285: Tian Yuwei is missing
Because Liang Yuzhu had to discuss tomorrow's operation with her subordinates, her original plan to stay by Su Yue's side and keep an eye on him changed to her returning to Police Station first and coming back after Su Yue got off work.
Su Yue had no objection to this; anyway, he wouldn't easily leave the company during work hours, so Liang Yuzhu's location didn't significantly affect him.
After discussing it with Liang Yuzhu, Su Yue returned to his post and continued working.
As closing time approached, he suddenly received a call from Tian Yuwei's agent.
The other party was very anxious, and as soon as the call connected, she asked somewhat impatiently, "Su Yue, have you seen Tian Yuwei today?"
Hearing the question, Su Yue felt a strange panic in his heart, but he didn't show it and calmly reassured the agent first.
"I haven't contacted Tian Yuwei today. Did something happen to her? Tell me exactly what's going on first."
While saying this, Su Yue quickly opened Liang Yuzhu's chat box and gave her a heads-up beforehand.
"Liang Yuzhu, it seems something has happened with Tian Yuwei. I might go look for her later."
After sending it, Liang Yuzhu didn't reply to him immediately, but Su Yue could understand; after all, Liang Yuzhu was probably still busy preparing for tomorrow night's arrest operation at this time.
The agent didn't calm down because of Su Yue's reassurance; instead, she completely panicked after he said he hadn't seen Tian Yuwei either.
"She's not with you either? Then where did Weiwei go? She told me yesterday that she would definitely work hard from now on, but who knew she would disappear today? She's usually not like this."
Su Yue immediately grasped the key point, and his expression turned serious.
"What did you say? Tian Yuwei is missing? What happened to her?"
The agent was so anxious she was almost in tears, but she also knew this wasn't the time to panic. Hearing Su Yue's question, she forced herself to suppress her panic and explained to Su Yue.
"Last night, after I took Weiwei back to her new house, I left. But when I went to find her at ten o'clock, ready to pick her up for the filming location, I found that she never opened the door for me."
"I called her, but she didn't answer. Usually, when she has work, Weiwei never sleeps in late; she wakes up early and prepares for work in her best state."
"This is the first time I haven't been able to reach her no matter what. I thought she might have gone to the filming location alone, but when I asked the staff, she wasn't there either."
"I thought she went to look for you, but you said you haven't seen her."
Hearing the agent say this, Su Yue instantly became serious. He asked, "Have you gone into her house to look? Are you sure she's not home?"
Although he asked this, Su Yue had already made the worst-case assumption in his heart. He even had a suspect in mind, and if things were really as he thought, Tian Yuwei was probably in great danger right now.
"I've already had the property management unlock the door. Weiwei is indeed not home."
As she spoke, the agent's voice clearly trembled, obviously quite frightened.
"Su Yue, where else could Weiwei go? Nothing bad has happened to her, has it? Could it be that scumbag Zhou Nan came looking for Weiwei again?"
"But this house is Weiwei's new purchase. Only Weiwei and I know this place, so how would he know about it?"
Su Yue could also understand the agent's worry. Now that Tian Yuwei had disappeared, it was normal for her to be concerned. In fact, if the agent hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about Zhou Nan.
However, thanks to the agent's reminder, Su Yue didn't overlook this potential hidden threat.
He said seriously, "You must not panic now. If you panic, who knows what those paparazzi will write about Tian Yuwei. Calm down first."
"You can also ask someone to inquire about Zhou Nan's recent activities and see if he has any malicious intentions again."
"I will also set off to find Tian Yuwei now. I promise I will bring Tian Yuwei back safely."
While comforting the agent, Su Yue was also comforting himself. He believed Tian Yuwei would be fine.
Su Yue's words were very reassuring, and the originally panicked agent was indeed calmed down quite a bit by Su Yue's words.
Su Yue was right. As Tian Yuwei's agent, the more she needed to stay calm at times like this, otherwise Tian Yuwei's image would be ruined by her.
The agent tried hard to compose herself and finally said firmly to Su Yue, "Okay, Su Yue, I know what to do. Don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back."
Seeing the agent react so quickly, Su Yue felt much more relieved.
He didn't want something else affecting his mood when he was already stressed.
Although he was only speculating about Tian Yuwei's situation, the more he thought about it at a time like this, the more Su Yue felt that something like this was very likely to happen.
While chatting with the agent, Su Yue had already left the office and happened to walk out of the company's main entrance just as he hung up the phone.
Su Yue saw from the glass door that there were indeed two people following him not far away, but Su Yue didn't pay attention to them and called Liang Yuzhu directly.
Plans can never keep up with changes. It was obvious that the current situation was no longer suitable for them, Police, to slowly plan before taking action.
It was clear that Tian Yuwei had already been captured by the serial killer, and they had to act immediately.
A phone call was faster than a text message. After ringing for a while, Liang Yuzhu answered.
When Liang Yuzhu answered the phone, she subconsciously glanced at the time on the screen: 15:24. There were still two and a half hours until Su Yue got off work.
"Su Yue? What's wrong?"
Su Yue said with a serious face, "Captain Liang, the operation must begin immediately."
Liang Yuzhu was used to Su Yue calling her Liang Yuzhu, so she was stunned for a moment when she suddenly heard Su Yue formally call her Captain Liang.
However, she quickly reacted, a little confused, "What's going on?"
Su Yue saw an empty taxi on the road and waved his hand.
He explained to Liang Yuzhu, "Captain Liang, Tian Yuwei is very likely already captured by them. We must rescue Tian Yuwei as soon as possible now."
As soon as Liang Yuzhu heard Su Yue say this, her face instantly became serious. She asked, "What exactly is going on?"
The taxi stopped in front of Su Yue. As he quickly got into the taxi, he told the driver to drive back to his house and spoke at the same time.
"Tian Yuwei is missing. Last night, when I saw that person, it was exactly when I was taking her away. I suspect that person thought my relationship with Tian Yuwei was unusual and specially captured Tian Yuwei to retaliate against me."
Upon learning that there was such a reason behind it, Liang Yuzhu instantly understood and didn't dare to delay at this moment.

She furrowed her brows, "I will fully cooperate with your operation from my side, but because things happened too suddenly, I don't have many personnel available."
Being able to make Liang Yuzhu believe his suspicion and even assign him subordinates was already fortunate enough for Su Yue, so why would he care if the preparations were complete?
He shook his head, "Liang Yuzhu, it's already great that you trust me so much. I'm going home now; I think the other party will definitely leave a message for me."
After listening, Liang Yuzhu nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll head over to your place now too."
After hesitating for a moment, Liang Yuzhu added, "Su Yue, don't be too anxious in your actions. Everything will be fine."
Su Yue, who was originally very nervous, was stunned for a moment after hearing Liang Yuzhu say this, and then also nodded with a smile, "Okay, since Captain Liang said so, I will definitely pay attention."
Seeing that Su Yue was still in the mood to joke, Liang Yuzhu felt much more relaxed.
She didn't chat with Su Yue any longer. After hanging up the phone, she took a group of subordinates and rushed to Su Yue's rental apartment.
When she arrived at Su Yue's rental apartment with a group of people, Su Yue was just leaving with Lin Jia.
When Lin Jia saw them, her pupils widened in surprise, and her gaze shifted back and forth between Su Yue and Liang Yuzhu.
And when Liang Yuzhu saw Su Yue leaving with Lin Jia, she was also very surprised, slightly furrowing her brows and looking at Su Yue in confusion.
She knew that Lin Jia was the suspect's next target, and although they were going to apprehend the killer this time, no one knew if any accidents would happen.
Bringing Lin Jia, who had never experienced anything like this, was not a good thing.
The curiosity in Liang Yuzhu's eyes overflowed. Before Su Yue could say anything, Lin Jia spoke up to explain herself.
"Captain Liang, it was me who repeatedly asked Su Yue to take me along. I probably also know that this incident is actually related to me, and I've spent so much time with Tian Yuwei these past few days that we've become good friends."
"Now she's very likely suffering because of me. At a time like this, I don't want to stay at home waiting in fear and trembling. I want to try going to the scene myself to see if I can help you."
As she spoke, she probably also knew about the potential accidents that could happen if she was at the scene, so she took the initiative to explain to those present.
"Don't worry, I said I wanted to go myself. No matter what happens then, I won't cause you any trouble. Just pretend I'm not there."
Seeing Lin Jia explain so earnestly, Liang Yuzhu felt a bit embarrassed.
Logically, Lin Jia was indeed not suitable to go to the scene with them, but she also said they would completely listen to Su Yue. Since Su Yue didn't speak up to stop her, she couldn't say much either.
Seeing Liang Yuzhu look at her without speaking, Lin Jia seemed to realize that she might indeed cause trouble for Police handling the case, and she also took the initiative to explain.
"If I really can't go, then I won't. I'm very sorry for causing you trouble today."
Lin Jia's words were exceptionally sincere, and her attitude was very good, making it impossible for anyone to get angry at her like this.
And after hearing Lin Jia say this, Liang Yuzhu felt even more embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "I don't know anything. I'm here now to ask Su Yue where he's going next."
After speaking, she turned to look at Su Yue, not giving Lin Jia even a sidelong glance.
Lin Jia was stunned for a while, then quickly realized that Liang Yuzhu was implicitly allowing her to go to the scene with them, and she immediately smiled happily.
Of course, she could also tell from Liang Yuzhu's reaction that her desire to go to the scene was indeed not in line with regulations. Liang Yuzhu was just not forcing her not to do so at the moment.
Therefore, as Lin Jia said she would, she tried her best to hide herself and quietly act like a transparent person.
Su Yue actually didn't fully agree with Lin Jia going to the scene either, but he thought that Liang Yuzhu would also bring her subordinates, and they could protect Lin Jia then, so he ultimately didn't refuse Lin Jia.
Now that Lin Jia had also actively persuaded Liang Yuzhu, Su Yue didn't interfere further and signaled Liang Yuzhu to set off first.
"Let's get in the car first. It's too conspicuous here. We can talk about anything else on the way."
Although Liang Yuzhu and the people she brought had made some disguises, if someone looked closely, it would be easy to see that Liang Yuzhu and her group were still clearly different from ordinary people.
Liang Yuzhu also felt that it would indeed be too conspicuous if they kept talking here, so she had no objection to Su Yue's arrangement.
She instructed her subordinates to get into their respective cars, then arranged an ordinary car for Su Yue and Lin Jia before getting into the car with them.
As soon as Liang Yuzhu got into the car, Su Yue handed her the letter he had just taken from the gap in the door.
The moment she took the letter from Su Yue's hand, Liang Yuzhu's expression instantly became serious.
She carefully opened the envelope, and upon seeing the bloody letter that bore a striking resemblance to the one on Su Yue's computer before, she instantly furrowed her brows.
This time, the content of the letter was, "Su Yue, everyone you care about will die one by one before you, and then it will be your turn hahaha."
A bloody skull was also drawn on it.
At the very bottom, there was a line of small text, which was an address in the suburbs.
Seeing the other party being so arrogant, even leaving them an address, Liang Yuzhu's hand holding the letter tightened slightly, and her tone became a bit more serious.
"Su Yue, your guess was indeed correct."
Su Yue had guessed that Tian Yuwei's disappearance was related to this serial murder case. After seeing this letter, Liang Yuzhu instantly agreed with Su Yue's guess.
It was clear that Zhu Hua and the culprit had been driven mad by them; now they were even acting like lunatics, targeting the people around Su Yue.
Liang Yuzhu looked at Su Yue with a very serious and earnest gaze: "Su Yue, don't worry, I will definitely apprehend the culprit as soon as possible!"
Because the other party had arrogantly left them an address this time, Liang Yuzhu immediately reported the clues she currently had to the station and requested backup.
The higher-ups were now very approving and supportive of Su Yue, especially seeing that he had directly obtained a concrete lead. They were also very generous regarding Liang Yuzhu's request.
With a wave of their hand, they directly allowed them to command several other teams.
After Liang Yuzhu hung up the phone and learned from the higher-ups how many people they had sent this time, she looked at Su Yue as if looking at a god or Buddha.
Liang Yuzhu knew that this case was indeed a big one, and such an important case would indeed require a lot of personnel.
But which case nowadays isn't short-staffed?
But the biggest contributor who could get so many people approved without hesitation, like this time, was still Su Yue.
