” Zhang Wei seemed to have some impression of this English name, but Zhang Rui had never brought her friend home.

“Then, Captain Feng, go and check the owners of the other numbers. I’ll try to contact Ella.”

After Feng Jing walked out of the interview room, Yin Tao also used her phone to call Ella.

The call was quickly answered by a lazy female voice once it got through.

“Hello, who are you looking for?”

From her voice, Yin Tao could tell that the other party was around thirty years old and should be around the same age as Zhang Rui.

“Hello, is this Miss Ella?” Yin Tao’s tone was very calm, but Zhang Wei pricked up his ears anxiously.

“Yes. Can I help you?”

“Do you know a lady named Zhang Rui?” Yin Tao asked.

Ella on the other end of the line, didn’t have much of a reaction. Instead, she replied calmly, “I do. In fact we just met up today. Are you looking for her?”

After hearing that Ella knew about Zhang Rui, Zhang Wei couldn’t wait to ask her where Zhang Rui was, but he was stopped by Yin Tao.

“I have something very important to discuss with her. Could you help me contact her?” Yin Tao asked.

“If you need anything from her, just call her directly. Why do you have my number?” Yin Tao gradually let down her guard when she heard Ella’s response.

“Miss Ella, I’m also Zhang Rui’s friend. Her father hasn’t been unable to contact her, so we want to ask you about Zhang Rui.”

Hearing Yin Tao’s words, Ella’s tone gradually became serious. “You mean that we’ve lost contact with Zhang Rui?”

“That’s about right, so can you think about what Zhang Rui did this morning?” asked Yin Tao.

“Nothing much, we just went to the beauty salon for some skin care routine. We parted ways after lunch. I thought she went straight home.”

Yin Tao felt that Ella wasn’t lying, so she continued, “Send me the location of the beauty salon you went to. Also, please think about it carefully. How many times did you call Zhang Rui today?”

“In the morning, once when Zhang Rui asked me to go to the beauty salon. Then, when I got to the beauty salon before her, I called her again. That’s all.” Yin Tao glanced at the call log and confirmed that Ella wasn’t lying.

“I’ll send you the location later. If you still can’t find her, call the police immediately. Zhang Rui is a straightforward person. It’ll be terrible if she offends someone.”

Yin Tao didn’t tell Ella that they were already at the police station. Even if they wanted to call witnesses, they couldn’t do so until the following morning.

Looking at the anxious Zhang Wei standing at the side, Yin Tao comforted him, “Uncle, you should go home first. There’s no point in staying here. Some investigation work can only be done tomorrow morning. If the police find anything new, I’ll contact you immediately.”

Zhang Wei helplessly sighed. It was already very late, and Zhang Rui hadn’t disappeared for too long. He was already very grateful that Yin Tao could help him.

“Alright, my bodyguards are also looking for Ruirui. If there’s any news, I’ll let you know.”

Yin Tao felt a little sad as she watched Zhang Wei leave. He may be a wealthy property magnate, but his daughter’s disappearance had dealt a huge blow to him.
